1
00:00:03,166 --> 00:00:05,166
Making moonshine's illegal.
2
00:00:05,166 --> 00:00:08,200
You can get
seriously hurt
or go to jail.
3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:09,734
Do not try this at home.
4
00:00:10,567 --> 00:00:12,700
[narrator] This time
on Moonshiners...
5
00:00:12,700 --> 00:00:14,667
[Killer Beaz] I got one thing
I want to talk to y'all about.
6
00:00:14,667 --> 00:00:16,266
Shine pods.
7
00:00:16,266 --> 00:00:18,767
Beaz has this
harebrained idea
8
00:00:18,767 --> 00:00:21,300
about building
an interactive cocktail.
9
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:22,767
At $5 a pop,
10
00:00:22,767 --> 00:00:24,000
gotta make this work.
11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,500
That's insane damn money.
12
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:27,767
[Amanda] These
things are just--
13
00:00:27,767 --> 00:00:28,800
[Beaz] They're
like egg yolks.
14
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,000
[Digger on speaker]
Go ahead, Beaz.
15
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,400
We're not able to do this.
16
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:32,834
[Digger]
We need this order, Beaz.
17
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:35,467
[Jerry] The guy took the bait.
18
00:00:35,467 --> 00:00:37,467
[Mike on speaker]
19
00:00:37,467 --> 00:00:39,800
This thief sent word
that he's willing
to sell his still.
20
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,667
The guy wanted
$1,500 for it.
21
00:00:41,667 --> 00:00:43,300
He ain't never gonna
see no cash at all.
22
00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:45,166
Don't turn your back
on that damn fool.
23
00:00:45,166 --> 00:00:46,300
Oh, heck no, man.
24
00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:49,066
I'm not a cop.
I've never been
in this situation before.
25
00:00:53,667 --> 00:00:54,567
He's following us.
26
00:00:54,567 --> 00:00:55,934
[tires screeching]
27
00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:00,133
[man] This is how
we make the moonshine!
28
00:01:06,667 --> 00:01:10,066
[Mark] Baby man. Let's see.
I need six hazelnut rum.
29
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:13,767
-[man] Yep.
-[Mark] And I need
six of the triple malts.
30
00:01:13,767 --> 00:01:15,367
Triple malts.
31
00:01:15,367 --> 00:01:17,266
[narrator] In Cocke County,
Tennessee,
32
00:01:17,266 --> 00:01:22,700
after a thief stole $11,000
worth of liquor
from their cargo van...
33
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:25,166
Well, that's an outstanding
lookin' bootlegging car.
34
00:01:25,166 --> 00:01:27,767
[narrator] ...Mark and Digger
have their bootlegger
Killer Beaz
35
00:01:27,767 --> 00:01:31,266
downsized
to a less conspicuous
delivery vehicle.
36
00:01:31,266 --> 00:01:32,900
[Digger] We've got liquor
going out the door.
37
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:34,667
It's reminiscent the way
it was in the late '80s,
38
00:01:34,667 --> 00:01:35,834
early '90s in our world.
39
00:01:35,834 --> 00:01:38,500
I mean, back then,
we were moving
a train load of liquor
40
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:40,300
and we're headed
that way fast again.
41
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:42,467
-Killer.
-Good morning,
young people.
42
00:01:42,467 --> 00:01:44,000
7,500 bucks.
43
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,567
-Oh, that's what I've been
talking about.
-[Digger] Perfect.
44
00:01:45,567 --> 00:01:47,166
[Beaz] We got
so much going, man.
45
00:01:47,166 --> 00:01:49,100
I got to write
all this stuff
down now.
46
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:51,867
Cherry wheat,
five cases.
47
00:01:51,867 --> 00:01:55,367
You know, Beaz,
he drops by a minimum
of once a week.
48
00:01:55,367 --> 00:01:57,000
-This is the...
-Triple malt.
49
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,567
-Triple malt.
-Triple malt.
50
00:01:58,567 --> 00:02:00,700
And he sells the hell
out of some liquor.
51
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:03,767
You know the deal.
It's time for you to go
and make us some money.
52
00:02:03,767 --> 00:02:06,367
Yep, I got one thing
I want to talk to y'all about.
53
00:02:06,367 --> 00:02:08,100
It ain't time
for a raise, Beaz.
54
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:09,700
Just bear with me.
55
00:02:09,700 --> 00:02:11,300
Shine pods.
56
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:14,166
[country music playing]
57
00:02:15,066 --> 00:02:16,900
I don't know what that is.
58
00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:18,767
This is a laundry pod.
59
00:02:18,767 --> 00:02:23,266
I have a big money buyer
in Nashville that likes to do
out of the norm things,
60
00:02:23,266 --> 00:02:25,567
and he is wanting some liquor
61
00:02:25,567 --> 00:02:30,000
that can be
an interactive experience
62
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000
with his people who come
to his big parties.
63
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,900
Well, I thought
interactive experience
with liquor
64
00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:38,600
was just drinking
with your friends.
65
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,100
Yeah, that's the interaction.
66
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:42,000
That's old timey days.
67
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,967
Well, we're old timey people.
68
00:02:43,967 --> 00:02:48,166
He doesn't know what he wants,
but he wants something
with some visual effect.
69
00:02:48,166 --> 00:02:52,867
I'm thinking we could
get liquor in a gel pod
70
00:02:52,867 --> 00:02:56,166
that people could drop
into their mixers,
into whatever,
71
00:02:56,166 --> 00:02:59,934
and it would release
the alcohol into it.
72
00:03:00,767 --> 00:03:04,500
My vision is
it's almost like
a liquid...
73
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:08,066
fireworks display
in your goblet.
74
00:03:08,066 --> 00:03:10,567
I think it would be a hit
if it can actually work.
75
00:03:10,567 --> 00:03:12,700
I don't know
if it's doable.
76
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:16,166
Even if it is feasible,
we don't know how to do it.
77
00:03:16,166 --> 00:03:17,867
You didn't give him
a price, did you?
78
00:03:17,867 --> 00:03:22,266
I told him they would run
at least five bucks a pod.
79
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,066
There's 85 shots
in a gallon.
80
00:03:25,066 --> 00:03:28,266
-Yeah.
-So $5 a shot,
five aces,
81
00:03:28,266 --> 00:03:30,000
400, five piles of 25,
82
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,667
$425 for a gallon
of liquor.
83
00:03:32,667 --> 00:03:34,567
-Right.
-And I'm all about that.
84
00:03:34,567 --> 00:03:36,066
When Beaz tells us
85
00:03:36,066 --> 00:03:38,266
you can get $5 a pop
for these things,
86
00:03:38,266 --> 00:03:40,567
I mean,
that really piques
our interest.
87
00:03:40,567 --> 00:03:43,100
It could be
a big avenue
for revenue.
88
00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:44,867
I know how
he loves a challenge.
89
00:03:44,867 --> 00:03:46,600
-I mean, he's--
-Well, I don't want
to be defeated,
90
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,300
but I like
making that money.
91
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:51,800
Me and you
might not be smart enough,
but we know who is.
92
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,767
We need to put this
in the hands of Amanda
93
00:03:53,767 --> 00:03:56,567
and let her put that
brilliant mind of hers
to work.
94
00:03:56,567 --> 00:03:59,300
We got younger eyes
out here working for us.
95
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:01,300
Well, they've got
younger ideas.
96
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:03,066
You tell them
we don't know how to do it,
97
00:04:03,066 --> 00:04:04,667
but we're gonna
do our best to find out.
98
00:04:04,667 --> 00:04:06,367
-Okay.
-[Digger] Can you get them
down the road
99
00:04:06,367 --> 00:04:08,667
and get us some money made
so we can explore
this venture?
100
00:04:08,667 --> 00:04:10,166
Yeah, all right.
Later, man.
101
00:04:10,166 --> 00:04:11,200
See you, brother.
102
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,400
[Mark] The amount of money
that that could generate.
103
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,333
[country music playing]
104
00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:22,567
[Mike] It's still
hard to believe
that we ain't got
105
00:04:22,567 --> 00:04:25,000
no dadgum still
to go to the woods
with, son.
106
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,033
I don't know what
we're gonna do, man.
107
00:04:27,867 --> 00:04:30,266
[narrator] In Haywood County,
North Carolina,
108
00:04:30,266 --> 00:04:33,166
after Jerry's friend Roger
shared a video
109
00:04:33,166 --> 00:04:38,000
showing a man
stealing their one-of-a-kind
waterless moonshine still...
110
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,600
[man] Holy [bleep]!
111
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,567
[narrator]
...the Maggie Valley Trio
plots a strategy
112
00:04:42,567 --> 00:04:45,100
to reclaim
their stolen property.
113
00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:47,900
You know, the guy
that actually took the still
and made this video,
114
00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:51,967
he's got a large list
of felonies, larceny,
trespassing.
115
00:04:51,967 --> 00:04:53,700
He's been known
to do a lot of drugs.
116
00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:55,200
He's just a common criminal.
117
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,900
The longer we take,
not seeing the still,
118
00:04:57,900 --> 00:04:59,700
not finding out
where that's at,
119
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:02,567
the chances are
we're never gonna
get it back.
120
00:05:02,567 --> 00:05:05,867
No, the longer we go,
the more he's inclined
to take this thing
121
00:05:05,867 --> 00:05:07,600
and cut it apart
and try to get rid of it.
122
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,467
Exactly.
Now is the window
of opportunity
123
00:05:10,467 --> 00:05:12,500
to try to find this guy,
find him fast
124
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:14,300
and see if he
still has our still.
125
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:16,567
Maybe we try to find out
where this thug lives
126
00:05:16,567 --> 00:05:18,600
and let's go raid
his sheds or something
127
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,700
in the middle of the night,
see if we can't
find our stuff
128
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:21,700
and just take it.
129
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:23,967
Well, you know,
that dude can
really be bad news.
130
00:05:23,967 --> 00:05:25,367
-[Mike] Oh, yeah.
-We might be
dealing with something
131
00:05:25,367 --> 00:05:26,734
a little bit bigger
than we thought.
132
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,200
This might not go well.
133
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,367
Well, he's dangerous.
134
00:05:34,367 --> 00:05:36,767
He could be armed,
and if we're on his territory,
135
00:05:36,767 --> 00:05:40,567
there's no telling
what kind of situation
we could run into.
136
00:05:40,567 --> 00:05:43,467
Maybe we should come up
with some type
of reward money.
137
00:05:43,467 --> 00:05:46,266
Something to offer him
to get the still back,
138
00:05:46,266 --> 00:05:47,767
you know, without him
knowing who we are.
139
00:05:47,767 --> 00:05:48,867
Do you want to pay somebody?
140
00:05:48,867 --> 00:05:49,767
Definitely not.
141
00:05:49,767 --> 00:05:51,000
He won't ever get the money.
142
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,367
Oh, you just want
like a, like a-- throwing
a cheese out there
143
00:05:53,367 --> 00:05:55,467
-and be able
to reel it back in.
-Exactly right.
144
00:05:55,467 --> 00:05:57,000
[Mike] Your guy give you
the video, right?
145
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,767
That guy that took the video
gave it to somebody.
146
00:05:59,767 --> 00:06:02,266
Roger's niece is the one
who actually knows
this piece of crap.
147
00:06:02,266 --> 00:06:04,166
She's the one who got
the video to begin with.
148
00:06:04,166 --> 00:06:07,867
So maybe we can go backwards
and be able to get
ahold of this guy.
149
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,266
[Mike] All it'll be
is somebody saying,
150
00:06:09,266 --> 00:06:11,867
"Hey, there's somebody
that's actually wanting
to buy that!"
151
00:06:11,867 --> 00:06:15,266
He's gonna be like,
"Yeah, we'll sell it to you!"
152
00:06:15,266 --> 00:06:18,100
You know, the only link
that we've got
to this crook now
153
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:19,867
is through
Jerry's friend Roger.
154
00:06:19,867 --> 00:06:22,400
So if we can talk to Roger
and convince Roger
155
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,066
to get in touch
with the crook
and, you know,
156
00:06:25,066 --> 00:06:27,567
put up a cash offer,
a big cash offer,
157
00:06:27,567 --> 00:06:29,667
maybe we can
lure this sucker in.
158
00:06:29,667 --> 00:06:32,100
-[Richard] That's a good idea.
-Offer him 500 bucks.
159
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:34,000
Let's go.
160
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,500
You know, we don't
want to offer him
some much down money
161
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:38,767
for it to where, you know,
it spooks him off
or something.
162
00:06:39,367 --> 00:06:40,567
But $500?
163
00:06:40,567 --> 00:06:43,200
That seems pretty reasonable
for a stolen still.
164
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,400
$500 is more than
he can get at a scrap yard
165
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,900
any day of the week
for that still.
166
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:48,867
Hey, buddy.
167
00:06:48,867 --> 00:06:50,500
All right.
It's going all right,
I guess.
168
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:52,934
Hey, look,
if you're willing to help us,
man, we've got an idea.
169
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,667
Tell him that somebody
wanted to purchase it,
170
00:06:55,667 --> 00:06:57,867
like, they throw down
a $500 offer.
171
00:07:00,567 --> 00:07:02,200
All right, man.
Let's see what
you can do for us.
172
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,967
Let me know
if you hear anything.
173
00:07:03,967 --> 00:07:06,266
You know, my buddy Roger,
he don't really want
to get involved,
174
00:07:06,266 --> 00:07:08,600
but he sees
the need that we need
to get ahold of this guy.
175
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,867
And he knows
that he's our only
point of contact.
176
00:07:11,867 --> 00:07:13,700
So he's gonna jump on board
with us and see
177
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:15,367
if he can give us a hand
finding this thing.
178
00:07:15,367 --> 00:07:18,467
And he said
he'd throw the word
out there at best, you know.
179
00:07:18,467 --> 00:07:19,467
Yeah.
180
00:07:19,467 --> 00:07:21,600
I just hope this guy's
dumb enough to take the bait
181
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,367
hook, line and sinker,
and we get the still back
unscathed.
182
00:07:25,367 --> 00:07:27,367
[Jerry] Maybe
we'll shake a tree,
maybe we'll get it fruit.
183
00:07:27,367 --> 00:07:28,300
[Richard] Let's go shake it.
184
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:33,166
[country music playing]
185
00:07:37,467 --> 00:07:39,567
[Big Chuk] This damn creek
is treacherous, man.
186
00:07:39,567 --> 00:07:42,000
[Joe] I don't remember
this much water.
187
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,367
[narrator] Just north
of Hot Springs, Arkansas,
188
00:07:44,367 --> 00:07:46,166
after discovering old liquor
189
00:07:46,166 --> 00:07:48,567
in an abandoned
Prohibition-era club...
190
00:07:48,567 --> 00:07:52,100
-Oh, my God, cuz.
-[Joe] Is that from
the days of Al Capone?
191
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:54,567
[narrator] ...double cousins
Big Chuk and Joe Boy
192
00:07:54,567 --> 00:07:57,467
attempt to recreate
that same style of moonshine
193
00:07:57,467 --> 00:08:01,667
once made by Al Capone's
nearby illegal distillery.
194
00:08:01,667 --> 00:08:03,834
And let's make sure
this mash ready to run.
195
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,634
Here goes... nothing.
196
00:08:07,100 --> 00:08:09,066
Voila. Cap done fell.
197
00:08:09,867 --> 00:08:10,967
Bitter.
198
00:08:12,166 --> 00:08:14,900
So about a week ago,
we mashed in this corn.
199
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:18,300
We used world renowned,
famous Hot Springs
mineral water.
200
00:08:18,300 --> 00:08:20,200
This is the secret ingredient
201
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,500
to recreate this
Prohibition-style moonshine.
202
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:25,166
The same type of moonshine
that people like Al Capone
and them
203
00:08:25,166 --> 00:08:27,266
came from Chicago
down here to make.
204
00:08:27,266 --> 00:08:29,066
We're going to pour
the mash into here.
205
00:08:29,066 --> 00:08:30,667
This is where
the corn liquor goes.
206
00:08:30,667 --> 00:08:32,567
We're basically going
to handle that like
a stripping run.
207
00:08:32,567 --> 00:08:33,767
We're gonna run it
kind of hot.
208
00:08:33,767 --> 00:08:35,000
-Yeah.
-We'll get it pumping.
209
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,900
But while that's
doing all that,
210
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:38,800
we're gonna dump
all the peaches in here,
211
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,100
put a little water in there
212
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:41,567
and let them
just start simmering.
213
00:08:41,567 --> 00:08:43,900
I want to cook out
all the flavor
of them peaches.
214
00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:47,200
By the time
that's done running,
all we gotta do then,
215
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,467
-dump our distillate
in here.
-Yeah.
216
00:08:49,467 --> 00:08:52,500
Pop a cap,
stick it on here,
paste up.
217
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:53,567
It's gonna be fire, man.
218
00:08:53,567 --> 00:08:55,800
-Let's get to it, baby.
-Yeah, let's get it.
219
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,166
So this here is gonna be
a double distilled liquor.
220
00:08:58,166 --> 00:09:00,100
Do it handful by handful,
221
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:01,967
which is gonna
make it really smooth.
222
00:09:01,967 --> 00:09:04,834
It's gonna come out
being a good, clean,
peachy flavored product.
223
00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:07,967
Get ready to fire
that sumbitch up.
224
00:09:07,967 --> 00:09:08,967
[Joe] I'll tell you when.
225
00:09:10,667 --> 00:09:11,600
When.
226
00:09:14,567 --> 00:09:17,400
God dog!
That burned the damn
hair off my arm.
227
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,667
[Joe] That burner
there is kicking.
228
00:09:18,667 --> 00:09:20,567
Get the cap on
and start rigging
all this up.
229
00:09:20,567 --> 00:09:23,000
I'm gonna get these peaches
and some water
going in this.
230
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,066
Pour these in.
231
00:09:27,367 --> 00:09:28,600
We cooked them sumbitches.
232
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,800
About that time they cook that
233
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,000
is when we're gonna be
dumping corn liquor in.
234
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,166
Put a little water in there.
235
00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:34,266
Yeah!
236
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:39,867
Ah! God dog, man!
237
00:09:39,867 --> 00:09:42,500
So now I'm gonna
use a little peach juice
for the paste.
238
00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:43,767
I like mine thick.
239
00:09:43,767 --> 00:09:45,166
Maybe that old sugar
from them peaches
240
00:09:45,166 --> 00:09:47,333
will make that paste
a little bit more tacky.
241
00:09:49,166 --> 00:09:50,166
Look like peach cobbler
242
00:09:50,166 --> 00:09:52,233
-by the time
it's all said and done.
-[Joe] Cuz!
243
00:09:53,367 --> 00:09:55,767
Oh, [bleep]!
244
00:09:55,767 --> 00:09:57,266
[Big Chuk] Are you kiddin' me?
245
00:09:57,266 --> 00:09:58,467
Man, if we can't
get this sealed up,
246
00:09:58,467 --> 00:10:00,367
it's just gonna
blow steam out.
247
00:10:00,367 --> 00:10:02,967
As we journeyed
down this creek,
busting our asses,
248
00:10:02,967 --> 00:10:03,934
somewhere along the way,
249
00:10:03,934 --> 00:10:05,667
we've knocked
something loose
on the worm box,
250
00:10:05,667 --> 00:10:07,567
creating a big old
gap at the bottom.
251
00:10:07,567 --> 00:10:10,767
If the worm don't stay cool,
we're gonna be blowing vapor
out across the creek.
252
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:14,467
I'll take some screws
out of this handle
and put it in it.
253
00:10:14,467 --> 00:10:16,467
-There you go.
-Start bucketing water.
254
00:10:16,467 --> 00:10:18,066
So Joe Boy's
pretty quick on his feet,
255
00:10:18,767 --> 00:10:19,967
trying to cinch it up.
256
00:10:21,967 --> 00:10:23,166
It's about to start running,
cuz.
257
00:10:24,367 --> 00:10:26,700
But it's like putting
a Band-Aid on
a big old, gaping wound.
258
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:29,000
I guess the only solution
we got is bucket fill
this thing
259
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,367
all the way through
the whole run.
260
00:10:30,367 --> 00:10:31,433
[Joe] We need to hurry.
261
00:10:36,467 --> 00:10:37,533
[Joe grunts]
262
00:10:38,266 --> 00:10:39,767
Here comes the liquor.
263
00:10:39,767 --> 00:10:40,767
Here it comes.
264
00:10:40,767 --> 00:10:41,867
[Big Chuk] You can't explain
how good it feels
265
00:10:41,867 --> 00:10:43,967
to finally get started
from this first run.
266
00:10:43,967 --> 00:10:45,667
Hold on.
Let me throw this out.
267
00:10:45,667 --> 00:10:48,233
The sad part is,
is we ain't nowhere
near done yet.
268
00:10:48,467 --> 00:10:50,233
[Joe grunts]
269
00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:52,667
[Big Chuk] Swap it out.
270
00:10:52,667 --> 00:10:55,066
We've got to work
as fast as we possibly can,
271
00:10:55,066 --> 00:10:56,200
putting buckets in,
272
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,367
in order to keep
the water level up
273
00:10:57,367 --> 00:10:59,300
where it's
protecting the liquor.
274
00:10:59,300 --> 00:11:00,867
Here, this ain't even
running no more.
275
00:11:01,567 --> 00:11:02,767
And we're getting
into tails, 'cuz.
276
00:11:02,767 --> 00:11:03,900
Go cut that sumbitch off!
277
00:11:03,900 --> 00:11:05,033
All right.
278
00:11:05,033 --> 00:11:07,600
So now that
this first run is done,
it's on to step two.
279
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,767
And that's adding
this distillate in there
with them peaches,
280
00:11:09,767 --> 00:11:11,767
where they're already
heated up pretty good.
281
00:11:11,767 --> 00:11:13,100
So as soon as we
pour this distillate in,
282
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:14,367
we're going
to put the cap on,
283
00:11:14,367 --> 00:11:15,800
and we'll be ready
to run again.
284
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,834
Look, he's making him
some oven mitts here, folks.
285
00:11:19,266 --> 00:11:21,166
[Joe] That's the name
of the game, baby.
286
00:11:21,166 --> 00:11:22,400
[Big Chuk] Guess what?
287
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,266
Now we got to wait, again.
288
00:11:24,266 --> 00:11:25,667
-[Joe] Got it.
-Got it?
289
00:11:25,667 --> 00:11:26,667
[Joe] Let's dance, baby.
290
00:11:26,667 --> 00:11:27,734
[Big Chuk straining]
291
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:35,000
I'm gonna tell you right now,
this is the hardest work
292
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,300
I've ever done in my life,
to keep this water in there.
293
00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:38,634
[grunts]
294
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:40,567
[Joe] We got a drip!
295
00:11:41,166 --> 00:11:42,667
[Big Chuk] Oh, thank God.
296
00:11:42,667 --> 00:11:44,166
[grunts] [bleep]
297
00:11:52,767 --> 00:11:53,767
That's it, baby.
298
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000
I got corn on the front,
I got peaches on the back.
299
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,367
I got that smoothness
that we found
300
00:12:00,367 --> 00:12:02,266
-on that prohibition liquor.
-Ohh!
301
00:12:02,266 --> 00:12:04,667
-All this hard work's
payin' off, 'cuz.
-We just did it, boy.
302
00:12:04,667 --> 00:12:06,266
-Yeah, son!
-We did it, boy!
303
00:12:09,467 --> 00:12:11,767
I think that we've finally
got something here
304
00:12:11,767 --> 00:12:13,767
that tastes just like
that liquor we found
305
00:12:13,767 --> 00:12:16,300
underneath the whole city
of Hot Springs.
306
00:12:16,300 --> 00:12:18,400
Holy crap, man,
that is fire.
307
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,667
Just to think
we've got the same liquor
in our hands
308
00:12:20,667 --> 00:12:22,400
that people
like Al Capone and them
309
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,900
probably held
in their hands...
310
00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:25,900
We've got to keep on
bucketing baby.
311
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:27,433
We got six gallons to go.
312
00:12:28,367 --> 00:12:30,100
Man, I'm super excited
about this.
313
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:31,567
It's fixin'
to fly off the shelves.
314
00:12:31,567 --> 00:12:33,734
-I'm about tired.
-[Big Chuk laughs] Yeah.
315
00:12:34,767 --> 00:12:36,500
Don't turn your back
on that damn fool.
316
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:37,467
Oh, heck no!
317
00:12:37,467 --> 00:12:38,800
He's in trouble
with the law all the time.
318
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,166
So, hell,
he may pull a gun.
319
00:12:40,166 --> 00:12:41,967
If he does, I'm gonna
have to pull mine too.
320
00:12:41,967 --> 00:12:44,467
-[man] [bleep]
-[Jerry speaking]
321
00:12:44,467 --> 00:12:46,467
[Amanda speaking]
322
00:12:48,066 --> 00:12:49,867
Damn sure
is spooky up here.
323
00:12:49,867 --> 00:12:52,600
-I turned the lights on.
-[Amanda] It was your idea!
324
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,266
Beaz has this harebrained idea
about building what he calls
325
00:12:57,266 --> 00:13:00,900
an interactive cocktail
for his client in Nashville
326
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:04,667
involving a dissolvable
shine pod.
327
00:13:04,667 --> 00:13:06,467
And we don't know
nothin' about this.
328
00:13:06,467 --> 00:13:09,300
So we recruited
somebody who does.
329
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:11,200
Obviously,
that would be Amanda.
330
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,567
Amanda, what's
this process called again
331
00:13:13,567 --> 00:13:15,266
that you've been
investigating?
332
00:13:15,266 --> 00:13:17,133
Reverse spherification.
333
00:13:18,567 --> 00:13:20,367
It's a molecular gastronomy
technique.
334
00:13:20,367 --> 00:13:23,500
They use it in
high-end cocktail bars
and in restaurants.
335
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:26,800
So we're gonna make
a food-grade outer container,
336
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,600
something that's edible,
that people can consume.
337
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,900
So basically,
you take two chemicals.
338
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:34,200
You have calcium lactate
and sodium alginate.
339
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,567
They're both edible
for human consumption.
340
00:13:36,567 --> 00:13:38,867
Basically, it makes like
a little gel shell.
341
00:13:38,867 --> 00:13:40,767
And then the alcohol
will be on the inside.
342
00:13:40,767 --> 00:13:44,567
I don't know anything
about how to even
start this process.
343
00:13:44,567 --> 00:13:46,500
To me, it's a crazy idea.
344
00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:49,767
But what's not crazy
about it is $5 a piece.
345
00:13:49,767 --> 00:13:54,100
Amanda, you've
got to make this work
regardless of what it takes.
346
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:57,000
I mean, that's insane
damn money.
347
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,200
So no-- no pressure,
then, right?
348
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,600
-[Mark] No pressure.
-[Digger] When have you
promised these?
349
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,400
I have not promised
these at all.
350
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,767
-Wonderful.
-I do know
351
00:14:04,767 --> 00:14:08,000
that he has a party
coming up
in about three weeks.
352
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:08,934
[Digger] I'm okay with that.
353
00:14:08,934 --> 00:14:10,500
-I'm excited about that thing.
-[Digger] Yeah.
354
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:12,467
[Digger] Well,
y'all get to doing
what you do.
355
00:14:12,467 --> 00:14:13,567
She's in charge.
356
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:16,800
If this goes over and works...
357
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,266
Thanks for the work space.
358
00:14:18,266 --> 00:14:21,300
...that's going to be
the highest price per gallon
359
00:14:21,300 --> 00:14:24,900
for any liquor
that we've ever sold
in our entire life.
360
00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:27,700
We have the sodium alginate
and the calcium lactate.
361
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:30,467
We're going to put
the liquor in this one.
362
00:14:30,467 --> 00:14:33,200
And then distilled water
in this one.
363
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,367
The first thing
we really have to do
364
00:14:34,367 --> 00:14:36,500
is prove that we can
make these pods.
365
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:38,467
For one liter of water,
366
00:14:38,467 --> 00:14:41,867
we're going to use
five grams of our
sodium alginate.
367
00:14:41,867 --> 00:14:43,767
So we're gonna need
10 grams of this.
368
00:14:43,767 --> 00:14:47,000
So reverse spherification
is a process where
you take two solutions.
369
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,300
One will be
our cocktail
with the alcohol.
370
00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:52,100
We'll mix in something
called calcium lactate.
371
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:54,266
And the other solution
is sodium alginate.
372
00:14:54,266 --> 00:14:56,066
So it's like
a derivative
of seaweed.
373
00:14:56,066 --> 00:14:59,600
When they come together,
they create a gelatin form.
374
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,433
Now this is cloudy,
but once it sits,
it should be totally clear.
375
00:15:02,867 --> 00:15:03,767
The sodium alginate,
376
00:15:03,767 --> 00:15:06,100
this is the bath, basically.
377
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:07,233
So we're going
to take the alcohol,
378
00:15:07,233 --> 00:15:10,066
freeze it
into little ice cubes,
and we drop it in here.
379
00:15:10,066 --> 00:15:14,600
Once it hits this,
the outside of the alcohol
will touch this.
380
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,800
And that forms
the shell around it.
381
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,367
Exactly.
So next, we're gonna
mix our cocktail.
382
00:15:20,467 --> 00:15:21,634
For the cocktail portion,
383
00:15:21,634 --> 00:15:26,667
we're gonna take the alcohol,
get it down to below 45 proof.
384
00:15:26,667 --> 00:15:28,166
That way,
it can freeze.
385
00:15:28,166 --> 00:15:30,900
-So this is a cherry juice.
-Mm-hmm.
386
00:15:30,900 --> 00:15:32,667
[Amanda] So figure we'll make,
like, cherry flavored ones.
387
00:15:32,667 --> 00:15:34,400
-See how they taste.
-Got you.
388
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,467
[Amanda] This is strictly
just for experimentation
389
00:15:36,467 --> 00:15:38,700
and just to really
get our hands
on the process
390
00:15:38,700 --> 00:15:40,066
and see what
we're dealing with.
391
00:15:40,066 --> 00:15:41,867
We have the calcium lactate.
392
00:15:41,867 --> 00:15:43,367
-Mm-hmm.
-And we're going
to add that to this,
393
00:15:43,367 --> 00:15:44,667
which is our cocktail.
394
00:15:44,667 --> 00:15:46,367
I think we should do
some sampling first
395
00:15:46,367 --> 00:15:49,100
-before we put
anything in it.
-Yeah.
396
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:51,133
Make sure it tastes good--
Oh, that tastes
really good, actually.
397
00:15:52,967 --> 00:15:54,500
And it's got
some kick in there.
398
00:15:54,500 --> 00:15:56,166
So this calcium lactate
we're using
399
00:15:56,166 --> 00:15:58,000
is flavorless
and colorless.
400
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,200
Once it's mixed up,
freeze the alcohol,
401
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,667
and then we drop it
into the solution
of the sodium alginate.
402
00:16:02,667 --> 00:16:04,767
And that should give us
an edible sphere
403
00:16:04,767 --> 00:16:06,667
on the outside
of our liquid cocktail.
404
00:16:06,667 --> 00:16:08,667
What do we
got here then?
405
00:16:08,667 --> 00:16:10,567
-We have forty-eight.
-[Beaz] At 5 bucks a pop.
406
00:16:10,567 --> 00:16:11,900
[Amanda] It's like $240.
407
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:15,000
We'll drop them
in our sodium alginate,
408
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,166
and hopefully,
we will have
409
00:16:17,166 --> 00:16:20,700
the world's greatest
shine bomb cocktail
410
00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:22,834
and we're all rich.
411
00:16:23,266 --> 00:16:24,500
Good job.
412
00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:26,100
-Good job.
-Well, it was your idea.
413
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:29,133
[upbeat guitar music playing]
414
00:16:32,266 --> 00:16:34,767
-[Big Chuk] You got that jar
for doing it?
-[Joe] Right here, son.
415
00:16:34,767 --> 00:16:37,667
I hope he's ready
for a little bit
of a higher price tag.
416
00:16:37,667 --> 00:16:39,166
I think he's gonna love
what the hell this is.
417
00:16:39,166 --> 00:16:41,800
Aye. Good liquor ain't cheap
and cheap liquor ain't good.
418
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:42,967
[Joe] You ain't [bleep].
419
00:16:42,967 --> 00:16:48,166
We got us a jar of this
brand new state-of-the-art
moonshine,
420
00:16:48,166 --> 00:16:51,667
I'm gonna take it up here
to our distro,
Gooney Shakur.
421
00:16:51,667 --> 00:16:53,634
So I've been knowing Gooney
for quite a while.
422
00:16:54,367 --> 00:16:56,166
You like that?
423
00:16:56,166 --> 00:16:58,567
How does 40 gallons a week
sound to y'all?
424
00:16:58,567 --> 00:16:59,700
We'll do it.
425
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:00,867
[Big Chuk] We've
earned his respect,
426
00:17:00,867 --> 00:17:02,667
so I feel pretty good
going into this,
427
00:17:02,667 --> 00:17:04,300
knowing we've got
something new,
428
00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:06,700
something exciting,
something he can
take to market.
429
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:09,166
And hopefully, we can just do
bigger and better things.
430
00:17:09,166 --> 00:17:10,767
Well, I hear music
going on up here.
431
00:17:10,767 --> 00:17:13,433
♪ Country road
Don't get caught up
in the headlights ♪
432
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,667
[Big Chuk] Gooney
is an entertainer.
433
00:17:15,667 --> 00:17:16,900
He makes a little music, too.
434
00:17:16,900 --> 00:17:19,133
That's how I kind of got
to know him back in the day.
435
00:17:20,467 --> 00:17:22,800
He's up here
doing what he does,
recording some music.
436
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,066
I feel like moonshine
goes pretty good
with music.
437
00:17:25,066 --> 00:17:26,500
My favorite duo!
438
00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:28,266
-Man, spinnin' here, big dog!
-Good to see you all, boy!
439
00:17:28,266 --> 00:17:29,467
-Hey, man.
-Heck yeah.
440
00:17:29,467 --> 00:17:31,000
I know he respects
the liquor we're making.
441
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,266
What we bring to the table
is gonna be a game-changer
for him and us.
442
00:17:34,266 --> 00:17:35,867
You know, in the early times
of Prohibition, You know,
443
00:17:35,867 --> 00:17:38,900
back in the day of Al Capone,
they were always down
in Hot Springs,
444
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:41,166
-you know,
doing their gambling and...
-Right.
445
00:17:41,166 --> 00:17:43,600
So what I present
to you today, my friends,
446
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:44,967
this is moonshine
447
00:17:44,967 --> 00:17:49,166
made with all the things
that it was made from
back in the day.
448
00:17:49,166 --> 00:17:51,100
-Okay.
-This is the best liquor
I've ever made in my life.
449
00:17:51,100 --> 00:17:52,834
I'm sure
you're gonna like it.
450
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:56,400
-[Gooney] Check it out here.
-[Big Chuk] Uh-huh.
451
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,000
-Y'all said this last time.
-Yeah.
452
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,200
[Big Chuk] Did we
disappoint then?
453
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,433
-Every time
is supposedly better.
-Yeah.
454
00:18:06,667 --> 00:18:07,667
Oh!
455
00:18:07,667 --> 00:18:09,600
I don't care
what you went through
to make this.
456
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,266
[Big Chuk] That's smooth,
ain't it?
457
00:18:11,266 --> 00:18:12,500
A lot more
went into this.
458
00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:14,000
-Yeah.
-A lot more trouble,
a lot more effort,
459
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,567
a lot more research.
460
00:18:15,567 --> 00:18:17,567
What I got right here, man,
461
00:18:17,567 --> 00:18:20,166
somewhere to the tune
of 150 a gallon.
462
00:18:21,567 --> 00:18:22,934
Hell, no.
463
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,066
You're a vested partner
right now, so--
464
00:18:27,066 --> 00:18:28,900
I mean,
I'm just gonna tell you,
465
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:30,634
you're wasting money
making it.
466
00:18:31,166 --> 00:18:32,300
It's not working out.
467
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:33,367
We got to go.
468
00:18:34,166 --> 00:18:36,166
Hey, tell them to turn
this [bleep] off, man.
469
00:18:36,166 --> 00:18:37,867
[Big Chuk] So Gooney
shut us down.
470
00:18:37,867 --> 00:18:40,567
And not only that,
he took a dadgum jar
from us.
471
00:18:40,567 --> 00:18:43,300
I'm deflated,
but I've been in these
situations before.
472
00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:44,767
He took the jar
for a reason.
473
00:18:44,767 --> 00:18:46,567
He's gonna go out
and let people try it.
474
00:18:46,567 --> 00:18:48,700
And try to build
a little bit
of interest in it.
475
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:49,600
I know he'll be back.
476
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,166
I got confidence
in the liquor hell.
477
00:18:51,166 --> 00:18:52,634
Well, hell.
478
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,233
[Amanda] I really hope
this works.
479
00:19:02,166 --> 00:19:04,266
This is a sticky
process, right?
480
00:19:04,266 --> 00:19:06,367
There is a ton of room
for human error.
481
00:19:06,367 --> 00:19:09,266
It's like semi frozen,
but not exactly.
482
00:19:09,266 --> 00:19:11,500
[Beaz] Is it
supposed to float?
483
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:13,266
I-- I don't know, Beaz.
We're just...
484
00:19:13,266 --> 00:19:15,867
We're figuring this out
at the same time here.
485
00:19:15,867 --> 00:19:17,300
We basically have
staged baths
486
00:19:17,300 --> 00:19:18,667
to make
the spherification work.
487
00:19:18,667 --> 00:19:20,667
First, the alcohol
with our calcium lactate
488
00:19:20,667 --> 00:19:22,266
goes into
the sodium alginate bath.
489
00:19:22,266 --> 00:19:23,467
We leave it in there
long enough
490
00:19:23,467 --> 00:19:25,400
to form
a thick enough membrane,
491
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,467
and then we rinse it
in a series of warm,
clean water baths
492
00:19:28,467 --> 00:19:30,567
to stop that membrane
from forming anymore.
493
00:19:30,567 --> 00:19:32,266
Wow. Isn't that something?
494
00:19:32,266 --> 00:19:35,500
So we have figured out
how to encapsulate
our cocktails.
495
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:36,967
We have a sphere.
496
00:19:36,967 --> 00:19:39,700
And there is
an alcohol cocktail
inside of that pod.
497
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:44,100
My goal is to be able
to drop that in a mixer
or whatever
498
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:46,467
and have it spread
the liquor in there.
499
00:19:47,367 --> 00:19:48,467
[Amanda] Well,
that one's not as pretty.
500
00:19:48,467 --> 00:19:49,600
That one broke, Beaz.
501
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,100
Yeah.
502
00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:53,767
-[Amanda] These things
are just--
-They're like egg yolks.
503
00:19:53,767 --> 00:19:56,367
It looks like
we're making
a slasher movie.
504
00:19:56,367 --> 00:19:58,367
These membranes
are kind of durable,
505
00:19:58,367 --> 00:20:00,266
but they're also
pretty fragile
at the same time.
506
00:20:00,266 --> 00:20:01,867
They also
don't always
turn out
507
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:03,467
the perfect sphere
that we're looking for.
508
00:20:03,467 --> 00:20:06,266
I want to test one
and see if it will dissolve
509
00:20:06,266 --> 00:20:09,200
and turn into
the beautiful concept
510
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,266
that I'm pitching
to the customer.
511
00:20:12,266 --> 00:20:15,567
It's just a matter now
of how pleasant is this
experience going to be?
512
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:19,700
Oh! There it goes.
513
00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:20,767
Is it dissolved?
514
00:20:20,767 --> 00:20:22,033
[Beaz] I see a little bit.
515
00:20:22,033 --> 00:20:24,166
Yeah, I see it too.
You've got some blobbiness
going on in there.
516
00:20:24,166 --> 00:20:26,634
Yeah, I saw
the membrane
float by.
517
00:20:27,166 --> 00:20:28,600
Once the foam dissipates,
518
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,433
that slimy gross membrane
it's still hanging on
in there.
519
00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:35,900
Yeah. I don't know.
520
00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:37,100
I don't think
I could go with that.
521
00:20:37,100 --> 00:20:38,867
You're not a fan of this,
are you?
522
00:20:38,867 --> 00:20:40,767
Not even a little bit.
523
00:20:40,767 --> 00:20:42,033
From being
a bartender for years,
524
00:20:42,033 --> 00:20:44,600
that is just not something
that you want to serve
to any customer,
525
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,100
especially
at a high-end party.
526
00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:49,100
The texture
is really unpleasant.
527
00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:51,266
It's just really
not water soluble.
528
00:20:51,266 --> 00:20:52,800
No matter what,
you can break it,
529
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,000
but there's gonna be
that gelatinous blob, still.
530
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,300
[Digger] Go ahead, Beaz.
531
00:20:58,300 --> 00:20:59,600
Hey, buddy, how you doing?
532
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,400
[Digger] Hey, man,
we're just delivering sugar.
What about you?
533
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,266
Man, it's not going good.
534
00:21:04,266 --> 00:21:07,800
These pods aren't turning out
like we need them to, Digger.
535
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,266
I can't sell
what we've got at this point.
536
00:21:11,266 --> 00:21:13,000
[Digger]
That ain't what I need
to hear right now.
537
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000
They don't dissolve
when I drop 'em in a drink.
538
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,500
[Digger]
We need this order, Beaz.
539
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:22,300
Five bucks
for every one of these
we put in this guy's hands.
540
00:21:22,300 --> 00:21:24,900
Do you realize
what profit margin that is?
541
00:21:24,900 --> 00:21:27,867
Amanda, you ain't got
no give up in you. I know you.
542
00:21:27,867 --> 00:21:28,967
I know.
543
00:21:28,967 --> 00:21:30,567
[Digger]
This is your first day
out of the gate on this.
544
00:21:30,567 --> 00:21:31,734
Don't expect miracles.
545
00:21:31,734 --> 00:21:35,600
You need some
fresh hands there?
I mean, I've got Joe.
546
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,667
-Yeah. I mean--
-Yeah. Yeah.
547
00:21:37,667 --> 00:21:39,867
[Digger] If he can
can help you all out,
I'll get Joe with you.
548
00:21:39,867 --> 00:21:43,400
A fresh set of eyes
and some different perspective
549
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,266
would probably help us out
a lot right now.
550
00:21:45,266 --> 00:21:46,600
[Digger]
Look here. Don't quit.
551
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,800
I'll get Joe with you,
then we're moving on.
552
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:49,700
-All right.
-[Digger] All right, guys.
553
00:21:49,700 --> 00:21:51,166
All right. Bye.
554
00:21:51,166 --> 00:21:52,367
Well, all right.
555
00:21:52,367 --> 00:21:54,133
Looks like we're in it
for the long haul.
556
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,367
[Amanda] I hear Mr. Jackson.
557
00:21:59,367 --> 00:22:02,266
[Joe] You think he could
get less stairs?
558
00:22:02,266 --> 00:22:05,100
-What in the...
-Welcome to spherification.
559
00:22:05,100 --> 00:22:08,600
I've been doing research
and development with Joe now,
for a little while.
560
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,100
Digger had this brilliant idea
to put us together
to make hazelnut rum.
561
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:14,000
And he's really good
at troubleshooting.
562
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,400
To me, that
like what I would expect
with reverse spherification.
563
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,800
Visually,
it's just freaking me out.
564
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,934
I don't know
why you chose this color.
565
00:22:24,367 --> 00:22:25,800
I come up in here
566
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,667
and I haven't seen you
in how long
567
00:22:27,667 --> 00:22:29,700
-and this is how you greet me?
-I know.
568
00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:33,467
When Joe looked
at our shine pods,
569
00:22:33,467 --> 00:22:36,867
I could tell
he was trying not to laugh.
570
00:22:36,867 --> 00:22:41,300
Dropping a pod into a drink
and having it react
571
00:22:41,300 --> 00:22:45,800
is not as feasible as
I wished it would have been.
572
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,567
Well, let's think about this.
573
00:22:47,567 --> 00:22:50,100
Maybe it was like
a cart-before-the-horse
scenario,
574
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:54,066
where the idea
of making a cocktail,
dropping it in the glass
575
00:22:54,900 --> 00:22:56,500
wasn't the endgame.
576
00:22:56,500 --> 00:22:58,700
Let's elevate this.
577
00:22:58,700 --> 00:23:01,166
What if it's
an edible cocktail?
578
00:23:01,166 --> 00:23:03,266
An hors d'oeuvres cocktail
that...
579
00:23:03,266 --> 00:23:04,867
Somebody comes around,
580
00:23:04,867 --> 00:23:08,367
instead of a tray of glasses
with cocktails in it
at a party,
581
00:23:08,367 --> 00:23:11,667
you come around and you've got
these pretty little pods
582
00:23:11,667 --> 00:23:13,467
that people
just pop in their mouth.
583
00:23:13,467 --> 00:23:16,867
Gotta be, like, appealing.
It's gotta be palatable.
584
00:23:16,867 --> 00:23:18,667
Joe's impressed
that we've managed to make
585
00:23:18,667 --> 00:23:21,000
these little encapsulated
cocktail spheres.
586
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,700
If we can just improve
the appearance, overall,
and that texture a little bit,
587
00:23:25,700 --> 00:23:28,266
then we might actually
have something here.
588
00:23:28,266 --> 00:23:30,900
I feel like
if we're gonna elevate this
589
00:23:30,900 --> 00:23:33,266
to the place
that it needs to be
for this customer,
590
00:23:33,266 --> 00:23:37,900
we're gonna
have to up the game
in the actual cocktail itself.
591
00:23:37,900 --> 00:23:39,166
-Yeah.
-Okay.
592
00:23:39,166 --> 00:23:42,300
I got this wine-based spirit
that I distilled off recently.
593
00:23:42,300 --> 00:23:44,600
It's really good,
I added blueberries to it.
594
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:45,834
That sounds good.
595
00:23:45,834 --> 00:23:49,033
And I've been planning
to play around
and do a blueberry mojito.
596
00:23:49,266 --> 00:23:51,467
So,
597
00:23:51,467 --> 00:23:54,567
-I've got some spirit for us
to work with...
-[Beaz] Is that the bar bag?
598
00:23:54,567 --> 00:23:56,000
[Joe] ...to build
this cocktail.
599
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,266
[Amanda] Famous bar bag.
600
00:23:57,266 --> 00:23:59,900
[Joe] I got limes,
some mints.
601
00:23:59,900 --> 00:24:00,900
[Beaz] It is a bar bag.
602
00:24:00,900 --> 00:24:02,767
[Amanda] It's literally
an entire bar in a bag.
603
00:24:02,767 --> 00:24:05,166
[Joe] Some blueberries.
604
00:24:05,166 --> 00:24:07,567
I got some
blueberry simple syrup.
605
00:24:07,567 --> 00:24:11,567
So between sweet, mint,
blueberry and lime,
606
00:24:11,567 --> 00:24:14,100
you get the acidity,
the sugar,
607
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:16,367
-a little bit of spiciness.
-[Amanda] Yeah.
608
00:24:16,367 --> 00:24:18,767
And then we can balance
with our simple syrup.
609
00:24:18,767 --> 00:24:20,700
We could add
a whole blueberry, too.
610
00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:22,567
You could add
a whole blueberry.
611
00:24:22,567 --> 00:24:25,400
-Make something that gives
you more texture...
-[Joe] For them to bite into.
612
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,900
It'll be encapsulated
inside of the pod.
613
00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:31,467
And the mint leaf garnish,
I think that looks
a lot more appealing.
614
00:24:31,467 --> 00:24:32,967
A blueberry mojito
615
00:24:32,967 --> 00:24:36,367
is something
that a high-end customer
would buy
616
00:24:36,367 --> 00:24:39,600
at a really nice restaurant
or at a really nice party.
617
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,266
It's not corn shine
and cherry juice.
618
00:24:42,266 --> 00:24:44,900
All right, this will obviously
all be strained,
619
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:47,400
but doesn't that look
a lot more appealing?
620
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,000
[Amanda] Oh,
that smells really good.
621
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,967
So in the cocktail,
it's like a garnish of mint
and blueberry.
622
00:24:51,967 --> 00:24:54,266
I think
that's gonna look nice,
623
00:24:54,266 --> 00:24:56,867
and it's gonna definitely help
with the texture a lot.
624
00:24:56,867 --> 00:24:59,000
-Wow.
-That's good.
625
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,767
Next, all we've gotta do
is add the calcium lactate
to this.
626
00:25:03,767 --> 00:25:07,600
So far, with Joe's input,
I'm feeling a lot better
about the edible cocktails.
627
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,367
So we're gonna add
the calcium lactate
628
00:25:09,367 --> 00:25:11,367
to the new cocktail
that we have mixed up
629
00:25:11,367 --> 00:25:12,767
and freeze it overnight.
630
00:25:12,767 --> 00:25:15,367
Hopefully this next batch
turns out better
than the first one did.
631
00:25:15,367 --> 00:25:16,834
I love that, dude.
632
00:25:26,367 --> 00:25:28,700
[line ringing]
633
00:25:28,700 --> 00:25:30,000
-[Mike] Hello?
-Hey, buddy.
634
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,266
-[Mike] Hey, man.
-Man, I just got the call
from Roger.
635
00:25:32,266 --> 00:25:34,100
-[Mike] What happened?
-Man, you ain't
gonna believe this.
636
00:25:34,100 --> 00:25:36,000
Guy took the bait.
637
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,467
-[Mike] He took the bait?
-Hell yeah, he did.
638
00:25:37,467 --> 00:25:38,567
Hook, line, and sinker.
639
00:25:38,567 --> 00:25:39,800
[Mike] Oh, my God, man.
640
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,367
Let's go get our daggun still.
641
00:25:41,367 --> 00:25:43,867
Meet me at the shop
and we'll kind of go over
a plan from there.
642
00:25:43,867 --> 00:25:44,900
[Mike] All right, will see you
in a minute.
643
00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:46,367
All right, buddy. Bye.
644
00:25:46,367 --> 00:25:47,800
You know,
Roger gives us a call
645
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,400
and lets me know
that this thief sent word
646
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,934
that he's willing
to sell the still.
647
00:25:52,700 --> 00:25:53,967
But we gotta act fast.
648
00:25:53,967 --> 00:25:56,266
We don't want this guy
getting cold feet
and spooking him.
649
00:25:56,266 --> 00:25:59,200
If we do that,
then we'll probably
never get this chance again.
650
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,500
[horn honks]
651
00:26:00,500 --> 00:26:02,266
There they are.
652
00:26:02,266 --> 00:26:05,066
He's expecting five gallons
of liquor and $500.
653
00:26:10,567 --> 00:26:12,467
So he swallowed it
to the hush puppy.
654
00:26:12,467 --> 00:26:13,867
He took it, man.
655
00:26:13,867 --> 00:26:15,567
We had to haggle
with him a little bit.
656
00:26:15,567 --> 00:26:17,467
-We offered the $500, right?
-Right.
657
00:26:17,467 --> 00:26:20,000
Well, he wasn't having that.
He felt like it was worth
more than that.
658
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,400
So he wanted
$1,500 for the still.
659
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,467
Roger, being the guy he is,
660
00:26:23,467 --> 00:26:25,567
he likes to haggle
and barter with people.
661
00:26:25,567 --> 00:26:26,500
He's like,
"Tell you what I'll do,
662
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:29,200
I'll give you $500
and five gallons of liquor."
663
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,600
Well, right here's
gonna be our liquor.
664
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,300
[Richard and Mike laugh]
665
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:33,567
Hell, yeah. Let's go get.
666
00:26:33,567 --> 00:26:35,000
And, well, he ain't never
gonna see no cash at all.
667
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000
-You ain't gonna
give him no money?
-Cut this water off.
668
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:37,834
No, nothing.
669
00:26:37,834 --> 00:26:39,166
We ain't about to
give this guy nothing.
670
00:26:39,166 --> 00:26:41,567
He ain't getting no money,
and he ain't getting
no moonshine.
671
00:26:41,567 --> 00:26:43,967
We're gonna
get that still back, though.
672
00:26:43,967 --> 00:26:45,767
Let's go get this damn still.
673
00:26:45,767 --> 00:26:47,166
Well, here's the deal.
674
00:26:47,166 --> 00:26:50,066
You know,
Roger made a deal
with this guy, okay?
675
00:26:50,066 --> 00:26:52,166
So I feel like he needs to go
'cause he knows this guy.
676
00:26:52,166 --> 00:26:53,967
He just said, "You know,
with these guys showing up,
677
00:26:53,967 --> 00:26:55,800
don't want you guys
showing up."
678
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,066
I gotta go by myself.
679
00:26:57,066 --> 00:27:00,166
Me and Roger.
We can't take no chances
of spooking this guy off.
680
00:27:00,567 --> 00:27:01,867
The best thing to do
681
00:27:01,867 --> 00:27:04,567
is to have Mike and Richard
and the camera crew
stay behind.
682
00:27:04,567 --> 00:27:08,066
This could be our one chance
to get this still back,
and I can't ruin it.
683
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,200
I'm gonna swap
and pick him up.
684
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,400
And me and him
will roll in there.
685
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:12,467
'Cause we don't wanna
spook this guy, man.
686
00:27:12,467 --> 00:27:13,667
If we roll in there,
all four of us,
687
00:27:13,667 --> 00:27:15,000
he might get spooked
and take off on us.
688
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,400
I will say,
whatever you do man,
689
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,066
this is a unheard-of deal,
690
00:27:19,066 --> 00:27:21,367
-don't turn your back
on this fool.
-[Jerry] Oh, hell no.
691
00:27:21,367 --> 00:27:23,567
You see that still?
Get your hands on it
and get going.
692
00:27:23,567 --> 00:27:25,700
-Don't give him time
to do nothing.
-No.
693
00:27:25,700 --> 00:27:27,900
You know, there's no telling
what this crazy fool may do.
694
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:30,266
I mean,
he's a known drug addict
around the community.
695
00:27:30,266 --> 00:27:32,166
[Jerry] We'll have
this liquor for him.
696
00:27:32,166 --> 00:27:33,367
Be careful.
697
00:27:33,367 --> 00:27:35,266
Don't turn your back
on that damn fool.
698
00:27:35,266 --> 00:27:36,667
Oh, heck no, man.
699
00:27:36,667 --> 00:27:38,667
He's in trouble with the law
all the time, so...
700
00:27:38,667 --> 00:27:39,834
I'm not a cop.
701
00:27:40,867 --> 00:27:42,333
I've never been
in this situation before.
702
00:27:43,567 --> 00:27:45,367
I mean,
this guy may pull a gun,
703
00:27:45,367 --> 00:27:47,467
and if he does, I'm gonna
have to pull mine, too.
704
00:27:47,467 --> 00:27:49,367
But I'm gonna go
put myself in that situation
705
00:27:49,367 --> 00:27:50,767
to be able
to get this still back.
706
00:27:57,567 --> 00:27:58,800
[Joe] The moment of truth.
707
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,567
I'm hoping that these
turn out way better
than the last ones.
708
00:28:01,567 --> 00:28:04,467
We put our
blueberry mojito
frozen cocktail
709
00:28:04,467 --> 00:28:05,767
into the freezer to freeze.
710
00:28:05,767 --> 00:28:07,867
So now,
we're actually
gonna turn that
711
00:28:07,867 --> 00:28:10,266
into our edible cocktail.
712
00:28:10,266 --> 00:28:12,667
-It's warm.
-[Amanda] Grab these pods.
713
00:28:12,667 --> 00:28:15,066
We have left these shine pods
in the freezer long enough
714
00:28:15,066 --> 00:28:17,467
to form
a thick enough membrane.
715
00:28:17,467 --> 00:28:20,767
They already look better.
Blueberry mojito.
716
00:28:20,767 --> 00:28:23,166
Our goal here
is for uniformity
and consistency.
717
00:28:23,166 --> 00:28:24,266
[Joe] Here we go.
718
00:28:24,266 --> 00:28:26,300
If we're gonna
sell these on a large scale,
719
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:28,367
if they're all different
shapes and sizes,
it's just not gonna work.
720
00:28:28,367 --> 00:28:32,300
[Beaz] That already looks
a ton better than what
we were dealing with.
721
00:28:32,300 --> 00:28:34,000
It does. Science.
722
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,100
This is one of the
crucial parts of this.
723
00:28:37,100 --> 00:28:41,166
If the membrane
does not hold together,
we have failed.
724
00:28:41,667 --> 00:28:43,367
That's looking good.
725
00:28:43,367 --> 00:28:45,634
[Joe] I mean,
they're spheres now, guys.
726
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:49,867
-[Amanda]
That looks solid to me.
-[Joe] That is nice.
727
00:28:49,867 --> 00:28:51,867
It's really holding up
on its own
728
00:28:51,867 --> 00:28:54,000
and it makes me really excited
that you can see
729
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,900
all of those
parts and pieces
730
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:58,367
floating inside
of the actual cocktail itself,
731
00:28:58,367 --> 00:29:01,166
which is a part
of the overall appeal of them.
732
00:29:01,166 --> 00:29:04,000
-[Joe] Now...
-[Amanda] The moment of truth.
733
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,100
They do kind of look
like cow's eyeballs.
734
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:08,367
[Joe] Why you gotta say
[bleep] like that, Amanda?
Come on.
735
00:29:08,367 --> 00:29:10,066
[Amanda]
It's where my mind goes,
I can't help it.
736
00:29:10,066 --> 00:29:11,367
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
737
00:29:11,367 --> 00:29:12,967
-Bottoms up.
-Bottoms up.
738
00:29:12,967 --> 00:29:14,233
See where we're at.
739
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,333
Here goes nothing.
740
00:29:23,567 --> 00:29:24,767
[Joe] Yeah?
741
00:29:24,767 --> 00:29:26,000
All right,
that's a "yeah" from me.
742
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,066
That's light years ahead.
743
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:31,667
It's a lot better.
744
00:29:31,667 --> 00:29:33,667
They're a lot more pleasant
with that natural blueberry
745
00:29:33,667 --> 00:29:34,967
and a little bit
of mint leaf in there.
746
00:29:34,967 --> 00:29:36,266
It's a
one-of-a-kind experience
747
00:29:36,266 --> 00:29:37,667
that most people
have not tried.
748
00:29:37,667 --> 00:29:39,166
So on that note,
we've nailed it.
749
00:29:39,166 --> 00:29:42,000
This party planner
will like this.
750
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,800
How many people
are gonna be at this party?
751
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,700
Probably a couple hundred?
I don't know.
752
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:48,667
That's $5.
That's $5. That's $5.
753
00:29:48,667 --> 00:29:50,367
-That's money in the bank.
-[Amanda] Yeah.
754
00:29:50,367 --> 00:29:53,500
One question
is left unanswered.
755
00:29:53,500 --> 00:29:56,333
That's the tough one.
Will Mark and Digger dig it?
756
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,266
That's what we gotta know.
757
00:29:58,266 --> 00:30:01,433
-[Amanda] It's an experience
I'll never forget.
-[Joe laughs]
758
00:30:13,900 --> 00:30:16,767
We're in Canton,
North Carolina,
fixing to meet these guys.
759
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,166
Our still got stolen,
and we're trying
to get it back.
760
00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:24,333
You know, the guy gave us
a place to meet him.
761
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:27,700
Just for the legal parts
of everything,
762
00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:29,400
I want to make sure
that everybody's protected.
763
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,100
So I had the crew put
in some dash cams
on the truck.
764
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:34,066
At this point,
it's just me and Roger.
765
00:30:34,066 --> 00:30:35,667
He ain't really excited
about being on camera,
766
00:30:35,667 --> 00:30:38,333
so we honored that,
kind of keeping Roger
out of the picture.
767
00:30:40,667 --> 00:30:42,634
But here
we're at the meeting spot,
waiting on this guy.
768
00:30:51,767 --> 00:30:53,300
[Jerry] Mm-hmm.
769
00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:56,467
He shows up, he's driving
a little old beat up,
crappy car.
770
00:30:56,467 --> 00:30:59,233
Back window busted out of it.
Sure enough, this is our guy.
771
00:31:03,166 --> 00:31:04,567
[Jerry] So see, right here,
I'm thinking we're going
back here
772
00:31:04,567 --> 00:31:06,467
to these storage buildings.
773
00:31:06,467 --> 00:31:08,667
But lo and behold,
he kind of goes around
the storage buildings
774
00:31:08,667 --> 00:31:10,266
and pulls
into this little trailer.
775
00:31:10,266 --> 00:31:13,467
Dumbfounded me, really,
'cause he kind of more or less
blocked himself in,
776
00:31:13,467 --> 00:31:16,000
so of course, I pull up
right behind him
so he can't get out.
777
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,533
So that still's in the car,
it's coming with us.
778
00:31:25,266 --> 00:31:27,166
Roger's niece
is with this guy.
779
00:31:27,166 --> 00:31:29,500
He's just
really smitten on her.
780
00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:31,033
Evidently, he trusts her.
781
00:31:36,066 --> 00:31:37,567
[Roger] Okay.
782
00:31:40,767 --> 00:31:43,800
[Jerry] So we got out,
ol' Roger gave him
that little jar of liquor
783
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,000
and he smelled it
and he was all just gung ho.
784
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,066
He's getting really excited.
785
00:31:47,066 --> 00:31:49,467
Of course he's ready
to get this thing moving
786
00:31:49,467 --> 00:31:51,166
and get his cash
and get on the road.
787
00:31:51,166 --> 00:31:53,000
So I grabbed the bucket
out of our fake liquor
788
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,867
set it there on the ground,
and he was just all tickled.
789
00:31:54,867 --> 00:31:57,600
He's like,
"Man, let's get this
out of the car." you know?
790
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:58,934
So he opens up the door.
791
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:01,767
Lo and behold.
792
00:32:02,767 --> 00:32:04,433
There's the actual still.
793
00:32:06,100 --> 00:32:09,700
So we start
pulling her out of the car
and he's excited.
794
00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:11,767
Me and Roger,
we haul that damn still
right there.
795
00:32:11,767 --> 00:32:13,166
We take it around to the side
of the truck with it,
796
00:32:13,166 --> 00:32:14,367
and we get in the back
of the truck,
797
00:32:14,367 --> 00:32:15,500
lo and behold, we turn around,
798
00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:17,000
he's coming around the corner
with parts.
799
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,667
He's bringing the parts to us.
800
00:32:18,667 --> 00:32:20,667
He's helping us
load it up on the truck.
801
00:32:20,667 --> 00:32:23,367
He's already counting
his money on his next fix.
802
00:32:23,367 --> 00:32:24,800
So we got it
all loaded and everything.
803
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,567
He's like, "All right, man,
how about that cash?
Where's the cash at?"
804
00:32:26,567 --> 00:32:28,800
I just approached him,
and said, "Look."
805
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,000
I said, "You ain't getting
a [bleep] bit of cash."
806
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,266
I said,
"That's my still that I built.
807
00:32:33,266 --> 00:32:34,667
You ain't getting
none of that."
808
00:32:34,667 --> 00:32:35,967
See, he's getting all antsy.
809
00:32:35,967 --> 00:32:38,567
At this point right here,
I've already got my hand
on my damn gun.
810
00:32:38,567 --> 00:32:39,533
I said,
"You're lucky, you know,
811
00:32:39,533 --> 00:32:41,367
that I don't beat you
to the ground right now."
812
00:32:41,367 --> 00:32:43,000
And oh,
he just went all to hell.
813
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,400
That's when we tell him,
"Don't you pull out a gun."
814
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,567
He says,
"Oh, man, I ain't got no gun!"
He pulls his shirt up.
815
00:32:46,567 --> 00:32:48,166
He says, "I ain't got no gun."
816
00:32:48,166 --> 00:32:50,967
Then I said, "Forget it.
We're getting in the truck
and we're leaving from here."
817
00:32:50,967 --> 00:32:53,166
Roger's niece,
she went and jumped
in my truck.
818
00:32:53,166 --> 00:32:55,166
And I'm thinking,
"Where the hell is she going?"
819
00:32:55,166 --> 00:32:57,233
And that even makes the guy
even more livid.
820
00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:01,967
-Yeah?
-We're grown men.
821
00:33:01,967 --> 00:33:03,266
[Jerry] Come to find out
she's just scared of him.
822
00:33:03,266 --> 00:33:04,500
She just wanted
to get away from him.
823
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:05,333
[man speaking]
824
00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:09,300
[Roger] It's okay.
825
00:33:09,300 --> 00:33:11,567
She's fine.
I promise you she's fine.
826
00:33:11,567 --> 00:33:15,567
You know, this guy
kind of goes, like, speechless
and he gets really erratic,
827
00:33:15,567 --> 00:33:18,367
and he can't even...
he can't even pronounce a word
at this point.
828
00:33:18,367 --> 00:33:19,867
[man stammering]
829
00:33:19,867 --> 00:33:22,200
-[Roger] Man, just stay calm.
-[bleep]
830
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,367
[Roger] Calm down, son.
831
00:33:23,367 --> 00:33:24,300
[Jerry] So then
we just backed up.
832
00:33:24,300 --> 00:33:26,667
He got mad,
he slammed his car door.
833
00:33:26,667 --> 00:33:28,066
[Roger speaking]
834
00:33:28,066 --> 00:33:31,166
[Roger's niece speaking]
835
00:33:31,166 --> 00:33:34,333
At this point, I'm just ready
to get away from him
and let it be.
836
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,667
[Roger's niece speaking]
837
00:33:36,667 --> 00:33:38,433
[Roger speaking]
838
00:33:41,367 --> 00:33:42,867
Next thing I know,
you turn around and look,
839
00:33:45,266 --> 00:33:46,266
he's right behind us.
840
00:33:46,266 --> 00:33:47,367
He's following us.
841
00:33:47,367 --> 00:33:48,800
He's on our tail right now.
842
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,266
You better go home, dude.
843
00:33:50,266 --> 00:33:51,266
[Roger's niece]
He comin' at ya?
844
00:33:51,266 --> 00:33:53,166
[Roger] Oh, yeah.
He's crazy now.
845
00:33:53,166 --> 00:33:55,867
[Jerry] You know, this guy,
he's a known criminal.
He's dangerous.
846
00:33:55,867 --> 00:33:56,867
I mean, he could be armed.
847
00:33:56,867 --> 00:33:59,300
Just depending
on what time of day
I guess it is
848
00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:01,800
and how hopped up
on drugs he is at this point.
849
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,533
-[horn honking]
-[Roger] Watch out.
850
00:34:11,100 --> 00:34:14,300
People that ask
for 140-proof liquor.
851
00:34:14,300 --> 00:34:15,300
That's 'cause
they ain't had it.
852
00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:16,467
They think they want it.
853
00:34:16,467 --> 00:34:18,100
They think they want it
until they get it.
854
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:21,100
You've got a certain amount
of people out there
that wanna say,
855
00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:23,233
"I drink this liquor
all the time."
856
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,767
Dollar won't do chest beating.
857
00:34:26,567 --> 00:34:28,500
"Look at me, I'm drinking
140-proof liquor."
858
00:34:28,500 --> 00:34:29,767
You ain't gonna do it long.
859
00:34:29,767 --> 00:34:31,767
They think it makes their nuts
hang lower.
860
00:34:31,767 --> 00:34:33,367
It did my sister.
861
00:34:37,767 --> 00:34:38,834
He's following us.
862
00:34:39,166 --> 00:34:40,533
[horn honking]
863
00:34:40,900 --> 00:34:42,567
[Roger] Watch out.
864
00:34:42,567 --> 00:34:46,300
-[Roger] Is that a cop?
-[Jerry] Thank God, buddy.
865
00:34:46,300 --> 00:34:48,767
[Roger] Just pull in
right here.
866
00:34:48,767 --> 00:34:50,667
Now, this guy's got
a lot of road rage with us,
867
00:34:50,667 --> 00:34:52,500
and the law
actually seen that.
868
00:34:52,500 --> 00:34:54,400
[Roger] Yeah, he just
turned around up
toward that road.
869
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,266
[Roger's niece]
That's where he lives at.
870
00:34:56,266 --> 00:34:57,834
-Right up there?
-[Roger's niece] Yeah.
871
00:35:00,867 --> 00:35:02,467
Did y'all see
that silver car that went by?
872
00:35:02,467 --> 00:35:04,567
He was chasing us
through town.
873
00:35:04,567 --> 00:35:07,066
Just right up here,
this next drive
he turned in to the right.
874
00:35:07,066 --> 00:35:08,233
All right.
875
00:35:10,467 --> 00:35:12,767
[Roger] Hell, he's got
warrants on him. Hell.
876
00:35:15,166 --> 00:35:17,567
[Mike] What the hell is
taking them so long, man?
877
00:35:17,567 --> 00:35:18,533
[Richard] It's nerve-racking.
878
00:35:18,533 --> 00:35:21,000
Jerry's dealing with a thug
that stole from us.
879
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,066
I'm hoping and praying
Jerry comes back
with the still unscathed.
880
00:35:25,066 --> 00:35:28,166
-A crackhead will do
anything for a fix.
-I'mma tell you what.
881
00:35:28,166 --> 00:35:30,266
[Mike] By now, he could have
damn Jerry tied up
882
00:35:30,266 --> 00:35:31,667
to a log or something
up there.
883
00:35:35,500 --> 00:35:36,567
[horn honking]
884
00:35:36,567 --> 00:35:37,867
That sounds like Jerry.
885
00:35:41,266 --> 00:35:42,767
Oh he's got
the still on the truck.
886
00:35:42,767 --> 00:35:44,467
Come on back, Jerry!
887
00:35:44,467 --> 00:35:46,100
Jerry pulls up,
he blows the horn,
888
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:47,767
that still is on the back
of the truck.
889
00:35:47,767 --> 00:35:49,700
Jerry's here,
he's in one piece,
890
00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:51,166
and that's all that matters.
891
00:35:51,166 --> 00:35:52,500
Baby.
892
00:35:52,500 --> 00:35:55,100
Yes! Got her back, son.
893
00:35:55,100 --> 00:35:57,900
I don't know how
Jerry and Roger
pulled this off
894
00:35:57,900 --> 00:35:58,967
without getting into it.
895
00:35:58,967 --> 00:36:02,467
But, hey,
whatever they done,
my hat's off to them.
896
00:36:02,467 --> 00:36:04,567
Man, what the heck
went on over there?
897
00:36:04,567 --> 00:36:07,266
I'm gonna tell you what.
You wouldn't believe it
if I told you the story.
898
00:36:07,266 --> 00:36:08,967
I mean it's...
I couldn't make this stuff up.
899
00:36:08,967 --> 00:36:10,066
We got the still back,
900
00:36:10,066 --> 00:36:11,867
the guy decided
to chase us down the road.
901
00:36:11,867 --> 00:36:13,266
Now I didn't know
if I had to start shooting
at him
902
00:36:13,266 --> 00:36:14,767
or to start trying
to run him off the road.
903
00:36:14,767 --> 00:36:16,900
-I didn't know
what the heck to do.
-[Mike] Oh, my God.
904
00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:18,667
So luckily,
he tried running us
off the road,
905
00:36:18,667 --> 00:36:21,100
-and he'd done it
right in front of a cop.
--[Mike] Oh, my God.
906
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:23,367
I mean,
one of Haywood's finest,
he seen it,
907
00:36:23,367 --> 00:36:26,367
went after it,
and nailed his ass right there
on the side of the road.
908
00:36:26,367 --> 00:36:28,000
There ain't tellin'
when he's liable to get out.
909
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,367
I actually heard he had
a lot of priors,
910
00:36:30,367 --> 00:36:31,567
so he may never
get out of jail.
911
00:36:31,567 --> 00:36:34,000
Man, when you're dealing
with idiots like that,
you never know.
912
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,100
I'm just glad to see you
back here in one damn piece.
913
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:39,500
So with the charges he had
and the new charges
he's got coming,
914
00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:41,500
he's headed to prison
for a long time.
915
00:36:41,500 --> 00:36:44,066
And hopefully for him,
he can actually rehab hisself.
916
00:36:44,066 --> 00:36:46,166
We're back in business now,
so let's check this still out,
917
00:36:46,166 --> 00:36:47,367
see if it got damaged
in any way,
918
00:36:47,367 --> 00:36:48,900
see if we can
do any repairs to it.
919
00:36:48,900 --> 00:36:50,266
That way we can
get it back to the woods.
920
00:36:50,266 --> 00:36:52,667
[Mike] Finish our season out
with a bang, put some money
in our pocket
921
00:36:52,667 --> 00:36:54,367
and live to shine another day.
922
00:37:00,767 --> 00:37:04,000
Mm-hmm, okay,
a little nature ride.
923
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,367
We finally got this
Prohibition-style liquor
924
00:37:06,367 --> 00:37:08,166
made out of this
Hot Springs water.
925
00:37:08,166 --> 00:37:09,867
We go up and we see Gooney,
926
00:37:09,867 --> 00:37:11,667
and sure enough,
man, he just shuts us down.
927
00:37:11,667 --> 00:37:13,867
He don't even really
give us a chance
to even sell it to him.
928
00:37:13,867 --> 00:37:16,900
Just like I thought,
Gooney's left me a message
on my phone
929
00:37:16,900 --> 00:37:18,166
and told me to come
to the trail ride.
930
00:37:18,166 --> 00:37:20,200
He's got some
good news for me.
931
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,533
-What the hell?
-Ready to get
your groove on, Joe Boy?
932
00:37:27,266 --> 00:37:29,367
This is what they call
a trail ride right here.
933
00:37:29,367 --> 00:37:31,066
They race the horses
through the day,
934
00:37:31,066 --> 00:37:33,000
and then they have
a big old party at night.
935
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,900
And this is where they
sell all the liquor.
936
00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:38,200
Go here, see if we can't
round up Gooney.
937
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,867
I know the game
he's about to play.
938
00:37:39,867 --> 00:37:41,767
He's gonna take us out here
and show us the playing field
939
00:37:41,767 --> 00:37:44,367
and start talking
his volume conversation
with us.
940
00:37:44,367 --> 00:37:47,333
He knows if he could buy
a whole lot at once,
he can reduce the price down.
941
00:37:48,066 --> 00:37:50,867
-What's up, Big Hoss?
-Gooney Shakur.
942
00:37:50,867 --> 00:37:52,100
What's up, baby?
943
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:54,500
But little does he know
I'm okay with that.
944
00:37:54,500 --> 00:37:57,900
Because if he's buying volume,
that means we're selling
more liquor.
945
00:37:57,900 --> 00:38:01,300
And hey, I'd rather make
a little of a lot
than a lot of a little.
946
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:03,266
I know it was kind of
crazy last time,
947
00:38:03,266 --> 00:38:06,367
-but what y'all brought me
last time to the studio?
-[Big Chuk] Mm-hmm.
948
00:38:06,367 --> 00:38:07,767
I need that, man.
949
00:38:07,767 --> 00:38:10,066
All these people out here?
Come on, man.
950
00:38:10,066 --> 00:38:12,567
But that price y'all gave me
really was some bull [bleep].
951
00:38:12,567 --> 00:38:13,900
I can't really do
nothing with that.
952
00:38:13,900 --> 00:38:15,867
$110 a gallon?
953
00:38:15,867 --> 00:38:17,567
No. No.
954
00:38:17,567 --> 00:38:19,667
Come on, man, have y'all sold
with all these people
out here?
955
00:38:19,667 --> 00:38:21,500
[Big Chuk] No, man.
All this running around--
956
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:23,567
Every two weeks,
it's going down.
957
00:38:23,567 --> 00:38:25,567
-Every two weeks?
-You see it.
958
00:38:25,567 --> 00:38:28,767
And 15 gallons will be enough
for every two weeks?
959
00:38:28,767 --> 00:38:31,266
Seeing is believing. You here.
960
00:38:31,266 --> 00:38:34,867
Let's talk business, then.
Let's see wholesale.
961
00:38:34,867 --> 00:38:38,667
15 gallons. $120.
Every two weeks.
962
00:38:38,667 --> 00:38:40,567
I can do that.
963
00:38:40,567 --> 00:38:42,100
Y'all got some today?
964
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:43,767
We can get it,
we'll bring it right back.
965
00:38:43,767 --> 00:38:45,166
All right.
966
00:38:45,166 --> 00:38:46,767
We've developed
a business now.
967
00:38:46,767 --> 00:38:48,266
We've got a continuum.
968
00:38:48,266 --> 00:38:50,667
We can deliver 15 gallons
of moonshine to him,
969
00:38:50,667 --> 00:38:52,467
cash in fist.
970
00:38:52,467 --> 00:38:54,634
And one thing I know
is slow motion is better
than no motion.
971
00:38:54,967 --> 00:38:55,900
Let's go, baby.
972
00:38:55,900 --> 00:38:57,100
[hip-hop playing]
973
00:39:05,567 --> 00:39:07,967
[Mike] Let's go see
what the others
have got going on.
974
00:39:07,967 --> 00:39:11,166
Beaz reaches out and tells us
they've got something
to look at
975
00:39:11,166 --> 00:39:16,367
in the way of our interactive
cocktail/shine pod.
976
00:39:16,367 --> 00:39:17,667
Ladies and gentlemen.
977
00:39:17,667 --> 00:39:21,100
Welcome to your
fine dining experience.
978
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:22,867
[Amanda] I know Joe and Beaz
are super excited,
979
00:39:22,867 --> 00:39:24,700
and I'm happy
that they're happy about it.
980
00:39:24,700 --> 00:39:26,667
But I really don't know
what Mark and Digger
are gonna say.
981
00:39:26,667 --> 00:39:27,934
Gotta explain real quick.
982
00:39:27,934 --> 00:39:33,467
We made a pivot.
We dropped the idea
of the dissolvable liquor pod,
983
00:39:33,467 --> 00:39:38,300
and we have come up
with an edible cocktail.
984
00:39:38,300 --> 00:39:40,467
I kind of made
a blueberry mojito.
985
00:39:40,467 --> 00:39:43,266
You know,
we garnish it on the inside,
make it look pretty.
986
00:39:43,266 --> 00:39:44,900
-Yeah.
-I mean,
look at that little rascal.
987
00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:46,667
Look at the little blueberry
moving around in there.
988
00:39:46,667 --> 00:39:48,700
-It's just swimming around
like a little tadpole.
-Right.
989
00:39:48,700 --> 00:39:51,100
It could be little pieces
of strawberry.
990
00:39:51,100 --> 00:39:52,166
It could be peach.
991
00:39:52,166 --> 00:39:54,300
You just changed
the delivery system.
992
00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:57,567
Can we have enough
of these done for the party?
993
00:39:57,567 --> 00:40:00,467
-One person can make
60 of them in an hour.
-[Mark] That's outstanding.
994
00:40:00,467 --> 00:40:03,066
We wasn't even sure
it could be done.
995
00:40:03,066 --> 00:40:06,467
So now we need you guys
to taste this.
996
00:40:07,967 --> 00:40:09,233
-[Mark] All right, guys.
-[Digger] Here we go.
997
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:19,767
Wow.
998
00:40:21,300 --> 00:40:23,433
Outstanding, guys!
999
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,266
There ain't a thing
in there unpleasant.
1000
00:40:27,266 --> 00:40:28,700
That cocktail is wonderful,
1001
00:40:28,700 --> 00:40:30,266
that blueberry
is right up front,
1002
00:40:30,266 --> 00:40:31,834
and that little mint
hanging out...
1003
00:40:32,700 --> 00:40:34,867
God bless America.
1004
00:40:34,867 --> 00:40:36,533
This is a game changer.
1005
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,500
I'm hooked on these already.
1006
00:40:39,500 --> 00:40:41,900
I love the idea
of having some
in the refrigerator
1007
00:40:41,900 --> 00:40:44,100
and just pull them out
and let people reach in
1008
00:40:44,100 --> 00:40:47,100
with a little plastic pair
of tongs or a spoon
and give 'em a cocktail
1009
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:47,834
and go eat it.
1010
00:40:47,834 --> 00:40:50,400
It's just a joy to...
to chew up.
1011
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,767
That's exactly how I wanted
that cocktail to go.
1012
00:40:52,767 --> 00:40:54,166
Outstanding.
1013
00:40:54,166 --> 00:40:58,266
I think that it'll spread
way beyond this cat
that he's going to sell to
1014
00:40:58,266 --> 00:41:01,066
and I look forward
to making a lot of these.
1015
00:41:01,066 --> 00:41:03,266
I can't tell you enough
how happy I am
with what y'all did.
1016
00:41:03,266 --> 00:41:04,200
[Joe] Good.
1017
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,166
You've made me proud
to be making liquor again.
1018
00:41:06,667 --> 00:41:08,000
[Beaz] They love it!
1019
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,600
It's a weight released
off the three of us.
1020
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,200
Outstanding job.
1021
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,800
You know,
this is the first time I guess
I've ever ate a cocktail.
1022
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,767
It's a delicious cocktail,
but most importantly,
1023
00:41:19,767 --> 00:41:24,100
it's $425
in one gallon of liquor.
1024
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:26,667
Can you believe the money
we're gonna make off of that?
1025
00:41:26,667 --> 00:41:27,834
[Mark] It was good.
1026
00:41:28,300 --> 00:41:29,467
[Digger] It's beyond good.
