suttons grand son was actually my history teacher, his name is Jesse Sutton. He taught American history in Florida. Honestly one of the best teachers ive ever had.
Thats amazing
@Oh yeah yeah pull your head out of your rump. You don't know this person so you have been a jerk to just about everybody. Just leave people alone you jerk.
@@annemchurchwell nah its definitely bull shit stfu Anne
Chance Carroll lucky
Did ya ever buy some shine from him
I support this. This is their heritage. Their culture. Who they are. I love what his head stone says. Couldnt agree more. RIP Popcorn Sutton. His legacy will live on like he said.
Wish I could get ahold of a jar of that moon shine.
@@gavinpickens73 in Missouri at one of the Liquor store they were selling a supposedly legal version. .it was different from the other alcohol. .but it disappeared so maybe they thought it was too much of the real MOONSHINE. .THAT WAS TWO YEARS AGO AND I HAVE NOT SEEN IT SINCE
good for you supporting someone else's way of life. what would they be without it 👏👏👏👏👏
I like his style. Rip Popcorn. I agree with you
Started shining bc of popcorn and the boys
Very proud
The fact they drove a poor near crippled old man to suicide over some home made shine is beyond disgusting yet if he'd stolen that liquor in a smash and grab today he'd probably not even get charged just an all round tragic story
RIP Popcorn Sutton
True but he also had terminal cancer so why suffer needlessly
That's because there's no heavy taxes on thieves, there are on distillers. The only people the government truly punish are those that hurt their tax income
The government is a tax whore
Government is nothing but thieves
Lol that poor crippled old man wasn't making liquor as a hobby just for himself and friends. He was selling it for profit and money. It's silly to act like he did nothing wrong like the law was wrong for arresting him and sentencing him lol.
If he was only distilling liquor for himself and his family I would agree with you but the guy was profiting and making money. The whole "it's my heritage" stuff goes out the window once you're doing it for profit. He was making thousands of dollars in unreported revenue over YEARS. And we're supposed to feel bad? If any of us did that doing something else we'd be in the slammer and you would tell us we deserved it.
JB showed true, raw emotions towards how he felt about Popcorn Sutton. He truly was his best friend and i like seeing how much Popcorn meant to JB and undoubtedly how Popcorn felt about JB.
JB was Popcorn's partner and it was those dumb ABC agents who shake down and murder moonshiners that drove Popcorn to the brink and he killed himself. It was all over untaxed liquor.
Popcorn said F&%@ you" best this to put on a grave stone.
was the t&%@ blurred for the video or did some lowlife marr the head stone
undertaker666dead nope, he said fuck you on his headstone... enough of this PC censorship crap.
cdawson198600 popcorn went out like a man . U dont see that anymore
Rodney Dangerfield's gravestone is pretty awesome too, his says "There Goes The Neighborhood"
It's actually on his footstone. Popcorn had it made years ago specifically for his grave when he died. Pretty sure you can see it in his & JB's movie "The last damn run of likker I'll ever make".
These moonshiners are a part of American culture and history. These men should be protected as if they were an endangered species
Nolan Cruz Smith humans are not endangered
he said....as if they were...not they are
EC Fishing shut up sarcastic ass Moon shining is part of American history he was saying we put it history books and protect this tradition
EC Fishing punk bitch
Matt Banks no but old school moon shiner's are.
6:08 that got me good. He nods his head when asked, "You alright?, buddy" , but immediately shakes his head after. Almost childlike. a pure emotion.
Oof that hurt
Yes, we all watched it
I was lucky enough to meet popcorn. He was a really nice and genuine person. RIP old buddy
RIP he wasn't saved he's in Hell. The bible is very clear you must be born again. John 3:3 and John 14:6 and many more. Sorry Steve but that's God's way. Jesus Christ died for Popcorn just like you and me but you have to Repent and put your trust in Jesus Christ only. Love you son

@@coleelliott7026 One day very soon death will come for you very soon. You will see then. Good luck
For folks who dont know popcorn Sutton, he is literally a legend of the moonshine business. He was beyond a legend. Never had to pay for a dinner. The local cops loved him. Sad ending. Hank Williams bought his recipe rights to The moonshine
Hank Williams Junior? the Singer?
Yup
At first I thought he was talking about Hank Senior.
Ryan it was bocephus who bought it! Don't be lying to folks
@@johndowlingjr. John no disrespect but Hank died in 1953
" I tell ya' what, me and old Digger'll knock down a few of these weeds, and then we'll have a drink with the old man. " Bless them. You will not find any better people than mountain people, for sure and certain.
Your right,i live among mountain people like this
jade fire Agreed, they haven't been corrupted by city life or corporate life.
Glad I have mountain blood in my veins. Might have moved away from the Appalachian mountains but it's still strong in me. RIP popcorn
I tell you what. Mark & Digger sure seem like two straight up fellas to me. 2 of my favorites on the show.
Made me tear up a lil
Loved visiting Popcorn on my trips through Maggie Valley. When I seen his crazy signs, I knew he was doing time. Loved walking through his shack, and getting his boiled peanuts. He was a character....
This is like watching the pages of an American history book. The tears running down my face is so appreciated. Thank you men for being yourselves! R.I.P America
RIP he wasn't saved he's in Hell. The bible is very clear you must be born again. John 3:3 and John 14:6 and many more. Sorry Erland but that's God's way. Jesus Christ died for Popcorn just like you and me but you have to Repent and put your trust in Jesus Christ only. Love you son
@Chris Sorry son. God is very clear who goes to Hell and who goes to Heaven. hope you repent and put your trust in Jesus Christ. Is making crack cocaine ok too, I don't think so. You must be born again to enter in Heaven.

One day very soon you will see.@@osciisnow
I’m being honest here: I’ve honestly never heard a single person take the IRS’ side during the Federal raid on Popcorn. To call Popcorn (or men like him) “criminals” is asinine to me.
*ATF
@Chef San It was the IRS who caught on to Popcorn’s undocumented wealth and then initiated the raid USING the ATF; Do the research next time before you respond and maybe you won’t look so pompous
@@joejones8776 don't know how that was pompous but alright
@Chef Sean You took the time post because you thought you were correcting someone that didn’t need correcting, in other words: you thought you knew something that you did not.
@@joejones8776 they said ATF in the video, and it was an ATF raid. I just thought your got your federal agencies messed up. My bad. Still don't think it was pompous tho, not everything is as cynical as you think
They'll never be another Popcorn Sutton the man was a LEGEND!! His legend will never die in Appalachia!!! His story will live on forever
Phil Wheeler his grandson was my history teacher.
I met those three guys in Tennessee in 2019. I talked with JB for a few minutes and he was really awesome. I got a picture with him,and he gave me and my girl a little mini jar with some fire water in it.
That was damn touching. Messed with me a little bit to see old JB crying for his friend. They must’ve been absolute best buddies; A whole lot more than just fellow moonshiners. Bet he missed him like crazy.
You know what, sometimes the government just need to look the other way. It’s not hurting anyone so leave it alone. I’m gonna run some popcorn shine though my still here in the uk as a tribute. Stitch that
No government should not look the other way, they have to make private production legal!
Letting already filthy rich companies capitalize on alcohol is not the solution.
Either way keep calm and still on.
That should just show us that its not about right or wrong. Its about money and control. It doesn't matter if you're committing a victimless crime. You're getting your money independently without being forced into this slave system.
Freedom? You honestly think we're free? I can walk into the woods and live off the land right now. I've tried. Even on public land your trespassing or " illegally camping ". We're backed up into a corner and forced to be a member of this society. This cult in my opinion. In this cult you have to " work " to survive. If we dont have the choice for our work to be own survival, living off the land, we're slaves that can pick our jobs. The only way you can live like that is if you bought your freedom. Which would take most their whole life time, plus a generation or two, to be able to afford. Property tax, the guise of keeping us safe. It's all used to keep us controlled, Keep us dependent on government that we get the illusion of thinking has our best interest at heart. Were manipulated, lied to, even killed to keep this system in place. Our democracy is a farce, we have no say. We can make suggestions that's it. I'm praying for us, but the occupying force isn't an army we can see anymore. Like the bible said " we war with principles " today. Its the royals and the serfs except globally now... We rebelled when we saw and knew we were being taken advantage of. This was their solution to that. They get most to label this crazy conspiracy theories so they discredit it before even looking into it. I'm not talking lizard men here. We got it good in america, even if were poor. But those opportunities come at the expense of the areas that are struggling. And were powerless to even help those areas struggling. We can only help those areas struggling if it doesn't take away from the powers that be. True agendas are hidden, but the paths to those agendas are wrapped up and fed to the public in a way that makes them seem beneficial, logical ,or heroic. Our cops take an oath to uphold the constitution yet they'll stomp on it when their higher ups tell them to. The cops of today, work for them, not us. Things jut keep getting worse and worse too. You can see the divide and conquer agenda they'd pushing
They about to turn everyone anti government into " the domestic terrorist " so we'll all be pointing the fingers at each other. They'll then leverage that fear to have us give over more of our rights. Rinse and repeat, its what they do. And most people eat it up because the nail that sticks out gets hammered. The media brainwashing people to the left. And you either agree or you're a racist. Both sides have vilified each other. The right isn't equally represented because they want small government. Can't have us all wanting that. But its two wings of the same decrepit bird. Dive and conquer. Propaganda, subversion, manipulation. Idk what we do about it, when we can't see the general calling the shots. In the past we've stropped this by banning together,starting militias and taking back what's ours. Thats what the second amendment is about. The poets that be want a civil war and that shouldn't be an option for us. They thrive off of create the problem be the solution. They want that new civil war and are doing everything in their power to start it, so once we fight and the smoke clears they can appear to be our saving grace.
@Tyler Cash You clearly are. Go abuse some cough syrup.
you can get a basic stilling license. (home use) but you have to jump through some Major hoops man. like for instance.. here in NY, The Alcohol and tobacco, tax and trade Bureau (TTB) will need a review of: the principals’ tax history, criminal records, architectural drawings of the building, a lease copy, a bond/surety to cover estimated excise tax liability, And a review the equipment intended for use. And at the same time, the NY State And Liquor Authority (SLA) requires: an extensive review of the proposed distillery including but not limited to a background check, financial review of the owners and principals, review of the finances for the distillery, and finger printing. to make things even crazier, some zones require landlords aprovals and copies of the lease/rental agreements. Made it through all that? Congrats! you can legally produce your own liquor! ( But you still cant sell it yet). you need to jump through more hoops to get a selling permit. hopes this helps for those who want to start a business but is worried about the law enforcements. :)
I was born and raised in Tennessee and all my family before me. I’m proud to call myself a Tennessean. We love our mountains and woods. And we love moonshine. Rip popcorn.
Amen to that.
Damn straight
Amen and respect from NE Okla
when did people from tennese start themselves Tennessean same thing with people from arizona calling ourselfs arizonians

It’s honestly so heart warming to see the way JB takes his hat of when he gets to Popcorns grave just to show him that respect is still there, rip Popcorn Sutton 💙

Also, you really think the FBI is going to even look at whatever you "claim" you sent them? They're busy taking out drug cartels and terrorists, they dont care about what some "meaniehead" said to you on youtube you absolute fucking waste of oxygen. Go apologize to the trees for being a complete and utter waste of resources.
@@SilencedHalo Warden you really have got to use that small brain of yours's. I reported you to the FBI dumb dumb. Like I said Hell is where popcorn is and you too if you don't repent and put your trust in Jesus Christ's son. Good luck son.
We just watched him today, he sure is a legend. We're from Pennsylvania but our ancestors had there heyday also. Love how you all are family, no matter what. God bless you all.
Stupid IRS! Couldn't leave an old mountain man alone
R.I.P popcorn!
Brannon Pardue ATF*
its all over tax. With each sip from "illegal" likker, is a penny less in the pocket of the irs (theirs)
Brannon Pardue so true man RIP POPCORN everybody wants to be a hero
No but Al Sharpton got millions forgiven by Obama
watching this, i popped a bottle my pop made before he died. he kept 4 bottles for 4 different occasions 1 for a salute to a old shiner. 1 for his death 1 for my grandma. and one to bury his him with. i got 1 bottle besides the one currently opened on my desk.. that bottle reads to my love. hazel.
Rip popcorn what a badass
Yeah he sucked on a tailpipe like a boss.

JB's reaction was.... as I expected. It looks broken, but im sure it's alright.. they know life better than most of us anyways. I got some tears when he stopped digger from closing the jar and wanting another sip.
RIP Popcorn, so sad to hear. Blessings to all you country folk from London, England.
@sergej 88 thanks bud, you too 👍🏻

"If that's empty when I come back I don't know if I'll be paying you another visit or not" laughed while crying! 😭
It's a damn shame that Popcorn took his life because of the Federal government government . But I'll tell you this much Popcorn sure lived a mountain man's life ! Rest in peace popcorn!
Isaiah 48:22 there is no peace for the wicked
Greg Schlegel who are you to judge whether he was wicked or not ? It’s funny people wanna use scripture but God also tells us Matthew 7:1-5 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.”
Boogaloo Boi so what are your saying this man is a “born again moonshiner”? Get real
Killakidc C-c enterprises Jesus said if you don’t repent you’ll likewise perish
Greg Schlegel No I’m saying you using scripture and judging him based on his life is bullshit it makes you a hypocrite. I’m simply stating god says not to judge your brother or fellow man.
JB Rader is awesome and so was Popcorn. Both were and will forever be legends.
This is the ATF's big bust? a lonely mountain man? pathetic.
What you except him to be some kind of billionaire or something?
@@user-cv3dr4kt7j I was thinking the ATF's biggest bust would be some cartel or something.
@@PirateCat822 who said it was the ATF’s biggest bust? Lol

Can't agree more. I'm normally not sentimental about much but seeing these three men show the respect they did brought a small tear to my eye.
They were probably like brothers
@@jesseblackhawk they were brothers
Much respect and love was shown here that was amazing and ole JB was crying real tears.
MultiRavenMaster so edgy but yet so funny

What did he put
Tears come to my eyes I watched y'all long time keep his name going he was well worth it bless u all
This is so wholesome. These are just men making their way in this cursed world
Rip popcorn
He's shining in the sky's now
Alex White he's making moon shine in heaven
Damn right
He killed himself hes more likely laying in a burning sea of moonshine
Alex White hes not in the sky? He is in hell. Suicide is the unforgivable sin. Dammed to hell for eternity
Fuck You Feds !!!!!
Respect to Popcorn from halfway around the world. He was sumthin truly special. They should have shown some dam respect an left him the hell alone. “Slàinte mhath” 🥃🏴
Most of the Mountain people ancestors are Scottish. .Irish. .German. .Native American Indian/Cherokee/and trail of tears. .we and they just carried out our ancestors liquor making skills. .
This is fucked innit we have issues getting good potchine here in England my grandad had a few mates back in Dublin amd we had it in big even bottles I never forget summer 03 I was playing ran in and skilled a big swig of it I thought I'd drank pure evil lol my grandad was belly laughing amd I got a good buzz on lol first time I got drunk was of fkin potato moonshine with a 80yo man from Belfast we take a lot amd u guys up in Scotland definitely take a fk load of the government but its still legal to do for your own consumption says a lot I think 🤔
Ol' JB brought a tear to my eye. This right here, is what life is about. Memories of a mentor, friend, or family member are bittersweet. The sadness is visceral as is the happiness in remembering the good times. RIP Popcorn & Cheers to JB, Mark and Digger.
No one else noticed that big ass guzzle ol JB took when he toasted to popcorn. That’s a true American legend right there, through and through.
I'm not a moonshiner, but I'll always respect you for the man you were. If what you do to put food on your family table isn't hurting anyone, or taking food out of another families mouth, it shouldn't be illegal. To support his family and pursue a passion passed on by his ancestors Popcorn had to branded a criminal in the eyes of the law. It comes down to that expression" the only thing certain in life is Death and Taxes" Moonshinning is illegal because ole uncle sam cant pinch his greedy portion and that's bullshit in my opinion. You should be able distill your own liquor ( hell even sell it if you want )without breaking the law. Through the guise of safety they can make anything illegal
Rest in Peace Popcorn, can't wait to meet you one day.
Troy Russell it’s only illegal because the gov wasn’t in his pocket
Its illegal because people profit more than the goverment from moonshine
@@miguelchacon2717 have you ever seen someone drink rot gut liquor. Maybe u should try it. It might change your view of illegal liquor.
@@brianburgess5239 Anyone who sells garbage product isn't a real shiner, they're a crook through and through.
@@shadowtheimpure that's right. But doesn't change the fact ur ass gonna be laying in a hospital bed. B/c there's nobody holding illegal shiners accountable. That was my point.
As a 43 year old I see what my government has done, it's sad there are so many people that will never understand what is really going on...
Imagine how you feel today?
@@eriklarson9137 ikr?
Has done?? It’s still doing the bs 🤬 our Constitutional Republic is for us to stand on as government was never intended to be this big
Everyone understands what’s goin on the problem is these city scumbags don’t care. Live free my southern brothers fight to the death if need be.
No gas here in NC for two days now, things are only going to get worse
These men, JB and Popcorn were both national treasures. Our proud heritage. Respect and admiration.
I'm sure what they got him for was probably his retirement stash. The government gets plenty of our money. Leave an old man like that alone.
Met the man once. Good guy. Moved to tears on this one.
I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS OLE' BOY POPCORN SUTTON!!!
I'M SO GLAD THAT HIS STORY WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME!!! ⚡
I love that defiant old man, wish I could have met him
wow JB has aged a lot.
From what I watched/read, he had a lot of surgeries and medical procedures done. That can really take a lot out of a guy.
Sometimes i forget its been 15 years since i saw that original video... You straight up mistake JB for Popcorn these days.
CriticoolHit I hear ya there
thats what happens when you drink gut rot moonshine popcorn knew he was dying so he said fuck it rather than die in jail he knew he was fucked so went out defiant to the end fuckin legend
I pretty sure he was ill with cancer at some point not to far before the filming of this.
Popcorn was a true hillbilly outlaw R.I.P. moonshiner
What I want to know is how tf the discovery channel hasn’t been raided yet.
Glad to see them keeping the tradition alive. RIP popcorn
RIP he wasn't saved he's in Hell. The bible is very clear you must be born again. John 3:3 and John 14:6 and many more. Sorry Barry but that's God's way. Jesus Christ died for Popcorn just like you and me but you have to Repent and put your trust in Jesus Christ only. Love you son
Please stop. You not only do not know the bible or the gospel. You sound like one of jobs supposed friends.
You have no idea how you become a stumbling block to the gospel with your condemnation. Your faults and sins aren't known. If you know one tiny fraction of gospel then you know very well the story of the thief. You don't know what the man prayed. So just stop being one of the absolute worst examples of Christian I've yet to witness.
If the man had faith, he was saved. So I don't know what ritual and traditions you think give you some lofty sense of condemnation_ but the bible does not. If you cannot witness within context and comfort with God's words_ you need to study more. Because unless you were with the man on his last breath__ or reading his mind. You have no clue. And here is some biblical wisdom__ you job as Christ's ambassador is to witness (his) truth. It's not Scripture knowledge we have to stab and stone with. That's not the holy spirits work.
Popcorn would be proud that his tradition is still alive
"keep yore damass out"
And?
Watching the doc rn. Love that sign
After watching several hours today of his interviews up until the day before he checked out, I feel as though I lost a distant Uncle and Friend. Rest in peace Popcorn, sorry you had such a tough life, and glad near the end people started to appreciate what you've given to our history. Hopefully your next life will be easier and you will never be forgotten.
RIP he wasn't saved he's in Hell. The bible is very clear you must be born again. John 3:3 and John 14:6 and many more. Sorry Whispers but that's God's way. Jesus Christ died for Popcorn just like you and me but you have to Repent and put your trust in Jesus Christ only. Love you son

On a popcorn binge. Just watched the Johnny Knoxville bit. Never knew he took his own life instead of going to prison before this vid. Makes me sad. Damn legend
My uncle lived in Graham Co., N.C and I think was a friend of Popcorn. My uncle was Clay Carpenter he also was a Moonshiner too.
When I was a kid I may have seen him with my Uncle Clay.
RIP old man,your legacy will live on with us forever,long after those IRS shitters are long gone. They should of just left him alone, in the grand old scheme of things he was hardly a threat to anybody?
Daggone money-hungry government. All they care about is the big whiskey makers that have factories.
So glad I share my birthday with popcorn. What a man.

Today is mr.suttons birthday. Oct.5. I found this fellas story and was mesmerized. What a cool dude. Happy Birthday moonshiner☘️
These moonshiners are part of our history & heritage, And should be protected as such .
My great uncle was a one armed moonshiner. He was a terror when it came to the law coming for him or family. Hell, or anyone else who thought they could take from him for that matter. We need more men with that kind of warm blooded fire in them.
STS9 fan?
Real respect. Proud people!
I live in stone's throw away from Newport I live in Hamilton county Tennessee and when I see these men pay respects to their best friends and elders it warms the heart
We all miss ya popcorn, rip. Why couldn't they leave ya alone. Your leagacy will live on.

Cheers to .... Popcorn ! 🥃
My hobby specialty.
Popcorn is a legend, sure what he did was illegal but the way he did..... it was badass,
4 legends. RIP Popcorn 🙌
My grandpa, born 1888, used to hide liquor in his barn for Al Capone during the Prohibition days./ Northumberland Strait. Then they'd pick up the Likker in Model Ts and bring it back to the States. They usually did this at night. They'd put wood in the middle of the roads and light it on fire, so no 1 would go by/ drive down the roads while the Model Ts were being loaded. True story. - In a way, Mr. Popcorn Sutton reminds me of my grandpa and the olden ways. The good old days, as we/ Popcorn Sutton would say... - Cheers Popcorn. This 1's for you -
that is an awesome history you have there . don't be afraid to share it. . it is our American history!! .
My great grandmother used to sell corn whiskey during prohibition . . And it wasn't even a lot. she bought a couple gallons a month straight from the moonshiners down south(about a 3 hour drive), and she would bring it up home to the city to sell.
She broke it down to pint bottles and even half pints(I guess for medicine tinctures and things). .
She didn't cut it or nothing. but the mark up was just enough, that she would easily double hers and my great grandfathers monthly salary. . pretty cool when I learn my GGMA was selling Shine. . lol
peace, Eric
Say what you will about Capone BUT at least he did most of his own dirty work. Those bitched up Kennedy boys needed others to do it for them.
There will never be another Popcorn Sutton. RIP POPCORN. You are truely missed!
RIP he wasn't saved he's in Hell. The bible is very clear you must be born again. John 3:3 and John 14:6 and many more. Sorry Jason but that's God's way. Jesus Christ died for Popcorn just like you and me but you have to Repent and put your trust in Jesus Christ only. Love you son
Awwww this was amazing
The way he smirks after taking a sip. It’s like he’s drinking his own history
