I believe Mark and Digger are my two favorite characters in this series. I never hear them complain about each other - they work seamlessly. They're charitable to others in need and they're experts in their craft. Who could complain about anything?
@@reallyriley123 Mark and digger are the best I wish I could learn from them, but Tim's cool bro he seems like he came from money but he seems like a good dude
@@ajfromcjbasements6574 nah tim is one of the few who has verified credentials going back two generations of moonshiners. He's just the first to go legal.
@@compsigh9275 you do know that badly distilled spirits literally can kill you and that it's not only about lost tax money but also about protecting people from bad moonshine that kills them? but that's beside the point as you can still use murder as a comparison as it still fits. crime is still crime and murder is a great example of how ''they have to catch you in the act'' ain't how crime works.
This can't be real. I've been a cop for eleven years. If I saw someone making moonshine I'd want to know how it's made out of curiosity and give them a department patch and tell them to have a good day and don't catch anything on fire with that high proof heaven. Lmao.
Its exaggerated to fuck. i make a few gallons every week or 2 for personal consumption and its perfectly legal. I could sell it in my state with just a liquor license.
Its better than anything tho. Its always a smooth drunk and you never get a hangover. Plus YOU make it so there's pride to it. And im not some hillbilly, i live it suburbs and work a good job. Its just a relaxing hobby
The last guys have a big sticker on the back of their truck saying "shine life" with a jar Inbetween the words, did they really think they were gonna fool the cop with that sticker haha
"That's not ours intention..." === in my experience, 99% of the time someone says the word "intention" they actually intended to do whatever they're about to say was not actually their intention.
I find it hilarious how they have a whole tv show about these dudes making illegal moonshine but the cops can’t find em or catch on?????? Let me go commit a well planned armed robbery and I’ll still end up in jail whatever the outcome smh
Well most TV shows are fake and we all no it but still entertaining that's why we watch this show keeps me on the edge of my seat with action horror and drinking.
I'm really confused about the legality of moonshine and the fact that they have camera crews following them around doing this supposed illegal practice. Does the whole sheriff's office not watch tv? How is this footage not incriminating?
This is a legal gray area, and can vary from country to country, from state to state. Most states recognize that, if the activity is being recorded objectively and without interference/propagation from the 'director', the film-maker is protected under the first amendment: specifically relating to the freedom of the press. As long as the piece is a documentary (this is the 'grey area' bit, as it lays in proving this classification for the film) then the film maker is operating in a journalistic capacity... and thus can not be prosecuted or censored. If, however, witnesses or the authorities involved can prove in any way that the film maker coerced or influenced the 'criminal' to participate in their illegal activities, they can be charged as an accessory to the crime. In some instances, however, authorities can indeed intervene; although this is typically in the form of a subpoena to surrender the footage rather than a criminal charge. One extreme example of this is the case of WDAF-TV v McCASKILL (1996), wherein the defendants (WDAF-TV) had footage of a murder, and upon having the footage seized countersued: claiming a breach of privacy. Both sides were considered to be 'correct' in their appraisal, and it resulted in the Privacy Act being ammended to reflect what a grey area this sort of thing is.
@@hippo1985 You couldn't be more wrong, I get you want to sound smart but it ain't going to be happening here buddy. These aren't for documentary purposes because it's not a documentary. Huge difference between a reality TV show and a documentary. This doesn't fall under any of those laws or circumstances, they've already explained how it is no one gets in trouble. It's all fake dude they don't actually make any alcohol. Everything you see there is straight water and water vapor. Nothing's real so are the staged circumstances even the cops they run into our paid actors. If you did any research you would have known this already.
thats dare propaganda meth is gave out in pill form for adhd its called Desoxyn no drug besides some untested research chems wont fuck you up even after lots of uses its how often you use alcohol withdrawals can kill you alone unlike opiates meth mdma coke
They said that was Tennessee highway patrol lol. If you've ever seen THP you would know all there vehicles are Black and Tan with yellow stripe and the uniform is tan and dark green and they are strict with enforcing there uniform policy
@@lazisawsome413 I live in the mountains in TN, I see State out here all the time and Jamie is right. You might live in Nashville, but he's talking about state patrol. Sit down and stop thinking you know everything.
This husband and wife team were my favorite characters on moonshiners...too bad we don't see them on the show anymore..i think her name was tawnia..not sure...can't remember his name
Because it's literally scripted, literally like that Kardashian show where every stupid idiot literally says 'literally' when they literally mean 'actually'.
I'm from where moonshiners is filmed right here in Franklin County and NC. This show is not staged or faked. There was a contract there is a tax on what they make.
i love this show! it is a part of the 15% of shows that are worth a damn, when you have 125 channels. that is why i dropped cable tv, and catch episode segments here. thanks, you tube!
Liquor stores are full of it. Only hobbists make illegal liquor and thats for curiosity. This isnt 1925. Its far more lucrative for deadbeats to get a social security check and buy booze at the store. Thats why the mountain highways are full of big billboard signs advertising law services and disability. You cant sell 'illegal' liquor for anymore than what you can easily get it at the store.. Its not worth it. Thats why all the boys looking for extra income in the hills raise/sell marijuana and make meth. This 'shinin' BS all died out long long ago... its a fantasy. its a story. The show is 100% complete fake.
well none of y'all been shining so i see you don't know shit about nothing my Grammy got 3 years for the same shit yhat they do'n. but ya i can see how you might think it's a joke but it's not because if it were we make it all year round
If this was real they wouldn't dare FILM ANY of it. Its all scripted. I used to waste my time watching shit like this. Then one day I grew a fucking brain. Im here now to laugh at it.
150 gallons of mash probably yields 15 or 20 gallons of decent whiskey. Proofing it down to 80 proof will about double that number. 4 or 5 thousand dollars at 100 a gallon which is rare in reality. Around here decent shine at 100 proof goes for 20 a quart.
Sounds just like JC Connors in "White Lightning," maybe it's fake who knows. "How ya'll doin' today, they ain't gonna be a no liquor makin' in these here parts, I know what ya'll be up here a doin." Sounds like the sheriff has done taken a few tastes hisself. LMAO!
because its unregulated. if its meant to go through someones mouth then you need to be trained to make sure it doesnt make people sick or kill. making food in a bug infested forest while its raining, and expecting someone to eat up, is just wrong.
I believe Mark and Digger are my two favorite characters in this series. I never hear them complain about each other - they work seamlessly. They're charitable to others in need and they're experts in their craft. Who could complain about anything?
They learned from the best. Popcorn
I just got back into it because of them, thank god they showin them instead of tims goofy ass. Honestly tim ruined it all.

i wish i could do that too, but i can't speak southern accent :(
Did guys really say "including body parts" as he showed us a stub where his finger used to be.....lol
He popped it off slamming a furnace down on it if I'm remembering correctly
You're strangely dumb
@@thisonelegend8467 ok when you said “popped it off” I got shivers. Imagine popping off your finger 💀.
Season finale: “Hey do you guys know alcohol’s been legal since 1933?”
“…it what?”
Yea moonshines illegal to make because it isn't taxed it's also a felony sincerely a guy who got a way by pure luck at one time
It’s illegal to make moonshine
Its illegal to make moonshine as its easy to make and not taxed.
This is clearly tax evasion. hahahahah. yea 1933. absolutely
Man these replies, lmao. Commenter made a joke and they go and explain something the commenter probably already knew.
1:49 so the cameraman just climbed up a tree to get a shot of them talking?
This show is full of nuggets of truth, they're just spread out over the whole season. If you pay attention you can learn some great shit.
Especially on how to make shine lol
I swear this cracks me up they act like it's hard tough running from the law but their on national TV showing everyone
They have to catch you in the act ..
@Soots Mcsoots No one's getting killed lol. How pompous do you have to be to compare the crime of distilling spirits to the crime of murder lol.
@Soots Mcsoots dumbest comparison I've ever heard , congrats
@@shonuff9181 dumbest comment i heard congrats on not understanding the comparison.
@@compsigh9275 you do know that badly distilled spirits literally can kill you and that it's not only about lost tax money but also about protecting people from bad moonshine that kills them? but that's beside the point as you can still use murder as a comparison as it still fits. crime is still crime and murder is a great example of how ''they have to catch you in the act'' ain't how crime works.

"Shine4Life" in the rear window...
What you plannin' on doin' wit these here apples and corn and this here burner?
Apple butter...
Alright, go on git!
This can't be real. I've been a cop for eleven years. If I saw someone making moonshine I'd want to know how it's made out of curiosity and give them a department patch and tell them to have a good day and don't catch anything on fire with that high proof heaven. Lmao.
same thing with cops who go after people who grow weed and whatnot, may not want to, but it still damn happens.
Its exaggerated to fuck. i make a few gallons every week or 2 for personal consumption and its perfectly legal. I could sell it in my state with just a liquor license.

I always find you in the most random videos 😂😂
You’re an idiot if you even thought for one second this was real
The last guys have a big sticker on the back of their truck saying "shine life" with a jar Inbetween the words, did they really think they were gonna fool the cop with that sticker haha
its all fake man
"That's not ours intention..." === in my experience, 99% of the time someone says the word "intention" they actually intended to do whatever they're about to say was not actually their intention.
Chico and Sondra is SO WONDERFUL AND GREAT
I’m so disappointed that I haven’t watched any episode sense the first season but I binge all these clips on YT.
CHICO AND SONDRA ARE AWESOME YOUNG COUPLE.
I find it hilarious how they have a whole tv show about these dudes making illegal moonshine but the cops can’t find em or catch on??????
Let me go commit a well planned armed robbery and I’ll still end up in jail whatever the outcome smh
@jake jones "the shit we brew will kill ya" What the fuck are you saying?. You basically brew undrinkable poison. What a stupid statement.
Most alcohol is literally undrinkable poison. Thats... why we drink it.
D MAC It will kill you because it’s straight ethanol
@Austin King yeah, it's way cooler making dumb TH-cam comments about something a majority of people occasionally enjoy
jake jones Actually, alcohol is the piss of bacteria as it ferments... soooo.. you are technically drinking piss, no matter what the drink is.
Not illegal to brew your own alcohol . Just illegal to sell it
I would have said 5K and take all responsibility
Sondra Is SO BEAUTIFUL AND GORGEOUS YOUNG LADY.Chico You Are SO Lucky.
I'd be like ummm what is your reason of pulling me over lol you cant just pull me over to talk
If this was real the ATF would be all over them
Legal to distill small amounts in Kentucky. I think they're just running non alcoholic mash.
Well most TV shows are fake and we all no it but still entertaining that's why we watch this show keeps me on the edge of my seat with action horror and drinking.
Discovery channel what happened ??? Turned into a drama series
"For all I know they can have cameras on us right now" while he's talking to a camera
"Looking at me through a scope" there using a shotgun lol
You never put a high-mag scope on a shotgun before?
Cops don’t travel alone
@@L0j1k idk what a high mag scope is but any scope on a shotgun is cheating
You use a scope for a rifled barrel and slugs.
Met digger and all of them when I was working at a local news station. Very nice and funny people.
My hearts thumping with this one
I don't even drink alcohol and I want to become a Moonshiner. LOL
Enough with the " they're on tv, why aren't they getting caught", yeah, we know
Lol nothing like Josh and Billy when they got drunk together and fight
Damn its a TV show is all chill just like any other show
right after he said "oh snap" the glasses on his face were gone
Ah yes, "nearly caught".
*uploads it to national telvision*
the hose going in the tank was green the one coming out of the barrel was red
that trooper must be from Pittsburgh

It's because nothing is real. This is all fake just for the show they already came out and said so.

MoonshineTV HILARIOUS
He said he doesn't want to be on camera he already is

“I’ll see you in seven days.”
Imagine spending this much time running around the forest pretending youre making moon shine
Imagine gettin to run around the woods n get paid
Imagine getting payed like 5000 an episode to run around the woods. Yea sooooo awful.🤣🤣🤣
Guess the jokes on you
Sorry, are you guys avid viewers? Didnt hurt your feelings too bad i hope
Austin Crosley you dont really think this is filmed, and broadcast the same year do you.
My bro know when it's time to walk away
When its time to cut and go home, its time to cut and go home.
With all the math being sold these cops worry about shine. What it boils down to is the government isn't getting their taxes
Knarf Trakiul don’t take this the wrong way but, do you mean “Meth”?
bro math fucking sucks good thing these cops are cracking down on it
Meth ruins your life after 1 try of it moonshine can do that after years too but not 1 try
Math, bet half you hillbillies can't to math

How did that guy lose his finger?
adam burdt stuck it in the fat old mans ass never got it back
He was using a grinder and the grinding wheel exploded and cut his finger off

@MarkisTG This is where i say his moms been dead 50 years but they did leave a ity bity hole in the casket
My favorite show of all time been watching since the begining
I will say Mark and Digger, grew up with popcorn sutton. they are the real deal!
Can someone lmk what the shells mean? Were they purposely left there to let the moonshiners know that their site has been compromised?
i love this show! it is a part of the 15% of shows that are worth a damn, when you have 125 channels. that is why i dropped cable tv, and catch episode segments here. thanks, you tube!
i mean i know its fake but its fun to watch...
Moonshine and weed American rights
Ohh 😲 shocking story line
apple butter lol
Moonshine should be legal God give us Alcohol to drink

here's the cliffhanger
How are they still doing if this if they're faces aren't blurred
What kind of truck is that and what year is that
Ever wonder why its ALWAYS almost? No one gets caught, goes to jail, or gets arrested for making legal liquor.
It's not illigal to make moonshine with a permit, you just can't sell it ha ha.
Wonder what happens in the offseason
Kann vi lage god sprit ved og kjøpe marioana av farmere og bruke det i satsen marioana sprit?
Moonshine is illegal to sell but if it was the same amount of sells with cupcakes no one would give a shit lol.
We’re at a cross roads here ; apple 🍏 rye or apple 🍏 butter 🧈? Hhhhmmm ? Let’s choose apple 🍏 rye 🌾 🥃.
I don’t get why the shotgun shells would be there. Unless it’s like a warning
Game wardans or people
Lil X yeah but what would game wardens be shooting at?
What episode
04:36 "I don't want to sound like a whiner, but ......... I've lost every thing I have this year, everything, including body parts"
When do cops run flashing purplelights ?
Keep pluggin boys
Real cute couple.
"they could have cameras" looks at the camera team XD wtf
Lmao the slugs were prob from a deer hunter if they weren’t just dumped there by the camera crew
