1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: I hope to never be filmed when it comes to

2
00:00:02,879 --> 00:00:05,879
locating a podcast that I want to check into, because

3
00:00:05,879 --> 00:00:07,679
the very second I sit in the front seat of

4
00:00:07,719 --> 00:00:11,119
the car, that podcast has got a match where I

5
00:00:11,199 --> 00:00:14,880
am mentally as well as physically. That's why we created

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,160
the aerow dot net network to give you the power

7
00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:21,120
of choice all of these different things when it comes

8
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,120
to content, but it's not shoved into the same jar.

9
00:00:24,879 --> 00:00:28,359
You get to choose Ero dot net, a r roe

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,600
dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Hello and good morning everybody.

11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:33,560
How you doing today?

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: We're doing wonderful aarro. How about you?

13
00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm doing it better.

14
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 3: Wait bitwins.

15
00:00:39,119 --> 00:00:41,359
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I wish. I'd have a NASCAR

16
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:44,159
team behind me, because no NASCAR would be on the

17
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,240
planet Earth if it wasn't for moonshining. And I just

18
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:49,799
love what you guys are doing and what you continue

19
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:53,960
to do because it's about taking chances and exploring flavors

20
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,679
from different regions of the country.

21
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,399
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you know what, that's beautiful.

22
00:01:02,119 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: One of the things that I have to giggle about

23
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,760
is the nickname, which is tax Free Booze, and inside

24
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,000
my mind, I'm going I want to live that life.

25
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,280
I want to be a rebel like.

26
00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:15,879
Speaker 2: That, Well, be careful what you wish for.

27
00:01:16,079 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 3: Careful what you wish for.

28
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: I mean with so much drama and everything that's taking

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,879
place on Moonshiner's on Discovery Channel, the thing is is

30
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,359
that how do you guys find your call? Because I

31
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,480
do go in there and I study your body language,

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,640
your behaviors, your your facial expressions. I'm just one of

33
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,359
those guys that has got to study the entire everything

34
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,040
that's going on.

35
00:01:37,799 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: Wow, you have to.

36
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 4: You have to think about where a lot of our

37
00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:43,519
learning came from.

38
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: We spend a lot of time us at riving bars tools, Yeah,

39
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,920
we did. And the old man always told us fear

40
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,239
of the calmest man in the room.

41
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 4: Well, that tells me that the calmst man is going

42
00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:57,519
to be the most successful man. So don't get excited

43
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,359
about something you can't fix, right to you.

44
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:03,239
Speaker 1: Well, that tells me that you guys are silent watchers.

45
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,760
That means that when you go in and you sit

46
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:06,959
on that stool at a bar, you're there to watch

47
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,479
the people, to watch what they're doing and how they're

48
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,000
taking in that atmosphere.

49
00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, there and myself anywhere we go bar, restaurant

50
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,240
anywhere we do, we won't ever sit with our back

51
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,599
to the door. Uh, you know, we want to see

52
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:23,000
who comes and goes. We want to we don't want

53
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:25,479
nothing sneaking up on us, so to speak. And I

54
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,759
guess it's just after years of looking over your shoulder

55
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,120
at just the trach, we don't realize we do it,

56
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:34,879
but we automatically go to a seat with our back

57
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,719
to the wall that faces the door.

58
00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:37,199
Speaker 2: Yeah.

59
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 4: And sometimes if we're in the middle of a room

60
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,560
and we find over the states that's facing that.

61
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: You know, that's if you ever get caught.

62
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,319
Speaker 4: In the position that that you you've got you back

63
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,599
to problem you regretted, I promise you.

64
00:02:50,719 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: Right.

65
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: So is moonshining only an American treat or or what

66
00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:57,879
is it? Because I mean we I'm hearing the Carolinas.

67
00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:00,759
I know moonshine. No, I'm not gonna tell you where

68
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,719
it is, but I know moonshine.

69
00:03:03,719 --> 00:03:05,599
Speaker 2: Good for you to get it long if you can

70
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,520
tell where it's at.

71
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:09,759
Speaker 1: Is it global?

72
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:10,879
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

73
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: It's global.

74
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's the illegal liquor made on ever.

75
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:19,039
Speaker 2: The moon moonshine.

76
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 4: Everything you got, Poe Cheing, you got what all these

77
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,159
we've learned about pachuga.

78
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,159
Speaker 2: Let's see uh mez coal.

79
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,879
Speaker 4: It's it's produced illegally, probably more than moonshiney is.

80
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,319
Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with Mark and Digger

81
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:41,000
coming up next Moonshiners on Discovery Channel. We are back

82
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,840
with Mark and Digger. I sit there and I try

83
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:46,120
to figure out if it's it's if it's regional. In

84
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,400
other words, the moonshine in Montana is going to be

85
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,319
different than the moonshine in Carolina. And and and do

86
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,599
you go out there and and and study that and

87
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:55,680
talk with the people of that land, because I mean,

88
00:03:55,719 --> 00:03:58,400
I would love to see you in other countries doing this.

89
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,199
Speaker 2: Well, there's no worry about us leaving the United States.

90
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: No, I don't know. I don't leave the continent with

91
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:11,360
the United States. I'm not a traveler. I don't enjoy traveling.

92
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,600
But you know, honestly, I think every region they simply

93
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:19,279
made their moonshine or whatever they called it out of

94
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,839
whatever ingredients were regional to them, whatever they had available

95
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:26,800
is what they used. And you know, we had a

96
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,240
boundful crop of corn, so of course we was going

97
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:30,879
to do corn.

98
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'll tell you what now you sound like

99
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,000
my father in the way that my father got upset

100
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,680
because the you know, gasoline took over corn. Everybody in

101
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,160
the world is taking over corn, and those of us are,

102
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:43,879
for for instance, like you with moonshining, you're messing around

103
00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:45,839
with the roots of your success.

104
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,319
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well, now the biggest thing we've got is

105
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,319
a safety rope there is as far as that gasoline,

106
00:04:54,439 --> 00:04:58,000
that's yellow corn we worked with what I heard.

107
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, go try to find that at a

108
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,279
grocery store. You're not going to find corn there, white

109
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,759
corn there. What does everybody turn it into moonshiners?

110
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,759
Speaker 3: You know, we always said, you know, yellow corns for creditors,

111
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,000
white corns for people.

112
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 4: If more people turned into moonshiners and they accepted the

113
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,519
value is that these old men promoted in us, it'd

114
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:23,160
probably a little better place to live.

115
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: So do you just hire somebody that you know to

116
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,439
shuck that corner? Do you have machines that do that

117
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,439
for you?

118
00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:31,079
Speaker 2: No, we do it?

119
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: Or say, oh my god, that's hands on, then dude,

120
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,120
that's all the more respect in the world for you.

121
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: Well, thing about it is, you know, everything we can

122
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,600
do ourselves. That's somebody that we didn't have to pay

123
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:44,560
to do it, and that puts a little more money

124
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:45,639
in our pocket.

125
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: Right the business side of the business. And that's got

126
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:50,920
to be one thing. You've got to protect your supply.

127
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,160
We hear of all these stories about what's going on

128
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,199
out there in Colorado about protecting their supplies. How do

129
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,079
you do it with yours? Because I mean, with today's drones,

130
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,480
do you not fear that buzzing sound in the sky

131
00:06:01,519 --> 00:06:03,160
as somebody's trying to steal from you?

132
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we've had we've had stuff stole, and you know,

133
00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:12,279
and the thing about it is, when you live in

134
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:16,000
our world, we can't report it stolen. It's just you know,

135
00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:18,160
if we don't find it, we don't find it. It's

136
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:18,879
just gone.

137
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,959
Speaker 4: You can't run to the corner store there and find

138
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,199
your cops stand there and say I want to report

139
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:27,120
a theft of mine, tax liquor, my liquor steal.

140
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 3: They frown on that something fierce.

141
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,199
Speaker 1: But see, that's that's what I love about exploring the Carolinas.

142
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,199
I can always tell when I'm getting into an area

143
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,759
where I'm not supposed to be because all of a sudden,

144
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:42,000
when you come off the beaten trail and you go

145
00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:44,800
into someone's area and all of a sudden there's in

146
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,639
what are you doing here? I'm going I know what

147
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,120
you're doing. That's all I needed to know. I'm out

148
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,519
of here. Nice seeing you today.

149
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:54,759
Speaker 3: You can always tell the local person around here. If

150
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,399
the stranger comes up there, go to it saying, now,

151
00:06:57,439 --> 00:06:58,720
who's boy or you?

152
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you better bring a familiar name to the

153
00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:05,439
table or you get shut down. Right.

154
00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:09,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, people in Appalachia and the Carolina's all

155
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,279
about you know, their clannish is hell and they're going

156
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:14,360
to stick together, and it takes a long time to

157
00:07:14,399 --> 00:07:16,439
build confidence to get into their world.

158
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 4: Well, if you think about it, you know there's always

159
00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:22,680
been shastras try to take advantage of who they perceive

160
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,639
as being uneducated people.

161
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we did a.

162
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,959
Speaker 4: Lot of things, but we're a tiny bit educated and

163
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,920
we didn't. You know, we know when somebody's trying to

164
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:32,639
pull the wool over.

165
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: Not necessarily book educated, but you know, mountain sands and

166
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,199
savvy on the way that should be.

167
00:07:40,279 --> 00:07:42,439
Speaker 2: That sense will take you way farther anyhow.
