Moonshiners

There are some documentaries that are pretty good to watch. If I can remember correctly, I think the one called "the last one" or something like that was really good.

The one that they hid his face is my brother. HAHAHA

I didn't see this post kenny. Meant no offense to you or yours.

Just kidding, No offence at all. Not my kin. Private joke aimed at jedstivers and Angus Cowman.

 

[jedstivers]

I bet he ain't kiddin. He's got to be kin to some of them. :lol:

We've seen a couple of episodes of the show, but what we can't figure out is how any of these guys (the 'shiners') agreed to be filmed. How can that be done without them being arrested?

I know that none of the folks in my neck of the woods wouldn't participate in anything that put their faces on TV while making "the recipe".

I really think that the show is "fake." There is no way in helll that anyone would load a still and drive it into the woods in broad daylight. Then go on and advertise that they are a fire chief at the local fire department all the while being taped by a film crew. Its all for ratings. Nothing real about it cept for the stories and legend of Popcorn.

Because it's all B.S. I watched it for the first and last time last night. I agree about Mr. Sutton but the rest of the show is pretty lame and actually an insult to the trade.

from the wettest county in the World,

Fitz- I would have to disagree about you living in the wettest county in the world. I think that I'm in the wettest county. :(

I am betting some atleast one of the guys on that show are related to KT
probablys his 2nd cousin on his momma's side and his uncle on his daddys side of the family and it is all the same person

 

[Red Bull Breeder]

If KT ain't kin to the local folk he must be kin to the Revenue man.

Oh great!! Now you've just blown his 'cover'! If we don't hear from KT anymore we'll have you to blame, and good luck on any of us finding him. :lol2: :lol2:

I am guessing that your time in Arkansas has honed your skills in recognizing the aforementioned phenatype.

 

[TexasBred]

We were kinda thinking that perhaps its 'staged' or 'scripted' to an extent.

Katherine

On all these so called reality show you have to keep in mind that there is always a camera and a crew in the background and a performance is being delivered. Sure doesn't raise the IQ of some of the "actors" tho. :mrgreen:

You haven't seen where he came from.

 

[kenny thomas]

Well I do look a lot like popcorn. :lol2:

Well, I guess that you are right in the heart of shine Fitz. I guess that your "wet" is better than knee deep mud. Merry Christmas to you and your family down there in VA.

A buddy of mine (also surname Thomas) went back to the county in NC from which his family originated. He was high school aged at the time and his remark was that there was NO ONE in the county he could ask out if he wanted to live with the "no closer than 2nd cousins rule".

 

[VAAngus]

They are filming this show about 30 minutes south of me. Interviewed the ATF agent on our local news when the show first came on, he said there was absolutely no "shine" made during the taping of the show. i watched about 10 minutes of one episode, that was all I could handle.

I wonder if this means Ice Road Truckers is dramatized?

I was wondering the same thing about Deadliest Catch?

But its not illegal to be crazy dumb and run a 40k lb rig over ice or fish in 40 ft seas in -20f water.
Im sure they were dramatized and edited but probably not fully scripted like the shiners show.
