Remember folks his age when I was younger smoking that Prince Albert came in a can. There is an I wouldn't call it a dad joke more like a grandpa joke. It went, " y'all got Prince Albert in a can?" Of course they knew the answer would be yes. "Well y'all better let him out!" 😅! Heard that around six years old, I thought it was the funniest thing! 😆
Sad the damn government drove this American legend to take his own life. I live in Madison county which is two countys over from Haywood where he lived and he's a local icon.
It's the damm jealous snitches that ruined Popcorn and they will amount to nothing next to him. Jealousy and the metamfetamyn crowd snitchin on anyone to keep paying top dollar for poison. 😢

I loved the stories about my grandparents talking about that they didn't even know about the depression. You live off the land in appalachia,, social issues don't apply.
this man was WALKING HISTORY LESSON.. RIP POPCORN SUTTON.. WHEN A MAN WAS A MAN WHO SAID WHAT THEY SAID AND MEANT IT. NO EXPANDING ON STORIES JUST TO THE POINT..
Such a Legend, One of a Kind.. and yes the Government should not have do e him the way they did.. all over a Non Taxed Drink... Unreal. !!!!!!.. Love ya Popcon...RIP
as a lifelong resident and native of Appalachia, RIP Popocorn. he was a real one. and Appalachia lost one of its best and brightest when he left this earth
My pops always says that when he feels a cold or the flu or any kind of sickness coming on that he’s got to get some “medicine” and by medicine he means a bottle of the strongest white liquor he can find lmao, then he tries to make everyone drink some so we don’t get sick as well lol
He had cancer too. I don’t think jail was his only concern although him having cancer made it even more cruel to sentence him to 18 months in jail. Just for making something thats sold in most shops anyway.
Came up on small farm patch, wood potbelly stove, wood cook stove, cold water well hand pump in the sink, kerosene lamps, a root cellar and two-hole outhouse. Shovel and wheelbarrow days. Not all that bad, compared to a City flop house with a ornery landlord and buncha strangers, and who knows what you'll meet out on the sidewalk, heading off to work labor for an ornery boss and a buncha shovel-leaners, when you're pretty sure he's gonna skip out on payday.
I love his and my mountain accent...us mountain folk can find food, shelter, and SHROOMS in the wild, while you city folk have to go BUY all yourn hahaha....learn to survive and be out of your comfort zone people!!
Claw Hammer Supply will ship still kits and mashing recipes and supplies. Just have to make sure it legal in your state. it was illegal in my state but there is a loop hole. I paid $5 for a permit to make biofuel and have to label the jars "Not for human consumption" sips just the same.
I always admired men who truly lived their own life without compromise.
He made the biggest compromise

@@beachlifesandy-oc7nlwhat compromise are you talking about?
@@beachlifesandy-oc7nlhis to make.
I'm making shine in South Africa. You Marvin are the best!
If Old Popcorn knew those Pall Mall filterless he's smoking is $9 a pack he would have a conniption.
He would just roll his own

@@richardlusk1715 I believe you. but I was drunk and I wanted to tell you about a lame joke I heard when I was a kid. 🍻
Try $50 a pack in Australia
Wouldve loved to just sit in his company for an hour. Rest easy Popcorn. A hard working, honest man.
American legend
My dad grew up in the same place as Popcorn. I was told you could do dairy or moonshine and he didn't have any cows
Precisely why you should not be limited by others.

I love listening to your stories of old days. Reminds me of my Daddy
Sad the damn government drove this American legend to take his own life. I live in Madison county which is two countys over from Haywood where he lived and he's a local icon.
That was his choice. He only got 18 months and i doubt he'd have served it all. I hate it, RIP Mr. Corn.
@@M60gunner1971 yeah but he also got diagnosed with cancer so who knows the dr might have told he didn’t have long to live.
@@M60gunner1971 if your choice is to die free or die in prison, knowing death is right around the corner, what would you choose?

Coke in a glass bottle, back in the day when he had teeth he would put peanuts in the bottle and eat and drink at the same time
Hahaha I do that peanut and coke .. love it
Facts. One of my. Uncles died and my aunt had to make shine to feed seven lil kids
Were there not any jobs?
The government basically killed Popcorn. RIP
climate change and died suddenly vaccines would have got him eventually...
@@HighFalutinTootin he killed himself
Something to be said for HONESTY❤☮️✌️

I just recently found Popcorn,
I had no idea he passed 😢...
my condolences 🙏
What a fantastic, interesting gentleman.
PBS did a story on moon shine and Popcorn was the best one of the men who they were showing
RIP sir, and may God bless you and keep you in eternity 🙏
he shot his self 🖤
I agree
I was in Maggie Valley back in the early 90s and ran into Popcorn Sutton. A very unique experience indeed. What a character.
I loved the stories about my grandparents talking about that they didn't even know about the depression. You live off the land in appalachia,, social issues don't apply.
(RIP) Granddaddy 😢
I love hearing Old Timers talk about them olden days.
RIP Popcorn. ❤
A man gone because of our goberment 😮
He's exactly right
American Legend
Why didn't he just do the time, he could have made moonshine in jail and been everyone's hero
@gregscavuzzo5457 he was dieing of cancer and would not survive his short sentance
Listen to them hound dogs off in the holler.
Thank you for all the Popcorn 🍿 😊
Thank you for watching!
I met him several times. I worked on the same movie he is in. He always stared at me...later I found out he loved big women lol
They were married and she’s actually on a few episodes of Moonshiners!
Nothing wrong with some curves😁
sure would've liked having a gallon of his brew. bet it was good.

reminds me of my great uncle

And soupbeans and a pone of cornbread
P S.. maybe some Redeye Gravy too
This is a real guru
White lightning
We need more like him to bring this history back
Don’t make fun of southern folks popcorn was the real deal you won’t find anyone as real as him

I love me some popcorn it's the closest thing I got to my ancestors
Loving this channel I’m from east tn

Same first name as my dad, and pretty much the same beard.

You can believe everything MF word this guy says, respect
God loves Popcorn Sutton

He made great moonshine 😊
The South and Southerners, the way they live, their music skuzzes me out.
My granddaddy also made likker. He never sold it but we all drank it. Even the kids get a little taste.
Love those overalls
Soooooo true P.S. a beautiful, truthful man. African American woman 50s generation N.J.
God Bless you Popcorn
American Legend of Moonshine
The a t f hounded this man
I'm sipping his recipe rite now shh
A Lil coke, now when is the last time I saw one of those?!?! They are so good 😊
Great
A grande classe....💖🙏💖
The man I used to get my shine from retired at 92.
🧈 goes good with popcorn
Love ya popcorn
You are 100%right
Sucks this dude killed himself cuz he didn't wanna go to jail. He was so cool.
He had cancer too. I don’t think jail was his only concern although him having cancer made it even more cruel to sentence him to 18 months in jail. Just for making something thats sold in most shops anyway.
@Happy Bee you f***in' with me?? They give child killers less time! For 'Shine??! Damn
Especially when non-whites are committing violent, murdering crimes DAILY and spend zero time in any jail. 😡
Is so sad to think about:( 💔🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
conniption lol . . . well said 😃
His hat was looking brand new. I bet nobody touched that hat. ❤
We need a man like this to be president
I miss popcorn! 😢. Never be another person like him ! 😢Our loss is heaven gain ! 😢
Your a good man!!
❤Gently R.I.P.
Hat on point....
He never hurt anybody. Leave him alone.
Don't ever think that a countryman is stupid cuz this one's not rest in peace popcorn ❤️🙏
I bet that moonshine back-in-the-day was God damn good
No truer words said
Amen to that
Can't believe what he was drinking 😮😮😮😊😊
❤
I used to think Popcorn was an old man but in hindsight, he was only 63 when he died.
Pyrex and copper pipes are best types to build a still.

God bless you Popcorn your living the life!!
love too be there!,, hard work,, , you have to eat make liquor my dad approved, love Dad
Amen 🙏
Good man
RIP to Popcorn the legend! One sad thing about cable TV dying, nobody is making shows like this, American pickers and old school pawn stars anymore
You got by and you had to do what you had to do to get by rest in peace my friend hope to see you again moon shine ✌️🤠
I agree
RIP. Popcorn Sutton.
You will be remembered 4 ever.💙
Putting a man like him in prison is no different than caging a wild animal just for surviving.
The hubris of authority is breathtaking.
Simply because they had no license, people are the ruler of their own life
A man or woman who can live their life on their terms they will be a happy person with few regrets.
I love his and my mountain accent...us mountain folk can find food, shelter, and SHROOMS in the wild, while you city folk have to go BUY all yourn hahaha....learn to survive and be out of your comfort zone people!!
I wanta make some moonshine
I wanna drink some 😊
This dude just turned
19 years old 🤠🥃.
Yall I stg I know an old man they use to deliver moon shine for popcorn I just figured it out today
My granddaddy died before he could teach me to make the likkers. I still wanna learn

There are downfalls..my 2nd cousin lost EVERYTHING...home land, equip., cattle..spent 5 yrs Fed pen..came out crippled???
Our family lost a lot of land in wilks county. Making shine.
I’m so sorry, such a shame!
