They’re not your average television stars; then again, fame doesn’t come easily to North Carolina mountain men.

Far from the prospective lens of Hollywood, two unassuming backwoodsmen found themselves suddenly thrust into the limelight when their illegal activities caught the eye of the producers of “Moonshiners”, a Discovery Channel production.

Jeff and Mark were in Dawsonville for the Moonshine Festival and took time to tickle the ribs of FYN.

Although beset by admirers, they took a few minutes out of their busy schedule to allow us to interview them. Still down to earth, they wasted no time in getting down to the business of humor.
