that’s probably one of the most realistic celebrity animatronics i’ve ever seen.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

It really blew me away

[@braves9652]

I have mad respect for ANYONE who will stand on a scale, without hesitation, knowing he has a large viewing audience. Way to go!!!

[@TheCarpetbagger]

I have no problem sharing my weight, people can make fun of me if they want

[@braves9652]

You're wrong. People look up to you. Including myself. I am fairly new on here, but I see you have a loyal group of subs who look up to you. You have a cute and bubbly girlfriend. You bought your own house recently (again, lol, that's so cool), and you're a great dad. Your channel is fun, and your subscriber list is moving pretty rapidly in the right direction. Congratulations, not only can I not find anything to make fun of, I see so much to look up to. Forget the ones who hide behind a screen trying to make you feel down. Keep on being you! 💜☮️🎶🐾🇺🇸💓

Thank you! I’ve learned not to care what toxic people have to say

My grandfather knew Colonel Sanders. He did a lot of traveling for his business, and happened through Corbin, and spent the night at the Colonel's hotel a few times. This is long before the Colonel became a celebrity. I like to think the room they have in the museum is one of the ones my grandpa stayed in. It's probably not, but it could be, and that's what I like to think.

Jacob head home immediately! The weather is dangerous and this trip is not worth the rises ❤❤

Jacob is wearing Denim!!! Looking good Carpetbagger. Fancy.

Ive traveled to Louisville a few times following my Clemson Tigers football team. Game day routine is The Louisville Slugger factory tour mid morning. Then head to Churchill Downs to pretend to understand horse racing for a few hours. From there its a short walk to the UofL football stadium. You can just leave your car in the race track parking lot. Its a very unique and affordable way to spend a game day. Always end the day with a Hot Brown. UofL fans are always very nice, great trip if FB is your thing. Go Cards!

[@stoshie1017]

You are a Tiger fan traveling to Louisville, and I am a Cards fan living 20 mins from Clemson. What a very small world.

Impressive animatronic Colonel Sanders 😮

[@zerxilk8169]

I am glad we saw that. thank you.

Never heard Col. Sanders' first name before in my life.

[@willcartoons]

Who knew they had a Disney level animatronic Col. Sanders to greet you? That was cool 🙂

This one's in the feed bag 🐎

[@dochics1053]

Scare everyone start singing 😂❤

[@ShelleeGraham]

I knew “Harlan” was Colonel Sanders first name, but I was born in the 1960s - so I grew up watching Kentucky Fried Chicken tv commercials. I think he referred to himself as “Harlan Sanders” in some television advertising.

[@P1xel8ed]

Your leg position while standing on the horse was great! Good heels down! 👍

[@unicorn063]

Wow, that’s a great Automatronics of him ❤

We may finally know the colonel sanders herb and spices 😂

i knew it, but then again, i get most of the questions right on jeopardy

[@SimplyGobsmacked]

I'm a horse lover and I've been to the Kentucky Derby Museum but it was long ago, looks like it's time for a revisit. Your intro was filmed at the grave of Barbaro. His story is a tragic one and made me question my lifelong love of thoroughbred racing. Barbaro was a magnificent horse, undefeated when he won the 2006 Kentucky Derby by 6.5 lengths, an accomplish last achieved in the 1940s. His jockey, riding him for the first time, said he never asked Barbaro for more power or speed, that horse did it for the sheer joy of competing. I'm convinced he would have been a Triple Crown winner if he hadn't fractured his right hind leg during the Preakness just two weeks after his Derby win. It was a catastrophic and graphic injury, broadcast in real time to millions of horse racing fans around the world. He underwent surgery and rehab at the New Bolton Center, Univ of Pennsylvania. Despite the best efforts of his outstanding medical team, Barbaro developed laminitis in his left hind leg and eight months after his spectacular "Run for the Roses," America's greatest living race horse was humanely euthanized, and buried at Churchill Downs. The whole thing was traumatic and heartbreaking. Your video just sent me down a Barbaro rabbit hole on YT. I just re-watched "The Story of the Hero Barbaro" and now I'm crying again. It's a sweet little documentary. Even if you don't know or care about racing, you have to appreciate this horse's spirit.

[@marystewart1125]

I live by the Kroger makes the garland of roses and go watch them make it every year. Festive month in Louisville. We have paddle boat races, fireworks, parades, and hot balloon races In April. Come to some of those events.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Always enjoy going to the Kentucky Derby!!!! 🐴🙂

[@RealColonelSanders]

Love this history on Uncle Harley

[@kimberlyfoster7148]

Love these museums! You are the best and I love that we get to go to so many places with you! Thank you so much for all of your hard work! ❤️ Tell Jenn we all said hello! 🤗🤗🤗

the greatest 2 minutes in sports

[@bripena6475]

I feel like most southerners know his first name😂

[@mlg1783]

I had no clue what his first name is, and I was born and raised in Kentucky.😊

[@Savagemister]

You whip your horse back and forth

[@Savagemister]

I knew Harland. I mean, I knew it was his name.

[@jimmyb.6272]

I did know his name was Harland. I met the man in the 1970’s.

[@MattTheLizard]

Getting in early to request a Carpetbagger museum!

[@robinc2024]

Very interesting. Thank you for going to Louisville. Safe travels

[@amybutterbaugh7629]

To be honest, I didn't know Col. Sanders first name. But thanks to you Jacob I do now. Thank you.

[@larasemerad2605]

Very educational Jacob-thank you.

[@unicorn063]

What a cool museum 😊

[@syedhamidi5643]

You may not know this but KFC is pretty big in Malaysia 😂 we do everything with KFC, birthday 🎉, celebration, holidays and dinner. Also we know the first name because every restaurant have little reading section about Col Sanders 🍗. Fun fact i once working at KFC because i really love KFC 😂🍗❤

[@noisespektrum5416]

Col. Sanders owned a house on my street as a kid. He was always great with the neighborhood kids during his years living in the Toronto area. He did alot of great things for the community back then.

[@d.r.mcmanus9640]

The Animatronic is pretty impressive! Does it look to anyone else like he's holding a cellphone in his non-bucket holding hand?

[@graham679]

Welcome back to Louisville Kentucky you definitely need to come back for the Kentucky Derby and festival that starts 2 weeks before the derby with the largest fireworks show in the nation

[@pennybonilla9371]

I went to Kentucky and somewhere I believe in Louisville there is Bible mini golf. That's something right up your alley!

[@danestevens4858]

Glad you were in Louisville KY! Wish I would have ran into you.🙂

[@Eddunaway-qp5tv]

Great video Jacob nice Kentucky derby Muslim of the derby a)ways wanted to see it in person

[@jabrowski_]

This was awesome ty Jacob

[@coreym162]

I'm confident that his name being "Harland" is not common knowledge.

[@amyk87]

Fun video! And the Col. Sanders animatronic is hands down the most amazing, lifelike one I’ve ever seen!

[@DavidWRyan]

3:00 I think I heard his name once but forgot it until now!

[@craigholstine2154]

Good Morning Jacib .. !!

[@madebroke7677]

Had no clue what Col. Sanders first name was! I’m with Jen on this one!

[@brianwolters7560]

So, if you come through Arkansas on US 67, you need to stop in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas to "Do The Beatles Walk"...it has an interesting story...not worth going out of your way for but the "Rock In Roll Highway" (old US 67) is so worth going on.

[@reneecarlson7124]

That animatronic is better than the ones at Disney! Did you see where Colonel Sanders is buried? It's called Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, and it has the same bust! Also Muhammad Ali is buried there, and there's a cool magician statue memorial.

[@acatic80]

I highly doubt that he went there or even the Louisville Slugger museum. We he post the choices....I automatically that Louisville Slugger. Heck, I didn't even think about the Colonial Sanders, KFC, or Kentucky Derby. Personally, I think Louisville Slugger is bigger, but that's just me.

[@cathrinewhite7629]

I still have the Time & Newsweek mags of Secretariat, the week he won the Triple Crown in 1973. As an 11 year old farm girl, I had horses on the brain LOL😂

[@jabrowski_]

As the late, great Colonel Sanders once said "Im too drunk to taste this chicken"

[@lorrienascene3141]

[@cindylk11]

I loved Colonel Sanders. I grew up with the old KFC restaurants, and the rotating KFC bucket. That animatronic is pretty impressive! Johnny Depp was also given a Kentucky colonel ship.

[@Devin-Capper]

You should make it over to Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown in VA

[@gregoryfaith4303]

He was in the town we were living in at the opening of a franchise store of his at the same time my father was taking me to the Navy recruiter to go to boot camp. Saw him cut the red ribbon. July 1976.

[@atinwoodsman]

Kentucky "Colonel" is the highest title of honor bestowed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and is the best-known of a number of honorary colonelcies conferred by United States governors.

[@josalee6479]

Wow! I did not know his first name before you just mentioned it. The more you know

[@shaun9454]

❤❤❤❤😢

[@nksnid]

I was born in Louisville & grew up right outside of Henryville where Harland was born and raised! Indi's chicken is where it's at!

About Colonel Harland Sanders: While living in my native country, the Netherlands, i only knew about KFC, being American fast food service with perhaps 3 locations in the entire country. While working in Amerika, i actually visited the local KFC where i learned about Colonal Sanders. An amazing and amiable entrepeneur with a good heart for his personel. But until know i have never heard his first name Harland being mentioned.

[@APRIL_boymom]

I was today years old when I found out his first name… and I live in Kentucky 😂

[@izaakz12]

Looks amazing 👏

[@amyreynolds3619]

The colonel sanders was a railfan I saw him on on a railroad car being pulled by a 1225 steam locomotive in the late 60s.

[@iamprivate18]

The greatest sin Eric Cartman ever committed was eating all the skin off the KFC chicken 😭

[@insidedianeslife2456]

I did not know his first name. I want to visit here. Great animatronic.

[@demah8655]

This was a very informative vlog. Loved it!!!!

[@tylerdavis127]

I went to Bellarmine University right down the road from that, so every time I went to school, I would see it when I exited off the Watterson Expressway onto Newburg.

[@Cydonia2020]

Once a year at Kentucky Derby time, the local rich ladies drinking club hires me to dress up as the Colonel. I have the full white suit and wig and paint my mustache white. I get free noshes, bloody Marys and a bucket of chicken. It's a finger licking good time!

[@Savagemister]

Imagine a world where nobody recognizes him by looking at him. He was on an old game show in the early 60s "What's my line?" where celebs have to guess what someone's job is. There he sat and they asked him questions trying to figure out what he did for a living. He was even introduced as Colonel Sanders. The clip is here on KZbin

[@razor6552]

If you haven't already gone, I suggest going to Paducah. Stop off at Owensboro for good BBQ.

Thanks. Both those museums look really cool. The colonel Sanders animatronic is really life like. Didn’t even realize they had the colonel sanders bucks. I did know colonel ssndrrs first name is Harland. We even had a person dressed as colonel sanders walking around the neighborhood on Halloween 😝

[@laurenc8305]

As a native Louisvillian, if you attend the Derby, make it a point to partake in some of our pre-Derby events! We have Thunder Over Louisville, the Great Balloon Race, the Pegasus Parade, bed races, the Steamboat race, & other events around town two weeks before the Derby takes place. (& yes, it is common knowledge for most people I know here in KY that Colonel Sander’s first name is Harland)

[@danielvogel9190]

I second Thunder Over Louisville!

I came here to say this exact same thing! Do they still do the balloon glow before the balloon race? (I was born and raised in Louisville but now live in SC)

Indiana Fried Chicken just doesn't have the same ring to it. I love animatronics, especially the Captain L. Ernst one in the USS Midway Museum in San Diego.

the Kentucky Derby Museum was pretty 👍 nice, I must say. Thanks for showing us around, TCB!

[@ZorroZ-l4p]

Thank you for the video. Not sure if you are still around the Louisville area, but if you are, you might check out the Claudia Sanders restaurant. That is colonel sanders and his wife Claudia’s restaurant. If you ever head up to Illinois, I hear they have some new McDonald’s restaurant. (cosmcs I think?)

[@chuckoneill2023]

I knew The Colonel's first name, because I read his book. It includes the time he shot a man dead in an actual gun fight. He was never charged, as it was ruled self defense. His pre-celebrity life was very dangerous and hard-scrabble. A very interesting person, not at all the cartoon mascot he's seen as now.

[@victoriajohnson4420]

Yes, I knew.

[@mbrewer5499]

I knew it was Harland but my folks were from KY

[@DavidBrown-uh8md]

I worked for KFC for number of years and NEVER heard his first name. Learned it from Carpetbagger just like Jenn!😊

[@rogerbrown6888]

Harland who knew

[@zacharysherrill4749]

Growing up in the South may have something to do with it, but I new his name was Harland at a young age. I don’t know how I learned his 1st name, whether word of mouth, or tv commercials, not sure. Great animatronic though.

[@unicorn063]

I didn’t know jus name was Harland 😂😂😂😂😂

That's kind of strange that Kentucky is giving out the rank of Colonel to non military. I have heard that in Japan it's a tradition to eat KFC on Christmas. Yum!😊 The animatronic Colonel was amazing! Looks like you jumped a little when he started talking!😂

[@DarkPoke99]

Awesome looking forward to all the stuff he's going to show us in this video I love learning about all the stuff in the museums his museum videos are the second favorite videos he uploads since I love learning about stuff. Hopefully you have a safe travels when driving to your next location.
