[@GaryKennedy-zl7wi]

My wife and I have been watching your mississippi road adventure the whole way and are really enjoying the videos. Loved the Tunica one, we we're there years ago. Can't wait to see the others, Thanks!!

[@jennyvezina4551]

I usually watch your videos the minute they post, but today I was at our local memorial day parade. It's now 6:30 pm and I just watched it and once again would like to thank you for such a wonderful road trip!!!!!

[@jinnylinny84]

Around 13:57 someone passes gas and my husband and I could not stop rewinding and laughing 🤣. Must be some good beans being served there 🤣🤣🤣

[@iHeartSantaFanta]

[@zenabeme22]

Abe's Barbeque is so freaking Good. We have family in MISS and we would stop by there all the time passing through Clarksdale. Its still family owned also. I need to take a trip there soon just for Memory Sake. 😊

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Good Morning Jacob 🙋🏽. Enjoy the rest of your day ‼️👋🏽

[@robylove9190]

13:25 I didn't know that Jesus had a barbecue sauce recipe. I guess you could never say it was a hell of a good barbecue sauce recipe.

[@maryashtonfowler1691]

My best friend told me about this video because you were talking about Abe's. My great grandfather was Abe Davis. My grandfather Pat owns it now. It is still strictly ran by my family and seeing videos like this make my heart so happy. Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Next time try the cheese burger it's amazing!!😊

[@history_leisure]

2:41 There was a casino in New England where the gambling floor was on water but had the separate hotel towers on land. Bright Sun Films covered it some time ago

[@paulfuryes203]

Love Kermit the fog, and also, I want BBQ . Great video, Jacob .take care my friend and as always safe travels.

[@ThatChadWithTheAnchorArms]

22:35 I'm Very familiar with them, from the Jim Henson Hour! The special focuses on Milton who is a GOLDEN TOAD nearing extinction. Finds a female toad held hostage by researchers, so he journeys through the Jungle to save her from humans they nickname "The Uprights"

[@DebHoeft]

Enjoy ending my days with you. Learn, have fun and write down my wish list vacation travels Keep up the wonderful adventures and thanks for making my days end on a happy note

[@MiladyMacabre]

Yes, I went to the NY World's Fair in 1964/65 a couple of times. Got to see the Disney-created Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, The Tower of the Four Winds, It's a Small World, the Carousel of Progress, and Ford's Magic Skyway while there, along with a lot of other exhibits and attractions.

[@ShelleeGraham]

I love how you sang “Old Man River” at the end. Did you know the The Beach Boys did a version of that song?

[@GaryPettit1]

Hi Jacob- I've always lived in California, but I was lucky enough to go the World's Fair in 1988 Brisbane Australia - I've never forgotten that trip of a lifetime and still have all my Australian Worlds Fair Souvenirs 🌏

[@OutdoorsWithShawn]

Omward Store closed in January 2024 after being there for over 100yrs. Sad day when it closed. Ive spent a good amount of time on hwy61 from Baton Rouge to Vicksburg over the last few years. Can't wait to see what you show over the next few days in my neck of the woods.

[@jenniferjones-edwards9729]

My family went to the Knoxville Worlds Fair in 1982. I was 12 years old. We had a great time. We waited for hours to get in the China Pavillion. I was beautiful! I would love to go to another one!

[@bonniekaye]

Great video!! My Uncle & Aunt lived in Clarksdale, MS. for decades!

[@FanOfFab4]

I visited the World's Fair in NYC 1964-65 - it was a great experience and I even got "misplaced" while admiring the Unisphere!!!!

[@elizabethharrison7306]

Kermit The Frog 🐸 Love my favorite one fan BIG 💖

[@JennyBastet]

Oh Kermit's town- especially the little museum -is such a lovely place ❤

[@imakeajiffypuff4525]

I'm so glad you got to visit the Jim Henson exhibit - it's a place near and dear to my heart. 💚 I live in Greenville and work in Leland. I was born in the same hospital Jim Henson was. Thank you for showing off this wonderful bit of history that most people aren't aware even exists.

[@CMWelch88]

As a Mississippian (from Biloxi), I really enjoy seeing your videos filmed in MS! Brings me to places I've yet to visit. Hope you love your travels throughout the state!

[@tomboyraider1015]

You always find the most interesting museums.

[@wilrodzslayer]

I was born in Kermit, Texas! lol 🐸

[@brianking973]

I'm so happy you went there! I am from Greenwood Mississippi. I went to that museum several years ago.

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Morning Jacob 🤓📸 it was nice seeing u on Livestream last night, i was chilling at home. Thanks for sharing this birthplace of Kermit the Frog 🐸. Looks awesome 👍. You take care my friend. Stay safe.

[@themoldcars]

Was just watching weather channel. Not sure where you are tonight. But wherever you are I hope you are staying safe from the storms.

[@drew3962]

The best series you have done!!! Thanks Jacob my family and I have been watching you every day 😊

[@joannasanders146]

thank you,thank you Jacob for taking me along on your trips. I enjoyed you eating your bbq, even tho i'm not a big bbq eater. i really do enjoy you going to the little towns & finding there attractions. yes the road trip is winding down & i'm going to miss seeing the MISSISSIPPI RIVER but be safe in your travels & looking forward to you making it to Louisianna.

[@bossladybird85]

I love when you show the different things you eat on your road trips!!!!! Please continue to do that! ❤ And as always Travel safe, and Safe Travels ahead Jacob!!

[@danalynch8889]

I was at the 1964 New York World's Fair as a kid and loved it.

[@AbbyNelms]

We invite all to enjoy mississippi pinesol was made in mississippi.also faith hill, Bret fare, elvis birthplace, Jim Henson museum and for baseball mississippi state it's a must it's huge

[@ShadowGaming-bk3qt]

6:38 I love John Goodman as Fred Flintstone in the Flintstones movie

[@cameronheidelauf9623]

He sure knows how to play Fred flintstone dam well he must have been a biggest fan of the show he must have watched the flintstones growing up and that's how he must have gotten the roll

[@Tustyshellback2010]

Carpetbagger your timing for the Vicksburg portion of the trip is perfectly timed, with Memorial Day being tomorrow. Vicksburg is famous for the civil war battle and siege that occurred in May, June, and July of 1863.

[@StraightThruTheHeart]

This is an amazing trip! A great idea and I hope you can find even more trips to do similar to this. I love all your videos but these are special.

[@smokingfoxx]

A moat was required in Missouri, might be the same in Mississippi(gambling loop hole)

[@jeffthurston9835]

My high school band from Chattanooga marched one day in the World’s Fair in Knoxville.

[@EsmeGrubb]

"I believe Jesus may have had something to do with this barbecue sauce." 😂. It looks good, but I don't eat meat anymore. I loved that the casino had a camera and rig used on Gone with the Wind. That was the late 1930s!!!

[@Frank-jl1ce]

Love this video carpetbagger as it is so entertaining so keep it up dude.

[@Nowhereman10]

@7:43 The scene was indeed deleted from the original theatrical release and then returned to it for later special edition extended video and DVD releases. The chip didn't make a Terminator "evil", it was an inhibitor that prevented them from being too independent from Skynet's control and learning on their own.

[@robinclaassen6462]

The Great River Road Museum at Greenville. I checked their website and it states hours that they are only open Monday thru Friday.. Maybe next time you go through Greenville.

[@knottynumbers44]

My parents took me to the 1970 Worlds Fair in Tokyo, but I was a brand new air breather so I don’t remember it. However, I still think it was cool I was there!

[@bostiebean]

I love the way you worded that 😆

[@joshisdovahkiin84]

Congo is absolutely a movie worth watching Jacob! It's not Earth shattering but it's a fun wild ride worth the trip!

[@lisabaca6793]

Fun video with Kermit the Frog and the Muppets. I know on KZbin they have part of the episode from Muppet babies where they do Star Wars. I also tried finding the original episodes. They do still have Muppet Babies but they are new ones unfortunately but still cute.

[@lizlocher3612]

The Crossroads is one of my all time favorite movies with Steve Vai, one of the MOST ULTIMATE guitar players EVER!!! Thanks for highlighting it!!! The folk art grocery store is too cool n a worthy cause. GREAT video, best series EVER!!! Attaboy, Carpetbagger!!!

[@history_leisure]

Philadelphia is doing an unofficial worlds fair aimed at kids as part of the festivities in 2026, non-sanctioned like the 64-65 NY Fair but probably as close as we'll get

[@awsomehog1]

You nailed the loophole thing. Mississippi law still says gambling floors have to be on water, so all the gambling floors in tunic are on barges in lakes or canals. Other parts of the building are on dry land, but you’ll see there’s a bridge or transition when you cross onto floating parts

[@jollygreg6084]

I was at Expo 92 is Seville. My husband went to Expo 68 in Montreal

[@porcelainthunder2213]

That would be my guess, too. The casino floor actually is floating on the water in the building, so it’s not on dry land.

[@bayfox1235]

Your the best 🚗 carpetbagger love this adventure

[@BethKowalski]

I went to 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, I was 17 and had the best time

[@nataliecrow6533]

Hope you made it to the potty 😅😂 I never knew there was so much cool stuff along the Mississippi River 😮 Loving this video trip ❤ I always loved Kermit & the Muppets. I need to go to that Museum of Puppetry someday!

[@bonniekaye]

13:53 *Looks delicious!*

[@caroltricarico5936]

Yes you must see Congo. Great movie! BTW, Nate never got back to me about his new camera.I went to the 1964-'65 World's Fair in Flushing Meadow PRk in Corona, Queens, NY. It was awesome! Many good memories.

[@Heartfelt07]

So cool man. You take me to places I’ll never get to physically. Thank you sir 😊

[@AwkwardAnxiousJennifer]

I was going to recommend the Spirit of Peoria paddleboat, because I was 99% sure I remembered the paddle wheel being functional when I rode the boat a few years ago, but when I looked it up, I discovered the boat was sold and is no longer in Peoria, Illinois. As best as I can tell, it's currently being renovated in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Anyway, after verifying that the Spirit of Peoria did, in fact, have a functioning paddle wheel, I can at least tell you my suspicion for why so few boats these days have one: As I recall, it was LOUD and WET. You can imagine the great sound and splashing involved with a giant paddle wheel rotating through the water. In the days where everybody wants to take videos of everything they experience, the noise factor is probably one of the biggest reasons that paddle wheels are now decorative rather than functional. That's my guess, anyway.

[@lacrossed55]

Yeah Jacob, you are correct the casinos around STL are like that.

[@JustinAldrich-y7d]

I went to the New York Worlds Fair and it was awesome!

[@juanzapata492]

It’s cool to see Kermit the frog yaaaaaa😊

[@ScottMaiher]

You met Pete from ordinary adventures 😁

[@juanzapata492]

Awesome props😊

[@denisemcleod7926]

Kermit, my Boy! Love him! Great travels Jacob, Thank You

[@Bucky749]

I think legend has it was spin out that would inspire speed racer or it may have bin viva las Vegas i forgot witch one . Maybe what you and Jenny should one day is watch viva las Vegas and spin out and the speed racer movie and few episodes of the original speed racer anime when you guys have free time .

[@jo-annfat-bricks2471]

That is what Sarah Ruth Ashcraft probably said..

[@pickinweedsvintage]

LOVE Kermit the Frog! Great vlog!

[@dukemexplorer481]

I seen all the Elvis Presley movies that Elvis made I say spin out was up there in a way one of his too movies, even tho almost all of his movies is almost pretty similar in a way, always going after a girl. Exception his first movie. My mom was a huge Elvis Presley fan , I think my dad said he went to Tennessee after he did and got in a long line in his funeral cascade Sad all these backdoor places closed but during their heyday must've been pretty popular. In 1984 I was 11 years old just leaving elementary school as 6 grade was the end of elementary school not 5th grade like nowadays is

[@True_KD]

Congo is one of my favorite movies. A must see

[@bonniekaye]

*Extra awesome video!!!* ❤

[@DebHoeft]

I was at the 1982 world's fair in Knoxville Tennessee . It was my senior trip. Yes, I'm that old. LOL

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

As a child I was able to see the Montreal World Fair in 1967. It was very impactful I think the geo dome is still in Montreal

[@lydiapurple]

Oh man I would loveeee to see a worlds fair! My mom went to the 64 one in New York!!

[@retrorewindllc9363]

When u took your 1st bite of that bbq & way u closed your eyes.. I could almost taste it too lol

[@ShadowGaming-bk3qt]

7:20 T-1000 is what you're referring to.

[@tracitaylor1619]

I went to the 1986 worlds fair in Vancouver. I was 12 so was a little young to fully understand the full aspect of what I was experiencing. I remember the buildings and the shows.

[@catholicactionbibleonlyist1813]

Kermit the Frog is the Muppets Character that I like My mom has been to the 1964 world's fair, I have been told that sang it's a small world The Simpsons FTW

[@suemoo22]

I’d be sad too, it’s been a long amazing trip! Safe travels, stay out of Mexico!

[@Nowhereman10]

Looks like the River Road Queen visitor's center was closed because of the Memorial Day weekend.

[@lemn8]

That bird startled me too!

[@XenobiaWolfMoon2]

The River Road Queen Welcome Center is not open on the weekends. It's open Monday Friday 8am-4pm.

[@peanutdapitbull]

Holy jeebus that bird scared the 💩 outta me 😂

[@timewithoutconsequence]

Is it possible to go down the river on one side. Then go back up the other? That could be a cool idea.

[@mikehughes4969]

Jacob, that was an excellent rendition of Old Man River, however it did kick off my Intrusive Thoughts, and I almost burst into song here in the comments section. Again. Also, I consider myself a huge fan of Jim Henson and the Muppets, and I never knew he was from Mississippi, which was properly embarrassing. I'm going to go be ashamed of myself now, and thank you for tolerating my existence.

[@iowa51106]

I’ve followed Jim Henson since Rowlf The Dog was on The Jimmy Dean show. I know, I’m getting old

[@silverghostcat1924]

Me too 😁

[@craigholstine2154]

Good Morning " YA ALL " Jacob the Carpetbagger

[@peterdean9181]

I would never trade my soul to Satin in exchange for something, but I'm surprised HE hasn't at least approached me yet

[@johnchambers8528]

Thanks for another great video on your trip along the Mississippi River. The first stop you made at Hollywood casino had an extensive display of old Hollywood movie items. I have visited the Hollywood casino brand in other locations and they are all themed about Hollywood. They all usually have a display of some kind of Hollywood memories but this one had the most I have see in any other location. As for it not being a true riverboat. You were right about the first casinos about having to be on the water. That was thought it would be more accepted as in the south gambeling on riverboats was a usual pastime. However as the casinos became more accepted most states changed the law and allowed land based larger casinos but usually had to be near the water. I only got to ride on an actual cruising riverboat gambling casino in the early days of legalization in Illinois. Harrah’s had a real boat that cruised the river out of Joliet.

[@zig_zagman]

Kinda surprised you didn't get the brisket, as I seem to recall you as being partial to brisket... Edit: Looks like there was no brisket on the menu from the part of it that you showed in your video. Great video as always! Now I have to go and re-watch The Muppet Movie, after seeing your bit about Kermit. "Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection - the lover's the dreamers and MEEEEEE!"

[@mrleegrantstaton1008]

The casino looks awesome the car from spin out looks awesome and the Batmobile looks awesome the inside of the casino is awsome

[@JasonPrescott-ej4qi]

The casinos in Mississippi are on barges so they are actually on water . If you notice they have signs when you enter the casino to watch your step. The the floor moves up and down with the water level.

[@natewatts4663]

Tamales are a staple in the delta region of Mississippi. Most pizza joints, gas stations, bbq joints have them.

[@draggin89yota13]

The casinos in Tunica are all on water still they just made channels from the river. They are all on barges they just filled the land back in around them

[@jackpopovich7460]

Jacob, I stayed in Hollywood Casino for about 4 days last year at the Hollywood Casino in Tunica, there are a lot of casinos there all have Boats in the water of the Mississippi River, you are on the Mississippi River when you go to any casino in Tunica. The Gold Strike Casino is the highest building in Mississippi, there is Sams Town Casino Tuinica, and the Fitzgerald Casino Tunica a castle theme with the Mississippi right behind it all the casinos are on Mississippi water. you found my favorite place there are more casinos around there like Horseshow Casino, Isle Casino, and Jack Pot Casino, all on the Mississippi River. Great place to spend a few days Casino Hopping and Gold Strike and Fitz both have Buffets.

[@doctorwho03]

There's a set of Coffindaffer crosses at the Decatur Lighthouse Assembly of God outside Decatur IN. 😉👍

[@gilbertgranby9339]

The River Road Queen also serves as the Welcome Center of Washington Co. and is a State Gov't Office. 😎✌️

[@Adventuresofdaleanddiane]

You showed the Batmobile car at the car museum. Diane got to sit in the one at Springfield route 66 car museum on her birthday .
