Yep! I made a huge mistake in mistaking Will Rogers for Roy Rogers. In my defense they are both cowboys named Rogers. What is more surprising is how few people called me out for accidentally calling Napoleon Bonaparte “Napoleon Dynamite”.
Who is joe?
lol thats awesome! Love your videos Jacob!!!
The Carpetbagger Please, God! It’s Josephine ‘too- sew’, not ‘too- sawed’.
i thought you said Dynamite as a joke.
Goodness. We understand!
Florence Nightingale is one of my great aunts on my dad’s side. Awesome!
wow!! an amazing woman of her time....and more times
Love your dry sense of humor as you take us along tour.
When the museum was on the corner of Aviles & King St.
The artist used to sculpt figures in the front window
Will Rogers' horse was not Trigger. You got him mixed up with Roy Rogers. Easy mistake to make. Both were iconic though. Hard to say who was more but I might lean more towards Will Rogers.
RhettyforFun As an adult, Will Rogers’ favorite horse was named Soapsuds - as a child, his favorite was Comanche. He had other lesser- known horses as an adult.
Jon R. The Rogers also had their German Shepherd Dog, Bullet, and Buttermilk, Dale’s horse, mounted ( they are not “ stuffed”) - all 3 were on display at their Victorville museum and then at the Branson museum. The TV station that bought Trigger at about croon also bought Bullet and perhaps Buttermilk.
Sometimes I think Jacob just makes some of these funny "bloopers" to see if anyone is watching cause there is nothing Internet people love more than correcting mistakes. LOL
will rogers horse was named buttercup.
@@FlamingoKicker It's a good tactic!😉
“Hold onto your children and pregnant ladies...” 😂
I laugh now every time you make a bee-line to the smashed penny machine LOL
Good opportunity to segue into a free plug for your own merch. 😀
@@BennyLlama39 did you mean Segway?
I just randomly found you and now im addicted to watching these videos
I like those trivia signs. Cool vintage look/font.
Teddy was the best roosevelt
Most of these pieces are absolutely amazing, but then there is the rare piece like Princess Dianna which IMHO looks nothing at all like her.
That's a cool wax museum.
And here we have Napoleon Dynomite. I can't stop laughing 😂
I've only been to Potter's once...sometime during the 80's,on a family trip to St. Augustine. As I recall,except for a figure of Elvis in an iconic spangled jumpsuit,the museum was all historical figures. While I still have the brochure from back then,the pictures I took then....like every other photo I took prior to the late 80's...have mysteriously vanished.
“Napoleon Dynamite” 🙈
lol
Dang!
😂 I love that you called him Napoleon DYNAMITE!
Such a Good Video. I really enjoy that you stop and take the time to let us see what your seeing. You don't rush through and I really appreciate that. I could watch your video's all day long. Thanks Liz from California
Michelangelo: One of Europe's most influential Renaissance artists, imortal for his work at the Sixtine Chapel and the incredible beautiful marble statues he created...
USA: Look it's the guy who inspired the Ninja Turtles! Kawabunga!
:-D I LOVE you guys! You are so much fun, to say per se.
Internet Kurator It's Sistine Chapel
@@danieldietrich9969 It is named after Pope Sixtus IV ( paradox name), so in German it is written in the Latin inspired form. In modern Italian they say indeed "s", sorry I should have checked the official English spelling.
I live 30 minutes away from there and it’s one of my favorites in the town . I love going to walk around the town and eat ice cream
Great to see you back in a wax museum Jacob! The past wax museum visits you've done are some of my favorites
Thank you for sharing these places because you allow me to visit places that I don't have the opportunity to visit!
Being a huge fan of wax museums, I enjoyed your tour.
I absolutely love your channel. Just the right amount if talking. An you learn alil as well. Binge watching of course.
I live in St Augustine and have been to this Museum several times. Its always been a great and fun experience.
Are you still here?! I live in town! You should go on the historic ghost tours. Definitely check out the Spanish hospital too. It’s not far from the city square.
Dear Carpetbagger. At the 28th second of the video, notice the green trolley in the background. That trolley driver is me. You couldnt hear me because you was busy talking to the camera (which is ok of course), but I was talking about you right there and then to my trolley guests. Yes! I recognized you when I saw you standing in front of Burger Buckets restaurant next to the Potters Wax Museum. I even pointed at you. I spoke real loud in hopes that you would hear me. I said to my trolley guests "omg folks. To my right is one of my favorite youtubers. His name is Jacob. His RUclips channel is called Carpetbagger. He goes all around the nation to all sorts of strange,curious,unique spots, roadside spots,etc. I love his videos". Yeah dude!! It was awesome. I wish you heard me and pointed the camera at me! :)
Let me know next time you're in town. I can get you in most of the attractions for free here in St. Augustine so that you can make more videos. :)
Thanks for the vid! Would enjoy seeing you explore museums in other countries such as the UK, France and Spain if you ever get the opportunity to. Would be interesting to see your take on the older aspects of history and other cultures. Keep up the good work! Xx
You do a tremendous job. Love your almost daily surprises. Even your mistakes are part of what makes you great! Keep up the wonderful work.
In 1966 I was the youngest guide (17) who ever worked at Potter's Wax Museum. I gave several tours daily, commenting on the lives of between 250 and 300 historical figures.
I love St. Augustine. I’ve passed the wax museum a lot. We have a trip planned in the near future. I will definitely go on this trip. I’m a wax museum enthusiast. Thanks for the tour! I was fortunate to have toured Rock Circus in London while it was still open. A few videos of it are on RUclips.
“Here we have Britney.. leave her alone I guess.” I laughed at that
"Hanged/Hung" is like "lay/lie." When someone is hanged, it's always "hanged," never "hung." Objects are hung, people are hanged. Same with lay/lie. "Lay" means to place an object on a surface. "Lie" means to recline.
Christine C. That bugs me too.
Good of you to point out as the misuse needs correction.
Here's one that I have a problem with: pleaded, pled. It's pleaded.
I use to like wax museums until I was scared half to death as child in one. I've tried going through them since then, but, I'm freaked out waiting for that live person to talk to me or something. I make my husband go first...LOL
Had fun viewing the wax museum, from a safe distance...Haha! ☺☺👍🧚🏼♀️
Love love the wax museums. Thanks 😊
I did not know there was a statute of limitations on hanging. Good info!!!!That Captain Marta story was too creepy as well!!!!
That was that a gnarly looking Princess Diana!
Ever since this whole COVID-19 madness began, I've had to be an armchair traveler; your videos are awesome! I'd love to see these places in real life someday.
It would be cool if they did like a wax figures of RUclips
I remember wanting to go there. never got to get to see it though, until now
Teddy was more of a badass than his cousin.
when he said Cesar I automatically thought of little Caesar pizza and now I want one 😂!
I share the same birthday as Orville Wright, I find that really cool 😁
Roy Rodgers's horse was Trigger! Not Will Rodgers! lol
I was thinking about that too lol
Thank you so much for sharing this 😌
I just heard the Napoleon dynamite faux pas!!! That was funny!!! You got Josephine Bonaparte correct though!!! Attaboy, Carpetbagger!!!!
Thanks again for the wonderful videos you do ........I would never be able to do what you do for all of us.......your awesome ....
You are = you're.
Roy Rogers Trigger the Wonder Horse is located in a building across from the Branson Museum in the state of Missouri.
At this time the building is not open to the public, not sure if or when it might open.
Someone that stopped here told me Trigger is now back on display at the RFD-TV headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska.
@@applevalleyhillbillygarden1093 that is news to me, thanks for the update !!!
Thanks for this tour! I loved it. I’m 52. The only place I’ve been in my whole life is Gatlinburg Tn. And remember going in a wax museum,,I was probably 8 or something,,really can’t remember,,,but it’s sad that that is the only place I’ve been lol!
Love the detail in the faces!
sweet!! love wax musames from a far! they look to real in person lol ! man Jacob you got it made traveling and seeing all these amazing things!!
Dude I love that you're at St Augustine. You're in my area again! Love it.
Will Rogers famous line, never met a man I didn’t like. Had nothing to do with Roy Rogers horse trigger
You’re not going to find Will Rogers horse Trigger because he didn’t have one. Now, Roy Rogers did! Will Rogers is a legend here in Ft Worth! My favorite Roosevelt is Teddy! Not a fan of the other. Either way, I love hearing your commentary when you go to wax museums! Especially since everything is off the cuff!
I related to Will Rogers on my father’s side through adoption. My paternal grandfather was adopted, but still really cool.
I'm really impressed by the quality of most of the figures at this place. Some of the wax museums you've been to have multiple "off" or outright weird looking figures, but the ones here are really good aside from poor Princess Diana and a couple of others.
I'm really happy this video came up in my recommended. I love wax museums! I collect and trade postcards, and I have a really great little collection of vintage postcards from defunct wax museums. I saw your video of the Louis Tussaud's museum in Dallas and went there a year ago. Subscribed now :)
They look so life like .
Those wax figures always freaked me out in real life. Disney and old type history museums.
Enjoyed replay 😍 thanks 😊
Very good show. Thanks for more in-depth views if items on display. Some likenesses are bril while others not so much. Thanks. Frm south africa.
Best roosevelt will always be Eleanor! Ur hilarious btw!
I am still amazed on how well your camera works, in the low light.
I love watching your channel jacob. Liverpool uk.👍
Good one Jacob 😎👍🏻
You are awsome thank you for showing us were was that again p
Davey Crocket was kinda cute...I'm serious
At some point, a 24-ft (7 m) replica of a rearing Trigger was produced to sit atop the Roy Rogers Museum in Victorville. The 1,300-lb (600 kg) replica could be seen from the freeway and served as a landmark until the museum closed and moved to Branson. When the fiberglass replica of Trigger was being made, Rogers was approached by the owners of the Denver Broncos. Rogers allowed another statue to be made and then broke the mold. "Bucky the Bronco", Trigger's twin, stands above the south scoreboard of the Denver Broncos' stadium.[7]
After the closing of the Victorville museum in 2009, its contents were placed at public auction on July 14-15, 2010, at Christie's auction house in New York City.[8] Trigger's preserved taxidermy remains sold for $266,500 to television channel RFD-TV, which plans to start a Western museum.[9] Bob Tinsley, a Victorville developer who had built Roy Rogers' home in nearby Apple Valley, bought the fiberglass replica in April 2010. Tinsley's plan is to make the statue a part of historic Apple Valley Village. He explained, "I just couldn't see letting him go anywhere else."[
That’s not Kramer, that’s Chevy Chase in his iconic Clark Griswold role from “Christmas Vacation”
It is Kramer..... When I lived in St. Augustine, I watched it being made
I loved this wax museum. It was positively old fashioned. Would much prefer visiting this than MadameTussaud's in London.
Love these wax museums!
Aww it's ok carpetbagger 😊
My late Aunt Elsie live just above Saint Augustine, in a little town known as Crestview!
Hi Jacob, thanks so much for sharing.😃🖐🏼 I like Teddy Roosevelt better. just because I thought he was CUTE‼️😂🤣😆❤️♥️💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙❣️
Lol Napoleon Dynamite
This is the comment i was looking for! Thought one caught it. Lol
Museums are always interesting.
Very nice replicas, wonder how long it takes to do one of them. Thank you for sharing and enjoy the rest of your week.
Were you...baiting us by repeatedly calling him Frankenstein? Also, Roy Rogers makes for a tasty drink.
12:11 idk y but he looks like the conductor from the polar express, probably just the mustache and glasses lol
Beethoven is my favorite classical composer.Tony has spoken.
Cool stuff man.
I went here about 10 years ago at the previous location and while I was there a wax figure out of nowhere fell to the ground. It was so random and nobody had touched it so I think it was a gHOST!!! Lol
The one you didn't know was Jimmy Durante
That was awesome! Thanks
Hi Jacob awesome wax museum👍🏻
Napoleon dynamite was a movie, to your justification!!!
Hyde looked like my friend Lou on a good day.Thanks
Along with Roy Rodgers silver dollar Cadillac and taxidermy horse can be found in Victorville California.....your welcome....Peace n Puff
A gentle correction, will Rogers was not the cow boy that had the horse called Trigger - that was Roy Rogers another cowboy from the movies. Will Rogers was a country style philosopher and humourist. Roy Rogers that had Trigger the horse was the singing cowboy with he is wife Dale Evans!
is it just me, or does the severed head of "extra" Ben Franklin look more like Bob Newhart? lol!
Trigger is at the Will Rodgers and Dale Evans Museum in Victorville, CA.
Teddy Roosevelt is my favourite :) I'm British and don't know much about your presidents but have ways admired Teddy - so much so, my husband and I are going to name our baby after him :)
HeidiDepp1989 ..... why
The rooservelts are my two top presidents, followed by Ike Eisenhower. i couldn't possibly choose between them.
Well, thit wassss a grat vlog tah day 😁😉😂
So when I was about 11 my folks took me to Potter's for my birthday since we lived so close to St. Augustine,us being in Jacksonville.It was the first location Potter's ever resided in,which was huge and quite elaborate.We were the only people in there that day looking around,when a thunderstorm blew up and prompted a power outage.It was 1980 and it was such a deliciously creepy moment.I wouldn't have missed it for the world.My mother,however,would probably disagree.(The employees came with flashlights and escorted us to the exit,with complimentary passes for next visit,they weren't going to let us become the next exhibit...)
Thanks the potters in Ga
The Delta Music Museum in the downtown historic district, Ferriday, Lousiana. You can put it on your to-do list...if you haven't already
Good morning. I would pick Teddy Roosevelt as my favorite of the two.
I just found your sight..I have seen you with other vloggers , but I’m liking your voice and delivery much better..please, please do not mention the monorail if you go to Disney..lol.. enjoyed this very much..👍
You ever plan on visiting Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah? There is a famous grave of Little Gracie Watson and Johnny Mercer
Hey Carpetbagger! You're in my town! I live in St Augustine and love the downtown area but it has gotten so overcrowded in the last few years so most locals don't spend a lot of time there.
