00:00The new firework freeze from 5-Hour Energy really makes me think about summer.
00:04And you know what I love about summer, Chuck?
00:06What?
00:06Freedom.
00:09Yeah, me too. Freedom from pants.
00:11Jesus, Chuck, put some pants on.
00:13What? It's summer.
00:21Well, you know what? You can use all that money to buy Colonel Sanders' home.
00:27What?
00:27What? KFC founder Colonel Sanders' home and memorabilia is going up for auction in Kentucky.
00:34I have been here.
00:37You have? Of course you have.
00:38Parents took me here.
00:39Oh, wow.
00:41WLWT has the story.
00:43He only reached the rank of private, but he was one of the most famous colonels ever.
00:49Colonel Harlan Sanders, and he wasn't known for military service, but the food service.
00:55And now, you can own more than a piece of his chicken.
00:59You can own a piece of the legend.
01:01His look is more than legendary.
01:04It's a logo.
01:05So I don't care where you are in the world.
01:07You know Colonel Sanders.
01:09KFC is a global brand built on a bow tie.
01:13It doesn't get much more iconic than the bow tie.
01:17No doubt about it.
01:18Yeah, this is the colonel.
01:20And 11 spicy secrets.
01:23This is the book of secrets here.
01:24It is.
01:25We think this will be the biggest item in the auction.
01:28And now from the closet of Colonel Harlan Sanders, a field general in the fast food wars, some of those
01:35items are going up for sale.
01:36I love stories behind auctions, and no other auction I've done has ever had this much of a story behind
01:42it.
01:42Bill Minish, owner of the Minish Group, will run the auction of the colonel's most prized possessions.
01:49They came from his home.
01:50These were things he used every single day.
01:53It doesn't get much more personal than a watch that he had on his wrist every day of his life.
01:57No, for me, it's watches, the rings, the buttons he wore on his lapel.
02:01It doesn't get any more personal than those.
02:02Minish calls the colonel the first celebrity chef.
02:07This is Colonel Sanders' personal cutlery set that it's in a leather case meant to be taken on the road,
02:13which is exactly what he did with it.
02:15That's heavy.
02:16Oh, quality.
02:18And this is what really changed everything.
02:21There's the pressure cooker he also traveled with, a game changer in the speed of all fast food.
02:28His Bible, his Kentucky colonel certificate.
02:31This put the colonel in Colonel Sanders.
02:33No doubt about it.
02:34We can become Kentucky colonels?
02:36Those secrets.
02:36The shocker for everybody is that it's a clip-on.
02:40Not just a bow tie, but the item expected to generate the most interest.
02:45A 1964 planner in the colonel's handwriting, including a page so secret we can't even show you.
02:54Listing.
02:55What's wrong, Lisa?
02:57What's wrong?
02:58What is it?
02:59I don't care about any of this.
03:00I know you don't.
03:01You don't want the colonel's secret stuff?
03:03No, I just, his chicken's good.
03:04That's about it.
03:05I only care about the chicken, not his bow tie.
03:08I want his rings.
03:09I'll take his watch.
03:11There you go.
03:12He's knives.
03:12We're all in, Lisa.
03:13I want his suspenders.
03:14I want to live in his house.
03:16Leaven, herbs, and spices.
03:19Now, we can't tell you that that's a secret recipe.
03:21I'm not here to say that at all.
03:22But when the buyer owns it, I'll let them decide what they think it is.
03:26If that's not enough, maybe you'd like to buy the Graceland of fast food, the colonel's mansion, Blackwood, and the
03:34Claudia Sanders dinner house just next door.
03:37Still operating, still busy.
03:40The next chapter about to be written in the legacy of a man who revolutionized the face of fast food.
03:47With his own image, a bow tie, and a list of secrets.
03:52I can't believe you've been there.
03:54Where haven't you been?
03:55That's the question.
03:56You've been everywhere.
03:57You went to Colonel Sanders' house.
03:59Yeah.
04:00He's been to Graceland.
04:01Well, yeah, a lot of people have been there.
04:04Well, I'm just saying.
04:04This is the Graceland of fried chicken.
04:06Yeah, it is.
04:07It really is.
04:08Did you eat in that restaurant?
04:09Yes.
04:10The whole family did.
04:12Graceland.
04:13Yeah, Graceland.
04:16Oh, my goodness.
04:17Graceland is a perfect name for it.
04:19I love it.
04:19Welcome to Graceland.
04:22Good job, Al.
04:23Yeah.
04:24Yeah.
04:25You're taking that watch now.
04:26It was like a fancy sit-down restaurant, but, of course, they served KFC.
04:31So are they making KFC chicken in there?
04:34Is that all it is?
04:35Yeah, but they got, like, rolls.
04:36You got fries.
04:37Look at all the old people.
04:38Oh, wow.
04:38It's all.
04:39There's no one young in there.
04:40You would have seen Wee David somewhere over there.
04:42Yeah, look at the guy literally on the left up in the top.
04:45He is ready to die at any second.
04:48It doesn't look very fancy.
04:50It's not fancy.
04:51No.
04:53No.
04:53I thought you said it was fancy.
04:54Well, fancy from the outside.
04:55Yeah.
04:57And then on the inside, it just looks like.
04:59Oh, and they have these amazing corn muffins.
05:01They're still serving the same thing.
05:03Probably.
05:04I think so.
05:04Probably it hasn't changed, right?
05:06Listen, if you try and change something, these old people freak out.
05:09Where are the muffins?
05:10What's in that book?
05:12Oh.
05:12I think that book is BS.
05:14You do?
05:14What did he say about it?
05:16Yeah.
05:17We said it.
05:18We can't say what it is.
05:19But could you lie like that?
05:21The thing is.
05:22There's something really special.
05:23No, they said there's 11 herbs and spices in there.
05:26But he can't guarantee that's the recipe.
05:28That's the recipe.
05:28And his hit list.
05:29It's not.
05:29Yeah.
05:30His hit list.
05:31He killed one man.
05:32At least one that we know of.
05:35I'll just say this.
05:36I think there's no way that they let the actual recipe out, even though I think people have
05:44figured it out by now.
05:46Yeah, they have.
05:47There's dupes all over the internet.
05:48You just look it up.
05:49I don't know.
05:51I still feel like he'd be rolling in his grave if he thought his real recipe got out.
05:57You'd be haunted by him.
05:58For sure.
05:59You'd be haunted by the colonel.
06:00That's scary.
06:00It's a scary ghost.
06:01Oh, yeah.
06:02It's not great.
06:02I always thought he had Asian eyes.
06:05What?
06:06I always.
06:06No joke.
06:07We David thought he was Asian.
06:09Huh?
06:09Like I thought he was an Asian man that had gone like white.
06:13What do you mean?
06:13Like white hair.
06:14What do you mean Asian eyes?
06:15Had white hair.
06:16Asian eyes and went white?
06:18An Asian man who went white.
06:20Okay, look.
06:20Can't you see her?
06:22No.
06:23He just looks old.
06:24Looks like a Southern man.
06:25I mean, his eyes are smaller.
06:29He's got little Asian eyes.
06:35The colonel.
06:36What?
06:37Maybe that's why he's so popular in Asian countries.
06:40They also think that?
06:42They also think that?
06:43The colonel is an old Asian man.
06:44He's got little Asian eyes.
06:47I've never heard anybody say what you just said.
06:52Turn around Asian eyes.
06:53It's time for a Dave Hunter knowledge bomb.
06:57What?
06:57He's Asian?
06:58He has Asian eyes.
07:00That's not a knowledge bomb.
07:01Wild imagination.
07:03Turn around Kentucky Friday.
07:08The guy has got some crazy Asian eyes.
07:12And I see this mall tonight.
07:16I can see him kind of squinting.
07:20Those are Dave's thoughts.
07:24We don't really like your friends.
07:27That was a Dave Hunter knowledge bomb.
07:31Hashtag mind blowing.
07:34Just take a look for yourself.
07:36All my mind's intact.
07:38Yeah.
07:39Asian eyes.
07:40Yeah.
07:41He's got those Asian eyes.
07:43Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo.
07:45Rest in peace.
07:47R.I.P.
07:47The Colonel.
07:49Even for you, Dave.
07:50That was wild.
07:52She also died recently.
07:54She did too.
07:54Yes.
07:55Rest in peace to her as well.
07:56Okay.
07:56Let's take a break.
07:57Okay.
07:58Regroup.
07:58Come back at it.
08:00He's got little A.
08:02When we do.
08:02He's got little A.
08:02He's got little A.
08:03He's got little A.
08:05He's got little A.
08:05He's got little A.
08:06He's got little A.
08:06He's got little A.
08:06He's got little A.
08:06He's got little A.
