Poor Little Fool.

42
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:52.319
I used to play around arcation my call.

43
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:59.719
That little girl dude, that I would fall the food

44
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:09.360
Oh yeah, well, let's see what happened on August the fourth.

45
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.280
It was called the Devil's Wine. Corks would pop out

46
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:17.199
bottles of explode. It was sixteen ninety three. A French monk.

47
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.479
His name was Don Perignon. Yeah, he advantage Champagne. Happy birthday.

48
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:25.120
United States Coast Guard seventeen ninety the United States. They

49
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.879
were needed for an arms and custom enforcement service, so

50
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.639
the United States Cutter Service began. Nineteen fifteen, changed the

51
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:35.120
name to the Coast Guard. Nineteen sixteen, the United States

52
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.960
agreed with Denmark they were gonna give Denmark twenty five

53
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.360
million dollars in gold for the Virgin Islands. That sounds

54
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.520
like a good deal to me. The US the Denmark

55
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.400
the gold, and they could control of the Virgin Islands

56
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.800
in one year. But hotly they called the Virgin Island

57
00:03:50.840 --> 00:04:02.919
and somebody already owned them. Lostic love dust Stik. It

58
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:07.439
was today. In twenty fifteen, they had on Twitter that

59
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.759
Miss Piggy and Kermittha Frog announced jointly they had broken

60
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.080
up for good. They were no longer a couple. I

61
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:14.680
checked and they still are broken up.

62
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:21.920
Jokejke joked cop joked Coke Joke Show dish shimth day.

63
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:23.040

64
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:24.519

00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:47.920
waited in line to go up and down on it.

73
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.600
Then they moved it to that Manhattan entrance of the

74
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.319
Brooklyn Bridge. Jesse died at eighty five years old in

75
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:56.600
nineteen forty seven. A very very rich man.

76
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:08.920
I see true seventh green. I've seen him blue following

77
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:17.120
into you, and I think to myself, what I wonder for.

78
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:21.480
Louis Armstrong he was born in New or only has

79
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.680
a nineteen oh one. Now most people call him Louis. Yeah,

80
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:25.600
he preferred Louis though.

81
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:26.319
Now.

82
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:28.360
He got famous playing the trumpet, but he had a

83
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.600
really distinctive gravelly voice made him really famous when he

84
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.680
did a scat singing. He married his fourth wife in

85
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:38.720
nineteen forty two. Now when he got way back when

86
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.639
before he even got married, his one of his older

87
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:43.600
sisters had died and she had a three year old

88
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.399
boy who had brain damage. Yeah, Luis, he actually raised

89
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.839
that boy his whole life. Well, he married that fourth

90
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.399
wife in nineteen forty two. He died from heart attack

91
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:54.120
in nineteen seventy one, a month before his seventieth birthday.

92
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.160
I get this. He had wore a star of David

93
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.680
his entire adult life. Yeah, he was Catholic, ted Catholic

94
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.120
now that, but he did it to honor a Jewish family.

95
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.399
They'd taken him off the streets when he was seven

96
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:05.839
years old.

97
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:06.360
Yep.

98
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.040
They even gave him money to buy His very first

99
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.240
instrument was a clarinet. Why's the beef?

100
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.000
Some Hamburger places give you a lot less female, a

101
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:15.759

more bean and less varney.

107
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:30.680
I don't think that was Clara Peller. She was born

108
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.519
in Chicago in nineteen oh two. Now she worked as

109

00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.879
biggest catchphrases in advertising history. Now they paid Claire at

115
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.639

116
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:55.040
