42
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.439
It was called the Devil's Wine. Corks would pop out

43
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:15.360
bottles of explode. It was sixteen ninety three a French monk.

agreed with Denmark they were gonna give Denmark twenty five

50
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.560
million dollars in gold for the Virgin Islands. That sounds

51
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:44.680
like a good deal to me. The US the Denmark

52
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:46.599
the gold, and they get control of the Virgin Islands

53
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.000

77
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.519
people call him Louis. Yeah, he preferred Louis though. Now

78
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.519
he got famous playing the trump, but he had a

79
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.759
really distinctive gravelly voice made him really famous when he

80
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.879
did a scat singing. He married his fourth wife in
