HOOK (first 3 seconds spoken):
He removed 15 bloodied coins from his body during the Battle of Gettysburg.

FULL SCRIPT:
He removed 15 bloodied coins from his body during the Battle of Gettysburg. You see, back then, loose gunpowder was rammed into the barrel with a long stick, and almost anything could be added on top if the soldier ran out of ammo. And when the trigger was pulled, it ignited the gunpowder, sending metal flying in all directions. So, even though the gun was designed to shoot bullets, almost anything could be turned into ammo.
