Hedy Llamar Emileigh

Recording. Oh no, I'm drinking tea, it's not hot anymore, but, yeah. I was about to go, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, shake that funny into you. I'm ready when you are, okay? Okay. Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. That's awesome. Was this on Netflix, because I want to watch it. Really? Okay. Well, I'll look at it. I'll look it up. Yeah, she sounds fascinating. Yay. Are you ready? Okay. You know, George, I heard from my ex-husband that the Germans know how to intercept and block the signal coming from torpedoes. They're able to evade torpedoes that way. Hmm. I have this idea about switching radio frequencies back and forth so it's almost encrypted, but I'm kind of struggling on how to really conceptualize it. Oh, George, yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. We can finally start sinking Nazi U-boats. Quick, let's send this to the Inventors Council in D.C. Hello, yes, U.S. Navy? My name is Hedy Lamarr, and I have an idea that can help us in the war. I literally hate the U.S. Navy right now. That's amazing. Oh, my God. Oh, my gosh. She can do all trades. She can do all the things. Oh, she's so pretty. Mm-hmm. Okay. That means it's a good movie. Just because a woman's having a good time. Oh, I'm sure. Oh, young and rebellious, it sounds like. Ew. Oh, that's a lot better. Okay. Woo! Even more of an ew. Ugh. That sneaky devil. I love her. That's a little obsessive. Wow. That's rude. Oh. Mm-hmm. Question. Did she have any kids with that first husband? Okay. Just curious. Oh. I'm bad at names. Do you see my eyes glaze over? I was like, oh. Oh. What a mood. You can't just walk up and be like, I changed my mind. No, he's going to look at me. I love that. Look at me. I've arrived. So she probably had a hard time even knowing what she was saying. Yeah. Mysterious. Yeah. I don't know, though. Yeah. She probably treated her like a queen. Oh. Well, never mind. I take back everything I said. Mm-hmm. Oh. Oh. That's so smart. Wow. What is that? No. Mm-hmm. Oh. Oh. Oh. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's cute. Yeah. Oh. I love that. Oh, no. Oh. Oh. Oh. Right. Oh. I'm sorry. Bad boy of music? Why? Why that, though? Why? He's a bad boy. Mm-hmm. Aw. Mm-hmm. Right. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Very smart. Yeah. That's incredible. How many... How many ships could have been saved if they had just used the invention the pretty lady made? I mean, why... I hate people sometimes. Mm-hmm. Wow. Holy crap. That's incredible. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, I'm sure it's a lot easier when you are, like, MGM or... What's another one? Like, Lionsgate or Warner Brothers or something like that who have the big platform. And especially in that time, it's not like they could Google these movies. It's not like they could just go find them anywhere. Where the resources are there now, she probably would be extremely successful nowadays. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Mm-hmm. Holy... Holy shit! Good for her. No shit. I didn't know that. That was a good movie. Damn. Wow. Yeah. Right. Oh, that's terrifying. Yay! Yeah. Mm. Yeah. Is it still, like, in operation? Oh. Mm-hmm. Of course. Oh. No, why didn't she just send word of what happened? I mean, things like that happen. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It sounds very familiar. I'm sure... Right. Mm-hmm. Oh, no. Oh! Oh, my heart's breaking for all those patients that... Oh, no! Well, yeah. Oh, my God. How old were the kids at this point? Did they say? Yeah. Okay. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. No. Oh, okay. Hold on. I Googled a picture of her later years because I want to see. Yeah, she doesn't even look like herself. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. It sounds like a brilliant, beautiful woman that was just done dirty by the industry. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Right. Yeah. Okay. Okay. And they weren't paying, or were they? And what year is this, 62? Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Because he didn't know. Right. Okay. What assholes. Holy. You're right. Oh, my God. Yeah. It's over my head. Yeah. That breaks my heart for her that all of that work that she did just for them to be like, you're too pretty to be smart, we're not going to use this. But in about 20 years when you can't do anything about it, we're going to use it. Yeah. And protect your shit, people, if you... Yeah. Right. Yeah. Oh, my God. And what... When did she die? She was living on $300 a month in the 90s. That is not near enough. Good. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Oh. She had no money to survive. Yeah. Really? Nice. I love that. I love that so much. Yeah. Yeah. Mine are goofy. Yeah. I mean, unfortunately, a lot of history is sad. The most we could do is try to present it in the most lighthearted way possible. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's wild. Yeah. It is 3 a.m. Oh, that's incredible. I love, I love seeing stuff like that where it's like, you know, the finished product is awesome. I want to see where your brain was at when you were making this thing, when you were thinking of this. Show me your brainstorming. Show me the scribbles that you wrote on the napkin at the restaurant because something hit you. Like, show me that stuff, the raw stuff. Okay. What? Oh, my God. I hate that for her. Good. Yeah. Delt her a better hand. Yeah, seriously, she probably wouldn't have been living off of $300 a damn month if she had just gotten the money for her invention, any of the inventions. Really, I'm sure she did more than one. That's, yeah. I love this woman. Exactly, 100%. Yeah. Yay. Well, she had, at least in the beginning, the best attitude where she was just like, I know I'm pretty. I know I'm smart. And I'm just going to be a badass. And I love that. Yeah. No, none of it was her fault. The pills that she was given in the industry and then she went to this doctor, which you want, which you can't, but you want to be able to trust a doctor, a licensed medical professional, and he's giving them meth. Yeah. Right. They're sad. And unfortunately, there were a lot of doctors doing stuff like that during that time. Like the women that were being told that they just had bouts of hysteria and then they would just go, like, to a doctor and the doctor would give them an orgasm and they were miraculously a lot happier. Hmm, funny. Medicine's wild, man. Cocaine and orgasm for everybody. I mean, I hate that you're not wrong. Don't do drugs. Don't do drugs. Oh, I'm pretty sure it made people want to do drugs. It also gave me an unrealistic expectation of how many times a stranger was going to come up to me in a trench coat and offer me free drugs. No one has done that yet. Yeah, I thought it was going to be every day. People were just going to pop out of the alleyways and just, do you want some drugs, kids? Okay, bye. That was a good one, too.
