Women Who Built The World

Windshield wipers didn’t always exist, Monopoly didn’t come from the person most people think, and a Hollywood star helped inspire tech that echoes through modern communications. We jump off from Women’s History Month and start naming names, because “history” gets a lot more real when you connect it to the stuff you touch every day and the rights you assume were inevitable.

We talk through women who moved civil rights and public life forward, then pivot into women in science, medicine, and space: Marie Curie’s Nobel-winning research, Rosalind Franklin’s role in understanding DNA, Jane Goodall’s groundbreaking fieldwork, and Katherine Johnson’s calculations that helped make missions possible. Along the way, we keep coming back to recognition, because credit is not just ego, it shapes money, jobs, textbooks, and who gets remembered.

Then we get into the inventions and innovations hiding in plain sight: Kevlar, windshield wipers, flat-bottom paper bags, early computing languages, and the ideas that made big systems work. We also hit the uncomfortable parts, like medical ethics and the ways women’s breakthroughs have been taken, minimized, or credited to someone else. We close out with culture and comedy, because influence shows up in songs, TV, and the way a joke can change what people say out loud.

If you like smart history with real-world connections and a little chaos, queue this one up, share it with a friend, and leave a review. Who’s the most overlooked woman innovator on your list?

SPEAKER_03 0:26

Yeah, hell yeah. Right. It's March, right? It's almost the end of March. Yeah, go to April. We're going to go into April. April.

SPEAKER_04 0:32

Yeah, March, April. Think about it. March, April.

SPEAKER_03 0:35

And it's going to go downhill from there.

Why Women’s History Month Matters

SPEAKER_04 0:36

No. No, no. It's supposed to get warmer, so it's going to be nice out. So I don't mind warms. Yeah. Yeah. You're not going to hear everything and complain about that it's, oh my God, it's too hot. No, no, no. I'm going to say, oh, it's hot, but I'd rather it than cold. True. Just saying.

SPEAKER_03 0:49

Hey, Louis Lou, talk to us. This is Women's History Month. Is it? March? Yeah. Oh no shit. Celebrate. It's Women's History Month, and I think we should absolutely, you know, do invent women inventor. Right. The women inventors.

SPEAKER_02 1:03

Inventors.

SPEAKER_01 1:04

I don't know why I said it like that.

SPEAKER_03 1:06

Inventor.

Civil Rights And Political Firsts

SPEAKER_04 1:07

What is wrong with you, man? What the fuck? That is hilarious. All right, all right. So talk to me, Lou, who you got first? I don't know. What do you got first? I got first. All right. So the women who shaped uh these women will shaped uh laws, rights, and society of itself. Society itself. So we start off with uh Rosa Parks. She did the Montgomery bus boycott. Not an inventor, but you know, it was like because it's women's month, you know, that uh Susan B. Anthony, uh key figure in women's rights, the women's rights to vote. Eleanor Roosevelt helped draft the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and so all that kind of good stuff. So women have had a lot more say in our uh growth.

Women In Science And Space

SPEAKER_03 1:46

And having more, and I'm hoping so. I hope that's the case. Yeah. Get it all up in there. Yep. Yep, yep, yep. Which one you got? Uh so who else we got here? Science, medicine, and discovery, the expanded of humanity news. Let's see, podcast. Okay. Uh Marie Curry pioneered radioactivity research. Two Nobel Prizes. Rosalind.

SPEAKER_01 2:06

Two Nobel Prizes.

SPEAKER_04 2:07

Yes, two.

SPEAKER_01 2:07

Awesome. Yes, serious. Two. So does what is it for?

SPEAKER_04 2:10

Does it say which ones they are? For pioneering radioactive. Oh, but it doesn't say what it was that she had.

SPEAKER_03 2:15

Uh why don't you want you while we're while we're ripping them off talking about it?

SPEAKER_01 2:21

Talking about an extra device.

SPEAKER_03 2:22

You don't. Yeah, no, no. I got it over. No, I got you. I get it. I get it. Anyway. So yeah, I mean it's like when we went. Let's see, hang out. Rosalind Franklin, crucial to discovering DNA and structure. Jane Goodall, Global Nushnize, rev revolutionized understanding of chimpanzees. Yes. But you knew that one. Yes, I did. That's about the mistress. Yeah, was it Gorilla's in the mist? Yeah, or something. That was a crazy movie, man. It was good though. And that was uh Zagoni Waiver, by the way. I remember her doing the movie. Uh Catherine Johnson calculated traject trajectories for space and missions. Okay, uh there's a lot women do a lot more than we thought and just sweeping the floor back in the day. Right, exactly.

SPEAKER_04 3:07

And I said it like that. I said it rude, my bad. But yeah. So well you say so um uh Marie Curry, her Nobel Prize was in um uh physics and chemistry. Those are the two that's what she got them for.

SPEAKER_00 3:19

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 3:20

So she uh yeah, dude, she she that that right there alone.

SPEAKER_03 3:24

Two Nobel Prizes, man?

SPEAKER_04 3:25

That's what they were.

SPEAKER_03 3:26

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 3:27

Okay, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 3:27

You just don't get they don't just give those out randomly. You know? Yeah, no, they don't. They don't. Yeah. That's some serious uh trophy right there. Oh yeah. Recognition, actually, I should say. Yeah. Recognizing how what you have accomplished, what you've done. Whether you discovered something or whatever, you know? Yeah, I think I think women have been in the you know, we grew up, you know, as women are starting to get more ground than they had when we were growing up. You know what I mean? Now it's like I I just can't wait for it to be equal. You know what I mean? Yeah. I think it's almost I think it's almost like, but I'm not a woman. I'm gonna say if a woman says different, then I'm gonna have to take her word for it. Yes, yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, for a lot of things. I mean, you know, it said the truth is because men always seem to be the ones who not that they're not women now today that are doing a lot of shit. Oh yeah, super successful and running shit. And I think it's great, honestly. You know, yeah. You're gonna say something?

SPEAKER_01 4:25

I think it's no, I was gonna say um it's my train of thought. That's why I didn't that's why I didn't say it's a good one.

Kevlar And Everyday Life-Savers

SPEAKER_04 4:31

You're gonna have to just dig it. So the inventor of Kevlar was a woman too. Uh Stephanie Qualik. She invented Kevlar. So I hope she named it Qualik Kevlar, because that's what it's like that's like Yeah, that would have been like, ooh, yeah, man.

SPEAKER_01 4:47

But yeah, no, that name Kevlar. I hope she used that. She might have just invented it and Pat and sold it, but Mary Anderson.

SPEAKER_04 4:54

Yes. As I get the Anderson, I think of uh Matrix. Mr. Anderson's Mr.

SPEAKER_02 5:00

Anderson's every car uses it.

SPEAKER_03 5:02

So she invented something that's being used on every car.

SPEAKER_04 5:04

She just she uh designed a window cleaning device for electric cars and other vehicles, a hand operated mechanism using a blade to operate snow, ice, or sleep from the windshield. Wow. The U.S. Patent Office awarded her patent on November 10, 1903 for the device. And this is idea supposedly arose while she was riding a streetcar in New York City on a snowy day and saw the driver repeatedly open the window or stop the car to wipe the glass by hand in order to see. So yeah, that's what she done did it. So is the windshield wipers.

SPEAKER_03 5:34

Sure, instead of rolling the window up and down, she made a device where this thing went up and down the window. Yeah, like this. Just using the same kind of device. Then, you know, when they upgraded it and then they turned into windshield wipers if you ever created it.

SPEAKER_01 5:46

It's crazy to imagine that windshield wipers didn't exist at one time. Because they didn't in the early days of cars, you know.

Windshield Wipers And Riding In Rain

SPEAKER_04 5:54

Well, think about it, bro. So I'll tell you the funny. Riding the motorcycle, I didn't think that I was gonna have an up and I was gonna be able to see clearly because there's no wipers on the when I first started to ride back in the day. Right. And I was like, oh shit, how the fuck are you supposed to see that? No. It's because the um so the because the screen the the windscreen, the the cover, the glass, or whatever you want to call it on the helmet, so close. As crazy as it sounds, it's close. So you could literally see right through. But then of course, as you're riding though, the wind is blowing it all off.

SPEAKER_01 6:22

So you put Ranex on it too. You could.

SPEAKER_04 6:24

Some people do, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:25

So it beads up and goes off.

SPEAKER_04 6:27

It goes right off. You don't have it. But you can see, like, pretty much with no problem. Well, I couldn't.

SPEAKER_01 6:32

You know what I heard too? Raynex is that there's actually a stronger version of Ranex, but it's not, it's by a different comp different companies. Is it eco-friendly? I don't know, but they use it on airplanes because could be because jet planes, because yeah, yeah, yeah. They need a few. What do they go like they were not like 700 miles an hour off?

SPEAKER_03 6:53

They must apply it onto the plane before they even take off.

SPEAKER_01 6:56

Yeah, maybe. Well, that's part of their like, you know, they're before they leave, they put a uh uh, you know, they put it on uh you know a new a fresh coat. Right. Probably one of the things that uh they do during the get a squeegee going. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:08

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it was.

SPEAKER_01 7:10

Hooked it up.

SPEAKER_04 7:11

That's what I would have had kids for, and just having kids inside with a squeegee.

SPEAKER_01 7:13

600 miles an hour. Do you even need Ranax?

SPEAKER_04 7:15

Yeah, right, because it's like you would think not.

SPEAKER_03 7:18

But if you get into a heavy downpour and you're in the storm, not on the ground, but in the storm. Yeah. Yeah, I would think you would need something.

SPEAKER_01 7:25

But the other thing is too about pilots, is a lot of people don't know about pilots, is you don't even need to see. See. They're trained to be able to take off and land without having any vision. Now, vision outside the not that they're blind.

SPEAKER_04 7:38

They gotta see the instruments in the cockpit. They gotta be looking at something.

SPEAKER_03 7:42

For crying out loud. They better be looking at the instruments. That's all I'm saying. And the lights better be on. Left, right? We're flying in the dark right now.

SPEAKER_04 7:53

Yeah, no shit. Literally, bro.

SPEAKER_01 7:54

Yeah, no, no, no. They're supposed to be able to train just on their instruments alone with no visibility outside. Yep. Yeah, because that can happen. No visibility. It could be foggy out, it could be, you know, super cloudy, dark, dark, right.

SPEAKER_04 8:08

Yeah, dude, it's over. So yeah, you're right. A million percent. You know, that that's yeah, you gotta. That is fucking funny, though. Funny as fuck. That was a good one, Tom. When you had Tom Alu, I thought you saw you had another one there. Hold your horses, pal.

SPEAKER_02 8:20

No, hurry me up.

SPEAKER_03 8:21

Okay, here we go. Uh let's see. Frida, Caleb turned pain into powerful art. I guess she was an artist of some sort. Look that one up. Like Maya Angelo. Voice of resilience and civil rights. Maya Angelo. Maya Angelo, thank you. Oprah Winfrey. Find media influence. Aretha Franklin, cultural and musical icon, of course. You know, so many. From actors to like uh Serena Williams, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was on the Supreme Court, and she changed a lot of shit. Yeah, she did. Yeah, she did for women. She she was huge. God, you know? No, we we definitely need we need women. Yeah. You know, we do, man, because uh the man thing is just not working, bro.

SPEAKER_01 9:03

Hey, I'm all I'm all for a matriarchy, trust me. Um right, you know, it's like I think we've fucked things up for long enough. Let the women take over. Let them fix it. Serious, yo, that is. You need you need you need a mother figure to be running shit.

SPEAKER_03 9:18

You out of bounds. Oh, here we go. What's that, bro? Comedian. Yeah. He says, You ever have a you know, a girl, a Puerto Rican girlfriend? You know, imagine her being a referee or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's there was no replay. I saw you. You went out of bounds.

SPEAKER_04 9:31

Yeah. Stupid, stupid. Exactly. Yo, that's funny. Well, there are a lot more women that are uh they're having been uh refereeing and stuff like that. So I like the way the girls are refereeing better than the guys in a lot of the sports, football.

SPEAKER_03 9:44

Listen, they're gonna they're even getting into men's sports now.

Paper Bags And Reusable Bag Habits

SPEAKER_04 9:46

That's what I'm saying. Yeah, they're coaching or they're it's great, it's fantastic, it should be that way. It is cool, you know? Bringing it all back up. Absolutely. Another famous inventor, E. Knight, an American inventor, best known for a machine that mechanized the manufacturing of a flat bottom paper bag. So because of the way that the paper bag is folded, this way you could put the paper bag down flat, you know what I mean? The bottom square. Right, because the bottom, when it was like a cone kind of shape, now it's square.

SPEAKER_01 10:10

Now it's a square, flat bottom, so you could put all your shit in there. Exactly. That's awesome. Yeah. It's so funny that people invent you you would think that stuff was invented that way when it came out. Like the flat bottom bag, you'd be like, oh. Common sense. That but no, but someone invented that shit without it. Oh, look.

SPEAKER_04 10:26

Just make it a cone. Yeah, because it's just a matter of you just taking the stuff from here and going home. Right. There was not a real thought about the bigger.

SPEAKER_03 10:33

And with the way they fold it actually helped the bag even make it stronger. Right. On the bottom. Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_04 10:37

So it's funny, the bottom of the bag was stiffer, stronger, but the size of the bag still ripped. They were still flimsy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 10:44

But if you packed it the right way, and most of the times, you know, sometimes it it ripped.

SPEAKER_04 10:47

Yeah. Because you know, sometimes you get that corner. Like right now, if you try to go get a bag, because you know, bags aren't uh you gotta use the reusable bags now. There's not so many. Dude, man, listen, those bags fall apart now.

SPEAKER_01 11:01

You know, I remember growing up as a kid in the 80s and 90s, like paper bags were like such a like that we used to use them for our bookcases. Yeah, for my book. Yeah, I would cut book covers all the time.

SPEAKER_03 11:12

Best book, it was always the best book cover because they lasted a long time.

SPEAKER_01 11:14

Yeah, longer paper.

SPEAKER_03 11:15

It's like it's like I always draw mine and rotating.

SPEAKER_01 11:18

They're kind of like construction paper a little bit, but stronger. Yeah. Because they're meant to hold stuff. Yeah. Yeah, man. And I remember like it's so funny like how things changed over the years. Like, you know, now we don't use plastic bags at all, but remember in the 90s, it was always like they double bagged it. It was the plastic bag with the paper bag in it. Yes, yes. Yeah, you do remember. You do remember that. Yeah, and then people just start using paper bags exclusively. They weren't even using the paper bags anymore. Yeah, just and then they they brought it back. And then it was reusable bags or paper bags to pay in New York, in New Jersey, they don't even do paper bags. Plastic, right? They don't do it. No, you can't do any reason bags. Oh no, you can't do any. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 11:55

That's fine too. That's uh I don't mind that. I think that people should use their own bags. Why should they waste money on shit that's no reason to waste, you know what I mean? So they're just hey, get the own bags. Once you buy it once, you have it forever, you know, you're good to go.

SPEAKER_01 12:07

I think the hardest part is remember to put them back in your car. Right. My wife always has them in there. She's got a shitload of them. It's the habit part is is the hardest change. Because like also like remembering sometimes to even bring them into the store with you. Like you sometimes, you know, you left them in the in the trunk. Right. But uh the hack is that is just well, that's where you want to leave them anyway, don't you? My wife leaves husband in the car. Yeah, yeah. We um we bag ours at the checkout. I guess you could bag them in the trunk too if you want. I that that might be easier.

SPEAKER_04 12:37

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_01 12:37

So like I'm saying if you leave them, if you forget to bring them into the store with you, right?

SPEAKER_04 12:42

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, you can.

SPEAKER_03 12:44

You know, you can always bag them in the store. That's who I I meant just the fact that I would always have them left in the car. So I would use them.

SPEAKER_01 12:50

Yeah, that's what we do too. But I sometimes I forget to bring them out. But I'm saying like no, I mean like uh you forget to sometimes bring them in. You bring the bags in, but you right. But then you could just bag it in the you know, you could just bring the whole grocery cart with everything in it.

SPEAKER_04 13:02

It's like that at uh Sam's Club and and such, because they don't have bags, so they just throw everything in the box, you take it to the car and unload everything. Yeah, right. So it's the same shit. Right. Right. Because it's just too big shit, bro. You can't put that in the fucking bag anyway. It's supposed to be.

The Modern Bra And Comfort

SPEAKER_03 13:14

Let's continue on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. First and barrier breakers. Uh, these women were the first to break through doors. Amelia Earhart, especially. They think they found they talking about her, they may have found the plane. Really? Again? I mean they think they've, you know, well again, they may have found it this time. Let's see. Uh the Titanic. Oh no, I think so. Amelia, first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. I'm sorry. Uh Sally Wright, first American woman in space. Serena Williams dominated in global sports, Ruth Vader Ginsburg.

SPEAKER_00 13:43

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 13:43

Right? This is good stuff, man. Yep.

SPEAKER_04 13:45

I got here uh it just came up on my stuff. It wasn't that I actually looked for it like this. Uh Mary Phelps, Jacob, she invented the modern bra. So fed up with the restrictive armor of uh whalebone corsets while getting ready for a ball, has to be used to use two silk pockets, handkerchiefs, a pink ribbon, and some thread to fashion a simple bra, which would become the model for the um backless Brazier patented in 1914. Well, it's a good thing. I mean, dude, um what kind of guy well actually it's not what kind of guy, I'm sorry, I mean it like that. What guy would have thought about the bra? You know? No. You don't know the you don't know the pain of having that corset on. Like, you know, that's like a foot on your back and tightening that shit up.

SPEAKER_01 14:26

I feel like that needs to be invented. Remember the corsets?

SPEAKER_04 14:29

That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Digging. You know, chicks are wearing those now, like to to again, yeah. Like they're wearing them always comes back to thick.

SPEAKER_01 14:36

So they're like made of a elastic now, right? Or are they? Or get rid of the tie time, like the old lace.

SPEAKER_04 14:43

I have no idea. I've only seen them like in passing, like on TV. I mean, you know, like commercials or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 14:48

And I'm like, what's really painful shape of your body.

SPEAKER_04 14:51

And that's the idea, though, it's a hard work to be a woman. Yeah, that's what I always see. Listen, yeah. A lot of work. Yeah, the old ray uh That's what I've always heard.

SPEAKER_03 14:58

Yeah, it wasn't it wasn't meant in a the Roger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no. As long as they're not doing it for someone else.

Medical Breakthroughs And Ethics

SPEAKER_04 15:03

Well, but see, but it that that's another conversation, but I don't want to do that because they're not gonna get into it. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:08

So here's another person, uh woman, Claudette Colvin, refused to give up her bus seat before Rosa Parks. Right. Harrietta Lax, her cells changed medicine forever. So her cells obviously did something that they were able to do with a probably um serum of some sort.

SPEAKER_04 15:26

A poor black woman whose cancer cells were taken without her consent in 51 and became the first immortal human cell line, uh revolutionizing medicine by aiding in the polio scene, cloning, and gene mapping. Wow. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:39

But they said they didn't get her permission.

SPEAKER_04 15:41

Well, because back in the day was what it was, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:44

It you know, it was a different thing of the world back then, man. Yeah, back in 1951. Um but that wouldn't happen today. At least you would hope and not think so. I mean, not that it couldn't, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 15:56

Um Alice Ball. Yeah, serious shit. Uh Alice Ball um leprosy treatment back in 1915. African American woman chemist developed the most effective treatment for leprosy during the early 20th century. So it was back in 1915. Um she figured out how to make the oil of the Chol Mugra tree, hope I said it right, sorry, injectable and absorbable by the body. And then uh her untimely death at age 24 resulted in another chemist, Arthur Dean, taking credit for her work. So there it is. Boom. I don't know how they found that out. Somebody's talked.

SPEAKER_03 16:33

That's I never heard about that. Yeah. I don't there's a lot of stuff here that I didn't even know about. Ching Shing Wu helped prove a major physics theory, but didn't get the Nobel Prize. The Nobel. Maintener, discovered nuclear fission, credit went elsewhere. See, this is what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_02 16:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:50

Emmy Nother, I hope I'm pronouncing that Foundation of Modern Physics and Equations. Malaria treatment that saved millions. All right, that's malaria was a big thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Especially if you went like if you were in a jungle area or something, sort of like that, yeah, you were definitely gonna of mosquito. I'm assuming that's where they would get them from. Yeah, it could have been from other syntax as well. Yeah, I don't know the whole thing about malaria, but yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_04 17:17

That's a good thing that they came up and they figured it out. Yep. Well, it's like a lot of people, so it was the famous person, the famous man that got the credit for other people's inventions. In some, not in all, in some cases, like this one, and we were talking about when we did uh Black Inventors last month, you know what I mean? Right, that worked alongside of those Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein and such.

SPEAKER_03 17:38

So like not Albert Einstein, uh Grant, the other guy. One did phone, the other one did electric.

SPEAKER_04 17:44

Tesla.

SPEAKER_03 17:44

No, Grant Alexander. Oh, Graham Bell.

SPEAKER_04 17:46

Grant Bell, yes.

SPEAKER_03 17:47

Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.

SPEAKER_04 17:48

Um Emmy Northern, she did the uh described by Albert Einstein as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. She developed a mathematical principle that explains the connection between symmetry, symmetry, and conservative laws, conservation laws, I'm sorry. So that's you know just how you do formulas and math and stuff like that. Oh. Yep. Cecilia Payne, composition of the stars. So in her doctoral thesis at Radcliffe, this astronomer and a natural physicist proposed the stars were composed of hydrogen and helium, a radical notion at the time. So she was already seeing that stuff before, or saying that that's what it was. Those were her, I said you do your thesis on it. That means you did a lot of reading and research and stuff. Because the thesis is serious.

Spies, Physics, And Stolen Credit

SPEAKER_03 18:31

Well, this one's pretty cool. This is labeled Rebel Spies and Rule Breakers. Harriet Tubman, conductor of the Underground Railroad. She freed a lot of slaves. Matara Harry, exotic dancer, turned allegedly spy.

SPEAKER_01 18:44

That sounds like some James Bond. That's right. What is your name?

SPEAKER_04 18:47

Hey, vagina. Pussy Goloto. Well, is it not the chance? That's right. That's funny. Oh, hell yeah. That's fucked up, dude.

SPEAKER_01 18:58

I can't help but spy a thing.

SPEAKER_03 19:01

Uh Virginia Hall, one of the most dangerous allied spies with a wooden leg. Mm-hmm. Crazy shit, wooden leg, yo. Yeah. Nancy Wake, one of the Gestapo's most wanted. She was bad.

SPEAKER_04 19:15

Yeah, she was. She wasn't. Yeah, she was. Well, check this out. Hetty Lamar. So you know the name, Hetty Lamar. She was an actress way back in the day, back in the 40s. And she, so in addition to her similar work on film, Lamar was a self-taught inventor who came up with the idea for a frequency hopping signal that could be tracked, that could not be tracked or jammed. She commissioned composer and pianist George Anthel to her help her to develop the system and it synchronized a self-playing piano with the radio signals. Dig it. So that was the radio playing by itself. Yeah, it was patented back in the in back in 42. And an update of their design was using the Navy ships during the Cuban Missile Crisis. So it was to make missiles, torpedoes and shit be able to find their target and whatnot. That's crazy. That's crazy. Yeah. Dude, that's crazy. That's crazy. Now we gotta go and hang out in Cuba. We can't go and hang out in Cuba. No, now we can't. We could have. We could have.

SPEAKER_03 20:13

We were alive.

SPEAKER_02 20:13

We were going. Yeah. Now we're going to have to do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shit happened. Uh U.S.

SPEAKER_03 20:17

Supreme Court.

SPEAKER_00 20:18

Shirley.

SPEAKER_03 20:19

Anyway. Shirley Chisholm, first black woman to run for U.S. Yeah, for U.S. president. Try to be able to do that. Right. I heard that. Shirley Chisholm. I remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kamala Harris, first female vice president. Sejona Truth, powerful voice for equality. Valatina Tereshikov. Sorry. First woman in space. Treshnikov? No, Tereshikova. First man woman in space.

SPEAKER_01 20:45

That sounds definitely Russian.

SPEAKER_03 20:46

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Yep. Here you go. I think I got it right the second time.

SPEAKER_04 20:51

Navy, Rear Admiral Dr. Grace Murray Hopper was one of the most influential computer scientists of all time, famous for her groundbreaking work in developing the first accessible computer programming languages written in English. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. Because yeah, even still, to code is a pain in the ass. I'll tell you, listen, bro. Women have been, I think as a whole, there's just so many people that have been part of great inventions that weren't ever given the credit for what it was. You know what I mean? And women, as funny as it sounds, to some people, I think it's I think it's more fact awesomeness that there was more women that were involved in creating how we live nowadays. Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 21:31

But they just never got the credit that they deserve. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 21:33

Necessity is the mother of invent of invention. You know, what easier way to do this, to make this happen, to get that to be done, you know.

SPEAKER_03 21:39

To be able to have the the know how or the drive to figure it out.

Dishwasher Debate And Daily Routines

SPEAKER_04 21:42

Yeah. Because like it was a woman that invented the um the washing machine. Um the I'm sorry, not the washing machine, the dishwasher. It was a hand dishwasher. I lost it, I had it over here, so I apologize for that one. But you know, just all all these all these different things that we ne we took for granted. You know what I mean? And well, we take for granted now. Because I'm pissed off when I have to wash dishes by hand. You know what I mean? You know, or even the washing machine. All right. Quick question. I still do it though.

SPEAKER_01 22:09

Well, you guys rinse your dishes before you pin the dishwasher. Uh yeah. Yes, I do. But I don't wash it. I was told that you're not supposed to rinse it. I do it though. I still do it. But I'm not sure. I just don't want the food getting caught up into the thing, and then I gotta clean it out. I was I heard that you're not supposed to rinse it because but because they say like you're supposed to have oil and fat on there because the uh soap's supposed to react with that, the detergent's meant to react with that. But I always rinse it. Like then the food gets caught if it's rice or shit. You're supposed to scrape the plates off. You know what I mean? Like a paper towel or something or a napkin. Or just take the big stuff off. Yeah, the c and then leave like the sauce and stuff on the right. Right, right, right, right, right. Grease.

SPEAKER_04 22:52

That makes sense. That makes sense.

SPEAKER_01 22:54

And I always rinse it, and like sometimes it doesn't come out clean. That's right.

SPEAKER_04 22:59

And then and the bad part is that you know it, but you still do it.

unknown 23:01

Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_01 23:02

They come out clean for me.

SPEAKER_03 23:03

I mean it doesn't feel like it's I don't even pay attention to it.

SPEAKER_01 23:08

You know, we don't always run our dishwasher every night, you know. So you definitely want to make dishwasher. Yeah, that happens a lot, you know.

SPEAKER_04 23:14

Yeah. Well, I mean, bro, cleaning out the shit in the bottom of the dishwasher is what you're supposed to do anyway.

Power, Politics, And Representation

SPEAKER_03 23:17

That's like, you don't have to have some shit in there or whatever. Yeah, no, no. Yeah, you know? Yeah, no, I hear that stuff. I hear that. The only thing, and I'm gonna say this because we never talk about this topic, the only thing that I think women are equal with in regards to the same profession, and that one would be I don't want to say this word, I can't believe I'm saying politics. Because I think they're all equal in their own way. It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman. If they like you, they do, if they hate you. Oh right. Yeah, whatever it is. Right, right. So in other words, I would say in that kind of realm, they're all because they all have power. Follow? Mm-hmm. So that's all I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01 23:53

So in that in that in that sense, still an imbalance, though. Like it'd be nice to see like a at least like a 50-50. Oh, yeah, close to that. Yeah, I agree. You know, I agree.

SPEAKER_04 24:04

Yeah. All right, here you go. Maria E. Beasley, an American entrepreneur and inventor, both in North Carolina, right, patented 15 inventions in the uh in the United States, including a foot warmer, improved life raft, anti-derailment device for trains.

SPEAKER_00 24:20

All right.

SPEAKER_04 24:21

Right? Is that crazy? Let's see. Beasley licensed a patent to the standard oil company, exhibited her work for the world's industrial and cotton centennial exposition, that all that stuff. But yeah, so that to keep trains from freaking derailing, dude. Yeah. That right there. Huh? What derailing? Keep a train, yeah. To keep a train from derailing. That's what she invented. That's what I'm talking about. Dude, foot warmers. We all need foot warmers every once in a while. There you go. Yeah. So that's that's right there. Yeah. Toes. How far back is that one? That was back in our shit about 19 or 18, sorry.

SPEAKER_03 24:58

That's what I'm saying. So it's a different guy. We're thinking of foot warm, we're thinking of something you throw in your shoe. Back then it was totally different.

SPEAKER_04 25:03

Well, yeah, probably. It didn't say give me specifics on ones.

SPEAKER_03 25:06

So if it was 1800s, it's not, it wasn't as high-tech as it is now, but that's cool for that time. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_04 25:12

Right, yeah, definitely. Anything back then, bro. Listen, all that shit back in the day was like, yeah, okay, that's just not working. Shit, where the hell is it?

Women In The Military And Aviation

SPEAKER_03 25:19

Women in the military? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. There's women race car drivers, obviously. There's actually a lot of people. Yeah, Danica Patrick was the shit. There was a couple before her. You don't like Danica? No.

SPEAKER_01 25:28

Who wasn't gonna say military? Wasn't it like uh up until recently that they weren't allowed to be in infantry? Oh, yeah, you're right. It was up until maybe like women weren't even allowed to be in infantry.

SPEAKER_03 25:38

I think that's changing a lot now, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, it has, I should say. So, you know. The jet the fight of pilots as well? Maybe maybe it was longer than 10 years ago. Right. A jet.

SPEAKER_04 25:52

Well, but just flying as a whole, women pilots, you know what I mean? Yeah. I'm just saying, that's their job in general.

Supersonic Turns And G-Forces

SPEAKER_01 25:58

There's a fire pilot. So because one it's one thing to pilot like a jet or an airplane, but to pilot one of those things that go break the sound. Yeah, supersonic. That's yeah, that's sick. You know, they say like I don't know. I can never be in one of those plants. I would pass out so fast. You know, we always go into like uh talking to a fireplace like UAPs, but like because it I remember watching one of those UAP documentaries, and the guy was explaining like how hard it is to go at to for them for them to turn at a certain speed, but he was describing how long it takes for something that's supersonic to make a 90-degree turn. Says it takes them like I think he said like a hundred miles. No shit. Because they're going that fast. Like 100 miles is like, or no, I I forget it's like a ridiculous amount. It might be like you know, he said it's like takes the he he named a state. He's like the width of the state to turn. Like if you were to like the if it were to start its turn at the bottom of the state, and I forget what he said, it was like Colorado or something. No kidding. Like that's how long it takes to make a 90 to supersonic. But that's why they don't make this, that's why they don't make turns at that speed. Right. They just go on at a slower speed.

SPEAKER_04 27:04

Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:05

That's it's because you cover you know, it's going so fast.

SPEAKER_04 27:08

Yeah, that's insane, dude. Yeah, that's incredible. But though you could you when you make those turns, I do know that the G forces are are insane. You know, it's like you're basically like just being crushed in your seat and losing a couple of freaking spaces in the between the vertebrae and your back and shit like that.

SPEAKER_03 27:23

So well, they have to wear a special the suit itself helps keep the blood pumped up into their body because when they're going that far as that g force, they can pass out. So that keeps it from them from passing out.

SPEAKER_04 27:34

All the blood in their feet and shit like that. So yeah, yeah. Because it's just freaking dead. The body's taking it up. Yeah, that's insane.

SPEAKER_03 27:41

That's an amazing uh can you imagine trying to be able to. What about the test that they give you where they make you go around in that oh yeah, that too, that uh is it's not a tube, really.

SPEAKER_04 27:49

It's around the right at the at the at the fair.

SPEAKER_03 27:52

And you just see these guys that pass out, boom, they're out. For how long does it take?

SPEAKER_04 27:57

That's the the test.

SPEAKER_03 27:58

That's the test, right. I think that's what it is.

SPEAKER_04 28:00

Yeah, it's like it's supposed to go from well, Mach 1 to I think Mach 7, Mach 10, some shit like that. Just been out. Yeah. That's gotta be a strange feeling though when you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you don't even know you're passing out. You don't even actually wake up, like, oh, we don't know.

Sonic Booms And Jet Stories

SPEAKER_01 28:13

One of the coolest things is like a sonic boom. That's right. You ever hear one? I've never in person. I have. Yeah, no, I have two. Like an air show or something like that? Yeah, yeah. I have a few times. We were alive. Well, you live you live near the airport.

SPEAKER_04 28:27

Well, he no, you live near the airport. I didn't live near the airport. No, but we live.

SPEAKER_01 28:30

Don't you live or don't you live near the not here?

SPEAKER_04 28:32

I'm talking about down in the city because um I was gonna say the Concord, when the Concorde would leave uh back in the day, when it would leave the JFK and whatnot, we would hear that. Yeah, or if we happened to be at the beach, yeah, you could hear the poof.

SPEAKER_03 28:45

But there's so they would be fired at just too in shows. Yeah, they were. So after 9-11.

SPEAKER_04 28:51

Yeah, it's fucking great. After 9-11, when all the when a lot of the uh the planes, so they had the patrols, the jet fighters flying around New York City, they would come upstate to get refueled. You know, like they were making their rounds like that. Gotcha. And when they would land, it was crazy. It was almost like pit stop shit. They would land in Newburgh in uh Stewart Airport, come down, get gassed up, and then and take right off. Like they just came out, went to the bathroom, and then just kept going. And when you heard them going, bro, man, yeah, like literally, it's freaking crazy. It is so sick. But they can't only do it at a they can't do it below a certain a certain amount of feet because then it blows out windows and vibrates and you know, all that other stuff. So they have to be, they can't do it near, and they can't do it next to um like houses or or just anything, you know, any place where there's people like that, because you know, it's too low. You gotta do it. So they can't do it coming out of the uh out of the airport, go down 50 miles and then hit it. They gotta be up like, you know, like 10,000 feet in the room. They gotta be way high before they do it. Yeah, before they can actually hit the throttle.

SPEAKER_03 29:56

That's not necessarily true, because when I was in Coney Island, I went to the the aquarium with my kids, and there was an air show going on, and this thing took off, and it sounded like it was like 10 feet over my head.

SPEAKER_04 30:07

Oh no, no, I'm talking about to go into Sonic Boom, like to go to that so loud. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, they're fast as fuck. They are dead. I mean, they're shit.

SPEAKER_01 30:14

What's the airbase that's in your Newburgh? Stewart Airbase. I remember one time I was driving, I was at work, and I was driving, I think uh I was in Lou's territory when we were working together. I was I remember they were testing out for an the Blue Angels were testing and driving on the highway. Yeah, I mean, they're isn't it great, man.

SPEAKER_02 30:32

It's so freaking cool. I know, yeah. I daughter's in the military. You should be proud of that. Oh, yeah, all day long. Hell yeah. And she probably saw all that shit.

SPEAKER_04 30:40

Yeah, she did, she did, she did. When she was out in Kuwait, she saw a lot of that stuff and you know the jets and everything. Yeah, she's she's hearing that all the time. Yeah, it's freaking crazy. It is so crazy. But you know, again, say a lot of you, that's life like that.

SPEAKER_04 31:51

Yeah. And then, well, so now you know they've upgraded them. So now you can get one for your own town and stuff like that. Oh, yeah. New York City.

And and instead of the railroad, it's abandoned stores, abandoned toy store, abandoned electronics store. No way. That is Halloween. So instead of the railroad, but if you own all the types of stores, then you you know you can charge more for when someone lands on.

No shit. That's freaking awesome. That is awesome, man.

The godmother of rock and roll. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She pioneered the use of a heavy distortion on the electric guitar.
