This is an old clip from 1974. I don't know if her dental-fillings-captures-Japanese-spy story is true or not, but either way, it is hilarious. If you're a fan of LB or unintentional humor, you will probably enjoy it!

I love Lucy!
But is there some conspiracy theory involved in this?
The prologue emphasizes that the video was made to preserve information which is being censored now?

I had long heard Lucy's story, but only just last night got around to trying to find the DC interview. I had always assumed that Ms. Ball was a wild tale spinner, that was part of her charm. But I remember a similar storyline on "Gilligan's Island" (of all things!) and since I don't know squat about lead fillings, I just defer to Lucy's version. It could be true. At any rate, it was a GREAT story!

At any rate, it was a GREAT story! When I was a kid I think it was taken for fact that fillings in teeth could transmit radio waves.
The producer of the video is saying that this information is being "scrubbed from the internet to push agendas". They seem to be saying that WiFi and 5G sources are trying to hide the fact that wireless transmission affect our bodies, and the implication is that it affects us in nefarious ways.
But of course Ms Ball may have been using the story for comedic effect.

During late WWII, and for a short time thereafter, my Dad flew as a navigator, on a San Francisco-Honolulu link. The missions were US military, but they used Pan Am equipment. I don't recall specific references to dental fillings, but he often spoke of various metals picking up radio signals, but not being near any recognized "receiver."
When I was in my teens ... and, nothing was too great a sacrifice for beauty ... I would set my hair in metal-mesh "rollers," every night. He would often tease me about the number of radio stations that I was picking up.

Funny
She had such an amazing presence, so far ahead of her time. Even today there's no one like her.

I remember this story from years ago. Pretty infamous.

This could have been adapted for a Cold War-era I Love Lucy episode, "Lucy's Radiohead:"
Lucy: Oh, Ricky, I can pick up Joe Stalin ordering a pizza!
Ethel: Oh, you poor little thing!
Ricky: Lucy! 'Splain!

The Morse code part is believable, but the music in the mouth was definitely for comedic effect. Lol

Ball was a very intelligent woman. She founded and ran Desilu Productions, Arnaz had little to do with the day to day operations. They had huge TV shows, Mission Impossible, The Untouchables, Mannix, Star Trek. She sold it 1968 for a ton of money. She also showed amazing foresight in making I Love Lucy. She insisted the show was shot on film instead of cheap Kinescope. Had it been shot on Kinescope, it wouldn't have been rerun to this very day. She also fought CBS tooth and nail to make ILL the show SHE wanted. CBS wanted her to play Liz Cooper, a housewife of a banker in Minneapolis. The husband would be just a straight Ward Cleaver guy. Yawn. Lucy insisted on the premise of a talentless wife of a Cuban bandleader who wanted in show business. She wanted Arnaz, partly to keep a eye on his philandering ass but she knew that his character could get laughs. Judge the results, in its prime, I Love Lucy was the most watched show ever, percentage wise.
