Hey Q Crew! Right off the top we had some audio quality challenges this week. We had a new set up with the fabulous Miss Jessica James joining us for some shenanigans and tomfoolery! We were just going to do a deep dive only, but the stuff in the Elizabeth Holmes / Theranos trial started poppin’ off a little and we just could wait. So we catch up on what happened this last week with the invisible lab director, petty actions against journalists, and the existence of an “innovation fee” perplexes us! Then Tanya slipped with some information on her personal life and Jess and I flipped out! Next week will be a deep dive and then we will get back to the Lizzie Caper. We are on baby watch for Tanya’s grandbaby Amaru who should be here any day now! So we might be a little delayed coming back. Ill keep you guys updated on our Facebook page with what’s going on! Love your faces!

Elizabeth Holmes Trial Update- A Trio of Trouble on Theranos

Hey Q Crew! This week we kick things off with the telling of the “Barnes and Noble Incident” story. Then we dive into week 5 of the Elizabeth Holmes trial (and go back a little bit to cover some things that we missed from earlier in the trial). We discuss the fraudulent Pfizer endorsement, more texts between Sunny and Elizabeth, the brutal cross examination of Rosendorff (the head of the lab below Sunny), and Buddhist juror #4 who got excused.

Elizabeth Holmes & Theranos Trail-Week 5: The Charade

Hey Q Crew! Couple things: I lost my show notes with the links to the articles we covered today. If I find them I will add to the comments Also, there’s so much that’s happened with the Theranos trial that we got a little discombobulated and did not cover things chronologically. Finally, because of the discombobulation we sucked at even trying to cut out the “like” and “literally’s”. We hear you and we are trying to get better. So this week we give a shout out to Waste Management, celebrate the good Britney Spears court ruling, and finally break down the Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos trial.

Elizabeth Holmes Week 4 Trial Update-SHE‘S AT IT AGAIN!

Hey Q Crew! This week, Tanya had a string of emergencies that she had to handle. But, the Theranos story waits for no one! I reached out to one of our listeners, Alexandra, and asked if she would be willing to Tanya’s stand in…and she agreed! This week we break down the first witness testimonies, forged (allegedly) documents that Holmes used to lure in more investors, and what good old Lizzie has been up to in recently. Links for the articles I referenced are below and further down are links to more of our Theranos content.

Alexandra The Great! (Elizabeth Holmes / Theranos Trial Update

Hey Q Crew! Again, right up top, sorry for some of the audio issues. Tanya was struggling with her mic placement and every time she touched it, the mic picked it up. Sorry! This week we break down the Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos trial kick off. From the bullshit argument from the defense in their opening statement, Judge Davila’s odd rulings on what is ok to discuss and what is not, and the John Carreyrou podcast (Thanks to listener Alexandra for the hot tip on that!)

Elizabeth Holmes and the Cornfuzzled Caper!

Hey Q Crew! First off let me apologize for the inconsistent audio. We had a different set up this week and we struggled. I tried my best to clean it up! It’s Elizabeth Holmes & Theranos Update Time! Again. Why? Because the trial has FINALLY begun! But first we catch up on some of the info that came out while we were on our August break. Then we get a peek for the first time her defense teams plan. And (BRACE YOURSELF)…it’s bullshit. Side note: my beloved Uncle David passed away this weekend. He was an amazing person and he will be greatly missed. This episode is dedicated to him. Links for the articles I referenced are below and further down are links to more of our Theranos content.

Mothers Day Mayhem

Hey Q Crew! Last week we left off with a little cliffhanger-what is the gender of Tanya's new grandbaby? The wait is over!  Then, it’s Elizabeth Holmes & Theranos Update Time! Again. As we get closer to the trial, it’s getting even more bizarre. Turns out that the government and Holmes' "dream team" of 10 lawyers can't agree on how the "lost" database got lost and how it should be handled and explained to the jury. We also have quite the strong reaction to one of Holmes' attorneys understanding of the word "nefarious".  All accusations of her and those involved are alleged and this episodes content are our opinions.   Then we explore some listener emails on the nerve of some people, coffee shop pervs, and interviews gone wild!

Jumping out of Happy Meals

Hey Q Crew! It’s Elizabeth Holmes & Theranos Update Time! Again. As we get closer to the trial, it’s getting even more bizarre. We chat about the possible mental health defense, the questionnaire from hell, the Hulu series and finally her merch sales…no that’s not a typo. Her merch is selling out. Don’t get me started.
