Hey Q Crew!

We have been waiting for years!  So of course we had to record a quick reaction to the Elizabeth Holmes sentencing. Plus, we should have seen it coming but didn't...she had one more surprise for us, of course! Enjoy!

Love your faces,

Lara

Hey Q Crew!

Sorry We’ve been AWOL for so long! We are plotting a return, but Tanya and I just HAD to record our recap of the January 6th House Committee hearings SO FAR. I am managing to get this out minutes before the primetime finale on 7/21. We will have another episode to recap that so stay tuned!

I didn’t do much cleaning up on this. I just let us rant. If you are a MAGA supporter that happens to listen to our show, this episode is not for you. Hopefully we will see you back for our normal episodes.

WARNING: We can’t help but curse even more than normal. Since we are talking about the attempted illegal overthrow of our government, it seems justified.

Enjoy!

Hey Q Crew!

This week we conclude our deep dive into the company called “Worse Than Theranos” by New York Magazine. Insys Therapeutics. Our main sources are the fabulous book by Evan Hughes called “The Hard Sell: Crime and Punishment at an Opioid Startup” and The New York Magazine article linked below.

In this final episode we cover the “whales” that double, triple, and quadruple dipped in this whole scheme, the downfall of the company, and the arrogance of its leadership.

Hey Q Crew!

This week we start our deep dive into the company called “Worse Than Theranos” by New York Magazine. Insys Therapeutics. Our main sources are the fabulous book by Evan Hughes called “The Hard Sell: Crime and Punishment at an Opioid Startup” and The New York Magazine article linked below.

In this first episode we cover a little history of the drug at the center of all this- Subsys. Which is an under the tongue fentanyl spray designed for “break through cancer pain”. However, it was mostly used by pain management doctors who were bribed by Insys to push it to their patients and turn them into addicts.

We close out by getting to know the main players: John Kapoor, Michael Babich, Matthew Napoletano, and Alec Burlakoff. The 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse.

Hey Q Crew!

Tanya is still off on her new adventure, so the delightful Ms. Jessica James stepped in this week! We chat about my first YouTube video…with my face and everything. It’s about the Boeing Max 737 crashes from 2018 & 2019 and the documentary Downfall: The Case Against Boeing. I linked down below if you haven’t checked it out yet. We also chat about Elizabeth Holmes and her sentencing schedule along with the documentary series Dr Death on Peacock. Finally, we start catching up on emails from y’all! Thanks for patiently waiting during the Elizabeth Holmes / Theranos trial!  We have stories on stupid customer confessions, customers who just want to be angry, warning label confusion and more!

I refer to our Theranos coverage in this video, so if anyone has not checked those out, the playlist is here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLx_q6cCrV0AEdl3IQuybQafKU2WIwwNql
