Episode 66: Elizabeth Holmes

Dani and Gabe are finally back after a little break and while they’ve got some pretty depressing life updates to share (don’t worry, they keep it brief), it’s nothing compared to the wild ride of this week’s story.

Buckle up, this story is as unbelievable as it is unsettling.
