Q As In Cucumber Podcast

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. Check out our Theranos series and some of our Theranos update episodes!

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.

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!)

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.

Hey Q Crew! This week we chat about customers who think we in the service industry have no boundaries or personal agency. They are proven wrong thankfully. We also chat about Tanya’s stalking behavior and Lara’s new favorite thing…Pasta Puns! We recorded a few episodes on this day so we could take August off.

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!

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.

Hey Q Crew! This week is not really a deep dive. It’s more of an extended rant on Rachel Hollis. From her marriage to her empire and how she burned it all to the ground in just a few months.

Hey Q Crew! We have more emails to catch up on! We recorded this last week so if we missed yours, I promise we will cover it next week. This week we tell the story of an insult gone wildly different than the insulter intended and a lost medical patient who ended up in the wrong department. We also respond to a coaching request to someone who really didn’t need it, since she handled the situation perfectly. Finally, we hear what Retired Reg from Kim Kardashian Ontario has been up to and how Tanya is unable to sell her home. ***WARNING*** There is a story we share that someone sent us with a slur in it. The slur was used against the sender of the email and he requested that we say it. We do not use this language ourselves but you may understand why we said it once you hear the story.   Keep sending you stories, deep dive topics, and questions to qasincucumber@yahoo.com.

Hey Q Crew! Today we catch up on emails! All your emails were going into our spam filter, so I apologize to everyone who thought we were ignoring you☹ But now we have found them! We kick off with a few but we had so many we recorded a couple of episodes today. So, make sure to come back for more fun next week. This week we talk about unruly salon customers, a Hot Chicks mix up, last night on the job shenanigans, and why you should make sure you hang up before confessing your sins. Enjoy!

Hey Q Crew! Sorry it has been a minute for Tanya and I! As you will hear, we have not seen each other in a few weeks, and we are all over the damn place in this episode. So please forgive us for cramming a ton of random into one show. First, we catch up with our lives as of late and the life changing events that have gone on and that are on the horizon. Then we dive into some updates from some of our previous deep dive topics, including the Texas power outage and how it relates to Enron, the McKinsey & Co. settlement for their part in the opioid crisis, Elizabeth Holmes and her schemes that just won’t quit, and the Silk Road movie and doc that we watched. Then we just devolve into chatting about our newest binge-watching obsessions and end crying about how fabulous Kathy Bates is…I told you we were all over the place! Enjoy!

Hey Parent Peeps! It’s deep dive time! For our Q as in Cucumber listeners, Tanya and I will be back soon with new episodes of our own. Sorry, we have been AWOL for a little bit. In the meantime, enjoy this bonus episode from our sister show, The Parent Memoirs. This week, Jessica and I explore the final chapter, save for one final mystery, of the Leonard Warwicks path of destruction. After the first two murders, the story goes cold for most of Australia. They had no idea that Leonard was just getting warmed up. The most destructive events were yet to come. We explore the repeated attacks, how fucking Leonard kept out of prison for so long, and what finally brought him down. If you or someone you know is the victim of domestic abuse, please know that you are not alone. There is hope and there are organizations that can help. Visit https://www.thehotline.org/ for support and resources. All hail Queen Bailey! Here is the Bailey Sarian Murder Mystery and Makeup video that got me started on this case. Check it

Hey Parent Peeps! It’s deep dive time! For our Q as in Cucumber listeners, Tanya and I will be back soon with new episodes of our own. Sorry, we have been AWOL for a little bit. In the meantime, enjoy this bonus episode from our sister show, The Parent Memoirs. This week Jessica and I dive headfirst into one of the most bonkers cases I have ever heard. As I am true crime obsessed, I am a little shocked I had never heard of this one before. While looking for our next deep dive I came across the amazing Bailey Sarian and her Murder Mystery and Makeup series on YouTube. She told this story, and I was hooked (on her channel and this story). I watched the documentary special from 7News and then read the book about it by one of the journalists. Buckle-up buttercups! When Leonard Warwick found out that his wife Andrea Blanchard had petitioned for full custody of their 2-year-old daughter, Trudie, in their 1979 divorce petition, he was angry. When the justice overseeing the case awarded Andrea full custody tempora

This week we give some shout outs to some new listeners who showed love on YouTube, breakdown the Subway and GameStop stories, and read through super fan Karens email on her family.  #gamestop #robinhood #subwaytuna #notallkarens
