With the glorification of the "fake it 'til you make it" mantra in Silicon Valley, was it really any surprise that one Elizabeth Anne Holmes thought she could smokescreen her way into becoming the most celebrated medical technology inventor of the decade or even century? And it would have worked too, if it wasn't for the meddling reporter John Carreyrou.

Join Bibi and Sibel in another hilarious episode complete with breathless laughter and ridiculous banter.
