The Elizabeth Holmes/Theranos trial continues with testimony from investor Sig Mosley. Mosley admitted he relied on a 2014 Fortune Magazine cover story and the recommendation of Henry Kissinger rather than performing his own due diligence. Kissinger reportedly described Holmes as having "special attributes" and an "iron will," which the hosts find humorous given the eventual collapse of the company.

The validity of "Top 10" lists is challenged, with claims that editors at publications like Fortune Magazine manipulate rankings to influence or humiliate public figures, such as Melissa Gates. Metrics like the desirability index and quality-of-life scores are dismissed as arbitrary editorial decisions rather than scientific data.
