PP 16: It Finally Happened.
MUCH TO DISCUSS. Dianne Feinstein is finally dead. The WGA strike is over, but things might be beginning to shift at the streamers. Can they survive or will they have to consolidate? We pore over the details of the new deal so you don't have to. It's interesting stuff! We also talk about NAKED ATTRACTION, the UK import that's already number one on HBO (we aren't calling it MAX, sorry). Plus, Ozempic is changing so many industries, and airlines could be one of those who benefits from a thinner populace. ALSO also: Mark Zuckerberg's prototype VR feature makes the metaverse look amazing and less and less like a joke, Linda Yaccarino gets spanked in front of 400 people, Mr Beast locks a guy in a grocery store, and finally...RFK Jr does a backflip.This episode (and every episode) was masterfully edited by Dillon Moore.

Taylor Swift is everywhere. She's behind you right now. It's too much. It's constant, it HAS to be reaching a tipping point, right guys? She and Travis Kelce have to be getting paid by the government or something. Or has our culture just gotten to the point where we all collectively just focus on ONE thing each week? Seemingly ranch, right guys? LOL!!!! Anyway. We also cover all you need to know about the corrupt Cuban king ROBERT MENENDEZ, because man oh man is that guy shady as hell (and we love him for it). Also we cover the latest with Joe Biden visiting the UAW strike, and finally, the brand new $499 per month TINDER SELECT.This episode (and every episode) was masterfully edited by Dillon Moore.

PP Episode 9: Is Obesity Over? | Big Pharma's Fat Profits Come At A Cost
The obesity market is big business. The makers of so-called "miracle" obesity and diabetes treatments like Mounjaro and Ozempic stand to make hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars over the next decade if they're further approved by the FDA and widely prescribed. Investors are already picking the winners as Eli Lilly has quickly become the most valuable healthcare company at a whopping $500 billion dollars. Will congress get on board and approve these treatments under Medicare? Will private insurance cover them? How will these drugs affect other industries like fast food? And how safe are they? Plus, we delve into the dirty details of Dave Portnoy and Barstool getting offloaded by Penn Gaming, which pisses Ben off. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
