Welcome to another episode of Pay Pigs! We got a doozy for ya folks, because we landed our first big sponsorship from BP and Shell. In this episode we'll fill you in on why you're probably more likely to see your favorite influencer shilling for big oil than you are to see these companies implement any actual meaningful changes. We're also talking about the United Auto Workers (UAW) strike and all you need to know about it. We also cover some massive updates to Airbnb policies in a few big cities including and especially New York City, and why Rite-Aid is filing for bankruptcy.This episode (and every episode) was masterfully edited by Dillon Moore.

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.
