Episode notes

Consumer preferences are shifting away from beef towards chicken and sausage, driven by rising beef prices. In response to extreme heat conditions, companies are equipping employees with high-tech ice pack vests to maintain comfort while working. This trend reflects a growing need for on-body cooling systems, which, despite historical military and aerospace origins, are now becoming commonplace in various industries—including fast food, warehousing, and entertainment—to address the challenges of rising temperatures.

Episode 397: Neal and Toby discuss Eli Lilly’s newest form of Zepbound, their blockbuster weight-loss drug that is half the price of its predecessor. Will this eliminate the competition? Then, Mark Zuckerberg writes a letter expressing his regret for demoting Covid-19 content during the pandemic as it felt ‘pressured’ from the Biden administration. Next, the Kelce brothers just scored a massive $100M deal with Amazon to take their podcast to… new heights. Meanwhile, birth rates around the world are falling and some countries are trying to pay people to start families, and it’s not working. Also, dinner sausages are becoming more and more popular as price-conscious shoppers shift to cheaper meats. Lastly, brutal heat waves sweeping across the country are forcing outdoor workers to wear high-tech cooling systems to survive.
