"Most capital sources remain ready, willing and able to lend on properties that can support a loan. Driven by growth in the single-asset single-borrower markets, originations for CMBS [commercial mortgage-backed securities] grew significantly during the quarter."
The second quarter of 2024 saw a significant increase in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/06/39550000/why-this-economist-thinks-a-major-commercial-real-estate-crash-could-take-down-the-fdic">commercial loan originations</a>, with several property types experiencing substantial growth. Health care properties led the surge with a 178% increase from the previous quarter. Hotels followed closely with an 84% rise, while industrial properties saw a 29% increase and multifamily properties experienced a 27% uptick. Retail properties also recorded an 18% increase, while office properties saw a more modest 4% growth in loan dollar volume.

Government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) also contributed to the growth with a 16% increase in loan dollar volume.
While several commercial property types saw significant year-over-year increases in mortgage loan originations during the second quarter, others experienced declines.

Commercial And Multifamily Mortgage Originations Surge 27% In Q2

One of the most famous sports-based podcasts has found a new home with "New Heights" landing a $100 million deal with Amazon.com Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Wondery, bringing the Kelce brothers further into the NFL ecosystem <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35146521/amazon-is-winning-its-bet-on-nfl-rights-a-look-at-the-numbers-taylor-swift-upside">of the ecommerce giant.</a>
What Happened: Launched in 2022, "New Heights" comes from brothers Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce. While Jason retired from the NFL after a 13-year career, Travis is crucial to the Kansas City Chiefs&#8217; pursuit of a historic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/07/39752864/bettors-favor-kansas-city-chiefs-for-super-bowl-three-peat-heres-a-look-at-how-states-are-">Super Bowl three-peat</a> in the 2024 season.
Amazon's Wondery landed the rights to ad-sales, distribution and more across a three-year $100 million deal, as reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/kelce-brothers-podcast-wondery-new-heights-1236118594/">Variety</a>. Wondery will also have rights to the back catalog of episodes and the rights to create international audio versions of the podcast. Wondery also gains rights to develop and license merchandise based on the hit podcast.
The deal with the weekly podcast kicks off Wednesday Aug. 28 ahead of the 2024 NFL season. The podcast features a look at the day-to-day lives of the brothers, along with their NFL careers and special guests talking football, sports and various other topics. "New Heights" ranks among the most popular podcasts on Spotify and Apple Podcast. The podcast was named 2024 Podcast of the Year at the iHeartPodcast Awards.
Wondery+ subscribers can enjoy ad-free listening of &#8220;New Heights,&#8221; which will also be available across Wondery's distribution network and on YouTube.
"We couldn't be more excited to team up with Wondery for the next phase of ‘New Heights," the Kelce brothers said in a statement. "We love this show, and the fanbase that has grown with us over the last two seasons."
The Kelce brothers said Wondery brings experience and resources to take the podcast to "new heights," in a pun on the show's title.
Wondery CEO Jen Sargent said the Amazon owned company has been following the podcast over the last two years.
"'New Heights' on the surface is a sports podcast, and sports is such a well-listened to category," Sargent said. "But it's become a cultural phenomenon – they're in that cultural zeitgeist."
While "New Heights" was already popular with NFL and sports fans, the podcast may have also gotten a viewership boost with increased interest in Travis' personal life thanks to his relationship with global superstar Taylor Swift.

Why It's Important: Neither Kelce brother is a stranger to Amazon and the ecommerce company's growing bets on the NFL and sports.
Jason was featured in a 2023 documentary "Kelce" in 2023 that became Prime Video's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/10/35203931/beckham-scores-for-netflix-kelce-for-amazon-messi-up-next-for-apple-sports-documentaries-hi">most watched documentary </a>of all time. Travis landed a deal with Amazon's Prime Video for a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38860861/amazon-betting-on-game-shows-for-streaming-growth-mrbeast-travis-kelce-pop-culture-jeopardy"> new version of the game show</a> "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" with the upcoming "Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?"
Amazon also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/thursday-night-football">has the rights</a> to NFL "Thursday Night Football" games, which have attracted strong viewership and helped the company boost Prime Video subscribers.
While Travis returns to the field for a 12th NFL season, Jason turns to a commentator position for ESPN's "Monday Night Countdown" pregame show alongside his weekly podcast.
The $100 million podcast deal follows several other large deals announced in the sector. Wondery signed an $80 million deal with actor Dax Shepard last month.
SiriusXM recently announced a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40472192/why-are-sirius-xm-shares-on-the-rise-today"> $125 million podcast deal </a>with Alex Cooper for "Call Her Daddy."

Editor&#8217;s Note: The story has been updated with the Phase 3 trial data in Japan and neffy&#8217;s pricing information.
Earlier this month, the FDA approved ARS Pharmaceuticals Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPRY#NASDAQ">SPRY</a>) Neffy (epinephrine nasal spray) for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions (Type I), including those that are life-threatening (anaphylaxis), for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40467939/ars-pharmaceuticals-neffy-uniquely-positioned-with-potential-to-change-allergy-treatment-paradigm-fo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">adult and pediatric patients</a>.
The nasal spray version of epinephrine is poised to enter the market as an alternative to auto-injectors like the EpiPen for treating severe allergic reactions.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/02/37221031/ars-pharma-readies-data-in-response-to-fdas-rejection-for-its-epipen-alternative-fo" rel="noreferrer noopener">ARS Pharma Readies Data In Response To FDA&#8217;s Rejection For Its EpiPen Alternative For Severe Allergic Reactions</a>.
While Neffy&#8217;s needle-free application offers a more convenient and potentially less painful option, some allergists are hesitant to prescribe it until further studies confirm its effectiveness during actual anaphylactic emergencies.
The company <a href="https://ir.ars-pharma.com/static-files/aba6460e-af90-4a1a-a0e0-e0407eacd111" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">conducted</a> a Phase 3 study in Japanese pediatric patients (n=15) who experienced food allergies. Data showed that no patient needed a second dose of epinephrine within 15 minutes post-dose, and neffy provided similar efficacy to existing epinephrine therapies. Most patients experience significant symptom relief within five minutes of administration.
According to a pediatric allergist at UT Southwestern and director of the Food Allergy Center at Children&#8217;s Medical Center in Dallas, Neffy could be particularly beneficial for adults hesitant to self-inject and parents uneasy about injecting their children.
Neffy&#8217;s small size—roughly half the size of an iPhone—also makes it easier to carry, potentially boosting compliance among high-risk patients.
A 2023 study found that only about 40% of those at high risk consistently carry their auto-injectors, citing inconvenience and a false sense of security as primary reasons.
The NPR report <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40467939/ars-pharmaceuticals-neffy-uniquely-positioned-with-potential-to-change-allergy-treatment-paradigm-fo" rel="noreferrer noopener">adds</a> that ARS Pharmaceuticals took over eight years to develop Neffy. It offers several advantages over auto-injectors like the EpiPen.
Its shelf life extends to two years, compared to the typical 12-18 months for auto-injectors, and it can withstand temperature fluctuations, unlike EpiPens, which must be stored at room temperature.
The report notes that Neffy could become the preferred option in public settings like schools and airplanes due to its ease of storage and use.
However, some physicians remain cautious, as they highlight that Neffy has not been tested in patients experiencing real-time anaphylactic reactions, raising concerns about its efficacy.
Nasal congestion during an allergic reaction could block the drug&#8217;s absorption, potentially worsening the reaction.
Insurance coverage is another uncertainty. ARS is working with insurers to get Neffy approved, a process that could take up to six months.
Since Mylan acquired U.S. rights to the EpiPen in 2007, its price has come under scrutiny due to a 600% increase, now retailing between $650 and $750 without insurance. The generic version ranges from $150 to $200 per GoodRx data. 
ARS Pharma announced that most patients with commercial insurance covering Neffy can pay $25 for two single-use devices through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/g40290428/ars-pharmaceuticals-receives-fda-approval-of-neffy-epinephrine-nasal-spray-the-first-and-only-need" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">co-pay savings program</a>. 
For uninsured patients, those with plans not covering Neffy or those with high out-of-pocket costs, ARS Pharma offers a $199 cash price for two doses via BlinkRx, also available through GoodRx. Additionally, eligible uninsured or underinsured individuals in the U.S. can access Neffy for free through ARS Pharma&#8217;s Patient Assistance Program.
Despite these developments, some doctors plan to delay prescribing Neffy initially, citing the administrative burden of navigating insurance coverage for a new drug.
Price Action: SPRY stock is up 1.92% at $13.45 at the last check on Monday.

As regulatory scrutiny intensifies around Delta-8 THC, industry experts are raising concerns about its impact on both the cannabis and hemp markets. Beau Whitney, founder and chief economist at Whitney Economics, who will speak at the upcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/">Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference</a> in Chicago, sheds light on how these tightening regulations could stifle market growth and economic potential.
"The tightening of hemp-derived regulations is appropriate in some areas, like age verification, labeling, and testing," Whitney acknowledged. However, he warns that further restrictions could have far-reaching negative consequences.
"Further tightening in other areas is having a long-term suppressive effect on the overall marijuana growth trajectory. So legislators and regulators are ultimately hurting the future growth of the marijuana market through their actions."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economic Consequences for Hemp and Cannabis Markets</h3>
Whitney also emphasized the broader economic ramifications of these regulatory shifts, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39637557/delta-8-thc-hemp-regulation-moves-forward-in-nj-sparks-debate-between-alcohol-and-cannabis-indus">particularly in states like New Jersey</a>, imposing stricter rules on Delta-8 THC and related compounds. The tightening of these regulations is creating significant uncertainty in the market, which, in turn, is dampening investor confidence and hindering infrastructure development. 
"This tightening on hemp-derived products is also having a profound effect on the fiber and grain markets," Whitney pointed out, highlighting the broader implications beyond just the cannabis industry. Whitney estimated that the economic impact of these regulations resulted in a staggering $20 billion in lost potential in 2022 alone. His firm&#8217;s long-term outlook isn&#8217;t any brighter as it adjusts its forecasts in response to these developments.
"As a result of tighter regulations on hemp and the uncertainty this is causing, we are lowering our 2030 hemp grain acreage forecast by 3 million acres. The lowering of this 2030 grain forecast is, in effect, a $2.1 billion decrease in farmers' revenue forecast based on USDA pricing and output estimates from 2022," Whitney said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Want To Learn More?</h3>
As the cannabis and hemp industries navigate these regulatory challenges, Whitney&#8217;s upcoming presentation at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/">Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference</a> will provide attendees with crucial insights. His expertise in cannabis economics and deep understanding of how policy decisions impact market dynamics will be key for those looking to stay ahead of the curve in this rapidly evolving industry.
The tightening regulations on Delta-8 THC serve as a stark reminder of the complex interplay between policy and market growth. Whitney&#8217;s perspective highlights the need for a balanced approach to regulation that fosters both public safety and economic opportunity. His insights at the upcoming conference promise to offer valuable guidance for stakeholders navigating this challenging landscape.
