| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 995 Mac Daily for Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025. |
| 0:07.1 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:09.1 | We are sponsored this week by Narwal. |
| 0:12.2 | Leading off today, for better or for worse, AI chatbots have become a go-to source for many people's questions about health and fitness. |
