| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 995 Mac Daily for Thursday, December 11th, 2025. I'm your host, Chance Miller. We are |
| 0:09.6 | sponsored this week by Backblaze. Leading off today, Jeff Williams wasted no time finding his |
| 0:15.3 | next thing after retiring from Apple. The former Apple chief operating officer has now been nominated to Disney's |
| 0:22.3 | board of directors. Williams officially retired from Apple last month after handing over the COO role |
| 0:28.7 | to Sabi Khan earlier in the year. Variety now says Disney has expanded its board to include the |

| 1:22.6 | Iger is in his second stint as CEO of Disney. |
| 1:25.6 | He previously stepped away for more than two years, but returned |
| 1:29.4 | in November 2022 after tumultuous leadership of Bob Chappek. With Williams joining the board of |
| 1:36.6 | directors, he will almost certainly play a role in helping ease that transition from Iger to |
| 1:41.8 | whoever's next. Next to today, Apple CEO Tim Cook was spotted in |
| 1:45.8 | Washington, D.C. this week, where he met with lawmakers to push back against proposed app store |
| 1:51.3 | age policies that Apple says don't protect user privacy. Cook met directly with members of the |
