Hey, it's Max with today's edition of On the Record. When does On the Record come out whenever my

hangover subsides. I have so much to share with you today. Not the least of which is how Donald

Trump is killing our collective brain cells. And now we're all dumber. We're giving flowers to

Brittany Page of the page perspective, talking about an aspect of the looming private credit crisis

that financial pundits

are not talking about, some other goofy shit that happened this week and headlines from the

American prospect, the lever, and current affairs. Who's excited? A couple of quirky and interesting

things to catch up on before we get into serious territory.

Big news and big tech with CEO Tim Apple, who's stepping away from cooking.

We appreciate it very much, Tim Apple.

See, told you Trump's making me dumber.

That's right.

Tim Cook is stepping down as CEO of Apple, so hopefully they'll start making, you know, new tech products instead of

gold plaques for the president. My boy, Cash Money Patel is going for the cash, indeed. He's suing

the Atlantic over its bombshell. And you still call it a bombshell if like nobody was surprised.

Anyway, bombshell report that Cash Patel is often drunk during work hours and late to meetings

after partying the night before. He's also purportedly super paranoid about losing his job because

of it. Personally, I don't think he has to worry. Only women in Trump's cabinet have to step down

over day drinking. And yes, if you're keeping track, Lori Chavez-Daremer is out as Labor Secretary,

joining Pam Bondi and Christy Noem on the unemployment line, although that one hits a little bit harder

when you put it that way, doesn't it?

Anyway, back to my man Cash.
