Hey, better babes. It's Jonathan Van Ness. And welcome to the Monday Edit. This week, like every week, we are joined by our senior producer, Chris. Say hi, Chris.

0:09.0

Bonjour. Happy Labor Day, everybody. It is about to be full. We are literally like three quarters through the year. I cannot even believe it. And as usual, you're finding us breaking

0:21.6

down the newest pop culture, TikTok drama, Are We Ever, Beauty Wrecks, and expanding on the topics

0:25.8

of covering over on getting better. Our show that drops every Wednesday here on the podcast

feed and on YouTube and it's full video glory. Chris, can I just say that sometimes I feel like

0:34.9

the Monday edit is like our alter ego to getting better.

0:39.7

It's almost like, this is our Sasha Fierce and getting better is like, I am.

0:43.8

I am dot, dot, dot. Thank you. It was I. Yeah. Getting better is I am. Dot, dot, dot. And
