| 0:00.0 | This is a really big deal. It's a big day. It's a different intro. I'm not doing what I always do because today I'm wearing a scarf. I told y'all hoes. I was a scarf person now. Put my money where my mouth is. I'm out here looking like a non-binary HIV positive Eminem. First thing on a Monday morning. Okay. Welcome back to the Monday edit. This is Jonathan Bennis coming in hot. This week like every week we're joined by our executive producer, Chris. Hi, Chris. Bonjour. Chris, you look stunning this morning. I love your wig. We didn't get to see her last week. I'm not in that same Seattle hoodie. I know. We're so different. |
| 0:37.8 | We're so different now. |
| 0:39.0 | Yeah. |
| 0:39.8 | New people. |
| 0:40.9 | We made it through another week. |
| 0:42.4 | We are barreling towards summer in North America. |
| 0:46.3 | And I am headed to England on that note. |
| 0:49.7 | Speaking of Northern Hemisphere, not North America, but speaking of Northern Hemisphere, if you're in London, if you're in Manchester, if you're in Glasgow, if you are in... There's another one, Chris. What's that other one? Nottingham. Nottingham. If you're one of those four cities, get you some tickets. If you're in Bristol, thank you so much for selling that out. It really means so much to me. It makes me feel like you like me, |
| 1:13.5 | which just makes me feel so good. It's very Sally Field. You know what I saw about that, |
| 1:19.1 | not to go right off script right at the very top. Go for you. I love a Sally Field. Take me there. |
| 1:23.2 | I saw on TikTok, and this is not part of a TikTok roundup. You guys are just getting like an extra |
| 1:27.2 | special jiblet. |
| 1:28.6 | But her, that quote of, you like me, really like me. |
| 1:32.4 | That is the most misquoted speech quote of all time, |
| 1:36.4 | according to this TikTok thing I saw. |
| 1:38.2 | Yeah. |
| 1:38.5 | Because what she really said was, I'm going to mess it up, |
| 1:42.3 | but it's something like, and, you know, it can't be denied, you like me. You like me. She doesn't say you like me, you really like me. She just says, you like me. Pause, you like me. And we really are out here saying like you like me, you really like me. And it's just not the case. Chris is fact checking right now. |
| 2:01.3 | I'm fact checking right now because this is, I can't deny the fact that you like me. Right now you like me right now. Oh, really? And right now gets switched. That's so crazy. That's like that is some good like Mandela effect right there. It's like, oh my God, no. Never did know. Yeah. So now you guys know. I learned it on TikTok and you didn't even know so much so that you literally second guest to be live. It wasn't up there. I was second guessing. I was just like, let me get those. Let's get those straight. Let's like let's just want the girls know. Chris, I can tell the difference between like when you're doing a fact check to confirm when something's right versus like, I'm not sure. I've known you long enough. And there was like a, |
| 2:36.0 | I feel like there was like a subtle, |
| 2:37.5 | little, like, I'm not sure in your eye. Like maybe you were like not talking, but I'd be like, am I wrong? Did I totally misguess that through the internet? I feel like there was like a subtle, are you sure? Like I felt like there's crossed wires over Wi-Fi. Who knows? Who even knows? |
| 2:52.3 | That's what I learned. And it was, so I'm really glad that we all, like, yeah, so that's what I learned. |
