0:00.0	Hey Better Babes, it's Jonathan Van Ness, and welcome back to the Monday Edit. This week,
0:05.9	like every week, we are joined by our senior producer Chris. Say hi, Chris.
0:08.9	Bonjour. We're here breaking down the news, pop culture, TikTok drama, beauty wrecks, and
0:13.3	expanding on the topics we're covering over on getting better, our show that drops every Wednesday
