I say better. You say babes. Better. Babes. Better. Babes. Good job, Chris. It's Jonathan Van Ness. And welcome to the Monday edit this week like every week. We have our senior producer, Chris, honey, we are breaking down. You guessed it the news. Pop culture, TikTok drama, beauty wrecks and expanding on the topics we're covering over on getting

better, our show that drops every Wednesday here on the podcast feed and on YouTube in its full

video glory. Last week, we were giving you a Golden Girl style recap with the cheesecake and all.

It's their 40th anniversary of the Golden Girls by now. And also, can I just say, I love that show so much. I'll never get over it.

But I do think I should sue all four of their estates for the tuition of my first year of college

and Lifetime TV network because those are the reasons why I dropped out of college with the 1.7 GPA.

I could not drag myself away. Like four hours of Golden Girls every morning for a young gay, that nearly

fried my brain. I can't believe I survived it. The reruns are what's really keeping people

out of school for sure. Yeah. What I want to go back and research the Golden Girls for, I do

feel like, look, they were pushing the envelope. They were giving you HIV. They were giving you obesity. They were giving you like, they were giving you hot topic issues like before anyone else was. Like, they were giving you body positivity. Oh yeah. They taught us about fibromyalgia before fibromyalgia had a name. However, Hello. I do think Blanche's daughter changed like eight times. Like, I feel like that was like eight different actresses, but it was always like the same daughter. But she was like, she was like, I feel like Blanche's daughter. Like I just want to go back to some of the guest stars and like research because I just feel like it's giving a little bit and just like that in the sense that like clearly some of the writers were not. I was literally about to say. Yes. Like maybe not researching. Literally about to say. Yeah. You know, that's why I have my best friend Patty. You know, watch old episodes of queer. I'd make sure I'm not doing the same lesson 19 times. Exactly. So God lover. And also, can I just say you guys? I feel like I was like busy filming the week.

Well, it's like this last month has been busy, but filming this last season of Queer Eye,

but I feel like the truth about death episode with Nurse Julie.

That was really, that was a couple weeks ago, but that was really resonating with you guys.

People keep talking to me about that episode specifically. So if you didn't get to that one or if you felt like, oh, I don't want to hear about death. That feels scare or sad. People are just hitting me up left, right and center about that episode that they learned something really important, that it wasn't like a scare, scare thing. And it actually did some of our best metrics metrics lately so which means maybe you already did hear it but just saying it's late for that

I hope you got something out of our gorgeous little golden girls episode and this week on

getting better we have dr. Caroline Leif her new book is out this week it's help in a hurry

it's all about giving yourself an insurance policy on that gorgeous brain of ours and how to

handle life's most stressful moments by learning a technique that I've literally, you guys, since I've been,

since I've had her on the pod, this was like last week, but you know, you just haven't heard it yet.

I've done this technique like eight times, Chris. Obviously, when you saw me setting up for this morning's

episode. Yeah. I didn't employ it yet,

but I haven't played it in a few other challenges, and it's really been slaying.
