0:00.0	Hey Better Maves, I'm Jonathan Van Ness.
0:04.0	And welcome to the Monday Edit.
0:05.3	This week, like every week, we are joined by our senior producer Chris.
0:07.9	Say hi, Chris.
0:09.0	Hi.
0:10.7	We're here breaking down the news, pop culture, TikTok drama, beauty, wrecks,
0:14.0	and expanding the topics we're covering over on getting better.
0:16.9	Our show that drops every Wednesday here on the podcast feed and on YouTube in its full
