0:00.0 | Sup ya beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Wednesday Philip DeFranco show. It is Wednesday, |
0:04.9 | June 30th, 2021. Hit that like button. Otherwise, it'll absolutely punch you in the throat. |
0:10.0 | And let's just jump into it. And the first thing that we're going to talk about today, |
0:13.2 | I mean, just on a personal note, it's not something that I feel very comfortable talking about. |
0:16.8 | It just brings up memories from one of the worst periods of my life. But I've been getting more and more questions about this over the past several months and especially over the past 24 |
0:25.2 | hours. So let's talk about it. BetterHelp. If you're unfamiliar, BetterHelp connects you with private |

1:13.2 | They've also sponsored one of the biggest podcasts in the world, The Daily. |
1:15.9 | Now, most notably in the past 24 hours, we saw Ariana Grande announcing that she was partnering with BetterHelp to give out a million dollars in free therapy, |
1:23.2 | that then today getting up to $2 million. |
