And we know 20 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: for several years Britney Spears was in a conservatorship. And 21 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: now this conservativeship followed a health crisis that. 22 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 3: Britney Spears was going through. 23 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 2: There were, you know, allegations of drug use and allegations 24 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 2: of alcohol abuse, and there was an obvious mental breakdown 25 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: in two thousand and eight when Britney Spears had a 26 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 2: few different you know things that happened, including her shaving 27 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 2: her head and then you know, she was fifty one 28 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: fifty and there was just a lot that went down. 29 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: So Britney Spears was in the Conservative Ship. She was 30 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: in that conservativeship for about thirteen years. That conservativeship ended 31 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one. It was led by her dad, 32 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: Jamie Spears, who gained control over her finances, her day 33 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 2: to day health, her day to day you know, what 34 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: she does, how she does it, who has access to her, 35 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: and all of this was done for the protection of 36 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 2: Britney Spears. But there was a whole free Britney Spears movement, 37 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: which I was living in LA at the time. And 38 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: when I say movement, I mean like it was a 39 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: real movement. Like I remember the Free Britney Spears protests. 40 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: There are there were Facebook groups that I was like 41 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: speaking to during the protest and different things. And Brittany 42 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: was going back and forth to court and she was 43 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 2: fighting to get out of the Conservative Ship. She was 44 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 2: fighting for her dad not to have control over her life, 45 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: and just so many different things and it actually happened. Now, 46 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: when it happened, one of the biggest questions was how 47 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 2: will her life be now and will Britney Spears be okay? 48 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,839 Speaker 2: And since twenty twenty one, there have been various things 49 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 2: that have come up. I mean reports of you know, 50 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: her allegedly pulling knives on people, and you know, issues 51 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 2: with her boyfriend or boyfriend at the time, sam Asgari, 52 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 2: who was you know, a background dancer and her boyfriend 53 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: at the time, and you know, conversations about her living conditions. 54 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 3: And the cleanliness of that. 55 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: And you know, these aged medicine cocktails that she's supposed 56 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: to be taken for whatever health issue it is that 57 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: she deals with, and reports of her not taking them. 58 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 2: There's just been things all over the place since her conservativeship. 59 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 2: Some of the videos she's posted online have not been 60 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 2: the best. Some of them have been very troubling, and 61 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 2: people are still having the conversation about whether or not 62 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: freeing Britney Spears from that conservativeship was helpful or harmful 63 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: to her. And now this DUI arrest happens in twenty 64 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: twenty six, some five years later. Since Britney Spears was 65 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 2: freed from that conservativeship. So I wanted to have a 66 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: conversation about that, but I wanted to do it in 67 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: a way that wasn't just less report on it and 68 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: move on, because I think when I talk about mental 69 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: health and people that deal with it, whether it's like 70 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: in addiction, whether it's a Kanye West and everything that 71 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 2: we see him go through in the public, I think, 72 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: or you know, a Wendy Williams, I think people can 73 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: be very touch and go as if this is something that, 74 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: like you report on it, you can just move on from. 75 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: But if you're the real person or the family of 76 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: these people, or just very connected fans, and Britney Spears 77 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: has that very connected fans, it's something that you're dealing 78 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: with on a day to day because you know, today 79 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: is March sixth, twenty twenty six, right, But and we'll 80 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: talk about this, and you know, maybe we'll talk about 81 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 2: it for a week or maybe two weeks, but in 82 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: a day to day Britney Spears will have to deal 83 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 2: with whatever the consequences of this are, whether it's jail 84 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 2: time or rehabilitation or both, and so will her family. 85 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 2: So I wanted to bring on someone to the podcast 86 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 2: to have a conversation with me about this who does 87 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 2: work in this space?

What do you do then, Like if Conservativeship 179 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: isn't like, so she's not fully in a conservative ship 180 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 2: and you want to be gentle. 181 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 3: Of all those things. So what does that look like? 182 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: You're come in full force with a team. 183 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 4: And I know this was done before, but I think 184 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 4: before there was there was a lot more of out 185 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 4: of control and you know, a lot more self harm here. 186 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 4: You know, she is doing some harm. But I think 187 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 4: step one is not the conservativeship. 188 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: It's the steps we take, the steps to help. 189 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 4: Where are the people that are going to come in 190 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 4: and help her kind of form a barrier around her, 191 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 4: see if they're able to come in and kind of 192 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 4: get some help, therapy, whatever it is. You just don't 193 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 4: automatically go into a conservative ship. 194 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: I know it's. 195 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 4: Reported in TMC her sons are going to come visit, 196 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 4: some families going to come in. 197 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: I think that's that's very important. You know, people who. 198 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 4: Are in a space where they're dean maybe conservatorship, there's 199 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 4: a trust component that. 200 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: They deal with. 201 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 4: It's a fear that they don't trust everyone because everyone's 202 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 4: going to come up to them and tell them that 203 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 4: they're crazy or they need to be locked up. 204 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: That's why they kind of. 205 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 4: Disassociate themselves with people, and they don't trust anybody because 206 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 4: everybody just wants to put them away. She has to 207 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 4: be around trusted people who are going to work with her, 208 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 4: who are professionals, who are. 209 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: Going to understand her day to day. 210 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 4: Just taking someone and locking them up again and just 211 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 4: not putting anything structured and just treating them as robots, 212 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 4: it's not the way to go. There has to be steps, 213 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 4: steps to her family. Let's see what the family does, 214 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 4: Let's see how much help they get her. But she 215 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 4: has to get a trust, a build up of trust, 216 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 4: because you remember she was traumatized by the previous Conservatives ship. 217 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 2: Well in her previous conservativeship. I just want to break 218 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 2: down like what she was and was not allowed to do. 219 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 2: I mean she really wasn't allowed to do anything honestly correct. 220 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: It was financial control. So you know, she had like 221 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: a sixty million dollar fortune at that time because she's 222 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: the Britney Spears and her dad had complete control over 223 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 2: that over her estate, controlled all the business deals, you know, expenses, investments, 224 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 2: and there's always been an argument, like she even argued 225 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 2: in court that she was not happy with how some 226 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: things were utilized and how and where money was going. 227 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 2: I think that that's always an issue with the conservatorship. 228 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 2: But then there was like personal medical decisions. So she 229 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 2: was forced to take medicine and I won't say forced, 230 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: but she was, you know, they were having her take medicines, 231 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: undergo therapy. She had spent some time in a mental 232 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: health facility. At one point she claimed that that was 233 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 2: like against her will. They also had autonomy or like 234 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 2: decision making over whether she could reproduce or have children, 235 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, or not, and just you know, 236 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: her movement, who could come visit her, where she could go, 237 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 2: if she could even like put out music, like all 238 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: of that was controlled. And you know, I get what 239 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 2: you're saying, but I guess it's like where in this 240 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 2: mix of things, Like so right now, if a judge 241 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 2: were to see this, could someone go back and say, hey, judge, 242 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 2: I know you got her out of the conservativeship in 243 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, but look at this. She could have 244 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 2: killed herself with someone she needs something legally again, could 245 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 2: that happen? 246 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 4: It could if there's a strong a strong push for it. 247 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 4: But the person that's putting in that show, you have 248 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 4: to remember when you go to the courts. 249 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: It's very black and white. It's not warm and fuzzy, right. 250 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 4: They're not going to be like, oh, let's help her, 251 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 4: let's put in this step program to mentally and physically 252 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 4: get her to a place where you know she'd be 253 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 4: able to kind of be okay out in the community. 254 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: It's either you know, you come in. 255 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 4: We put you in a conservativeship and we take away 256 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 4: everything from you, or you try to work it out 257 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 4: in the community. I don't believe her having this DUI 258 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 4: pushes her into a conservativeship. What I do believe is 259 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 4: that there has to be a team that comes in 260 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 4: right and puts a plan and mental health professionals, and 261 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 4: it has to be done very slowly and carefully, because 262 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 4: that whole list that you've read to me about what 263 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 4: she could not do that is not healthy. That is 264 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 4: not keeping a person safe, right. That's controlling them, treating 265 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 4: them like a robot and just having them do whatever 266 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 4: you want. 267 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: It's just very controlling. 268 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 4: And conservatorships were meant and built to help people, to 269 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 4: keep them safe, to protect them, not to control them 270 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 4: and take a time meet away from them. 271 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: I get you, I get you, and I did see 272 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 2: the story where you know, I saw you know, some 273 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 2: some further reporting where they were talking about how her 274 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 2: children are set to visit her and that'll you know, 275 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 2: that'll help her. 276 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: And that's helpful. Yeah. 277 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 2: I just I'm my thing with Britney Spears, and I 278 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 2: think this was you know, I've had conversations with you 279 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 2: about Wendy Williams when I was reporting a lot on that, 280 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 2: and my biggest thing is is, you know, not all 281 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 2: the time do you have family members who can endure 282 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: all of this to kind of step it? And I 283 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 2: know her dad he went through the ringer with just 284 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 2: he was dragged like Jamie Spears was the villain. He 285 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 2: was dragged. He was the most horrible person. But this 286 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 2: is still his daughter. So it's like, if he doesn't 287 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 2: want to be involved and she doesn't have anybody, and 288 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 2: it gets to a point where, you know, maybe they 289 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 2: discover or you know whatever, maybe he does get to 290 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 2: a point where she needs something guardianship wise, who steps 291 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 2: up them? Because we're looking at what happened with Wendy 292 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 2: Williams in the court being in control and she's miserable, 293 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 2: you know now with that, so it's like, is it 294 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: just the court, like what happens in that instant, because 295 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 2: it's like almost like she's abandoned, like she doesn't have 296 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 2: a person. 297 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 4: Correct, And I don't know Britney's family tree, God. 298 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: Guardianship and conservativeships. 299 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 4: That there's a foundation and that's family. And if you 300 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 4: don't have a family that you are able to trust, 301 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 4: or the court feels they cannot trust you, then you 302 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 4: cannot go to your family, which is why it's always 303 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 4: good to have a family, bond with the potential ward 304 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 4: and develop a trust so that the system doesn't take 305 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 4: them and body snatch them and take them away from everybody. 306 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 4: Because it's always either you're in a conservative conservatorship. 307 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: Or you're not. There's never a middle, right, and. 308 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 4: There should be a middle, and that's what's missing here 309 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 4: in this whole structure, the middle part. 310 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: People don't want to take the time right. 311 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 4: It's a lot of work, it is, and the court 312 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 4: doesn't have that time, and that's not how they plan. 313 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 4: It's either you're going to come in or you're not. 314 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 4: And so that's where there should be a middle. The 315 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 4: middle should start forming right now. She had this COI, Hey, 316 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 4: this is an alarm for us. Let's see if we 317 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 4: can gather up as a family, let's see, we could 318 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 4: try to build up trust. She's been through a lot. 319 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 4: We have to kind of focus on the person with 320 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 4: the mental health issue. We tend to blame a lot, 321 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 4: We tend to make fun of, you know, everything that 322 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 4: but there is something and that we need to respect 323 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 4: that they don't get, yeah, which is why they run 324 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 4: away from help. 325 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I get you. 326 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 2: So when you talk about help them, right and closing, 327 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: we talk about help, you know, I'm seeing the reporting 328 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 2: of like you know, of course her family and close 329 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 2: friends they want her to not have to do jail time, 330 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 2: which could be on the table. But I think once 331 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 2: they do a mental health evaluation, hopefully they see that like, 332 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 2: this is something bigger than just a person who just 333 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 2: decided to just you know, be reckless and drink and drive. 334 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 3: Right. 335 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: But because also too, there's other report that there was 336 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 2: a potential control substance found in the car. So that 337 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 2: makes it it's very in line with everything that she 338 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: was getting in trouble with before her conservativeship. Right, So 339 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 2: they talk about they would rather have rehabilitation, see her 340 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 2: in rehabilitation and in jail. 341 00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 3: What does rehabilitation look like though? 342 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: Is it? 343 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 2: Because I think just putting her in a rehab facility. 344 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 2: Britney Spears has been to rehab facilities. 345 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know a. 346 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 4: Lot of people who have a mental health condition. Again, 347 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 4: I know, I sound like a it's repetitive. It's a 348 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 4: trust component, right. Everybody wants to drug them, everybody. 349 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: Wants to call them crazy. 350 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 4: And so rehab to a person who has a mental 351 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 4: issue is finding someone that they can trust, right and 352 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 4: working with that person step by step by step. 353 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: And it takes a lot of work. 354 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 4: You're not gonna get it on the first try, the 355 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 4: second try, it's going to be a whole bunch of 356 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 4: times because you need to put in that routine. It's 357 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 4: like trying to teach a baby how to walk. You 358 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 4: don't stop teaching them because they fell. You pick them 359 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 4: up and you teach them how to walk again. 360 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: And that's how you deal with rehabilitation. 361 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 4: And unfortunately a lot of these programs do not have 362 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 4: the time. 363 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: A lot of them just want the money. 364 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 4: So that's a missing component in our world right now, 365 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 4: that middle ground to really understand someone what they're going through, 366 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 4: how we can fix it, who they can trust, what 367 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 4: is it that they want?
