I hope that everyone who has bought tickets is super excited. Thank you to everyone who's bought tickets. If you haven't been able to get tickets, I apologize.

Obviously, you know, we talked about this. We're doing a limited amount, but we're going to do, if all goes as planned. And not to be that guy, but like, it's really not our fault. We're really so sorry. We have to use these third party ticket sellers that you know, we obviously don't work for or have

anything to do with them. And you guys are all just so amazing that the sites can't handle it. We keep crashing all the sites. Yeah. The sites can't, we've changed it, we've tried other things and the sites just can't seem to handle the volume of you people, which is great for us to hear. We are sorry that is happening for you guys.

But on top of that, if you just haven't been able to get a ticket in general, maybe you can't make that date, whatever it is, we're going to do another tour after this if everything works out great, which I think it will. I'm very excited. And we can't mention this tour with. talking about our great sponsor, Sling TV. I'm also loving the weather right now. It's great fall weather.

And one of my favorite things to do is sit in my backyard with a nice little blankie on my couch and I got the TV out there. And guess what I got on the TV outside? Slink TV. The other night I was watching Just Go With Adam Sandler on Slink TV the other night. Slink TV comes in handy. They also have a bunch of the barstool shows on there as well. So not only do you get sports and movies and just everything.

that you get on cable TV. You also get a lot of the barstool shows, including chicks in the office. It's so easy to because there's no like all the plugs and contracts and like you just hook it up. You're good to go. Right. So go to sling.com slash barstool and you will get your first month starting at $10. I'm telling you guys it's worth it. You don't have cable. Get Sling TV. You'll get all the channels that you need, especially like it's outdoor TV season. Like I said, in my own outdoor TV. I got Sling. It has me cover. Go to sling.com slash barstool and get yours first month starting at $10. And thank you Sling for sponsoring

the checks in the office tour. We love you. And maybe a lucky person who comes to the tour may get some Sling TV in their life. I don't know. We have fun plans for the show. And I'm just looking forward to that. Like, you know, Thursdays just getting pumped up for the show. What are we

going to do on Thursdays? Like a ritual. You know, I'm just excited for that day to get the energy going. It's going to be good. So we're feeling great, or at least I'm feeling great. How are you doing, friend? I feel great. I am very excited for this weekend. Just if you could give me the ideal fall weekend, it would be this weekend that's happening right now.

Because not only am I seeing, yeah, hello, not only am I seeing two of my best friends who I don't get to spend that much time with. I'm seeing them Friday night. Saturday is the Jones Brothers Show at Jones Beach and Sunday is Harry Styles at Madison Square Garden I believe as of right now I will be at Harry Styles both nights Sunday and Monday

that is my plan for right now and I would be going to the I would be going to the George Brothers Tuesday at PNC but it is the Bachelor in Paradise finale so unfortunately I can't make that happen but my heart goes out to all those who are going to be at PNC Bank on Tuesday because that is my home. Like seeing the Jones Brothers outside at PNC is where I saw them the most.

You know, you talk about Jones Beach all the time. PNC was my Jones Beach and would see them there like from the early on their first tour and all those things. I saw them at PNC. So I'm really sad I can't be at that one because it would be pretty wild. And I don't know how I'd be feeling on Wednesday. I would actually I'd actually be bad for my health I don't think I'm going to be able to speak

Imagine if I went Jones Brothers, Harris House, Harris-Sales, Jones Brothers four days in a row Right, and then we have the tour on Wednesday night Yeah, and then we're going straight into a live show Our own live show is going to be right Where I can't speak because I've just been screaming for other people I thought about I'm first of all so excited for this weekend as well

Like I just Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday Sunday Sunday My heart It's Saturday Sunday My heart might explode on Sunday night. I have waited to see this man, Harry Stiles, since 2019 when I cried at his show.

I have been thinking every morning to myself, like, what am I? Like, I need to look good on Sunday, like, for the Harry Style show. As if Harry Stiles has even a slim chance of spotting me out in the crowd. I just want to lose myself. I'm already fully preparing. I know that, like, you know, I would love to film the concert and, like, have videos for myself.

I know you're going to do that. So I'm just going to let you do that. I'm going to keep my phone in my pocket the whole time and fully emerge myself in the show. I'm going to do shrooms. My sister's coming with us also and she's very good at capturing as well. So I think we'll be fully covered.

I always want to be that person. I'm like, I'm going to live in the moment. I don't want to be on my phone the whole time to do the concert. And then certain things happen. I just can't resist. I have to. I have to record some of it. I just have to.

You're big on that. that I really don't take out my phone. When I'm out, I like really don't take out my phone. I don't know. It's like something happens and I'm like I just can't even I can't even look at this right now. I can't even like I don't know. I even at a concert. I'm like I'd love to capture this right now. But I feel like I'm going to lose the moment. Although you know, then you'll have them forever. But it's going to be a great weekend. Very exciting. Perfect fall weekend. The weather's the weather is just perfect right now. So nice. And my first time I'm going to Jones Beach. Ever. Fucking love Jones Beach. Yeah. I'm excited. You know what's really great is I have a.

I have a Jonas Brothers. It's going to be windy though. Gene jacket. That is it? I mean, it's going to be windy at Jones Beach because it's on the water. Oh, yeah. I mean, yeah. No.

It does get cold tonight, which is why I, this will be the first time I can wear the jean jacket that you got me. Yeah. And the reason I'm pointing that out is because I went to get my hair blown out last weekend. Not last weekend. Last week. And the Dave Matthews concert was at Jones Beach the night before and a girl walked in and she had gotten her hair blown out the day before.

She came back and was like my hair got messed up because it was too windy at Jones Beach. Oh, yeah, yeah. Very fair. That's why I was pointing out that it was going to be windy. Very fair. Well, I'll be good to go. But no, I was saying that I have my Jones Brothers jean jacket

that you got me. It has, you know, the Jones brothers painted on the back, which I can wear Saturday. And then Sunday you have your hair style's jean jacket that you have like we're just going to be fucking decked out two fan girls. I'm so excited. I haven't fangled in a while,

and I'm really excited to get that going this weekend. It does. We have a great episode today with Erin Lim Rhodes from E. If you follow along with E, which I'm sure if you follow this show, then you do keep up with that. She's on the show and we're going through topics with her. We're talking about Jesse Palmer as the Doom Bachelor host,

Clarendale's breakup, and Britney Spears' conservatorship, her father, Jamie, has officially been taken off of it. So let's get into it. All right. everyone we are here with a very special guest we have ease erin limb roads with us now the first time she was on the show was just erin limb now you're married pregnant congratulations a lot has changed a lot it is there it is i love it we are so excited to have you back so much has changed in your life

not much has changed in ours, but we would love to hear about everything that has been going on with you. I mean, a pandemic, you get married, you're having a baby, so much. Yeah, give me a pandemic and I will come out thriving. Yes, married with a child. A whole other person. A full on whole other person. Like, I can't even wrap my head around it. Like, at the time that we spoke last year, if you would have told me, like, you would have told me,

I don't even think I was engaged at the time. If you would have said, like, guess what? A year from now, you're going to get engaged, get married, get a house, have a baby. I'm like, no, that's definitely not happening. But yeah, I mean, I feel so blessed and grateful that all of these things have happened. None of it was really planned. Like, I didn't even think my husband and I were going to get engaged when we did. Like, that was a total shocker.

and then even us getting married was kind of like it was all because of the pandemic why we did it so soon that turnaround. It was like we got engaged and it was like, you know, we could do the whole thing where we get married like a year from now, plan the big celebration. That's what we had intended to do. But we were like, gosh, we don't even know if we can even put a real date on the book. So let's just do the courthouse wedding and like just do it for ourselves. but then courthouses were closed. So, and you got to do it over Zoom, and we were like, we don't want to do it over Zoom. So we ended up having, like, a small ceremony in my parents' backyard with just our immediate family.

Because January was, like, pre-vaccine still, high COVID rates still. So we're like, it's got to just be like our brothers, sisters, parents and my Nonna. And my Nonna luckily got to be there. And she just passed in April. So that was really special that she got to see us get married. And then, um, freaking, yeah, like a week before my 30th birthday and a week before closing on a house, we find out we're pregnant. And that was not planned either.

We were not like, let's try having a baby. Like it was, I was off my birth control for like two days and then boom. That's unbelievable. Oh, man. Yeah. I was like, you know, switching packets. I don't know that's TMI, but yeah. No, no, no.

No, and four years. Yeah. Don't skip days on your birth funeral. Yeah. It reminded me I skipped a lot of days this week. Gotta get back on that. Yeah. Well, you're okay.

True. I'm like, who are you sleeping with? You're fine. Damn. Well, anyways, we're so happy for you. We love following you and watching your life evolve so quickly. And I actually love how quickly you did get engaged in. married. I talked about this the other day. Like, you know, people waited out and it's like, why not

just do it while you're feeling it? Yeah, do it while you're feeling it. Like, we're still on cloud nine. Like, let's make sure we do this thing. No, but also, we wanted to like start our lives. Like, we were talking about houses and looking for things and wanting to just like do things together already and we're like, well, it makes sense to do it married. That just makes sense for us. So then it was like, yeah. And it turned out that our like small, intimate ceremony was so beautiful. It was really about us. It was like food that we loved. It was chill. And it was good vibes with both of our families coming together and really hanging out and getting to know each other. And I wouldn't trade that for anything. So I'm like, you know,

maybe eventually we'll have a celebration or a party or vow renewal something. Our baby will be in the picture by then. So, you know, we'll do something to celebrate our union. But so far it's been really dope. It feels like we've been celebrating all year long. Yeah. And like you said, how nice is it that you were able to have your grandmother there at the time? And if you had, if you had waited and thought, oh, no, we're going to do it. We're going to do it. That probably wouldn't have happened. So that is really nice because I do, I remember seeing on social media, um, you posting about her and how close you guys were. So I feel like that is really, really special. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's really, really nice. And like you said, so,

busy but also work still going on. You're still crushing it. The rundown has hit so many milestones recently. Did you ever think that you would be doing this show on Snapchat for so long and that it would get to this point where you've done hundreds and hundreds of episodes? Oh my gosh. I literally could not even foresee any of that. Like even when I was approached to do the show, like that, that was so foreign and new like nothing had existed like this show before ours came out so it's like we were the thing to come out we were the show to come out and invent all of the vertical viewing that you see today like the way that shows are shot for snapchat for instagram for instagram for whatever for digital viewing it's like that was because of us like we stacked the videos we put text on screen and different

And like even like the topic headline bar, you know, where it's like what's kind of like, that was us. It was revolutionary. So it's cool to see how far media has come all together and how we were pretty much like paving the way for a lot of that. And, you know, it was so fun. I remember I remember the day where they were like, hey, so you're going to host a show on Snapchat. It's a Snapchat discovery hasn't ruled out yet, but you're going to be the first show on it. And at the time, they're like, it's going to be.

be one day a week and when it came out it got like millions of views like over three million views i want to say and they're like cool we're going to do two days a week and then it just kept growing and growing like we're going to do three days a week and i remember there was conversation about it's going to be seven days a week i'm like you know no one little stool i can't do that yeah yeah you know i mean if if they had it their way it would be on you know every single day but yeah a hundred i mean we're almost at eight hundred up episodes for five years in. Like, it's so fun. Like, that show really is my first baby and I don't want to go on maternity leave because I love it so much. We love it too. It's great. Obviously, it's

incredible that it's still going on after all these years. And it only get you, we have more and more guests on there. Like, you, I feel. Yeah, there's so many cool things. You go to all the events with it. It's awesome. Do you ever get tired of talking about pop culture? Because we're about to talk to you about some topics. I don't get tired of it. Although on weekends I try and like not look at the news feeds sometimes, you know, I try to be like present with my family, my husband. Like I try to sometimes turn off and then like, okay, Sunday night I'm back in it.

Like, but you can never really turn it off because like I'm constantly on Twitter like what's trending and like, you know, looking at all the things. You get a text from somebody. You definitely try to exactly until you get a text from someone being like, oh my God, did you see that this just happened? And you're like, ah, I missed it. It's funny because I have a lot of girlfriends who are, like, not pop culture fanatics the same way that we are, you know? So they, like, text me, you know, what's going on with so and so right now?

Like, give me the whole right. But, like, give it to me personally. Yeah. Just like, yo, watch my show. And they're like, no, no, I want you to text me a full synopsis. That is so funny. Always. That totally happens to us, too, where it's like,

Okay, I know that we are personal friends and you can obviously text me about whatever you want, but like I have a podcast. Listen, subscribe. We, you know, we do stuff on Instagram. We do stuff on Snapchat. Like, you could look and find out what I think about it. I'll go three months without talking to a friend and they'll text me and be like, yo, what's going on with so and so?

I'm like, you think I know personally. Like, I know the headline you saw is what I saw as well. It is nice that people do think we have an. inside like scoop like they're like they think we know them personally so they can get some kind of gossip and we're like no yeah and remember i mean last time we were talking about sources yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah we have like the email like sometimes i'll throw in a little gem like well you know this isn't out yet but or if i know something personally because like a friend yeah yeah oh my god i'm totally exposing myself no no we do same thing but no we absolutely do the same thing

sometimes yeah yeah it happens sometimes you got to like let a friend no, you know, they're not going to talk to anybody. They just want to know for their own good. It is what it is. Just to put it on the record to save my job, I'm not telling people information that they should know. Absolutely. We know you're not.

We're great at your job and we're not doing that either. We're not doing that either. Let's get into the topics that we want to go over with you. All right, we are going to get into some topics we have. But first, I want to say to Ria, that this weekend, I know we're very excited for what's going on in concerts and sports. events and everything and the best pair at all those events

is a nice Kors Light. I'm already imagining my Jones Beach Kores Light that I'm going to have is going to be so good because like I've said Coors Light tastes great and we love it so much but nothing tastes better than a Kores Light at a Jonas Brothers concert. That's a proven fact

backed by science. We only associate Kores Light with or Jones Brothers with Koreslite. Yes the two go hand in hand for us. It will go down as you know the greatest day in my entire life. And for that reason, I am so excited for this weekend to be hanging out, relaxing, and having my ice cold cores light, because it's literally the only beer that's made to chill. And I can't wait to just be chilling to the max. The mountains on the bottles and cans

turn blue when your beer is cold. When you need to hit reset, just open up a cores light. It's mountain cold refreshment. Like I said, made to chill, cold logger, cold filtered, cold packaged. It's as crisp and refreshing as the Colorado Rockies, perfect for a moment. moment to unwind or when you are jamming your little heart out to the Josh brothers. That's what I'm going to be doing. So that's why Coors Light is the one I choose when I need to unwind. So when you want to hit reset, reach for the beer that's made to chill. Get Coorslight and the new look delivered straight to your door with Drizzly or Instacart

by going to Coorslight.com slash chicks. Always remember to celebrate responsibly. It's coming from Coors Brewing Company, Golden Colorado. Cheers. Thank you guys. The world's most refreshing podcast. Yes. You follow The Bachelor a lot.

Jesse Palmer has been announced as the new Bachelor host. This kind of came out of nowhere. People have been wondering what was going to go on with that. He was obviously on the show back in 2004. He was a past NFL player. He's hosted other shows as well. So now he's going to host The Bachelor. What do you think about that?

Look, I watch The Bachelor. I'm a Bachelor fan. Very disappointed with what happened. with the Chris Harrison stuff. But even more disappointed that the show and the network went this direction. And it's no shade to Jesse Palmer personally. He's a great host. He was on the show, so I understand.

But this was a big missed opportunity. Like they could have selected someone who was either a person of color, maybe a female. I know the last season they did the dual female post situation, which also I wasn't very happy about because they had to have two females, which makes me believe that they're thinking, one female can't do this on her own. We need two females to fit this male role. And we can't just have a woman of color do it.

So we need to like balance it. And I don't know. I just feel like there's no, they have no faith that a person of color can, can host this show or that a female can't do it on her own. Like, it's really disheartening and it's like, come on, guys. Like, you really, you put out these statements. You've been under fire for so many different things.

It took you how many years to get the first black bachelor, the first black bachelorette? And you guys always say that, like, oh, you know, we're going to try our best and things are going to be different. But, like, are you really? really trying your best? Like where is your chief diversity officer that you brought in last summer with every other company? So, I don't know, it just seemed a little tone deaf. There are so many brilliant hosts who have great careers that it's like, those all could have invalid options. So I

don't know what happened here. You know, so I don't know, it's been kind of hard to fully support Bachelor Nation when they're making these types of decisions and even Michelle's selection of guys. I'm just like, okay. Yeah, we haven't met them yet. Maybe they could be maybe they're better than we think. Yeah, I haven't really looked through the guys, but I feel like Jesse Palmer was just like, all right, we're just going to get another Chris Harrison out there that's not Chris Harrison. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, they're really going to try hard to get the next Chris Harrison up in there. And this could be it.

I mean, if that's what they were going for, they nailed it. Right. It is interesting that they went this way with their show that is by far, you know, their most popular show out of the three that they do. You know, the Bachelor gets the most eyeballs. They have the most, the highest, the higher ratings over Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. So they bring in this guy who, yeah, you know, he definitely has the hosting experience. but it's also interesting because he's someone that kind of tried to distance himself from this show

for like a big part of his career, which I understand he went from being like the Bachelor and everyone talked to him about it and then he wanted like this career in sports and so he's on ESPN and he's talking about college football and it was very much like doesn't want to talk about the Bachelor and doesn't want to like talk about that. But now, you know, they probably offered him a lot of money

and he's hosting other shows. I feel like he, like he hopes. hosted the ultimate surfer on ABC, which was on this summer. And yeah, you're like, what the fuck is that? All I know is Kelly Slater's involved with that. We just watched nine million commercials for it because it always came on after Bachelor Rider Paradise. And I just feel like they were like, oh, you know, he did like a, he did a decent job.

Let's just give him the Bachelor job. But people were, you know, I don't know. It's lazy. Yeah, yeah. It feels so lazy. It's like you had all of these months and seasons in between. to do something, and this is where you went. Right.

Even with, like, having David Spade, like, that was so random. Like, I don't know. And that actually went really poorly, in my opinion. Like, all the guests hosts was really weird. And I thought maybe it wasn't going to be that weird, and it ended up just being so weird. It was so unnecessary. They didn't play a crucial part at all.

I really hope they're not involved in the next one. Like, I hope that they don't do a rotating cast for Bachelor in Paradise. I think it's pointless. Wells should be the permanent host of Bachelor in Paradise. I know a lot of people wanted... A lot of people wanted Wells to get to be the host of The Bachelor as well because he does such a good job on Paradise. But I think he makes so much sense on Paradise.

That should be his show. Yes. I think Wells needs to take over Paradise. Yeah. Yeah. And he does like the Chris Harrison type things now where it's like, I'm going to have that heart-to-heart conversation with Ivan or whatever and like, see what's up. it's like that's what Chris would have done so like Wells is totally qualified for it it's a fun young

edgy show like just letting him have that and then fucking find a new host yeah I feel like I feel like they could figure out Bachelor in Paradise with Wells he takes that over it fully becomes his thing and then they really just got to figure out the other two like they they're scrambling to figure out the Bachelor and Bachelor and Bachelor of yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I kind of agreed with what you said about Tasha and Caitlin. It's like, well, why didn't you pick two guys to host The Bachelor now, Jesse Palmer and somebody else? And it does suck because we love both of those women so much, right?

So like, it's hard to be like, okay, well, now they put them together. So what's it going to look like if they do decide to just go with one at some point and not the other one or if they get rid of both of them and bring in just one person to do Bachelorette? It is very interesting. It is a mess. And I said this on another show that I do too, that I really liked Emmanuel Hot Show

on the after the final rose for Matt James. I really liked him. I was about to say that. He could be the next Chris Harrison. Let's just give him a suit that gives him a little bit more breathing room because that's a very tight. He's a strong man. But he is a great host.

He's so grounded. and just can keep it real. And I feel like he would have good conversations with them along the way to guide them in their journeys. I mean, yeah, he's polished and he's great. So I don't know. He did a really good job. I remember because we were wondering, like,

how is he going to have this conversation with Rachel? How is he going to have this conversation with that? And it was really good because it wasn't like he was like yelling at anybody or like, it just was like a normal guy, just having a conversation, well-spoken to the point. so great and I do wish that that became something else within this franchise because, and you can say Jesse Palmer

oh, he was the bachelor, he was the bachelor in 2004. Like, the show is a completely different show. I don't think he has like necessarily any great insight or like advice to give to the next bachelor to be like, well, when I was on it, well, when you were on it, there was no social media. Also, they want to change with the times, but they're just going back in time. Like, they're just getting a guy from 2004.

Yeah. And like, I know Chris has hosted it since forever, but like, It's not like he was the Bachelor before he came on the show and I did like, you know, so it's not like you need some crazy expert. It's like you just need a good person. I don't know, captivate an audience. Talk to the people and someone like Emmanuel could do that. Literally anyone can do it.

So, what-ups? Yeah, I guess we'll see. Agreed. But in that Bachelor world, there was a breakup semi-announced. am I not this week that Claire and Dale have broken up? The story around this is that it was just time. It might have not necessarily ended that well between the two of them, but they think that they are done for good after, you know, they've gotten back together and broken up a couple times this year. So I kind of think that this might actually be for good this time. I think it's for

the best. I mean, they haven't deleted all of the photos yet. guys. That is true. That is true. I guess that really is the final test, huh? Once the photos come down, then you know it's for good. But the writing was on the wall for this one. I mean, since they

walked out of that Bachelor mansion before the season could even end, and then when we saw the interview, the post interview where, you know, I think it was kids were brought up, and then his face was like, and then Yeah, I just feel like this, this relationship sadly had a time, a deadline on it, you know?

And then it was like they broke up that first time. It's like, okay, they can try and rekindle it. But there was already all of those rumors surrounding Dale and his behavior and the best friend that was too close. And I don't know. It's hard to recover from that type of stuff. And then like Dale even said, like relationships are tough. And then having to do it in front of the public eye, like, yeah, throw that. on it and it's going to be very difficult and I think it was like I think they were when they left it

was like that honeymoon stage where you don't really know each other and then you are engaged and then you're living together and it's just I don't know I couldn't see it working you're engaged to a stranger like you really don't know them at all and I just I don't know it always seemed like Dale was really just looking to party or go out on the town and Claire's looking to settle down. Like I don't, I think Dale wants to experience that single life with his notoriety now. Like now that people know him, Dale could enter a whole new group of people. Right. He's got a whole new pool.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I feel bad for Claire because she's clearly a lover wants to find that person, settle down with. She's a little bit older. She looks great. But I think she was also trying to keep up with, yeah, a, a younger.

man who is new to Hollywood. And when you're new to Hollywood and you get a taste of that fame and you're that young and that good looking, like, it's going to be really hard for you to just settle down immediately. Yeah, definitely. That's very true. And then, you know, the last thing we want to touch on quickly is there was a big, big court hearing this week for Britney Spears in the battle with her conservatorship.

But it has been ruled that Jamie Spears, her father has been. been suspended from the conservatorship. He's gone. He's done. And this is exactly what we wanted. We needed Jamie, the Jamies, in general, out of here. The Jamie's, you're out. Chahas! Sianora!

Never heard of you again. How happy are we? Like chills happy. I mean, she is like, a step closer to the freedom. You know, even though this, and this is the biggest victory right now, but it's,

there's a bigger one coming, and that's this entire conservatorship ending. You know, right now she's got the temp conservator that was suggested by her attorney, John Zabel. Yeah. We love this attorney, by the way. Yeah.

Big fans of, Big fan of Anthony. He's getting shit done. Yeah. He's gotten shit done, you know? He's putting three requests to remove Jamie. And quickly, too. very quickly. It was like, what, July?

It was highly suspicious that all these years and then boom, this guy comes along in July, and then, damn, it's over. That's what happens when she's finally allowed to have her own lawyer. Right, exactly. Exactly. I'm just so happy that, like, the judge was like, yo, I do want what's in Brittany's best interest, and that is to remove this man who has been dictating what she does with her life for the last 13 years. So, you know, even like Brittany being engaged, like I feel like she's going to get that IUD out now, finally.

And who knows? She could probably get that baby that she wants, you know? Like she just wants to live her life. Yeah, what a victory. This is such great news. I mean, honestly, I'm like amazed by the people who we've been spearheaded the Free Brittany movement all those years ago, like created so much attention. And the public's eye was so closely watching. Yeah, it's it's pretty wild to see like, you know, like how social media can impact things.

Right. Yeah. I mean, thank God for these people because like we said, the attorney obviously helped in July. But people weren't really knowing what to do. They were like, oh, Britney Spears is on Instagram. She looks like something's going on. I didn't even know she was under a conservator. Right.

So all this, I was like, what the hell is that? I don't even know. I didn't even realize that she had been under this. thing since 2008. Because unless you were like an extreme Britney fan, you just thought that Britney Spears like kind of dropped off the face of the earth and then sometimes you'd hear about her and her residency in Vegas and then shit happening with that. But you didn't know legally what was happening. And then once that came to light, it was like boom, boom, boom. And this is just great. I feel like it is a step in the right direction. Right. Yeah. I mean, I knew like a couple of years ago

because, you know, we have to follow everything. So I knew about the conservatorship, but I didn't know how intense it was until she had that court hearing and you heard it from her own voice saying this is my life the last 13 years it's like that was crazy chilling just horrific to see someone like that living under those circumstances it's like wow you've given the world so much and you are literally living like a prisoner so now that she's got a new temp conservator hopefully they loosen the reins and she proves to be fully capable of just doing everything on her own. I think, yeah, it's time. This conservatorship is definitely coming to an end.
