Why is she driving if she's been drinking? If you're Britney Spears, you're worth like who knows how much. >> How the hell does that happen? >> Yeah, why doesn't she have a Uber driver? >> Right. >> Cuz she doesn't have a conservatorship anymore. >> You think? >> So no one's protecting her? >> Be cuckoo and just going out and about? >> So she's free to make regular people choices in regular America? >> To make regular >> But does she have the mental capacity to make regular >> So think did Free Britney go too far? >> But you knew she was toxic. >> I think >> Wow, dude. >> Get out of here. >> You are in the You're in the Anthony Lee couch. >> I I I I It's for him.

0:57 I I had I I got to do it. It's for him. I know he'd appreciate it. >> I think they went I do think they went too far to answer your question. I think they just really got into some business they didn't understand and they all they cared about was her being quote free. >> You don't think that her juggling knives on camera is is chill and normal? >> You don't think that Michael Jackson trying to like make sure that she was getting out of the conservatorship early wasn't leading to something that we all knew was going to be problematic? >> She needed care. >> The people that was in charge of her were abusing her. >> We say the people like it wasn't just her dad. >> THE DAD THAT WAS ████ TAKING ALL OF HER MONEY. >> BUT THEN I GUESS I guess it's like what do you want for the for someone like that though? Like do you want Would you prefer that they just be free to make whatever mistake or >> Okay, when when you zoom out and you think about just like the thing that she's going through, it's like you you just from teenager from

1:49 like a kid all the way till now have been a completely different human in society. You have not participated in regular ████ And then now you're free to participate in regular ████ One, the limelight is not as crazy. Let's be Let's admit it. Compared to what she was when she was like 18 versus now, yeah, we might be paying attention to the crazy dance videos, but like it's not the same, right? >> Cuz we're not as horny for her. >> She's finally ████ normal. Yeah, DUI is ████ normal. I'm not saying everybody gets it. I'm saying it's a very normal thing to experience in your ecosystem. Like who here has gotten a DUI? Anybody? >> We're not that irresponsible. >> You had a You never got a DUI. >> I have a close friend that got a DUI. >> I do. >> Same. Like it's all within >> Anthony's the one I know got a DUI. >> I never got a DUI. I never got a DUI. Stop ████ around. Granted this group is so ████

2:39 ████ gay that you guys don't know ████ >> You don't know ████ >> All I'm saying is that her getting a DUI is nothing spectacular. It's just that the fact that we're paying attention that it's spectacular, but it's nor- It's not like it's like, "Dude, she like left her conservatorship and now she's like murdering cats or something." Like it's not the same. She's just She got in trouble for a It was like a when who ████ Was it JT or something like that that got a DUI? And it's like at the end of >> Celebrities get DUIs a lot. >> You're just >> They think they're above the law. >> getting ████ a DUI. >> You would think they'd have a driver. It's not that bad to get a driver. >> Now she can't go to Canada with a DUI. >> It's really fun to drive and be in control of something when you're not in control of anything. >> Sounds like a person who enjoys DUIs. Do you enjoy them, though? Do you love them? >> I'm just saying it's not a spectacularly

3:30 like, "What?" It's actually a normal thing that you we all grew up with. >> It's a felony. >> I think it's less of a what I have to say I think it's less of a what because of her now public persona, which is mostly her like juggling knives. >> Because of her now public persona. That's what I'm saying, though. >> I'm saying I have your back. >> She went like 40 years and like didn't get a DUI. Suddenly she does a normal human thing we're like, "Oh my god." >> If this So, if this happened in 2001, it would be absolutely brain-melting ████ kind of like when she cut her hair off. But now, it's kind of like we saw her juggle knives for like the last 15 years, and so it's kind of like, "Okay, yeah." >> When did she go like cuckoo? >> She went cuckoo bananas like 2003. But then the free Free Britney people are like >> Publicly cuckoo. >> They're saying that she's been cuckoo before that. >> But the Free Britney people are like, "That's all ████ She cut her hair off one night, and that's not fair to

4:21 say she lost her mind or whatever." And then now, it's kind of like Free Britney people kind of look like ████ a little bit cuz she's got a DUI. But I don't think that. >> She's the type of person that's like, "I drive better when I'm drunk." You know, like >> Think about like this. You guys know You guys know how like a talking point about this ████ is like Amanda Bynes, right? We all remember what Amanda Bynes >> ████ >> Yeah, right? Like that's That's It's a huge change compared to what like we all grew up knowing her to be. >> So now, we look at her and we're like "Oh my god, what happened?" And if we >> Apparently, she got molested as well. >> Who? >> Oh, yeah. >> Britney? >> Cat, the old cat. >> Yeah. >> Which one? Oh, Amanda Bynes? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> The amount of regular people who looked a certain way when they were younger and then grew up to just not be as fresh as they were back then is ████ normal.

5:12 So like >> Not Amanda Bynes level. >> That That's different. >> That one's crazy. >> But they're all It looks like crashed out. It doesn't seem like Jessica Simpson or like >> Frankie Muniz looks like Frankie Muniz. >> The ████ The love interest The love interest in Top Gun who wasn't hired to be in Top Gun Maverick. Yeah, she just looks like an old lady. >> Yeah, but she's old, though. >> No, but no crazy problems. It's not She looks like a lady who had kids. She just got old and wasn't as hot. >> Regular old, yeah. >> Yeah, that's all I'm saying. That's like so many people. >> Yeah, that Amanda Bynes looks intentionally crashed out. Yeah, that looks like she's like That looks like mental problems. >> Losing ████ is completely different. Like, having a downward spiral. >> That's why like like the Britney thing when she cut her hair off, like people don't remember that correctly where it's like, yeah, women can cut their hair off if they just feel like being bald. This was a

6:02 >> Yeah, that's true. >> cutting your hair off. >> Demi Moore shaving her head, she looks great in it. >> That's like that's losing your mind. Like there's a difference. >> That's true. >> I think like she's been having problems, yeah. >> Does she have any close family? Like, does she have a sister or something, Britney Spears? >> I think she has a close father. >> Jamie Lynn >> Father's very close. >> So, my I used to come home from school, for example, and my mother, who I love, she would just cut her hair off. She would cut her own hair. And I'd be like and I was young, so I didn't know, and I always call the things Yeah, no, no. But I I call out the thing, like when Anthony farts at the ████ arcade, I'm like, what the ████ smells of ████ Like, my ma I would come home from school as I was in elementary school, and my ma I was like, "Oh, what the ████ happened to your hair?" Basically, uh fourth grade terms, whatever. And my mom was like, "It's hot. I cut my

6:52 own hair, Steven. It's It's just so hot." And I didn't know that's kind of a cry for help. That's kind of like she's going through some ████ >> Yeah. >> Yeah, but like as now an older man, I can I think I knew younger, too. I was like, this is something's going on kind of. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I don't know how to put my finger on it. >> Cuz people like, I can't take this ████ AND THEN THEY JUST AND THEN THEY SHAVE IT OFF. >> YEAH, I THINK THAT PEOPLE JUST kind of have a bad day, and they kind of just ████ it. And my ma did that one time, and I That was enough for me to go like, yeah, I think ████ are just ████ crazy sometimes. You just have to be ready for it. >> The dangerous part of about, I guess, Britney thing is that, I mean, like this is my opinion, but I I don't think any celebrity's fate should be influenced that hard by their fandom. You know, like the that whole free Britney movement was so strong. >> It still is. >> You know what I mean? Yeah, but then a lot of people have just stopped paying

7:44 attention and I think that's a thing, too, where it's like you did so much for this person's life to change pretty drastically and then they're just on to Sabrina Carpenter. You know what I mean? Like that's a little bit crazy to me, too. >> Maybe they need to start a somebody take care of Britney movement. >> Somebody drive Britney around. >> Very difficult to like truly empathize and like pity like the celebrity lifestyle though, right? Like it's complex to be like it's so hard to feel sorry for somebody who maybe had like the upper echelon of like life experiences for like a decade. >> But I actually don't think that that worked on Britney because people grew up with her in such a way like at least our generation did where they're so sensitive to her, it doesn't matter. You could tell people she made $3 billion and they don't care. Like they feel like it's like her their older sister like in a way. >> Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

8:34 >> It's a crazy connection that she built somehow and like I don't know. I There's it doesn't even make sense. But it but it it's it's there. >> Test me, brother. >> Test you, house. >> True parasocial, I think. >> Right. >> Yeah. Cuz I didn't know I really didn't think that they'd be able to lift the conservatorship like that. >> either. >> Cuz I was just like, oh, that's we just don't know what the ████ happening with some people, especially celebrities. You don't really know how Who are we to know what's best? >> about it like like I remember uh again, I feel like personally again, I'm not trying to judge anybody else, but like I feel like we had a very sheltered childhood all the way through high school, right? So when my sister finally goes to UCLA and she's living on campus, she's ████ wilding out, right? In ways that I just never experienced. I'm not saying it's relatively more than anybody else who goes to college. I'm just saying Yeah, she's ████ you know what I mean? Anyways.

9:24 And so I assume that when I look at somebody like Britney, who again, from childhood experiences certain version of thing and then suddenly they have both means and quote-unquote a freedom, I'll look at her going ape ████ with ████ knives and doing dance videos and a part of me sure, I could be honest. A part of me is like, that's weird. >> What? >> Oh, I mean, yes, click, click. Another part of me is like, duh. Duh, you exercise your ████ version of freedom in whatever way that like is accessible and tangible to yourself in that moment. If that's the the the farthest version of freedom that you can have for yourself, aka being in a bikini dancing all weird with knives and stuff in your backyard, which is really not harming anybody. >> human right. >> Is she recording her own video or someone else recording? >> She's posted it on Instagram. >> Cuz isn't that the weird part? It's not exercising your freedom, but exercising your freedom for content.

10:14 >> No. >> then it kind of taints what it is. Look at the >> I think not the way that she was doing I don't think she was exercising it for content. >> Really? >> It really felt like freedom, right? Didn't it feel like like I'm just trying to ████ be free? >> Oh, wow. >> So, when you experience something like that at that version of like what you assume is authentic, a part of me goes like oh ████ she's just wilding out cuz she's free. It didn't make me go like, this is wrong. >> But is part of you like, this is whack choreography cuz you're a dancer guy? >> It wasn't choreography, it was freestyle, obviously. >> But then when she has that running ass mascara on her face, I go, what the ████ happened to you like behind the scenes? >> Her her titties out or something, too. >> Yeah, I'm like, I just want to know what kind of ████ up ████ did she go through to where she got there? >> yeah. She probably went through a lot of ████ >> She was in the Mickey Mouse Club, dude. Like all those kids kind of got >> She definitely probably had a really

11:04 traumatic upbringing. >> Her very, very, very, very public ex-boyfriend like was killing it and continued to kill it and made it for a long time, too. Who knows what kind of >> And he told her to get an abortion. >> Yeah, who knows what kind of emotional damage that like creates for however long, too, right? >> that's the knives thing. It's like a allegory. >> That's like looking at like a Selena Gomez and like a Justin Bieber, which again, I have no ████ understanding how far that went, but you look at Selena, she makes a ████ a billion-dollar makeup company and it's just ████ great. Just killing it post Bieber. Whereas he's starting to like low-key be affiliated with like by like Diddy type ████ And then he's like doing drugs and like falling off and everybody and everybody on social media is like blah blah blah this and Selena ya ya and Haley your wife who you like are love with like that's a rebound or like she you cheated like all day you're getting the smoke. But what what

11:55 do you think about them having a kid together and then they got they got a they had to give it up to to the Bohemian Grove. >> Selena and Justin Bieber? >> Bieber Bieber and Selena? >> Had a baby together. >> And they took it to Bohemian Grove during the ritual and gave it up to like some people? >> To the Rothschilds, yeah. >> Well, yeah that I think that puts you in a different category if that's true. >> That's some gangster ████ >> But do you like that or you do you love it? >> How much did they get for it? Is it pure sacrifice like no dollar or is it like >> Answer the question, Anthony. >> They say that's why Bieber became super >> Are you guaranteed fame after it? >> As your lawyer answer the question. >> I can make another kid. I can't make success for myself. >> Bohemian Lee? >> Bohemian Lee! All right, fine. She's crazy, all right? Is that Are you guys happy? She's ████ crazy. She's a ████ lunatic. >> I'm sad about this, but >> I just want to be like somebody help her. >> Well, I just don't think they can now. >> that's the problem. Isn't that the

12:45 problem? Is that literally what we're talking about? We everybody was like somebody's got to help her. So everybody intervened so deep. >> Was the conservatorship maybe better for her than like whatever this is is the is the question. >> That's the thing. I don't think we'll ever really know. >> I think people giving a ████ more than they deserve to is the problem. >> Mhm. >> Right? You either you're you're either making something more than it should be, yeah, right? And then it blows it out of proportion and then they they feel the after effects of it. So they're like maybe it is really really bad when maybe it wasn't or the complete opposite. It's like maybe it was really just great for them, but then we're like hey, it's not good for you. So you go huh, maybe this isn't good right? Like >> Maybe it's just Maybelline. >> Maybe it's Maybelline. Yes. >> Maybe she's born with it though. >> Well, she don't do the shows here no more, right? She done? >> She hasn't done anything in forever.

13:36 >> When did she stop? Did she do it like a year ago? >> I think she did a Japan as the last time she performed. >> Yeah, maybe over a decade. >> She was doing a residency here in Vegas. >> Be over a decade. >> What ████ millennium are you in? >> It was like six years ago or more.
