The Whole World Is Watching

It’s been a while… Babs and Tess are here to celebrate the news that Lou Taylor and Tri Star are out and Jamie is up for dismissal as conservator! They also discuss the upcoming podcast they’ll be doing, as well as interview attorney Katerina Perrault, who formerly worked with Andrew Wallet and has some interesting tea to spill. In addition they discuss Britney’s situation with a forensic mental health expert who provides some insight into coercive control and the steps that could be done to help Britney moving forward.

Free Roger

Tess and Babs share their expectations for what they hope will be a positive and momentous day in court for Britney on 1/22/20. They also sit down for an honest and heartbreaking conversation with Holly and Roger George who share the nightmarish experience they are living through as Jodi Montgomery attempts to sell their house.  Donate to Roger and Holly’s GoFundMe at www.gofundme.com/free-Roger

Con Purse

Babs and Tess are back! They discuss why they'vebeen so quiet (hard at work on a project they can't yet announce), then dive into a restraining order against the very woman who has current reign on Britney's personhood. Wow this is a very different podcast than when it started out. 

Transcribed - Published: 26 November 2019

Keen on Freedom

Babs and Tess report back from the Sept 18th hearing, including the interesting vibe from security and Jamie's lawyers, as well as Cheez-It missing his cue. We go over the Aug 22nd document that gives a clue as to why the process is being delayed. We luckily recorded this the night the astrology post dropped where B talked clearly about how much she loves freedom and independence. Next big hearing is January 22.

Breakin' All the Rules I Didn't Make - With Bible Girl

The week of the hearing is upon us, and we are joined by Bible Girl, as we recap a recent court session, get pumped for the upcoming one, and delve into Britney's many posts from her recent solo trip to Hawaii,

Going Dark

Just when we were starting to be unsure about the upcoming investigation, the news breaks that Jamie Spears has gotten physical with one of Britney's kids, and a restraining order has now been placed against him by K-Fed. We discuss how this could shake up the conservatorship and dissect what B might be going through right now via her new brown hair. 

Transcribed - Published: 5 September 2019

Monster

The September hearing is approaching and the feed is as mysterious as always. Babs reports back on a morning spent in the probate law court, a Twitter-only post leads us to spend more time thinking about Nascar and Monster energy drink than we care to, and we attempt to unravel the mystery of the 6K Louboutins.

A While??? - (Mini) Episode

Did Britney address the conservatorship via meme and emoji last night?! We have rushed to the Britney's Gram headquarters to discuss and release this minisode right away.

Transcribed - Published: 9 August 2019

The Belly Rules The Mind

The gals are back from a hiatus and we're feeling positive about B's positivity on her latest posts. We discuss the upcoming court hearing, the legal action being taken against members of the FreeBritney movement, K-Fed's DJ problems, and go over Britney's recent posts including her connection to hot yoga and Marilyn.     

Transcribed - Published: 5 August 2019

Another Snake

It's been a while, and there are a lot of posts to catch up on. Babs and Tess go over a leaked letter that Britney hand-wrote about the conservatorship back in the day, and review the multiple posts from the last few weeks, including a new fashion show, another snake, and a very telling quote. So much to discuss.  Our lines of communication are open, if you want to leave us a voicemail call 818-925-0008 or email us at [email protected].

The Conservatee's Business Activities Have Greatly Accelerated

Babs and Tess recap what they observed at the Stanley Mosk courthouse on May 10th, and get into why the investigation handed down by Judge Penny is so significant.  They also revisit Andrew Wallet's 11/14/18 petition for a raise, which has some interesting information about how productive the then-conservator believed Britney was at the time.

#BritIsStronger

This is just a quick check-in before the rally / court hearing on May 10th. We just want to say thank you to everyone supporting and spreading the cause and telling people what's really going on beyond click bait headlines.  If you are attending the rally, here are a few guidelines: Be peaceful and respectful This is a silent rally - If we see Britney we do not want to make her uncomfortable in any way. We simply want to show her our support.  Please make your signs empowering and supportive.  Wear all black if you can. We are still gathering information and want to be responsible and careful about putting it out to the public. Feel free to call us at 818-925-0008 or email at [email protected].

Overprotected

It's been quite the week since #FREEBRITNEY dropped. Babs and Tess take some time to reflect on the decision to release last week's bombshell podcast, and dig into the timeline and outcome so far, culminating in some actual posts on Britney's instagram, AND some news regarding upcoming court dates. We are forever proud of the B Army and what they have done to support this movement. Stay awake. There is always a way out.  You can continue to leave us voicemails or texts at 818-925-0008, send us an email at [email protected], or follow us on twitter and insta at britneysgram where we will keep everyone updated on news about #FREEBRITNEY.

Binders Full of Britney with Brandie Posey

We're still trying to process the news we got last week, and our Lady to Lady co-host Brandie Posey joins us to talk deleted prayer memes and why Britney's family reminds us a little of Whitney's. 

Transcribed - Published: 11 April 2019

"Me Time" :)

WE. HAVE. CONTACT. ...Or do we? An almost-too-on-the-nose meme breaks the silence as we discuss whether this EMOJI-LESS meme is posted after months of nothing. But the Britney army is not so fast to fall, and before we can even begin to chat about it, not 30 minutes later the news is dropped that Godney has been admitted to a mental health institution - for a week now. The proof is in the meme pudding - someone is trying to control the narrative and Tess and Babs are having NONE. OF. IT. 

Transcribed - Published: 4 April 2019

Would You Rather

With Britney still in the wind, we talk about her long-time manager Larry Rudolph. Various clips show how Britney really feels when Larry isn't by her side to correct her. We don't trust the recent PR that all is well with Brit and we expound on the listener theory that Britney didn't even write her Domination cancellation post herself. Are we getting closer to the truth? Or are we just "crazy"? 

Transcribed - Published: 21 March 2019

The Lioness

The Lioness is still hibernating, so we check out some of Sam's feed and dissect Jamie Lynn's tomboy makeup tutorial, plus discuss what we think Brit did to celebrate Hollywood's biggest night.  Our biggest takeaway is BRITNEY WHERE ARE YOU?

Transcribed - Published: 28 February 2019

Fugue State

A series of mysterious Instagram stories posts from Sam on Valentine's Day finally give us proof of life! But why did Sam delete his first V-day post of Brit? Was she the one who made him take it down?  Plus, we look back at Brit's wedding to K-Fed and surmise that she has already had the wedding of her dreams. 

Transcribed - Published: 21 February 2019

Mona Lisa

We had some big news this week, in the form of a tweet from Blackout producer Danja, who appears to have been in the studio with Brit working on her latest album!  This has us all kinds of excited thinking about whether we're about to get a Blackout 2. We also fall down a rabbit hole looking at the series of attempts at creative control on Brit's part that led to an unreleased album, a cancelled tour, and ultimately the first Blackout.

Not That Innosense

We're on day 26 of the Governy shutdown and we are desperate, baby. But of course, Tess finds some old gems from Britney mentioning the conservatorship in a previous interview, and we do aa #TBT with Brit and her best friend, aka, the photo booth app on a Mac.  Leave us a review on iTunes!

Transcribed - Published: 7 February 2019

What's Up Instapeeps

On week three of the shutdown, Babs and Tess recap their recent screening of "Britney: For The Record" and delve into a bizarre interaction between Britney and Jamie.  Plus, we take a stroll back to the beginning of Brit's reign in the 'Gram, and speculate as to how Britney arrived at her inaugural meme. 

Transcribed - Published: 31 January 2019

All Roads Lead Back to Fragrantica

We are on the cabbage soup insta news diet and we are making it into a meal baby! But don't worry, we've got some vague news about a "new" (???) fragrance to tide us over, and an incredible throwback photo that can barely contain the Pier One of it all, and features Britney's biggest celeb crush.  We also visit Jamie Lynn's feed to find an old dad family tradition of visiting graves in your Monster hat. Hey, we don't make this shit up, we just somehow find a walk to dissect it for 40 plus minutes at a time. 

Transcribed - Published: 25 January 2019

It Did NOT End Because of Pregnancy!

Britney is still for all intensive purposes hiding from us, and we are left to assume she's snuggled up with tea, candles, and her favorite Uggs.  Meanwhile, we had over to Jamie Lynn's feed and wonder what made her wake up so angry and bloated that she had to go to boxing class? Plus, Jamie seems to have an axe to grind over rumors around who Zoey 101 ended when she got knocked up, and why is Sam in an LA Rams ad featuring...um...a hospital?! 

Transcribed - Published: 17 January 2019

Domination Cancellation

Britney cancelled her residency less than a month out and WE. ARE. SHOOK. Tess has mega conspiracies about Britney's post about dad Jamie being sick. You do not want to miss this episode which constitutes some of Tess's best detective work yet. Are we about to see a free Britney?? IS THE WORLD READY?

Transcribed - Published: 10 January 2019

Sip A Starbucks With God

We sure hope B had a Merry Britmas, but it's anyone's guess, given how little she posted over the holiday.  A portrait of a woman made entirely of plants has us questioning what good art is, and when it's appropriate to use the word 'exquisite.'    Brit's most recent Bible post has us hoping she's okay...and also points out how little Babs and Tess know about the good book.    A Christmas eve post with Jaden or Sean Preston seems a bit sad, and Sam's motivational New Years post is bizarre...only because he seems to have filmed it while parked in the car with someone else. 

Transcribed - Published: 3 January 2019

Butterfly Beware

Some hot holiday posts and behind the scenes from our gal, plus a step over to Sam's gram to see an ad for ... abs? We don't know, but that's why we're here!!  Follow us on twitter and instagram @britneysgram to follow along!

I Was Freaking Hungry!

We're dreaming of a White Christmas and apparently Brit is dreaming of steakhouse. We get a little bit of everything, a selfie singing video with a surprise message to her children and a neck reindeer, one of the most epic Brit Skits to hit the internet, and some Home Goods level Christmas decorations to let us know our girl is feeling the holiday spirit.  RUN to listen to this ep, like you would if your young hot boyfriend told you you were headed to Outback.

Break Them Like An Artist

Stevie Anderson from "What's Your Sign" stops in to delve deep into Brit's star chart and what the cosmos have to do with who Britney truly is deep down inside.  We make a surprising revelation about Brit's birthday vacation photo, and try to get to the bottom of the Pablo Picasso meme she posted. What rules is Brit willing to break? 

Transcribed - Published: 6 December 2018

I Don't Get It

This Thanksgiving holiday, Britney barely posted on the Gram. Is something going on? Is this at all related to the reason Jamie Lynn had to miss the CMA Awards this year? Some paparazzi photos outside of CVS reveal just how wild Brit's weave can be, and our one direct message from Britney this week is a meditation on what "Normal" is. 

Transcribed - Published: 29 November 2018

Do Epic Shit

Tess and Babs do some throwbacks to posts we're thankful for. A classic selfie duckface video, Britney exclaiming her love of New York via a Starbucks commemorative mug, an inspiring meme, and a strange road trip video with a hidden gem. We are thankful for Britney and we are thankful for whoever else has gone down this rabbit hole with us.

A Cult of One

The hilarious Chris Farah joins Barbara and Tess for a recap of Tess's adventure at Britney's conservatorship hearing. Tess goes into details re: what kind of tie Brit's conservator was wearing and more. The ladies get into the rest of the family's complicit silence and wonder when B is going to give us the Kentwood Christmas album we deserve.  Then it's off to Topanga Canyon, where Brit is at lunch with the boys, making skits and enjoying the Inn of the Seventh Ray's magical Snow White atmosphere.  And finally...Britney visits a beautiful tree, which is...apparently a yearly tradition?     

Transcribed - Published: 15 November 2018

You Think You Know Me?

Britney posted and deleted a cryptic - and possibly drunk? - video with Sam then deleted it and it has our heads spinning. Brit goes on a hike, auditions some new dancers, and uses a meme to remind us that she's not just a pretty face. Because that scares her. 

Transcribed - Published: 8 November 2018

I Am the Storm

Babs and Tess delve into the deep well that is Brit's past posts with a special devil-themed TBT episode.  We wonder whether Britney was threatening someone when she mentioned that the devil didn't know where women sharpened the knives...or was she just at a baby shower?? What does Britney mean when she tells the devil she is the storm?  Plus, Babs and Tess delve into what it's like to live in the prison of fame, and whether Brit's 2007 meltdown was that out of the ordinary.  Brit has long loved a Minion meme and wishes that she was wild enough for the devil to get a restraining order.  And Brit is fine eating alone. Isn't. That. The truth.

The Vegas Announcement

Britney's non-announcement was a total trainwreck and we are here to give you the play-by-play of the live spookening. 30 minutes of anticlimactic joy as our queen does only what Godney can and creates a panic by doing absolutely nothing. Tess has some new shrouded info on the conservatorship and Brit drops a gram using Justin Timberlake music in a cryptic shout out. Also a non-announced concert?? What's going on in Britney world?

Transcribed - Published: 25 October 2018

Minion Shit

We may have missed this Minion meme right after recording last week, but we get INTO it here. Then....so much happened during Britney's appearance on the Ellen Show, and we are so glad that Jamie Lynn was there to capture it all..and Brit reaches out to her sister Selena Gomez in the most tender way possible -- via heavily made up workout video. 

Transcribed - Published: 18 October 2018

A Very Smart Mama Bear

Babs is back! We discuss Britney's edit of a My Prerogative ad, her teacup fetish, and a lovely visit from mamma and papa bear, or her uncle. 

Transcribed - Published: 11 October 2018

Oops

Guest host Whitney Teubner joins Tess to get to the bottom of a very mysterious and political week on the Gram. A recreational salsa dancing session has Britney showing her face for the first time in a while, and Whit and Tess wonder why Britney feels the need to emphasize that her dancer is a gentleman.  An innocent, albeit bizarre post from Britney about the joys of pineapple juice and...um...eyes over babies in Paris turns out to be an accidental f-you to the Parisian mayor.   And we all wonder what exactly B meant when she posted a meme about scaring people.  Also...Britney. Went. Tanning. And did B get a nose job?? Or are we simply looking at an influx in contouring? 

Transcribed - Published: 4 October 2018

Celebrities : They're Better Than Us (With guest host Joe Kaye)

Barbara is off in the land of tea cups and cozies, so guest host Joe Kaye steps in this week for some analysis of Brit's footprints in the Sand post -- (spoiler, B is a better Christian than Tess and Joe.) We also pop over to Jamie Lynn's feed to wonder why old girl is slinging Mac N Cheese. Then, it's time to talk about Ashgari and why we give him more leeway than even Ben Affleck. Plus, Sam is on fire in a very Britney-esque post about running...and potato chips.   

Transcribed - Published: 27 September 2018

Nice Memes: A Place For Aunts

Kitten imagery spans from Brit to Sam's timelines and Babs and Tess get even deeper into their plan to lure Brit into posting a meme inspired by her very own account. (Follow nice__memes on instagram). They journey over to Jamie Lynn's page to talk about some cryptic Beyonce lyrics and what appears to be some very inventive recycling of Britney's tour props. 

Transcribed - Published: 20 September 2018

Brit Bait

Brit has been keeping a low profile, and posting mostly memes, stock, photos, and choice selects from the infamous unsupervised photo shoot. We wonder how she's coping with the end of her tour, and give Babs much deserved credit for creating our flawless first Brit Bait. A repost of one of Sam's old #iphone pictures, followed by what appear to be accidental shots of touristy New York appear to offer a glimpse into B's creative process.

Transcribed - Published: 13 September 2018

There's Always A Way Out

Brit's at the end of her world tour and it's showing on the gram. Some cryptic posts and very bad fake abs round out this week's somewhat melancholy posts. Looks like our girl didn't get her ice cream this week. Also: STOP MAKING BRITNEY DO MEET AND GREETS.

Transcribed - Published: 6 September 2018

Sometimes You Just Need Ice Cream To Get Going!

WOW. WHAT. A. WEEK. Only three posts from Brit but a video that could spawn an entire podcast in and of itself. Brit is bored and thinking up skits so who better to involve than her dancers!  Special guest Dana Wickens of Earwolf joins Babs and Tess to take a deep dive into this special Brit skit.

Don't You Just Love Barbie

A rose is but a rose, and a gram is but a gram, and a deep dive into Britney's Barbie past is due.

Before My Show!!

From two-hour solo yoga videos, to a Vanessa Hudgens quote, to an incredibly awkward backstage dance with Sam, we're loving a classic week on the gram!!

Real Talk...🍔🍔🍔

Britney's posting a lot of tour footage and one of our favorite memes yet! We get some juicy info on how much dough she makes a year - and we come up with a PLAN to trap Britney with a meme. We're crazy.

Prayer Memes

Brit's on tour and she is feeling herself, whether it be in body glitter on Fallon or a strappy stage costume, and we are here for it. Throw in some random tbts from a Disney Safari and some seemingly out of nowhere prayer memes and you got yourself another week of us talking about Britney Spears' instagram page.
