Doug Buten
When you're Jeff Lewis, the drama never stops.
Jameson
I mean, I'm doing charity right now.
Doug Buten
I think that twice in one year you're doing charity.
Jameson
That's twice. What was the first one?
Doug Buten
You went to dinner with me.
Brittany Haynes
Do people wanna be in your circle? Buy your way into friendship with Jeff Lewis?
Jameson
I think people are trying to get out.
Doug Buten
When I first started coming here, I was like, jeff Lewis.
Brittany Haynes
Jeff Lewis has issues.
Jameson
Hey, welcome to Jeff. Jeff Lewis has issues. In today's episode, Brittany Haynes and Doug Buten join the show. We talk about school uniforms, hands on dads, and the traitors. It was so easy getting you on the show.
Brittany Haynes
So easy. I've only been asking and dying and begging and calling in favors for like seven years.
Jameson
Okay. I'm gonna be honest with you. I did not know who you were.
Brittany Haynes
Okay. That's fair.
Jameson
And then recently, Shane's partner, Brogan, I guess, is a huge Big Brother fan.
Brittany Haynes
Okay.
Jameson
And he said, no, no, no, you. You're gonna love her. And he used to work for Access Hollywood.
Brittany Haynes
Okay. Okay.
Jameson
He goes, I've met her. She's great. She's fun. She's a chump.
Brittany Haynes
Yes.
Jameson
So I've got to explain who you are for. I mean, I would imagine everybody knows who you are, but no one knows who I am. Big Brother season 12, Big Brother season 14, the Price is Right, Amazing Race, Big Brother, Reindeer Games, Traders. So you're like the queen of these competition reality shows.
Brittany Haynes
And then we were kind of thriving at the same time. 2010 is when I did Big Brother 12, so my very first. Well, that was like my first reality show ever. 2010. That's when everybody peaked. That's frankly when reality television peaked. 2010. And so then it's just been since then, appearances here and there and whatnot. But I have been a chump since, like you had 12 listeners. I'm listener.
Jameson
So last month. Yeah.
Brittany Haynes
Since Gage was a co host on this show and actually liked talking about Monroe publicly and making her a public figure.
Jameson
Posting photos.
Brittany Haynes
Yes, posting photos when she could appear on television and screens. That's when I was around and I watched, flipping out.
Jameson
Well, that was before she went into the witness protection program.
Brittany Haynes
It was? Yeah. Before she got her new alias and whatnot. Yes, before she. Yeah, before she had a confusing stepfather situation.
Doug Buten
Brittany was here early this morning.
Brittany Haynes
I mean, 20 minutes early.
Doug Buten
8:04, I think you arrived 8:09.
Jameson
What time did you get here, Doug?
Doug Buten
I was just about to unpack my satchel and Brittany walked in. So I got here, I think at 8:01.
Brittany Haynes
Cause what did I know not to be late. What did I know is prized here? Punctuality.
Jameson
It is.
Brittany Haynes
And I showed up.
Jameson
Thank you. But you do have a grace period, so I appreciate you being here at. Were you here at 8? 8, 4?
Brittany Haynes
It was like 8:04.
Jameson
Okay.
Brittany Haynes
And then I took a. Doug is always here. I took a long time on the sign in screen intentionally, you know, taking my time.
Jameson
I see.
Doug Buten
You know, I would like to point out just also, Jenny. In high school, Jenny strong lived on 15th Street. And my high school was on 16th Street. And she was always late. And she only lived one block away. I live very close to the studio. I'm so sorry to be late.
Jameson
Does anyone know Jenny Strong?
Brittany Haynes
No one knows.
Jameson
We're not invested in this.
Brittany Haynes
But I'm unfamiliar with the traffic here. And so I was worried about. Because I'm coming from downtown. And so I was like, I gotta. I gotta have like a major grace period in case.
Jameson
So you were with Doug alone for 20 minutes?
Brittany Haynes
I was. I saw so many sides of him.
Jameson
I'm so sorry.
Brittany Haynes
I saw his straight side. I saw.
Jameson
Well, not with those socks. He's got some bright pink socks on today.
Brittany Haynes
No, he did a good job. He was asking about sports.
Doug Buten
Yeah, I was talking to Kian like a straight guy.
Brittany Haynes
What's up? Like, he was like giving heterosexuality dress queen.
Jameson
Did he talk about his garden in Tomato Mania yet?
Brittany Haynes
Later, but that was on Cant led. That was on can.
Doug Buten
I know. I used all my energy up talking straight to you.
Jameson
Well, yesterday, Susan Powder was here, and I have to say I am overwhelmed by the generosity of the chumps. It's astounding. So she's a very prideful woman. She's fallen on hard times. She did not want any handouts. She did not want any gofundmes. But what she did is she said, jeff, you could promote my book. And $13 on Amazon. It is called And Then M Died. Stop the Insanity. A Memoir. And I called on all the chumps. I said, let's help her out. And what is so amazing is that just to give you an idea of the chump power, yesterday on Amazon, before she did the show, her book was ranked number 87,514 on Amazon in book sales. She was number 888 in exercise and fitness, number 2908 in memoirs. As of this morning at 7:15am she was number 93.
Brittany Haynes
Wow.
Jameson
On Amazon, from 87,514 to number 93. She's number one in exercise, number five in memoirs.
Brittany Haynes
Wow.
Doug Buten
Amazing.
Jameson
That's the power of the chunks.
Doug Buten
And this will be the first book for so many people. I love that.
Brittany Haynes
The first book ever.
Doug Buten
But you know what's actually.
Brittany Haynes
They're not gonna read it.
Doug Buten
No, but they bought it. I bought it. I think it's 183 pages.
Brittany Haynes
Your kind heart.
Doug Buten
You know what I love, though, Jeff, about this is not just the immediate, which is, you know, yes, she's gonna profit from all these book sales, but now she's able to use that as PR. She is now able to say I was number 85 or number one in memoirs on Amazon, which will help her get the next project sold.
Jameson
I got a very long text and I'm going to edit it from her. From her. She said she's incredibly happy and touched by the chumps that she said that she's had a very difficult last few weeks. Doing this show has given her her happiness back. She said that the money raised in the book sales will change her life and make things okay for months ahead. If she blows a tire, can't work for a day, whatever comes up, she has the money to take care of it. She's so incredibly grateful.
Brittany Haynes
You're saving lives. She said, this is not saving program.
Jameson
She said chumps have made a huge difference and impact on her life.
Brittany Haynes
Yeah, life saving program right here. I'm just helping people.
Doug Buten
And his heart grew four sizes larger that day. This is. I feel like we are living that out.
Brittany Haynes
Right? I am a chump. I identify fully as a chump. And likewise, I purchased truffle salt. You paid? I Paid. I have a screenshot.
Jameson
Any side effects?
Brittany Haynes
I brought the screenshot in case I need to prove it. I bought the bundle with the lemon seasoning. I have actually purchased truffle salt because as a kind heart, I support it.
Jameson
Don't give it to your kids.
Brittany Haynes
It was good.
Doug Buten
Thank you.
Jameson
You're used.
Brittany Haynes
You're welcome. I did use it.
Annie
All three flavors.
Brittany Haynes
It came as a two pack.
Doug Buten
She did. That was last year.
Jameson
Oh, you fell for the bundle.
Brittany Haynes
I fell for the bundle.
Doug Buten
She bought it.
Jameson
Sure did. Doing bundles.
Doug Buten
Yeah. Of course that's ever present. You can always select a bundle on saltery store. Yeah. But I'm. I thank you. I really appreciate that. We've never met before and I'm a fan. I've watched Traders. I know that you are on the precipice. We are going to find out this week if you go to be a trader or if you say goodbye.
Jameson
Are you here for the reunion?
Brittany Haynes
Yes, we film tomorrow.
Jameson
Oh, good luck.
Doug Buten
Oh, so Dolores, everybody then is on the show.
Annie
Dolores is here and she didn't hit us up.
Brittany Haynes
Well, you didn't. You just have her like a week ago.
Annie
Yeah, but she was on a couple times ago and she was like happy to see my LA family. She had posted that on Instagram. We gave her a shit because we're like, well, you didn't see us.
Brittany Haynes
Yeah, well, I told her yesterday that I was coming and she said please tell. Please give them my love or something to that effect. So there you go.
Jameson
Will Dorinda be there too?
Brittany Haynes
Yes, yes.
Jameson
Okay, cool.
Brittany Haynes
Everybody's coming.
Jameson
Tell her I said hi.
Brittany Haynes
I will.
Jameson
And is Andy hosting it?
Annie
Yeah.
Jameson
Okay, so he's in town too.
Doug Buten
Yeah. And then he's doing the Beverly Hills reunion the next day.
Jameson
I think he said, so how long are you in town?
Brittany Haynes
Till Saturday.
Jameson
Okay, so you've got three little girls.
Brittany Haynes
I do, yeah.
Jameson
10, 8, 6.
Brittany Haynes
Ish. 11, 10, 7. It's so hard to keep track of.
Jameson
Well, also if you google it, they're always wrong.
Brittany Haynes
Yeah, they're always wrong.
Jameson
They're always off.
Doug Buten
She shouldn't have to google the ages of her own children.
Brittany Haynes
I do, yeah.
Jameson
Sometimes I have forgotten her birthday a few times.
Brittany Haynes
Monroe and my youngest are close in age. That helped. They're very similar. And then I have two that are older.
Jameson
I was having trouble remembering her birthday for some reason. It was always getting saying the 20, it's the 25th. But I was saying it was the 26th of October.
Brittany Haynes
Yeah.
Jameson
But then a chump was like, well, just think of it. Christmas Christmas is 25th and since then I haven't forgotten.
Brittany Haynes
You haven't forgotten now?
Jameson
I forget the year.
Brittany Haynes
Yeah, the year is kind of hard. And I have three, so I mean, like, keeping those apart, I say the wrong month with day all the time because I'll like swap them.
Jameson
But Brittany, when you're doing all of these competition shows, you're away from those kids for a long time, aren't you?
Brittany Haynes
So I've only had to do that twice since I've had kids because when I did Big Brother, the first and second time, I didn't have kids yet. When I did Amazing Race, Ru was really little, she was only a year old and that was really hard.
Jameson
Yeah.
Brittany Haynes
But for traders, you know, they're at an age now where it's a little easier. They know what I'm doing, they're excited to watch the show. Like, they get into it and that makes it a little bit easier. And you were gone for weeks though.
Jameson
And you could only. Dolores was saying you could only use the phone. Was it once a week or did they make exceptions for you because you have kids?
Brittany Haynes
They would, I mean, they would pretty much make an. I mean, I'm sure MJ talked to you about this because her son was young when she did it.
Jameson
Yeah. But she was probably happy to be gone.
Doug Buten
She was gone. She said it several weeks.
Annie
It was hard because, like, you know, it is hard. Didn't have always the reaction she wanted.
Brittany Haynes
And it was like, yeah, I think when they're younger it's much more difficult. Like for me, doing Amazing Race was much more difficult than doing Traitors as far as, like being away from the family. But, you know, they know why I'm leaving. They know what it's for. So they're kind of excited about it. They like to watch the shows and get into it and do stuff.
Jameson
Your husband, is he a hands on dad?
Brittany Haynes
Very.
Jameson
That's good.
Brittany Haynes
Yes. He always totally steps in.
Jameson
Okay, so then you don't worry about these kids because he's got it, he's got it. And you have a nanny.
Brittany Haynes
He's fine. No, my mom helps out. My mom and help out.
Jameson
So your mom's your nanny?
Brittany Haynes
Well, she lives two and a half hours away, but she comes in and like helps out if I'm going to be out of town or something like that.
Doug Buten
For an extended.
Jameson
Then who's feeding and bathing and taking these kids to school?
Brittany Haynes
My husband.
Jameson
But what about when you're home?
Brittany Haynes
I do.
Jameson
And do you divide the rules or. No. You pretty much take when you're home, you're handling it.
Brittany Haynes
No, we divide it pretty well. I mean, he does a lot. He does a lot.
Jameson
That's great.
Brittany Haynes
He has a very sad life.
Doug Buten
Is he at home a lot, your husband?
Brittany Haynes
He was. Because since COVID he was partially working from home. He's pretty much back in the office now, so. But that's recent that they've started doing, like, the return to work from COVID So we're kind of re evaluating the roles a little bit because he has been around so much and able to help so much.
Doug Buten
Right. And now all of a sudden you're like.
Brittany Haynes
Now all of a sudden he's actually gone. Yeah. But no. So whenever I'm gone for a show, Traders, whatever. He's got it handled. He's got it down. It's fine. Now my kids won't look good. Okay. They will. They will look so bad.
Doug Buten
Clothing or something.
Jameson
Oh, with your husband?
Brittany Haynes
Yes, the clothing. I have to put all the outfits.
Doug Buten
Don't they do, like, geranimals still? Like, this goes with this and that goes with that.
Brittany Haynes
He doesn't know. He. He doesn't even know whose clothes belong to who. Like, he. He knows absolutely nothing about that. He can't do the hair. The hair is. I mean, it's very, very dire. Straight. But other than appearance, he does. He does fine.
Jameson
So you have to lay out clothes. You're not doing this for weeks, are you?
Brittany Haynes
No, I didn't do it for that. But, like, I'm gone right now.
Jameson
Yeah.
Brittany Haynes
I laid out all of their outfits for the week for school. Because I can't have him dressing them.
Jameson
For school because he won't match the shoes.
Brittany Haynes
Oh, my. It's not even that. It won't even be seasonally appropriate. Like, it'll be what?
Doug Buten
Bikinis don't work in February.
Brittany Haynes
It won't even be remotely appropriate. Forget matching. That's like the least of the worries. It'll be 14 sizes too small. It'll be holes in things. It's like he doesn't see. Yeah, it's like he. Visually, it just doesn't register as a problem.
Jameson
See, Monroe has uniforms. Makes it so easy. You can't fuck it up.
Jeff Lewis
Right?
Brittany Haynes
I know. Yeah, that's easy. No, we don't have uniforms.
Doug Buten
Is it a skirt or do they give girls pants?
Jameson
No pants.
Doug Buten
No pants.
Jameson
But we have skirts.
Doug Buten
We have even the boys.
Annie
Very progressive.
Brittany Haynes
It's a very progressive school.
Jameson
Yeah.
Doug Buten
Yeah. So she wears skirts.
Jameson
There's a dress.
Annie
Little jumper or the skirt.
Jameson
Yeah, there's a dress and a Skirt I love.
Doug Buten
It's like a below deck where they go change into your whites or change into your blacks, whatever. The Monroe's got her options.
Oscar
Wait, that girls make wear pants?
Jameson
No, there's. There's no pants or we didn't buy it. There's no pants.
Oscar
Aren't there boys in the school or is it an all girls school?
Annie
No, the boys wouldn't wear pants. She probably could.
Oscar
The boys wear pants but the girls don't.
Jameson
Yeah, yeah.
Brittany Haynes
This is normal.
Doug Buten
This is very like anti maid.
Jameson
It's traditional roles.
Doug Buten
Okay. Okay.
Brittany Haynes
That's how I know of private schools to work. I think that's how they all work.
Jameson
Yeah, like, I think they just, you know, it's, it's different. The school, they dress girls like girls and boys like boys.
Doug Buten
What else does she need from the replay?
Oscar
What is she going to school for?
Brittany Haynes
Anyway, speaking of that, I thought, okay, so whenever I started listening to the show and I was always like, oh, I want to be on Jeff Lewis so bad. And I thought there is no way that program will be on long enough for me to actually make it on the show. Like there's no way because you are like the cat with 900 lives.
Jameson
I know.
Brittany Haynes
With the cancellations you should have been canceled 899 times already.
Jameson
I agree.
Brittany Haynes
And look, we're still here.
Jameson
It's a miracle.
Doug Buten
We get DMs from.
Brittany Haynes
It's a miracle.
Jameson
5 HR infections.
Brittany Haynes
Oh, five.
Doug Buten
I have to have fallen.
Brittany Haynes
I'm surprised that it's only five. I'm shocked that it's only five.
Jameson
A lot of times they can't prove it was me.
Brittany Haynes
Right. And you get away. You get a lot of passes.
Doug Buten
I've got the video.
Brittany Haynes
People know it about you. So they like most of the time we'll probably just gloss over it. But I thought there is no way that program is still going to be around. And if I would have waited till after Chump Con, I would have probably never made it.
Doug Buten
Oh.
Brittany Haynes
Because that's going to be the final nail in the coffin. I think.
Jameson
I think they know they can't do anything. Well, they're scared because chumps will literally burn the buildings down.
Brittany Haynes
Yeah. I can't believe you got insured.
Jameson
I know, I know.
Brittany Haynes
And by the way, did you read the fine print?
Jameson
No Prostitution.
Doug Buten
By the way, Doug, Jeff for some reason is talking to me.
Jameson
Seriously?
Brittany Haynes
I remember the first.
Jameson
Oh my God.
Brittany Haynes
Not the lube to the room. What hotel was it? Which hotel was it?
Jameson
Venetian.
Brittany Haynes
The Venetian.
Jameson
You can't go back.
Brittany Haynes
You can't go. Did you try to book them?
Jameson
Well, resort world is being very generous with us.
Brittany Haynes
They didn't talk to the Venetian.
Jameson
But you cannot know.
Brittany Haynes
They don't know.
Jameson
Seriously, I cannot lose my insurance. You cannot not entertain Jeff.
Brittany Haynes
It was just a massage. It was just a one off massage.
Jameson
Very expensive massage.
Doug Buten
And I'm not the one who ordered a gallon of lube to the room. That was you.
Brittany Haynes
There's nothing odd about being in a hotel room and having a masseur come to your room where there is not a massage table.
Doug Buten
Thank you. Brittany.
Brittany Haynes
Present.
Doug Buten
Thank you.
Brittany Haynes
And just massaging you on the bed.
Doug Buten
And that's completely all that travel hurts your back.
Brittany Haynes
So, you know. And walking. Yeah, that long 45 minute flight just really took it right out of your back.
Jameson
It was in a very expensive massage. 500 is a little steep for a massage.
Brittany Haynes
Very cheap.
Doug Buten
You paid $500? Because I didn't.
Brittany Haynes
Do you tip on top or just the tip? Just. Okay, just the tip. 500 is just the tip.
Jameson
And they have. You have to give them the money up front. Yeah, well, I mean, do you have to give it to them or just show it to them?
Doug Buten
I think what they would say, at least in the movies is, let me see the money.
Jameson
Like, oh, in the movies.
Brittany Haynes
Oh, my God.
Jameson
Doug just turned bright red.
Brittany Haynes
So I actually brought a list of topics, if that's okay.
Doug Buten
Oh, my God. Wait. Britney.
Jameson
Holy shit.
Doug Buten
She really did. Brittany was like, how come I didn't stay at the B and B? That was her first question.
Jameson
Can I ask you about your spray tan?
Brittany Haynes
Ask me. Go ahead.
Jameson
Where did you get it done?
Brittany Haynes
I got it done two days ago at my spray tan place in Oklahoma.
Jameson
Yeah, you can go darker.
Brittany Haynes
I don't want to go darker because then I look spray tanned. I'm trying to look if she went darker, naturally glowing.
Jameson
Annie, what do you think with the spray tan?
Brittany Haynes
It's very pale. You think? But it looks good on you because you're blonde and you don't have like the dark contrast. You would look like. I am 14 shades more pale than this. She's all like, this is very tan to me.
Doug Buten
Yeah, well.
Jameson
Cause she said she had a spray tan and I just was like, oh, where'd it go? Yeah, maybe you did it too soon and it washed off or something.
Brittany Haynes
Maybe I can reapply because I did bring some touch. However, this is the look I'm going for, believe it or not.
Doug Buten
What color are you?
Brittany Haynes
Okay. I'm like, Jameson's color.
Jameson
No, no one is.
Brittany Haynes
Yes, I am. He's See through borderline translucent. That's us. No, we're together in that.
Jameson
Have you ever done a spray tan?
Brittany Haynes
This is very tan.
Oscar
I haven't. And I. I was actually just saying, I'm like. I should hit up Monica to get a spray tan.
Annie
She's at the house right now if you want to come over and get a spray tan.
Oscar
Not today.
Jameson
She sprayed Annie yesterday.
Oscar
I'm gonna consider it. I'm curious to see what it looks like.
Brittany Haynes
It's such a boost for the self esteem. Steam. I mean, the low point is getting naked for the spray tan.
Jameson
I know.
Brittany Haynes
Low of your life.
Jameson
I know, I know.
Brittany Haynes
Oh my God, your pace.
Jameson
And I was just sucking it in.
Brittany Haynes
The whole time you're trying to suck in. But it's. Things are not looking good and then not a chance. And then they. No, you have to.
Doug Buten
I'm doing the Chaz Dean.
Annie
But then if you're shirtless, if you're.
Brittany Haynes
Going to be in your Tommy.
Doug Buten
That's where I am going to be.
Brittany Haynes
If you're going to be in trunks, you are going to have to.
Jameson
He's not going to be in truck. We don't know.
Doug Buten
No, no, no.
Jameson
You heard what Patrick is wearing, right?
Brittany Haynes
No. What?
Jameson
The Speedo python. It's custom made. Pole's making it for him.
Brittany Haynes
Speaking of Speedo, have you seen any Instagram posts lately?
Doug Buten
Of whom?
Jameson
Frank.
Brittany Haynes
Brittany.
Oscar
I thought we were one and one on our skin tone. I thought we were cool, girl.
Brittany Haynes
No, I was actually referring to Stu's.
Jameson
Oh, no, I don't. I think I blocked him.
Brittany Haynes
It kind of looked good.
Jameson
I know that he was posting self. I heard he was posting selfies during the fires.
Brittany Haynes
Oh, cute.
Jameson
Yeah, at the gym.
Brittany Haynes
Well, remember when Doug tried. Toned deaf, that one. Remember when Doug tried to warn everyone that the fires and the winds were coming? And we openly mocked the winds on this program. And then in fact the fires and the winds did come. It was akin to when you made fun of COVID and then.
Doug Buten
Well, no, Jeff didn't make fun of COVID though.
Jameson
I warned everyone about COVID That's true.
Doug Buten
The way I was in the country.
Jameson
Because of me, chumps bought all the.
Brittany Haynes
Toilet paper because you didn't want those Girl scout cookies coming to your house.
Jameson
I didn't want what?
Brittany Haynes
Those girl Scout cookies coming to your house?
Jameson
No.
Brittany Haynes
So you were warning against the dangers of the door to door.
Jameson
That was selling. Okay, but I can't bring that up, Brittany, because that was another potential HR situation.
Brittany Haynes
It wasn't potential. That was a violation.
Jameson
Yeah, so let's. Oh, look at you with your love.
Brittany Haynes
I have.
Oscar
My Brittany legitimately has a list. She's holding a list in front of us right now.
Doug Buten
You'll see this list if you watch the video I would like for you.
Brittany Haynes
This is my protected all costs here at the bottom. And you're number one, Doug.
Doug Buten
Well, by the way, that's alphabetical, isn't it? Oh, no, it's not. Fortune would be second.
Jameson
Protect Doug at all costs.
Brittany Haynes
At all costs. He is invaluable to this program. You don't understand how much we love him in chump world. This is a show today. I am here as your chump representative.
Jameson
Okay, okay.
Brittany Haynes
And I am a chump, and I'm speaking on behalf of the chumps and for the chumps. I'm asserting myself in this role.
Jameson
Okay?
Brittany Haynes
I did not take a vote. This is not a democracy. And protect at all costs. Here we have Doug Buten.
Doug Buten
Name everybody else.
Brittany Haynes
Jameson. Jameson, you're on the list.
Oscar
Thank you so much.
Brittany Haynes
We absolutely love and adore you.
Doug Buten
Thank you.
Brittany Haynes
Jeff doesn't appreciate you enough. Stop being mean to Jameson.
Oscar
Keep going. Brittany.
Doug Buten
Yeah. Welcome.
Jameson
Please don't tell me Oscar's on that list.
Brittany Haynes
Oscar didn't.
Doug Buten
Oh, no, he's not on that list. He's not. Sorry, Oscar.
Franklin
Jameson. I'd like to put in my two weeks.
Brittany Haynes
To be fair, it was a very exclusive list. A list of only four.
Doug Buten
Yeah. If I.
Brittany Haynes
If I had a broader list, like, maybe.
Franklin
Oh, it's exclusive. I have to make the list.
Jameson
You actually look tan.
Franklin
Oh, I've been out in the sun lately.
Jameson
Okay.
Annie
Oh, I forgot you get tan in the sun.
Franklin
Yeah, yeah.
Jameson
Does anyone want to ask that why he's been outside. Does anyone want to ask? Does anyone care?
Brittany Haynes
Can we move back onto my list?
Doug Buten
Thanks, Oscar.
Brittany Haynes
Thanks for that, though. Jackie Schimmel.
Jameson
Yes.
Brittany Haynes
Jackie is like my fave. I'm like Jackie, but poor.
Doug Buten
Have you met Jackie?
Brittany Haynes
I'm like real Oklahoma Jackie.
Doug Buten
Yes.
Brittany Haynes
If Jackie was doing the Simple Life, that's.
Doug Buten
Have you met Jackie?
Brittany Haynes
Never. But I'm obsessed with her.
Doug Buten
We'll make that happen.
Brittany Haynes
I'm obsessed with Jackie Schimmel. So she's on my list. And then Fortune Feemster. These are the protect at all cost list. This is the. We're gonna be nice. You know how we tend to, like, get into conflicts, Jeff.
Jameson
I don't know what you're talking about.
Brittany Haynes
With our co hosts. And then they disappear forever. You know how that tends to happen.
Jameson
It's Jeff Lewis, Live Survivor.
Brittany Haynes
This is the four that. That we can't.
Jameson
Okay.
Brittany Haynes
They need immunity.
Jameson
Okay.
Brittany Haynes
Immunity. Oh, the immunity. Immunity. Yeah. They need a shield because we can't lose these.
Jameson
So that's Jackie, Doug and Jameson. That's easy. That's easy.
Brittany Haynes
You can lose everybody.
Annie
Wow.
Brittany Haynes
Jesus, Franklin. You are. You are like. Your son didn't make the list. No, you're beyond the list. You're actually related.
Jameson
Yeah. You're family. These are all my keying.
Brittany Haynes
And Annie, I listened to that one episode where Jeff, like, Semi 10 broke up with you. It was so uncomfortable. That can never happen again. Do you remember that sad episode?
Annie
How about that?
Jameson
I don't even know what you're talking about.
Doug Buten
That's part of the problem.
Annie
It was worse on air than it actually was.
Brittany Haynes
It was. It was like a weenie. You asked for, like space, basically, like, we need to step back a little bit. And you were like semi breaking up with Shane. It was so sad.
Doug Buten
You don't remember that?
Jameson
I don't even remember.
Doug Buten
It was a day of like, growth from Jeff. It was just like. It was a little bit of a boundary. It was a lowercase B boundary day. It was.
Jameson
Oh, I've been setting a lot of boundaries, Brittany.
Brittany Haynes
This was years ago.
Jameson
Oh, I wasn't setting boundaries then. No, I was crossing.
Brittany Haynes
I think you were actually. I think what it was was you were new relationship and you were like, trying to like, create some space so that you had more alone time with the new relationship.
Jameson
Didn't work.
Brittany Haynes
Didn't work at all. How'd that go? Are you reading?
Jameson
No amount of time could have fixed that.
Brittany Haynes
I only have one. Really? This is so important question.
Doug Buten
She has a list of like 10 questions.
Jameson
Wow. Yeah.
Brittany Haynes
When Scott left.
Jameson
Oh, my God.
Doug Buten
I'm interested.
Brittany Haynes
Did he take the fish? Oh, was there a fish sloshing situation? Did he pick the aquarium up and put it in his trunk and there's maybe fish on the pool. He left.
Jameson
Well, first of all, I broke up with him.
Brittany Haynes
Okay. And did he leave in a huffy?
Jameson
He left. Yes. And. But he left everything now. He left everything. Any gifts? He left. You know, that was for Monroe.
Brittany Haynes
So what happened to the fish?
Jameson
They died.
Brittany Haynes
They're all dead?
Jameson
Well, apparently you have to feed them.
Brittany Haynes
So they're gone, those fish, for a long time.
Annie
No, we passed away from house to house. They were in your car.
Brittany Haynes
You did slosh them from one place.
Annie
To the next in I think Monica's car.
Jameson
Do we have phones today? Have you noticed that the phones break down a lot?
Brittany Haynes
All the time. I actually called before when Frankie Grande was on. Do you remember that?
Annie
Yeah.
Brittany Haynes
Yeah, Frankie came. What were we saying about your short term versus long term memory?
Jameson
I have no long term memory whatsoever.
Brittany Haynes
But I don't expect you to remember every call.
Annie
What are your other questions?
Oscar
To answer the question you had that you just forgot. Yes, we do have.
Jameson
Oh, good. Yeah, sometimes I do that a lot. I'll ask the question, not listen to the answer, and then I'll ask the same question by the time in the.
Oscar
Event you wanted the answer. Yes, we do have phones.
Jameson
Thank you for doing it.
Brittany Haynes
If any of these are a favorite of yours, you can let me know.
Jameson
Okay. I'm sorry. I do have to ask.
Brittany Haynes
Okay, tell me what.
Jameson
What have you been doing in the sun? I'm sorry, I can't. I just can't. I have to.
Franklin
I've just been walking and then trying to figure out some new hobbies. I'm thinking about taking up boxing, and that's something I could do outside.
Brittany Haynes
That's not outside. Boxing is not outside.
Franklin
The classes that I'm looking into are outside. They're a huge group of people.
Brittany Haynes
They just. What, box in the park?
Franklin
Yeah.
Jameson
And then while we're speaking, sure. You had told me that you were gonna lay off Disneyland for a while and that you were into Universal, but then I saw a post with you and Andy at Disneyland, and me and.
Franklin
Andy are going to Universal today.
Annie
Oh, he's bi.
Jameson
So that I just. Cause you had put Disneyland on pause, but you Obviously Disneyland came off pause pretty quickly.
Franklin
Well, the reason I went to Disneyland with Andy was there was a new sipper that they were releasing, and I wanted it, so.
Annie
A new what?
Brittany Haynes
A new. Oh, a sipper.
Franklin
A sipper.
Doug Buten
This is a cup.
Brittany Haynes
Explain.
Franklin
It's a cup.
Jameson
Explain.
Franklin
That usually comes in a nice. Design the sipper that they had.
Brittany Haynes
Or he'll show you right now a collector item.
Franklin
It's a Captain America shield, and on the inside, you can fill it with water and there's a lid.
Doug Buten
Canteen.
Franklin
Yeah, like a canteen.
Oscar
It's a big thing for the Disney community. They design all these unique sippers. So it's a big part of.
Jameson
So you went back for a sipper?
Franklin
I did.
Jameson
For $9. Can't you just buy it online?
Franklin
No, that one you have to buy in the park. Those are exclusive parts.
Brittany Haynes
He probably wants the memory of purchasing the sipper. You know, like he wants to Marvel fan to walk in and see the sipper and hold the sipper and take it to the register. Like it's probably a process. Yeah, yeah.
Jameson
I did a play date with this other mom in school.
Brittany Haynes
Well, Jeff led us there. Let's not.
Jameson
It's about Disneyland.
Doug Buten
Jeff has moved on.
Jameson
It's about Disneyland. She was very nice. Very, very generous. Like, hey, we're gonna be taking, you know, so and so to Disneyland. Love you and Monroe to come. Here are the dates. And it was four dates. So you can't be like, I'm busy, I'm busy, I'm busy, I'm busy.
Brittany Haynes
You can't be busy every day.
Jameson
Right. So I had to be truly honest with her. And so I wrote hi. And I really do believe this. How many times have we been to Disneyland?
Annie
Probably 12.
Jameson
In the last. How many years?
Annie
Four years.
Jameson
I said hi. I took Monroe for her birthday last October. And I swore to myself it was the last time I will ever go to Disneyland. However, I appreciate the invite. I'd love to do another play date soon.
Brittany Haynes
I feel like that's acceptable.
Jameson
I know it's. Does it feel a little harsh? But I want to be truthful. I don't ever want to go to Disneyland again.
Brittany Haynes
I don't think that it's. I don't think that it's too harsh. I wholeheartedly disagree with the sentiment because I do like Disney.
Doug Buten
Yeah. I was gonna ask, have you. When you live in Oklahoma, do you come to Disneyland or do you go.
Brittany Haynes
To Disney World and have you taken the trail? And I highly suggest you never do that.
Doug Buten
What?
Brittany Haynes
Because he won't. He'll hate it.
Doug Buten
Disney World is so much bigger.
Brittany Haynes
It is so much bigger and so much better. But he doesn't like Disneyland, thus he will even more so.
Doug Buten
I think he'll love the world.
Brittany Haynes
I don't think so. Because it's a multi day experience.
Jameson
I don't want to go.
Brittany Haynes
It's taking a Disneyland day, but. Except for you never leave. I just. I love Disney World. Don't get me wrong. I love it. I don't think you will love it.
Franklin
I think Jeff would love Epcot though, because there's a lot of alcohol drinking around the world.
Jameson
Jeff doesn't want to go to another amusement park. I went to 12. I went Disneyland 12 times in four years. I'm fucking done.
Brittany Haynes
Somebody else will take her. It's just not for you.
Jameson
And I'm also.
Brittany Haynes
It is for me, but it's not for you.
Jameson
I'm getting vertigo now. That's a lot of walking.
Doug Buten
The rides hurt. I heard you talking about that.
Jameson
My back hurts.
Brittany Haynes
Oh, God. You cannot get up.
Jameson
I feel nauseous. I dizzy.
Brittany Haynes
You'll get snapped right now. Headaches, those dusty bones. You'll just crack, right?
Doug Buten
Brittany, come back.
Brittany Haynes
You will just snap right in half.
Jameson
Well, it was nice meeting you, Brittany.
Brittany Haynes
The pay. The payout might be good though.
Jameson
Oh, I'll talk to Patrick and Paul. I'll get the whistle while you work.

Brittany Haynes
Oh yeah.
Jameson
And I think he wants to ask a question. Hey, Michael.
Brittany Haynes
Great.
Michael
Hi, Brittany.
Brittany Haynes
Hi. How are you?
Michael
I'm good, thank you. I'm a huge traders fan. I just did the traders experience. I channeled your energy.
Brittany Haynes
I get to do that tomorrow, actually.
Michael
It's so fun. But I had a question for you. I wanted to know, what's the trader experience?
Jameson
Michael, I'm sorry.
Annie
Why didn't you bring me? There was all these gays going, all of Michael's friends. No one invited me.
Jameson
What is this?
Michael
It was so fun. It's an experience where you get to go in downtown LA and you get to like go into this mansion and you play the game and so you go with like 12 people and you actually somebody's a trader or a couple are traders.
Brittany Haynes
We're doing.
Michael
And you play the.
Doug Buten
It's so fun just for like the day.
Michael
Yeah, it's like an hour and a half.
Brittany Haynes
Yeah.
Doug Buten
Do they dump bugs on you and stuff? That's okay. We'll talk about that.
Jameson
All right, what's your question?
Michael
Okay, so I want to know two questions. One is, were you sad to see during the lease so early? And then two, I'm sure you can't Say too much. But what are your thoughts watching it back about Danielle as a trader?
Brittany Haynes
So I am a massive Housewives fan, Bravo fan in general. I've been watching Bravo since it was age inappropriate for me. Like original OG Day 1 Housewives of Orange county fan. Watched all the franchises. So of course I was a huge Dorinda fan. Fan of all the housewives that were there in general. But. But Dorinda primarily is such like a mega star housewife. So I was so, so excited to meet her. I was fortunate to be in the car with her day one, so that bought me some time with her. I really. So at the end of the day, I really wanted to invite to Bluestone Manor to come out of that season of the Traitors. And you know, she got killed so early, so I was lucky to have had her in the car day one. So at least she like even knows my name is great. But I would have never murdered her if I was a traitor. I was so sad that she got murdered because I really was so pumped about meeting her.
Jameson
Now, the Danielle comments. What about the Danielle, didn't you say. What was your second question?
Brittany Haynes
Oh, how do I feel about her.
Annie
As a traitor now that you're watching it?
Brittany Haynes
Watching it back has been really interesting. And I mean, I don't. So she comes from Big Brother. It's just a different world when you come from these like past competition reality shows. It's a different mentality and it's a different level at which you take the game. And so Danielle in particular has a reputation for Big Brother of being like a really strategic, cutthroat, social, manipulative player. Like, that was her thing. That is what she was known for. On season three, she was invited back to season seven All Stars stars for that reason because she was a really good player, but like a strategic player. And so I just think that with her background, it's not apples to apples when you put her in the turret with someone who doesn't have that background or someone who is not even necessarily like from. Doesn't have a strategic mindset. It's just they're going to approach things very differently now. She did take it way over the top and like with the seizure that she had last week, for example, or, you know, and in some of the missions and things like the one where you had to take a face down and put a face up, she was doing stuff that just made absolutely no sense. And I mean, I knew that sitting there, I'm like, what is she actually doing? It's not advantageous for you to get up to have to undo your own work. Like, this doesn't even make sense. So she took it to, like, the next level. But my defense would be she has a background in, like, reality competition, strategy, game. And so that's just what she was trying to bring, if that makes sense.
Doug Buten
Were you surprised at what a. Now that you've been watching it back, What a mess they were in the turret.
Brittany Haynes
Yeah.
Doug Buten
And for people who don't follow traitors, you know, there's two people that we're talking about who were. Or three actually, who were the murderers. And they could not agree on anything.
Brittany Haynes
On anything.
Doug Buten
The conversations, they were just screaming at each other. They were going after each other. And so.
Brittany Haynes
Yeah, and that had been told to me, like, after the fact, like, oh, my gosh, we didn't get along in the turd. It was a nightmare. It was horrible. But I thought surely it wasn't going to be as bad as what I was being told. And so then watching it, I was like, oh, my God, it is that it was irreconcilable. Like, there is just absolutely. There was no way to repair it after, like, Jeff's just staring at me because he doesn't watch this show. He has no way to watch episode one. Did you watch it when MJ was on?
Jameson
No, not at all. I watched a couple episodes.
Brittany Haynes
Okay.
Jameson
It's never grabbed me. I try, but it's. I know.
Brittany Haynes
I could tell that she had, like, a bad fate on the show because she was never talking about it on this show. And everyone who comes on this show talks about whatever they're doing. You know, it's like, oh, watch me on this. Or, you know, watch cooking kibbits, whatever.
Jameson
No one says that she was.
Brittany Haynes
She was never mentioning Traders and it was airing. And so I'm like, this is so bizarre that she's not talking about Traders or why is she not saying, like, watch me on Traders? So I knew she must have a bad experience. So I actually text Dan, who was on her season, not that you would know that, and was like, what happened to mj? And he was like, just watch. Just watch. And so I knew that it was gonna be bad because of the way she was never talking about it. And then she, like, had that viral moment where she's walking backwards, walking backwards. And you guys never brought that up. I'm like, how are we not talking about the fact that this we did with each other? But was she mad about it or something? Because it literally would never get brought up. And it was hilar.
Michael
I mean, I think she was legitimately upset by it. She, like, she had like pretty strong feelings about it and she was creeper.
Doug Buten
Not the me it was.
Michael
No, not the creeper. But like the show and how it turned out.
Brittany Haynes
No, she. She did establish a legacy, though. We call that now getting MJ'd. I mean, like, it's a thing. Like we would, we would use that term. Like, oh, don't you think you'll get MJ'd if you go with XYZ? Like that's like a real thing.
Jameson

I won't let my moderate to severe.

Plaque psoriasis symptoms define me emerge as you in two clinical studies, Trimfaia guselcumab taken by injection, provided 90% clear skin at 16 weeks in 7 out of 10 adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. In a study, nearly 7 out of 10 patients with 90% clearer skin at 16 weeks were still clearer at 5 years. At 1 year and thereafter, patients and healthcare providers knew that Tremphya was being used. This may have increased results. Results may vary.
Jeff Lewis
Serious allergic reactions may occur. Tremphya may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. Before treatment, your doctor should check you for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms of infection, including fever, fever, sweats, chills, muscle aches or cough. Tell your doctor if you had a vaccine or plan to emerge.

Jeff Lewis Has Issues: Episode Summary
Episode: Britney Haynes & Doug Budin: "The Traitors" & Uniforms
Release Date: March 7, 2025
In this episode of "Jeff Lewis Has Issues," host Jameson welcomes long-time listeners Brittany Haynes and Doug Buten as special guests. Both Brittany and Doug bring a wealth of experience from their time on various reality competition shows, notably Big Brother. Brittany shares her journey, stating, "2010 is when I did Big Brother 12, so my very first... that's when reality television peaked" (02:17). Doug echoes her sentiments about the enduring drama of reality TV, remarking, "When you're Jeff Lewis, the drama never stops" (01:05).
The discussion shifts to Brittany and Doug’s recent involvement in supporting Susan Powder's book, "And Then M Died. Stop the Insanity. A Memoir." Jameson highlights the overwhelming response from their community, stating, "As of this morning at 7:15am she was number 93" in Amazon sales (06:03). Doug emphasizes the long-term benefits, "she is now able to use that as PR. She is now able to say I was number one in memoirs on Amazon" (06:20). Brittany adds, "She's so incredibly grateful... she has the money to take care of it" (07:14), underscoring the impact of their charitable efforts.
Brittany delves into her family life, discussing the challenges of balancing her career with parenting. She explains how her husband plays a pivotal role, "He always totally steps in. He's got it handled" (11:14). The conversation touches on the division of household responsibilities, especially regarding their children's routines and school preparations. Brittany shares a humorous anecdote about preparing her kids' outfits to ensure they are seasonally appropriate, noting, "I laid out all of their outfits for the week for school" (12:52).
The guests discuss the practicality of school uniforms compared to their own experiences. Jameson highlights the simplicity of uniforms, "Monroe has uniforms. Makes it so easy. You can't fuck it up" (13:28), contrasting it with Brittany's challenges in managing her children's attire without uniform requirements. This leads to a broader conversation about childcare dynamics and the reliance on Brittany's husband and her mother for support when she's away for filming.
Brittany and Doug reflect on their time interacting with other co-hosts and participants. Brittany introduces her "Protect at All Costs" list, humorously detailing the key individuals she believes should be safeguarded within their community: "This is a very exclusive list... Protect Doug at all costs. He is invaluable to this program" (20:31). The segment emphasizes the tight-knit nature of their circle and the importance of loyalty and support among "chumps."
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing the reality show "The Traitors." Brittany offers her insights on contestant Danielle, a strategic player from Big Brother, explaining, "She has a reputation for being a really strategic, cutthroat, social, manipulative player" (35:18). She critiques Danielle's gameplay in "The Traitors," noting instances where Danielle's strategies didn't translate well, such as during missions that "just made absolutely no sense" (35:47). Doug comments on the intense conflicts within the show, observing, "The conversations, they were just screaming at each other" (37:09), highlighting the chaotic environment contestants faced.
The episode features a listener call from Michael, a fan of "The Traitors," who inquires about the "Trader Experience." Brittany enthusiastically explains, "It's an experience where you get to go in downtown LA and you get to like go into this mansion and you play the game" (33:39). The interaction showcases the community engagement and the show's influence beyond its broadcast.
Throughout the episode, Brittany and Doug share lighthearted moments and personal stories, adding humor and relatability. From discussing the intricacies of spray tans to recounting awkward social interactions, their camaraderie shines. For instance, Brittany jokes about her spray tan efforts, saying, "I'd like to hit up Monica to get a spray tan" (17:39), while Doug humorously admits, "I have to have the video" regarding past incidents (15:11).
This episode of "Jeff Lewis Has Issues" offers a blend of insightful discussions on reality TV dynamics, heartfelt charity work, and relatable family challenges, all interwoven with humor and genuine interactions. Brittany Haynes and Doug Buten provide an engaging perspective on navigating personal and professional landscapes within the reality TV sphere, making it a compelling listen for both dedicated fans and newcomers alike.
