Johnny, it may have been your skits that introduced me to you, but it was your honesty and love of helping and educating others with your partner in makeup crime that I stayed. I hope you can have positive emotions if you ever get back to your comedy/beauty videos. I can only speak for myself, but I will still support you even if you decided to try something new.
Yes I agree! I saw his shorts first , his comedy skits and that drew me in but I have stayed ! I love this channel and the pateron . I love learning about makeup and skincare, using that in my everyday application. Its not Sunday without B&B love you both !!!!!!
Agreed. My first thought when someone else is talking about a product is ‘What would Johnny say?’ If you were to open my makeup drawer.. it is every product you have recommended for dry mature skin. You are amazing at what you do.
It's not just about beauty with you two, but it's all beautiful. You come through the camera with an authenticity about life that makes us all feel less alone in this mess. We are beautiful and we are bothered. Bothered by society hating femininity, bothered by being told lies for our time and money, bothered by brands like Natasha Denona selling out their creative liberty for the "weirdos" just to stay on the Sephora shelves, bothered by being slut shamed for fucking anything, bothered by people that we love being ostracized for the very thing we love them for, and yet. And yet you two continue to show up. We have struggles like you, and that you continue to show up and create space for what you want to see in the world even when it feels impossible makes us want to keep doing it with you, in our own ways and our own lives. I remember being in such a dark place all alone listening to your video on Rare Beauty Johnny, I was a pregnant single mom of two because I chose to give myself a chance to ask for more than what I had in that shit relationship, and you talked about how it was for you with Casey and it gave me the hope to keep on keeping on. You two really take the time to appreciate how much you guys mean to us, but even still I can't imagine that you really know what a positive impact you both really have
Thanks for showing up for us even when it’s hard. Wearing your heart on your sleeve can be so hard when it’s not received well, keep being you Johnny, some people just are not your people. I love you both❤
My favorite part of the Beauty Community is the folks I trust: there are maybe 10 content creators, and y'all are at the top of the list! Have a lovely Thanksgiving, fellas.
Johnny I just wanted to tell you that I first saw you on your comedy videos. I dig deeper and saw a young dark haired man giving makeup tutorials where you even included mature women. As a makeup whore approaching her 70’s, this made me feel so appreciated. I want you to know that I appreciate you. And Kevin is like your guardian angel. Love to both. Hope you see this.
Johnny, a diagnosis can be helpful but can also send you into a down period. You might be reassessing things in your past and wondering how things could have been different if you’d known sooner, and that can almost feel like a grieving period. It gets better. Much love ❤️
I am saying this with my whole chest. Parasocial is minimal. The best part of the beauty community is you two. I've been watching and obsessing over makeup since 2015 and you two have brought me more joy, validation and understanding than I've ever felt on here. It's the honesty, the vibes, the acceptance. Two real people who actually do love each other who are in stable relationships, aren't peppy 20 year olds saying they're getting old... It's just... Real life, always beautiful, sometimes bothered, occasionally bankrupt 😂
I'm so sorry that you had the experience you did with the beauty community. Please remember that we love you and know that the wizard is not real. We got your back. Take as much time as you need for videos. We'll still be here for every video. Love you!
I could really relate to Johnny saying he had to learn to play with makeup again. When I first started working with clay, I would fall asleep thinking about it. I would daydream about it. Then, I did a BFA in Ceramics. After that, I started a business straight out of school. Add to that my brother’s illness and death and chronic pain and mental health diagnoses. I burned out. The things that used to be my escape (clay and painting) became obligations instead. You end up serving so many masters that the joy gets lost. I think the reason B&B is so healing for you both and for us is that it’s a wonderful mixture of catharsis, honesty and downright silliness. It’s play. And, we all sure need it right now. Love you both so much!
I need to thank both of you. I lost my husband to suicide two weeks ago, and this is such a a needed distraction, and reminder of life outside of my nightmare. I just wanted you to know that your work here matters. Thank you.
Love you both! Just got CO2 laser treatment done on my face this Thursday, the peeling be happening, and every time I look in the mirror, all I hear is Mr. Ross yelling "FLAKEY!!!"🤣
Guys I just want to hug you both so tightly right now!! Whether other people in the industry see your value or not, WE'RE YOUR TRIBE! Here you've found your people! I cannot emphasize enough the light you bring to so many lives... I'm here in a forgotten town in the middle of nowhere in Jalisco, Mexico, just taking care of my daughter 24/7 because she unfortunately has cerebral palsy, and sometimes, I'm not even exaggerating, I realize watching B&B that it's the first time I have laughed out loud in the whole week!... and anyone who's dealt with depression, and even suicidal ideation, knows that sometimes those "insignificant" moments can keep you going a bit more, and then just a bit more, and so on... I used to comment on every video, and for some reason stopped because I felt unseen (which I know it's on me, not you) but wanted to vome back to say: What you guys bring to the World MATTERS! ❤️ Lots of love from Mexico as always! 💚🤍❤️
Thank you for your comment and sharing all of this! We appreciate you and your loyalty. Grateful for the tribe... sending you lots of love, light, and laughter. Xo Johnny ❤🩹
I know that the Jeffries and the McKaylas will continue to get bigger but both of Johnny’s and Kevin’s authenticity will always be stronger. You’ve built a loyal community and your passion and efforts will always be rewarded, I promise you. Never, ever stop, you do so much for us ❤love you both
Thank you both so much for continuing to post content. Like others have said, your videos are one of the brightest highlights of the week for me. The industry as a whole is kinda crappy but I watch the podcast and joined patreon because of the two of you, not the industry. I hope you realize the positive impact that you have on others. Lots of love to you both.
May I add, what is great about the beauty world is the love and respect we get to witness every week with your relationships with each other and the honesty you give to us. We also love and respect you because you show us each, we how honest adults can work together with integrity and respect and then close the door when the day is done with your love very much intact. Bravo Boys . Keep it coming. You're both make us all proud.
Girl F them all and make your own space in the world. What you and Kevin are making is amazing! Change your content and just have it be you and Kevin! Who cares! When you are both doing stuff together aand what you genuinely love it comes across so much more authentic. I love it and we all love it! You two are so genuin and a breath of fresh air in the beauty/content world.
We love this community ❤. You guys provide education, entertainment and honesty!!!! You genuinely have a love for beauty and its such a pleasure to watch. THANK YOU Johnny and Kevin.
ADHD, melatonin disasters, social anxiety, sleep paralysis, magnesium supplements and not drinking water. OMG I can relate! (Despite being a 48yo woman 😂) Kevin’s hair is gorge. Johnny you rocked that beautiful eye look. Keep doing what you’re doing. Your followers love your content and your personalities ❤
Johnny I get where you are coming from. But for everyone reading this, the light at the end of the tunnel is the joy you create for yourself. As an elder millenial, i was focused on that grind and progress and ideals and I got disillusioned. But I have discovered that it's about pouring into my wellness, genuine connections, spirituality, health and things that bring me joy that is what makes life worth living. And pour into those who pour into you.
I just wanted to comment that the two of you are so appreciated. I respect your honesty, admire your talents, and enjoy your humor so much. The podcast and Beyond Bothered Patreon episodes are high spots of my week. Thank you both, and I'm looking forward to the day that Johnny can also resume his comedy episodes.
As someone in a job that they love with a shitty boss, I appreciate the candid conversation. I'm going on my third month in retail with a skeleton crew. And it is rough. I'm the SM, so I'm 95% of the skeleton. Lol. To hear Kevin say....."There's no light at the end of the tunnel?," hit hard. I've been thinking about this a lot. To anyone else thinking this or feeling this, you are the light. You are the Divine in the everyday. YOU are the spectacular person that is here for a reason. The light may not be at a job you hate or love, or a partner you hate or love. The light can be you. As a witch, I believe that we are the divine. We're the beauty in the world, especially when we are trying to make it the best we can. Thank you Kevin and Johnny for helping be part of the light in these rough times.
I'm so glad you two have each other for support. There's no replacement for having someone in your life who *gets* it. And having a friend to help and listen and hold you accountable makes getting through the tough times so much more doable, in a way subscribers and PR and exclusive events never will.
I like living in Johnny’s world. I want more creators like this - who aren’t afraid to say that the glamour is a disguise, and the lip stain swatches are still on a pig. Beauty is a business, and there’s zero harm in staying grounded in that. What a blessing it is for all of us to be sharing this timeline and these moments with people like Johnny and Kevin. I think we are objectively all the better for it.
Careful with magnesium. It can effect your heart rate. I have Adhd, been off meds since the "Great Stimulant shortage". Having a steady routine is helping me so much. Mind over matter baby, We got this!!!
I am absolutely BEGGING for a hair breakdown the same way you two do it for makeup. I need the 101’s. Round brush this way for volume, that way for curl, etc. I know NOTHING about hair. I used to be the same way with makeup but I can confidently say I’m a certified baddie after listening since the very first episode. The difference in my old makeup vs current is NOTICEABLE and I need that for hair asap.
You’ve both changed more lives than you will ever know. And you did all that in the hardest years of your life. And that’s what makes you guys so special . Despite everything happening around you, you have built such a strong, loyal, positive community. You are both so appreciated and loved. The B&B family is riding till the wheels fall off baby ❤
As someone who worked in the beauty industry for (too many) years I completely understand the behind the scenes BS. Just keeping doing the things that you love and are passionate about and it will reward you in the best ways. Thank you both for B&B - it’s breath of fresh air!
You boys look SO pretty today! Here I am with my damp hair pulled back in a bun, a sheet mask on my face and a fatty latte in hand to listen to my favorite YT boys spill the tea.
Okay, you're speaking my language because I've spent over 30 years studying nutrition and nutrients. Magnesium Glycinate is the one Kevin is needing for better sleep. You may also want to look into GABA, and during high anxiety times, Valerian Root, which also helps with migraines. One caveat of Valerian Root though is that for some people ( like me) it results in extremely vivid dreams. It's entirely possible that the melatonin pills Johnny was talking about that gave hallucinations could've also contained Valerian Root.
I’m glad Hannah asked you both the questions I would’ve asked. Thanks for being honest and vulnerable it’s not just you guys I think some are in denial like the woman promoting coffee at the end of the world some are pressing on and some are just over it but we all feel the feeling of this current reality is not it and things are only getting worse
this podcast has the most articulate views and explanations of a creator's experience in the beauty industry. you guys deserve more recognition. both you and kevin are very insightful! so much so, that i'm actually mentioning your podcast in an essay of mine 😅 edit: this is an essay for college, if anyone is wondering the level
I’m editing my comment, but I’m so sorry to hear that this year has been trying Johnny. It’s terrible to have the shades come off and realize just how many people you thought were different actually have no problems being a cog in the system (Bretman Rock left for a reason). But I am glad that this podcast has been good for you, and I am so incredibly glad that we can give you back even a fraction of what you give to us. You built this. We wouldn’t even have this amazing space had you not taken the plunge on your own. We wouldn’t have Kevin on this podcast without you. You deserve so much, I promise, and anything we can do to make that happen for you or make it even a teensy bit better I know we will try our best to and support anything you personally need to do to make it happen for yourself. You always come before any content, always. I hope December doesn’t suck too terribly. (And Kevin I am so sorry you couldn’t find the Christmas rat. I was really rooting for you.) Oh hell yes, I’ve been wondering if we were going to get a little spilt tea before year’s end. Perfect way to spend my evening while stress organizing my apartment. Also, so with Johnny, I HATE the taste of water. I can’t even tell you what it is, it just makes me nauseated. I’ve had to supplement with iced herbal teas or infusions just to make it easier to drink. (Gonna look into the magnesium thing too, it sounds like it might be helpful. I didn’t know there were different ‘strains’ of it). And I had Johnny’s melatonin story but on Ambien, it’s a hard pass for me. Also, I don’t know if it’s been said but I LOVE the jazz number intro/outro. It’s so SNL but it’s better ❤
Just remember that the real world is sick of liars and fakes. Thank you both for being true. I hope the best is yet to come for the both of u, and u will heal from the recent year of pain. If I were a betting woman, I'd say the lessons ur learning right now are gearing u up for a very happy future.❤😊
I think it’s so great Johnny that you have found this space with Kevin because we all love this pod, but you gotta know, that being you in the make up community, being that real, the fake people are, of course, going to react in the ways that you described. What you can’t let happen is that negative reaction that those people have to your authenticity (because they lack it), to stifle your glow because we need to see all of you - you can’t let them snuff that out simply because they can’t handle it!!! You got an amazing gift for comedy, but you’re also so genuine and that is not a liability to us! In fact, I think your ADD has probably made it possible for you to adapt your comedy to the TikTok format in a way that is so infectious. We love you we support you, keep giving it to us girl as long as it feels right
Hearing Johnny and Kevin talk about everything at the end of the episode, just makes me want to like meet them and let them have another person to vent to. Johnny I know EXACTLY how you feel, I have ADHD myself, and I have been struggling to do anything without my roommate/best friend beside me. I have been so burnt out, struggling so hard just to keep up with everything, as Kevin put it “octopus with 8 arms keeping everything going” I get home from work, and just crash. I can’t even bring myself to cook a meal. You’re not alone Johnny and Kevin, you have people struggling with the same issues you have. We are here for you guys, and want to see you guys have all the success possible. It’s why I was a day one supporter on Patreon, I want you two to go as far as possible, and be there every step of the way.
6:57 Omg, Johnny, my daily to do list literally says things like, “drink water,” “brush teeth,” “eat lunch” because I will forget. And when I do hydrate, regular water is boring. Need Pellegrino. Gotta love that ADHD!
Omg! The suggestion for practice - exactly! Find someone that has a similar eye shape that you do and follow those folks. Find eyeshadow looks you like and practice them - but trust yourself also - exactly as they said! Trust the process / finish the full look and then decide what you will do different last time - it took me years! ❤
Oh Johnny 😢 I just want to say thank u for everything u share and do for us. I to have had a hard year....alot of lessons and eye opening events...and this pod and u 2 really got me thru some hard days❤
@beautifulandbothered naw thanks so much ur 2 sweet....big life changes made and I'm happier in my space in life than iv ever been.....but thanks for being there on the rough days
Favorite day of the week! Lol also my end of the year UA-cam recap told me I've watched every episode of this podcast for a total listen time of over 5000 minutes 😂😂😂
I found Johnny via his shorts, but it sent me here, that’s good enough for me. If he wants to make more, that’s fine, but if he doesn’t, that’s fine too. Nothing BUT love. 💜
Not me waiting for Johnny to say "tired, corny, and played out" after Kevin saying "it's a little corny" when Johnny called it pillowtalk cosmetics 😂 On a serious note, adore you both and I can sympathize with having a bad year unfortunately. I hope you both are able to find more that you love about the beauty community soon, because it wouldn't be the same without both of you here. ❤
I already loved you two due to your sense of humor and the fact that I get 99% of your references lol, and I appreciate your honesty and skillsets. But that part around 56:00 made me respect you 1000x more ❤
For reasons involving Storm Bert, which has dumped an unholy amount of rain on the UK, I am completely soaked through to the skin, muddy and cold. The podcast is as transformative to my mood as a hot shower. Thank you for putting the effort in every week to bring us fantastic content. You both look marvellous too. EDIT: Listening to the end of this podcast - this level of authenticity and self awareness is what keeps me listening to the podcast. I was drawn in by the brilliance of the comedy shorts, but I stay for the humanity, the banter and for the B&B community.
This was one of the hardest years of my life too and your podcast made me laugh and helped me get through it. I related so much to what Johnny said, I lost friends this year too and it can be so painful and nobody talks about it. Love you guys and hang in there! 💜
Johnny and Kevin, I have to thank you both. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you talk about all aspects of beauty : formula, marketing, makeup techniques, the good and the bad, both candidly and seriously, always giving thoughtful and genuine advice. Watching this podcast has reshaped my relationship with makeup, beauty and even my own health in general. I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for years. On top of that, going through hair loss right now, so I haven't been feeling too beautiful these past few months. You guys make me excited about beauty again and hopeful that, with proper care, I can feel beautiful inside and out again. Take care, both of you
Johnny and Kevin, I love you both so much. Thank you for making great content for us every week. Your podcast is the highlight of my week. And thank you so much for the magnesium recommendations. I am going order some right now before my ADHD brain completely forgets. And you both look great 💜
Hey Johnny - as someone who has a hard time remembering to drink water, try some flavored water! The brand Sparkling Ice has dozens of flavored waters with little calories, and there's usually cheaper store brands that don't fizz like sparkling water (those are my personal favorites since I don't like fizzy water).
I have adhd and autism and EVERY TIME I get my blood tested I have low magnesium even though I supplement. MY doctor did say it was normal in her ADHD patients to see that so she started recommending most of her patients supplement for it since so many people aren’t diagnosed but have symptoms that get a little bit less once they start taking Magnesium .
I know yall really do go through the most all the time. I just wanted to get here and let you know that you guys really are such two amazing humans. I use catch phrases by you two. I say things that you guys say. I only try products yall recommend. I see things and think Johnny and Kevin would love this. I truly feel like you guys have let us know who you are and it makes this podcast feel like a family get together every week. You guys have given me a lot of confidence with makeup. I wear it more than I ever have and you guys have shown me that it’s okay. You guys are truly amazing. I love you both and I hope that if I get to meet you in person it just feels like a family reunion. You guys truly are a gift to us guys. Keep your chin up Kevin and Johnny and just know that this content saves gay men like me. And many other members of the alphabet mafia and under represented community’s also. Keep it up. We all love you.
Johnny and Kevin you two are a bright spot in a crappy world for your B&B family. You give us something to look forward to each week with your chaos, joking around and sassiness. We love getting to learn new things from you both as well as the small glimpses you give us into your lives. You two and the Welsh twins are literally the only beauty content I follow because I know I can trust what you say AND because you all truly care about your followers and treat us like a family. Thank you both for everything you do and all of the work you put into hanging out with your B&B family. Love to you both. 💝
@beautifulandbothered awwwwww yay! We've been spending every Sunday together for almost a year now, so you two truly do feel like my friends 💜 and you can't hear it but I throw my own commentary in with your podcast every week 🤣
An episode idea: critiquing submitted makeup looks! Like a subscriber could send in a selfie of the makeup and ask what you would change or help on how to better something in it. Love the pod. You two are like sitting with two friends in front of the fireplace and having a great time! Your podcast is such a delight and the beauty community really doesn't know what they're missing by treating you the way they do. You two are loved ❤❤
When i was a young girl i remember thinking that lipstick never lasted long. So i thought, why not use nail polish on my lips?! Ummm.....the smell and the taste of nail polish and nail polish remover, girl😂. I think i was like 10/11 years old. Oy!
@50:26 It became a habit of mine to listen to your pod while catching up at work. Being a graphic designer of a company, they think you can get inspired and produce something right away. Kevin, your message here struck a chord. I was sketching something when you uttered those golden nuggets of wisdom. Thank you! For the last 4-5 weeks, I’m trying to balance personal and professional life and forget to check on myself (I’m saving and taking care of strays) and during my lunch breaks, I just looked at an album of one of my cats who passed on and just break down… then right after I get up and work and be the partner I’m expected to be. I’m going on a tangent here but I just wanted to say your tandem brings me happiness and now awareness of what I should not be doing on my rest day. I realize I’m not slacking off, they’re just putting me in so much pressure from multiple projects just because I’m getting shit done during my weekend. Love you both!
I am crying again you guys put yourselves out there. I look forward to Sunday so much. I am refreshing all day until your videos go up. Just know both of you bring so much joy to the community it may not always help, but you are loved.
Johnny your take on water is hilarious! “It just takes up space and is nothing”. Oh man whattttt!!!! I love water. Water is my favorite thing everrrrr.
i love you both so much!!! i also get teary eyed when asked how i’m really doing ❤ it’s when people take the time to ask me that question and really wanna know…❤
@@beautifulandbotheredit all works out ❤ i try to remember that u know ur goin the right way when u meet more obstacles….like when playing a video game 🍄
My Dad told me one morning, that he had a very bad nightmare, that he was stuck in a field with a very high ditch and no gate out. There was also a very big dragon after him. He would run to the furthest away ditch and start trying to crawl over it, the dragon would come after him and he would have to run to the opposite ditch. When he woke up, he had crawled over my mother in the bed. I just looked at my mother and asked what the hell were you dreaming of last night? Keep up the good work boys , love your podcast.
I love that you guys encourage people to play with makeup and develop their own sense of style. Also...................Kevin ............. those shoes, so cute.
I love you both. Johnny, thank you for speaking up about 'The Wizard' and standing in truth. It's so incredibly important, and I truly love you for it. ❤
You are two of the most beautiful souls. This 60 year old lady finds some much joy when watching you both. I have subscribed to your Patron because I appreciate the honesty you bring to this space. Love you both, keep going.❤❤❤
Being diagnosed with add or adhd is such a big hit because u realise why u are how U r why u act how u do and that to manage it is the hardest thing simple things for ppl without adhd/add can feel almost impossible for ppl with adhd/add its alot to take in and even more to manage love you guys oh so much ❤❤❤❤
Aww, Johnny. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and struggle with your creativity. I've faced it too, It's a grieving process,. You have Kevin , the podcast and us. We love you and look forward to Sundays because of you two. Peace and love to you in your new direction, we'll be cheering you on. ❤
The makeup community may not appreciate you, Johnny, but remember, we in the B&B community all love and appreciate you!!
Yes!!! 💯
Thank you love ❤🩹❤🩹
The only Patreon content I will pay for 😂 y'all are worth it!
Same here!❤
Johnny, it may have been your skits that introduced me to you, but it was your honesty and love of helping and educating others with your partner in makeup crime that I stayed. I hope you can have positive emotions if you ever get back to your comedy/beauty videos. I can only speak for myself, but I will still support you even if you decided to try something new.
Thank you love ❤🩹
Yes I agree! I saw his shorts first , his comedy skits and that drew me in but I have stayed ! I love this channel and the pateron . I love learning about makeup and skincare, using that in my everyday application. Its not Sunday without B&B love you both !!!!!!
Agreed. My first thought when someone else is talking about a product is ‘What would Johnny say?’ If you were to open my makeup drawer.. it is every product you have recommended for dry mature skin. You are amazing at what you do.
Second that!
YES - +1 on that!!!
Johnny….. It’s you, Kevin, and all of us! Please know so many of us love you two so much. We see you, we hear you, and we are here for you. 😊❤🤗
❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹
It's not just about beauty with you two, but it's all beautiful. You come through the camera with an authenticity about life that makes us all feel less alone in this mess. We are beautiful and we are bothered. Bothered by society hating femininity, bothered by being told lies for our time and money, bothered by brands like Natasha Denona selling out their creative liberty for the "weirdos" just to stay on the Sephora shelves, bothered by being slut shamed for fucking anything, bothered by people that we love being ostracized for the very thing we love them for, and yet. And yet you two continue to show up. We have struggles like you, and that you continue to show up and create space for what you want to see in the world even when it feels impossible makes us want to keep doing it with you, in our own ways and our own lives. I remember being in such a dark place all alone listening to your video on Rare Beauty Johnny, I was a pregnant single mom of two because I chose to give myself a chance to ask for more than what I had in that shit relationship, and you talked about how it was for you with Casey and it gave me the hope to keep on keeping on. You two really take the time to appreciate how much you guys mean to us, but even still I can't imagine that you really know what a positive impact you both really have
Thanks for showing up for us even when it’s hard. Wearing your heart on your sleeve can be so hard when it’s not received well, keep being you Johnny, some people just are not your people. I love you both❤
❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹
My favorite part of the Beauty Community is the folks I trust: there are maybe 10 content creators, and y'all are at the top of the list! Have a lovely Thanksgiving, fellas.
Thank you love, enjoy your holiday as well!
Johnny I just wanted to tell you that I first saw you on your comedy videos. I dig deeper and saw a young dark haired man giving makeup tutorials where you even included mature women. As a makeup whore approaching her 70’s, this made me feel so appreciated. I want you to know that I appreciate you. And Kevin is like your guardian angel. Love to both. Hope you see this.
Echoing the rest of your sub club: THE BEST PART OF SUNDAYS is BEAUTIFUL & BOTHERED!!!!!!!!!! (and Jen Luv ;-] )
and fellas: just drink your water. just drink it!!!! for the love of beauty, your skin and guts will thank you. PLEASE.
and thank you again for minutes on the wizard/ emperors new clothes of beauty. xoxo
Yes. Sans Jen Luvs
AGREED
Love the side eye Johhny gave Kevin over the gloss
Johnny, a diagnosis can be helpful but can also send you into a down period. You might be reassessing things in your past and wondering how things could have been different if you’d known sooner, and that can almost feel like a grieving period. It gets better. Much love ❤️
This was definitely true for me!!
I am saying this with my whole chest. Parasocial is minimal. The best part of the beauty community is you two. I've been watching and obsessing over makeup since 2015 and you two have brought me more joy, validation and understanding than I've ever felt on here. It's the honesty, the vibes, the acceptance. Two real people who actually do love each other who are in stable relationships, aren't peppy 20 year olds saying they're getting old... It's just... Real life, always beautiful, sometimes bothered, occasionally bankrupt 😂
Thank you lovie 💋
I'm so sorry that you had the experience you did with the beauty community. Please remember that we love you and know that the wizard is not real. We got your back. Take as much time as you need for videos. We'll still be here for every video. Love you!
I could really relate to Johnny saying he had to learn to play with makeup again. When I first started working with clay, I would fall asleep thinking about it. I would daydream about it. Then, I did a BFA in Ceramics.
After that, I started a business straight out of school. Add to that my brother’s illness and death and chronic pain and mental health diagnoses. I burned out. The things that used to be my escape (clay and painting) became obligations instead. You end up serving so many masters that the joy gets lost.
I think the reason B&B is so healing for you both and for us is that it’s a wonderful mixture of catharsis, honesty and downright silliness. It’s play. And, we all sure need it right now. Love you both so much!
SO true!
❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹
I need to thank both of you. I lost my husband to suicide two weeks ago, and this is such a a needed distraction, and reminder of life outside of my nightmare.
I just wanted you to know that your work here matters. Thank you.
Sending you love ❤❤❤ I'm so sorry for your loss
Sending you so much love 💕
We are both so sorry for your loss. We are sending SO MUCH love your way ♥ and will always be here to help you smile - XO
Sending so much love to you - so sorry for your loss.
Love you both! Just got CO2 laser treatment done on my face this Thursday, the peeling be happening, and every time I look in the mirror, all I hear is Mr. Ross yelling "FLAKEY!!!"🤣
😂😂😂😂
I laugh every single time!😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Momma!!
Guys I just want to hug you both so tightly right now!! Whether other people in the industry see your value or not, WE'RE YOUR TRIBE! Here you've found your people!
I cannot emphasize enough the light you bring to so many lives... I'm here in a forgotten town in the middle of nowhere in Jalisco, Mexico, just taking care of my daughter 24/7 because she unfortunately has cerebral palsy, and sometimes, I'm not even exaggerating, I realize watching B&B that it's the first time I have laughed out loud in the whole week!... and anyone who's dealt with depression, and even suicidal ideation, knows that sometimes those "insignificant" moments can keep you going a bit more, and then just a bit more, and so on...
I used to comment on every video, and for some reason stopped because I felt unseen (which I know it's on me, not you) but wanted to vome back to say: What you guys bring to the World MATTERS! ❤️
Lots of love from Mexico as always! 💚🤍❤️
Thank you for your comment and sharing all of this! We appreciate you and your loyalty. Grateful for the tribe... sending you lots of love, light, and laughter. Xo Johnny ❤🩹
I know that the Jeffries and the McKaylas will continue to get bigger but both of Johnny’s and Kevin’s authenticity will always be stronger.
You’ve built a loyal community and your passion and efforts will always be rewarded, I promise you.
Never, ever stop, you do so much for us ❤love you both
Thank you love ❤🩹❤🩹
I am HERE for the DRAMA Queens❤ got my drink , my fancy robe and my little dog ready
😂😂
My little dog lol 💙🐾
Yes! Diva!
Every time I see a non- specific title, I get really excited because I know the episode is gonna be just ~vibes~
the vibes are vibing 💕
Thank you both so much for continuing to post content. Like others have said, your videos are one of the brightest highlights of the week for me. The industry as a whole is kinda crappy but I watch the podcast and joined patreon because of the two of you, not the industry. I hope you realize the positive impact that you have on others. Lots of love to you both.
Thank you Krista ❤🩹
May I add, what is great about the beauty world is the love and respect we get to witness every week with your relationships with each other and the honesty you give to us. We also love and respect you because you show us each, we how honest adults can work together with integrity and respect and then close the door when the day is done with your love very much intact. Bravo Boys . Keep it coming. You're both make us all proud.
Thank you so much. It means a lot ❤🩹
Hannah for the win…kindness is always appreciated and these guys always deserve it🥰🥰🥰
Girl F them all and make your own space in the world. What you and Kevin are making is amazing! Change your content and just have it be you and Kevin! Who cares! When you are both doing stuff together aand what you genuinely love it comes across so much more authentic. I love it and we all love it! You two are so genuin and a breath of fresh air in the beauty/content world.
Kevin the shoes??!! Phenomenal 10/10
Thanks bb!!!
We love this community ❤. You guys provide education, entertainment and honesty!!!! You genuinely have a love for beauty and its such a pleasure to watch. THANK YOU Johnny and Kevin.
I appreciate your vulnerability and honesty. Never easy. We love and support you
ADHD, melatonin disasters, social anxiety, sleep paralysis, magnesium supplements and not drinking water. OMG I can relate! (Despite being a 48yo woman 😂)
Kevin’s hair is gorge.
Johnny you rocked that beautiful eye look.
Keep doing what you’re doing. Your followers love your content and your personalities ❤
57:30 nothing is worth your integrity ✨️ we're so proud of you two!
💖💖💖
Johnny I get where you are coming from. But for everyone reading this, the light at the end of the tunnel is the joy you create for yourself.
As an elder millenial, i was focused on that grind and progress and ideals and I got disillusioned. But I have discovered that it's about pouring into my wellness, genuine connections, spirituality, health and things that bring me joy that is what makes life worth living. And pour into those who pour into you.
I love your authenticity; it's refreshing. And Johnny, our ADD is our superpower.
I just wanted to comment that the two of you are so appreciated. I respect your honesty, admire your talents, and enjoy your humor so much. The podcast and Beyond Bothered Patreon episodes are high spots of my week. Thank you both, and I'm looking forward to the day that Johnny can also resume his comedy episodes.
Thank you love 💕
As someone in a job that they love with a shitty boss, I appreciate the candid conversation. I'm going on my third month in retail with a skeleton crew. And it is rough. I'm the SM, so I'm 95% of the skeleton. Lol. To hear Kevin say....."There's no light at the end of the tunnel?," hit hard. I've been thinking about this a lot. To anyone else thinking this or feeling this, you are the light. You are the Divine in the everyday. YOU are the spectacular person that is here for a reason. The light may not be at a job you hate or love, or a partner you hate or love. The light can be you. As a witch, I believe that we are the divine. We're the beauty in the world, especially when we are trying to make it the best we can. Thank you Kevin and Johnny for helping be part of the light in these rough times.
I'm so glad you two have each other for support. There's no replacement for having someone in your life who *gets* it. And having a friend to help and listen and hold you accountable makes getting through the tough times so much more doable, in a way subscribers and PR and exclusive events never will.
I like living in Johnny’s world. I want more creators like this - who aren’t afraid to say that the glamour is a disguise, and the lip stain swatches are still on a pig. Beauty is a business, and there’s zero harm in staying grounded in that. What a blessing it is for all of us to be sharing this timeline and these moments with people like Johnny and Kevin. I think we are objectively all the better for it.
Careful with magnesium. It can effect your heart rate. I have Adhd, been off meds since the "Great Stimulant shortage". Having a steady routine is helping me so much. Mind over matter baby, We got this!!!
All of our electrolytes need to be in balance.
Salt, magnesium, potassium, otherwise it can effect our heart.
I am absolutely BEGGING for a hair breakdown the same way you two do it for makeup. I need the 101’s. Round brush this way for volume, that way for curl, etc. I know NOTHING about hair. I used to be the same way with makeup but I can confidently say I’m a certified baddie after listening since the very first episode. The difference in my old makeup vs current is NOTICEABLE and I need that for hair asap.
Matt loves hair has good hair tips. He mostly posts shorts though.
Yeah ... I'd appreciate this as well gents!!!
You’ve both changed more lives than you will ever know. And you did all that in the hardest years of your life. And that’s what makes you guys so special . Despite everything happening around you, you have built such a strong, loyal, positive community. You are both so appreciated and loved. The B&B family is riding till the wheels fall off baby ❤
The extended intro song just to get us in the edge of our seats 💅✨
As someone who worked in the beauty industry for (too many) years I completely understand the behind the scenes BS. Just keeping doing the things that you love and are passionate about and it will reward you in the best ways. Thank you both for B&B - it’s breath of fresh air!
You boys look SO pretty today! Here I am with my damp hair pulled back in a bun, a sheet mask on my face and a fatty latte in hand to listen to my favorite YT boys spill the tea.
Okay, you're speaking my language because I've spent over 30 years studying nutrition and nutrients. Magnesium Glycinate is the one Kevin is needing for better sleep. You may also want to look into GABA, and during high anxiety times, Valerian Root, which also helps with migraines. One caveat of Valerian Root though is that for some people ( like me) it results in extremely vivid dreams. It's entirely possible that the melatonin pills Johnny was talking about that gave hallucinations could've also contained Valerian Root.
My favourite part of Sunday! Thank you so much for always posting and putting in so much effort into creating content for us
I’m glad Hannah asked you both the questions I would’ve asked. Thanks for being honest and vulnerable it’s not just you guys I think some are in denial like the woman promoting coffee at the end of the world some are pressing on and some are just over it but we all feel the feeling of this current reality is not it and things are only getting worse
this podcast has the most articulate views and explanations of a creator's experience in the beauty industry. you guys deserve more recognition. both you and kevin are very insightful! so much so, that i'm actually mentioning your podcast in an essay of mine 😅
edit: this is an essay for college, if anyone is wondering the level
I’m editing my comment, but I’m so sorry to hear that this year has been trying Johnny. It’s terrible to have the shades come off and realize just how many people you thought were different actually have no problems being a cog in the system (Bretman Rock left for a reason). But I am glad that this podcast has been good for you, and I am so incredibly glad that we can give you back even a fraction of what you give to us. You built this. We wouldn’t even have this amazing space had you not taken the plunge on your own. We wouldn’t have Kevin on this podcast without you. You deserve so much, I promise, and anything we can do to make that happen for you or make it even a teensy bit better I know we will try our best to and support anything you personally need to do to make it happen for yourself. You always come before any content, always.
I hope December doesn’t suck too terribly. (And Kevin I am so sorry you couldn’t find the Christmas rat. I was really rooting for you.)
Oh hell yes, I’ve been wondering if we were going to get a little spilt tea before year’s end. Perfect way to spend my evening while stress organizing my apartment. Also, so with Johnny, I HATE the taste of water. I can’t even tell you what it is, it just makes me nauseated. I’ve had to supplement with iced herbal teas or infusions just to make it easier to drink. (Gonna look into the magnesium thing too, it sounds like it might be helpful. I didn’t know there were different ‘strains’ of it). And I had Johnny’s melatonin story but on Ambien, it’s a hard pass for me.
Also, I don’t know if it’s been said but I LOVE the jazz number intro/outro. It’s so SNL but it’s better ❤
Thank you love, appreciate your kind words ❤🩹
Just remember that the real world is sick of liars and fakes. Thank you both for being true. I hope the best is yet to come for the both of u, and u will heal from the recent year of pain. If I were a betting woman, I'd say the lessons ur learning right now are gearing u up for a very happy future.❤😊
Vote for Hannah having the best question ~ thank you both for your honesty ~ this is why I patiently (?) wait for every Sundays release of B&B!
Love you both the reactions to the calls fantastic ❤ 😂 Legit spit take on Kevin's Jacqueline Hill even her lipsticks were moldy😂
I think it’s so great Johnny that you have found this space with Kevin because we all love this pod, but you gotta know, that being you in the make up community, being that real, the fake people are, of course, going to react in the ways that you described. What you can’t let happen is that negative reaction that those people have to your authenticity (because they lack it), to stifle your glow because we need to see all of you - you can’t let them snuff that out simply because they can’t handle it!!! You got an amazing gift for comedy, but you’re also so genuine and that is not a liability to us! In fact, I think your ADD has probably made it possible for you to adapt your comedy to the TikTok format in a way that is so infectious. We love you we support you, keep giving it to us girl as long as it feels right
Johnny your eye makeup is EATING girl. ❤❤
Hearing Johnny and Kevin talk about everything at the end of the episode, just makes me want to like meet them and let them have another person to vent to.
Johnny I know EXACTLY how you feel, I have ADHD myself, and I have been struggling to do anything without my roommate/best friend beside me.
I have been so burnt out, struggling so hard just to keep up with everything, as Kevin put it “octopus with 8 arms keeping everything going”
I get home from work, and just crash. I can’t even bring myself to cook a meal.
You’re not alone Johnny and Kevin, you have people struggling with the same issues you have. We are here for you guys, and want to see you guys have all the success possible. It’s why I was a day one supporter on Patreon, I want you two to go as far as possible, and be there every step of the way.
6:57 Omg, Johnny, my daily to do list literally says things like, “drink water,” “brush teeth,” “eat lunch” because I will forget. And when I do hydrate, regular water is boring. Need Pellegrino.
Gotta love that ADHD!
I worked with a woman that had a post-it-note on her computer screen that said "Blink". 😂
Omg! The suggestion for practice - exactly! Find someone that has a similar eye shape that you do and follow those folks. Find eyeshadow looks you like and practice them - but trust yourself also - exactly as they said! Trust the process / finish the full look and then decide what you will do different last time - it took me years! ❤
Oh Johnny 😢 I just want to say thank u for everything u share and do for us. I to have had a hard year....alot of lessons and eye opening events...and this pod and u 2 really got me thru some hard days❤
Hang in there love ❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹
@beautifulandbothered naw thanks so much ur 2 sweet....big life changes made and I'm happier in my space in life than iv ever been.....but thanks for being there on the rough days
Thank you for keeping it honest. The world of beauty is better with ya'll in it and speaking truth! ❤
Thank you love ❤🩹
You guys are the best part of Sundays! You are loved and appreciated! ❤
Thank you!! 🥰
Favorite day of the week! Lol also my end of the year UA-cam recap told me I've watched every episode of this podcast for a total listen time of over 5000 minutes 😂😂😂
Yes!! UA-cam told me it was my top podcast listen for the year, too, and I thought to myself, of course it is because it’s the best pod 🫶🏼
OMG love the commitment
I found Johnny via his shorts, but it sent me here, that’s good enough for me. If he wants to make more, that’s fine, but if he doesn’t, that’s fine too. Nothing BUT love. 💜
❤❤❤
Hugs all around 🤗We value and appreciate you guys so much and want to see you both thriving and prospering. You. Are. So. Worth. It. ❤❤❤
❤🩹❤🩹
Love you both so much and how fearless you are in keeping it real and telling the truth. It is seen, felt and appreciated!! ❤❤
Not me waiting for Johnny to say "tired, corny, and played out" after Kevin saying "it's a little corny" when Johnny called it pillowtalk cosmetics 😂 On a serious note, adore you both and I can sympathize with having a bad year unfortunately. I hope you both are able to find more that you love about the beauty community soon, because it wouldn't be the same without both of you here. ❤
I already loved you two due to your sense of humor and the fact that I get 99% of your references lol, and I appreciate your honesty and skillsets. But that part around 56:00 made me respect you 1000x more ❤
😘😘
For reasons involving Storm Bert, which has dumped an unholy amount of rain on the UK, I am completely soaked through to the skin, muddy and cold. The podcast is as transformative to my mood as a hot shower. Thank you for putting the effort in every week to bring us fantastic content. You both look marvellous too.
EDIT: Listening to the end of this podcast - this level of authenticity and self awareness is what keeps me listening to the podcast. I was drawn in by the brilliance of the comedy shorts, but I stay for the humanity, the banter and for the B&B community.
Thank you so much love ❤
You two are the BEST!!❤❤❤❤
This was one of the hardest years of my life too and your podcast made me laugh and helped me get through it. I related so much to what Johnny said, I lost friends this year too and it can be so painful and nobody talks about it. Love you guys and hang in there! 💜
You both look amazing! I can't wait to hear the secrets, so excited
Johnny and Kevin, I have to thank you both. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you talk about all aspects of beauty : formula, marketing, makeup techniques, the good and the bad, both candidly and seriously, always giving thoughtful and genuine advice. Watching this podcast has reshaped my relationship with makeup, beauty and even my own health in general. I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for years. On top of that, going through hair loss right now, so I haven't been feeling too beautiful these past few months. You guys make me excited about beauty again and hopeful that, with proper care, I can feel beautiful inside and out again. Take care, both of you
Johnny and Kevin, I love you both so much. Thank you for making great content for us every week. Your podcast is the highlight of my week. And thank you so much for the magnesium recommendations. I am going order some right now before my ADHD brain completely forgets. And you both look great 💜
The look from J when Kevin said Charlotte Tilbury was priceless! 🤭🤌
Hey Johnny - as someone who has a hard time remembering to drink water, try some flavored water! The brand Sparkling Ice has dozens of flavored waters with little calories, and there's usually cheaper store brands that don't fizz like sparkling water (those are my personal favorites since I don't like fizzy water).
This week's podcast is paired with beer because I like it.
I have adhd and autism and EVERY TIME I get my blood tested I have low magnesium even though I supplement. MY doctor did say it was normal in her ADHD patients to see that so she started recommending most of her patients supplement for it since so many people aren’t diagnosed but have symptoms that get a little bit less once they start taking Magnesium .
I know yall really do go through the most all the time. I just wanted to get here and let you know that you guys really are such two amazing humans. I use catch phrases by you two. I say things that you guys say. I only try products yall recommend. I see things and think Johnny and Kevin would love this. I truly feel like you guys have let us know who you are and it makes this podcast feel like a family get together every week. You guys have given me a lot of confidence with makeup. I wear it more than I ever have and you guys have shown me that it’s okay. You guys are truly amazing. I love you both and I hope that if I get to meet you in person it just feels like a family reunion. You guys truly are a gift to us guys. Keep your chin up Kevin and Johnny and just know that this content saves gay men like me. And many other members of the alphabet mafia and under represented community’s also. Keep it up. We all love you.
Thank you, this means a lot 💋❤🩹
My favorite part of Sunday 🫶🏼❤️
Enjoy love!
Johnny and Kevin you two are a bright spot in a crappy world for your B&B family. You give us something to look forward to each week with your chaos, joking around and sassiness. We love getting to learn new things from you both as well as the small glimpses you give us into your lives. You two and the Welsh twins are literally the only beauty content I follow because I know I can trust what you say AND because you all truly care about your followers and treat us like a family. Thank you both for everything you do and all of the work you put into hanging out with your B&B family. Love to you both. 💝
It's Sunday, time to spend some time with my friends 💜
Yay friends!!
@beautifulandbothered awwwwww yay! We've been spending every Sunday together for almost a year now, so you two truly do feel like my friends 💜 and you can't hear it but I throw my own commentary in with your podcast every week 🤣
Love both of you and so happy you’re here doing this. You guys get me through every week- happy or sad! ❤
Yay!!! My favorite part of the day 🩷💜
Enjoy mama!
An episode idea: critiquing submitted makeup looks! Like a subscriber could send in a selfie of the makeup and ask what you would change or help on how to better something in it.
Love the pod. You two are like sitting with two friends in front of the fireplace and having a great time! Your podcast is such a delight and the beauty community really doesn't know what they're missing by treating you the way they do. You two are loved ❤❤
Best part of my Sunday, for sure.
Thank you for doing this every week!
A bright spot in my Sunday Dread!❤❤❤
When i was a young girl i remember thinking that lipstick never lasted long. So i thought, why not use nail polish on my lips?! Ummm.....the smell and the taste of nail polish and nail polish remover, girl😂. I think i was like 10/11 years old. Oy!
Sundays are my FAVOURITE days now… can’t wait 🎉🎉🎉
Enjoy love!
@50:26 It became a habit of mine to listen to your pod while catching up at work. Being a graphic designer of a company, they think you can get inspired and produce something right away. Kevin, your message here struck a chord. I was sketching something when you uttered those golden nuggets of wisdom. Thank you! For the last 4-5 weeks, I’m trying to balance personal and professional life and forget to check on myself (I’m saving and taking care of strays) and during my lunch breaks, I just looked at an album of one of my cats who passed on and just break down… then right after I get up and work and be the partner I’m expected to be. I’m going on a tangent here but I just wanted to say your tandem brings me happiness and now awareness of what I should not be doing on my rest day. I realize I’m not slacking off, they’re just putting me in so much pressure from multiple projects just because I’m getting shit done during my weekend.
Love you both!
Sending you love ❤🩹
OMG Kevin’s boots are STUNNING 🤩 love from Sydney
I am crying again you guys put yourselves out there. I look forward to Sunday so much. I am refreshing all day until your videos go up. Just know both of you bring so much joy to the community it may not always help, but you are loved.
Johnny your take on water is hilarious! “It just takes up space and is nothing”. Oh man whattttt!!!! I love water. Water is my favorite thing everrrrr.
i love you both so much!!! i also get teary eyed when asked how i’m really doing ❤ it’s when people take the time to ask me that question and really wanna know…❤
❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹
@@beautifulandbotheredit all works out ❤ i try to remember that u know ur goin the right way when u meet more obstacles….like when playing a video game 🍄
My Dad told me one morning, that he had a very bad nightmare, that he was stuck in a field with a very high ditch and no gate out. There was also a very big dragon after him. He would run to the furthest away ditch and start trying to crawl over it, the dragon would come after him and he would have to run to the opposite ditch. When he woke up, he had crawled over my mother in the bed. I just looked at my mother and asked what the hell were you dreaming of last night? Keep up the good work boys , love your podcast.
I love that you guys encourage people to play with makeup and develop their own sense of style. Also...................Kevin ............. those shoes, so cute.
I swear to all things holy, this is the only content that makes me burst into laughter. “ it was the ‘20s , things were different “ 😂
Those heels Kevin - yes yes yes yes ❤
I hear ya, guys. I hate drinking water unless it's ice cold. A friend got me a Stanley which helps tremendously. 🥤
I love you both.
Johnny, thank you for speaking up about 'The Wizard' and standing in truth. It's so incredibly important, and I truly love you for it. ❤
I love Johnny’s jacket and Kevin’s boots.
You are two of the most beautiful souls. This 60 year old lady finds some much joy when watching you both. I have subscribed to your Patron because I appreciate the honesty you bring to this space. Love you both, keep going.❤❤❤
Kevin, those boots are stunning! Y'all will be the Sol of the party 🤗
Hugs from this internet stranger ❤
Thank you for responding to my voicemail. Santa Clause figurine in TJ Maxx is me, I am him. ❤😂
Being diagnosed with add or adhd is such a big hit because u realise why u are how U r why u act how u do and that to manage it is the hardest thing simple things for ppl without adhd/add can feel almost impossible for ppl with adhd/add its alot to take in and even more to manage love you guys oh so much ❤❤❤❤
Aww, Johnny. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and struggle with your creativity. I've faced it too, It's a grieving process,. You have Kevin , the podcast and us. We love you and look forward to Sundays because of you two. Peace and love to you in your new direction, we'll be cheering you on. ❤
Important question: did Kevin get his Aldi xmas rat?? 😂
It's only in the UK 😥
..... do you have a PO Box? If so, Batman signal to B&B UK people 👀 ?
