Podcast  

Video ideas that don't require leaving the house: - updated plant tour - making homemade dog treats - watching fave tiktoks - organize something & film it - bake bread - doggy obstacle course !!! - bunny & julien compilation - julien does Jenna's hair Idk guys just please stay safe and even though we don't wanna pressure you to make content we really appreciate the little break from all the chaos tbh

It is not insensitive to entertain when everyone is at home. That is EXACTLY what we need!

I'm a nurse in OR, working extra shifts because I have co workers that are self-isolating- thank you so much for continuing to create in these difficult times. I work 12 hr shifts and turn on your videos as soon as I get home to relax and rest before I gotta get back on the grind. You really do help me do my best to keep my patients safe. So thank you! I'll be watching your streams now too.

Ideas for new videos (social distancing edition): -Cooking from the Cabinet Competition (J vs J) -Leisurewear Fashion Show (with dogs as judges) -Trying Tik Tok Hairstyles -House Tour -Plant Tour #2 -Tik Tok review -Bunny update

As an ER nurse on the frontlines and fully consumed with Covid-19 day in and day out; I am PLEADING you to please continue to produce content. It is therapeutic and necessary for people like me that come to your channels as an escape from our realities and for a laugh. I appreciate you.

2010: jenna helped us trick people into thinking we're good looking. 2020: jenna and Julien help us navigate through a worldwide pandemic and lack of toilet paper. A decade changes a lot ❤

Straight up if y’all are gonna clean and organize while you’re stuck at home film it for one of your channels I would love to watch it.

"Julien is bunny's favourite person." JERRY SEINFELD IS SHOOK

I understand her point, but I would argue that Jenna is not a “clown” in the fabric of society. Shes an incredibly important and influential entertainer, regardless of how silly her content may be sometimes. She has more regard than a lot of A-list entertainers in my opinion.

I just hope Jenna and Julien remember that their content is a total relief from the Corona situation and that we love and need that comic relief totally unrelated to it.

I completely appreciate all the people in healthcare, but we also need to recognize all the people still showing up to their retail jobs. I’m in Idaho, and I’m getting rude looks and comments from customers who see me wearing gloves. Retail works are the reason why people are even able to panic buy or to reasonably stock up. So, shout out to my other retail workers who are forced to keep going to work.

I’m having a really hard time with being told things like “Follow the rules and social distance” because I can’t. I work for a grocery store and we’re more essential than ever, especially with the bars and restaurants closed in my state. I’m doing everything I can to keep me and my customers safe. But I have to be there.

Julien, posting videos is like what Michael does in The Office when he makes everyone play the murder mystery game to distract from the branch possibly closing. We appreciate it

How about a _plant update_ ? No need to leave the house, very relaxing

I can take a joke but there’s comedians who hide behind “you can’t take a joke” and use comedy to bully in times like this and make jokes. You guys are not that kind of personality. You entertain for a living and you’re goofy but you’re considerate and you’re giving people happiness and entertainment under a quarantine.

I have 4 autoimmune disorders and I had to run to the store with my elderly parents this week to get necessary items we ran out of. I appreciate the people who had gloves on and wore masks - they were helping to save our lives. Thank you for still making content. I think a lot of us wouldn’t know what to do without you guys to watch. 💚

Beyond anything else, I feel bad for kiddos in chaotic/abusive homes that no longer have school/church/etc to escape to for a little bit.

Finally I’m considered a ”responsible citizen” for staying at home in my pj’s playing video games all day. It’s hard work, but someone must do it. Humanity relies on me.

Honestly, in this scary time, the world needs more Jenna 32 year old laddddyy.

I’m a cashier in a grocery store, so I truly appreciate the light hearted and fun content y’all bring to the internet. This is one of the only positive things going on right now. When we’re sleep deprived and working up to 11 hour shifts, we really need our light at the end of the tunnel to stay lit! Thank you for being that light right now!❤️ I’ve watched people buy all the toilet paper they could use in a year while my mom asks if I can bring some home, but I can’t because it’s already gone. Just thank you for being you, and keep on doing what you do best!!!❤️❤️❤️

Idea: you can make an updated plant tour. Just talking about how each of your babies are growing and stuff, that would be super zen and calming.

Also just a reminder to everyone feeling like they aren’t using this time productively: it’s okay to relax! There’s a global pandemic on and we are overwhelmed with more information than ever before. Please do not punish yourself for taking time to just relax and exist for a while. ❤️

"Productive" ideas for this quarantine: -Learning to knit, crochet, or sew -Painting, drawing, scrapbooking -Start growing something to take care of while you have time -Begin learning a language (Duolingo helps but try other language sites that'll help establish a base and grammar rules. Tumblr has good language blogs that can recommend things) -Bake! Cook! Learn some cooking science! -Programming and coding are free to learn basics of online -Look into DIY stuff and home improvement -Learn more about cars! This could be very important later! -Make a google doc of research topics. Just compile them all together and bookmark the subjects so you have a big glorious document of research and fun -Catch up with friends, old teachers, and family. Or make some more friends online. -Clean! And learn more about cleaning! This could make life easier -Set up a routine if you don't have one already Take this opportunity to do what you've wanted to for a while. Or, if you want, binge these podcasts like I'm sure many of us are doing!

You can tell what a positive influence Jenna and Julien are when everyone in the comments and everyone who follows their videos is just supporting each other and being kind. I will always appreciate how considerate Jenna and Julien are and how they pass on that feeling to all of their followers ❤

In times like this we need... Jenna's Ratchet Beauty Salon.

“Don’t go out of your house if you don’t have to.” I’ve been training for this my whole life.

Although I can’t speak for everyone, I have to say that you two being yourselves and having a good time for us to share with you does not come across insensitive at all. It just gives us a sense of normalcy and I think it’s appreciated for everyone.

Imagine a world full of people with hearts like Jennas and Juliens

Jenna's like I WAS MADE FOR SELF QUARANTINE. Dogs, twitch, podcast, stay out of sun.

Honestly, only clicked on this because I needed to hear two people I truly respect have a conversation about this. I ABSOLUTELY appreciate you two for making a video on this.

Hear me out...Kermit's guide to washing your hands.

Tip from my friend in Beijing: write down everything you want to do but haven’t had time for. It’s ok if you don’t complete them, because this stress makes it hard to complete tasks. But at least you now have a list to pick and choose from if you need something to do.

Jenna please play EPISODE again, there's no need to leave the house and it's very entertaining

Jenna, things are scary and we’re all staying inside. Never have we been in greater need for wholesome hilarious videos - the kind we know and love you for. PLEASE keep making content!! We need it. 😔✊

Your guys’ podcast makes me feel so much better every week. My boyfriend of 6 years works on the front lines as a healthcare provider and we are currently living apart so he can continue helping people. Not being able to see him is really taking a toll on me, and you guys help. Thank you. ❤️

So yeah I got laid off due to the virus, lowered my insurance to liability that day and got hit yesterday by a driver with no insurance and my car is totalled oh and I'm out of toilet paper but the only thing I can control is how I handle hard times so I'm gonna make this hard time my bitch. Tale care out there

A message to all content creators: the world needs you. While I understand the odd feeling of uploading more lighthearted content in the midst of dark times, I for one need you as a break from the dread & anxiety coming from everywhere else. Please know that if you don’t continue to upload I understand, but that if it’s in you the world would really appreciate it. Stay safe everyone ❤️

Everyone’s stuck at home if anything now is the best time to be putting out funny content because everyone needs a laugh rn

When you're an introvert and planned on staying in and playing animal crossing the next two weeks anyways. Check on your extroverts people, its a trying time for them!

This is such an uncertain time for everyone and entertainment is much much needed... I’m a university student and I just lost my summer job due to the virus and i’m unsure i’ll be able to find anything at all. Being a student who has a lease for a house starting in May it’s safe to say my anxiety’s been through the roof! I’ve been watching so much RU-vid and Tik Tok to distract me as all I can do is stay in my house and wait... Love you guys keep making videos, podcasts, and streams, we need them!💙

NOW, JENNA, IS THE TIME FOR YOU TO UPLOAD AN ENTIRE MOVIE AND WE CAN WATCH IT TOGETHER! JUST LIKE YOU PROMISED 😭😭😭

As someone who struggles with depression, in times like these, I really appreciate 32 year old content of Jenna just trying random things and Julien chefing up something I could possibly try out. Because cooking and videos is my therapy. And of course my weekly Dink always makes my week less gloomy, even if you're discussing serious issues like COVID19. Please don't disappear

I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we need yours and Julien’s content now more than ever. Being stuck home can get us down, this content right here is like medicine.

I’m a nurse in NY and I appreciate all of your content. I appreciate you doing this video especially. Some people still don’t believe this illness even exists and aren’t taking appropriate precautions. This video raises awareness and we need that right now. NY, Cali, Washington, and a few other states are currently heavily impacted. All of our amazing states will unfortunately be heavily impacted soon unless we all take this seriously. This video helps people realize what’s occurring. Thank you for all you do, Jenna ❤️

Jenna, Julien, we need you the most now. We're stuck at home, it gets boring and also overwhelming, which messes with our mental health. Just the sound of your voices makes it a lot more bearable and brings me peace. Please Keep doing what you do. Please be safe. Hugs from Portugal

Even if I hadn’t listened to this podcast, I would’ve never blamed Jenna and Julien for being ignorant for posting videos during the pandemic. We need your content during this time of social distancing and isolation

my mom who is a nurse watched this with me and when she heard abt what julien said she seriously smiled so big, thank you ❤️

what i don't understand is the unnecessary censorship of the word coronavirus. like, wtf? that's not a slur, it's not sexual, it's not controversial, it's literally common news that everyone needs to be aware of.

I feel like people shouldn’t be worried about posting content during this time bc like WHAT ELSE ARE WE GUNNA DO DURING QUARANTINE!!!

i’m from Rome, the capital of italy. everyone here nationwide is in quarantine and not going out as much as possible, we are only allowed to go to work (only places that basically can’t close), shop for groceries and go to the pharmacy. EVERYONE EVERYWHERE needs to stay inside not because the virus is unbeatable but because there are not enough hospital beds for everyone. please stay home so that we can get over this quickly

Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein when she was isolating with friends during a volcano erupting

During the Great Depression, there was a huge boom in the entertainment industry, specifically in the genre of comedy. Humans need laughs even in the darkest of times. You guys are *chefs kiss*

Jenna and Julien, as someone who is a healthcare worker in a hospital and is on the frontlines of this awful scary time, your videos help me tremendously with my anxiety. When I’m heading to work I throw on your podcast and am instantly relaxed. You help so much and I thank you both. ❤️

We need your content now more than ever Jenna. Being insensitive would be making dumb skits or jokes about the virus. Making light hearted content to keep spirits high is not insensitive, it’s needed.

i just wanted to thank you both for acknowledging the people that work in the healthcare field. i’m not necessarily in that field but i do work in a group home, and i, like people in the healthcare field can’t stay home and self isolate, because the residents at the home i work at still need care, regardless of what the world is going through. and i know there are others who are in the same boat as me who would like to isolate and are also scared of being out in the world right now but have to continue working and providing care for others. so thank you both for acknowledging and empathizing with us. it means so much.

almost a year later and i miss THIS part of quarantine

It really sucks working in retail during times like this because I don’t have the choice to stay home I have to go to work and interact with hundreds of people who aren’t taking this seriously regularly.

PLEASE DONT STOP POSTING WE NEED SOME TYPE OF ENTERTAINMENT IN THIS TIME.

I am happy you guys posted this! Yesterday I had to pack down my apartment in France in a hurry and cancel the remaining of my study abroad which was very hard and sad. Just being able to listen to you guys make me happy even in this wierd time 😊 thank you for being so reflected and real 💕 stay safe everyone, and wash your hands ❤

Two things my generation(I’m 33) will remember in our senior years: the theme song to The Fresh Prince and this moment in time.

Jenna I think we would love to see you organize or do things in your house that you have been meaning to do but haven’t gotten around to. Just an idea for a video.

Please continue doing the “normal” silly content and not virus/sad content... I’m in the UK, my home country (Czech republic) closed borders and is under complete quarantine so i can’t go back to my family. My mom works in a hospital and she’s there nonstop while i’m alone in the UK and worry about her and my family. RU-vid makes me to stop think and worry about it, it’s my escape. The virus is all over the internet, it’s discussed in school, everybody talks about it and i had panic/anxiety attack today in school becauce i was just overwhelmed... Thank you J&J for everything you do, for some of us it means a lot!

Hi jenna and julen. I just really want to say thank you so much for continuing to post content during a scary time like this. School is my only escape from my abusive household, and the quarantine really hurts me every day. Your podcasts and individual content give me something to look forward to every week, and its given me lots of emotional stability. Thank you for talking about the situation too, its scary where I live. Love yall so much, and stay safe!!!

Please, please, please continue to post videos and podcasts! They’re so needed to lighten things up. I love watching your videos and listening to the podcast. I think that so many people are focused on the corona virus and you guys have been the perfect reprieve from all of it! Love you both ❤️

Impulsive buying also needs to end. If you're already struggling week to week, you can't afford to impulse buy. Therefore, buying all the toilet paper and stock piling when there isnt a need isn't fair to that person that really is on their last roll or needs to get groceries because they actually have no food. Be considerate and courteous. Alert not anxious, people!!

Marbles kinda looks like a phone is he okay?

I’ve always admired how kind and sensitive the both of you are to your viewers and the variety of things we may be going through. I can’t speak for anyone else, but for me your content is something that makes me smile when I’m feeling down. Now of all times, I know I could use a laugh and a way to escape. Thank you for your content!

I am a nursing student in Washington that is currently instructed to go back to clinicals as well as one day of class next week. This is a terrifying circumstance for me, especially since my brother is immunocompromised and I will not be able to come back home for a long time due to my potential exposure. I cant tell you both enough how much I always appreciate your sensitivity to all situations and how you act in them, however...we need you. Both of you. For humor and for your levity. Your bubble video happened right when I returned home and the uptick in cases happened near me and that was one of the only things that made me laugh and gave me some light in my day. Love you both and thank you for always being amazing.

Hey, a Washingtonian here. Times are CRAZY up here. I just want to reiterate: this virus may not be particularly severe on YOU. But please, PLEASE... be kind and conscious of the elderly and the immuno compromised. This is serious, and scary! Love thy neighbor. Just stay home!

wow marble has transformed into a smartphone... so proud of him

As an essential worker who has been going to work faithfully everyday through this entire situation and as a person who has lost a loved one to Covid-19, I needed you guys to help keep me sane. Thank you for being absolute goofballs so I can feel a little better about life.

Thank you so much for your insightful commentary. Others have mentioned it already, but an updated plant tour would be amazing and bring so much joy at a time like this!

Early on, Jenna was saying that she feels guilty for posting content that is funny and no different from the normal. I would just like to say that I truly feel for the families that are being directly affected by corona virus . These sorts of videos, though, are going to be an escape for a lot more people than just me. You guys are far from insensitive when posting online. You are keeping us sane. You have the ability to lighten a very dark time for us, even if it’s just 20 minutes at a time. Please don’t feel sorry for doing you’re jobs. We love you.

I reeeeally hope this whole situation teaches everyone how vulnerable we all are, that we are all in this together on this tiny planet with a fragile ecosystem. Perhaps we will all treasure our time with each other and our freedoms a wee bit more. Saying that, y'know what, laughter is the best medicine... not for coronavirus... but for everything else. Love to all y'all and stay safe. x

I really appreciate that you guys are doing what you're doing. I have asthma and I'm currently sick, with something that's probably Big Rona even though my doctor can't test me for it because there aren't enough tests, and it's been so hard to think about anything other than what is going on in my body (and with my elderly parents, and with our hospitals, and, and, and...). It's beyond incredible to watch your stuff and have a few minutes to myself every day where I don't have to think about how scared I am. Thank you so much.

I know I’ve just been rewatching all your videos because they’re really uplifting and fun, so literally anything that you normally do, just dog or chill or cooking or soap hand content is much appreciated. I know it’s hard for everyone but the content is so appreciated now

We need a sense of normalcy. Everyone’s lives are hectic right now. When I get on RU-vid I want to take a step back from being afraid. Thanks you guys 💕

I totally agree with Jenna about feeling blessed to be able to just stay at home with her best friend. My husband and I have barely left the house since the end of January. (we live in China). And coming up with creative ways to eat up our food has been fun. My favorite so far is my husband made vegetable chow mein (炒面） with taco seasoning. 😂 It was such a weird experience having those combined but delicious. Having no reason to leave the house and watching lots of movies and cuddling with our cats? Best stay cation ever.

You two are a great pass time for me right now and I really appreciate every video you post. I'm in retail with a very sick fiance and just having a distraction from the very real reality is perfect. What do I want from you? To have someone to hang with and laugh. The fact you have actually addressed the situation respectfully and acknowledged those who are struggling right now shows how amazing you are. Just keep being amazing ❤

Y’all don’t really understand how much your content is helping. I work in the meat department of a grocery store and literally everyday I come home exhausted and almost in tears because I’m scared and people are awful (our store has literally has the local police patrol the parking lot and undercover in the stores from six am to midnight bc stuff is so nuts) and seeing that y’all have posted brightens my day so much.

There's a bunch of info going around about great self care activities to do in quarantine/isolation - maybe a video about LEISURING! Peash, kerm, marble, bunns, Jenna and Julen all having an EPIC SPA DAY and eating cookies and shit

FROM ITALY: you are doing everthing right dont'feel sorry for anything you chose to do to help this situatiin. You are still in the right time frame to avoid what happened to us. And please continue to make contetn, we need it more than ever. It is nice to sing on the balconies with my neighbors but sometimes we need some alone time, and your content is there, there to keep our thoughts away from all the bad things. THANK YOU.

That beginning bit was one I really needed to hear. A couple days ago I came down with a pretty severe cough and sore throat, I'm currently living with my parents since I lost my job to this virus, but when I let my parents know I would be distancing from them even in our house hold they both got very angry with me(I'm a 24 year old independent). It really hurt my heart since my dad is a diabetic and I'm trying to protect him. Thank you for reminding me that we have to play our part to keep our loved ones safe, even if they dont understand that.

Please keep posting videos. Your dog blanket video made me genuinely smile for the first time in days. The joy you bring to the world is such a virtue. If you are personally well and mentally up to it, I’d love to see you continue to share your creativity and positive disposition with the world :)

Literally said to my husband the other day, “I need my youtubers to come through these new few weeks!” Y’all we want even MORE content from you right now! I work retail & my store is closed for at least 2 weeks. I live in Chicago. I will basically be walking my dog & watching RU-vid for at least 2 weeks. We love you guys. Keep posting.

Y'all basically covered this, but figured I'd agree: As entertainers it's definitely okay to provide levity and escape from the current situation. People don't want to think about their situations 24/7, I don't think the human brain can handle that level of constant anxiety and stress. Y'all keep being great people and stay safe and healthy! Thank you guys.

This is exactly what I needed right now. I appreciate how serious you guys are taking this compared to other people. I live in Canada and it's getting very hectic and it's making everyone feel helpless. But you guys talking all this out and spreading empathy through your words really helps 💕 you guys just get it

I love the mood you've both been giving: baking bread, showing vids of your dogs. Right now, I feel like I'm spiraling. Your videos give my brain a moment of peace in an uncertain world. Thank you!!!

Me, a whole ass mom listening to Jenna and Julien’s podcast: Y’all better listen to mom and dad!

We moved to a new country, my husband deployed, I'm home schooling my kids on quarantine, and the entire downstairs of my house flooded last night. Going through it haha Please dont stop making content, it makes my day.

So I work at target and I’ve seen firsthand the panic and how incredibly scared everyone is but I’ve also seen how selfish people are becoming, so it’s definitely nice and refreshing to hear healthy perspectives being thrown out into the fire☺️ thank god for you both and your positivity you preach so beautifully ❤️

I can tell you both right now, your light and friendship brings such joy. Please don't stop posting. Do whatever you guys want, but stay with us. We need joy, love, light, and laughter. We need reminders and distractions to help us through this together. Thank you for everything you do! We love ya!

Yeah please don’t stop uploading. Uploading content isn’t insensitive. It’s generous. Just like the nurses and doctors are providing care, you’re all providing distraction and humour when we need it. If I didn’t have podcasts/videos/TikToks to keep me occupied I would focus on the gloom and become very anxious and sad.

Jenna I think the PERFECTTT thing to take our minds off of this whole thing is a little jenna’s ratchet salon. That hair is longgggggg girl 🙃😂❤️

This was honestly the first time I felt okay since this nightmare started. The way you talked about the situation, the way you were so open and understanding and genuine made me feel at ease. Yes, things are very bad right now and we must take the most effective preventative measures we can. Yes, we have to take this pandemic seriously and keep a close eye on the news all around the world. But we also need to protect our sanity by having a familiarity in our lives. For that we need you guys. We need your content. We need to get out of the terrifying reality, give our mind, body and soul a break. We are able to recharge ourselves and find the strength to keep going on because of wonderful people like you. Thank you so much for being here and making our days a bit better.

To Jenna, Julien, and everyone else who might see this comment, I want to let you know that although social distancing seems weird and uncomfortable to all of you, it will get better. I was at my hometown in China when the virus outbreak first occurred at the end of Jan. It happened around the time of Chinese New Year, which equals to Christmas to most of you. Many people have planned to travel or go back to their hometown to have a relaxing vacation at that time, but it suddenly hit, so they had to cancel all plans. Some even didn't have the chance to have a family reunion during the CNY. But it worked. Just as Jenna said, such once in a lifetime experience (hopefully) is a great opportunity for us to do things we normally won't do, such as learn new things or just chill at home. This is tough but please believe that we can and will go through this together when we all do our parts. ❤️

Jenna and Julien, You probably won’t see this and that’s okay, I’m still going to share it just in case. Your content during even the beginning stages of this pandemic has absolutely kept me sane. I cannot see either of my grandmas in the nursing home. One has Alzheimer’s and might not even remember me after this. I have even started showing symptoms and my state is only doing 20 tests a day. They recommend not even coming in to get tested unless you are in really bad shape. My brother lives a few hours away and is worried he shouldn’t come home on the weekends or during spring break as a lot of our loved ones are in that higher risk bracket. Please, for as long as you feel it’s okay, please keep posting content. I need the world to not be a total dumpster fire. PS: Definitely make your own bread. Homemade bread is delicious. Cannot recommend it enough.

My college closed down, obviously, and it’s made me depressed. School is my favorite part of my life right now, and it’s something I’ve looked forward to doing for a while. It’s weird not having the social interaction that comes with it. Idk. It’s just made me very sad.

Thank you guys for making this video. This isolating/quarantine is really hard, I live in a small house with a lot of people and sleep on the couch, it’s been that way for 5 years, so I try to get out as much as I can to keep myself sane. But since I can’t do that anymore, and my boyfriend is gone, it’s really really nice to watch you guys and not feel as lonely in this time.

I just want to give a quick shout out to my fellow homies working in the food (or otherwise) service industry, being paid min wage for a company that cares more abt money than our safety as employees. I appreciate you, I am sorry that you are having to continue working in a cramped kitchen, deliver to customers, etc, through all of this. Stay safe and remember that you dont owe your big company shit. if you feel unsafe, don;t feel any guilt abt calling out of work or taking extra precautions your employer claims are "unnecessary."
