I hope Jenna is resting well and achieves her goal of being tall

Jokes on all of you, Jenna finally made it to her basketball game and it is currently tomorrow.

If we put aside the sadness of missing Jenna for a second, this is a really exciting time because we get to show Julien how fiercely loved he is. I think it’s gonna be a really beautiful thing to see.

Plot twist...Jenna is actually there she's just grew so tall that she doesn't fit in the frame anymore

Two years ago jenna made a jennacast and explained that julien wasn't doing so well, and said "i will be doing this alone just like julien would do for me" two years later he is doing it for her. I love them so much. I will support both till the very end! Love you jenna! Love you julien. Good job on you juliencast

The other J can stand for “Just” right now. The Just Julien Podcast is a million times better than no podcast.

Jenna leaving for a while broke me... the “dink dink” absolutely shattered me

-Julien Solocast -Julien Solomitacast -SoloMiCast -Julie does it Solo sounds inappropriate -Dadcast -Aries Speaks cast I posted these on his recent video but I thought of some more so I’m going to add them to this too -Julien Speaks Marbles Sleeps -Solo and Meebles -Julien and Friends ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉)

I’m ready for some dad stories while mom’s on vacation

that “dink dink” at the beginning hurt my heart

I want a Just Julien Podcast where he plays Shark Tank and tries to sell himself stuff.

Started crying at the “dink dink”. Julien - take care of yourself. You and Jena are angels. Your mental health matters. Her mental health matters. We love you and your Iggy and Marbles fam. 🖤

I love seeing this softer side to julien, he’s so unbelievably sweet and Jenna is lucky to have him as her person

I hope Julien doesn’t feel too much pressure to make these on his own. He’s allowed to take a break too💛 Edit: thank you guys for all the likes, dink fam forever x

i hope jenna is growing an inch a day and living her best 32 year old lady life

This comment section is so wholesome. I wish there was a J&J con where all the J&J fans could meet and hang out and talk about Kermit being a nasty boy.

The J&J podcast : Julien and Julia Robert podcast, but Julien doesn't know who she is and only brings up Sandra Bullock movies.

A while back julien made a video and in that video he said to marbles “thank you for taking care of Jenna” I want to take this moment and speak for everyone and say Julien thank you for taking care of our Jenna. We love you guys ❤️

Julien, Jesus Christ we love you. I love your love for Jenna, she was a part of growing up for me, and she introduced YOU. I love that you are worried about her, but I am also worried about you. This is a matter of both of your careers and I understand shit is rough right now, but please understand that I and we support you, as much as we have supported her, and the both of you. We love you. Thank you.

Julien’s vibe is just so chill and supportive that I could listen to him chat about anything, it’s just a nice reprieve from my anxiety.

i felt like crying when he said "dink dink" by himself :(

The podcast isn't the same without the star of the show: Mr. Marbles on his orange throne

Do a “Nasty or Not” podcast. People send in their stories of what their own “nasty” dogs(or kids lol), real and imagined; Julien has to guess if it’s nasty or not/real or made up.

I’m very glad that Jenna can rest up because she has a basketball tomorrow!

This podcast feels like when mom goes on vacation and dad has to take care of the kids by himself and he’s trying his best

note to self: don't settle for anything less than a julien

Jenna has been such a staple in my life. When everything is going haywire, I could always count on Jenna's vids being a highlight. A beacon of happiness. I hope she is getting rest and peace. She is sorely missed and the world is a whole lot dimmer without her light.

Julien, we love you and whether Jenna is here or taking a mental health pause, we will continue to love and support you. This is obviously such a difficult time for you both and as much as it breaks my heart, I hope that you both are able to come out of it stronger and happier. I also hope you know that if you want or need a break, we completely support you. You guys have gotten me through a really difficult time in my life (I used to watch your podcasts on the computers during school time in my inpatient unit) and been a safe haven for the dink fam to come and unwind for years. You both deserve to take some much earned mental health time to yourselves and to find the same thing you've given us for years. Your content will always be here for us, even if we just rewatch old videos, I will always laugh at your jokes and smile at your kindness no matter how many times I witness it. If posting these podcasts brings you joy, then I'm so happy we can continue to spend our Mondays with you. But if you evaluate it and realize that it's causing any sort of burden, then we will understand and support your breaks. Do what makes you happy julie, thanks for being such a warm presence on this platform.

when the world is in flames, kermit will still manage to step on a bee.

"kermit stepped on a bee" good to know that the saga of kermit having the worst luck continues

Things I didn't know I needed: Julien Solemita telling me everything's going to be okay. I have tears streaming down my face and I don't know where they came from. I hope someone or something jolts you two with a surprise dose of comfort like you just did for me, and soon. I admire Jenna's decision and I think a lot of people could learn a lot from her. Thank you both, for everything. I'm sticking around.

This reminded me of the Jennacast episode, that time that Julien was taking a break. The way these two support each other is honestly so amazing. The podcast is different when it's a solo, but still interesting to listen to.

This vibe is good. Juliencast has good vibe. I Miss jenna, but hope she’s doing alright.

Remember to water Jenna so she continues to grow

you should put Bunny in a wig and talk to her like shes Jenna no one would even know

This reminds me when Jenna did a Jennacast when Julien was having a hard time and now seeing "Juliencast" it just warms my heart how much y'all are there for each other. Sweet angels

Julien: doesn’t know why anyone wants advice from him. Me: All I’ve ever wanted is advice straight from Julien.

Put Kermit in Jenna’s place, we wouldn’t be mad. Miss you Jenna glad you’re taking the time you need.

I miss Jenna's face but more than anything I just hope she is ok. I'm a 37 yearrr old ladyy and I don't do twitch etc but I have watched Jenna from day one pretty much, I just hope with all my heart that that beautiful soul is ok. It is unreal the gap she has left on RU-vid. I hope she heals and I hope she is happy and I hope things happen how she wants them to happen. When she wants them to happen.

Julien,please do not ever underestimate that you are loved and appreciated just as much as Jenna. We all miss her,and her absence is felt deeply,but we respect and support her decision. We value you,your voice,and your content,and I am confident that you will continue to do it to 'em. Dink Dink!

The void Jenna left is real but Julien by himself is oddly relaxing and calming. Much love to the both of you!

It’s so... oddly comforting to know that Kermit is still doing THE MOST of the Kermit. 💚

2020 is too depressing for me can someone just cryogenically freeze me and thaw me when it’s over?

As much as this can be sad from a missing Jenna standpoint, this is a huge silver lining bc now we get a chance to know Julien more intimately than we did before outside of his normal channel stuff. Guys, this isn’t Julian REPLACING Jenna, no-this is juliens phase at the helm. However long this is, even if it’s forever, we get a chance to see Julien create new content and shape things on the channels in his image for a bit and that’s super exciting and fresh!! Don’t get me wrong, I love dog mom Jenna and I miss her lots, but talking about how much we miss her may only add more pressure and come across as guilt tripping. Let’s just be grateful that we have a Julen and buckle down for some new content that’s a mark of a new phase. In the time we’re in, lord knows we could use a little bit of something new. Love you Julien, and dink dink guys.

Remember when Jenna had a JennaCast for Julien a few years ago? I love to see a support relationship ☺️☺️

Julien 😩 I’m shook that you question the value of this “just 1 J” podcast. You are great! And just because we will be missing Jenna, doesn’t mean we don’t love you just as much 💙 these were some really rough and emotional questions. But hearing yr experiences make us feel less alone and it personally helped me in this exact moment. So thank you! Also I look forward to the Jenga & Julien Podcast!

I hope Jenna is with her plants right now, just growing together ❤️

still can’t believe he did a segway on himself! that’s like ultimate julen mode

1.) Every time Julien looks over to his left, where Jenna usually sits, my heart splinters a little. 2.) KERMIIIIIIT STAY AWAY FROM THE BEEEEEES 3.) The Juliencast is great, you're doing great Julien, please don't doubt yourself. Also your nails look A+ 4.) Please tell Jenna that we love her and hope that she's feeling even a little better, because she deserves all the happiness.

I feel like when julien is more calm should just read like a book it’d be so calming 😌 👁👄👁

I can't wait to hear about how Jenna's basketball game tomorrow went.

He looks so nervous to be by himself, hopefully he'll understand that people love him as much as Jenna. In fact I'm happy to see him,I needed some Aries energy).

I yelled at Julien when he segways into the AD since Jenna isn't there. Virgos gotta have eachother's backs.

Julien: “Postmates DOESNT just deliver pad thai, despite what you may think from what ive said” Postmates commercial: “pad Thai pad Thai pad Thai”

Julien: "They don't Just deliver Pad Thai" Me remembering every ad on YT over the past month, "When all you can Pad Thai is think about, Postmates.." Me: Are you sure?

Julie, please take care of yourself too. You're taking on the load of 2 people (truthfully more than 2 people), and I would hate to see you stressed and overwhelmed with the pressure of expectations. We want you to be happy and healthy, first and foremost. Even if that means we don't see you as often. Same goes for Jenna. Dink fam loves you guys 💕

“Actually, Kermit today stepped on a bee...” Right everyone, we’re back to business as usual!

Julien is one of those people who can be funny with others and funny by himself and that's SUCH a talent

18:00 I haven’t heard Julien’s response yet but my advice from one artist to another (and an extreme perfectionist) would be to create something with the intention of it being shitty. All those things you’re told not to do? Do it. Color theory? Never heard of it. Proportions? Nonexistent. My therapist had be write out “This is going to be the shittiest BLANK ever and that’s okay” and laminate it. I’ll then keep that with me whenever doing something I feel has to be perfect. I’m not the best at it, but giving yourself the permission to be shitty has really helped me.

It breaks my heart when Julien mentioned how Jenna thinks we expect updates from her. The only thing I expect Jenna to do is taking care of Jenna. She has taken care of me without knowing for years. I learned so much from her. Now I expect her to take care of herself. And whether that’s on RU-vid or offline, I am happy with that. Love you guys❤️

Julien really put the “solo” in “Solomita”

Just Julien** I feel like that's a name of a 90's Disney show

I big cried when I saw this podcast uploaded. I was going through a really rough time Monday and with everything going on I wasn't expecting a podcast to be uploaded. I watched it for the first time Tuesday night and I enjoyed it so much. Julien is so wonderful in the long unedited format and this podcast always has brought me so much joy. I've been watching the podcast since episode one nearly 6 years ago and Monday is something I always look forward to because of this podcast. Thank you for continuing the podcast by yourself for the time being. And thank you for being such an amazing person and taking such good care of Jenna. I love her and I love you so much. Dink fam forever

The “Dink, Dink” 🥺 we love Julien and will miss Jenna, all the love and good vibes to Jenna ❤️

Could we get a 2-3 minute update on each of the pups at the beginning of every podcast? A “pupdate,” if you will. 🐶🐶🐶🐶 Edit: Oh my goodness, you guys are the best! I really hope he sees this! Edit 2: Since this got so many likes I just wanted to include more possible ideas I have thought of. Just want to help him stay happy and feel supported and encouraged by all of us! I’m happy to make additions/corrections! Love all of you 💖 Idea(s): • Maybe call it the “Join Julien” podcast for now? Not erasing Jenna at all, just showing that we respect the change and her decision and to make them feel supported. • Ask listeners/commenters/members of the Dink Fam to send in their personally written short stories and read them (soothing to hear in your voice) - it can even be themed. Plus a great way to shout them out and help support them. • Just literally anything ASMR related, like cutting soap or painting (I could listen to Julien read the Declaration of Independence or ingredient list from a tube of toothpaste and feel relaxed) • Cook (like y’all did with the chili, just a simple one pot and put ingredients and instructions in the description so you are free to just talk) while giving us advice/stories from your childhood/best concerts/the story behind each of your tattoos • Amazon reviews - either your own personal ones from cooking/workout/food products or reading the funniest ones you’ve seen • Play apps like Episode • Play a drinking game (responsibly, of course) • Ariescast - just being violently and unapologetically yourself doing whatever you need for self-care

So obviously this is late, but for the person who talked about measuring their self-worth by their academic performance: I REALLY struggled with this when I was in college. It is incredibly tough to separate them when you’ve conflated them your whole life, but it is possible to do it. First off, I’ll say I’m not a therapist, a psychiatrist, or any sort of mental health professional; this is just what helped me on my personal journey. With that said, the thing that helped me most at first was shifting the focus of the sort of standard I held myself to from my letter grades to the effort I’d put into my work. Logically speaking, if I looked at an assignment and I got a B instead of an A, but I KNEW I’d done my best, that was the first step in letting go. I’d done all I could; I could literally give it no more without absolutely exhausting myself. The second thing that helped me was talking about it with my friends-peers who were also studying-openly about the fact that we were struggling with this. You’d be surprised how many people have this issue going on behind the scenes. If they’re high achievers, it might seem like their work is effortless, or that they aren’t that invested even though they do very well, but for the most part (there are some very rare exceptions; some people are just infuriatingly smart and can can finish 80 tasks in 5 seconds without blinking), people who have wildly good grades care about them-a LOT. Most people who have perfect grades in college are falling apart somewhere else-sleep, social life, mental health, etc.-and almost all conflate their grades and their self-worth. Recognizing that you’re not the only one fighting this fight is important and can help it feel like a more realistic fight, because you’ll come to find out that there isn’t some magical strategy that these people are employing that will suddenly help you do fabulously well without driving yourself into the ground. Do the best you can with your work, and look at that as the important thing. If you’re working hard and giving things your best effort without sacrificing your personal well-being, you’re doing all you can, and that’s what should be important, not the letter grade.

ur advice about motivation with art rly got me. not entirely the same situation, but i played soccer for 13 years n stopped when i moved high schools the beginning of senior year. my dad was always my coach but he’d been arrested the summer before because i finally came out about my sexual abuse, and the coach at the new school wouldn’t even let me try out for the team bc i “didn’t look in shape” all while in one of the worst periods of my eating disorder. it’s been 2 years since then in im still trying to figure out how to find that love for the sport again. it’s genuinely triggering when i try, but i loved it more than anything. this was long winded n unnecessary but thank u for saying wat u did. really fuckin needed to hear that

i feel like we’re having a day out bonding with our dad whilst our mum isn’t feeling well. many warm hugs and positive feelings to jenna and massive respect for you julien. love the both of you so so so much.

I know it seems weird without Jenna, but I'm honestly really happy and proud of Julien for continuing on his own. His vlogs, streams, and all his creative work has really grown on me throughout the years and I love seeing him do what he loves. I hope he sticks to it

Hahahh as a real old school long time viewer, seeing all this Just Julien stuff is so weird. But at the same time, so cool. Hell yea Ill hang out bud, lets do dis.

I had a dream I ran into Jenna at a friend's gathering and I just like gave her a big hug and told her everything would be okay. There wasn't a pandemic in my dream don't come for me 😂

Juliencasts are going to be so chaotic without Jenna keeping him on track.

Julien seems a little sad. But it’s hard to see someone you love hurting. I hope they feel better soon. I feel like julien really gives himself license to go crazy when Jenna is there to keep the Aries-ness in check.

Listening to you speak about literally anything cures my anxiety. You exude so much calm energy, it's awesome.

😢😢😢 I miss Jenna, I've been watching her since before she got Kermie:(

If Julien has a suit he likes to wear he could dress up like a news anchor while he podcasts. Every now and then he could cut to one of the dogs for the weather forecast.

Can we just take a moment to truly appreciate Julien? He’s just the best all around, he truly is supportive of everything Jenna does no matter what and constantly keeps smiling and keeping the good vibes amidst everything happening. It doesn’t go unnoticed ❤️ thank you

I've waited years to watch this episode. I'd been saving it for a day when I really needed a friend and today was that day. Thank you for all the years; this podcast helped me through some hard times and years later it still helps me tremendously ❤

We are here for you Julien! You both have brought so much happiness and laughter in to my life. I am so glad jenna has you in life to support her. I don't feel worried about her knowing she is with such a good person. I am sorry you guys are going through some stuff rn but on or off line you both are loved. I am happy to be here to support you with or without jenna. Even though I love you both so much I am so happy that jenna is getting a much needed break. You both are so wonderful and I hope with the difficulties that are happening in the world that you can be there for one another. You have proven to be a true partner in this dark hour and it brings me so much ease of mind that she will be okay with you there. I will always watch and be here for you both 💖

and in true Julien / Aries fashion, his chair is just slightly off center from the logo

This reminds me of when Julien was going through a tough time and took a week off the podcast and we had the Jennacast. Two precious humans taking care of their persons the best way the can.

The art advice is so nice as I really relate to that person, falling out of touch with a passion you were so into because of negative experiences effects many artists and well this is really nice to listen to as I take baby steps and doodle stuff for fun :) thanks julien

The haters are jealous. Jealous of your success in online entertainment...content...and all of it. Jealous of the pure love you and Jenna have for one another. Jealous of the success of you two have created that's given you the ability to buy a home and create ... and mostly they are jealous of your happiness. Please do not ever let small minded, lazy jealous people get into your head. I'm 69 years old and have gained wisdom from watching you and Jenna evolve in your life. I'm still evolving BECAUSE of what you have shown can be done, create and share. Your honesty and integrity can never be taken from you. Followers can stop following and advertisers can stop advertising. But you and Jenna are pure and good and honest. I appreciate and respect your honesty about being alone. Solitude feeds the soul. As you continue loving, encouraging , and cherishing Jenna. She will find her way ... with your loving cushion of support... I love your art, your cooking, your pups and most of all Jenna. ❤❤❤❤

Julien don't forget to take care of yourself too. This is a crazy heavy world we're in. If you need to take time with Jenna, we'll understand. I can't imagine the pressure you two have felt, nor you alone doing this. I love you both so much.

I hope Julien knows we love and care about him just as much as we do Jenna. It seems like he thinks we only care about him and his content when it’s paired with Jenna which, for me, is not true. Although I love Jenna, and I love them together, I love watching Julien by himself just as much!

as someone in high school right now, hearing that all this incredibly intense shit that is making life suck will be small in the future is very comforting and i want to say thank you

We will run the Jenna role in the podcast for you Julien. Thanks for continuing. We will shout “Julieeennnnahhh!” and say “thank you, sponsors,” and chide you for your transitions in our own homes and join you in a good, “mmmmmmmmDINK DINK.” Thanks for being here for us in a crazy transitional time. Being able to still see you means more than I feel like you could ever understand. All of the gratitude. 🙏

Julien: **finishes sponsors** Me: *~ * • t h a n k u s p o n s o r s• * ~*

Julien, can we sometime have a dadcast of you and Ben talking about dad things

Maybe Jenna lied to us and is going to a chiropractor to try to achieve her dream of being taller.

julien really talked about a lot of hard hitting topics in this podcast and a lot of us asking for advice during such a hard time in the world and he did it so well and I appreciate julien so much. also I love the dink fam and being apart of it its actually so wonderful

did anyone else hear Jenna's "thank you sponsors" in your head after Julien did the ad read?

I can’t even describe how comforting it is to see/hear Julien. I watched the Twitch video before this and it broke my heart that he thinks we don’t support him the way we support Jenna. I know one person isn’t much in the grand scheme of things, but I literally only joined Twitch to follow/subscribe as a way to show my support. So thankful he’s continuing the podcast for Dink fam ❤️ We appreciate and love you, Julen. Just as much as we appreciate and love Jenna. So happy you have each other through all of this.

I've been training university students this week on how to talk with school students online as they study from home, and we focus on the concepts of the SCARF method which ensures people feel safe and comfortable in situations. And Julien, dude, the way you answered a lot of these questions were absolute perfect examples of how to make people feel heard and safe. You're just lovely dude. Thanks for being you

Sending tons and tons of love to you both. You two restore my faith in humanity again and again.

me: sitting here in anxiety and depression Julien: would you like some serotonin today? me: ( ɵ̥̥ ˑ̫ ɵ̥̥)

I'm really sad about Jenna, but like evrytime Julen says she's offline, I imagine Jenna is a robot and just powered down somewhere, like a vacuum in the closet or something and it makes me laugh 😂

Thank you for continuing the podcast Julien. Personally, this podcast has always been a bright spot in my day, and I am so happy that you are able to continue this ray of positivity for so many of us. It might just be me, but I’m kinda excited for this solo podcast format for awhile, a change of pace and people like Jenna taking a break from the web is not a bad thing at all. I took a break for the past 2 weeks from all my social media and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. 😊

Julien!! 🥳 You may never see this in the sea of supportive comments, but I was so happy to see a new episode of the podcast. I knew it’d just be you, still excited to see it, and you’re doing an awesome job! Definitely here for whatever you feel game for bringing us. We love you and we’re here for you too, just want to make sure you know that deep down in your Aries soul. I’m so glad that you are finding ways to still create even though your person is going through it and figuring things out right now. (Tell the pack to attack her with tons of puppy love! Wishing nothing but the best for Jenna. 💗) Just wanted to throw my support your way Julien! And if anyone can host a solo podcast while playing an epic game of Jenga against themselves and still make it wildly entertaining, well my friend, you are uniquely qualified for that challenge. (FWIW, I vote you play against Peachy. That smart girl could totally be trained to pull out Jenga pieces, I just know it!) Glad the podcast is back and you’re finding your way - you got this!! 💜
