channel update.

[@limptwig2128]

I'm proud of you for getting through everything, love you bud

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

Even though I just recently joined this has been a fun ride. Hope to see more live action SpongeBob

[@matthewobrien6618]

I'm so sorry about all of the downsides of you moving somewhere else. But on the bright side, I'm sure that even though you're further away from the old cast members, you could always go and visit them or have them come to see you anytime at all. A lot of cast members for different things are far from each other all the time, so I believe your time filming with the others won't be done forever. I strongly believe that in 2023, your old and new friends will help you with anything. I give you and everyone else my best. :) :D

[@amandagardner4986]

Aww, I’m sorry to hear that you feel alone at times, and I do as well. Very much so. School was not always easy because I felt so small compared to everyone else, so different, and asking myself why don’t I fit in? It made me feel lonely, too. I still feel like that at times, where the thought of not having many friends kicks in. I also know what it’s like to have OCD and the need to have things go a certain way and when things don’t, it triggers a lot of anxiety. So I try to set lower expectations for myself, even though that it’s not super easy to accomplish. But thank you for all the SpongeBob videos you posted in the past! They all put a smile on my face and I laugh at the same comedic timing you all have to your characters, and I love all the editing, special effects, and work you put into them. I’ve introduced your channel to my brother and he’s also very impressed by your videos. As a Spongebob Fan myself, I gotta say, everything is exactly on point to the cartoon episodes! It helps me feel better about myself when things are difficult in my life.

[@emmafaye755]

I'm really sorry to hear you're going through such hard times. I can emphasize with having OCD on top of other mental health issues. Everything from your Spongebob videos to your original content has given me much needed happiness during a lot of difficult stuff. When I'm having anxiety, I go to your videos, they truly have helped me more than words could ever say and I thank you so much for that. Please don't feel bad about not getting F.U.N. up right away, life happens, your own needs matter more. Take as much time as you need getting it done. I'm also very interested to see whoever these new guys are on the channel👀👀. Whatever else you do going forward, I offer all my love and support. Take care🖤

[@DanielZ-nv2zg]

When the time comes for band geeks to be remade, I hope all former cast members return for that episode.

[@revaslatts4301]

Thanks for your update, Christian Jay

[@MarvelSonicFan04]

Glad that your giving some updates for what's going on

[@Ant-Man-dx4qf]

Congrats on your journey to becoming a filmmaker. I'm currently doing online classes at Full Sail University for filmmaking as well. Can't wait to see what new content you're gonna bring.

[@sporesisters]

Thanks for the update, sorry about Kaden! Take all the time you need with the SpongeBob videos. I also want to say that my dad and I absolutely adore your videos and watch every new SpongeBob together!

[@CosmicNebula444]

I'm so confused, what happened with Kaden? First he's talking about moving with him and filming a shoot, then all of a sudden it shifts to talking about him in the past tense and no longer supporting him, like did he die, did they have a falling out? I've rewatched the start of the video at least 3 times now and I feel like I missed something It's fine if Chris doesn't wanna specify but like I feel like I got whiplash from the tone shift

[@Bunny-dq9fi]

@@CosmicNebula444 there was a falling out

[@ChristianJay]

@@CosmicNebula444 to say there was a "falling out" is putting it lightly. The abrupt shift comes from a last second decision to cut out explicit mention of what happened. I figured it'd be best to try not to start drama. All I'm willing to say for now is that he crossed a major line and broke my trust. It was beyond selfish on his part and something that not even our prior years of friendship could salvage.

[@CosmicNebula444]

@Christian Jay Yikes, I'm so sorry to hear man. I respect the decision though, there's too much needless drama in the world as is. Just remember your mental health comes first, take all the time you need to get back into the flow of things 💚

[@ChristianJay]

@@CosmicNebula444 I appreciate it, brother. Your support means the world to me

[@Janglin123]

Thanks for the updates Christian. I can wait for your videos in 2023 and let's see how this year goes. 😊

[@madisonrocca7100]

We're all behind you. Stay strong! Just laugh like SpongeBob if you're feeling down lol.

[@RandomMeGahBe]

Prayers, my guy 🙏🏻♥️ Looking forward to more videos, when you feel ready & are finished completing them!

[@ballew722]

We love you, Christian! You're an awesome video creator. You also play a really good Spongebob.

[@laciemeadors6949]

It's good to hear from you again, and I hope things go well for you in school. Best of luck to you and your studies!

[@alexthelion998]

Happy New Year Christian Jay! 🎉🎊🎆

[@lukeroberts201]

Happy New Year’s Eve and day Christian. Just cannot wait for the day of band geeks episode for Christian Jay it’s amazing 🥲 for sure.

[@milgraududz]

Dang, i hope you're feeling bro. I've discovered your channel more recently because of the Spongebob remakes (what a surprising start lol), and even tho i LOVE them all, i always look foward for whatever you're bringing to the channel, since in my vision, you're one of the only KZbinrs that i genuinely enjoy the content. In this case, i just can say to keep doing what you love man, cuz as Jim Jinkins ( the creator of Doug) would say: "Even on the darkest times, you can take smth good out of it". Peace ✌️

[@ChristianJay]

Thanks for the heartwarming message. I really appreciate you being along for the ride. Still working on FUN when I can, and currently writing some more sketch comedy videos! Hope to deliver those here soon. I'll definitely keep that quote in mind. Thank you so much for your support 💛

[@jj01221]

Change is a hard thing, but we'll give 100% love and support for you future videos coming our way in this channel. Can't wait for them come.

[@missplayer30]

So, I was wondering. When will the FUN episode come out? What's your current progress so far?

[@Jay-gurl]

Ah, alright. I had wondered what happened to FUN given the sneak peek was dropped almost a year ago and kept wondering why it wasn't here yet. I knew life had changed a lot for you but school on top of that??? Good for you. I can understand being busy and finding that balance again. You live your best life Christian Jay. I know you have it in ya

[@moonymoonlight]

hey, i know i'm incredibly late, but i just want to say: take your time and do whatever you have to do for your mental health's sake. i know a lot of people love your spongebob videos, i do too, but please don't feel like you owe us anything. if it's too much to work on them, too hard, then you don't have to. i hope things are better now, though! good luck with everything ❤️❤️

[@TylerCaswell-kh6ny]

I hope you put the fun song online this year

[@carlytomassoboozlespongebo1076]

yay more spongebob!!

[@TylerCaswell-kh6ny]

When is the fun song and are you just doing the song or the full episode

[@PricelessProductions22]

My goal this year is to move to Denton to be closer to my kiddo so hopefully I can still be Squidward or something else for you in the future

[@DragnBoi65]

I'm proud of you for making such a big jump towards your future and I am sorry about the downsides that happened. We are right here with you and we support you.

[@speedyshadejay]

Good luck man. I long to be a voice actor and writer

[@jellyfishjay]

Let’s thank this dude of ho he makes his videos awesome! Happy New Years!

[@audracampos8132]

Miss you friend, wish got to say goodbye before you took off! Love the videos and I’m so proud to see how far you’ve gone without the past half year!

[@benjaminvance8142]

I’m a film student learning about producing and screenwriting. I am close to graduating. I’ve been asking my peers who will also graduate where they are going afterwards. Every single one of them said “I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m going to do with my life.” I too understand that lonely feeling after change or when it’s coming.

[@ChristianJay]

Whether it's alone or with friends you've been lucky enough to keep by your side, I wish you the best of luck on your filmmaking endeavors! Hope to see something from ya one day (:

[@ThatOneGem]

Extremely late to this, but I'm sorry to hear about the trouble... I'm glad to see that you're coping through though!

[@visiongamer5828]

Thanks for the update

[@tracelockwood3879]

I know what your going through really. I don't know what happened between with you and Kaden. But i had a friend once who Betrayed me. I even lost a dog too. I don't really watch youtube that much but i do care about you. Even though i don't know you. But i do love and care about you i wish i could give you a hug right now. You always bring s smile to my face.

[@tracelockwood3879]

A smile" stupid typo

[@prowolf633]

I’m hoping you do more Spongebob episodes again sometimes (thumbnail scared me)

[@ChristianJay]

don't worry, it'll happen. it may take longer but I'll still bring new SpongeBob remakes every once in awhile! Just gotta assemble a new crew out here in the new town (:

[@anthonytinaj7131]

I know I'm like 5 months late but i hope everything is going good with you so far this year. I just have a question about this kid who originally played Squidward. I think his name was Corben? No offense, but to me, he was the low-key star of the spongebob remakes. I was a little bummed that he wasn't in the Texas remake episode. I'm just curious why hes not playing Squidward anymore because he did a fantastic job. If its too personal to ask then feel free to disregard this comment

[@ChristianJay]

Nothing personal at all! Corban just moved for school up to New York City. Dude is a triple threat so it wouldn't surprise me if we see him in an actual Broadway show one of these days

[@TheNicsmom]

Hey, Mr Jay. Valentines Day Is Almost Here In The Weekdays So Can You And Your Friends Do Another Spongebob Episode Remake About Valentines Day?

[@trevorcolby532]

0:18 What did you make?

[@lukebickner6013]

It's always the same story with channels who did Spongebob in real life. They do a few episodes and then quit or move to other projects. And that's fine. You shoudn't do just one think, you need to try other things. And it would be stupid for 30+ year olds to do stuff like Spongebob. Even though I really enjoy those Spongebob videos. They fun to watch. Especially yours. From all of the Spongebob live action videos I seen, your's has the best acting. Anyway, this is not negative comment, I will support your other content, even if you quit doing Sponge stuff. So yeah, looking forward what you have to offer.

[@ChristianJay]

Still planning on doing it, but a lot of the Abilene crew won't be a part of it since I moved for school. Afterall, I still have the FUN episode in the editing bay. Just with everything that happened with Kaden, its been hard to work on it, but I've been managing to make some good progress lately! So fingers crossed we can see that by next month

[@lukebickner6013]

@@ChristianJay Looking forward to it. As I said not just Spongebob but other content too. You very talented. All of your videos are profesionaly made with great acting. I hope 2023 will be better year for us all.

No. They'll still happen, but the Abilene crew's final video will be the FUN remake im currently editing. So after that, it'll be a new cast.
