Have Been Making Some Changes to CBOTW Media...

           The decisions that we have made has been good decisions:

No More Kick: I have gracially RETIRED from gaming streaming and regular casting sites to focus on the podcasts which we now have 3 running and I will talk about that tomorrow with the schedule being revamped moving forward with an even better schedule.

Entertainment Man Podcast: The beloved podcast makes a return to the airwaves after a month of being off for a shortened 7th season with it returning for an 8th season in January 2026. The podcast will remain on Audio ONLY moving forward.

Discord: Revamping everything and reviewing the rules of the server including our roles on there as well and how we continue to do things till I am happy so it's an on-going project at the moment. We've been dealing with a ton of spam on our server at the moment.

Website: The website has been updated numerous time and we are merely doing that till we are ready and at this moment we are on track for January 2026 of our 3rd podcast in our network that is being added. 

           Anyways those are the changes and I hope you have a great night and I will talk to you all in the morning for another blog post.

Fighting to get my Facebook Back!

           I continue to fight the good fight and try and get my account on Facebook back and if we remain banned then it is what it is. It is out of my hands and I found an email and i reached out but haven't heard anything back as of yet but fingers crossed but if it is not destined to get my account back to manage our page then it will be abandoned unless they delete it but we will see. 

            If not I am not totally sure if they will delete the page and there is no way to message everyone to follow me elsewhere but the matter of the fact is I am trying to get back where we once were at and if we were to get access to the page and my account including the old chrisbontheweb Instagram, I would keep the current one without the bots following that page whatsoever, I would actually remove that instagram so I can focus on our current CBOTWMedia. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will chat with you all tomorrow.

Sometimes Change Is Necessary!

             Sometimes change is necessary and with both Entertainment Man Podcast and The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps both out of the picture now which means more time for After Hours w/ Shane and Chris & The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies. Yeah, I've stopped the Reality TV Recaps yet it's clear as day in videos in my studio that it is still on our wall in our studio. That means nothing really... I mean there is one episode on the feed but that's it. I'm not going to say but that change was necessary as it was giving me problems like 2020, 2021 & 2022. 

            Entertainment Man Podcast, my pride and joy as the ideas were stale and also the trolls were putting me down calling me fat etc so I decided to just stop. Hey if it's not fun anymore then it is time to move on and exactly what I did. I am having a hay day with the TV and Movies with Larry and also with Bob. In fact, we will be recording a new episode Tuesday so that is very, very exciting stuff! Anyways thats the post, I need to get Corner Gas done and Hocus Pocus 1 & 2 done for this upcoming week's pocast recordings admist all the busy schedule this week and as always I will try and put out a post on Monday but if not Monday, Tuesday right through to Saturday.

Chris

Been on a Grind!

            I have found the time to work on The CBOTW Show more and more now with my other podcast wrapped up production after 5 years, 6 seasons and over 300 + episodes. Been able to work on both solo shows and shows with Larry and I and also Bob LeMent and I. However, I haven't actually messaged Bob for the next one and I will this week before the week is up so we can keep going on a role with things. I know there is so many moving parts when it comes to shows each and every week and there is going to be a lot of me on my own between Corner Gas and also Hocus Pocus as that is the plan for Larry and I by the end of the week. 

           So this week it will be quite a grind for me especially today and tomorrow. It was be a game changer for the podcast. I also plan on recording extra episodes in case for upcoming weeks that Corner Gas isn't on as it takes time to prepare, record and edit everything together. I will be working on the last Ghostwriter set of episodes for mid October to late October plus working on Halloween Movies and still deciding which one as of yet.  That will be on the Thursday slot when Larry and I aren't posting up anything. I know it sounds complicated and maybe once we record stuff, I will put a timetable on a post for you guys but that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Feeling the Good Positive Vibes with our Newsletter.

          Our newsletter has been doing very, very well. we have been keeping up with our analytics and honestly we need a specific time it goes out on Mondays. It is the best day to release the newsletter and the stats actually shows. Zoey as really done an fantastic job with the newsletters and very proud how far she's come with releasing it each and every week. She works closely with me so she knows exactly what transpires in the company and our community. 

          I know there isn't new people signed up and all we need to do is the PR work (Public Relations) end of it. Pretty much promote our Newsletter more and more and I have a few ideas I've thrown around to our Director of Operations and she agrees so stay tuned for that post to go up so we can continue to grow our newsletter list and the newsletter in general. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Website Re-Adjustments Continue...

         Archives are being reversed back to the old ways and we have deleted the 10th anniversary off our website and is no longer in the back end of the website at this point. Anyways we are eliminating anything that isn't necessary and our 10th was just about a year ago and our focus is on the content. That is the most important thing to us moving forward as content is key to our success and it has shown, look at the numbers for the month of September as we're over 100,000 views and it shows.

      Now we have moved "Archives" from the "Community" tab to the "Podcasts" tab. Why, you may ask and the reason behind it to fill a bit of a void as it looks bare and it is more fitting place for the archives that are now only focusing on archives for our former podcast shows. Small tidbit how this is possible and it is done with a table. It's amazing how simple coding can make things look really cool! Anyways, I just wanted to let you guys know of these major changes, even if it isn't really major but it is change. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

100k for the month of September! [Record Breaking!]

           History in the making! In the almost 11 years of operation, we have never had just over 100k (100,000) views on our website. It means, we have done things correctly and we continue to grow each and everyday and continue the grind together as a team. We've started to get a good rythm going and gotta keep going with that rythm moving forward. 

          We're also at 1.5 Million on our website and it's crazy to see this number and it is you guys we want to thank for the love and support you guys have given us over the years. I am not surprised by the massive growth on our website and yes we have some growing pains with shows being cancelled left and right but we are going to work with what we have with The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies then add in After Hours with Shane and Chris or Chris and Shane, that hasn't been confirmed yet but slowly growing.Anyways that is the post for right now and I have a second post coming out this afternoon and probably a video from here in our studio. 

Chris 

The CBOTW Show w/ Larry and I Beyond 2025

           I know there has been questions what the future of Ghostwriter is and we do not know. I know there has been questions when we will be back. It may not be till a year from now. I am sure I will be talking to Larry between the other projects that I am working on in the meantime but as for recording by end of October and that will be a wrap for Larry for a while. 

          Don't worry, we will be back in due time but I am not sure when and I am not going to pressure him or myself to getting back into things and this gives me a ton of time to work on seasons 2 & 3 and get ready for the next step of this. I know I sound like a broken record but we cannot rush things and the extra time will be good for me to work on things behind the scenes. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow and thank you, Zoey for covering for me last week while I was in the middle of a ton of chaos here. 

Chris

Grocery Store Simulator Quit

        The blog doesn't lie. Chris and I have indeed raged quit Grocery Store Simulator due to major lag on the video game and we do not know why but we gave up and we were so deep into the game, closing in to finishing everything up with the groceries and I'm sure we will pick it up in the future but right now I am helping him with creating the new Hockey Rink next to the current one. Even we're renovating the first arena and not sure if that one will be open in time but we have made it our priority to get it open first. We will be working on the lighting situation first then get the boards and ice back into place. 

        As of for Grocery Store who knows when him and I will bounce back right into it and maybe this weekend him and I will try and figure out the lag but we ended up putting the employees on a permanent vacation leaving the old Grocery Store quiet with the two of us. For now we will work on Minecraft and finish up any wanted projects that we need to complete. Thank you to Chris for the opportunity to blog and I will chat with you all soon, I'm sure. 💜

Chris & Larry are Back in The Saddle!

         Today is the biggest return of the Dynamic Duo of The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies, the two Founders of this podcast since 2018. That's right Chris & Larry are back in the saddle and the rest of the staff and you guys are very excited to see the two guys back in the saddle and interested in what shows and movies the two of them have planned out. I heard something through the Grapevine a 2nd Happy Gilmore 2 is in the works too. 

        I do not know the extent what is being recorded and what I said yesterday isn't all set in stone as of yet but whatever they record will be posted and some things may be pushed later so he will make sure it is organized in a folder when it comes to what needs to be released as October will be very chaotic as Chris is willing to co-host Survivor 49 Recaps which he's come up with a cool name.

 

Anyways, chat tomorrow 💜

New Development with the New Podcast!

        Chris has been talking to the team and sounds like he's made some more development to After Hours with Shane and Chris and he has now to also decide to add this to the list: 

- Dual Streams: YouTube & Twitch- Once our account is back online, the show will be on both platforms and he is actually going to run by the other half of the show. Very exciting to see the live shows being on both platforms.  

        Please remember that there is no ETA for the podcast starting but we just like to show off our progress and we know you want to know how things are progressing. Chat with you tomorrow.

 

Zoey 

Filling in for Boss Man This Week!

              I am filling in for boss man the entire week and I do not know why he's gone AWOL on the blog but he will be back when he's good and ready. This is the first blog and I have been a bit nervous writing my first ever post on this blog. Chris is so calm and confident and here am I feeling quite nervous what to talk about. 

         This week, I have a few updates about the new podcast to talk about on Chris' behalf as he's been exploring a lot of things possibly duel streaming to YouTube & Twitch which is a great idea, more the audience the better anyways more on that tomorrow and Wednesday Chris and I raged quit Grocery Store Simulator which was quite hilarious and wish we were streaming it. Thursday and Friday, I'm not sure as of yet. Chat with you at 1 pm EST ish, depending when I have a moment to write. 

 

Zoey, Director of Operations 

My Decisions Aren't Always Concrete!

            I know my decisions are always concrete, Durham Entertainment Today; The Entertainment Man Talk Show; Everything About Reality TV & Entertainment Man Podcast all suffered with my not so strategic business decisions. I've been in the media industry for almost 20 years now and I am still making the wrong decisions. However, I am learning to make right decisions and I've been thinking things clearly and introducing things slowly was the best strategic move for us. 

            I am always learning from the decisions but I have started to know what's working for us and not working. Yes I could of gone to the end of the year for Entertainment Man Podcast but 2 weeks later and I know it was the best decision for us as I did feel like it was getting stale, week after week and that is usually code for it's time to move on and do other shows, other projects. I am nowhere near done with this company and 11 years is on the horizon for us and almost 2 months away till we celebrate our 11th anniversary. So YES, my decisions aren't always concrete but I know it's for a good reason and I know and has worked in the long run for us also. Anyways that is the post for today, have a great weekend and as always talk to you all Monday! Hopefully will have more news for us!

Chris

Getting into a Rhythm!

               Things have been very funky since Entertainment Man Podcast went off the air and I should of waited till the end of the year to sign off and I feel bad. However life goes on, we move on with other projects and we have a great lineup coming to you guys in October. I will get into a rythm this time around and get everything back in a rythm. Just will take us a bit of time and we are slowly getting back on track. I already have a plan and still in discussing the new show at the moment. 

               I know changing over shows or podcasts is hard especially mentally. I have struggled with that in the last week almost 2 weeks now but now we are on pace to get things rolling. We kind of have a timeline with our schedules and slowly introducing one thing at a time. We have Corner Gas already on the go, next is my solo episode on Tuesday then get Larry and I's podcast back in motion. Then try and launch the sister feed for The CBOTW Show, the "Reality TV Recap" divison of The CBOTW Show. Finally After Show with Shane and Chris start in October, hopefully. Been promoting it a lot lately to my followers and what not. Anyways that is the post for now, I will be back in 2 hours with another post. 

Chris

Why do we have a lot of downtime?

            I know the lack of episodes and content compare to when we were on YouTube. However even if I am not at the computer I am always thinking one step ahead of the team and always thinking how we can improve and even post up some behind the scenes. The reason why we have so much downtime is because we are lacking in the content department. What Are we doing to rectify it?

--> Halton County Radial Museum; Videos, photos of my day out with my dad. 

--> South Simcoe Railway; Videos, photos of my day out with my dad. 

--> Try and do some occasional Saturday blogs if I find a ton of things to talk about.

--> Double up with The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies: I know Larry and I haven't started to record podcasts together yet. I will try and fill in on Thursdays if possible. 

           Trying to make things up and get back into a routine is important as we head into adding the new After Hours with Shane and Chris, hopefully October. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Terms of Use will be Updated!

            My entire team and I have spoken and have made a decision to review the Terms of Use on our website. I think it is time to review and go through everything and make sure there is the correct tweaks and I believe it will be my Director of Operations, Zoey will be running that meeting as I am only the CEO but right now there is other things we need to deal with so it is kind of at the bottom of our list at the moment.

           Obviously this has to be addressed and something that is really missing from our list of things to be completed and we have had a lot more downtime then anything else which I will talk about tomorrow but still getting work done and we just make a list of what we need to do and put it into a priority list. We will let you all know when the terms are done and what we are looking at is setting each Terms of Use so we will need to go through the entire current terms. One thing we are going to do is put the date it has been updated. We have had enough of the drama and our foot is down on this. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you tomorrow.

Chris

Breaking News with our Podcasts!

After Hours with Shane and Chris: Will be LIVE on YouTube on Fridays @ 7 pm EST, Episode posted on Sunday. There will be no shorts in regards to it, we haven't discussed that part of it.  More then likely it will happen to pump those who didn't hear the episode LIVE. More is coming soon, we promise!

A lot of breaking news we have and least this is a good start in the right direction and we just continue to grow from there. Anyways that is the post for today and as always, I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

After Hours with Shane & Chris [More Info]

             A lot of progress has been made with the show lately and I can say that it is becoming bigger and bigger as we continue on the journey and with a month away from production set to start with Season 1 on October 10th, 2025 which is the Friday of the long weekend of Canadian Thanksgiving and what a way to launch this BRAND NEW show to our amazing network. 

            We are on YouTube and I know that raises eyebrows after having to deal with teenagers causing issues with a... Nevermind, will not go into the negatives but Shane wants to make sure it is 18+ Show and that is what we are planning to do with the show. So are we posting the YouTube version to our website? The answer is No. Will be ultilizing Spotify Video to our website alone with Audio ONLY. We are only using YouTube for the Live Version of the podcast and we will be adding the Audio ONLY version of the podcast in the podcast tab as always. 

            Live Shows will be Fridays @ 7 pm EST and posted on Sundays @ 1 pm EST on the old time slot Entertainment Man once held for the last 5 years. This is something we have never done in well almost 10 years but we are returning to a LIVE Format and there will be no drama, disrespect whatsoever. Positivity is the only thing we will allow so please do not come into our chatroom trying to cause problems as my staff will ban you faster then you can say ticondaroga. Anyways positivity Chris, right? That is the post for today, rather long winded post and as always I will chat with you all tomorrow!

Orono Fair 2025!

             Today, I got to go to the Annual Orono Fair with my dad and is always an annual thing for us and I got one of our moderators Sheldon so hyped up, he's at the Orono Fair this evening which is so cool. Maybe next year he can come with my dad and I, or even if he wants to come to the Winter Fair that is most definitely a possibility but anything is possible. So much to see and do at the Orono Fair, they have a Tractor Pull on going and started like 200 pounds then by the time we left, it was at 9000 pounds which is insanely heavy if you ask me and a Minneapolis Moline was pulling it. Also arts and crafts with also local vendors and yes I took a picture of the Zamboni as it was parked in the middle of everything as this was in the rink next to the Fairgrounds.

      You have your basic fair food, I had a basic sausage was good especially with mustard. Anyways we looked at all the tractors and yes I did tally up everything and will do a post on Monday as I will be putting the stats together either tonight or tomorrow and will do a cool different graphs and stats for you guys that I will share. Saw the chickens, goose, ducks, roosters, boy their loud! I love the fuzzy head and feet ones in my own opinion. Saw cows,  Herford and Black Angus beef which is good for Steaks and hamburger meat. Also saw sheep as well as well as Pigs and piglets already growing up. Finally saw the more modern Tractors, plows, lawnmowers, small loaders, digger and much more. We got fudge for my mom and my dad got coasters for his car drink holders which look very cool. Anyways that is the post for today, enjoy your Sunday and as always I will talk to you all on Monday!

Chris

How Am I Feeling a Week Later?

             Almost a week later after Entertainment Man Podcast, I have had a rough week with getting use to not working on episodes, interviews and what not... Yeah, I had a lot of guilt, feeling down on myself, felt like a useless piece of you know what. That is just stage of loss, stage of change in your life:

1) Feeling lost, unsure what to do next;   That has been me all week in a very odd funk but I seem to have gotten out of it and has learned to move on. 

2) Feeling down, feeling out of the loop, not wanting to do anything. 

3) Acceptance: I feel like now that I have accepted the fate of the podcast ending and down the road it can be rebooted but not 100% sure it will be.

           So what I am trying to say is I am slowly coming around and acting a lot happier and excited for the next phase with ChrisBOnTheWeb Media. Anyways there will be a post later on for Orono so I will talk to you all then!

Mountain Burger Food Review

           Last week, I got to go to a new Burger joint called "Mountain Burger." It sure lives up to it's name because the Hot Dogs and Burger are thick and some are really big depending what you ask for but the Hot Dog is one size and I placed an image of my hot dog with Mustard and fried onions. The older gentleman was so amazing to my friends and I and the service was awesome.

           It did take a bit to cook but bigger portion does take time to cook and trust me the wait is worth it actually! Soo good and so many different items to choose from, such as Hot Dogs, Burgers in different ounces, you have Chicken Burgers, fish and chips, french fries, you name it. I give both the service and food well over a 10 out of ten, more like a 20 out of 10 as it exceed's my expectations, so juicy and yummy. Fries, my friend Terry shared his fries and very good french fries. Anyways I will be going back trying something new and I shared this blog post with them so thank you to them for reading in case you do and thank you for your wonderful hospitality. Anyways that is the first post for today, I will be back after I get back from the Fair with a post so I can chat about it but I will speak to you all later on today.

Chris

Discord Server is Fully Functional!

               Discord is back up and running and I know we've been through this song and dance so much in the last 5 years. Everything is set to what it use to look like back then but it is there and I am not as active as I was before but I do see messages while I am working on content. I know I have a lot more time on my hands to work on other content but not only that I have time to interact on the Discord with you guys. 

              Everything is the same minus we've added a Meeting Room 2 and CBOTW Studio as well to the entire thing and adding a Music channel so you guys can request music and the Lara Bot will play it for you so that is one of my next projects for the server moving forward. Entertainment Man Podcast has been archived, hidden and locked from anyone seeing it but it is still active as there is a possibility of it returning the future but I highly doubt it honestly. After Hours with Shane and Chris has been added and is hidden and locked from conversation till we're ready to go next month. Anyways anyone that wants join can join here: https://discord.gg/2ABDvq6aQs

Larry and I will be Back in 2 - 3 weeks!

              I know as it is now September, Larry is back online again short time this week as it's his first week back and YES he's in the Discord Server now and the community is fully built to our specifications. I will talk about it on a blog, I have lots of ideas and the next 3 days will be cruical for us, 2 today, 2 tomorrow and 2 Friday! So what is the call Larry and I made with RETURNING to Podcasting The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies. 

             So the Tuesday slot is currently empty and if I feel up to posting up an episode I will, however, I have made it clear originally that I would put the episodes on Tuesday in the meantime and I will as long as Larry and I aren't recording but with him and I not going to be starting for another 2 - 3 weeks maybe 4, I may as well move Corner Gas to Tuesdays on a permanent basis perhaps. Most likely, him and I will start posting episodes second week in October the Hocus Pocus movies for Halloween. We may record a couple of things for November, maybe one more set of episodes of Ghostwriter but we will see how things will go. We do not have a lot of time left together till he moves. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you this afternoon.

Chris

Website Changes Coming?

             With all these changes I have already been asked questions what is going to happen to the Entertainment Man Podcast Page, will it be archived on the website and the answer is YES, it will. When, I do not know. The Shows tab is currently very cluttered at the moment. I will get to it very soon but the changes are slowly. Also we've added Shane to our team for the all New After Hours with Shane & Chris which will be starting up in a couple of weeks. Just taking time to rest and focus on The CBOTW Show. It is still all raw to me right now. I will talk about it on Thursday or Friday.  The Page has been created here on the website and we will utilizing Archives.org again. Also the content schedule has been readjusted.

             The e-mail for After Hours with Shane & Chris has been created and I will need to send it to him so he can use it too between the two of us. As I mentioned Podcasts are now called Shows but this one is going to be in Podcast format. Spotify will have video and other platforms will have Audio and that is what I read up and by talking to their support staff. Anyways more information coming by the end of the week as I mentioned and as always talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Change is Good! (Saying Goodbye to My Podcast)

             It is an end of an ERA fior Entertainment Man Podcast. I've been doing this show for 5 years, 6 seasons, 313 episodes, I felt like the show has gone stale, same old, same old week after week, show after show. I honestly wasn't feeling it anymore. It was time to say goodbye to it and move on from it. Luckily I have The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies and After Hours with Shane and Chris which I will talk about more this week after I chat with Shane with more about this.

             However, as the saying "All Good Things Must Come to an end" and it totally true! I've felt like this the right time and do not worry, I will not bring it back, cancel, bring it back, cancel like I use to with one of my YouTube Series I did back in the day. I look forward to what's next and the new project is ramping up nicely and information is coming soon. There will be more this week but that is the post for today and as always I am going to talk to you all tomorrow.
