This Weekend Will be Busy!

           This weekend will be a busy one for us as we will be editing so much ti is just unreal how much content we have to edit, put together and have ready at the helm for November, December and January. I am also working on the shorts/reels for the episodes and one of the episodes doesn't have video as I carelessly erased the entire video version of the podcast so now I have 3 episodes video and 1 without but what can you do and at least I have an actual audio only.

           So we hope to complete all of those as next week I want to tackle the website stuf that needs to be done. Either way we will continue to get all of the things completed in a timely fashion but first is all the podcasts are to be done and today will be recording the podcast for Sunday and the first and important thing after I get the Motivational Fridays done. Anyways that is today's post and as always I will talk to you all on Monday, have a great weekend! 

Happy Halloween!

Last Day of Recording with Larry for a while!

            Today marks our last day in the studio together recording a podcast together till after he moves away up north which our studio will be very, very quiet without him present with laughter and jokes. I'm sure I may see him one more time before and maybe a lunch, I do not know but if not we will make the best out of our last day not just recording but hanging out.  I am not sure what 2 weeks tomorrow brings so we are acting like it is our last. 

             I will make sure to capture on camera a lot of things that we do throughout the day and post it over the weekend for you guys plus this weekend will be a busy one but will talk tomorrow about that. However we will have video footage and pictures to share this weekend and it will be a busy weekend with content on our social medias. Anyways we will make it a great day together and capture the moment the final time we meet and say so long for now but remember what I said anything is possible for the start of November but that will be the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Gaming Updates....

            Well I will start with the bad news... I am done with Grocery Store Simulator...  The lag is unreal and unplayable so I am moving and big shoutout to our new fans who is a mod for us on stream has helped us out greatly with Super Market Simulator and we are getting closer to being debt free and I am going to actually grind this weekend on the game see if I can get this debt down to bare minimum. 

           Minecraft: I am currently working on the bowl of the actual new rink and also been working on the lights on the other rink so I am kind of back and forth between the two but I do want to finish the main rink. However I hit a bit of a bump in the road and have lowered the ice so that is the work in progress and I worked on it this morning before working on other things in preparation for the Corner Gas podcast this morning with Bob. Anyways that is the blog for today and as always talk tomorrow!

Ganster Cheese-- Gangster Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese!

              Last week, I was on a bit of a journey up to Uxbridge, Ontario to see what was going on with the trains from the former York-Durham Railway and go for a long 45 minute walk out on the abandoned railway portion which the tracks have been pulled up a long time ago. Was a nice walk and I actually got a good amount of steps in when it came to the walk.

             Afterwards we went to Gangster Cheese for a Grilled Cheese sandwich but completely different from what we are mostly use to. I have a Cheeseburger Grilled cheeseburger with hamburger meet aka Beef with fries. The sandwich was delicious and it actually works with ground beef that was in there. I really enjoyed the sandwich and the fries were perfect, crispy and lightly salted as too much salt on fries isn't very appetizing but these were done just perfect. The staff were super friendly and helpful and our food came to us in a timely matter. We will be back in the very nearby future. That is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Been working on website stuff!

              I have been dabbling with the website a tiny bit and it will be done next week once all the podcasts pages will be worked on and we will get all the players but as I said it may take us a while to work on all of this so please do be patient. We will keep the current players on the episodes till we reach that particular point of working on it. However this may take weeks maybe month or so perhaps. It is hard to tell but been dabbling around with the site trying out new things including layouts and what not. 

           I haven't posted the changes but just been working around on things and that's OK if I am doing that but letting you guys know I have been dabbling around the site so you may see a couple of changes and there will be more coming but one step at a time. This week is catching up on episodes recording and editing then next week we go into the next phase of things. But anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Just For Halibut Review!

           I was up north for Saturday and part of Sunday at my aunt and uncles and we went into Bobcaygen to a little fish place called Just for Halibut and here is my review: I had the Halibut and chips with coleslaw on the side was delicious the fish crispy and good fries also crispy and good. The server Sara was amazing, so friendly and positive! Will be back next time my parents and i are up.

          That is what I said about the resturant and it was truly an amazing and the fish itself I thought they were regular pieces but they were pretty massive but either way sooo good. Love the French Fries aka the chips were crispy and good. Yeah I didn't fish everything up but still it was such a wonderful evening out for dinner with the family. Will be back in the future might try the pickerel or even the white fish. I have my list of meals on my list. Anyways that is post 1 of 2 for today to make up for last week's lack of posts and I will talk to you all tonight @ 6 pm EST.

Entertainment Man Podcast Chat...

            I know the episodes aren't doing well and it will take time for the podcast rebound as a lot of the views came from YouTube. I know and realize there was a petition out there for the podcast to go to video and perhaps, perhaps if it went video then things would most definitely change in the way of views maybe. I will be trying that this week for the first time since end of August 2025 Spotify video for this podcast will happen.

          I am all for trying it out and seeing what works and what doesn't work and this is something that works for the show. I do not want to make that decision to cancel it after this year and it goes away and not make a return to air whatsoever but not going to give up so easily but that is the post for today, enjoy the double podcast this afternoon and tonight and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Time for some Updates!

            The last 24 hours or so has been let's just say interesting. There is a bunch of questions that came in through our email and here is some answers:

No CEO? Will there be another one appointed? The answer is NO.  Right now we have promoted Kevin to the Director of Operations and helps run the day to day. He's online a lot and is perfect for this job. I have an assistant, Sadie that helps me with the content back end of things, including the website too! 

After Hours with Shane and Chris Update? We are officially putting this show as a talk show and I have a new lapel mic as I keep losing the other one and find it and it is a rotating door with me actually.

We Need Your Opinion: how do we make this community feel welcome and treat everyone with love and respect? Let us know in the comments or by emailing us cbotwbiz@gmail.com

Newsletter- Who is going to be doing the Newsletters? Sadie my assistant will relay any news that we have from the company as she's an assistant in the company.

Blogs? I will for the most part doing the blogs unless Sadie decides to get involved but for right now it is me that is going to be doing blogs Monday - Friday and sometimes Saturdays.

         There is all the answers and we do not have answers for everything right now but we are taking baby steps to assuring this never happens again in the future. That is the post for now, I will speak to you guys at 11 am EST for another blog post.

Bowmanville Apple Festival 2025!

             Saturday back on the weekend, my parents and I went to the Bowmanville Apple Festival. We had a hard time finding some parking but we did find some after all which was really good news. I felt like it was the last year I would do the events in Bowmanville but we have a plan for 2026 when it comes to the two events moving forward. Anyways it was packed and I really love the fact it is a very packed event. 

           So many different vendors locally, Algoma Orchards, had a lot of Apples being sold of course Honey, Maple Syrup which we tried some and even we tried mini Apple Muffins which was awesome and I want to try making some here at home and I will let you all know how it goes when and if I do that. We also discovered a market that also has a cafe at the front and the market at the back with a ton of things to buy. I also tried Radish seed greens and it was strong and I coughed a bit but got it down. Also tried a dry rub for meat and had garlic and pepper taste and it was also good. We enjoyed the event and I look forward to the Royal Winter Fair next month and I will speak you all soon.

Halton County Radial Museum Story

       I know I haven't been the best with actually posting up here and there but I am still here and post from time to time but mostly the new CEO posts but that's not what I wanted to talk about. Back on Sunday I was at Halton and nothing really to report but got some tidbits what was going on but not my place to actually say but we were head back to the main station hub where we get all the streetcar and what did we see? A Porcupine! Of all things.

               I have never seen one in person before but mind you we were in the streetcar, # 4611 a PCC Streetcar and I was filming which was great and I hope the video works on here but I was lucky I had the camera actually rolling. This is why the vlogging camera should of been with me since the other camera is out of commission due to the zoom isn't working but was a cool story I had to share and I hope you guys enjoy it and I will talk to you all soon.

Podcast Pages Players back to it's Original Player!

           This is in preparation mode as we are seeing what we need to switch back to the old players and if I remember off the top of my head Everything About Reality TV & Power Rangers Collaboration which is in our Archives have the old players already placed on the page but we will check when we start adding back in the old players. We may have to upload some episodes or a bunch of them as we did take a break from that player but that's OK though. 

          We will explore everything and see what needs to be completed and it will be released at the same time once it has been completed. If you see some pages that are already done don't be alarmed, we will announce once all the work is completed. This shouldn't take too, too long honestly.  Once I get started in replacing the players, I should get into a good rhythm and it will be completed quickly but I need to work on some things first for next week or so, please be patient but that will be it for the second blog. I'm sorry no blog yesterday, was out of town and no time to write anything and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

After Hours a New Talk Show Since 2016?

             For the first time in almost 10 years, ChrisBOnTheWeb Media has it's first talk show since The Entertainment Man Talk Show. Yeah it's quite a gap between and as you know we have been busy with the podcasts in general, blogs, events and even streaming as well. I am excited to say this is history in the making and it was only the matter of time that something like this would actually happen. 

            Now I have been testing two platforms, however I think I am going to stick to the one platform, YouTube. I think it is just best to keep it simple and easy and leave Kick for streaming, so I am figuring things out on stuff and I think I know what I will be doing. There will be achives in case YouTube pulls us down and we will be sure that never happens. Anyways you of course can listen to the show after it airs on the YouTube Channel and also on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com, just our website there will be no chat on our website, you will need to have a Google account but we haven't gotten that far into it but YouTube is the primary focus. Anyways that is the post for now, there will be one more @ 11 am EST on top of the other blogs before the podcasts come right out for you guys but I will speak to you then.

More Major Work to be done!

              I know, I know! More work to the website? Just to the podcast pages for the following Podcasts: "Entertainment Man Podcast" "The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies" & "The CBOTW Show- Reality TV" all need the old audio player we once had at some point. However the Discord server is finished finally and I am very happy and content with the way the server is so now I can move on to other projects and as always please report any bugs on our server if there is any and I will check the issue at hand. 

              The other work that needs to be done besides Ghostwriter is Hocus Pocus movies for next week to record hoping Larry is healthy again as he's been sick quite a bit lately and I need to make sure my co-host is healthy to record. Also will be working Thursdays two episodes along with Entertainment Man Podcast as it's a rainy day here in Ontario so I am in my studio majority of the day may step out in the afternoon to spend time with my parents but we will see. If I have time by the end of the week, I will even work on Corner Gas editing, Ghostwriter editing and by golly even work on Building Bridges. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

South Simcoe Railway 2025!

        It was that time of the year once again for the annual trip to South Simcoe Railway with my dad. Now I am not 100% sure but I do not remember going last year but I think we did but it is just hard to remember so far back, a year ago when and if we were there but it was different for us as we had to wait like 3 - 4 hours for our train ride as they were booked up on the 1030 am & 1 pm EST trains so we were hovering around town for several hours and mind you, I had my blue t shirt and jean shorts on and it was hotter then you know where. 

      

       Anyways, I made due with the clothes I was wearing and we had a fantastic time. 1948 Diesel Locomotive #703 pulled and pushed us. I never knew about this diesel that it was originally a shunter diesel hence the flat back end and I know this seeing CPR and CN in the yard at our GO Train station here. So I got a but more history. Also I was near the rope by the shop where they are working on the two steam engines, # 1057 and 136, the door was open and what do we see? 136 in the flesh. Boiler door open, ready and they have been very active with fixing it up and looks like they've been cleaning it too and keeping it in good shape so my dad and I are hopeful for it to return to service soon. 1057 is awaiting restoration and work to be done at this time. Anyways that is the blog post for today, as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Not Doing Seasons/Episodes on The CBOTW Show for Now....

            I have literally given up on doing seasons and episodes and it is easy for us to do that but we may down the road add in the episode #'s when it comes but seasons it isn't really possible to do but I think it's best to leave it blank but I want you guys to know how many episodes we have done, I don't know because right now I am rambling at this point and completely not able to cohearently talk like a normal human being but at this point I see no reason to do it at this point hence it has been since left empty.

             I somehow think I ended up putting the same number so it doesn't seem to add it to the amount of episodes and plus we schedule the posts way ahead of schedule and kind of the format we want to do technically. Anyways for now I will leave it as it is for now and we will see where we go with this beyond and bet you anything we will be checking all the episodes and renumbering them, however that is the blog post for the week, have a great weekend and as always, I will talk to you all on Monday!

I think our TOU (Terms of Use) Needs to be Updated, PRONTO!

              I definitely think the Terms of Use needs to be updated as we have had an good amount of trolls and bots in our community and yes I am referencing the Discord with the stupid spam from bot accounts. This has to stop and I had to remove the pinned post on X and pin something else that is more important to us which is Entertainment Man Podcast. 

             So our terms of use really needs a a facelift, more update then anything else in the world. So the the team and I will be discussing and updating whatever needs to be done and we already have worked on it and working on the server as priority # 1 for us as there has been issues. Mainly the only thing that needs updating is the Discord TOU as we list everything with the current rules. So that is priority # 1 to get a new and improved TOU. Anyways, I realize I am late with the post and that will be the post for today and as always, I will talk to you guys tomorrow!
