Temporarily put video versions for Entertainment Man on hold!

             We've officially given up on putting video to the Entertainment Man for now.... I plan to resume it after the Audio ONLY side is finished entirely and all audio only is up and baby steps is what is important and if I would get some time to work on that I would but with down time over the holidays, and no new episodes being recorded will give me some time to tackle the website a bit more as I still would like to have it done by the end of the year so we can move on with the current shows we're doing. 

            This temporary change will be very short lived and it will be worked on faster then you know it so you will have video for some of the episodes that actually have it. Temporarily it's temporarily on hold and trust me, I want to get this done and over with as fast as possible so we can work on the actual show as February 1st and beyond, I am going to be on my own for the Thursday shows which normally Larry and I but he is on a leave of absence while he moves and settles on in and I have told him to not rush things to take his time on things. It's not like we will be recording every 2 weeks because we won't as it probably will be monthly recording sessions as to have enough for the month then we record again but I will address this later in the week but that will be the post and as always talk to you all tomorrow.

Started to Think What's Best for Us!

          After all this Twitch drama, I am no longer going to be streaming there neither same with Kick. With what I said about After Hours, I meant it we will be focusing on Facebook and of course broadcasted on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com as well as the Facebook video player is also embedded under the Live which is very visible on our website so that helps a ton when it comes to us being live via FB and I've tested it and it works perfectly and I know I have to monitor it all for both chats and I will but also need to monitor the stream as well. 

         This is the best move for us and we are going where the viewers are and that is what is best as we have a pretty good following on majority of the platforms that we are on and it is what is the best thing for us moving forward. Sometimes you will see me stream a game on the fan page or TikTok but rare occurance especially if I want to show you guys the progress with one of the games perhaps. Anyways that is the post for today and enjoy the rest of your weekend and I will talk to you all on Monday!

Chris

Working away on podcasts and the website!

            Still working away on Corner Gas and need to finish the final 2 episodes with Bob and hope next week or two we can get back into that once again and that it won't be delayed in the New Year as I keep on procrastinating every single time. Also I have the episode with Larry to edit and need to record two more episodes. Also have done some tech work and I see why the sound was off compare to what it was before, I had automatically adjust mic and that was an issue before and hopefully this crap doesn't replicate but time will tell when Bob and I hop back on a call. 

          Website wise I am already on Season 3 of 6 so halfway there video video wise but need to continue to work on it but it isn't a full priority right now as I have to maintain the current and active podcasts is the most upmost importance right now and it is totally understandable to get all the content, podcasts and blogs that need to be done, done. I will talk more about it on my social media streams this weekend and I will talk to you all tomorrow for a bonus blog post.

Tech Issues with OBS and Streamyard....

                   There are two episodes that had audio issues with OBS, one of them being the most recent episodes we have recorded and I think I need to raise Bob's voice and probably on Streamyard too as well as it seems but I could use OBS to record in case and I think I am going to do that moving forward. Also I need to remember to have the fader up for the mix-minus setup on my board and that is most definitely something I may have forgotten to go a good level up from it so that could be why I am having issues with the edit. 

              I have never had issues with Streamyard or OBS before and the settings seem to change even if I do not change anything this is why you need to check your tech when it comes to recording shows. So the real fault is by user error and I admit it and I promise in the future to check everything and assure that it works but that is the post for today, I would continue on but I have an appointment and need to get this out for you all but as always, talk to you tomorrow.

Halton County Radial Museum [Christmas on The Rails 2025!]

            Back on the weekend, I got to go to the Christmas On The Rails @ Halton County Radial Museum with both my mom and dad this time around and we had so much fun! We rode the rails on 2894 (Peter Witt), 4611 (PCC) and 4039 (CLRV) streetcars and I always love the 4611 ever since it was brought out back on service at the museum. 

       They had Christmas Music and beautiful decorations and some of them different from past years as this is the 3rd time that we've done this since 2023. Also got to see their new aquisitions car 10 which is similar to the 8 car. Then 104 which is like the sister car like 107 that is in the back part of the museum barn which both are back to back to each other and still boarded up and awaiting restoration. We had hot chocolate and treats. I had the Naniamo Bar which was delicious and was founded in British Columbia. That is the post for today and a wrap for events for 2025 and look forward to 2026 for more events and fun and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

20 Years in the World of Media!

               Wow 20 years I have been in the world of Media, well Online Media. When I started this journey, I had absolutetly no clue what on earth I was doing. I am talking the Video Projects Team era. I had absoletely no green screen no professional mics. I just didn't want to spend the money on the investment and I am glad we didn't as you all know the stories that I have told you guys about the former team and how it panned out. 

             However now is completely changed the course of this team, ChrisBOnTheWeb which is know known as ChrisBOnTheWeb Media since August 2023 (over 2 years ago.)  Anyways, we have grown and evolved as a team and ending our YouTube Career in 2016 was the right timing for us as we have now evolved not just in blog and podcasts but now WebShows and we have a new identity as a company, brand and name. 

             Thank you to everyone who's followed me from the beginning The Video Projects Team, past and present members of this community. I cannot believe it has been 20 amazing years and only 5 years to go till I celebrate 25 years in Media.  Hopefully we will do some kind of big shindig for the 25th anniversary and see what Alumni I can bring together for this momentus occasion but anyways that is the post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow, on time for once.

Entertainment Man Podcast Page Work slow down....

             There has been a bit of a slow down as of this morning as I was awake during the night as I couldn't sleep any more as I passed out earlier last night, I wanted to do a post today to let you know I am working on the Entertainment Man Podcast page and it is still in archives at the moment but been adding back Archives.org as they've been having a bit of a loading issue and wish there is a way to put a player right from this website itself. 

           It was indeed Archive.org having some loading issues and it happens as they get a ton of traffic daily so it is understandable and I already reported the issue early this morning and they have fixed it so we are back to working on the website page for Entertainment Man Podcast while working on episodes for The CBOTW Show. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow.

Entertainment Man Podcast will be RETURNING!

             I have gotten emails and questions when is Entertainment Man Podcast is coming back, is it coming back, what happened to it? That really pressured me to think what's best for the company and it's shows the interest in the show returning for a 7th season is amazing! I will start working on ideas and get booking for the New Year and already got people lined up, a potential new interview on Entertainment Man Podcast plus planning to have Jimi, Ken and Gilda all on the podcast as well and I just need to book em.

            So I am looking at Sunday, January 4th, 2026 @ 1 pm EST and I will do the full schedule tomorrow for that but it will be only on Audio ONLY as I already have 3 other shows Tuesdays & Thursdays for The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies & Fridays for After Hours with Shane and Chris which more information is coming on that via video very, very soon. Anyways I look forward to the new beginnings for all 3 shows and this is indeed the best thing to do moving forward. The break from this podcast was the right thing to do and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Get Involved with ChrisBOnTheWeb Media!

                 As we have spoken on the newsletters and past blog posts we are looking for for a bunch of people to get involved with our website and podcasts.

The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies: With Larry and I on Hiatus for their Ghostwriter, I am looking to collaborate with other podcasters for TV Shows and/or Movies. I will try and keep Thursdays open as it sees fit to the schedule for the podcast's Thursday episodes.

Blogs: We are now seeking more posts and more posts with other individuals and the same timelines are the same and we may have added in a few things here and there.

How do you get involved? You can go to https://www.chrisbontheweb.com/p/get-involved.html choose one of the images on there to get more information on how to get involved. Questions? contact me @ cbotwbiz@gmail.com or for The CBOTW Show inquries @ thecbotwshowpod@gmail.com

Hope to have the website updated by end of the year!

           I really hope to have the website done, done by the end of this year as there are some things I need to complete:

Entertainment Man Podcast: Yeah that has been put on hold yet again and it can be done at anytime and I spoke about it on the blog earlier in the week about adding the Spotify Video and it really has proven the viewership. 

Get Involved: As Zoey said I am going to do the archives like page but it will be different then what we have with our archives it will have an explanation with where to go for to GET INVOLVED. It is very hard to explain but it will once it is done. I am still working on the concept behind it while I work on Entertainment Man.

          These are two major current projects I need to get done and I believe that I will actually get it done by end of 2025 and ready for 2026 moving forward. I just wanted to do this post and I will have another post this afternoon @ 1 pm EST for the Tyrone Parade of Lights so I will talk to you all then!

We've deactivated our TikTok Accounts!

                   Our TikTok has been indeed deactivated as there has been a ton of my contacts, friends and family that got their account breached so I have made the decision to focus strictly on the Facebook, X, Instagram accounts for the time being. I am not sure if and when we will be back on the platform but it is hard to trust people and there has been a lot of account that have been banned and it has affected our growth lately. 

            Who knows when and if we will return but our account is deactivated not DELETED before you guys start to speculate it is deactivated. It is easy to reactivate it at anytime. We have our reasons and don't worry we are still around on the other platforms but TikTok. We apologize for the inconvenience but please check our other platforms for updates by looking to the right with the social media you want to use and clicking on the logo and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Busy Week for Us!

                This week will be a busy week for us. Corner Gas is being recorded once again with season 2 now days away from the recording session. Also we will be or I will be working on Christmas Movies for the month of December. Editing and scheduling episodes will be the upmost priority for us. Once I finish that, I hope I can get back to working on Entertainment Man Podcast.

                 Speaking of that I have decided to keep the episodes up on all platforms for your binging pleasure. I also will be changing the audio to video eventually once I hit the 2022 mark then the video versions will be popping up. So it will be a very busy week and weeks ahead of us in the way of content and plus possibly heading to the Halton County Radial Museum as well. It depends on my schedule with family. It will remain up unless something indefinitely changes but Tyrone Parade of Lights is a GO this Wednesday as I do not have anything scheduled. Anyways that is the post and keep an eye out on social media for any cancellations or changes and I will talk to you tomorrow.

Chris

Get Involved is changing!

                Another page is going to be changing and this time it is the Get Involved page that is getting another major overhaul. Chris has specifically said he is going to be duplicating the "Archives" page which makes total sense and I see what he is actually doing. He will be putting the same kind of things with the logos and you have to click on the logo in order to see the page and will be easy to remove and hide from the website.

               Basically it will have one for the website itself to get involved, one for the podcasts and anything else that comes to mind with involvement with our team. Oh, also collaborations as well if there is any availability as Chris is very much packed up with collabs right now, the Survivor Recaps, eventually Chris and Kevin are planning to cover all episodes of Deal or No Deal Island.  Either way, there will be a way to get involved these are prime examples that will be added and Chris will be on top of keeping this site up to date but thank you Chris for allowing to post and maybe it's time I post more from time to time.

We've Gotta Do What We've Gotta Do!

                As you know we disappeared from YouTube once again and Chris has made it clear he is NOT going to be returning anytime soon. Sometimes we've gotta do what we've gotta do and sometimes we've gotta think about it before we decide to go through with the plan. Same with the issue who the CEO of the company is but that has been rectified. This is why as a team we have to think about making smart decisions.

              I do believe Chris, Larry, Shane, Billy and I  are getting back on the right track and it does take time and like the saying goes: "You cannot rush greatness" which is totally true. It will be the matter of time we get on a good roll but not just that but the fact the matter is I am the CEO and Chris has full trust in me to run the company as he continues to be the Lead content creator and he will be back on Monday for sure.  I will be back tomorrow (Saturday.)

The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps

              2026 is going to be the year of new shows surrounding the already hit podcast The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies, we have After Hours With Shane and Chris and of course The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps which Chris wants to do a post on Monday where the inspiration came from this. Starting in late February 2026 Billy will be launching the first Reality TV Show on this sister podcast to the already acclaimed successful podcast.

            Chris has noted he will be Billy's right hand when it comes to Survivor 50: In The Hands of The Fans Recaps each and every week. What I gather it will be on Audio ONLY and that was Chris's decision before bringing Billy into the fold when it comes to Reality TV Podcast. In December which is in 5 days away Chris will be releasing information on how to get involved as he is planning to expand it a tad more once again. However time will tell on expanding on shows, enjoy the rest of your day and I shall return tomorrow.

Ghostwriter Series Hiatus [The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies]

                 Ghostwriter series that Larry and Boss Man are recording has stopped recording, the recording sessions are on hiatus currently. But when the last 4 air, that will be the last one for a while. He has stated he is not sure how long it will be but end of January it will be indeed Chris taking over the Thursday airwaves of The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies. 

                  Excited to see what he brings to the table and he's told me a few ideas in the back of his head while watching The Santa Claus movie with Tim Allen.  One of them being a Tim Allen Show called Home Improvement as he wants to bring the nostilga to the podcast and one of the reasons why he created The CBOTW Show back in 2018 with Larry was this exact reason why he did it. Another one was him bringing Shifting Gears to the Podcast with Tim Allen another one of his series he's been in. He may do a public poll to see what you guys think he should do.

December Movies for The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies

              December is upon us and Chris is up to the plate for Christmas movies and he has a bunch of ideas and he has the first 2 weeks planned out plus 2 more for the rest of the month of December and here is the plan:

Thursday, December 4th, 2025: Santa Clause 2

Thursday, December 11th, 2025: Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause

Thursday, December 18th, 2025: Christmas Vacation

Thursday, December 25th, 2025: Christmas with the Kranks

               Excited for him to be covering all of these movies and it will be a full December coming up. These episodes will be on Thursdays @ 6 pm EST in place of Ghostwriter till January when that podcast will be returning one last time before a hiatus and I will talk about it with what boss man has told me so far. 

 

Chat tomorrow,

Not Sure Our Future with Twitch.

              I know Chris is close to the ban being up but we are not 100% sure if he will stream to Twitch and I know he loves to stream video games and hangout with you guys and trust me, we are really trying our hardest to convince him to continue on with the journey as we are so close to affiliate, I can most definitely feel it. We want him to succeed with streaming on twitch not failing and he's brought in a good crowd thus far.

               I guess we will find out tomorrow as that is when his ban will be up but it could be tonight, I do not remember when he got the ban hammer. Hopefully he's learned from this experience and he continues that path to affiliate and I know he will reach it if he keeps streaming like he has in the past.
