Post Easter Blog

                 With the holidays concluded, well it is technically still a holiday but Chris and I are working on getting the older shorts done and schedule for their scheduled days Sundays and Fridays.  That is the biggest project on top of the shows itself to be finished. We're working on content for today and tomorrow first then we will be working on the older stuff. What I gather he has no podcast recording sessions planned till Friday with another special guest on the podcast. 

                 So holidays may be done but we continue to work on things. I hope he does take some time for himself today at some point and I am sure he will. I hope you all had a great Easter and if you are doing dinner today instead, enjoy it. Boss Man will be back to blogging tomorrow and I know he has a post coming about the Bowmanville Maple Festival which is a week and a half away from now. Anyways, I will chat on Friday, enjoy your week.

Weekly Updates for 04-11-2025

                It is time for some updates and Chris has been busy with the website and podcasts particularly. The first update is Chris has been working hard on the website and has completed the 30 minute free call and the coaching pages have been completed. He is going to be working on the newsletter next week and excited to be launching all these services and features. Also he is planning to start up weekly streams on social media again soon. He's been so busy with everything else right now. 

                    It's kind of the reason why the reason The CBOTW Show disappeared on Fridays for right now but soon as Corner Gas starts then we can most definitely have episodes on Fridays too but he wants to focus on uploading the rest of the content that he has, shorts and what not. Next week should be the end of all long form content in the way of older content, shorts continue to be uploaded.  Those are the updates for this week, stay tune for more updates and as I promised, I will let you all know when the Weekly Newsletter and coaching will start.

Trying out The Sims and The Sims 2 Tomorrow!

                I went ahead and bought The Sims and The Sims 2 to round out all the games as I already own 3 and 4 already. So Larry and I probably will be playing it in the afternoon after our recording sessions. I will have a double review next Monday for you guys what I thought of it and if it was worth getting. yes we are talking back in the late 90's and early 2000's when these two games released.

              I have peaked at it a tiny bit but not too much as I want Larry to show me the ropes in the game. I am not sure how to navigate in the game so I am excited for him and I to play and see the difference between 1, 2, 3 and 4 and how it's evolved over the years. So that is the post for today, little shorter then normal but I just wanted to put it out there that I got the two games and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Website Changes, New Idea!

               Website has been changed up once again and this is cause of the issues with our audio only platform we are with and I've decided to have one feed for TV and Movies and we will add a dedicated feed to Reality TV if we chose to go down that route down the road. I have a plan with all of that doesn't involved YouTube nor Rumble whatsoever. I am planning to utilize Spotify a ton more both audio and video and this way I do not have to worry about those platforms. That is kind of the reason why we went down to one website page for the time being till I decide to launch the Reality TV side again down the road. 

               I will probably be waiting for the expansion till May or June to finding some hosts for the podcast but that will be later on. The first step will be us getting the Audio ONLY fixed first. However I have changed everything around, Entertainment Man Podcast will be on Spotify Video & Audio ONLY; meanwhile The CBOTW Show will be Audio ONLY like it has been recently but doesn't mean we are getting rid of video all together. More details are coming on Thursday but as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Feeling Good This Morning!

        Regardless of how I feel this morning, sleep or no sleep, I feel very good. I feel accomplished and the fact I've got it done at a good timely manner. Slowly but surely I am getting back on track! I feel the power of positivity that this is the beginning of posting out on time for once. Maybe my luck and the fact that I am actually going to be bringing out content more on time and the fact I am posting both episodes this afternoon, things are on the up and up.

       You have to remember to stay positive and work through the struggles that you are going through. No matter what, things will turn around and get better. Yes it may take some time to improve but it will indeed get better but it takes some time. I understand this now especially the fact it's been two or 3 months now and still was struggling with the scheduling issues. I think it was because I wasn't adjusting to the new schedule very well. It was all on me and I admit it and very open to admitting my mistakes. But what I need to do is move forward and continue to improve the day to day operations and that is all I can really do. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for another post.

Chris

Already in Phase 2 with this Website!

          We are already in phase 2 of the website plans. I know there are certain phases that have been changed due to the continuing changing dynamics of this community. So here are the remaining phases changed:

Phase 2: We are adding the embed of the video to ChrisBOnTheWeb.com for "Entertainment Man Podcast" as "The CBOTW Show" hasn't reached "video status as of yet. Timeline: Couple of weeks to a month of work on the page adding the embed. Haven't checked if the videos are embeddable yet.

Phase 3: Put 10th anniversary into archives one Midnight hits. Timeline: Midnight January 1st, 2025.

Phase 4: Launch The CBOTW Show on video aka YouTube for the first time. Timeline: January 1st, 2025.

Phase 5: Launch the get involved page for The CBOTW Show and get people involved with the team and community. Timeline: Mid January 2025

           However with Phase 2 which is now underway now, we can actually see some progress as people have really started to love our new layout. Anyways that is the post for today and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Sometimes you've got to make difficult decisions

             Just a heads up on a few things before I get into the post's main topic: For right now, I have suspended The CBOTW Show for going on video, pending a review. The next little change is the main channel is no more! It is PERMANENTLY dismantled. If I am up to it I will sporadically stream to Twitch but on a non schedule. The CBOTW Show will be still going up this evening, not sure what time to be exact but it will be up. Website has been completely overhauled and wish I did this sooner honestly but had a hard time with the tough decisions I had to make. 

            However with what I have said, change can be good but in the long run it can be definitely scary. But we have to remember, that we have to make difficult decisions and what I did above proves that in our life we have to make decisions, whether it is personal or with work, we all face decisions in life we do not like whatsoever but that is part of our life. We have to make decisions we don't like and what I said in the first paragraph, proves I had a hard time with the changes I didn't want to make. Hope this motivates you guys a bit, a bit of motivation on this Thursday and as always I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

Shopping Cart Simulator or Grocery Store Simulator?

            Well now that I have actually played both Shopping Cart Simulator and Grocery Store Simulator I have found myself loving Grocery Store Simulator more then Supermarket Simulator. I dunno why but I've actually moved a lot further then Super Market Simulator but I am not knocking it because I will be back and stronger then ever. I think Grocery Store Simulator has taught me a lot when it comes to running a store. I have learned so much and I can definitely utilize that if I choose to come back to the game. 

            I may have given up on Shopping Cart Simulator but doesn't mean I'd go back to it down the road. However, I just feel like Grocery Store Simulator is better in my opinion but you guys know me, I will not give up that easily plus i cannot get my money back on this game whatsoever so it is on the long list of games I want to play on the streams during the week. Stay tuned for more updates on this. I do have one more Minecraft post but that will be tomorrow but I will talk to you all at 1 pm EST.

Tim Horton's Flatbread Pizza Review

              I know, this has been on my backburner for a while now since last week when I was at the Pickering City Center. I got the pepperoni flatbread pizza and it was so amazing! Greasy but gooey cheese and pepperoni was great. I've been wanting to try this for a very long time and been saying I was going to and I have now done it, I'd do it again in the future for sure and I would try one of the different ones they have for sure. 

             Anyways this blog is going to be shorter as I have a lot of other work to do here in the studio once I return home from my outing to take a break from the hard workload that we have been doing all day. But as for rating for this review 20 out of 10 as it exceeded my expectations. Tim Horton never has let me down once well except the one which I forgot which one that was but that's my review. If you are in Canada and you like Pizza to try it out, very good Pizza even though I'm not a big fan of flatbread pizza normally but this time I definitely am on this review. I will talk to you guys tomorrow for the end of the week updates.

Getting back on the right tracks!

              As you know and I've been talking about this for quite some time that we've been derailing our content going up and I can officially say, we're back on track sort of. It is coming along and tonight is the podcast with Mary and I won't be doing much recording till Sunday afternoon after tonight. So it is slowly coming along. 

              One step at a time. I figured out the routine behind all of this. I have learned to prioritize myself to what is the most important to get done. Now I need to hone my craft and keep this momentum up. Not sure what caused this change but this is good change. I want to keep this momentum and to have an assistant like Sadie is good. She's keeping me in line especially with the workload piled up the last week or so but we're coming to the end of the line with podcasts to record which is good so I can start working on other podcasts for the very nearby future. Anyways I am proud of myself to have a fantastic team and grateful for my team behind me and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow for the "End of the Week Updates."

This Week Will be a bit different!

                This week will be different for us! I will be away as of tomorrow till Thursday... Well Kels is planning to do blogs Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday. So it's a short week for me in the way of blogs and I could do Tuesday (tomorrow) but I have decided to take tomorrow off and she's made it clear that I need to take 3 days so I am. Now the studio itself will be closed down Tuesday to Thursday, I am working in the studio today then off and back on Friday. 

                 I know the podcast has been upside with scheduled to post. I feel bad for not showing up but today I am working on Wednesdays episode editing it so it's up for Wednesday while I am away on holidays. I will be working on a ton of episodes for both podcasts. I will try and wrap up things so when I get back I can continue to write new episodes. Still need to work on Witchbucket's interview but I may wait till Tuesday for it. So this week is a bit different and more then likely I will be streaming Friday, Saturday, Sunday and possibly Monday depends. Anyways that is my post for today and this week I will talk to you all next Monday and I will be updating the community as the week goes on but mostly Kelsie is in charge for the week.

End of The Week Updates [06-14-2024]

              This week has been tough for us. Getting all the content done so Chris can move forward but alas he is closing into finishing all this editing. Streams will be back this weekend, not sure the times as he is actually has something going on at 11 am and will not be in the studio but soon as he gets home he will be most definitely live for you guys. 

              He hopes to start working on new content as of Monday as he wants to have everything done and finished by then. There is no further updates and this post is going to be rather shorter then usual but I have to say thank you to everyone for the new follows on social media, new group members, new Discord Members. We continue to grow and evolve this community on a regular basis. We have some big plans coming in the nearby future including a special event for our 10th anniversary both Discord and Streamyards but stay tuned for more details to come! That is the updates, sorry it was a little short today but I will speak to you all next week.

Starting to figure out what works

            I am finally figuring out things with what works for us and what isn't working. I know things have been a bit hectic for us lately but we are finally realizing what is working and isn't working. I know Discord went away for several days then it came back but it is permanently here to stay. As well as we have brought back the Facebook Group that is actually public to everyone and is the behind the scenes look at ChrisBOnTheWeb Media and early discussions that go on before it is made public on the other social medias. 

          I definitely we are going into the right direction and we continue to grow and learn what works for us. I know things haven't been the best for the second podcast but will talk about that tomorrow for a blog post. We have to take things one thing at a time and one day at a time. It will all come together eventually but one thing at a time is the way to go. Anyways that is the post for today and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Post # 2000!

            What a journey it has been! ChrisBOnTheWeb.com is now OFFICIALLY at our 2000th post! I cannot believe we have come to this point. 2000 posts across the board. Now when we first started, we actually didn't start till March 25th, 2015 that was after I was banned off that streaming platform and almost 10 years since my aunts passing. I don't believe we even blogged in 2014 and back then we actually waited 5 months before starting the blog up. 

           However, when we started to blog more and more, that is what really helped our blogs. We use to have daily blogs 7 days a week, then down to 6 times a week then to our currently schedule 5 days a week with the random occasional 6th blog in the week. At this moment, I'd like to thank you guys for the support of our blogs whether it's an update or some kind of discussion, you guys are always on the website reading what I have to say and we appreciate it so thank you! That is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

             The CBOTW Show upcoming shows being released for you guys as follows: 

This Friday, February 2nd, 2024: The Simpsons Podcast

Friday, February 16th, 2024: Power Rangers Beast Morphers, Season 1

Friday, March 1st, 2024: Power Rangers Beast Morphers, Season 2

             That is basically it in the way of episodes for the upcoming weeks and as you know two weeks apart is the schedule for this podcast and I do not want to get too far ahead of schedule at the moment. But yes Power Rangers Podcast is schedule to return to air after 7 - 8 months of it being off the air this long. Excited for the return after over half a year of no Power Rangers Content due to my depression and dealing with loss in the family, we kind of fell behind because of me and it is understandable, I was going through a lot last year but making up for it this year. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris is taking the rest of the week off.

               Not sure what is going on with Chris right now. He's apparently sick with who knows what! Don't think it's COVID. He would of been coughing already. People mad at him for no reason. I am just lost for words. With him feeling off a bit he's decided to take time away for the rest of the week. He seems to not be able to stay healthy whatsoever. Once a year he has his yearly illness. But it is a lesson he's going to wear his mask more often when he's out and about as cases have indeed gone back up here in Ontario so better safe than sorry.

             He continues to finish up the Power Rangers Podcast for 2 weeks today, plus working on Entertainment Man Podcast notes, including the chat with Shane Flannigan, Eric (possibly) and Justin and Larry. Hope he is feeling better soon and he's able to keep working while he's sick but mostly hope he takes care of himself first before working. What I heard he's doing a tad better today, it could of been just a really bad bout of mental exhaustion but it could of been just a small head cold but he played it safe at this point cause both of them sick means no recordings for now. He made the right decision. However he will be active on Social Media and has asked me to do todays blog on top of my usual and always appreciate the opportunity and will chat with you all tomorrow. 

Kelsie, Community Director

I lost track of time with the post today....

              With the tireless work I have been doing with Power Rangers Podcast on The CBOTW Show and trying to get the notes done in a quick and timely matter and hope to get it done by Thursday and I have already told Larry least one episode will be done in time. So no matter what we will be recording something and a step forward but I am leaving the blogs opened for updates when I have news about finishing up the notes then you guys will most definitely know. 

              Now the blogs have been off schedule today and tomorrow I will promise to be done on time so you guys have a post and I was in a rush leaving the house this morning to meet up with my friend Eric as he usually hangs once a week and I didn't get back home till around dinner. Priorities have been a mess lately and trying to do everything all at once but one step at a time, one thing at a time and it will eventually get done. Anyways that is the post today, not much to say but I will be back tomorrow for another post at 11 am EST, I promise.

What Ever Happened to 6 Blogs a Week?

             I do not really know what happened! We were set to go 6 days a week with the blog and what happened? Who knows. We've had our share of issues with our Community Director and site admin since mid October to a point there was always someone doing the end of the week updates and now it's basically just me unless Kelsie pops up from time to time to fill in for me but that's been a rare occurrence as she has double the duty for us; as you know she's been on and off since August 1st of 2023, 5 months and counting and she's dominated as the Community Director. even when she went quiet she was dealing with the emails outside of social media. 

          Anyways we tried to have our Community Director to do it and she's always welcome to jump on the blog anytime. However I know we said we were planning to go 6 days a week but are keeping it optional moving forward especially with events. This also is Sundays too. Weekends are optional especially with the end of the year blog landing on a Sunday we need to be more open-minded with the days and it can happen. So in retrospective we do not know what happened but I think it's more the fact we wanted to be more open minded and that is what the plan is moving forward for us. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for another blog post.

Chris
