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!

Weekly Updates [02-14-2025]

        I thought we had Entertainment Man Podcast recorded but apparently not yet but this morning he was planning on recording something. No real updates, just a few website tweaks I mentioned during the week. We have been working on the content aspect of things and preparing for the upcoming week.

        I have mentioned, boss man will be back to the blog on Monday and I believe the plan this weekend is for him to work on some shows for the other podcast. Other then that spending time with the family and he had plans with friends and that could change  but I think he's going to focus on his health next week and stay home. It is family day and it's to spend time with the family and I know he will be doing that. As for streams, there is no mention of him streaming again but maybe this weekend he will pop up for even just an hour of gaming to hang with you guys. Please keep an eye out on the social media for updates when he goes live and I will chat with everyone at the end of next week, enjoy your weekend.

Happy New Year! [2025 is OFFICIALLY Here!]

            Happy New Year! 

We are officially in a brand new year! We're excited to what is coming next. Chris has some big announcement coming out tomorrow. I really do not know what the announcement but sounds like really huge news that is coming our way! This year, what I have been told by Chris is The CBOTW Show will have 2 shows per week sometimes and he's hinted in recording a ton more of those as Entertainment Man Podcast is a weekly radio podcast so I am excited to hear new episodes and hopefully things are a but smoother and I know it will be now that he has a full-proof plan with the podcasts. 

       Also we will be launching something here on the website in regards to The CBOTW Show so I am looking forward to it. We look forward to hitting the 1 million view mark on our website. Not sure what other things we are planning but I can say Chris is going to be streaming on Twitch more as he's started to grow our channel Twitch which is great. So once again Happy New Year, let's make this year a great year, I am so proud of my team and look forward to serving as the Companies CEO and I will talk to you on Friday for our first end of the week updates.

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

Let's Have a Chat!

              Let me make this clear. I am not trying to sabotage anything. Yes Entertainment Man Podcast lost subscribers but I am slowly climbing back up. People will come and go when it comes to having a YouTube Channel. The views have been there and haters will hate but not letting this get to me... Entertainment Man Podcast has become a pillar of this community. This is why our community is so strong right now. Despite problems in the community with the drama we always bounce back no matter what. But, there is a but, we are no where near sabotaging anything, Far from it. 

              I  have been in this game for almost 19 years now. I may be just under the age of 40 but nowhere near sabotage whatsoever. I have learned a lot from the previous team.. Trust me TVPT (The Video Projects Team) was a mess and I know that being the former Founder and CEO of that group. I had no idea how to run a team but now have a better idea how things run from a business aspect of things and it really has paid off. The views are there and we are closing in on 800k website views and goes to show we have worked extremely hard on this website. Anyways that is the post, I had to rant a bit but all good, not letting haters get to us especially with 10th anniversary now less then 2 months away which I will talk more about on tomorrow's blog 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. 

Chris

             

Starting to Make Good Progress but Work in Progress!

             I have been struggling with and I did it again. I call this unacceptable. For the longest time I have been on schedule for years now and I have fallen off the plateau so to speak but progress is being made. I am getting what is required done for the next upcoming episodes. I know The CBOTW Show is being recorded today or tomorrow at some point of time but there will be an episode this week. I am planning to get The CBOTW Show off hiatus. 

            However progress is being made with all of this and taking things one thing at a time. Tomorrow will be another turning point for me, I have two shows, one for Entertainment Man Podcast and The CBOTW Show probably recorded in the morning prior to Entertainment Man Podcast. I already know I will be caught up and will be on a better roll with all of this. Anyways I am sorry this is late, I need to do better and I hope today is a wake up call for me but I will talk to you all 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.

Chris

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."

Chris

Big things are on the horizon for us!

            I can feel big things on the horizon for us! We have so much positive things going on for us, our 10th anniversary in November, collaborations. I cannot be more proud to be a part of an amazing team. We have really grown since a year ago tomorrow when I joined up and obviously the rest is history. 

           I cannot believe a year with an amazing group has already passed by. Times flown by for us and we’ve become such a cohesive team and things have worked so well for us. I look forward to the future and plan on sticking around with this team for a very long time.

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.

Chris

A Bunch of Changes and Adjustments!

             As you know there was a ton of drama on the main Channel for ChrisBOnTheWeb Media on YouTube to me erasing the channel all together. The strategy has been switched up to us only using YouTube for the podcasts. As most of you know with the rumors of The CBOTW Show is indeed returning to YouTube for good. However we are finishing up the loose ends of things before we start up on there but we've got the channel and ready to go. Now the schedule has changed a tad bit starting today:

Sundays: 1 pm EST: Entertainment Man Podcast (YouTube/Audio ONLY)

Monday - Fridays: Daily Blog

Monday - Wednesdays: Entertainment Man Podcast (Shorts on it's platform)

Wednesdays: The CBOTW Show (Audio ONLY, for NOW)

Fridays: Reel on Social Media

Saturdays: 1 pm EST: Live Stream on Facebook and Instagram (Facebook coming soon!)

                     3 pm EST: Preview reel for the most upcoming episode of the podcast.

           There is the schedule, There is still a bit of a void but perhaps I could add reels and videos in between and keep up with the updates so starting today the schedule is final and will not be changed in the nearby future. Anyways that is the post and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Had weird dreams last night...

           I had beyond a weird dream last night, just not about Big Brother Canada about my former friend and I starting to talk again. First about Big Brother Canada. I dreamt the reason for the hiatus is they were saving money for a Big Brother Canada Vs. USA version. Now I know we've mentioned anything is possible and I have a good feeling it could come back later on but like I said never say never. It was a weird dream and I do not know what my mind was doing while I was asleep and I slept like 10 hours with being up for a few minutes around 9 yesterday. 

         The other dream I had was my former friend and I were talking and him and I were to reconcile our friendship. However I know it will not happen but was just a really weird dream I had and not sure why it happen but maybe it's a sign perhaps but the damage has been done and I know it will never happen again. I truly think it’s over between them and I and that’s ok friends come and friends go. Anyways that is the post for today I will talk to you all tomorrow and so sorry for a super late post.

Chris
