We're taking a different approach!

            Things haven't been panning out as we wanted to and I have made a executive decision with Chris's OK with it and we have actually terminated the Community Director role. So this means the team dynamics have changed a tad bit. We have someone who is familiar with our company and is a long time friend of Boss Man's from high school. We welcome Billy back as our Program Director and he oversees all the programs on our network. So welcome back!

             This means we are not planning to do anymore hiring but always room to add mods here and there especially on our YouTube Channel. We will need to start adding some and it is part of my duties to find some. This means a major turn around for us and change is very crucial for success. With Boss Man in the helm, we know we are going to be a successful team. I will speak to you tomorrow morning for the end of the week updates.

Halfway there! [Big Update]

           So you probably want a more of an explanation on what has been released and obviously it was Entertainment Man Podcast page is now back up and running after just a week and a couple of days it is fully fixed and running. This is the halfway mark of our website fixes as the provider we had isn't reliable anymore and we are moving on from them and doing our players a little better powered by Spotify. Now you're gonna ask me what about "Everything About Reality TV Podcast" which what got this network started back in 2015, almost 10 years ago. Well the players will remain as they are. We do not want to upload to Spotify and having to update the entire page again so if Archives for the podcast goes down then so be it but hopefully it's back up quickly.

         This is the halfway marker of fixing the pages. The CBOTW Show is the next project and I plan to recode and fix the entire page tomorrow and that should be the completion of fixing the players. I trust Spotify and we have a good relationship with the platform staff as they have been very helpful with some issues we have had in the past so we thank them for the help and support as we transitioned to this platform. Also this week, I will be starting to transition Entertainment Man Podcast's RSS Feed and by the end of the week we should be officially off Castbox by the end of the week. I will not update all platforms as there is so many the podcast is on but I am sure it will be rediscovered quickly and with this change it will be permanent change no more moving around anymore. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

The Studio is Always Changing!

               The studio where Entertainment Man Podcast & The CBOTW Show are recorded is always changing and with the addition of the Green Screen, we will need some movement in the space and something that my chair isn't close to the screen and it is quite squished in here honestly. So Thursday before Larry and I record anything and work on the Rumble as we are planning to post it at some point. Also we will be returning to YouTube for The CBOTW Show.

                So I've been blueprinting a lot of options and ideas. I want Larry's help so we do everything right the first time around and not have to redo any of the changes again as the Green Screen is massive, fits practically a wall. I want to turn the desk about but that will cover right across the studio and no way to come in and out especially my parents so only option is the Green Screen again the wall and moving the desk but I have an idea for the one of the two desks. Anyways that is the update and be on the lookout for pictures of the studio and as always I will talk to you all on Monday.

Back To The Grind!

               Today, I am getting back into the groove of things. I am working on The CBOTW Show for Wednesday and after that I will be working on another project I cannot talk about yet but it will be going to be huge portion of this community and help us moving forward as well. Thursday I am aiming to record the follow week and getting into the grind. I know the shorts last week or so has been limited. That is on my docket to get them out. I have like 25 shorts I can post up for you guys and it would keep you guys busy. 

           Getting there and learning to stay on a schedule this way I can take time off for myself on a Sunday where I do nothing at all whatsoever. I think moving forward in this way, I will have a lot more structure then I did before. I mean I did have structure till the schedule changes ended up throwing me off kilter and it is nobody's fault but mine. I should of known better to follow the new schedule but this week is the week of not trying to sabotage our schedule anymore. I know I was accused of it but wasn't intentional, been going through some personal struggles outside of work. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

End of The Week Updates [08-09-2024]

              Another week has passed by and we are now down a staff member. We no longer have a COO of ChrisBOnTheWeb Media as she has departed. Anyways, we move on that is all we can do, keep pressing forward with CBOTW Media. So we are pretty well back on schedule with the podcasts, I am recording today the next two episodes that need to be finished then I will be writing episodes, interviews, topic episodes, etc. 

              Also the Discord server has been completed and up and running for use which is awesome. I feel bad for it being slow on finishing up that project but least it is now up and running and working well. If there is any issues to let us know and we will fix it. That is about it for the updates and I will talk to you all on Monday for more posts as I have a food review to do here on the blog.

Chris

Discord is FINALLY Done?!

         All I gotta say to start with my infamous... SMH towards Chris as it has been weeks and he finished it. Finally and we can move on to other projects and things that need to be done with ChrisBOnTheWeb Media and I do know the next step he's working on too! I will be covering Chris on these blogs for the week and possibly next week as he continues to knock things off as he has a collaboration coming up in 12 days from now.

         Anyways back to Discord, I have actually made a birthday plans to celebrate Chris's birthday and anyone that is on our server and anyone that has a Discord Server is certainly welcomed. Look forward to it and will be in the lounge. So those who joined and to those who want to can by hitting the Discord button on the left hand side or https://discord.com/invite/2NdjYh7DBX and will talk to you all tomorrow.

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.

Upcoming Collaborations (The CBOTW Show)

                   August and September will be a busy time for us, for me mostly. I will be collaborating a bunch with guests I've had on "Entertainment Man Podcast" and now making an appearance on The CBOTW Show, which is awesome but here are some of the collabs coming up:

- Larry, Executive Producer/Co-Host of The CBOTW Show 

- Mary from Mac and Cheese Podcast, Guardians of the Galaxy 1, 2 & 3

- Bob from Static Radio, Corner Gas, getting down the basic outline of Corner Gas. Will be probably two or three parts so that is very exciting stuff. 

- Izac from Fun Football Podcast: Top 5 or 10 Bill Murray Movies!

              There is the list and look forward to working on that this week and the coming week or so as we prepare some amazing collaborations towards the end of the summer as we start heading into the fall. Tomorrow I will talk about the next big series that will be covered on The CBOTW Show but I will talk to you then.

Learning to Take Small Steps!

              In the last 2 months, I have learned to take smaller steps. As you know by now with all these changes I have learned a lot about myself and what I have learned is to take smaller steps. The CBOTW Show on YouTube too soon that was a big wake up call for me knowing that it was way too soon to go to YouTube for that podcast so we are waiting till January 2026. Also I have learned with the smaller steps to check to make sure it works meaning the episode is completely playable which I have done since the issues occurred. 

             So smaller steps means taking it one thing at a time. I am continuing to focus on The CBOTW Show on Audio ONLY for the next year before making the jump to Video (YouTube) Also getting use to the weekly schedule with both podcasts on Sundays for Entertainment Man and Wednesdays for The CBOTW Show. It will take some time for us to get readjusted to a schedule that will soon make a lot more sense and less confusion. Anyways that is today's post and as always I will talk to you all Monday!

Goals For ChrisBOnTheWeb Media?

             Since we are halfway through the year, some of our goals weren't reachable like the YouTube Channel for The CBOTW Show but there are goals I'd like to share with you guys professionally:

ChrisBOnTheWeb Media: I'd love to reach 1 million views on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and we're closing in to 700K at this moment and it may take a few more years but that is totally OK with that and we continue to grow and learn each and every day we continue this journey together. 

            Also I would love to see 20 years and even a 25th anniversary for ChrisBOnTheWeb but baby steps as we are only on our 10th anniversary at the moment and we will get there eventually but again it is a long way off from our 20th and 25th anniversary and we will get there some day, just gotta keep truckin'. 

Entertainment Man Podcast: Now Entertainment Man, I can say I want to reach 300 episodes with eventually hitting the 500th episode down the road. Also I would love to hit 500 subscribers which is a very high goal and that will happen eventually. Small goals to start obviously.

The CBOTW Show: With The CBOTW Show of YouTube now my only goal is the 100th episode of the podcast and getting up there in episodes and probably get close to 50 by this year. 

            Anyways that is my post for today, it is nice to redefine my goals and as you noticed, I didn't give us any timeline, when it happens it happens right. Just keep producing the content out there but I will talk to you all tomorroW.

We Broke The Website Yesterday!

          Yesterday, I wanted to change up the website so the girls and I (Kelsie and Haylie) decided to explore the idea that I had and we ran into an issue with the menu bar as it didn't work whatsoever no matter what layout we went with. So the entire layout and the menu code and layout we had stayed the same but it moved about with the changes in the layout so it was there but was moved around. So the website for about an hour looked a hot mess and the three of us find it hilarious that we broke the website and we had a laugh for the day. 

          However once we got fixing the website, we found the website now looks a ton better and I am not sure what we did but it is now fixed and looks a ton better. Proud of the changes and big thanks to the two ladies being up all hours helping me through the fixes. Haylie was so patient and helped me out with the fixes and patches to the website and Kelsie was on the duty of testing the page out. We also removed the wall of fame as we do not have the images and feel it wasn't benefitting the website. Anyways we are online and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow for another blog post!

CBOTW Media Studios is preparing for Christmas!

            Decided to try a different font today, exploring the blog feature on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. So far I love it. As you know tomorrow is the last Friday of the month of November, which means ChrisBOnTheWeb Studios is getting prepared for Christmas and to prepare Chris has already got the wiring setup for the lights with the clicker to turn everything on and what not. 

            Now he isn't planning to setup the lights till December 7th, 2023 with Larry as I said before he is planning to record Happy Gilmore. He definitely has a plan ahead which is great that he thinks outside the box and very quickly. CBOTW Media is a fast moving company/group as things change and we have to be ready and on our feet for the necessary changes to be made. We have had a lot changes recently with the schedules for podcasts and content. I will be back tomorrow for the "End of the Week Updates."

Mark, Community Director/Website Admin 

Blogs for 6 days this week and next week

          With me busy with local and events in Toronto, I have decided to expand the schedule to Saturday once again and I think this may end up being a permanent basis for the rest of the year as their has been endless amount of content. Because now, I am looking at two blog posts as of Friday which is insane to have so much content for the website it's unreal. You guys are so very lucky to have a ton of content really. 

           I think putting our blogs 6 days a week soon is going to be taking affect soon like really. I am now convinced we need to make this move NOW, not in January 2024, however I am holding onto the decision to make the switch. Because I want to see if it is needed this year or if it can wait till next year. We will see as I am already preparing for the end of the year. This blog may be a bit shorter but that is today's post and I will speak to you all tomorrow!

Content Schedule Is Being Adjusted in 2024!

        With 2024 slowly coming to an end... We have changed the schedule for 2024 and please note changes are in bold and italics:      

Sundays: 1 pm ET: Entertainment Man Podcast (YouTube/Audio ONLY) Not being affected for 2024, same schedule as before. 

Monday - Fridays: 11 am ET: Daily Blog Not being affected for 2024, same schedule as before. Only change is Saturdays being added to the lineup.

Wednesdays: Entertainment Man Podcast (YouTube/Audio ONLY, Posted ONLY) Only change on this podcast it is being added to YouTube so the podcast is fully on YouTube 

Friday's (Every second week), 1 pm EST: The CBOTW Show- TV or Movie w/ Chris or both Larry and I. (Audio ONLY) This will be a rotation between my solo episodes on this podcasts and Larry and myself 

Saturdays:   11 am ET: Blog post Been tested throughout the last year or two and has become popular enough that people want it back. 

                    Time TBA: (Sporadically): Facebook Stream

The CBOTW Show will be sticking to one schedule and rotate with Power Rangers/Movies and other TV Shows with Larry. This is a better schedule. I wish we could put this schedule into affect immediately but we have a lot riding on us this year first of all so the schedule right now is SPORADIC. This is a better and more solid schedule moving forward and it is important to have a more solid foundation moving forward and everything was clumped too close together. Excited for the necessary changes we need to continue to be a successful Media group in 2024 and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

End of the Week Updates [09-08-2023]

             Another week has concluded and of course it ends with typical drama in our community Discord which will not be tolerated moving forward. So with that there has been changes to the team:

The CBOTW Show: As I announced on the private group, Larry and I were about to add an additional member to the podcast but that has all changed now and will now remain Larry and I moving forward and will continue on with what we are planning especially with the looming final 4 episodes we need to record together before we start prepping for Cosmic Fury!

Website: So the change to the team page has been readjusted once again and plan on keeping it that way for right now. Probably for a very long time. 

This Weekend: I plan on working on Power Rangers and plan on hoping to attend the Orono Fair this weekend as I technically cancelled going but the door is open but will be up to my dad if he wants to go. I really do wanna go as we plan on going for the Tractor Pull which is always one of my favourite things at the event. 

            Anyways those are updates for the week, I learned a lot this week about myself and I will talk about that on Tuesday but for right now have a great weekend and as always I will talk to you all on Monday for a brand new week of blogs.

Chris

We Continue to Grow!

         ChrisBOnTheWeb Media is now starting it's transition stage. What does that mean? Is anything changing? CBOTW will continue to blog Monday - Fridays with the occasional Saturdays, Entertainment Man Podcast and The CBOTW Show continue to produce and put out episodes. Events will continue to happen as always. The team isn't changing, nothing is changing really when it comes to ChrisBOnTheWeb Media. 

          This just means we are expanding the brand and team as with Jeff being the most addition to the team, he will be doing a podcast and a name you guys are familiar
with that I haven't  mentioned in a very long time. Content and activities with CBOTW Media isn't changing but our team has now expanded and a new era of ChrisBOnTheWeb has started. As it should after almost 9 years of operations it is time for some more growth. Trust me we've been growing and we continue to grow this empire! Anyways that is the post, I wanted to share the amazing news and thank you for reading and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

The CBOTW Show New Plan

           The CBOTW Show is constantly evolving since the announcement of it returning last month. I know I said I was gonna hold back and I am but for Larry and I we are waiting to be on the air on that podcast. We are waiting till Power Rangers Collab Podcast slows down and it is coming in the next year from now. Plus sadly Larry will be moving in the next year and a half to 2 years back up north as his mom is retiring so this means he will not be in the studio anymore and the boom arm will be dismantled and put away for the time being. 

          However this doesn't stop me from finding hosts for the following shows: 

- Survivor (Host for Survivor 44 and beyond)

- Big Brother Canada (Will host for season 11 and will be offered for Big Brother US in the summer time)

            That is the plan for right now and we will grow it down the road. Will start with these two podcasts then continue to grow this thing bigger and bigger and you never know I may end up popping back in more permanently down the road if Entertainment Man Podcast ever stops which it isn't for right now but least I have a plan for later on especially. That is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for end of the week updates.

I'm Back and Changing My Routine A Bit!

            Well I'm back to running the day to day operations and me being the Owner once again. Now I know what you guys will say you need to take time off for myself and honestly things are going to change moving forward. On weekends, I am doing nothing regards to ChrisBOnTheWeb on weekends and why Jim our Community Manager will be keeping an eye on things answer social media questions and email inquires over the weekends so this way I can relax a bit more and take weekends off. Only time I'd work on a Sunday is if I recorded Power Rangers Podcast episodes and he is here in the studio but recently with CoVid-19 we're currently recording via Skype during the week at this time. However that is besides the point really. Also if it really comes down workload I will work the occasional weekends but I am not going to push the envelope as that is one of the reasons why I took 2 weeks away from the day to day operations of the website and group. Not only that but the trolls started to get to me and disrespect towards my staff and people being rude in general. 

            Either way I am very happy to be back to the day to day operations and being able to talk to you guys without not saying much minus a couple of posts on social media post and the one blog post that I did recently. That kind of helped me make that decision to return to ChrisBOnTheWeb and I am glad I did. I am really happy that I made that decision to come back sooner then I thought. I honestly thought it would of been a month before I returned to CBOTW and I really have been struggling to decide to come back but now is most definitely the time to make the return to ChrisBOnTheWeb. Now is the time for me to make the move to continue to grow this thing and I honestly it has even with me away from the day to day operations handed to Jim things progressed well under his leadership. However I am back and that is what matters. I am not going to push myself too much in the first. I do not wanna have a relapse of being stress and already started to stress myself out entirely but I am taking my time one thing at a time and my main focus this week is to get that darn Wild Force that is not even remotely near finished. I may have to work one or two weekends to get these notes as I plan on recording the following weekend after our Canadian Thanksgiving but we'll see how I do this week. 

Chris
