First Time Having Deep Fried Pickles!

                    This goes a long way back to the point of me still in College for the 2 years I was in college. This was like between 2010 - 2012. Anyways, there was an event for a freshmen I guess so to speak and it was like a BBQ that we had over at the Campus Pub. Anyways there was a bowl of deep fried pickles and I thought, you know what, I am going to try this and see and I wasn't sure what to really expect and this might of actually been the first time I actually had Pickles all together. Maybe, not 100% sure to be honest. The first time I had it I thought, mmm this is good! I actually really enjoyed it and was different to be honest. It was very, very different and to be honest, I'd have it again in the very near future. 

                   All it really is breading around a pickle and it is deep fried. It's not cold it is a room temperature and I am not afraid to try something new to be honest. I more open now then I was for trying something new which is good. I'm sorry this post isn't very very long, its a very short and sweet post and I wanna keep it short since I am late for the post today. I apologize for the late and the not so excited post today but I wanted to do something. Back to what I was saying, if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it, especially if you like dill pickles especially it is truly recommended. Anyways that is the post for today and I will see you in the next post next week, Savannah will explain on tomorrow's post.

What Inspired Me To Do Podcasts?

        Monday, I was on the bus going out to do some running around when I was starting to think, I don't think I have covered this before, nor you guys have known what got me into podcasting. That is what today's blog post is about how this all began, how this came to be. However, you all know Everything About Reality TV began on YouTube but you do not know how I got inspired to do this. It took it a few years for me to embrace the idea of doing it full time. At the time, I was still doing YouTube at the time however I had a podcast of some sort but that was cancelled after a few months and I left it after that with the podcast world and primarily focused on YouTube. 


           Now you are wondering what inspired me to do podcasts? Well, some of you who have been following me since the beginning of social media presence back to my days on YouTube days. So back in the New Year of 2012 which I was still currently a student at college at the time but I decided to join the campus radio station, Riot Radio which ran from February till April, 2 months but it was fun. It taught me how to string together a good topic between the music to fill in, like even local music events, music news, anything interesting, even the the local weather. It also taught me to not be very nervous behind a microphone or on camera, which Riot Radio was not only Audio but also video, a visual radio station. Forwarding to 3 years later, with The Entertainment Man Talk Show on limbo I started podcasting with Everything About Reality TV and the rest is history!


            If you are wondering, Everything About Reality TV was inspired by Rob Has A Podcast and even Rob knows it as I mentioned it to him and thanked him for being an inspiration to me. So it is a two part inspiration to why I started to podcast. Also I have the passion to talk Reality TV, as you can tell from time to time, I can run my mouth on Twitter about it... LOL... It's the drive and passion I have for this, YouTube kind of died down for me after years of being loyal to the platform but I love to podcast, say what is on my mind, and also talk Reality TV or other TV Shows out there!

My Favorite Moment's In College!

             Today's blog post is about my time in College and the memories I have made at Durham College and the fun and great memories that I made during the 2 year program in the Community Integration Throughout Cooperative Education.


1) Becoming a part of my college's first visual radio station out there on the internet. I loved doing "Easy Rock With Chris" because I loved the music I played, music that was easy to listen to like Katy Perry, Coldplay, U2, etc.

2) Doing a few interviews with students in my program and even a tour of my locker. Had to do some video content for YouTube during the hiatus of my former web series, The Entertainment Man Talk Show. 

3) Going To a University of Ontario Institution of Technology Hockey game aka the UOIT Ridgebacks game with a bunch of my classmate in the CICE Program. It was a fun but also exciting game to go as I have never seen the University level of Hockey. 

4)  Got the chance to work out a bit at the CRCW on Campus and get back into shape while on campus and plus it gave me something to do between the long 2 or 3 hours between classes and my radio show on Riot Radio.

5) Doing my placements in two retail stores and also at the Oshawa Little Theater, which I loved working at the Theater and volunteered after briefly till December of 2012.

6) Larry and I becoming T1 & T2 (Trouble 1 & Trouble 2) talking snow on Liz whom is now the Liaison 


                There's my list of my top 6 memories of College and hope you guys enjoyed me writing this list on my favorite moments at college, I know I probably missed a pile of them but these are some of my favorite moments at college, but I truly enjoyed every moment being at Durham College and you never know I could make a return to learn something new to potentially start a career in my life!
