Website Work resumes in a week or two!

            This week, I will be focusing on podcasts and recording a few weeks worth of Malcolm in the Middle for the Thursday spot. Plus Corner Gas episodes today and by the time this is released it will be done and recorded and ready for the editing and next week should mend that gap which didn't go as according to plan as Rogers decided to go and screw up those plans and I had to re-schedule both shows yesterday. Thanks Rogers... for nothing. 

          Anyways website work resumes in 2 weeks for right now as podcasting has taken the president of everything else right now and that's OK. We will be without our two podcast pages right now while it's being worked on and fixed. You can still find the podcasts on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music or Podcasts, you name it, we've got it! Anyways that is the late post for today and as always talk to you tomorrow at 11 am EST and also an announcement video as well at 9 am EST.

The CBOTW Show- Malcolm in the Middle [Updates]

            As you know in April, Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still unfair is coming out and I believe it is April 2026 when it is coming out and I want to cover it. Kind of why I am stalling when it comes to Larry's return, sorry Larry but it will be worth it in the end. So starting next week on Tuesday (temporarily also on Tuesdays to fill in for Bob) will be the first 5 episodes and we will do them 5 at a time and yes the last 3 is just three so I will actually add in Season 2. 

         After next week it will just be on Thursdays for the foreseeable future but what we can do if we start recording in May or June with Larry and I, we can always schedule it in when there is a spot available or we can even open up the Saturday slot sooner then we thought. There is so many decisions and angles that we could go with The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies and why I created the Saturday @ 6 pm EST spot in case. Anyways thats the final post for the week, have a great weekend, stay tuned for the live stream tomorrow on Kick, Facebook and on TikTok and I will talk to you all on Monday!

The RETURN of the End of the Week Updates! [Saturday edition!]

             Another week has ended and it's TIME for the return of the highly anticipated "End of the Week Updates:"

Entertainment Man Podcast: I have put the podcast strictly on Audio ONLY a long with The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps as we cannot keep up with the video shorts or reels.

The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps: Again this is the second podcast on Audio ONLY as our network grows, we have to think strategically when it comes to all the shows within our network. 

Discord: Discord community is doing good, a lot calmer without the drama and noticing my staff or team are on more and more which is good. I am always on and interacting with everyone. 

Next steps: The next steps is to record this weekend's episode plus working on Corner Gas & start Ghostwriter as I promised Larry as there has been a bit of movement with the series and I know I was very unsure when it would have returned to air. 

             Those are basically the updates for this week, have a great rest of your weekend and talk to you all on Monday!

Change is always important for growth!

            I know the change with the newsletter became shocking news with the feature being removed all together. You know I hate taking a feature if it is either not read or used and the newsletter wasn't being read and I put my heart and sole into each update for the week. That is why, I wanted to go back to our old routes which you guys loved the End of the Week Updates post and it was popular and plus you do not need to sign up for anything to be quite honest. 

             Change is always important for growth and if it doesn't why fix it? The views on the website has been great and all but now my computer has started to slow down so I am figuring that part out but not what I am talking about change is part of our life and we are always facing the diversity of changes in our life, physical & mental health, @ home, work or school it is part of our day to day life. Anyways that is the post for today, thanks for reading, enjoy your day and as always talk to you all tomorrow!

Staff Promotions

             I know the staff situation hasn't been the best and we have been struggling as a team but we persevered though the problems and I have promoted two of our staff that have helped me through thick and thin:

Sadie- Director of Operations: She is in charge of the day to day operations of the company, it's like COO but a different type of name to the title. 

Billy- Head of The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recap- He is the one that runs the Reality TV Recap division for The CBOTW Show Podcast.

           I am happy to have them part of the team as we are going to be reaching new heights and our future is most definitely bright with amazing projects and things going on behind the scenes and as always talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Entertainment Man Podcast Chat...

            I know the episodes aren't doing well and it will take time for the podcast rebound as a lot of the views came from YouTube. I know and realize there was a petition out there for the podcast to go to video and perhaps, perhaps if it went video then things would most definitely change in the way of views maybe. I will be trying that this week for the first time since end of August 2025 Spotify video for this podcast will happen.

          I am all for trying it out and seeing what works and what doesn't work and this is something that works for the show. I do not want to make that decision to cancel it after this year and it goes away and not make a return to air whatsoever but not going to give up so easily but that is the post for today, enjoy the double podcast this afternoon and tonight and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Podcasts and Halloween!

                Guess what! I'm back with another blog! Surprise! So with next week being Halloween our schedule will be a lot more jammed packed in the way of schedule and one of the things I am working on today along with Entertainment Man Podcast for this weekend but next week what I've counted is 4 podcasts in the making which is the most I think that we ever put out in a week's worth of content. So here is the schedule for the week moving forward: 

Sunday, October 26th, 2025: 1 pm EST- Entertainment Man Podcast (Audio ONLY) 

Tuesday, October 28th, 2025: 6 pm EST- The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies-- Corner Gas, Season 1, EP # 7 "All My Ex's Live in Toronto" w/ Chris & Bob LeMent (Spotify Video/Audio ONLY)

Thursday, October 30th, 2025: The CBOTW Show-- TV & Movies-- Pyscho IV: The Beginning w/ Chris (Spotify Video/Audio ONLY)

Friday, October 31st, 2025: 6 pm EST- The CBOTW Show-- TV & Movies-- Hocus Pocus 2 w/ Chris & Larry (Spotify Video/Audio ONLY)

              There is the jammed pack schedule for the week more than half of the week with podcasts going out, almost the entire week and I hope you guys enjoy all 4 shows next week and as always I will speak to you guys soon!

Not Doing Seasons/Episodes on The CBOTW Show for Now....

            I have literally given up on doing seasons and episodes and it is easy for us to do that but we may down the road add in the episode #'s when it comes but seasons it isn't really possible to do but I think it's best to leave it blank but I want you guys to know how many episodes we have done, I don't know because right now I am rambling at this point and completely not able to cohearently talk like a normal human being but at this point I see no reason to do it at this point hence it has been since left empty.

             I somehow think I ended up putting the same number so it doesn't seem to add it to the amount of episodes and plus we schedule the posts way ahead of schedule and kind of the format we want to do technically. Anyways for now I will leave it as it is for now and we will see where we go with this beyond and bet you anything we will be checking all the episodes and renumbering them, however that is the blog post for the week, have a great weekend and as always, I will talk to you all on Monday!

Chris

Been on a Grind!

            I have found the time to work on The CBOTW Show more and more now with my other podcast wrapped up production after 5 years, 6 seasons and over 300 + episodes. Been able to work on both solo shows and shows with Larry and I and also Bob LeMent and I. However, I haven't actually messaged Bob for the next one and I will this week before the week is up so we can keep going on a role with things. I know there is so many moving parts when it comes to shows each and every week and there is going to be a lot of me on my own between Corner Gas and also Hocus Pocus as that is the plan for Larry and I by the end of the week. 

           So this week it will be quite a grind for me especially today and tomorrow. It was be a game changer for the podcast. I also plan on recording extra episodes in case for upcoming weeks that Corner Gas isn't on as it takes time to prepare, record and edit everything together. I will be working on the last Ghostwriter set of episodes for mid October to late October plus working on Halloween Movies and still deciding which one as of yet.  That will be on the Thursday slot when Larry and I aren't posting up anything. I know it sounds complicated and maybe once we record stuff, I will put a timetable on a post for you guys but that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Why do we have a lot of downtime?

            I know the lack of episodes and content compare to when we were on YouTube. However even if I am not at the computer I am always thinking one step ahead of the team and always thinking how we can improve and even post up some behind the scenes. The reason why we have so much downtime is because we are lacking in the content department. What Are we doing to rectify it?

--> Halton County Radial Museum; Videos, photos of my day out with my dad. 

--> South Simcoe Railway; Videos, photos of my day out with my dad. 

--> Try and do some occasional Saturday blogs if I find a ton of things to talk about.

--> Double up with The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies: I know Larry and I haven't started to record podcasts together yet. I will try and fill in on Thursdays if possible. 

           Trying to make things up and get back into a routine is important as we head into adding the new After Hours with Shane and Chris, hopefully October. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Getting into a good rhythm!

             Since getting back from the cruise during the day the other day, I have gotten into a good rhythm with content, getting this done and finished first as this has #1 priority  with the blogs as today, I am at an event so I will be adding in an additional blog tomorrow on top of the 2 episodes. It will be an epic weekend of podcasting. We are slowly getting things done and have been slowly getting things done as we are heading into next week and September in about a week from this Sunday. 

             Once we are in a better rhythm, I can start working on episodes for both Ghostwriter and Corner Gas and the more we get done the better we can record at a faster pace but baby steps is always important. However we are getting into a better rhythm now and that is what is the most importance to us and taking things on thing at a time. I will have a make up blog for tomorrow @ 11 am EST as at 9 am/2 pm/4 pm EST will be motivational Fridays with blogs in-between, so as always I will talk to you guys at 11 am EST.

Fixing The Mess I Made!

             I know YouTube went down for almost 24 hours and glad it was able to be brought back online. I had to un-privatize the videos and get all 789 videos, shorts and podcasts back onto the channel. Well not back but return it to public once again. We are only doing the content, videos, shorts and podcasts only and only time you will see me physically on the channel itself is on chat during premieres which are quite often actually. At the most 4 times a week (2 Sundays, 1 Tuesdays, 1 Thursdays) for the time being. 

           I think I have done some of the damage control I caused, erase live streams and when and if I want to stream it'd be on Twitch but you'd have to be on my social media for that as I do not even remotely. However I think I am going to keep it to just chatting on YouTube and gaming on Twitch. I probably be live in the afternoon at some point, not sure whether it is Twitch or YouTube but we will see. I am back on track with things and excited for the future of our channel with the growth. Talk at 11 am EST!

Chris

Yes, I've Been Thinking About The Future.

             I have been thinking about the future and not with The CBOTW Show but more Entertainment Man Podcast has been my concern but I am going to continue on producing new episodes and interviews and guests seems to be the answer to the issue. But I do want to do solo episodes but interviews and guests have helped. I've noticed Entertainment Man & the CBOTW Show (both feeds) have done a ton better on Audio ONLY and that's good. I've been thinking of putting it back to just that but then what will happen to the channel? So you realize my dilemma.

            I promise this isn't me saying we're done with YouTube because we aren't, if we were, I'd be more obvious in the title of this post. We are just making room for improvement. The wheels are turning in my head and getting ideas and I just cannot reveal everything, not just yet. I kind of have a timeline for things. All I can say, as they say on Big Brother, "Expect, the UNEXPECTED." I will talk to you guys tomorrow!

Chris

Trying to take some time off in August!

               Once I finish up with 2 interviews and one collaboration on both podcasts, Entertainment Man Podcast (4 Interviews), I know a lot of interviews and I am not sure if it is 4 or 5. Then the collaboration with Bob but there will be filler stuff here and there. I am not really sure I will have time to not record so I do not know if I will get a break from interviews but I am going to keep on going. Once I'm on a roll then I'm on a ROLL! I mean it. Lately been on a good content kick lately and proud of the hard work I have put in!

                                However, yes a break is in the nearby future but going to start taking my Sundays off like I normally do and still got videos to do as I haven't been on the best of getting out for you guys but work in progress this week. I know it's old footage now as it's been a week or two now but this week during the week there will be a recording session and maybe you will see it live on one of the days I am LIVE in the studio perhaps? Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Happy Gilmore 2 Podcast and More!

               As you know Happy Gilmore 2 came out yesterday and the upcoming week there will be a podcast coming out on Thursday, so yes that's right a second podcast this week. However there will be a 2nd part as I plan on talking to Larry about this movie so there will be a part 2 sometime this fall for sure. Him and I might forgo the Halloween episodes or the better plan is him and I putting Ghostwriter on Hiatus once all the Who's Who episodes are aired on YouTube. This is something we don't want to do but have no choice as Larry's moving out of the region here so him and I will be not hosting any new episodes at the moment. 

             The Schedule will probably look like this:

Tuesdays: (July 28th)- Ghostwriter- Who's Who Pt 1 w/ Larry; (August 5th)- Ghostwriter- Who's Who Pt 2 w/ Larry; (August 12)- Ghostwriter- Who's Who Pt 3 w/ Larry;  (August 19th, 2025)- Ghostwriter- Who's Who Pt 4 w/ Larry

Thursdays: (July 31st, 2025)- Happy Gilmore 2 Podcast- Just me.

-------------------------------

August to October:

Tuesdays: (Possibly finishing up season 1 of Ghostwriter, maybe!) Happy Gilmore 2 Chat; Hocus Pocus 1 & 2

Thursdays: Corner Gas w/ Bob Lement

Fridays: Survivor 49 Recap with Billy and I

              Kind of gives you an idea what I am trying to plan moving forward I know it seems to be a lot on our schedule and how am I going to handle 4 shows a week this is where I am thinking of not returning to Reality TV Podcasts but still want Billy to go through with his podcast regardless but I will speak to him once my time in Facebook Jail is done later on tonight and I will give an update on Monday but that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all Monday!

Podcasts (Breakdown of all shows!)

              I know, I've been doing a lot of thinking, especially with the YouTube situation and I am not quitting YouTube but this is something I've been wanting to blog about for the longest time now. So here is the breakdown of all shows, the YouTube and/or Audio ONLY Platforms:

Entertainment Man Podcast, Sundays @ 1 pm EST [YouTube/Audio ONLY] Remains the main show on Sundays as it continues to be popular show every week.

The CBOTW Show- TV & Movie Podcast, Tuesdays @ 6 pm EST [YouTube/Audio ONLY] Ghostwriter series will be in this time slot for both Larry & I, unless we are on a break for a small summer break, i.e. Larry's on vacation but I more than likely will add in my own episode.  

The CBOTW Show- TV & Movie Podcast, Thursdays @ 6 pm EST [YouTube/Audio ONLY] This slot will be for Corner Gas when we launch this podcast with the one and only Bob Lement. 

The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Podcast, Fridays @ 1 pm EST [Audio ONLY] This will be the place for the Survivor Recaps with Billy and I and I am strictly the co-host and hope Billy will edit the episode. I look forward to being a co-host for a change. 

          These are the shows we are currently have on our network and going to try and push Traitors Canada today to have a host for that one possible a co-host if possible. That is the post for today folks, as always I will speak to you all TOMORROW! 😁

Chris

The Plan With The CBOTW Show.... [After episodes we've recorded runs out]

               As you know The CBOTW Show is back in the saddle with new episodes and we are back underway and you may know Larry is actually now away for possibly the rest of the summer till the fall which means there is 8 episodes of Ghostwriter remaining for the 1st season of the series so it will then be on break afterwards but between all of that and Corner Gas and also Halloween fast approaching, we have to make time for those as well and probably will have to make a full day of recording for at least 2 more times then we will be taking a break from Ghostwriter.

            So we have to kind of wind around the seasons, October (Spooky Month, Halloween) & December (Christmas Season) so we will do the best we can and plus Survivor 49 recaps will be on Audio ONLY so that will be in the mix and I am not 100% sure I can add a 4th podcast and may need to ask Billy to find a new co-host so it takes off a lot of that pressure when it comes to the Reality TV Podcasts but we will see and play it by ear. So that is pretty much the plan moving forward and I know it sounds very, very complicated but it will all fall into place eventually but that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow! 

Chris         

Not Making the best decisions...

          The CBOTW Show is more a TV Show rather then a Podcast. There is just so much going on and just been very concerned so I know this raises a lot of questions what is going to happen with collaborations and as a YouTube Series, we are planning to finish uploading Ghostwriter and may have made a mistake deleting a ton of the of the video versions so I am reuploading those and we will continuing to post the final 2 episodes as a podcast minus the Audio ONLY. 

         However 24 hours later, we reverted back to The CBOTW Show back to it's original origan and The CBOTW Show is back on the schedule but will remain on hiatus till everything is back up and running well and the audio only has been restored back and will be reuploading it to YouTube and the video versions will be up starting tomorrow.

I Finalized Everything Before my Trip!

             I for the most part have finalized everything and raring to hand over the keys to the company so to speak to Sara while I am away. I have everything in place for when I am away and excited to be going away. I know there was a lot of things to do but it is to keep you guys watching, reading and listening to our content while I am not around.

             I have checked several times to assure that everything is completed in a timely manner. Like the saying goes always double check your list or work before you consider it finished or completed. I hope you guys enjoy the next few days without me and any questions do not hesitate to reach out and Sara, Larry, Kevin and Billy will be able to help you. I will chat with you on Monday and don't worry I will enjoy time.

Chris
