End of the Week Updates! [01-31-2026]

             Another has come to an end which means time for the end of the week updates! I had some interesting ideas in the back of my mind so here are the updates:

Newsletter: I was thinking about doing the newsletter and these end of the week updates. Might extend the newsletter and changing things around, keeping the end of the week updates for here and the new and what's upcoming for ChrisBOnTheWeb, events, podcasts, podcast updates and what not. 

Entertainment Man Podcast: I have come to terms that Entertainment Man Podcast will NEVER return to video whatsoever. I am totally OK with that to be quite honest. 

Working on Corner Gas: The next step is to get Corner Gas going for next week as I am recording with Bob in a week and a half from now so it is on the dire need to get finished first. 

Ghostwriter: There has been movement on the series wanting to return and Larry practically asked me to start working on it or have I worked on it which I haven't lately. 

The CBOTW Show: To replace Larry and I's podcast while it's being worked on and Larry settling down in his new home, I will be doing probably an array of things such as Malcolm in The Middle; Malcolm in the Middle: life's still uunfair, Groundhog day.

           Anyways those are the updates for the week and newsletters will be returning with some different between both and maybe our newsletter we will focus on community events, podcasts, live streams, blog updates, etc. I am going to try this out and it should be active the pop up once again here on our website but as always talk to you guys on Monday, enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Next week I go solo on Thursdays for a while!

             Next week, starts my solo career on Thursdays as Larry is not available at the moment as he just moved and I will be talking to him next week on a video call through Discord to do some testing so we are going to be starting a testing phase. Here is what I am thinking moving forward for the month of February for both Tuesdays and Thursdays:

Tues. Feb 3rd, 2026: Corner Gas, Season 2, EP # 8, Security Cam [Bob & Chris]

Thurs. Feb 5th, 2026: Groundhog Day [Chris]

Tues. Feb 10th, 2026: Corner Gas, Season 2, EP # 9, Bingo Night [Bob & Chris]

Thurs. Feb 12, 2026: Malcolm in The Middle, Season 1, EP 1 - 4 [Chris]

Tues. Feb 17th, 2026: Corner Gas, Season 2, EP # 10, Mosquito Time [Bob & Chris]

Thurs. Feb 19th, 2026: Malcolm in the Middle, Season 1, EP 5 - 8 [Chris]

Tues. Feb 24th, 2026: Corner Gas, Season, EP # 11, Hurry Hard [Bob & Chris]

Thurs. Feb 26th, 2026: Malcolm in the Middle, Season 1, EP # 9 - 13 [Chris]

          There is the timetable for February 2026 and I will do this at the end of every month especially that I am now on my own on Thursdays until Larry is ready to go for recording. Anyways that is the post for today as always talk to you all tomorrow.

Been a bit worried about Entertainment Man Podcast.

           The views struggled when I first started Entertainment Man Podcast back up after a couple of months of silence and that is totally understandable as I did leave you guys in the dark. I know I lost followers but it is seem to have become back to the peak it was at where I last left off. I have so many new ideas and I realize, I have my YouTube to look through see if I can help you guys growing your channel here and there even though this podcast isn't on YouTube nor Spotify Video. 

          I've said this so many times, Rome wasn't built in a day and now, I am seeing that same results we once had on YouTube. I noticed a difference between Video and Audio ONLY and most definitely video has it's perk and like I said in my podcast last week, Spotify in general it is podcaster based so it makes a completely difference. Slowly my podcast is getting back on the right track. Anyways that is the post for today and as always, I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

We're Retired from YouTube for Good!

           That's right the title doesn't decieve you whatsoever... Still quite angry that friends of ChrisBOnTheWeb Media now former turned on us so quick yet they supported me over a year, so I am just done with YouTube, the trolls have ran me off once again and honestly I will explain the Spotify vs. YouTube podcast this weekend and may go off on a rant who knows but we're tired of the trolls, tired of the drama to a point I've started to call it Drama Tube and the fact I allowed one person back to find out they blocked me and my entire team on Discord, we're done. 

           Between the trolls and drama, we want 0 part of it and we are now fully retired from creating content. You are probably wondering what about certain channels, are you active as a user and the answer is YES. I do not make my name too public anymore and its different from CBOTW Media then you know and I am mostly watching and the occasional comment comes out but creating content wise, we're retired from creating content and have moved on to Spotify. Again, I will explain between Spotify and YouTube on Sunday's episode of Entertainment Man. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow. 

Chris

What's the Plan This Week?

              This week, I am editing all the Corner Gas episodes to schedule it to post. This includes Audio ONLY as well. Nothing else else besides editing but getting Entertainment Man Podcast ready for the weekend but it will be a quieter week for me as I got a ton of things done already this week and will have a bunch of time on my hands and probably do some things that need to be done around the studio itself, including cleaning up the studio a bit and recording a tour of the studio updated as it's been a while since I have done one.

             So it is a bit of a lighter week unless something major happens but I doubt it to be honest with you all. If all goes to plan, maybe I will get a chance to stream a little bit I will, I do have updates for you guys and exciting stuff around the corner and I will answer questions about the news of the Reality TV Recaps being scrapped all together if you have any. I will cover it on the blog tomorrow explaining as best as I can with the situation and what this means for Dancing with the Stars Podcast down the long road in the future. Anyways that is the blog post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Any updates on Ghostwriter?

            I know it is January and right now, we are finishing up the first season and after that, there will be open slot on our schedule as Larry will be and has been on leave but I have seen and recieved messages and I've mentioned him on social media and people are wondering when? When are we going to go back? 

            Well I do not know but I can say next week, I will be working on the next batch of Ghostwriters with the same format as before and I believe it is a shorter season and so is season 3 so there should be no problem getting it done so we can move on to another series and we have another one picked out already! Anyways, I think and believe it will be either mid year or fall 2026 to early January 2027 when we return as you know I have to mail out his package of notes to him up north and that will take a bit of time as he's not local so I need time to work on that and get it out to him. So more like later in the year and Larry and I haven't discussed it and I am obviously writing this before he hops on and have 0 information but if I do by now, I will be sure to update you next week as that is the post for today and week, have a great weekend!

The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps isn't done yet!

           The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps isn't done! Survivor 50 & Traitors are on it's way and Traitors US Season 4 starts at the end of the week so that is indeed exciting for us and I will personally be covering it this season. If I need to jump onto Survivor 50 recaps, I will but we will figure a way around it as it's Billy's domain for the shows actually. I am just excited to be somewhat involved with a show either way even if it is several months apart. 

          This week on Friday @ 6 pm EST the first episode that will be released to you guys publicly and will be on both Video and Audio ONLY and I will talk about the schedules tomorrow on another blog post but expect more from the Reality TV Recaps as we continue to grow this network more and more and I know we are on the right track with shows and what not. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Change of Plans!

            As you can know I was planning to add video but that has changed as I am only uploading the audio only for this podcast as seeing the views gone up, I have decided to remove the video side of things and put it up on via the player on our website moving forward. Once this is done, we can officially move the heck on. I also will be OFFICIALLY deleting the feed once all old episodes are downloaded off the feed.

      Once that has been completed, then we are ready for the future and during the break from recording, I will be finishing this project up and when I said I want to have this finished by January 1st, 2026, I meant it! I just want to put this podcast to rest. Yes it was a fun project/podcast/show but it was time for me to move on to bigger and better things. Anyways that is the post for today as I have a ton more to write before the end of the year and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Tech Issues with OBS and Streamyard....

                   There are two episodes that had audio issues with OBS, one of them being the most recent episodes we have recorded and I think I need to raise Bob's voice and probably on Streamyard too as well as it seems but I could use OBS to record in case and I think I am going to do that moving forward. Also I need to remember to have the fader up for the mix-minus setup on my board and that is most definitely something I may have forgotten to go a good level up from it so that could be why I am having issues with the edit. 

              I have never had issues with Streamyard or OBS before and the settings seem to change even if I do not change anything this is why you need to check your tech when it comes to recording shows. So the real fault is by user error and I admit it and I promise in the future to check everything and assure that it works but that is the post for today, I would continue on but I have an appointment and need to get this out for you all but as always, talk to you tomorrow.

Chris

Entertainment Man Podcast Page Work slow down....

             There has been a bit of a slow down as of this morning as I was awake during the night as I couldn't sleep any more as I passed out earlier last night, I wanted to do a post today to let you know I am working on the Entertainment Man Podcast page and it is still in archives at the moment but been adding back Archives.org as they've been having a bit of a loading issue and wish there is a way to put a player right from this website itself. 

           It was indeed Archive.org having some loading issues and it happens as they get a ton of traffic daily so it is understandable and I already reported the issue early this morning and they have fixed it so we are back to working on the website page for Entertainment Man Podcast while working on episodes for The CBOTW Show. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Entertainment Man Podcast will be RETURNING!

             I have gotten emails and questions when is Entertainment Man Podcast is coming back, is it coming back, what happened to it? That really pressured me to think what's best for the company and it's shows the interest in the show returning for a 7th season is amazing! I will start working on ideas and get booking for the New Year and already got people lined up, a potential new interview on Entertainment Man Podcast plus planning to have Jimi, Ken and Gilda all on the podcast as well and I just need to book em.

            So I am looking at Sunday, January 4th, 2026 @ 1 pm EST and I will do the full schedule tomorrow for that but it will be only on Audio ONLY as I already have 3 other shows Tuesdays & Thursdays for The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies & Fridays for After Hours with Shane and Chris which more information is coming on that via video very, very soon. Anyways I look forward to the new beginnings for all 3 shows and this is indeed the best thing to do moving forward. The break from this podcast was the right thing to do and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow. 

Chris

The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps

              2026 is going to be the year of new shows surrounding the already hit podcast The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies, we have After Hours With Shane and Chris and of course The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps which Chris wants to do a post on Monday where the inspiration came from this. Starting in late February 2026 Billy will be launching the first Reality TV Show on this sister podcast to the already acclaimed successful podcast.

            Chris has noted he will be Billy's right hand when it comes to Survivor 50: In The Hands of The Fans Recaps each and every week. What I gather it will be on Audio ONLY and that was Chris's decision before bringing Billy into the fold when it comes to Reality TV Podcast. In December which is in 5 days away Chris will be releasing information on how to get involved as he is planning to expand it a tad more once again. However time will tell on expanding on shows, enjoy the rest of your day and I shall return tomorrow.

Ghostwriter Series Hiatus [The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies]

                 Ghostwriter series that Larry and Boss Man are recording has stopped recording, the recording sessions are on hiatus currently. But when the last 4 air, that will be the last one for a while. He has stated he is not sure how long it will be but end of January it will be indeed Chris taking over the Thursday airwaves of The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies. 

                  Excited to see what he brings to the table and he's told me a few ideas in the back of his head while watching The Santa Claus movie with Tim Allen.  One of them being a Tim Allen Show called Home Improvement as he wants to bring the nostilga to the podcast and one of the reasons why he created The CBOTW Show back in 2018 with Larry was this exact reason why he did it. Another one was him bringing Shifting Gears to the Podcast with Tim Allen another one of his series he's been in. He may do a public poll to see what you guys think he should do.

December Movies for The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies

              December is upon us and Chris is up to the plate for Christmas movies and he has a bunch of ideas and he has the first 2 weeks planned out plus 2 more for the rest of the month of December and here is the plan:

Thursday, December 4th, 2025: Santa Clause 2

Thursday, December 18th, 2025: Christmas Vacation

Thursday, December 25th, 2025: Christmas with the Kranks

               Excited for him to be covering all of these movies and it will be a full December coming up. These episodes will be on Thursdays @ 6 pm EST in place of Ghostwriter till January when that podcast will be returning one last time before a hiatus and I will talk about it with what boss man has told me so far. 

 

Chat tomorrow,

Spotify Falsely Claiming a Copyright.... [I'm Not Pleased ONE BIT!]

           I don't think I have a reason to be mad, yeah I got blocked in certain countries, USA being one of them but it was my fault putting that music only but they didnt need to send me copyright notice after copyright notice. I ended up spamming the same reply again and again in real frustration and I think I got the message to them that the episodes were removed from our feeds to correct the issue and they continued to put claim after claim. 

           I was starting to think ohh... we may have to go back to YouTube which I am not a fan of anymore because of the trolls and one specific group that turned their backs on us. However I know that there is a solution to everything and yeah I threatened to go back to another site we once used and that might of helped but threatening to abandon a site doesn't really help. I'm sorry if I am ranting but I am not pleased one bit but least it has stopped for now. I will talk to you all soon on another blog post. 

Chris

This Weekend Will be Busy!

           This weekend will be a busy one for us as we will be editing so much ti is just unreal how much content we have to edit, put together and have ready at the helm for November, December and January. I am also working on the shorts/reels for the episodes and one of the episodes doesn't have video as I carelessly erased the entire video version of the podcast so now I have 3 episodes video and 1 without but what can you do and at least I have an actual audio only.

           So we hope to complete all of those as next week I want to tackle the website stuf that needs to be done. Either way we will continue to get all of the things completed in a timely fashion but first is all the podcasts are to be done and today will be recording the podcast for Sunday and the first and important thing after I get the Motivational Fridays done. Anyways that is today's post and as always I will talk to you all on Monday, have a great weekend! 

Happy Halloween!

Chris

Last Day of Recording with Larry for a while!

            Today marks our last day in the studio together recording a podcast together till after he moves away up north which our studio will be very, very quiet without him present with laughter and jokes. I'm sure I may see him one more time before and maybe a lunch, I do not know but if not we will make the best out of our last day not just recording but hanging out.  I am not sure what 2 weeks tomorrow brings so we are acting like it is our last. 

             I will make sure to capture on camera a lot of things that we do throughout the day and post it over the weekend for you guys plus this weekend will be a busy one but will talk tomorrow about that. However we will have video footage and pictures to share this weekend and it will be a busy weekend with content on our social medias. Anyways we will make it a great day together and capture the moment the final time we meet and say so long for now but remember what I said anything is possible for the start of November but that will be the post for today and as always I will 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
