The CBOTW Show [Ghostwriter series on Hiatus]

                Well, I have been a bit frustrated with the dislikes and comments about my co-host has really struck a nerve and now episodes being down voted has me thinking it's time to revamp things when it comes to the episodes being done. So we are putting a pause or putting those episodes on hiatus for the time being. It doesn't mean we will not be returning and we would like to in the nearby future but right now, there are some things I need to work on to improve the shows each episode that goes out. 

        Any disrespect towards Larry or myself, we will be blocking/banning from our community and network. We have 0 tolerance for disrespect as we are a clean, positive community in the end and we want to keep it this way. However, that is not the point of this post. We will know more once Larry and I are back together with each other. I will have another conversation with him how we are to improve and fix these episodes and they are indeed getting views especially Audio ONLY but I want to tweak things when we record shows together. That is the post for today, I will talk to you all on Saturday! Sara has something important to tell you guys regards to this blog.

Surprise Reality TV Related Episode Friday!

                   I never thought, Chris would ever return to Reality TV Podcasts. It's been about 5 years since his last episode and if my memory serves me right he was talking about The Amazing Race or the season that was coming up in the fall perhaps, not 100% sure but it's been almost 5 years and for him to come back really surprised me and the rest of the team. Maybe he felt it was time to even try at least one or two episodes out and see how it works with the current format of The CBOTW Show. 

               What he's recorded was about Survivor 50. What he told me, he was really excited with the  episode and that 5 year break is what he really need. Now it is Audio ONLY for that one but can be found on YouTube under the podcast tab and not quite sure the reason behind it but least you do get a bonus episode this week. I heard he's also going to be recording The Simpsons recaps content and Matilda movie as well today and tomorrow as tomorrow mornings blog, he has an announcement with The CBOTW Show, him and Larry as their on a bit of a hiatus from recording. Enjoy your Wednesday and I will be back Friday.

Back To The Grind!

           Since returning back to Ontario, I've been busy getting shows done I got two airing today, 1 pm EST the Audio ONLY version of Entertainment Man Podcast @ 1 pm EST & The CBOTW Show @ 6 pm EST. I've considered to do a second Entertainment Man Podcast on Wednesdays but sporadic episodes from time to time. Not every week, not every 2 weeks, not once a month but if I feel up to it and something I want to talk about I will post an additional episode on Wednesdays.

          For now I am also am recording a new episode this afternoon with Chris Champion and very, very excited to be doing this podcast as it is about something I love talking about and that is creating content. Anyways after that with the editing, I will be doing other things, working on Corner Gas episodes so I can book Bob onto the podcast soon. Anyways it is good to be back and as always I will talk to you all 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.

June will be busy!

             June will be a busy, busy month for us and here is why:

- Events: We have a couple of events and activities we are going to be attending, Peony Festival which is something we do on a yearly basis and a lot of fun. Also Attending Fiesta Week which is usually my yearly review on the food if I've not had it before. 

- Podcast interviews and Collaborations: I have a bunch of collaborations and interviews scheduled. I will start with Entertainment Man Podcast, still need to book Mary coming back onto Entertainment Man Podcast. Episodes with Nick and another with Chris either went up or will be going up on the platforms. Also June I have Dr. Shafer coming on my podcast which I was on hers end of last month to talk about my journey with Autism and how I am an advocate for people with Autism/Disabilities and Mental Health. I have one more podcast to book for the month of June as of me writing this which may have been updated since. Also June plus maybe July I will be having Izac from Fun Football Podcast to collaborate and talk about our favorite Bill Murray Movies. Also Mary from Mac N Cheese Podcast will be coming on The CBOTW Show to talk about and recap Mary Poppins. 

              There is the timetable or gives you an idea what we are up to in June and as always I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

Weekly Updates [05-17-2025]

                One word: "Busy." We have been very, very busy getting work done before boss man leaves for his out of province trip, we are really trying our hardest to get everything done as the coming week, things will be quieting down for the week. Which this means, there will be no Weekly Updates as we are working all of this weekend and possibly Tuesday but it depends on how far he gets but we are working on the long weekend. 

         I can picture what the plans are when he gets back home from his trip. I kind of know what the plan is after he's back but he's gonna take Monday and Tuesday to himself before getting back into the swing of things. So any questions on the social media will be answered by me so please do not hesitate to ask. There will be a post on Monday and I believe it is already written and ready to go out. I will speak to you all Thursday for more blog posts.

 

 Happy Victoria Weekend to our Canadian Fan Base!

Weekly Updates [05-09-2025]

                This week has been busy. As Chris mentioned he's done a massive changes to the website and has posted Our Team is listed on there. Community has: Schedule, Get Involved https://www.chrisbontheweb.com/p/get-involved.html and Archives; Services has the coaching services we are still offering because of trolls spamming the free 30 minute discovery call that has been removed. On Demand is now called Podcasts and the rest is the same. So this is big changes to the website and will take time for you all to get use to our site under it's new form.

            Other then that we've been editing episodes and recording other new episodes and editing those. Next week he has two interviews and he's trying to book at least two episodes in the week to get ahead with interviews which means he is open to booking interviews  but he would have to keep track which ones he records first and what not and I am going to help him with it. We are getting ready for his trip out of province and I have decided to actually take over for the blogs during the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from May 22nd - 25th. I am proud to say things are now on the up and up. Enjoy your weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there and I will be back next week.

Updates from the Boss Man!

             Well, things have been chaotic and been solely focused on content the last few weeks and one of the reasons this website is missing an key factor to our website and that is the newsletter. This is something we are working on and by the time I get back from 3 - 4 days from out of the province, I will be sure to get working on that. I think I do know how it works. I have an idea how it will work and know it will be a very successful new piece to this. 

            Honestly we have started to question the end of the week updates or as it's now called "Weekly Updates" as it was suppose to already be removed off the blog but we've hit a snag in the plan as we are not sure how to put the sign up on our website yet plus we want to do a pop up but not sure how to do that as the site is very, very full and the pop up would be the best way for us and having it. We would have to arrange a few things first of all. Those are the few things going on right now and we are slowly getting things done and I will do a video this weekend. I will talk to you all tomorrow. 

Chris

Weekly Updates [05-02-2025]

                 First of all sorry for  the late post, so much chaos the last 24 hours, from my desktop computer acting up to the meltdown @ our studio from what I heard of with more tech issues with the computer software, we've had a stressful week but with a stressful week, comes great news from the home front.  What am I saying? Well, Chris got an email and I unfortunately cannot say yet as it's not confirmed but it's huge news for our community!

              The other  news is he has a sleuth of podcasts to edit and post up. It almost didn't happen this morning as the two boys had ran into tech issues last night. However that was rectified and they recorded 5! That's right 5! so 5 weeks of episodes on Wednesdays @ 6 pm EST. They are shorter episodes but they are planning to extend them in less than 2 weeks from now. He is recording Entertainment Man Podcast for this weekend and the weekend he returns from his yearly trip. He is starting to get everything together. Have a great weekend and talk to you all next week.

24 Hours of Fun w/ Larry!

          It will be a crazy 24 hours with Larry! Today we will be making history as we attempt to record 7 episodes of The CBOTW Show and we will be trying to keep it at 20 minutes each which will be 140 minutes of podcasting which is like over 2 hours of show coverage and will be ready for when I am away on holidays. I am having a bit of an idea and by the later half of the week as I will be talking a lot of events this weekend from the Bowmanville Maple Fest to the Doors Open Oshawa.  Anyways off topic. 

           Between our recording sessions, we will be watching a ton of TV, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo, Turbo and in Space but not just that but playing a bit of Sims 2, Inzoi, I am going to let Larry try it out, I think I got him hooked on the game, the last time we played here in the studio. I am sure there will be a lot of snow talk as usual for the two of us but it will be fun and as I promised on the update video there will be a vlog of our afternoon and evening. I'm sure it will be a long vlog of some sort. Anyways that is the blog for today and as always I will speak to you on Monday, have a great weekend!

Chris

Preparing for my Trip out of Province!

           Between working on everything else, getting everything ready for tomorrow's massive recording, it's all hands on deck as this will be our last recording session till June at some point. So I will have more time to work on both Corner Gas for June recording session as Larry and I will be slowing down in the summer on recording sessions but not only that but getting things recorded, edited and scheduled for posting while I am away in Quebec for 4 days with my parents and other family members as well. 

          I go quick with blogs and will be easy to pump out posts on the website. Next thing is to record episode for the Sunday, shorts ETC all done. I will make sure everything is set up to Tuesday after I get back that Sunday. So after this week and I finish up editing Ghostwriter, I will be preparing all of next week on the upcoming holiday away as I need it honestly. I think I will get through it all next week in a timely fashion and have it scheduled. Not sure how but the website version will not be updated till that Monday (the day after) I return from the trip. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow! 

Chris

Weekly Updates for 04-18-2025

                I have no clue when we are going into the newsletter phase of the website and doing away with the weekly updates and we know you love for the past decade and we are still working out how we can do both but small details how it will work out for the future. Chris has been working on editing the interview with Ken and he's hinted all week he was coming back onto the podcast and I never saw this coming till he called me and told me Ken was coming on this week and usually it's a week or two apart but this really made Chris excited and I've heard the episode and you guys will enjoy it Sunday, guaranteed. He's has hinted future podcasts with Ken and also Shane as well. He's really keeping ideas down on paper so he remembers. 

              After editing comes Ghostwriter work today and tomorrow and along with re-uploading and scheduling YouTube Shorts that needs to be put back up.  hoping to get at least 5 done before Easter happens. I've heard he's started to talk and discuss with some of the team on Corner Gas wanting our opinion how to approach it but it sounds like some movement is being made on this and hoping a May recording sesh is in the works and we can start utilizing the Friday slot too. Also Tuesday the interview Chris did with Jeff on Invisible Condition will be Live on 360tv.com, Facebook and YouTube. Also he's heard his interview that he did with Dr. Shafer will be up before April is done. Finally, I want to wish you all a Happy Easter, please safe travels to and from family and blogs will be returning on Tuesday but there is a possibility for a post from me on Monday.

The CBOTW Show Re-Scheduled to 2 weeks!

            As mentioned in the Facebook Group and if you are not on the group it's listed on our website for you to join our fun little community for behind the scenes look. Anyways I mentioned on there only and as we had no plans to actually mention it publicly till this post goes up which you are reading right now. So after  Chris speaking to his right hand man Larry,  because of Easter and also his family is already down, they've decided to forgo the recording and visit till 2 weeks from now. 

          However the good news is Larry is actually staying the night here so means lots of time to record and planning on pushing 7 episodes the same day. Should get them beyond June and see what they can record after that before Larry moves north which means reworking all the tech stuff out with Discord. Will be interesting that's for sure. I am sorry for a very late post, chaotic day for us with a MIA boss man which he is back but I will be covering him for the rest of the week.

 

Sara

Upcoming Shows for Entertainment Man Podcast!

              There are some podcasts that are pending scheduling and I am not going to not mentioning who but I can say I have been in touch with people and working on podcasts and making plans to actually schedule but I am working on interviews with Gilda, Jeff and Shane. Look forward to all the interviews and guest appearances that we have. However that is the post for today, rather shortened post but once I know more I will let you guys know on social media and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

We're Getting on a Roll!

           Chris, myself and the rest of the team have been busy non stop, from uploading older shorts to post to working on episodes throughout the week and he's been doing 3 shows a week and we've been keeping up with the command. I've been helping him with editing and getting things done and out on time. We've been counting down and 22 days till the end of the video form episodes being re-uploaded. No ETA on the shorts from the past but once that is done then we are all new content moving forward. 

           This is why I may be taking over the blog for a while till he gets everything done with the older episodes and I know we are eager to start working on new episodes and have those ready for the future of the podcasts and he's spoke about it and so have I but we've had no time lately. Anyhow, I will chat with y'all tomorrow. 

Sara

No More Discord, How Will We Record Episodes?

             Discord is OFFICIALLY gone. I am tired of the trolling and all the new members coming in with the same name as someone else and makes me very suspicious it is the same person using a VPN, so we are DONE with Discord, I do not care anymore. I just want our community to be drama free and it seems someone is ALWAYS causing problems. I go AWAL for a week and a half to have problems happening on the server so know what Sara and I have deleted our accounts. It is always drama, drama, drama. Anyways sorry to be a sour puss.... Just wanted to express how I am feeling. We still have both the Facebook Fan Page & Facebook Group (which is rarely spoken about), X (Twitter), Instagram, TikTok and of course YouTube! 

           So how are we recording? We are using Riverside for recording episodes unless the guest is having issues with the platform but will make sure it works down the road as right now I haven't had any other option for recording at this point and Riverside is cool and I really love it and I have set it up for both Meetings and Recording episodes so that is really a cool part of the platform and we will see how it goes since now I have a better sense of how the platform works. Anyways that is the post for today, have a great weekend and as always talk to you all on Monday!

Chris

Plans now that the website work done?

            What is the plan now that the website is completed what is the plans now? Well work on Ghostwriter episodes and get Corner Gas episodes watched, notes taken and it has been on my list for the longest time now. This is the opportunity to work on these things and really get things started for the podcasts and really get the numbers up with The CBOTW Show. However I realized this I have one episode that never aired whatsoever and I have no idea why it never got posted so end of the year in December I will be putting it up and already have it scheduled for December 3rd, 2025. I have to remember that The CBOTW Show should be coming out at 6 pm EST not 1 pm EST. I will make a note of it and do a reel explaining it.

           Also on my list is to get Entertainment Man Podcast episodes created, when I say that write brand new episodes and not just Entertainment Man but The CBOTW Show being worked on but that will come later once I get on a roll with getting things ready. So that is the plan and it will be adjusted if it needs to but basically the things I want to work on and yes maybe I will be more active with the Discord Server, not maybe I will be more active as there has been issues, I just wanna make sure there is no more issues. Anyways that is what is next for us and I am excited for what's next and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

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.

Weekly Updates [03-06-2025]

                 Another week gone and so much has changed this week. Chris had re-added the Founders page which was in our trash section for a while but he has decided to put it back up on the website and I do not know why he removed it but glad he made the decision to bring it back. 5th Anniversary is written and I believe he has recorded it and not sure if there video recorded or not. We will see on Sunday at 1 pm EST. 

           Chris hopefully will be working on Ghostwriter and Corner Gas this weekend in-between him being at the rink. I know he said he might be taking today, tomorrow and Sunday off but sounds like he will be taking breaks for an hour or so between the games. Anyways he's actually finished the uploading process on YouTube and should be done by the end, well he's not told me anything but I am guessing it won't be too long from now what I am suspecting. 

          If he does video for Entertainment Man Podcast it will be for two Special episodes, the 5th anniversary on Sunday and the 300th Episode sometime in May as well. I believe that is everything for updates, enjoy your weekend and will speak to you all at the end of next week.
