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.

Podcast Pages Players back to it's Original Player!

           This is in preparation mode as we are seeing what we need to switch back to the old players and if I remember off the top of my head Everything About Reality TV & Power Rangers Collaboration which is in our Archives have the old players already placed on the page but we will check when we start adding back in the old players. We may have to upload some episodes or a bunch of them as we did take a break from that player but that's OK though. 

          We will explore everything and see what needs to be completed and it will be released at the same time once it has been completed. If you see some pages that are already done don't be alarmed, we will announce once all the work is completed. This shouldn't take too, too long honestly.  Once I get started in replacing the players, I should get into a good rhythm and it will be completed quickly but I need to work on some things first for next week or so, please be patient but that will be it for the second blog. I'm sorry no blog yesterday, was out of town and no time to write anything and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

More Major Work to be done!

              I know, I know! More work to the website? Just to the podcast pages for the following Podcasts: "Entertainment Man Podcast" "The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies" & "The CBOTW Show- Reality TV" all need the old audio player we once had at some point. However the Discord server is finished finally and I am very happy and content with the way the server is so now I can move on to other projects and as always please report any bugs on our server if there is any and I will check the issue at hand. 

              The other work that needs to be done besides Ghostwriter is Hocus Pocus movies for next week to record hoping Larry is healthy again as he's been sick quite a bit lately and I need to make sure my co-host is healthy to record. Also will be working Thursdays two episodes along with Entertainment Man Podcast as it's a rainy day here in Ontario so I am in my studio majority of the day may step out in the afternoon to spend time with my parents but we will see. If I have time by the end of the week, I will even work on Corner Gas editing, Ghostwriter editing and by golly even work on Building Bridges. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

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!

The CBOTW Show w/ Larry and I Beyond 2025

           I know there has been questions what the future of Ghostwriter is and we do not know. I know there has been questions when we will be back. It may not be till a year from now. I am sure I will be talking to Larry between the other projects that I am working on in the meantime but as for recording by end of October and that will be a wrap for Larry for a while. 

          Don't worry, we will be back in due time but I am not sure when and I am not going to pressure him or myself to getting back into things and this gives me a ton of time to work on seasons 2 & 3 and get ready for the next step of this. I know I sound like a broken record but we cannot rush things and the extra time will be good for me to work on things behind the scenes. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow and thank you, Zoey for covering for me last week while I was in the middle of a ton of chaos here.

Chris & Larry are Back in The Saddle!

         Today is the biggest return of the Dynamic Duo of The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies, the two Founders of this podcast since 2018. That's right Chris & Larry are back in the saddle and the rest of the staff and you guys are very excited to see the two guys back in the saddle and interested in what shows and movies the two of them have planned out. I heard something through the Grapevine a 2nd Happy Gilmore 2 is in the works too. 

        I do not know the extent what is being recorded and what I said yesterday isn't all set in stone as of yet but whatever they record will be posted and some things may be pushed later so he will make sure it is organized in a folder when it comes to what needs to be released as October will be very chaotic as Chris is willing to co-host Survivor 49 Recaps which he's come up with a cool name.

 

Anyways, chat tomorrow 💜

New Development with the New Podcast!

        Chris has been talking to the team and sounds like he's made some more development to After Hours with Shane and Chris and he has now to also decide to add this to the list: 

- Dual Streams: YouTube & Twitch- Once our account is back online, the show will be on both platforms and he is actually going to run by the other half of the show. Very exciting to see the live shows being on both platforms.  

        Please remember that there is no ETA for the podcast starting but we just like to show off our progress and we know you want to know how things are progressing. Chat with you tomorrow.

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.

Breaking News with our Podcasts!

            I know it's only been a day when it comes to updates but After Hours with Shane and Chris is indeed on YouTube but here is everything podcast related:

After Hours with Shane and Chris: Will be LIVE on YouTube on Fridays @ 7 pm EST, Episode posted on Sunday. There will be no shorts in regards to it, we haven't discussed that part of it.  More then likely it will happen to pump those who didn't hear the episode LIVE. More is coming soon, we promise!

The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies: Will be posting shorts on Mondays & Wednesdays @ 9 am/1 pm/3 pm EST. Shows are on Tuesdays & Thursdays @ 6 pm EST posted up on Spotify Video/Audio ONLY Platforms. 

        Now here are the one show that is now ON HIATUS for the forseeable future as I have no clue what is going on and not getting any answers whatsoever from the host that is going to practically run that divison and the show is The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps Division. A lot of breaking news we have and least this is a good start in the right direction and we just continue to grow from there. Anyways that is the post for today and as always, I will talk to you all tomorrow.

After Hours with Shane & Chris [More Info]

             A lot of progress has been made with the show lately and I can say that it is becoming bigger and bigger as we continue on the journey and with a month away from production set to start with Season 1 on October 10th, 2025 which is the Friday of the long weekend of Canadian Thanksgiving and what a way to launch this BRAND NEW show to our amazing network. 

            We are on YouTube and I know that raises eyebrows after having to deal with teenagers causing issues with a... Nevermind, will not go into the negatives but Shane wants to make sure it is 18+ Show and that is what we are planning to do with the show. So are we posting the YouTube version to our website? The answer is No. Will be ultilizing Spotify Video to our website alone with Audio ONLY. We are only using YouTube for the Live Version of the podcast and we will be adding the Audio ONLY version of the podcast in the podcast tab as always. 

            Live Shows will be Fridays @ 7 pm EST and posted on Sundays @ 1 pm EST on the old time slot Entertainment Man once held for the last 5 years. This is something we have never done in well almost 10 years but we are returning to a LIVE Format and there will be no drama, disrespect whatsoever. Positivity is the only thing we will allow so please do not come into our chatroom trying to cause problems as my staff will ban you faster then you can say ticondaroga. Anyways positivity Chris, right? That is the post for today, rather long winded post and as always I will chat with you all tomorrow!

How Am I Feeling a Week Later?

             Almost a week later after Entertainment Man Podcast, I have had a rough week with getting use to not working on episodes, interviews and what not... Yeah, I had a lot of guilt, feeling down on myself, felt like a useless piece of you know what. That is just stage of loss, stage of change in your life:

1) Feeling lost, unsure what to do next;   That has been me all week in a very odd funk but I seem to have gotten out of it and has learned to move on. 

2) Feeling down, feeling out of the loop, not wanting to do anything. 

3) Acceptance: I feel like now that I have accepted the fate of the podcast ending and down the road it can be rebooted but not 100% sure it will be.

           So what I am trying to say is I am slowly coming around and acting a lot happier and excited for the next phase with ChrisBOnTheWeb Media. Anyways there will be a post later on for Orono so I will talk to you all then!

Chris

Larry and I will be Back in 2 - 3 weeks!

              I know as it is now September, Larry is back online again short time this week as it's his first week back and YES he's in the Discord Server now and the community is fully built to our specifications. I will talk about it on a blog, I have lots of ideas and the next 3 days will be cruical for us, 2 today, 2 tomorrow and 2 Friday! So what is the call Larry and I made with RETURNING to Podcasting The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies. 

             So the Tuesday slot is currently empty and if I feel up to posting up an episode I will, however, I have made it clear originally that I would put the episodes on Tuesday in the meantime and I will as long as Larry and I aren't recording but with him and I not going to be starting for another 2 - 3 weeks maybe 4, I may as well move Corner Gas to Tuesdays on a permanent basis perhaps. Most likely, him and I will start posting episodes second week in October the Hocus Pocus movies for Halloween. We may record a couple of things for November, maybe one more set of episodes of Ghostwriter but we will see how things will go. We do not have a lot of time left together till he moves. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you this afternoon.

Change is Good! (Saying Goodbye to My Podcast)

             It is an end of an ERA fior Entertainment Man Podcast. I've been doing this show for 5 years, 6 seasons, 313 episodes, I felt like the show has gone stale, same old, same old week after week, show after show. I honestly wasn't feeling it anymore. It was time to say goodbye to it and move on from it. Luckily I have The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies and After Hours with Shane and Chris which I will talk about more this week after I chat with Shane with more about this.

             However, as the saying "All Good Things Must Come to an end" and it totally true! I've felt like this the right time and do not worry, I will not bring it back, cancel, bring it back, cancel like I use to with one of my YouTube Series I did back in the day. I look forward to what's next and the new project is ramping up nicely and information is coming soon. There will be more this week but that is the post for today and as always I am going to talk to you all tomorrow.

Malcolm in The Middle: Life's Still Unfair

            You will hear me mention it on The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies feed today in 2 hours of this posting but as you all know there is a 4 part Malcolm in The Middle: Life's Still Not Fair. I wanted to try and get as many episodes done as many as I can so it will depend and I want to try to squeeze in 2 episodes of the series. 

              I know I should of started soon so what I have thought so I will wait till Malcolm in The Middle: Life's Still Not Fair comes out and do that instead maybe by New Years, I will slip it into the schedule. Right now Larry is limited how much we can record and there is no news so I will have that 4 episode podcast later but right now keeping the doors open for the time being in case. Being very cautious with the Tuesday schedules right now. Only 2 timeslots for this podcast so I have to be careful how I schedule things. However that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Double Episode coming tomorrow!

           I know there has been delays with The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies and I am working on it. That is why I am planning to do both today so this way I can get it done and move into the Snake for this weekend and along with Entertainment Man Podcast so I do have a plan and after this week, I will be not as involved on The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Podcast as that is Billy's domain not mine and I will be back to focusing on TV & Movies more with Larry & Bob.

          So the schedule will look like this: 

Tomorrow: 1 pm EST- The CBOTW Show: TV & Movies- Freakier Friday Audio ONLY

                  6 pm EST- The CBOTW Show: TV & Movies- The Simpsons; A Star is Burns Audio ONLY

Saturday:  6 pm EST- The Snake, Season 1 Impressions and Chat Audio ONLY

Sunday: 1 pm EST- Entertainment Man Podcast Audio ONLY

            There is the schedule and I promise you, it will be out on time this time around and we will make this right with you guys and that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Things Have Gotten Real!

            With Corner Gas now booked for a week and a half from now, this puts the pressure on me. Going to be finishing up all these Reality TV Podcasts for the week plus Happy Gilmore will be out. I am actually posting a blog at 9 am EST & 11 am EST today, playing make up for you guys.  With Corner Gas not just preparing for that podcast and finalizing things, we have some more Reality TV next week too and the weeks coming. It is huge for us honestly! We are not slowing down on creating episodes for you guys.

           Things are going to get quite hectic and we are excited to be covering all these shows. I do not even know how I will manage Motivational Friday and all these podcasts plus going out but will see how things go. It is so exciting and so much to record and post up in such a short time today, I might just post everything tomorrow as I will be at Rib Fest tomorrow and spend today recording stuff for episodes. That is a promise to you guys. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you guys @ 11 am EST.

The Wheels are Turning! [As Chris's Mind Turns, LOL!]

               I know, the title is a bit of a clickbait but the wheels are indeed turning. I am taking this break from those sites we're banned on to work on the major projects to get done and finished and out of our way so WE can put it out there for you guys in the end. You guys always come first before anything else and it has become quite tougher now for us with 3 different shows in our network but we have become quite busy and premiere practically every 2nd day with shorts on every other day and live chats with the fans as well. 

              The reason I say the wheels are turning, we will be adding the 3rd show in almost a month away from now and how excited we are to be bringing this show to the network. Especially with our new shiny Discord Server that is going to be bigger and better then the previous versions of our server as I am adding in "EVERYTHING" and when I say everything, there will be a lot to do and chat about on there, the logo is pressable on the right hand side under the YouTube Button. I hope you all have a great weekend and I will speak to you on Monday.

Chris

The CBOTW Show Updates

              With the current situation with our socials, we've been focused on getting back on there. Not the reason behind this post, there is so many moving parts, I just finished up Over a Barrel part 3 as a refresher to work on it and been working on Happy Gilmore 2 for next week so next week will be the big week for this podcast 2 episodes but hopefully maybe a 3rd one under the Reality TV Podcast Audio ONLY Feed. 

              Excited for this and getting Corner Gas going as well, I should have some announcement soon but I can say I have been working on episodes on the side one a day, so getting close! We have a ton more time on our hands right now with Ghostwriter recording sessions on hold for who know when as I do not when Ghostwriter returns. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow for another post.

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
