The CBOTW Show Chatter....

             There has been a lot of chatter in regards to The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies and Reality TV Recaps. The chatter with the two podcasts both under the same show name but two different feeds. We're again making that shift back into the Reality TV Podcasts as Billy really wants to be involved and I am going to let him do the recaps even if I pop on my once and a while. So that is exciting as we gear up for Survivor 50. 

             The other end of the line with the regular show, the TV & Movies Recaps, Larry and I have been talking about the return. We have gone through everything, testing is the first thing as we didn't have a ton of time to test on his laptop and we failed at the Streamyard and was a bit of a problem for him still and I saw him but it wasn't connecting. Anyways we will be testing Discord out to make sure it is ready to go. So the timeline isn't very clear as I already stated to Larry that I will have to watch the shows then mail him the notes so it will take some time for it to get up to him. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow!

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.

Reality TV Podcasts are done!

            For those who are in our little Facebook circle, The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps has been scrapped entirely! Communication with the team behind the show lack luster so I am kind of taking this experience and flipping around to full focus on both "Entertainment Man Podcast" & "The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies" which I am going to and have already been calling it just "The CBOTW Show" even though the title of the podcast is different from how I say it. The schedule remains the same for right now Tuesdays with Bob & Thursdays with Larry which I have an announcement for it tomorrow @ 1 pm EST.

          We will be adding into The CBOTW Show "Dancing With the Stars Recap with both Mary and I" and maybe, just maybe I will let her take the reigns as host for a change and I will be the co-host but we will see that is later on in the year and if they renew the show for another season but I am sure it will be gotta think positive and look forward to it as this will be my second season watching it. So we have a plan in place and Saturdays is a spare day for posting up episodes and I can always remanuever the episodes with Larry to Saturdays if I need to but we will play around with the schedules as we see fits. Anyways, as always I will talk to you guys tomorrow!

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!

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!

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.

Chris

We're Ready for New Beginnings!

          With 2025 coming to an end, we are gearing up for 2026 and around Christmas Post on the 24th & 25th, then at the end of the year and in the New Year you will see 5 or 6 posts as we wrap up this very tough year for us and especially with me taking time off here and there for my Mental Health. With this dramatic year coming to an end means new beginnings and I know that 2026 will be better and so much better then this year. You will be seeing a lot more happier and positive Chris moving forward.

        The line-up next year will be insane! We have quite a good line-up for the New Year and I will be starting to redo the entire schedule on the website. Again I will have more on this but we're ready for change and change is so important to continue the growth and we should of not returned in 2022 but we live and learn from this experience and use it moving forward. Anyways that is the post for the last day of the week, have a great weekend and as always talk to you all on Monday!

Temporarily put video versions for Entertainment Man on hold!

             We've officially given up on putting video to the Entertainment Man for now.... I plan to resume it after the Audio ONLY side is finished entirely and all audio only is up and baby steps is what is important and if I would get some time to work on that I would but with down time over the holidays, and no new episodes being recorded will give me some time to tackle the website a bit more as I still would like to have it done by the end of the year so we can move on with the current shows we're doing. 

            This temporary change will be very short lived and it will be worked on faster then you know it so you will have video for some of the episodes that actually have it. Temporarily it's temporarily on hold and trust me, I want to get this done and over with as fast as possible so we can work on the actual show as February 1st and beyond, I am going to be on my own for the Thursday shows which normally Larry and I but he is on a leave of absence while he moves and settles on in and I have told him to not rush things to take his time on things. It's not like we will be recording every 2 weeks because we won't as it probably will be monthly recording sessions as to have enough for the month then we record again but I will address this later in the week but that will be the post and as always talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Working away on podcasts and the website!

            Still working away on Corner Gas and need to finish the final 2 episodes with Bob and hope next week or two we can get back into that once again and that it won't be delayed in the New Year as I keep on procrastinating every single time. Also I have the episode with Larry to edit and need to record two more episodes. Also have done some tech work and I see why the sound was off compare to what it was before, I had automatically adjust mic and that was an issue before and hopefully this crap doesn't replicate but time will tell when Bob and I hop back on a call. 

          Website wise I am already on Season 3 of 6 so halfway there video video wise but need to continue to work on it but it isn't a full priority right now as I have to maintain the current and active podcasts is the most upmost importance right now and it is totally understandable to get all the content, podcasts and blogs that need to be done, done. I will talk more about it on my social media streams this weekend and I will talk to you all tomorrow for a bonus blog post.

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.

Busy Week for Us!

                This week will be a busy week for us. Corner Gas is being recorded once again with season 2 now days away from the recording session. Also we will be or I will be working on Christmas Movies for the month of December. Editing and scheduling episodes will be the upmost priority for us. Once I finish that, I hope I can get back to working on Entertainment Man Podcast.

                 Speaking of that I have decided to keep the episodes up on all platforms for your binging pleasure. I also will be changing the audio to video eventually once I hit the 2022 mark then the video versions will be popping up. So it will be a very busy week and weeks ahead of us in the way of content and plus possibly heading to the Halton County Radial Museum as well. It depends on my schedule with family. It will remain up unless something indefinitely changes but Tyrone Parade of Lights is a GO this Wednesday as I do not have anything scheduled. Anyways that is the post and keep an eye out on social media for any cancellations or changes and I will talk to you tomorrow.

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

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,

Tech Work Begins for the Future of The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies!

              The Tech work for the future episodes with Larry has begun today as Larry is here in the studio with me hanging out we have decided to do some technical work with him and I recording episodes in the very nearby future. I know we still have 2 left one on video/audio and the other just audio only due to me accidently deleting the video episode. Then nothing till January then we are off the air for the foreseeable future until Mr. Larry is ready to get back into it and gives me time to work on Ghostwriter right to the end of the series. 

             So basically the tech work being done is for a call between Larry and I and we are not sure what we will be using at the moment. I am thinking Streamyard but not 100% sure but we will decide that when we get ready. I'd like to use Discord as much as possible but we currently don't have a server so that is so out of the question. What I am thinking is using Streamyard in it's entirety as I've had complaints that I'm not sure where the call will be well I am most definitely going to be utilizing streamyard for major of the shows, however the one with Shane and I will be using Riverside. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you to you all tomorrow for our 11th Anniversary of ChrisBOnTheWeb Media!

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.
