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.

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!

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 [05-02-2025]

                 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

Weekly Updates [04-25-2025]

                  I am not sure what the plan is but we are planning to keep weekly updates for now. I am not sure what is going on but he wants to keep updates publicly. I think it is a different ideas he has he wants to explore the options between these updates and the newsletter but for the time being we will continue to create these on Fridays. I have a funny feeling he has a plan with both. I think we can do a bit more details with the weekly updates honestly. I will talk more about that as I have more updates.

             Moving along with the YouTube progress, we are getting there and constantly working on it to get it all finished up. As you know we are now a week out from when we finished uploading the older episodes of the podcast and now focused on new content. Also Chris has been working on Ghostwriter for next week's massive recording sessions as the dynamic duo are back together for an overnight. There is nothing else to report but we are making moves, he will be talking more about the coaching next week on Monday to start getting the clients through the blog and the following weekend we will do also a video as well. We have so many video ideas. Tuesday, I will be working on a blog post as a bonus and already been cleared with the boss as well. Anyways, Have a great weekend, enjoy this weather if it is nice out for you and speak to you all Tuesday.

Projects To Be Completed!

               There are some projects that has been put to the side and some that still need to be completed and here is the list:

1) Getting the old shorts re-uploaded- We hope to have it done by the fall at the most as I am trying to post the old ones 4 - 5 times on Sundays and Fridays which are our more freer schedule for content. 

2) Newsletter- We are trying to come up with the best way to create the sign up and a pop up to remind you guys to join our newsletter. It's been a while since I created a pop-up but that was only if you right click on the website. It is work in progress.

3) Is to label all episodes with the season and episode numbers- I realize it is not all labeled on the episodes and something that's been ticking me off seeing it from my phone on iTunes particularly. 

            Really it's not a lot to do but still things that are on our list of things to complete and we will get it done don't you worry. 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.

Weekly Updates for 04-11-2025

                It is time for some updates and Chris has been busy with the website and podcasts particularly. The first update is Chris has been working hard on the website and has completed the 30 minute free call and the coaching pages have been completed. He is going to be working on the newsletter next week and excited to be launching all these services and features. Also he is planning to start up weekly streams on social media again soon. He's been so busy with everything else right now. 

                    It's kind of the reason why the reason The CBOTW Show disappeared on Fridays for right now but soon as Corner Gas starts then we can most definitely have episodes on Fridays too but he wants to focus on uploading the rest of the content that he has, shorts and what not. Next week should be the end of all long form content in the way of older content, shorts continue to be uploaded.  Those are the updates for this week, stay tune for more updates and as I promised, I will let you all know when the Weekly Newsletter and coaching will start.

Weekly Updates for 04-04-2025

                   First of all, I am sorry for the really late blog, had some tech issues and had to call the boss man as he was out this afternoon and things are now fixed on my end. But this week has been interesting for us and busy as heck and rarely have time for ourselves, like boss man getting ready for coaching, adding new pages and features to the website. It is just so much going on, he's starting to doubt the podcasts and I told him not to think that way. He will find time. I mentioned why not just take one of the podcasts off video more pertaining to The CBOTW Show but he refused to so what can I do. 

                  However with this dilemma and problem, came a solution from yours truly.  I suggested he doesn't do Fridays. English please Sara!- What I mean is he drops the Friday shows to an extra day for collaboration like the upcoming. Also the bottom of boss man's list is Weekly Newsletters, which I will be actually running. What does this mean for the Weekly Updates? It will be unfortunately ending. However I will be rotating days with Chris on the blog posts and every second day and some weeks. So Chris will be doing 3 blogs post, I will be doing 2. When will this start, as soon as he puts the sign up, codes the pop up, he will let me know so there should be one at the end of next week.  Anyways, I will talk to you all end of next week.

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

Weekly Updates for 03-28-2025

         Quite a busy week again as we worked on the podcasts and getting everything ready for this afternoon and Sunday afternoon as well. Today's The CBOTW Show is actually Audio ONLY, due to some of the subject matter but you can find it under the podcasts tab on our YouTube Channel so either way you guys all get content one way or another.  Once he is finished with Entertainment Man Podcast and getting shorts done he is working on Ghostwriter later on today and this weekend to assure he's ready for next Thursday's recording session. 

       I know it gets tricky when it comes to shorts and I know he has it all under control when it comes to it. I wonder how he juggles two episodes of The CBOTW Show & the weekly episode of Entertainment Man Podcast. Chris is amazing, I can say that. He works so hard on content regularly and always working on something and I am so proud of how the team has come with it's success. Enjoy your weekend and any questions about this do not hesitate to contact us in the contact page, social media and even the comments. We encourage the comments and I will chat again at the end of next week.

Weekly Updates for 03-21-2025

           It has been an interesting week for us. First the Discord server going up in smoke cause of constant trolls and us dismantling the community on there. However Chris, Kevin, Larry, Billy and I been busy and yes Billy is been active with the community as our Head of Moderation especially on our group and YouTube Channel so welcome back to the team as he's been involved in the past and always good to see staff return after a brief break.

          Chris & Larry have recorded more episodes of The CBOTW Show both for YouTube & Audio ONLY platforms. Also Chris is posting something up today for The CBOTW Show at some point as a bonus episode and making up for the loss time when he was sick a month ago. So lots of content coming your way from the podcast department and also I believe Chris is going to stream on the Facebook Fan Page this weekend, tomorrow at some point so stay tuned for that. Have a wonderful weekend and week ahead and I will be back at the end of next week.

Getting Ready for Thursday and Friday!

            This Thursday, tomorrow (Friday), Larry and I will be recording more Ghostwriter series episodes and going to try and aim for 20 - 25 minutes for the most part. We continue to move forward with the series and excited to keep on going with this series and the future series that I am planning on both Video & Audio ONLY! Big stuff are on the horizon for The CBOTW Show. We're making some big moves and cannot wait to share all the episodes we record because we are recording in batch, both Larry and I & Bob and I as well. 

           So we will have a ton of stuff going on towards the second half of the year, lots of recording and busy busy here in the studio. Either way, excited stuff coming up for the podcasts since we have two shows currently active in our Media Network/Company. I can't talk about a lot about it right now but in due time there will be something coming out, don't you worry. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

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.

Chris
