Still Behind Schedule.... Sighs...

              Things haven't been going according to plan, we're behind schedule as it is yet again and it is really starting to annoy the heck out of me like really. I don't always complain about the workload too often nor say much what happens behind the scenes but I am quite annoyed... Not with you guys but myself. I feel anxious a bit, I feel frustrated, I feel annoyed and honestly it is good I am kind of venting. This is what being a content creator and running your own media company there is a ton of work. 

               This is why it is important to have a recording schedule and to stay on track. I feel good that this week I will be all caught up on things that I could even start streaming on weekends if I wish. However that will be later on taking it one thing at a time but by the end of the week or weekend we should be on track entirely with shows. I already have Ken's interview ready at the helm for this weekend. Anyways I am trying to be patient through this all and one step at a time. However I will talk to you guys tomorrow for another amazing blog post.

Let's Talk Entertainment Man Podcast Shorts!

                Entertainment Man Podcast has been firing on all cylinders with the Shorts game. I think I have gotten into a good rhythm with editing shorts and the podcast itself and this is a good start for me when it comes to podcasting. I am amazed how hard I've worked on the shorts and the views have been up and good that I am getting some views but still  got a lot of work to do with the channel and that's why I am only focusing on the two channels for now. 

              I love to highlight the upcoming episode which I will be doing a few days prior and after. It was suggested to me in a meeting I had this week and I am so excited for a new era of the podcast. YouTube Shorts has helped improve the numbers on the channel and gain a whole pile of subscribers so the haters can doubt the podcast all they want cause this is the most subscribers I have gotten ever. Very proud of that but anyways that is today's post for today and reminder we are back to Five days a week so Kelsie will be doing the end of the week updates so I will be talking to you on Monday and I have a pile of content for the first 2 days of the week but I will talk to you all then.

Chris

Content Schedule Changes 2025!

           As you know by the recent poll I made I have made the decision to drop the bonus episode of Entertainment Man Podcast On Wednesdays. To be honest, I don't have a topic that is less time as I go between 15 - 20 minutes long and the views for Wednesday shows hasn't been great. You guys love the long form content. So replacing that podcast is The CBOTW Show but it will be premiering on Wednesdays @ 6 pm EST. Here is the schedule starting January 1st, 2025:

Sundays: 1 pm EST- Entertainment Man Podcast (YouTube/Audio ONLY) Will be premiered

                  2 pm EST (Sporadically): Gaming Stream (YouTube/Twitch) LIVE

Monday - Saturdays: Daily Blogs

Wednesdays: 6 pm EST- The CBOTW Show (YouTube/Audio ONLY) Will be premiered

Saturdays: 1 pm EST- Weekly Chat (Facebook/YouTube/Twitch) LIVE

          So that is the schedule moving forward as we continue to grow our network and we test and add new content to the network, this is a good start for us right now. Anyways that is the post for today as always thank you for reading and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Getting Frustrated

             YouTube was a bit of a pain in the butt. Was having issues with a "Processing Error" on there and you can understand the frustration and truly my anxiety went through the roof on this. I have been fighting this for a while now. I just want to get these finished so I can move on but I think it's definitely a YouTube issue not me. However we know it is a longer episode, hour and a half long, 1 hour long and 18 minutes long so and the first and third one went up no problem whatsoever so that is really strange.

            But I continued to trying to get it up so you guys get to see this but now I need to try and keep episodes to at least an hour long for the nearby future because I have uploaded an hour podcast on "Entertainment Man Podcasts" YouTube Channel with 0 problems. Just this channel seems to be the problematic issue right now. It does sound like something YouTube related cause Entertainment Man hasn't had a problem in the past! Anyways that is the blog post for today, I thank you for reading and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Why do we have 3 YouTube Channels?

             I know things are completely now off the rails but I made a promise when it came to streaming at least weekly for Just Chatting with Gaming Stream when I had extra time on my hands and I ended up deleting the original channel which when I brought it back up I was still a Moderator in Sonal's channel and Entertainment Man Podcast's YouTube Channel which is hilarious actually. Glad I am able to keep helping my friends out with moderating their channels as well as Streaming on my own weekly with the occasional gaming stream.

            Now as you know Entertainment Man Podcast is sticking to it's schedule meanwhile The CBOTW Show sticking to every 2nd week schedule which people don't mind cause the channel is growing even on a bi-weekly schedule people enjoy that schedule. So do not worry I will figure a way to juggle all three channels but the just chatting streams will be on both Facebook and YouTube on the weekly basis. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for another blog post.

Blogs for 6 days this week and next week

          With me busy with local and events in Toronto, I have decided to expand the schedule to Saturday once again and I think this may end up being a permanent basis for the rest of the year as their has been endless amount of content. Because now, I am looking at two blog posts as of Friday which is insane to have so much content for the website it's unreal. You guys are so very lucky to have a ton of content really. 

           I think putting our blogs 6 days a week soon is going to be taking affect soon like really. I am now convinced we need to make this move NOW, not in January 2024, however I am holding onto the decision to make the switch. Because I want to see if it is needed this year or if it can wait till next year. We will see as I am already preparing for the end of the year. This blog may be a bit shorter but that is today's post and I will speak to you all tomorrow! 

Chris

Great Content coming out this week/weekend!

            This week is an exciting week. There is a ton of content both blog posts and Podcast wise! Tomorrow is the next episode of The CBOTW Show which will be going out at 1 pm EST. I know that podcast is very, very loved and a lot of love for the podcast is there especially the ones on my own. I know Larry and I haven't been very active with the ones with the both of us. But that is coming back soon. More details to come very, very soon, I promise! 

            Entertainment Man Podcast is celebrating the 200th episode and there will be a premiere at 7 pm EST. This is to help anyone that works they can also listen to it so the 1 pm EST slot will be more open and there is the TikTok and YouTube shorts that actually go up but as for content, the afternoon is more open and I am sure I will have updates as I have been working in the studio lately. I have been cleaning up the studio preparing it for Larry's return hopefully soon. But awesome content is coming stay tuned for more. Hope you guys enjoy the two podcasts this week along with blogs I have to release this week and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

I'm Recording My 500th Episode as a Podcaster!

              Tomorrow I will be recording my 500th episode of the podcast and what an amazing podcast to pay homage to the last 500 episodes I have done whether it was Reality TV, Entertainment Man or The CBOTW Show. It has been such an amazing last 500 and I never thought I would get to this moment where I would be celebrating 500 episodes as a podcaster. The next big moment will be the 1000th episode then 5000 but I am getting a little ahead of myself.

             I have you guys to thank for supporting me the last 8 years since starting this podcasting and it has been such an amazing adventure for me! I have learned so much as a podcaster and you probably will hear this for me but either way I cannot wait for you guys to hear this episode of the podcast, was a great one that I did and yes it will be premiered this weekend as I promised that I would do a premiere this weekend. But for right now that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Taking Entertainment Man Podcast's YouTube A Notch!

          I have taken Entertainment Man Podcast's YouTube Channel a notch. Meaning taking it to the next level. That is what I wanted to do with it actually. I have actually use a side called https://www.befunky.com and also https://pixabay.com for my graphics. My team and I have been using this site for about a week almost and found it so much better then Paint.Net which was what we were using previously with our graphical projects especially for my Podcasts YouTube thumbnail that you see each and every week. I have put the template of mine on the right hand side so you guys see how we do it.

          Now we also use for the graphical end for the photos adding our own selfies into the graphics to remove the backgrounds for the selfies we used a website called https://www.remove.bg/ which all 3 websites are free to use and really helps with the quality of the banners and we may end up fixing all our banners for ChrisBOnTheWeb alone to look better and look a ton better. This is definitely going to help with the views and the complainers cannot go bashing the thumbnails cause my Community Manager made it and did a fantastic job so haters can hate all they want, this is why there is a block button. Anyways that is the post, thought I'd share this little tidbit of news and already using the new graphics as we speak but I will speak to you all tomorrow for another food review.

I've Learned A lot Being a Content Creator

             After the situation with the interview I was suppose to have a guest. I have learned I need to take the time to go over the information that I am given from my guests and actually take a day to go over the information and make a decision whether it is a fit for my podcast or not. I mean I need to also know what is suitable for my podcast and what isn't. I have an issue with always saying yes and also making the decision too soon and too fast. I mean I make a decision right away and not take the time to go over information before making a decision.

           So I have learned to take the time and make a decision when it comes to not just the podcasts but even the blogs, YouTube, TikTok, business decisions regarding ChrisBOnTheWeb as well. So this has become a big learning curve for me and this actually has again opened up my mind on a lot and continue to make changes to my day to day life. That is what I want is even more growth as a creator. That is the post for today, I am going to continue to grow as a blogger, podcaster and creator and I promise to do better but as always I will talk to you all tomorrow. 

Chris

New Content Schedule!

               As you know by the rumours there is a 2nd ChrisBOnTheWeb channel called CBOTW Live which is right now coming soon as I cannot verify the Live Feature yet and I will continue to try the rest of this summer and year and hopefully get it up and running but for right now here is the content schedule for the current moment:

Sundays: Entertainment Man Podcast, YouTube/Video & Audio ONLY, 1 pm EDT

Mondays - Fridays: Daily Blog

Tuesdays: The CBOTW Show- Full House Recaps, 1 pm EST (Starting at the end of the month of July on the 25th)

Thursdays: Entertainment Man Podcast, Audio ONLY, 1 pm EDT

Saturdays: Bonus Blog Post, 11 am EDT

                    Facebook Live Stream, 1 pm EDT

          That is the schedule for the content, it isn't much really but when I open up the CBOTW Live I will be planning to stream to YouTube and sometimes Facebook. I will talk to you all tomorrow to explain what CBOTW Live will entail, etc.

Hard Work Does Pay Off!

             No matter how down and depressed I am, I always find a way through things and the hard work I put into it does pay off in the end. I mean I have a lot on my plate right now getting the podcasts and these blogs done, hard work does pay and the hard long hours we put into the content also is another major thing that certain has paid off but the late hours isn't all that great whatsoever but most of the time I am awake at that time of the night usually. 

             I have really bounced back from what I was going through with personal things that have gone through I stopped for a while and now I have been working non stop and it has truly paid off. I may not have all the blogs done for when I am away from the studio out of town so it is important to get done and also the podcasts plus this weekends but I am going to work on the next Power Rangers Podcast and it is in the back of my mind and I probably will bring it with me on vacation if I do not finish the seasons to watch but I should be done next week to start typing it up. Anyways that is the post for today and you can see hard work pays off and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

No Clue What To Blog About!

             I have no clue what to blog about today. The original post was about the Discord but that has been deleted all together cause of more drama and non stop drama so I just did away with it all together. One less headache to worry about right? I had too many headaches with this server and it is just not worth it with the headaches honestly. I have had a rough last few weeks and this week was the worse of the worse of them all. 

          With Discord gone comes a  new fun little CBOTW Community group which can be found www.facebook.com/groups/chrisbontheweb  which is the only time I will promote it. I will not promote it whatsoever after today from here on out and will not be promoting it moving forward but will be pinned to the Fan Page on Facebook. Anyways I am rambling at this point but this is a pointless blog just what's on my mind. Things in this community has been a bit of a disaster and trying to support Joe as right now he is in charge at this moment as I am still on Leave and not sure how much long till I return to the day to day operations. Anyways that is the blog for tonight, I promise you guys I will be more on time and am sorry for the late post. Today's just been super hectic and chaotic for me. Talk to you all tomorrow.

Already Planning for 2023!

           With this being the 2nd last month of the year, I have started to think about the future of ChrisBOnTheWeb for 2023. As you guys know the schedule for the collab it does mark the end of an era for seasons for us as we will be wrapping up 29 seasons by the end of the next year which brings us to 2024 where we will be doing a podcast for Season 30 in February 2024 which will mean we will be caught up. We are not sure what's next for the series but we will cross that bridge when it comes. We possible could be speeding up the process if we really want to with seasons and it could be a possibility but again we will see how far we get with prep work. 

            Entertainment Man Podcast is not changing whatsoever for 2023 just that minor extension to the bonus but you knew that already. I probably didn't mention that Larry and I will be covering two of the Power Ranger Movies but not till near the mid year at the most. However I've got a plan and without that I would be clueless what I am doing. I do need to write some episodes for Entertainment Man so I have a couple for the start of next year but I will definitely make some time for them as I got maybe 100 or a little more but that is my post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow!

When To Say Something and When To Not Say Anything

            You probably raised an eyebrow to this post title and wonder what the heck I am talking about and that is cause of some things that has gone on behind the scenes with Power Rangers Collab which I will not say what exactly what is going on but you probably noticed posts disappearing or changed around that was me doing that. The lesson from that is I should wait till I am 150% sure that we are sure we are ready to announce anything. 

              I mean I announce things but then it backfires to a point there is problems behind the scenes so I am going to just keep quiet and not say anything to you guys till we are 100% sure we are ready to go. Anyways I almost ended up doing the same thing as I did before but stopped myself in my own tracks which is great and everything and I am proud of myself cause then it would of ended up signing another new one again. When the right time to announce anything is probably a week in advance or even as you guys know me well I like to surprise you guys. Anyways that is the post for today and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Dealing With Stress

             Recently I have struggled with depression and stress and part of the depression is the stress I am going through with ChrisBOnTheWeb. I try to get the collab done in time for the 3rd but yet to really bury myself into the notes. I just did not have the time, was always busy with the interviews and one of the reasons I took some time off as I felt like I wasn't paying attention enough to the collab. Other reason was I needed some time to do more from the heart episodes but don't worry, I will be back to those by November 6th with scheduling them. I will be by then finished with the collab. I think it is more that I am not using very good time management skills right now and that is something I need to work on is my time management skills to ensure things do get done even if I was to do half on one the other half on another. 

            I have been struggling and been more in my moods lately and hasn't let up. Even on my meds for Autism it doesn't seem to have helped with my moods. I at times I end up just not functioning fully where I just wanna play video games and not work and that hasn't helped whatsoever with getting work. Been trying to motivate myself so I can get the work done and Saturday and Sunday showed it. Saturday I really tried up to late in the day I started to record and get things out. Sunday I charged hard at it and got 2 of the 3 podcasts done. Somewhere inside me  I really was trying my hardest to not let the stress and mental health get in my way. I have been fighting this for a while but not giving up. I will get all this content done and I will catch up. I know I can, just need to give some positive reinforcement with myself and I will get myself caught up cause I know I can do it. Anyways that is the post for today and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Entertainment Man Podcast-- YouTube Channel is Doing Well!

                 Recently I have seen the growth of the channel not subscriber wise but viewer wise it has done extremely well spanning between 20 and 50 views an episode or per video per week as it is a weekly thing.  To be honest I do not mind the weekly thing as you guys know another certain channel of mine is returning soon and sooner then you expect to be quite honest.  Anyways, ever since that 2.1k video the channel has sort of blown the heck up and it is quite interesting how one video gives you a boost in viewership. I also didn't think that you guys would be interested in hearing what I had to say about how The Video Projects Team, should of had a contract. I mean I never thought you guys still cared about the old team that has now been gone for almost 8 years and still gets love no matter what happened to the group.

                The fact I am sharing my stories from all the different series that I was on I really, really think you guys enjoy those and I have a ton of different stories to tell you guys, little details. However those years are very faded in my memory as I am now pushing 40 in the next couple of years, my memory is starting to fade of those days. Maybe I am just moved on fully from creating web series now perhaps. However I will never forget those days where I actually did the web series but now I am fully focused on the podcasts and blogs now and that is always a priority. I am so off topic now which is normal for me as there is so much to say on these posts and also on the podcast. I honestly wish I did Entertainment Man Podcast on YouTube from the get-go, meaning the beginning when I started it and I could have a ton more subs and views but cannot dwell that and to be honest, I am glad one of my guests I had on the show talk me into going back cause it feels like I never left the platform. However I wanna talk more about YouTube this week and I will be doing 2 more posts but will spread it out between today and Wednesday this way it will not be all clumped together. Anyways that is the post for today I will talk to you all tomorrow.

CBOTW Studios YouTube Channel Is Returning?

                Yes there has been rumours CBOTW Studios is returning and I dispelled those rumours over the weekend with an Image which you can see to the right side of this post today and also this message: "Preparing for CBOTW Studios #YouTube Channel return on 01.01.2023" and I know I made a cryptic message hinting the return but not what exactly will be on this channel and what to really expect. This is why I am making this exact post to explain what the exact plan is with this new channel and to when you can see content and other amazing things on this channel. However I wanna say this I am super excited and stoked to be returning with this channel and it was long wait for it to return to this channel. I know my computer isn't the best computer in the world till I get the new computer in 2023 hopefully but I am making the best of the situation.

              Now what can you expect on this channel, well you can expect this:

- Live Streams (Which will be sporadic streams till I find the time to have regular schedule for the streams) Will be a variety of gaming streams and just chatting streams, it'll change from time to time.

- Past Streams (I have 2 past streams to post up on the channel that I have waiting in a folder here on my computer and will be the first of few things I do post.)

- Behind The Scenes Look (Behind the scenes look what goes on in the studio and I have some things to post up for you guys first before any new content so I will be posting those before I start anything else.)

- Minecraft: Aftermath (Video my niece and nephew did few months ago that I edited together and posted. Also I will be posted the bloopers that went on with the creation.)

             Streams will not be happening for a while, I have a ton of older content to post and I will let you guys know when the streams start in the New Year. Right now there is a ton of stuff to post up and get this channel growing and I will have more information as we reach towards the end of the year. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow.
