Old Christmas Specials

            Growing up, there was a lot of different Christmas Specials that I grew up with. I might not be able to mention all of them but here is a few on my list:

Merry Christmas Mr. Bean: It has been a yearly tradition for me to watch either closer to Christmas but normally is the last of the videos that I watch actually. I love the episode cause of the part where he puts the turkey on his head is hilarious! 

Charlie Brown Christmas: I know it's an old special and I remember it a a kid and watched it a few times during my childhood. Haven't seen it in years but a lot of great memories with it. I even have seen the one with Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin for Halloween and maybe I need to get back into those. 

Frosty The Snow Man: Another classic and actually near Christmas time they use to air these on Global TV or even CBC here in Canada. A classic indeed and also was a big part of my childhood.

The Grinch who Stole Christmas (Cartoon):This was a part of my Childhood also but also has become a part of my yearly tradition now as it is always on my list of movies and shows or episodes to watch during the Christmas Season.

Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer: A classic song as well as a show that I watched growing up. Again when they aired it on one of the Canadian channels it was literally back to back near Christmas time.

              Anyways that is the post for today, big thank you to Bob for the suggestions and I have another posts suggested for tomorrow's post to wrap up any blogs for 2023! I am already ahead for blogs for 2024 already and have ideas flowing! Anyways talk tomorrow!

We Need To Talk About YouTube!

            As you guys know Entertainment Man Podcast is on YouTube and I have made a channel for The CBOTW Show on Rumble to see the amount of views I get on there to compare the numbers between YouTube and Rumble. However that is not the post for today. After Entertainment Man Podcast, that will be the last channel ChrisBOnTheWeb Media will have on YouTube. I know we've been through that song and dance before and things could change between now where The CBOTW Show goes on but 100% sure that Rumble is the plan moving forward. 

           Reason why is I am tired of the ads, I am tired of the stupid trolls I seem to drag in the process. It is just time for me to stop creating content on that platform. Plus the views are way up on Rumble then YouTube and seems to be doing a bit better. Plus the ads on YouTube has become more troublesome for us and I just don't like the ads every couple of minutes. Also with Rumble, I have an opportunity to earn money actually so this is a big opportunity but keeping Entertainment Man Podcast on YouTube and building up The CBOTW Show on Rumble. Still trying to earn money off this website but failing royally with it. However Entertainment Man Podcast will be the last channel CBOTW Media will ever own and it is what it is. However if something ever happened to Rumble then we may end up having to go back to YouTube but we will cross that path if it ever happens but let's hope not. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for yet another blog post.

Minecraft Is Fixed! [Gaming Updates!]

              Minecraft is working again, I erased the file from the app data on my PC and it seemed to have fixed the issue whether that it was the problem with having too much launchers on there that confused the heck out of the game or the game was just buggered up like no tomorrow but I have finally gotten back on and started to work on things. The only final things I need to finish on the server well I got my nieces house rebuilt and it is a lot bigger then I actually expect it to be and also what I need to finish up is the north subway line and after that is relay the track down for the west line that is actually going to remain above ground as it was but still have to put a proper station in there and that tunnel way has to be re-added back on all of the floors. 

              After that, I think I will be done with Minecraft for good. I've done everything I possibly humanly could do with vanilla Minecraft and I do not plan on playing the game for a very long time, maybe ever again as there is other games I wanna play and try out in the future which are on my list of things that I'd like to do in the very nearby future especially NBA 2K23 I want to get back to it and play and improve my character on there. Anyways, that is for another post as that is a wrap on today's blog and I will speak to you all tomorrow for the end of the week updates.

Taking Podcasting To The Next Level 2024!

            2024 will be a year of massive growth for both of the podcasts and that is what I want to talk about today:

Entertainment Man Podcast: A regular staple on here on ChrisBOnTheWeb Media and 2024 you will be seeing interviews live on the podcasts YouTube Channel. I know what about the topics if there isn't an interview that will be posted and more then likely premiered as I have been doing over the last almost 2 years now unless I am not available to be there in person for it. Also the Wednesday bonus episodes was originally going to be going all video but changed my mind due to the fact you never know what day interviews can pop up. I know it sounds a bit confusing but I have to be flexible for guests and the fact you guys love that I go live for these interviews and something I have made the decision to actually go live for those. 

The CBOTW Show: Has started to become popular and never thought we'd already be at EP 22 at this moment even tho that many hasn't yet been released and working on some at the moment. Anyways 2024, hopefully we will be seeing some collaborations on The CBOTW Show both with me and as a solo guest. Kelsie has been working on a form for potential guests to put out their ideas for a show. This can really open up the doors for potentially even more permanent hosts down the road.

         So 2024 definitely does look promising for both podcasts and excited for this big plan. I have 2 offers in collaborations already waiting to be scheduled in 2024 plus Larry and I need to finish up Power Rangers but after that our world is our Oyster. Anyways that is the post for today I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Willy Wonka Movie Review [No Spoilers]

            Back on the weekend, I got to go to see Willy Wonka which was a prequel to the one they did with Johnny Depp who is very well known with the movies Pirates of The Caribbean. Anyways Johnny Depp wasn't in this movie though. Was a different actor Timothee Chalamet was the one that  played Wonka. Also Rowan Atkinson was in this too as a Bishop which he never once disappointed us, especially one scene with him with a giraffe but no spoilers whatsoever. 

           This is a combination of comedy as there is funny parts but also it has a bit of a musical esk kind of movie and don't get me wrong their neat. I wasn't getting the vibe of the movie at the start till I got further into the movie. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie and was a fantastic movie. Just was slower for me to get right into the movie but once I did, I enjoyed it. Anyways I would give this movie 2 thumbs up as I highly recommend it to you guys to see it if you haven't. Final thoughts, I want to see the Willy Wonka with Johnny Depp and is on my bucket list of movies that I'd wanna see. Anyways I will as always talk to you all tomorrow for another post!

Toronto Christmas Market Food Review

          So CBOTW Fam, two part review! I should of taken a picture of the cookie and the Hot chocolate but I didn't... DARN! Anyways I had a Grilled Cheese sandwich with bacon which was actually grilled on an actual grill this time around and it brought a lot of flavor to the sandwich actually. It was so chewy and really good. The bacon seemed like it was a thick pieces of bacon too which is a bonus. They really gave you quality sandwich for 11.25 which is expensive enough but worth every penny. So I'd give the sandwich a 15 out of 10 as it exceeds my expectations. 

                Now we had a dessert at a place called Sweetie Pie which is a normal shop in the Distillery Distinct and I plan on tagging them on our Facebook Fan Page and hopefully they see and read my amazing review. My dad and I ordered a few things, peanut butter cookies (2) for my mom and she said it was very soft and tender and she gave me a small chunk to try and it was really good. She was very impressed. My dad and I both got the Ginger cookies and again soft in ever bite that we took. I'd give em 15 out of 10 like the sandwich above. Now we also got some warm drinks, Belgium Hot Chocolate and was very chocolaty and they even added green and red food coloring to fit the Christmas holidays. We asked them to add in whip cream for an extra buck and it was amazing. I'd also give it a 15 out of 10 as it exceeds my expectations! We will be back there when we visit again in the future outside of the Christmas event. I will highly recommend them as well. So that wraps up the reviews and events for 2023. Thank you for supporting me with all these events, look forward to returning to these events next year but in the meantime it will be full pledge content which I will talk about that on tomorrow's end of the week updates but for now have a good rest of your Thursday.

Toronto Christmas Market 2023!

              Monday, I got to go to the Toronto Christmas Market. It has been 4 years since my dad and I have been to the event so it most definitely felt good to have gone back to the event. There was a lot of vendors, soaps, Christmas Decorations, tarts, little cool nick knacks especially that it is the Christmas season now too. Lights are absolutely stunning this year. They had a ton of different vendors to many to even mention and they also had a candle and soap shop which smelled absolutely amazing. 

It was cold out but wasn't that bad once we had something to eat which I will talk about and review tomorrow on the blog which is taking up a lot of my blog space for the week which is actually fantastic, more content the better. Anyways the lights were amazing as always I really enjoyed going back to the Toronto Christmas Market and will look forward to it again next year as this wraps up events for us for 2023. That's the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for the food review.

Wendy's In Milton Ontario Food Review [12-09-2023]

           This is one food review that isn't 100% positive. Was a bunch of mixed feelings. We obviously were going out to eat after Halton Streetcar Museum and we had a hard time to finding a place and Tim's touch screen order system didn't work worth a hoot. Tim's is another story for another time.  Anyways I told the person who served me it was for eating in yet they put it for take out like hello I said I'm eating in, for crying out loud! The soda or pop as we call it up here in Canada was flat from the one machine, I poured out and tried the other.. Was a tad better cannot complain though as the carbonation wasn't there. 

          The Chicken fingers which was only 3, I mean it would be good if it was  4 or 5 and it didn't  I wasn't too hungry anyways to begin with anyways. The Chicken fingers were crispy and good. I had ranch dip and it was really really good actually. I will be doing that on my Chicken Fingers here at home. Only problem with the fries was, well cold so fast. They didn't even provide me with ketchup nothing. All I can rate is the chicken fingers 4.5 out of 5 all day long as for the others I just refuse to rate it. I'm sorry to say that I do not plan on returning to that location in Milton. That is the review, sorry if it sounds a little down. I  tried to make this positive review as I always do but I have to remember the experiences are all gonna be different each and every restaurant I go to. Anyways I will talk to you all tomorrow!
