End of The Year Review [2023]

           This year has been very dark and gloomy for us as we've been through so many team changes to the point of me just getting rid of the Community Manager or Community Director Role to have an assistant help us out. We may have a small company with 3 of us together as a team but we're mighty. I think we're most definitely on the right track with that. Also I took a lot of time off to deal with my Grandma and former Team member Sophie passing away which derailed a lot of things in this company and one of them being Power Rangers Podcast that is suppose to have been done by now and awaiting Cosmic Fury, season 30 in the New Year which is like T-13 hours from happening but NO. We have fallen off the tracks and now behind schedule even more. 

            Positive things was the positive feedback Entertainment Man Podcast got from you guys and you have really enjoyed the episodes and how motivating and inspiring I have been to you guys which I tend to continue on with that in the New Year when it returns on the 8th of January, 2024? I am just spitballing there on the date as I'm writing this on the 4th of December. Also The CBOTW Show has shown a lot of growth and now surpassed it's 20th episode both with Larry and I and on my own. Plus the accolades GoodPods have given us with being on the charts constantly shows we are very much in the right direction with the podcasts. So with that, this wraps up blogs for 2023 and I will speak to you on Jan 1st, 2024 for the first blog of the year.

Happy New Year!

End of The Week Updates [12-29-2023]

              This is the last end of the week updates ChrisBOnTheWeb Media is doing for 2023. Who would of thought that I, Kelsie would be filling in for Chris this week as he's pretty busy working on things today and tomorrow before he's off for 2 days for the New Years. As you know Entertainment Man Podcast is off air now for the holidays and returning a week Sunday, who would of think it would be back on the air sooner then we expected? Chris has made it official that he has opened interviews requests for 2024 and you can email him @  entertainmentmanpod@gmail.com if you would like to be a guest on his podcast. 

             The CBOTW Show is in full swing still even with his other podcast off the air, he has been recording non stop and the rumors spreading since I mentioned that Chris is planning a mid week podcast in the New Year on January 3rd, 2024 for his other podcast so sounds like a pop up podcast is coming your way even if it is just posted and not premiered. Not sure what angle he's coming from this idea but time will tell what he's thinking. He's still working on the upcoming Trains, Planes and Automobiles he's working on, plus working on the new Entertainment Man Podcast episode and the schedule table for 2024 before he heads over to the old computer to work on Power Rangers before but we will see how far he gets today as he does have to go out this morning. But that is what we have been up to for ChrisBOnTheWeb Media and  big thank you to Chris for giving me this opportunity, I will talk to you all later and see you around the community!

Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer-- Funny or Just Cruel?

                The song Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer is a funny song but I've listened to the song a bunch and some of the LYRICS are funny but sometimes it feels cruel but I understand it is just suppose to be a silly song for Christmas time. But I do think some of the lyrics for the song are a little cruel but yet again it's a funny song. The hoofs on the forehead and incriminating marks on her back is a bit much. 

                  I know it's funny but the more I think of it is very much cruel of a song. at the start but the rest just goes along with the start of it so honestly I am half and half on whether it is funny or just cruel. It is just hard to dissect this as I spent a lot of time on looking at the lyrics but let me know what you guys think in the comments below and be sure to hit follow on the right hand side if you want to see more content like this. That is the short blog for today but will speak to you all tomorrow!

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!

Thank You For An Amazing Season!

            I know there is still the Christmas Special left for Entertainment Man Podcast but the 4th season of my podcast is pretty much a wrap for the year! I wanted to take this time to say thank you for an amazing season, all the wonderful guests for coming on the podcast this year. Especially the return of our good friend Shane which you may see him sooner then you think... Hint... hint double hint... LOL! Yeah I'm up to something clearly! 

           This year push a lot of limits for me, from being sick dealing with loss this year, I've managed through it all this year. I can say this, next year will be even BIGGER then this year and I started to type last year thinking it is 2024... Not yet! It is because of you guys Entertainment Man Podcast seen a lot of growth and I will talk about it on the podcast this week on Friday. However 2024, I will be taking things up a level and interviews will be LIVE which for right now you will have to wait till Wednesday for that post as that is the blog post for today.

End of The Week Updates [12-15-2023]

             Another week has ended and time for another end of the week updates:

Christmas: Christmas Day there will be no blog whatsoever. We are planning to take the time off. Speaking of that we are planning to close the studio from Dec 23rd - 26th for a break so the emails will not be answered till Dec 27th so if it is an emergency but put it as part of your subject and myself or one of the team will be sure to answer it as soon as possible.

The CBOTW Show: Well, that has been a struggle as everything else seems to come up at the moment. This weekend I hope to be switching to the old PC to get working on that. Eyes was on me recording a bunch yesterday which I did in order to stay on schedule. 

Website: Big thanks to Kelsie, we now are recognizing some of the people who contributed to ChrisBOnTheWeb Media & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com over the years. Won't be recognizing people who I ended on bad terms obviously but got at least 4 people on there to start with. Will update it when we need to update it. Right now it is not a priority at this moment. I can say this feature has been very loved by the community and thank you for the positive feedback you guys have given us since this addition.

           Those are the updates for this week, have a fantastic weekend and as always I will talk to you guys on Monday for another week of blogging!
