My Decisions Aren't Always Concrete!

            I know my decisions are always concrete, Durham Entertainment Today; The Entertainment Man Talk Show; Everything About Reality TV & Entertainment Man Podcast all suffered with my not so strategic business decisions. I've been in the media industry for almost 20 years now and I am still making the wrong decisions. However, I am learning to make right decisions and I've been thinking things clearly and introducing things slowly was the best strategic move for us. 

            I am always learning from the decisions but I have started to know what's working for us and not working. Yes I could of gone to the end of the year for Entertainment Man Podcast but 2 weeks later and I know it was the best decision for us as I did feel like it was getting stale, week after week and that is usually code for it's time to move on and do other shows, other projects. I am nowhere near done with this company and 11 years is on the horizon for us and almost 2 months away till we celebrate our 11th anniversary. So YES, my decisions aren't always concrete but I know it's for a good reason and I know and has worked in the long run for us also. Anyways that is the post for today, have a great weekend and as always talk to you all Monday! Hopefully will have more news for us!

Getting into a Rhythm!

               Things have been very funky since Entertainment Man Podcast went off the air and I should of waited till the end of the year to sign off and I feel bad. However life goes on, we move on with other projects and we have a great lineup coming to you guys in October. I will get into a rythm this time around and get everything back in a rythm. Just will take us a bit of time and we are slowly getting back on track. I already have a plan and still in discussing the new show at the moment. 

               I know changing over shows or podcasts is hard especially mentally. I have struggled with that in the last week almost 2 weeks now but now we are on pace to get things rolling. We kind of have a timeline with our schedules and slowly introducing one thing at a time. We have Corner Gas already on the go, next is my solo episode on Tuesday then get Larry and I's podcast back in motion. Then try and launch the sister feed for The CBOTW Show, the "Reality TV Recap" divison of The CBOTW Show. Finally After Show with Shane and Chris start in October, hopefully. Been promoting it a lot lately to my followers and what not. Anyways that is the post for now, I will be back in 2 hours with another post.

Why do we have a lot of downtime?

            I know the lack of episodes and content compare to when we were on YouTube. However even if I am not at the computer I am always thinking one step ahead of the team and always thinking how we can improve and even post up some behind the scenes. The reason why we have so much downtime is because we are lacking in the content department. What Are we doing to rectify it?

--> Halton County Radial Museum; Videos, photos of my day out with my dad. 

--> South Simcoe Railway; Videos, photos of my day out with my dad. 

--> Try and do some occasional Saturday blogs if I find a ton of things to talk about.

--> Double up with The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies: I know Larry and I haven't started to record podcasts together yet. I will try and fill in on Thursdays if possible. 

           Trying to make things up and get back into a routine is important as we head into adding the new After Hours with Shane and Chris, hopefully October. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Terms of Use will be Updated!

            My entire team and I have spoken and have made a decision to review the Terms of Use on our website. I think it is time to review and go through everything and make sure there is the correct tweaks and I believe it will be my Director of Operations, Zoey will be running that meeting as I am only the CEO but right now there is other things we need to deal with so it is kind of at the bottom of our list at the moment.

           Obviously this has to be addressed and something that is really missing from our list of things to be completed and we have had a lot more downtime then anything else which I will talk about tomorrow but still getting work done and we just make a list of what we need to do and put it into a priority list. We will let you all know when the terms are done and what we are looking at is setting each Terms of Use so we will need to go through the entire current terms. One thing we are going to do is put the date it has been updated. We have had enough of the drama and our foot is down on this. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you tomorrow.

After Hours with Shane & Chris [More Info]

             A lot of progress has been made with the show lately and I can say that it is becoming bigger and bigger as we continue on the journey and with a month away from production set to start with Season 1 on October 10th, 2025 which is the Friday of the long weekend of Canadian Thanksgiving and what a way to launch this BRAND NEW show to our amazing network. 

            We are on YouTube and I know that raises eyebrows after having to deal with teenagers causing issues with a... Nevermind, will not go into the negatives but Shane wants to make sure it is 18+ Show and that is what we are planning to do with the show. So are we posting the YouTube version to our website? The answer is No. Will be ultilizing Spotify Video to our website alone with Audio ONLY. We are only using YouTube for the Live Version of the podcast and we will be adding the Audio ONLY version of the podcast in the podcast tab as always. 

            Live Shows will be Fridays @ 7 pm EST and posted on Sundays @ 1 pm EST on the old time slot Entertainment Man once held for the last 5 years. This is something we have never done in well almost 10 years but we are returning to a LIVE Format and there will be no drama, disrespect whatsoever. Positivity is the only thing we will allow so please do not come into our chatroom trying to cause problems as my staff will ban you faster then you can say ticondaroga. Anyways positivity Chris, right? That is the post for today, rather long winded post and as always I will chat with you all tomorrow!

Orono Fair 2025!

             Today, I got to go to the Annual Orono Fair with my dad and is always an annual thing for us and I got one of our moderators Sheldon so hyped up, he's at the Orono Fair this evening which is so cool. Maybe next year he can come with my dad and I, or even if he wants to come to the Winter Fair that is most definitely a possibility but anything is possible. So much to see and do at the Orono Fair, they have a Tractor Pull on going and started like 200 pounds then by the time we left, it was at 9000 pounds which is insanely heavy if you ask me and a Minneapolis Moline was pulling it. Also arts and crafts with also local vendors and yes I took a picture of the Zamboni as it was parked in the middle of everything as this was in the rink next to the Fairgrounds.

      You have your basic fair food, I had a basic sausage was good especially with mustard. Anyways we looked at all the tractors and yes I did tally up everything and will do a post on Monday as I will be putting the stats together either tonight or tomorrow and will do a cool different graphs and stats for you guys that I will share. Saw the chickens, goose, ducks, roosters, boy their loud! I love the fuzzy head and feet ones in my own opinion. Saw cows,  Herford and Black Angus beef which is good for Steaks and hamburger meat. Also saw sheep as well as well as Pigs and piglets already growing up. Finally saw the more modern Tractors, plows, lawnmowers, small loaders, digger and much more. We got fudge for my mom and my dad got coasters for his car drink holders which look very cool. Anyways that is the post for today, enjoy your Sunday and as always I will talk to you all on Monday!

How Am I Feeling a Week Later?

             Almost a week later after Entertainment Man Podcast, I have had a rough week with getting use to not working on episodes, interviews and what not... Yeah, I had a lot of guilt, feeling down on myself, felt like a useless piece of you know what. That is just stage of loss, stage of change in your life:

1) Feeling lost, unsure what to do next;   That has been me all week in a very odd funk but I seem to have gotten out of it and has learned to move on. 

2) Feeling down, feeling out of the loop, not wanting to do anything. 

3) Acceptance: I feel like now that I have accepted the fate of the podcast ending and down the road it can be rebooted but not 100% sure it will be.

           So what I am trying to say is I am slowly coming around and acting a lot happier and excited for the next phase with ChrisBOnTheWeb Media. Anyways there will be a post later on for Orono so I will talk to you all then!

Mountain Burger Food Review

           Last week, I got to go to a new Burger joint called "Mountain Burger." It sure lives up to it's name because the Hot Dogs and Burger are thick and some are really big depending what you ask for but the Hot Dog is one size and I placed an image of my hot dog with Mustard and fried onions. The older gentleman was so amazing to my friends and I and the service was awesome.

           It did take a bit to cook but bigger portion does take time to cook and trust me the wait is worth it actually! Soo good and so many different items to choose from, such as Hot Dogs, Burgers in different ounces, you have Chicken Burgers, fish and chips, french fries, you name it. I give both the service and food well over a 10 out of ten, more like a 20 out of 10 as it exceed's my expectations, so juicy and yummy. Fries, my friend Terry shared his fries and very good french fries. Anyways I will be going back trying something new and I shared this blog post with them so thank you to them for reading in case you do and thank you for your wonderful hospitality. Anyways that is the first post for today, I will be back after I get back from the Fair with a post so I can chat about it but I will speak to you all later on today.

Discord Server is Fully Functional!

               Discord is back up and running and I know we've been through this song and dance so much in the last 5 years. Everything is set to what it use to look like back then but it is there and I am not as active as I was before but I do see messages while I am working on content. I know I have a lot more time on my hands to work on other content but not only that I have time to interact on the Discord with you guys. 

              Everything is the same minus we've added a Meeting Room 2 and CBOTW Studio as well to the entire thing and adding a Music channel so you guys can request music and the Lara Bot will play it for you so that is one of my next projects for the server moving forward. Entertainment Man Podcast has been archived, hidden and locked from anyone seeing it but it is still active as there is a possibility of it returning the future but I highly doubt it honestly. After Hours with Shane and Chris has been added and is hidden and locked from conversation till we're ready to go next month. Anyways anyone that wants join can join here: https://discord.gg/2ABDvq6aQs

Larry and I will be Back in 2 - 3 weeks!

              I know as it is now September, Larry is back online again short time this week as it's his first week back and YES he's in the Discord Server now and the community is fully built to our specifications. I will talk about it on a blog, I have lots of ideas and the next 3 days will be cruical for us, 2 today, 2 tomorrow and 2 Friday! So what is the call Larry and I made with RETURNING to Podcasting The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies. 

             So the Tuesday slot is currently empty and if I feel up to posting up an episode I will, however, I have made it clear originally that I would put the episodes on Tuesday in the meantime and I will as long as Larry and I aren't recording but with him and I not going to be starting for another 2 - 3 weeks maybe 4, I may as well move Corner Gas to Tuesdays on a permanent basis perhaps. Most likely, him and I will start posting episodes second week in October the Hocus Pocus movies for Halloween. We may record a couple of things for November, maybe one more set of episodes of Ghostwriter but we will see how things will go. We do not have a lot of time left together till he moves. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you this afternoon.
