End of The Year Wrap-Up! [Goodbye 2025}

              Goodbye 2025 and good riddance really. Yeah I am bitter as this year has been hell for us with all the drama and what not on our team. I really wish we had team unity and getting along with each other. I always had the motto, teamwork makes the dream work. However with all these changes recently means that we are in the right direction when it comes to fixing all of the problems that has occured in 2025. Also didn't help the amount of Director of Operations, Chief Operating Officers we had plus with me off here and there because of my own mental health, especially my very late night visit to the hospital but we will not discuss that here. I think this year, we were tested to our limits on things and that could have been definitely a good part of the problem too. 

         Positive side of 2025 as I do not want to make this all negative is the change over from Entertainment Man Podcast to doing The CBOTW Show full time and even started to expand the network with that so I am excited with the new year and what is coming next for us, even if we dont cover it right away we have that option for Traitors Canada Season 4 if it is renewed. This year has been productive and the start of changes in the company and 2026 is the year of change as we try to have more fun with doing the new Talk show, The CBOTW Show both podcast continue on. That is the final post for the year and I will talk to you next year (lol)

Last 2 Weeks was Peddle to the Medal!

               Last 2 weeks was peddle to the meddle getting everything that was to be recorded, recorded, edited and scheduled for post. Also scheduling episodes then also working on the now archived Entertainment Man Podcast page. Just finishing all the little loose ends before the studio shuts down for the holidays and I may end up off till January 2nd, 2026 as I need a bit of a vacation but more than likely I will be working on the website behind the scenes but rarely any updates till it is completely finished.

       There has been 0 pressure, just gotten so much done in such a short time and proud of every moment when it comes to getting all the content done and finished so come 2026, I can officially say things are moving very quickly and getting things finished at a quick pace. Anyways that is the post for today and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Studio has become so High Tech!

            Final edition to the studio is officially here and that is my chair, an early Christmas gift from my parents and hopefully it lasts me 5 - 10 years this time around. Not just that the lights, the two cameras  the three screens, this has really complicated the setup and looks very high tech. The clock as well on the wall digital clock and the lights gives the studio quite a neat studio to step into if you have seen the studio, especially my friends and family that has been in the studio. I am quite proud of this space especially for years to come. 

         There has been so much history when it comes to this studio from it actually having a studio set for when we recorded The Entertainment Man Talk Show since 2013 when The Video Projects Team moved down to this current studio now spanning 12 years in this studio 1 year with TVPT and 11 + years with ChrisBOnTheWeb Media. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk tomorrow.

Utilizing our website and More!

                For those who have been wondering, I've been sick and have had this news for quite some time and you guys probably have seen the chatroom on our chat tab by clicking "chat" and you can easily access the chatroom and I am usually in there pretty 24-7 with the exception when I'm out on my own or with friends or my family or I've stepped away from the desk or recording a podcast with someone, I am pretty much around unless I'm out and about or recording. 

             So this is why the website has been undergoing a lot of changes to prepare it for major use as of 2026 as we want the website to be more active and we may actually add Saturdays to the blog list. We have also been actively seeing if we can do audio with After Hours with Shane and Chris and I know we can as that is what we've been doing with all our podcasts from the get go. So you will see Staff on the website chats more, we will be answering emails and social media posts and our plan for 2026 is to be more connected to you guys, answering your questions, concerns, compliments and what not. Anyways that is the blog a bit of a sporadic blog as I wanted to come on and I will explain more on a sit down video where on earth I've been the past almost week now and I will talk to you all on Monday (tomorrow) if this goes out by Midnight EST.

Thanks for tuning into our 2500th Blog post! Let's go!

Post Christmas Entry

            It is Boxing day and I still don't feel like working and decided to take a 3rd day off just because I wanted to see the Canadian Juniors game and always a tradition in this household and I love it and I believe my local juniors team has a player or two this season. Also during my time off, I can catch up on shows so I am ready for 2026 and the return of our own favorite shows, High Potential, Elsbeth, Survivor 50 to name a few.

          During the break, I sat down and played some videos like I mentioned earlier in the week. I had so much extra time on my hands to do that when it comes to the world of gaming and yes I even grinded on Super Market Simulator too to get the money and pay off every freakin loan I have. Yeah, I took way too many loans and that is my bad on things. Anyways that is the post for today, Hope you all have a great Boxing Day and enjoy your weekend and talk to you all on Monday!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays Everyone!

            Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! I cannot believe how fast Christmas has arrived for us and soon 2026 will be here. I love this time of the year, to have a ton of time off, being able to spend time with the family as I said in the blog yesterday. I cannot press how important it is to spend time with your loved ones. Life can go in a blink of an eye so this is the time to spend time with them while you can. 

         Christmas isn't all about presents, it's spending time with the ones you love. Yes it is a nice addition but it is about family. Good food, good drinks and the company is what matters this time of the year. So I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and of course a Happy New Year and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Christmas Eve 2025

            It is officially Christmas Eve and our team are having some time off with the family. This really shows us how important family means to us during this holiday season on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. However my brother, sister in law and teenage twins (niece and nephew) are away but we will be making up for it towards the end of the year. What I am trying to say is, it doesn't matter when whether it is on the day or a few days or week later you still spend time with the family.

         We wish you nothing but all the best during this Christmas Season, we deserve some family time when it comes to Christmas or any holiday. I am a very big family man when it comes to the fam here and enjoy every moment with them and I can easily put work to the side to spend time with them. Anyways that is the post for today and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Gaming Updates!

            I've been grinding on a bunch of games recently and here are the updates and plus a new game I have gotten and how excited I am for it:

Mall Simulator: I have been grinding so hard and now I have completed Clothing store, sports store and the toy store in every aspect. I am continuing on to complete stores and grow the amount of money and it will be quite some time until I provide a new update.

Waterpark Simulator: I have been so addicted and now closing in on 4 Star waterpark. I'm not sure where I am going to do when I unlock everything and get all the upgrades but I am having so much fun with this game and continue to grind towards the finish line. I didn't think I'd get this far so quickly.

Minecraft: The old and classic game that started my gaming streams back in the day, I have now completed the renovations of Rink 1. I have made significant progress on Rink 2 and I may color code the rinks eventually but Rink rink 2 walls are almost completed. I have also made a decision a solid brick ceiling with glass around. I will have more updates to give soon but I need to figure out the lines things right now. 

Theater Simulator: I have been addicted since watching Austin Plays and now TMartn2 on YouTube do a playthrough so I am going to or have gotten Theater Simulator.

          There are the updates and the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Change of Plans!

            As you can know I was planning to add video but that has changed as I am only uploading the audio only for this podcast as seeing the views gone up, I have decided to remove the video side of things and put it up on via the player on our website moving forward. Once this is done, we can officially move the heck on. I also will be OFFICIALLY deleting the feed once all old episodes are downloaded off the feed.

      Once that has been completed, then we are ready for the future and during the break from recording, I will be finishing this project up and when I said I want to have this finished by January 1st, 2026, I meant it! I just want to put this podcast to rest. Yes it was a fun project/podcast/show but it was time for me to move on to bigger and better things. Anyways that is the post for today as I have a ton more to write before the end of the year and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

We're Ready for New Beginnings!

          With 2025 coming to an end, we are gearing up for 2026 and around Christmas Post on the 24th & 25th, then at the end of the year and in the New Year you will see 5 or 6 posts as we wrap up this very tough year for us and especially with me taking time off here and there for my Mental Health. With this dramatic year coming to an end means new beginnings and I know that 2026 will be better and so much better then this year. You will be seeing a lot more happier and positive Chris moving forward.

        The line-up next year will be insane! We have quite a good line-up for the New Year and I will be starting to redo the entire schedule on the website. Again I will have more on this but we're ready for change and change is so important to continue the growth and we should of not returned in 2022 but we live and learn from this experience and use it moving forward. Anyways that is the post for the last day of the week, have a great weekend and as always talk to you all on Monday!

Starting to learn the role of Co-Host!

             As you all know by now, I am only hosting The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies and the only podcast I want to do shows as a Host. Now you all know I am Co-Host of 2 other shows, a Talk Show (Webshow) & The CBOTW Show- TV & Reality TV Recaps for the Survivor Recaps which is basically seasonal, twice a week. So I can kind of sit back have a little less to do with the show and I have started to slow down hosting every single show in our network as I am involved in pretty much everything that goes on. 

          The ONLY thing that I am in charge of is actually the recording of shows that I am involved with and the other hosts just have to record their own that I am not on. Co-Host is a very different position that I have been in the past 20 years so I am taking on a role I haven't been familar with. Am I excited? Yes! of course! This will be me starting to slow down on the host but I am going to continue to remain active with podcasts and webshows. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!
