Plans After This Pandemic?

              The plans moving forward after this pandemic well I am not planning too far ahead as right now, we are in currently in lockdown and I am not even thinking about this and this has been requested yet this is why I am making my post. I'm sorry, I just cannot think clearly right now, processing things right now and I know I sound annoyed and I assure you I am not, just frustrated with the fact that I am stuck in this damn lockdown in the house not able to go far minus the corner store here and there and this pandemic has really taken a toll on me mentally especially sleep wise. Anyways I am off topic right now the one big thing I look forward is seeing my friends and family again and able to see them physically in person again and this is why I have started to show my frustration on here and I just cannot bottle it in and I know it isn't easy to write this post. Anyways, off topic once again, the next thing I am looking forward to is being able to record with Larry and my alum in this studio again as it has been awful quiet around here not being able to have them in the studio to actually record and maybe it's one of the reasons for the Collaboration Podcast going on hiatus? Yes I put a question mark as I am not sure really but I am trying to be optimistic to having him back in studio physically soon but we will see how things go with this vaccine this upcoming year.

           

                So really I have 2 big plans to see friends and have my Co-Host over but again like I have been rambling on in this posts I am not thinking too far ahead right now till we are out of  this lockdown and down to Red or even the yellow level once again but that will come in time right now I am focusing on now and what is happening but I plan on not rushing myself after this pandemic is over because we do not know how much longer this pandemic will be lasting and we do not know know how long it will take for the vaccine to be distributed.  So I just do not wanna promise or make plans because soon as things hopefully get back to normal, first thing I have to figure out is my bus situation as right now, I got no regular bus service but more about that in the New Year as that is a post alone itself but I am planning on actually taking my time with going out once this is over.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [12-27-2020]

         This is the final updates for 2020 as this is the last Sunday of 2020. I have replaced the other Management Team/Site Admin once again 4th or 5th replacement and the site cannot update itself and Chris hired me to take care of the website and already made a couple of adjustments more with the chat but that will come later in this post. Anyways here is the updates:

Website: Chat continues to be running 24-7 and has been very quiet lately and not used but the views still seem to climb on on the "Community Lounge" which means people are popping in and out of the page and nearing 600 views for the past few weeks. Please feel free to pop in and chat, I am in there most of the day and sometimes up to 6 or 7 pm in the evening but usually in there between 9 am and 6 or 7 pm depending on the day and what Chris has or needs me to do. 

ChrisBOnTheWeb Management Team: The Management team consists of myself, Matt as the Site Admin, Billy Assistant and Senior Advisor to Chris. We are keeping the team small and not expand the team as there has been questions about joining the team and right now we wanna keep the team small as Chris's wish for right now.

Collaboration & Interviews for Entertainment Man Podcast Opportunities: However Chris is looking into Collaborating with others in the New Year and am looking into it and it would go under it's own Collaboration Page and also he is open to Interviews and swamping guest spots on his own podcast Entertainment Man Podcast so if interested. please email him cbotwbiz@yahoo.com if you wish to collaborate with him or be a guest on his podcast.

            Chris has returned for 4 days before off for 2 days during New Years Eve and New Years Days before his BIG return in 2021 with NEW content and bringing some great content that he has in mind. He will be blogging which means he will be typing a post up tomorrow on the day of instead of pre-written which he has 2 more pre-written and ready for the 31st and 1st of the year. If I do not post at all this week, I want to wish you all a VERY Happy New Year and I will speak to you all in the New Year.

The Sims 4 Got Corrupted.... Wonder Why With The Shenigans I Have Done In Game!

               Well R.I.P. Sims 4 Game of mine, game officially stopped working and maybe I went way overboard with the craziness and stupid things I did with the sims whether they were outside while a thunderstorm happened and they got electrocuted or the house went up on flames I can see why the game randomly got corrupted, I corrupted my poor sims and abused them way too much that the game just completely stopped working. I uninstalled the game and re installed and I haven't been in the game as of yet and I am afraid to try and load it up see if a fresh reboot but if I have to actually erase the file from App Data which erases all the houses I built and all the Sims files would be completely erased which means I would have to start from scratch but maybe that is something I need to do and it might fix the issue. However I got some free content and I bought another additional to the list which I do not remember which one I got as I have a lot of extra content and expansions to the Sims 4. However this one only costed me $6.99 which was on sale due to Christmas.

           

                Either way I will keep you guys in the loop on things when I start to play the game and anything that has changed and whether I actually have  to rebuild my files from scratch again and if I do I may just re-create the Sims 4 Big Brother House and start playing the game again. I actually enjoyed watching them get under each others nails and fighting and arguing and overall drama happened. Was very entertaining for me to watch and sometimes I didn't have to press anything just follow em around and see their interactions and that one time everyone died cause the stairs to the lower half of the house was missing was the most weirdest thing that I have ever seen. I hope to have an update just after Christmas as I plan to play over my time off from things and hope to have some kind of updates on the game as I have OFFICIALLY quit playing PGATour2k21 due to them resetting my character all together and messing up my current career.

Merry Christmas! (Christmas 2020)

             I just wanted to write a short message to wish you all an Merry Christmas and hope you all make the best of this holiday, despite the circumstances this year with the pandemic. Please do stay home, stay safe, follow all the restrictions that you are under. Breaking the rules just to see family is definitely not worth it honestly, there is a thing called Zoom Call or Skype or Discord or even Facebook Video call or even better yet, FaceTime which I use quite often during this pandemic with friends as I am staying in touch. Even a phone call you can also do, there are tons of ways you can talk to your love ones during this pandemic. Anyways I am rambling on right now and I wanna say is stay safe, stay home, wash your hands thoroughly and just enjoy Christmas with the family in the immediate household and there will be a time you will your loved ones just have to be patient as we are just coming out with the vaccine for this entire thing. I am still having dinner with my parents since I still live with them and thankful to be with them still and taking care of them and helping. Either way please do enjoy your Christmas, make the best of it and I will be talking to you guys tomorrow and apologies for a very short and sweet post but I promise you guys it will be longer down the road as I am trying to do this in a few short hours so you guys got some kind of post coming out.

What Are My Plans For Christmas?

             What are my plans for Christmas this year? Nothing, my parents and I for right now, really cannot do anything this year since the rule of Quarantine is 5 people and if I had my aunt, uncle and Grandma here that breaks that rule technically. This goes for my brother, sister in law and niece and nephew so we may have to have a driveway visit to exchange or just leave gifts on their porch or something really but this year there is absolutely no plans for us at this point as we are currently in the Red stage of this pandemic and could be seeing the grey level and a potential lockdown.  However we are making the best of this entire pandemic and what is most important for us to do what we need to do to remain safe and home. As you know by the time you are reading this I am enjoying my spare time before continuing on with some new content for you guys.

               This will not be a very long post today as I am pre written a ton of the posts that I made over the weekend so I can make sure to get posts out to you guys on a timely manner and I am sure I am doing a fine job getting the content out to you guys even during the holidays and while the studio remains dark for the few days I am away from recording or working on content. So it will be a quiet Christmas and honestly that is OK to have it even though I really wanted to be with the family at this time of year and nothing we can do, if we are in a lockdown then it is what it is what it is and just have to keep following the rules. Anyways I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Eve and I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

What TV Shows Do I Want To Watch During Quarantine?

                Trust me while we are still in Quarantine or Isolation whatever you guys want to call it, what show do I want to watch during Quarantine? Well I have completed almost two seasons of Survivor; I have completed Survivor Amazon and have or still working on Survivor Philippines at this moment. Anyways here is my list and there is no order really.

Survivor: Season 9, Survivor Vanuatu; Season 13, Survivor Cook Islands; Season 5, Survivor Thailand; Season 3, Survivor Africa; Season 8, Survivor All-Stars; Season 11, Survivor Guatemala.

Super Store: A show, Eric actually introduced me to, all I know it is a Comedy or American Sitcom so I will have to wait and see if I like it. I gotta watch 6 seasons to get all caught up with.

Facts of Life: Another show I wanna watch from start to finish and really I need to watch the entire series from start to finish. I have seen episodes in the past and really enjoyed them.

Last Man Standing: As I heard the series is sadly coming to an end after a lot of seasons and I wanna watch it from start to finish and another big series to be caught up on and I am sure I will get to it eventually between working on Power Rangers Collab Stuff too I'm sure. 

Home Improvement: Working on this series currently and laughing hard at Tim's stupid comments and shenigans and always a great laugh to have honestly. 

 Monk: Wanna watch it from start to finish once again as watching the YouTube channel is wanting me to watch the entire series again for old time sake.

Super Girl: I have seen Seasons 1 - 3 so far and I need to watch Seasons 4 & 5  on my list so I am ready for the 6th and final season which has already started taping the final season as I know of according to Eric.

War Documentaries: I have DVD's from my uncle about the World War and they are quite interesting and are on top of my priority list so I can get them back to him soon as possible.

Amazing Race 7: I wanna re-watch this seasons as I am a Boston Rob and Amber fan since All-Stars and I wanna hear his infamous "THAT'S TOO BAD!" line in Episode 1. That was a great season honestly.

                There is my list and sorry for a very endless post and I can get to these shows and get them done and this list can get smaller and I can start another list unless we continue to be in quarantine and I am sure it will be for a while now so least this gives me something to do on my extra time besides working on Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast as once I finish Dino Thunder, I will not be working on that till February.

What I Have Learned From The Most Recent Collab and Things We Can Improve On....

                 The most recent episode of Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast, was eye opening and a lot of learning for using the Mix-Minus setup and still a ton to learn with this. As you know as I mentioned on Social Media I couldn't hear Larry and I kind of figured that it had something to do with the mixer board and don't forget I had added the wires to the board and it was truly something to do with the mixer board. Anyways I apparently was messing around with the mixer and pressed a button on the Mixer which activated the lack of sound going through the board onto the recording. Either way the issue was quickly fixed and we recorded. This was very eye opening with this first collab with the Mix-Minus and we have a ton of learning to do and the levels on the mix-minus setup which is a knob on the board I turn to bring Larry onto the recording of the podcast. This was also the first time we actually used it as I haven't had it that long now, only a few weeks and it was not used since last week's recording so it was untested and I can definitely see us running into issues.

                   Anyways, the point of this post is we still gotta continue on working on levels and we do not really have much to improve just continue on working on levels and ensure we can hear Larry. One thing I am proud of is the conversation between Larry and I and he wanted to get involved and there was times he wanted to chime in and I let him say his peace and he answered my questions too. What I am trying to say is the interaction was a lot better and we're getting better as we continue to progress with the podcast. I have learned a lot from this experience and things are just getting a ton better and the quality of production is getting a lot better now we have this setup just getting use to this new setup. Things are underway and we are getting there with this setup with this hiatus coming very soon we will have plenty of time to change the way we do things. I still gotta talk to my right hand man on this to what the plan is moving forward. Anyways enjoy the pre-written blog posts over the next 4 days, Merry Christmas and I will talk to you all on Monday as I do not normally write posts on Sundays.

I Have Returned! Where Have I Been?

               I have Officially returned to posts and honestly I know I went away and there was a ton of drama with my team and I ensure you what is going on between my team and I, we're fine, the 3 of us are completely fine and I know I lost 3 likes on the page but that's OK I'll rebuild it and I have reached out to some peeps in the past to see if I can bring back a fan that supported me originally. Working my magic right now. Anyways to why I was missing in the last entire week last week is no secret why I disappear for a week is because of the Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast as I was working so hard on getting notes finished and I did finished up the notes and we recorded and it was a very big success despite some minor hiccups but it was a technical issue within the mixer and my doing, pressing the darn buttons and the issue I was having was I couldn't hear Larry very well on the mixer and I feared we almost postponed or used a different source of recording.

               However, I started fiddling with the mixer and it worked and we were under way and recorded 2 hours & 22 minutes worth of content. We put a ton of time and effort into the content which is why it does so well for us and goes to show we are doing something right and you guys have been enjoying it 2.5 Years later.  This week is me editing the collab and starting up Dino Thunder before my 4 day breaks during the holidays and hopefully  back to the grind on Sunday morning when I get things underway all the way to New Years Eve. Trying to get notes done just before New Years so this way I am able to actually start typing in the New Year so Larry and I can record mid January 2021 at the most. So that is where I have been is Collab work right now. You will see 1 more live blog tomorrow from me but then it's all pre-written for the next 4 days while I'm off spending time with my parents since we're in a full pledge lockdown but will make the best of it. Anyways I will talk to you guys on tomorrow's post.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast Hints Chris Is Giving You Guys!

               Chris made me do this post specifically for a reason. To tease you guys for what is to come in 2021. Yes Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast is coming back in 2021 and Chris given 3 different months for me to hint to you guys and why:

April 2021: If all goes well and quoting Chris's words from him that if all does go well and notes are ready to go he will be ready to go back to the Collaboration Podcast sooner. 

May 2021: This is the back up plan if worse comes to worse as I said he has a 3 different ideas in mind and depends how well he does with the planning of the Collaboration Podcast.

June 2021: This is the final month he has planned in the back of his mind and honestly I think this is the month he will be returning so it sounding like by his conversations with myself and Larry this is the set month he will be returning OFFICIALLY. He's hinted that you never know he could be back in studio together and yes he is being optimistic about it. 

 

               What it is sounding like it will be an 6 month Hiatus then the PR Collaboration Podcast boys will be back in the saddle again. Do not forget they also have to still do Dino Thunder in January and just maybe he's actually hinted the final collab before the break live on Facebook but will have to wait and see honestly. Hope this gives you guys a clue to what he is up to and he is truly up to no good and let him have his fun, LOL. He's doing it for a reason I'm sure. ha-ha!

What Needs To Be Tested With The New Mix-Minus Setup?

          Now that Chris has the Mix-Minus setup and he has it all hooked up and it does work, there is some things that he needs to do with Larry to ensure it works as Chris is no longer using OBS for recording and strictly this setup. Here is what he needs to do over the next few months while testing and making things work great:

- Chris has to work on the levels on both sides, his mic and the guest side of things via Discord or Skype as it hasn't properly been worked out and I think this is why he is thinking about his first guest interview will not be till the end of the month of January.

- He still has to learn how it works and figuring out how to not make the earphones squeal as that has become a problem with the excessive squealing and I've heard it over the phone and it ain't pretty that's for sure.

- He also has to figure out how to run his intro and not stream it into the guest on Discord or Skype as it will come back to the recording and it could be a problem indefinitely be a problem and I suggested he don't have the volume on Larry or any of the guests on at the time and they probably hear it through the mic a bit I'm sure.

- He will also test both Skype and Discord on two different nights to ensure it works on one or the other technically and to which one of the two are the best for recording a podcast and I am sure both will work just fine.

             These are the things he needs to work on and learn how it works and it shouldn't take long but with the collab is him getting the next collab notes finished up and that is just one of the reasons why there is a hiatus is the notes are so far behind schedule but least you get Entertainment Man Podcast in the time being while they work on catching up but more information coming tomorrow as there is a part 2 to all of this but different topic tomorrow, until then, have a great rest of your day!

Kelsie, CBOTW Management

State Of The Studio Closure (Updates)

           I have some information that Chris wanted me to share with you guys since he is indeed off this entire website from posts and I have written posts for the entire week in one night. As you guys know the studio has been closed for an entire 9 months now and the update is at this point of this COVID-19 Pandemic, Chris has made the decision to extend the closure up to June 2021 at this point. Now I know what your going ask what about the Collaboration Podcast. Remember when he announced on Oct 27th, 2020 there would be an hiatus of the Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast and up to June 2021 there are no plans to start up the Collaboration Podcast, but I can hint it will be in June sometime and another announcement is to come eventually as Chris and Larry are going to be working on fixing it. Another blog post to come about this tomorrow with some information the boss man has given me to tell you guys on a hint to when it could return and what not. He's up to something and I know it. 

 

          So this not affecting the collab and Chris will still be working on Entertainment Man Podcast and probably will be working with Larry on constant testing on the new mix minus setup which will make things a lot easier and he has the setup and has tested it all together. But he's not tested it all. But that's another post to do that i will do in the coming days. I am exposing the inner workings of ChrisBOnTheWeb. Chris prays and hope even by June to be able to see Larry in person again but that will all depend on the state of this pandemic. He will be making a further decision by June of next year to what the next stage of this closure is and if there will be restrictions or if he will continue to keep it shutdown publicly to the team as I have not been there but been in close contact via phone and video chat to any updates that he has and keeping an eye on him how he's doing with his mental health.

Holiday Schedule December 2020/January 2021

               This is his usual time, I am talking about Chris, well he normally takes 2 weeks off no work nothing to do with ChrisBOnTheWeb, well use to but takes certain days off and works the other days and he has sent me an email with dates to when he's in the studio working and when he's taking time off. So without further ado, here is the schedule starting December 23rd, 2020 till January 2nd, 2021:

Dec 23rd - Dec 26th, 2020: Chris is out of the studio not working whatsoever.

Dec 27th - Dec 30th, 2020: Chris will be in the studio working, may be half days, may be full days, depends how he's feeling.

Dec 31st, 2020 & Jan 1st, 2021: Chris is out of the studio not working on content at all.

Jan 2nd, 2021: Chris is back in the studio back to work on content.

                  

                In total he will be taking 6 total days off which is probably enough time for him to decompress from a busy year moving forward which is good and I will be around. Now he has mentioned that the Community Lounge Chat will be Locked Down Dec 24th/25th, 2020 for Christmas & also Dec 31st, 2020/Jan 1st, 2021 as we wanna enjoy our time off from working around the clock for you guys and we rarely shutdown chat for holidays but we are making the exception this time around. We need a break but both Chris and I have email on our phone and we constantly go our eye on the email and ready to answer you during this closure.
