End of The Week Updates!

                In this update, I will be talking about some of the things I completed and are working on. Also will give you guys an Minecraft update as well at the end of the update. First, gotta get to ChrisBOnTheWeb related:

- Weight Loss Updates Resume Next Week: I have started to get more serious on losing weight and will be providing you guys with an update next week on my weight loss journey. 

- 3 Entertainment Man Podcast Podcast Episodes Being Edited: I have officially finished up editing all 3 episodes and range between 18 and 19 minutes on each of the episodes and I have it ready to go when it's time to upload the episodes to the website.

- Entertainment Man Podcast Notes: I couldn't sleep so I was in my studio writing notes as I still have a long way till the 27th and final episode of 2021. I do have ideas and with episodes already edited and prepped I got more time to work on this and get them all finished for this year.

- Power Rangers SPD: I am aiming to start working on this season again soon, hopefully by start of next week so I can finally get typing the notes and send them out to Larry so he has them for when it is time to record at the end of July. Also with a new NDA he has to sign and send back and I will photocopy it and he will get his copy sent to him when he gets the Mystic Force/Operation Overdrive/Jungle Fury/RPM Notes which will be quite a delivery of notes for him and he doesn't know that I am sending him a slew of notes in one package, LOL. He will also get a copy of the NDA up to the end of Ninja Steel as we haven't had one since the end of the Roundtable and Zordon Era.... ha-ha!

                 Now to the Minecraft updates: My nephew and I OFFICIALLY made the field bright enough the monsters won't spawn. The bad news is I haven't put lights in for the main floor of the stadium as I have been busy laying down the dirt for the next stadium build which is a baseball stadium which will be a massive project to build so been setting the forest on fire to clear a path for this but should get back to the football stadium completion soon. Also I tinkered with the arena and put lights under the ice hoping it'd light up but no luck whatsoever it just gotten darker again so I have to put everything back the way it is and let my nephew fix that issue.  Those are the updates for this week and I will be back Monday with a brand new week of posts. So have a great weekend everyone and I will talk to you all Monday!

First Time Having Deep Fried Pickles!

                    This goes a long way back to the point of me still in College for the 2 years I was in college. This was like between 2010 - 2012. Anyways, there was an event for a freshmen I guess so to speak and it was like a BBQ that we had over at the Campus Pub. Anyways there was a bowl of deep fried pickles and I thought, you know what, I am going to try this and see and I wasn't sure what to really expect and this might of actually been the first time I actually had Pickles all together. Maybe, not 100% sure to be honest. The first time I had it I thought, mmm this is good! I actually really enjoyed it and was different to be honest. It was very, very different and to be honest, I'd have it again in the very near future. 

                   All it really is breading around a pickle and it is deep fried. It's not cold it is a room temperature and I am not afraid to try something new to be honest. I more open now then I was for trying something new which is good. I'm sorry this post isn't very very long, its a very short and sweet post and I wanna keep it short since I am late for the post today. I apologize for the late and the not so excited post today but I wanted to do something. Back to what I was saying, if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it, especially if you like dill pickles especially it is truly recommended. Anyways that is the post for today and I will see you in the next post next week, Savannah will explain on tomorrow's post.

Entertainment Man Podcast Is Doing Quite Well!

               This is a week of so many updates with things, changes and what not. I failed to tell you guys how well it's done. It has become quite popular. As of yesterday afternoon the newest episode almost at 20 views. It keeps growing and growing. This is what I wanna see with the podcast is growth. To be honest it's done a ton better then any podcast I have done in the past years. I am so proud of this podcast and everything it has become. It is nice to finally have a sense of accomplishment and this is only the start of this podcast to be honest, this is just the beginning of what's going to be an amazing podcast. I am so thankful for you guys listening in to every week and it is because of you guys I continue to produce and host episodes of not just this podcast but both podcasts. We, yes I am including my old pal Larry as he's heavily involved with the collaboration podcast. When I started Entertainment Man, I had no clue how well the podcast would do. I was very surprised after a year of doing this podcast on and off to quite honest with you guys.

             I want to take the time to also thank each and every one of you guys for the love and support you guys have given me during this journey. I know things haven't been solid in the last year but you guys supported me through the thick and thin of things and I am planning to stay with the projects I am doing for a long time and not planning on any other project in the nearby future. I wanna focus on getting this podcast on a good pace before starting anything else starts at the start. Anyways thank-you again, you guys are such amazing fans and I am thankful each and everyone of you guys! Until tomorrow, enjoy the rest of your day!

Why Did I Switch From A Facebook Fan Page To A Group?

               I know this has been a question for a few weeks now why on earth I changed from a Facebook Fan Page. Well somebody or somehow I got reported to Facebook for misleading content and was unable to earn money from Facebook all together but I do not even earn a single post from Facebook. I have one source of income which I will not say so the trolls do not try and get me demonetized, doing that for my own safety. However recently I felt like the move was a dumb move as 60 likes is a heck of a lot. It probably was the biggest bonehead move I ever made but the way I think of it, I can pin a lot of announcements to the group this way compare to a fan page. Yes it's only 19 members in the group right now and that's fine and anyone can join as its visible to the Facebook Community. I will get more members I'm sure down the road, there will be a place and time for that to happen.

                 I know we had a few members on the group leave and that was cause of the drama going on in that community. Both Savannah and I had to ban 2 individuals after all the drama and this really has me wondering if I just made the wrong decision to stop having a fan page for this group. I wish I actually kept the fan page at this point but I can pin more then one thing at the top of the group so it has that plus. Anyways I am going to continue on with this group and if we lose a ton more to a point of 2 - 5 members, then yes, I'd consider closing it down but for the most part, I plan on keeping the group going and running regardless of the past few weeks, I am moving forward. Hope this explains a bit why I switched over and hopefully things improve for the better of the group. I will talk to you all tomorrow morning at 11 am EST for the usual blog post.

Spelunky 2 Video Game (What Happened To Me Playing The Game?)

            I know this hasn't surfaced in months, maybe since last year at the most. I wanted to give it a fair shake at a review. This game definitely has some differences from the original game and it's quite tougher especially the big ball guy that tries to run you down and I actually got a chance to play it with a remote and actually found it a ton easier to play with compare to the mouse and keyboard. I really should of given it more of a chance but I found it hard to get passed the Jungle and that is where I actually made it up to the Jungle portion of the game and I think I just kind of gave up after that at that point. However I am planning to resurrect the game again and actually plan on playing the game once again. It's been a long coming since I've played the game and it will be a thing soon enough. I think the fact I got play frustrated with the game didn't help and I pretty much raged quit. 

            Like I said I plan on making that change soon and I wanna go in depth with the video and I need to get a little more deeper into the game to have that opportunity. This also goes for the original Spelunky which I haven't been playing. Most of the time I've dug into The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth + and Minecraft from time to time when I have the time. So eventually I will get back to it but I wanna continue with the game and give you guys that review you guys have been long awaiting for. Anyways that is the post for today.... HOWEVER, there will be a bonus post that is coming out this afternoon at 2 pm EST, 3 hours from when this post went up on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com.

Made Some Podcast Changes!

               I wanted to give you guys a full explanation on the changes I made to Entertainment Man Podcast. As you probably noticed on the feed that the podcast has continued on passed 9 episodes. Their is a reason behind this: I feel like 9 episodes and then starting a new season isn't right. It doesn't sit right. With this podcast having seasons isn't sitting well with me to be honest. I think going by 2020, 2021, 2022 and so on is the better idea. A full year doing the podcast is the way I wanna do this and non of this season 1, 2, 3 business anymore. I wanna change things around and take action before it is too late to make the changes. Now the link will not change whatsoever, I am not about to take down the entire 2021 season and re-upload. No way Jose, too much additional work to do and I am leaving it be. However the title has been changed to: Entertainment Man Podcast (2021), with the episode # and title of the episode of the podcast.

              This is in effect immediately. I wanna make this change right off the bat and from here on out and you will what I said above on a weekly basis. Now nothing will be changing with the Collaboration Podcast. This came to me on late afternoon and I decided to start making the changes. All episodes moving forward will be this way. Anyways I definitely think this is the best move. Also the last final thing I wanna say is Entertainment Man Podcast now has a brand new intro and VO (Voice Over) and big thank you to Jimi from The Record Machine Show for doing this and I know he didn't have to but he wanted to help and I really, really appreciate it. I support his show so much in the last year, he's doing the same back. That is how it should be podcasters supporting each other. You will hear a really cool interlude and you will see a bit of a different intro how I do it. I cannot wait to recording it on Wednesday, I cannot contain my excited and relit passion for this podcast!  This also takes affect for the regular Collabs and Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast, they were all re done too. Starting definitely a clean slate with all 3! Especially PR Collaboration Podcast being in our 3 year On-Air. Anyways that is today's post, I hope you guys enjoyed it and I will talk to you guys tomorrow!

Little About Myself And My Involvement With Chris's Website

            Hello, my name is Savannah and I am Chris's website monkey... I mean Website Admin. I do everything from coding in the new features and pages to his website. I am in the South Western Ontario Region so so couple of hours from boss man. I do web design for a living and self employed doing all of this and really happy to be part of Team Chris B On The Web, helping him grow this amazing website. When he hired me on to replace the other site admin, he told me he gets a couple of hundred views a day and I can see that from the admin panel in the back side of the website which is incredible. Especially the fact what we are about to do with the overhaul of the now former and defunct Extra's tab that is now Events and will have a list of events he has been to which he has explained. Let me explain my job, my main job is to build the pages on his website, make adjustments according to his request which I admit the about page changes wasn't his idea, was mine entirely and he loves what I did to it. I have access to the source code of the pages, especially the menu bar code and the CSS code, so I can tweak anything if he wishes but trying to keep things the same.

             I do not blog too often on here but have the full access to the blog if he needs to step aside for something for a day or so, but my main job is to work on his website when it needs to be worked on. Also I am in charge of posting up content to the website meaning the podcasts you see on Entertainment Man Podcast and Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast  every week and when it airs on the website. That is like the most important part of my job and keeps him stress free knowing that things are on track for the website. I am glad to be a part of his website even if it is just the 2 of us only since some either quit or were fired for their actions and to be honest this is a great duo, sorry trio, forgot to add Larry as Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast is a big part of this website and his community. I wanna thank Chris for giving me this time to formally introduce myself to you all and I'm sure you will see me around the community.

Do I Miss Streaming At All?

               The question is do I miss streaming? The  answer is a straight plain NO. The reasons behind that are trolls, I have a zero tolerance for the trolls especially and also the fact I have had to endure the amount of dislikes on each video on YouTube, I do not miss it whatsoever. Twitch or any other platform, I pretty much got trolled the heck off at least 3 or 4 platforms over the course of time. I could care less about video platforms I am very much happier where I'm at right now and that is what matters to me is I rather do the blogging and podcasting on Audio Only then waste my time stream. I know CBOTW Gamers Podcast is pending to return and there has been talks about me bringing it to video but I would have to convince my potential to stay Audio ONLY and to be honest not sure if it'll happen but it is being talked about and not 100% sure if it would happen whatsoever. 

                Back to streaming, I do not miss the trolls, it was pathetic to having to put up with that day in, day out and I do not miss any of this. I got better things to do with my time then streaming. I still got OBS in case of the slight chance but to be honest I will use it in case I fail to get Mix Minus setup by July for Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast and we may have to push back Mystic Force as I have been diddly daddling but the only reason I would use OBS only in case the mix minus is not setup properly and need more time but we'll find out tonight what happens with the settings but OBS is there as a primary back up for that but more then likely I will never stream ever again. That ship has sailed and I am very happy and comfortable where I am to this day with what I am doing. Yes CBOTW Studios and the CBOTW Studios Bot have been disabled on Twitch and more then likely will never log back into that account that is that post and there is a special guest post tomorrow and you might see em around my Facebook Group and my Twitter from time to time so I will talk to you all Monday, have a great weekend!

Favorite Pizza Places?

                I know there use to be a bunch of places I use to go to, Dominos but we got turned off by Dominos for our Pizza getting misplaced and also the bacon on it was hard as a rock at a time. The other one that I got turned off was Pizza Pizza and to be honest, I've had Pizza from there once since the burnt and cold pizza gate at Toronto Union Station and only went to our local store cause of the gift card they got me and not been back since. To be quite honest there is only one place we live by for pizza and that would be Little Caesar's Pizza which is up around Kingsway and it is the best pizza ever to be honest! They even got an the Chicago style deep dish pizza which I had for the very first time in Chicago in July 2012 almost 10 years ago. So it definitely worth going to.

               The fact it is also really fresh and good and we've had no problems with Little Caesar's Pizza which is good so I vouch by this pizza place at this point and I just do not know why the places above I just feel like that now there is only one place I vouch by at this point and to be honest I wish I can give Pizza Pizza and Dominos another chance and maybe I will down the road but not as of right now. So inconclusion the only place I really like is Little Caesar's Pizza at this moment and honestly that's OK. Whichever once I am most comfortable with and the fact I enjoy it is what really matters in the end. I'm sorry this is a short blog, got so much to do today, editing, watching SPD and getting further into that season but promise you guys to get all caught back to a normal length tomorrow.

Few Things Are Pending...

                 As you know there is something that isn't working on the mix minus setup with the new mixer board and I probably went and screwed something up and did not set it up properly. I am still working on SPD right now if this podcast is still going to be a thing unless we end up cancelling till were able to be in the same studio as one another but I am going to try and fix this issue. I hope to be done by July 15th, 2021 for recording but we will have to see at this point. I got practically a month to go and going to multi task to do both preparing it and been working on Entertainment Man and SPD in a combo, also working on scheduling the Entertainment Man Podcast. No matter looking up on forums and online, I seem to not find any damn answers on the issue and at this point, I may end up calling or emailing the damn store for some help with this issue. Dunno what I'm doing anymore and anything will help me get Power Rangers Podcast back on track again. It is one thing after another. 

                 So I cannot really say if we will be back in Mid July at this point but I have sent an email to Long and McQuade and we will see what is said back about getting this mixer properly sync'd up with the computer for Audacity and recording Podcasts. However I have a plan to try and fix all of this even if it takes me some time to figure out the issue. I have a plan and may as well say it, I could use OBS and the computer audio section on OBS and still record till this is all fixed. I kind of went off on Larry after and blocked private messages from him but I better remember to reverse that before he's on this afternoon before he gets on and wonders why I am not replying back as anything. Anyways I do have a backup plan in case but we'll see what the music store says and if they can shine any light why its not being picked up on Audacity. I will report back when I get more information on this and when if it is fixed. Just hope it's working by July 15th for the next collab podcast at the most.

What Is The Plan For The Former Extra's Drop Down Menu?

                      You probably wondering what the plan for the "Former Extra's Drop Down Menu?" Well the plan is we will be using it and Savannah and I already have changed over the name to Events and the Tab is currently disabled and it is not dropping down at this current time. This will be like this for a while now, I'm like talking about all summer, that tab will be disabled. Work will be done on the website throughout the entire summer on that new feature and it will take her and I sometime to actually build up the pages and the events that will be shown when things get back to normal and the events in more a temporarily hiatus for the time being. These are the events I plan on going to and the events after this pandemic and finally events on temporary hiatus status:

Going To Post Pandemic:                       On Hiatus:                         Questionable:

Maple Festival May                      Polish/Ukrainian Festival                            Food Truck                                                                The Royal Winter Fair in Toronto                 Rib Fest            Apple Festival                              Toronto Christmas Market                                                       

Tyrone Parade of Lights                                       

                  As you can see there are at least 7 - 8 events I go to on a yearly basis is quite a good amount, not as much as I had Oshawa Santa Claus Parade and Oshawa Tree Lighting but nowhere near pleased with the two events as it's changed so much over the years. Also I also use to do the Autism Celebration as well and since it's not on my list anymore I have removed 3 events on top of the 7. Originally I had 10 - 11 events a year. So the events I am going to post pandemic, is only 3 to start with, however Food Truck is questionable as not sure if it will be in the plans for Bowmanville events but will have to wait and see when events start back up more then likely in 2022, maybe 2023 for me, let's see how I feel by then. Rib Fest is a bit bigger of an event down at the lake and I probably won't have that comfortable level. So The Questionable one will be under the archived events on the archive page for pictures. The one on Hiatus will be under Hiatus on that page as well. The events that will be active events under the archives and will be activated once events start back up. The only item that will be activated under events on the website's main page or anywhere on the website will be Archives that will be accessible on the website and yes you can view the pictures by clicking on the Icons that her and I are adding to the website. This will be all completely hopefully this year as I cannot promise an ETA on this but it has started to be worked on. I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Favorite Moment's On Big Brother Canada?

               I know I probably have done a post about this topic or a podcast about this in the past but I thought it was time for an updated version and decided inside of a podcast to do it blog version and maybe this could be a thing especially during the seasons perhaps. Anyways here is some of the top moments in the series:

1) Talla's Maze Meltdown: Her infamous 191999 Maze meltdown continues to be the top of my list since the show's inception in 2013, just about 10 years ago.

2) Brother's Self Nominate: After Cass pulls Tim off the block, Brother's tried to nominate themselves which definitely would of been interesting if they were on the block and were evicted. Question is if they were evicted would it been of been one vote if they were in jury together?

3) Ika Shredding Letters: Still up there in my list and still on my list as one of the top moments but there is no real order for the picks to be honest.

4) Karen Roasting Sindy: Karen's roast on Sindy with an S was classic and one of my top moments in Season 5 with her saying Sindy, that sucked with an "S." It was quite a memorable moment. 

5) Wedding The Chapel of Have Nots: The houseguests get a chance to close down the have not room as long as Joel and the late Nikki Grahame (R.I.P. Nikki 😢) get married and the moment Marsha called Nikki the crazy lady got me laughing pretty hard!

                I probably forgot some of these moments and some already been on the list but let's just say this is a continuation of the list perhaps. Anyways that is my post for today and Monday I have an announcement towards all this craziness with equipment breaking down, there is a light at the end of the tunnel but for now have a great weekend!

Got An Idea When I'll Be Able To Have Guests In My Studio Again!

                 I do have an idea when I'll be able to have guests such as Larry for a prime example in my studio. I know Larry and I have talked about this on the Collab last week, a week ago actually to use returning to a more normal routine. We both agreed that we could be able to see each other to hangout again and to also record our podcasts again in person. Well that really depends if the cases of this pandemic keeps going downward we could see each other early as of January 2022. I am not taking any risks sooner with things opening up sooner and as you know I am still with my folks and they have helped me with when the time is right etc. There will be a time for it to happen. As you know Larry and I record in February, June and typically December which is 3 times a year at the normal schedule outside of this pandemic. Anyways February 2022 would be the date I am able to start recording in February. 

                I'm sure I will have to teach Larry how things work in this studio since there has been so many different changes since he was here little over a year ago. He hasn't seen the setup, especially with the recent big purchase I have made most recently! So there is a ton I can look forward to be honest and trust me there will be tons of pictures and Behind The Scenes look at our first get together and recording! So many great opportunities to honestly and I cannot wait till this day comes where we are both reunited with one another and recording back in studio with the full lights and setup for Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast. That time will come and for now I just gotta be patient till that day comes. I will talk to you guys on tomorrow's post for the end of the week!
