Not Doing Seasons/Episodes on The CBOTW Show for Now....

            I have literally given up on doing seasons and episodes and it is easy for us to do that but we may down the road add in the episode #'s when it comes but seasons it isn't really possible to do but I think it's best to leave it blank but I want you guys to know how many episodes we have done, I don't know because right now I am rambling at this point and completely not able to cohearently talk like a normal human being but at this point I see no reason to do it at this point hence it has been since left empty.

             I somehow think I ended up putting the same number so it doesn't seem to add it to the amount of episodes and plus we schedule the posts way ahead of schedule and kind of the format we want to do technically. Anyways for now I will leave it as it is for now and we will see where we go with this beyond and bet you anything we will be checking all the episodes and renumbering them, however that is the blog post for the week, have a great weekend and as always, I will talk to you all on Monday!

I think our TOU (Terms of Use) Needs to be Updated, PRONTO!

              I definitely think the Terms of Use needs to be updated as we have had an good amount of trolls and bots in our community and yes I am referencing the Discord with the stupid spam from bot accounts. This has to stop and I had to remove the pinned post on X and pin something else that is more important to us which is Entertainment Man Podcast. 

             So our terms of use really needs a a facelift, more update then anything else in the world. So the the team and I will be discussing and updating whatever needs to be done and we already have worked on it and working on the server as priority # 1 for us as there has been issues. Mainly the only thing that needs updating is the Discord TOU as we list everything with the current rules. So that is priority # 1 to get a new and improved TOU. Anyways, I realize I am late with the post and that will be the post for today and as always, I will talk to you guys tomorrow!

Have Been Making Some Changes to CBOTW Media...

           The decisions that we have made has been good decisions:

No More Kick: I have gracially RETIRED from gaming streaming and regular casting sites to focus on the podcasts which we now have 3 running and I will talk about that tomorrow with the schedule being revamped moving forward with an even better schedule.

Entertainment Man Podcast: The beloved podcast makes a return to the airwaves after a month of being off for a shortened 7th season with it returning for an 8th season in January 2026. The podcast will remain on Audio ONLY moving forward.

Discord: Revamping everything and reviewing the rules of the server including our roles on there as well and how we continue to do things till I am happy so it's an on-going project at the moment. We've been dealing with a ton of spam on our server at the moment.

Website: The website has been updated numerous time and we are merely doing that till we are ready and at this moment we are on track for January 2026 of our 3rd podcast in our network that is being added. 

           Anyways those are the changes and I hope you have a great night and I will talk to you all in the morning for another blog post.

Fighting to get my Facebook Back!

           I continue to fight the good fight and try and get my account on Facebook back and if we remain banned then it is what it is. It is out of my hands and I found an email and i reached out but haven't heard anything back as of yet but fingers crossed but if it is not destined to get my account back to manage our page then it will be abandoned unless they delete it but we will see. 

            If not I am not totally sure if they will delete the page and there is no way to message everyone to follow me elsewhere but the matter of the fact is I am trying to get back where we once were at and if we were to get access to the page and my account including the old chrisbontheweb Instagram, I would keep the current one without the bots following that page whatsoever, I would actually remove that instagram so I can focus on our current CBOTWMedia. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will chat with you all tomorrow.

Sometimes Change Is Necessary!

             Sometimes change is necessary and with both Entertainment Man Podcast and The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps both out of the picture now which means more time for After Hours w/ Shane and Chris & The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies. Yeah, I've stopped the Reality TV Recaps yet it's clear as day in videos in my studio that it is still on our wall in our studio. That means nothing really... I mean there is one episode on the feed but that's it. I'm not going to say but that change was necessary as it was giving me problems like 2020, 2021 & 2022. 

            Entertainment Man Podcast, my pride and joy as the ideas were stale and also the trolls were putting me down calling me fat etc so I decided to just stop. Hey if it's not fun anymore then it is time to move on and exactly what I did. I am having a hay day with the TV and Movies with Larry and also with Bob. In fact, we will be recording a new episode Tuesday so that is very, very exciting stuff! Anyways thats the post, I need to get Corner Gas done and Hocus Pocus 1 & 2 done for this upcoming week's pocast recordings admist all the busy schedule this week and as always I will try and put out a post on Monday but if not Monday, Tuesday right through to Saturday.

Been on a Grind!

            I have found the time to work on The CBOTW Show more and more now with my other podcast wrapped up production after 5 years, 6 seasons and over 300 + episodes. Been able to work on both solo shows and shows with Larry and I and also Bob LeMent and I. However, I haven't actually messaged Bob for the next one and I will this week before the week is up so we can keep going on a role with things. I know there is so many moving parts when it comes to shows each and every week and there is going to be a lot of me on my own between Corner Gas and also Hocus Pocus as that is the plan for Larry and I by the end of the week. 

           So this week it will be quite a grind for me especially today and tomorrow. It was be a game changer for the podcast. I also plan on recording extra episodes in case for upcoming weeks that Corner Gas isn't on as it takes time to prepare, record and edit everything together. I will be working on the last Ghostwriter set of episodes for mid October to late October plus working on Halloween Movies and still deciding which one as of yet.  That will be on the Thursday slot when Larry and I aren't posting up anything. I know it sounds complicated and maybe once we record stuff, I will put a timetable on a post for you guys but that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Feeling the Good Positive Vibes with our Newsletter.

          Our newsletter has been doing very, very well. we have been keeping up with our analytics and honestly we need a specific time it goes out on Mondays. It is the best day to release the newsletter and the stats actually shows. Zoey as really done an fantastic job with the newsletters and very proud how far she's come with releasing it each and every week. She works closely with me so she knows exactly what transpires in the company and our community. 

          I know there isn't new people signed up and all we need to do is the PR work (Public Relations) end of it. Pretty much promote our Newsletter more and more and I have a few ideas I've thrown around to our Director of Operations and she agrees so stay tuned for that post to go up so we can continue to grow our newsletter list and the newsletter in general. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Website Re-Adjustments Continue...

         Archives are being reversed back to the old ways and we have deleted the 10th anniversary off our website and is no longer in the back end of the website at this point. Anyways we are eliminating anything that isn't necessary and our 10th was just about a year ago and our focus is on the content. That is the most important thing to us moving forward as content is key to our success and it has shown, look at the numbers for the month of September as we're over 100,000 views and it shows.

      Now we have moved "Archives" from the "Community" tab to the "Podcasts" tab. Why, you may ask and the reason behind it to fill a bit of a void as it looks bare and it is more fitting place for the archives that are now only focusing on archives for our former podcast shows. Small tidbit how this is possible and it is done with a table. It's amazing how simple coding can make things look really cool! Anyways, I just wanted to let you guys know of these major changes, even if it isn't really major but it is change. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

100k for the month of September! [Record Breaking!]

           History in the making! In the almost 11 years of operation, we have never had just over 100k (100,000) views on our website. It means, we have done things correctly and we continue to grow each and everyday and continue the grind together as a team. We've started to get a good rythm going and gotta keep going with that rythm moving forward. 

          We're also at 1.5 Million on our website and it's crazy to see this number and it is you guys we want to thank for the love and support you guys have given us over the years. I am not surprised by the massive growth on our website and yes we have some growing pains with shows being cancelled left and right but we are going to work with what we have with The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies then add in After Hours with Shane and Chris or Chris and Shane, that hasn't been confirmed yet but slowly growing.Anyways that is the post for right now and I have a second post coming out this afternoon and probably a video from here in our studio.

The CBOTW Show w/ Larry and I Beyond 2025

           I know there has been questions what the future of Ghostwriter is and we do not know. I know there has been questions when we will be back. It may not be till a year from now. I am sure I will be talking to Larry between the other projects that I am working on in the meantime but as for recording by end of October and that will be a wrap for Larry for a while. 

          Don't worry, we will be back in due time but I am not sure when and I am not going to pressure him or myself to getting back into things and this gives me a ton of time to work on seasons 2 & 3 and get ready for the next step of this. I know I sound like a broken record but we cannot rush things and the extra time will be good for me to work on things behind the scenes. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow and thank you, Zoey for covering for me last week while I was in the middle of a ton of chaos here.

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.
