The CBOTW Show Re-branded... Sort of!

            The CBOTW Show has been re-branded... Sort of. Just the image has been updated as seen on the right hand side with all the people involved with that show that project. I absolutely love it and ChatGPT aka AI has done our beloved podcast a lot of justice. Nothing else has change but updating the website as we speak with old logos across the website that has to do with the podcast.  

   The Old logo as much as it got our views where they are today, we were ready for a total rebrand with our logo and they should be reflected across our website and we are in a new era for The CBOTW Show. I will answer any questions on Saturday on our Facebook Page, TikTok Page & Our Instagram Page  Anyways that is the post for today and enjoy your weekend and I will talk to you on Monday.

The CBOTW Show Updates

             The CBOTW Show is coming along nicely. Shows continue to be recorded and ramping up for production soon. There is a bunch of things on our radar as I have said previously, Power Rangers Reboot, Ghostwriter Reunion Interview and some others but I am starting to think when Larry and I return we will or I want to plan to start recording this fall for Ghostwriter Season 2 which gives me plenty of time to work on it and get it finished for the fall between now and September. There is no plans at the moment to record anything minus the recent episode and we have been running into issues with Larry's camera so that is interferring with our return right now. 

              One thing I would like to do before we return to recording once a month is Back To The Future Parts 1, 2 & 3; Space Balls; Ace Ventura; Mean Girls; Mean Girls 2 to name a few and I have to locate the list that we had to see if we can do a couple of those coming up this month perhaps so we can open the Saturday slot soon enough as we have a lot we want to do and get done so we can most definitely knock off 4 - 6 episodes per month but we will see. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow.

Doors Open Oshawa 2026-- Part 3

          The last two spots are down in the south end of the city. First was the green house and the flowers was absolutely beautiful and I loved walking through there and often do we ever get to walk through and Doors Open is most definitely worth the time. What I loved about the Green House the fact is it is in a "H" shape as their is two parts to it and they connect from in the middle which makes it so easy to see the second part of the Green Houses there.

            The last part before I get into the Guy House and Henry House, we walked down to the ship "Alicia G" which was there at the lake and I believe at this time she has departed our harbor now. Which I just looked and as of me writing this blog and she is still in the harbor at the moment. Also we walked on the pier for the first time in 2026 as they just opened the pier recently. Was windy and the water was a bit choppy as you get further out in the water but nothing that these salties or lake freighters cannot handle. 

           The very last location was right where we were, the Guy House and Henry House. For this event the Robinson house wasn't open unless their doing work in there right now but We got to see the house again and usually it is once a year I go back sometimes 2 years depends on my schedule but still enjoyed every second looking around on things. I was actually recognized as I've been there before not because I had my landyard on which was hidden under my sweater and it can be a tad visable. Anyways we had a good time big thank you to the city of Oshawa for putting on another fantastic Doors Open, big thanks to my dad for driving me around the city and as always talk to you all tomorrow.

Doors Open Oshawa 2026-- Part 2

         This was all done on the same day, Saturday May 2nd, 2026 as this is part 2 of 3 of the event across the city. The next location was close to St. George and close to Canadian Automotive Museum and that is the Band Shell at Memorial Park in Oshawa. I have seen the outside of the bandshell but not inside and basically it is where the local band that plays instruments and was really cool because it had the history behind the bandshell and I didn't realize how much history that goes behind the bandshell. They don't usually have it open to the public but this was definitely a special treat and addition to our day.

           The next location we travelled north Oshawa to our local theater, the Oshawa Little Theater and mind you this was the first time I have been there since volunteering over 10 years ago and they have done a ton of renovations and still has that theater charm still. We got a little tour of the theater, the dressing rooms, hair & Make-up, the shop at the back which I use to help build sets for shows back then, the stage area. We also were in the green room & lounge between the acts and rehearsals are done before they go onto the stage. Finally we got to sit in on the rehearsal for the upcoming production of Newsies. They trumpet and trombone was funny as they were making funny noises as they were doing checks with the bands so that was a giggle. I've sat in on one of these when I Co-op at the theater in 2012 which was really cool. Anyways really enjoyed this section of the venues for the event and as always talk to you tomorrow for part 3 the final two locations we went to.

Doors Open Oshawa 2026-- Part 1

           On the weekend I got to go to 6 - 7 venues for Doors Open Oshawa which yes I know it is a lot but we had fun. The first place was St. George's Anglican Church and I have never been in there before but absolutely beautiful church! I was wowed with the architecture of the church and it has a really nice charm. We learned so much about the history and it is a very old church but still beautful and stunning. One of the staff or volunteers there brought out some items from the archives and so amazing what we saw especilly that quilt or blanket and how thin it was and we are talking 1900's.

     The Next location is the Canadian Automotive Museum on Simcoe Street in Oshawa. I was really shocked how much they have updated and re done things in the museum. Looks so much better and there is a ton of different kinds of cars and the picture on the left is one of my favorites the DeLorean car which they had a similar car in the movie back to the Future. Really enjoyed the walk around and the staff there was very helpful if we had any questions. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow for Part 2 of 3 of Doors Open Oshawa blogs.

Am I Excited for Tomorrow?

              Am I excited for tomorrow? What do I mean? Well tomorrow, I will be attending my first events across the city for the Door's Open Oshawa. I do not know which ones but I will be out there and if you see me do not hesitate to say hi to me. I will be wearing my waist tag but not my lanyard. This one I am more incognito for this one but I am there and present. As we get into June then I will be wearing the lanyard more. Certain events I do wear it and certain ones I do not and it depends what event I am at but majority of the events I wear em. 

           Yes I am excited for tomorrow as it is the first event for 2026 and events season is here and it's back to them once again. I always enjoy these events and eager to get out in the community and seeing what the community is offering. Note this is all day long and I will be attending a bunch of different locations with my dad and moving around and I will be very active on social media throughout the day, updating you guys and this is the reason I have cancelled this week's stream. So again I am excited and hope to have a few interactions with you guys if you are local. There will be a post in the evening for you guys once I return home and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow, hopefully.

Broadcast Schedule and Platform Adjustments...

             First of all, big thank-you to our new CEO Sammi for this idea and advising me on this idea and since I am the lead with broadcasting on our social media for the most part I have decided that I will not be returning to Kick.com nor Twitch.tv nor any platform as the decision for me is to stream once a week on two or three of our social media platforms for the foreseeable future. Meaning it is now a permanent change which means that there will no longer going on those third party websites that I mentioned or are alluding to.

          So with our schedule changed the Sunday spot has opened up. There will be no streams on Sundays whatsoever at this point so the Sunday schedule has been suspended indefinitely with no plans to unsuspend the Sunday schedule. Saturdays will be our normal Saturday Chat as always with the oddball streams during the week so we will be sticking to weekly at the moment. That is the post for today and as always talk to you tomorrow.

The CBOTW Show on Saturdays

             The CBOTW Show will be eventually expanding to Saturdays as coverage on shows are slowly being expanded  and someday we may have shows everyday if we keep getting new hosts. I know we are waiting on JBird to when he is planning to start working on Only Murders in the buildings and I haven't spoken to him on that as he just got married a week ago so I am giving him to adjust to married life first before I jump into it. 

            However the Saturday slot at 6 pm EST is being used for Larry and I's recordings that are being posted up as I took over the Thursday spot while he was on hiatus and yes I could give it back to him and I but I am use to Thursdays but oh heck I should I am more then OK for Saturdays but transitioning may be hard as I have been very active on Thursdays. So it is sounding like Saturdays @ 6 pm EST will be our new time slot plus eventually adding in JBird to the line-up it will be an interesting schedule for us. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow!

The Reason I Stepped Down as CEO...

          I know a lot of you will scratch your heads but the reason I really stepped down was not just the non stop b.s. drama but it was also my mental health has been taking a dive and gotten worse so Sammi took over as CEO and it has taken a lot of pressure off of me with running the operations of the company but don't think for a second I am keeping up with what she's done in the changes because she is always in my ear on things and why most of the time shes quiet on the Discord as she is always working, reminds me of her and I think I've taught her well. 

       I  have been training her about 2 months and the plan was for her to take my place and slowly I taught her everything what she needs to do and she has been very active over on Discord and the emails. We've been trying to get her on Facebook but they kept on banning her LOL. We have a good laugh about it on the server from time to time. Anyways with me going on a long term leave of absence with the possibility of not returning as CEO, we needed a replacement.

      The reason why I stepped down as I said was my mental health has been bad with all the trolls, drama, I needed to step away from that role but with the intention of still being involved and I am getting help through video calls every week and the reason I go quiet for an hour each week. Right now, please do not expect me back as CEO. I am happier in my smaller role. I also ask for your privacy during this time when it comes to my mental health, I am not going into specifics but I don't mind if you guys ask me how it's going but again will not go into details. Anyways that is the post for today, rather lengthy post and as always talk tomorrow.

We're Putting the Pieces together

             We have been making the correct moves and it's all coming together now which is great and very proud of the moves we have made. Last week and on the weekend we have been busy recording and editing and thanks to our CEO, Sammi and Brooke for helping out with editing and this week we will continue to help me get all the editing done this week so next week I can possibly work on more original series for Malcolm and start to work on the return of Ghostwriter eventually. I practically have everything else going on around it so it makes it really tough to work on one of the shows we cover.

          The Pieces are coming together and this week, we will completing all recordings, editing, shorts scheduled episodes and of course our blogs here on the website as Saturday I will be on the move around the city for Doors Open throughout the daytime. Then next week we can prepare other episodes for future episodes of the podcast. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Baker's Table Oshawa Sandwich Review

            This week I had the pleasure of going out for lunch with my dad which is rare especially with me on my diet but decided to treat myself to a sandwich from the Baker's Table in Oshawa which is a very good with what they give. They sure hone their craft with bread, desserts, sandwiches and of course the hot food. Had a lasgna from there once and was amazing to be honest! Anyways I've seen a glowing review for their amazing sandwiches from YouTuber Oshawa Scooter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdUHlHJoHS4 and I totally agree.

          Now into my review, enough of this butt kissing I am doing, haha. So many different types of sandwiches and was hard to decide and I enjoy the smoked meats like Pastrami, Corn Beef etc so I have decided on the Pastrami and I added some cheddar cheese plus some pickles on it and I know what you guys are going to say, ewww. Well don't knock it till you try it. It gave it the dill tanginess to the sandwich and will do it again in the future. I give the sandwich a 15 out of 10 as it exceeded my expectations and I will be back in the future. Anyways that is my review, hope you guys enjoyed this review and as always I will talk to you all on Monday.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) will be getting an update too!

               Since becoming the boss lady of the company, I have been busy with some changes and updates. Especially with the website and I can officially say, Chris has done a wonderful job with the website and it hasn't looked any better. Each time he has made the updates to the website it has improved it greatly. Looks so professional and easy to navigate on. 

             The last thing I'd like to see updated is the Frequently Asked Questions, the FAQ page that is on our website as you know The Reality TV Recaps is finished so we have to update it accordingly and I am keeping him on his toes but he's always up to working on the code and the website and updating things so in the coming week or so, Chris will be updating those pages and getting them up to code if you get my coding joke from this. So stay tuned folks for the updates as he progresses with the two updates and I will speak to you all again soon.
