The Day I Lost My Bus Pass (Throwback Thursday Story)

               This was a few years ago, I believe just at the start of the renovations or just before the Mall renovations happened but I believe I was coming off the bus from Whitby from an appointment so I could of left my bus pass on the bus there. So what did I have to do? I went to the bank machine took $20 bucks out and had to break the money in order to get my butt back home to figure out what I can do next. I felt like an idiot to lose my actual bus pass as now I could not get around at all but my mom came to my rescue like always when I do something stupid like losing my bus pass which costed me around 42 - 45 dollars a month but I was lucky the lady gave me one for nothing as she was lenient  which was a good thing and I managed to get my bus pass ordeal all figured out.


                  Now how did I feel? I felt like an idiot, I felt stupid that I lost my bus pass and unable to get home like I wanted to.... I was in completely in panic that I lost it, I didn't really have a clue what to do to be honest... It was not a good feeling whatsoever. I did text my mom and I already contacted the Transit system and they advised me what to do after I gave them the bus route number and also the bus number itself. But to get this new one I was a much happier person once the problem was resolved.


                    Did I learn to be more careful? I make sure and I always double and triple check for the bus pass to make sure it is in that same spot I put it in. I also even check my seat over to make sure nothing is being left behind so I am being very cautious when it comes to leaving anything on the bus now and making sure I do not make this same stupid mistake twice. I truly have learned to not make this happen again in the future as well too.

Would I Ever Broadcast Again?

                Would I broadcast ever again at anytime of my life? No. Not just because of the fact I am banned from every platform out there but there is tons of reasons why I don't want to broadcast anytime soon and it is nothing against the platforms but here are some of the reasons:

1) I am banned from majority of the broadcasting platforms for stupid things I have done or I have a vendetta against the owner(s) of the platform. 

2) I feel like social broadcasting has started to die down but that is only my opinion but it hasn't been the same since Stickam.com, BlogTV.com days and I don't think will ever change anytime soon. I know BlogTV.ca is suppose to happen but once again, something happened between me and the owners of the new BlogTV.ca and I feel like if I return, I do not want to cause anymore problems as it is. 

3) The trolls, it got way out of control on a few occasions and I knew it was that time I need to leave broadcasting and just do Audio ONLY Podcasts and these wonderful blog posts I do for you guys on a regular basis. 

4) I've been casting since 2009 and just felt like I had enough of it. I felt like it wasn't fun to do anymore and like I said above, it is not the same since BlogTV & Stickam days as both platforms closed down not far apart from each other, a month to be exact.


                  So the answer to the question is No, I will not be planning on returning to broadcasting anytime soon as I am happy where I am at, this current time of day and very proud of the accomplishments I have made as well on this blogger/podcast journey and I wanna continue this uphill journey.

What Would I Do Different If I Was Still On YouTube?

              The question for today's blog is would I do something different if I were on YouTube still? Well yes and no. There is a few things I could of changed and here are what I could change if I remained on YouTube:


1) More then likely put The Entertainment Man Talk Show Off Air as the views went down at the end and the ideas went dead as I felt like they were stale so I think I could of ended the series. 

2) I would of done Everything About Reality TV on YouTube full time and probably keep on Vlogging on the main channel yes, I would do a separate channel for the podcast alone.  Or I could of kept on doing Vlogging and do the Podcast on Audio ONLY as it is to this very time of day.

3) Vlogs, I may of decided to downgrade it to Monday through Friday, not 7 days a week like I had it originally. With vlogging on Sundays if something good was happening.

4) Probably turn it into a Family Friendly content channel as I would of had to obey the new TOS and also the Advertiser friendly guidelines as it changed very, very quickly after I left the platform entirely as we know mass chaos endured! 


                      So yes I would change things as I left not in the best terms with the platform and no notice to you guys my fans but I gain a lot of respect and trust back after festering up on leaving YouTube and not letting you guys I was planning to leave the platform or what was going on. That I could of changed as well. I should let you know of the change and I think I am actually getting better at it too right now.

Why I Don't To Do Podcasts On YouTube

             There are many reasons why I do not want to do the podcasts on YouTube. I'm not putting down the platform, I just have reasons why I do not want to do the podcasts on YouTube anymore. 


1) I felt like my time on YouTube it is time to leave YouTube as a whole and just primarily focus on the Podcast Audio ONLY for right now. I have been on the platform since Jan 31st, 2008 technically.

2) I just feel like if I returned with Everything About Reality TV in particular, it wouldn't be too popular like before. I struggled to get views when I did the podcast and I feel bringing it back to the platform, I would be struggling from the start again and building an audience.

3) I also feel like Podcasts do not feel like they belong, however there is tons of podcasts on YouTube so you can't say there isn't podcasts on the platform.

4) The adpocolypse and the family friendly content, it will be hard to earn revenue and also if you curse you could end up being age restricted in a video or removed all together, so that make me a little weary of things right now. 

5) It takes time to find and build up your subscribers and just do not think I have what it takes to re build from the ground up again, think this will be a tough challenge and road but maybe with persuasion by YOU guys the most amazing fans, then maybe I'd consider it then. 

6) I'm not sure if I can keep a schedule and how I would post up the Audio ONLY versions of the podcast or when it would go up after the live broadcast.


                 There are my reasons and it is unknown where I want to take the podcast next and not sure if I would wanna do it live again, I would like to but not sure how I would format it, like schedule to go live, when the Audio ONLY Post is up, those questions I'd have to figure out for myself and I know if you do persuade me into doing em live, I'd figure out the scheduling. Not everything probably wont be live, some live, some that are pre-recorded before it going up.

Was On A Good Roll With Losing The Weight Again....

          I realized that I gained a bunch of the weight back with eating at the Mandarin Restaurant yesterday, yes I WENT out for Chinese food with the family which mind you it was nice to go out for dinner with family, I am all about being with family when I get the right chance and it wasn't like I gained a full pound because I didn't it was like 0.4 pounds I gained from this meal which isn't much, so it is not a big, big deal. I think this is just water retention from the food but it was delicious regardless. I am not stressing it, just going to start working on it again today and today I decided to do a fruit smoothie for breakfast starting tomorrow as this morning I wasn't too hungry at all. It was originally part of the diet before and I wanted to get back into making them again. As you know I have spoken on here about doing smoothies and the kinds I have made in the past. 


               However, I will correct this and plan on getting back down where I was before it gets way out of control and I am back up to 239 pounds which was my start weight on this diet. I cannot be this careless, especially now that I have gone pretty far on this diet to now quit on myself? No I am not quitting this diet and I will get down in my weight and continue on this journey as my goal is to get to 175 - 180 pounds. It is a long journey from now but I know I can do it. My first goal is to get myself to 200 pounds first to start with. I will make an exception for birthdays and special occasions still but other then that I am going to follow it. 


                 One last thing I am making sure to keep my calories and fats lower then usual. As for the calories, I am keeping it below 1800 calories and wanna make sure of that as that is a major asset to losing the weight too. I had help from my family obviously when it came to what the calorie count I wanna aim at each and everyday I continue to grind on this weight loss. Would be nice to be at my goal at the end of the year but I rather lose the weight slowly then super fast as it is not healthy to lose weight too fast!

First Time, I Saw A Rattlesnake (Throwback Thursday Story)

             So this happened many years ago and I believe it was two years in a row where I saw a rattlesnake. To make the story short the first time I saw a snake, it was only a mere baby rattler and the rattle wasn't as loud when it shook the rattle to warn us it was nearby so this way we wouldn't step on it. I don't the baby rattlers had as much venom at that stage then an adult snake but I could be wrong though. That was actually out in the rocks a bit we happened to see the little baby snake but also cool. I believe within the two years in a row we also saw a good size Garner Snake as well which was really cool to see too. 


                Now as for the full grown snake I was the one that heard the rattling and knew there was a snake nearby and I saw it all coined up staring us down even though a snake cannot see while but can sense heat and movement on the ground so it knew we were present and near the snake and obviously we were careful to walk away from the where the snake was and it was slithering away anyways so it would feel safe so to speak.


                 Finally on this shorter blog post it was a fun to actually see a poisonous snake but would never wanna piss it off and end up getting bitten and end up in a hospital to be treated it would probably ruin the holiday or vacation all together. It was once in a life time opportunity and it is truly hard to actually see snakes as you have to be in the right place at the right time to actually see nature at it's best but we were quite lucky to see a snake!

Is This Is The Permanent Site for Chris B On The Web?

          I hate to use the word hate and also to bring bad news to you guys and I had something more on the positive side to talk about but will wait till Friday as tomorrow I have an announcement to make as next week I will not be here 4 out of the 7 days. But today's post is not so happy news. As you know, the last 4 months has not been the easiest last 4 months for me as there has been non stop problems with running a website and I've tried, time and time again to re-build and repair the website and at this point, I am just tired of trying to fix a website which one issue becomes a new problem. 


             The one problem that really ticks me off is the web builder works half the time and when it doesn't work it gives me that false virus message from my anti virus. Hostinger is connected with 000webhost and started thinking twice about renewing for another 2 years  and I think my mind is now made up at this point of time, I will be letting the domain expire and move on and just use this blogger page as my main page with the links on the podcasts pages will do for now and never know, I may explore the option of a website in the nearby future but right now, I have decided, I have had enough of websites at this moment and this is what I need to do what is best for me in the long run.


              Chris B On The Web is not dead, just end of an era with the .com website as the last 4 months has been hell and back and is done at this point. Don't think just because the website is not operation everything goes on hold. No secret I am still looking and trying to resolve any unresolved issues I may have with the website and I will not give up, I will trumiph this blasted website issue. There is no secret, I was going to be a bit more negative but held this off most of the day but glad I did as I have time to think things through before bad mouthing 000webhost and I finally learned I gotta keep my mouth shut sometimes, it does get me in trouble sometimes... LOL...

Did I Enjoy Filming The Entertainment Man Talk Show?

              Did I enjoy filming or taping The Entertainment Man Talk Show???? Well this is quite a tough answer to give as you know, I had my up's and downs with the series, however that is not the right answer to give you guys. Yes I did enjoy filming the show and I know what you guys will say, weren't you mentally exhausted from the series with the planning? Yes of course, however I enjoy the actual filming end of the production, that is the more fun part of taping an episode, but planning and editing that has a stressful aspect of it, not so much. 


               The reason I loved to tape episodes was because of the craziness, the comments made, tons of cursing going on, we were always laughing on set and things that my staff and crew did that I never expected to see or said on the set. I admit season 2 the cursing was completely out of control but the viewership went up with the amount of cursing and with me bleeping it out. The moment Eric or myself cursing, it sure brought up the views on YouTube and the subscribers, it grew. There were moments where we kept on taping, capturing the moments of mistakes made on set. I admit the time I was tripping over and falling that was staged obviously as it was for mere entertainment.


                Being on set was so much fun with my team, expect the unexpected with being on set... Always not expecting what my team would say or do, so that was also fun to expect the unexpected on set. I will never forget any of the fun experiences on set and it truly has taught me what set life is like and the process I go through each and every time we shot an episode of The Entertainment Man Talk Show!

You Need Patience With Podcasting

             I had a moment last week, where I was ready to give up on podcasting, I had no views on my podcast whatsoever and I was ready to just close up shop but come the next day the views came in and I was like whoa. I even checked it out this and I had more and I have to realize, I need to be patient with podcasts as it is indeed summer time and people are going to be outside till almost dusk basking in the sun and enjoying the nice weather, well hot weather here in Ontario technically but you guys know what I mean by that anyways. I need to realize not everyone will see my tweet or message out to everyone that an new episode is up as again, people have lives too. 


                I know I get the good viewership each and every episode that goes up and Amazing Race Canada  Heroes Edition did well yet again. You guys again this season have graced my presence with nothing but positive feedback and listening to polls. I know sometimes I am not a very patient person but I am working harder to be more patient and I shown it not only with podcasting but with the re-build of ChrisBOnTheWeb.com which this is probably the only time you will hear me mention that problematic website. 


                 Anyways the other thing and last things I want to mention in today's blog post is the fact you need to be patient, especially when you are having Audio or Video issues, you need to remain patient, calm and cool and trouble shoot the problem at hand and you will get through the problem or problems. Also with editing the Audio ONLY side of things, you sure as heck need to remain patient with editing, it is a very long process with editing, especially the Big Brother Recaps which tend to run a bit longer then any of the other podcasts I do on Everything About Reality TV so remember, patience is key or patience is a virtue, because it will get you through all the stress.

(Throwback Thursday Story) The Night I Left My Church Book In Church

             I have to start today's blog post with I do not usually talk about my religion on here much as I keep that aspect of my life but I am not afraid to say that I am a proud Catholic and I got to church every week and during the week here and there. Now this was during Holy Week, which for those who aren't catholic, it is the week that is lead up to Easter Sunday. I was at the Holy Thursday mass and I left my church book in church. Clumsy? Forgetful? I think I was just forgetful as I had a lot on my mind with Chris B On The Web and in a very busy season for my podcast and my mind was just wondering that's all, I think I just didn't look at the pew before I left and usually I do, once again I had a lot on my mind. 


                Was I mad with myself, yes, as I had prayer cards in the book itself, but it was a blessing in disguise as I got a newer book with a better cover so you see it all worked out in the end, I had to just be a little patient and I just didn't have a book for the rest of March till the May book came in so I just used the book in church. Another factor was my mind was on my back, as I was dealing with back spasms at the time and I was in a lot of pain at the time. I have learned from my mistakes and I am making sure to look that I have the book or have my book in my pocket or in my hand.


                  The book could be in one of my pockets of my jackets I had one at the time so you never know and I will have to look when winter hits again but I am not worries about it right now, I have a new book and it is in the past but if I find it in my coat pocket, I will feel quite silly if that is the cast but time will tell down the road. That is my small Throwback Thursday and hope you enjoyed this little story I have told you guys.

What Do I Do If I Get Writer's Block?

             Writing can be tough from time to time and tonight's blog post speaks to it's own words as I found it hard to write on this subject tonight but I will try as hard on this subject as best as I can. Know for those who do not know, I love to write and I don't care if I got 5 or 6 views or 200 views, I just enjoy writing for you guys, my thoughts on what is going on in my life, adventures, topics, rants which mind you there hasn't been any recently but writing gets my inner thoughts going, gets out my ideas and thoughts. 


                Now have I had writer's block? of course I have with writing something in general and also in blogging. I can tell you a little story about the time, I was still was an YouTuber back in the good old days of my early years of online media. Anyways I was always writing when I was a YouTuber, as you know there is a ton of planning when it came to YouTube, especially for me who had his own web series that ran for 6 long seasons and you can probably tell by the end of the series, I was wiped out, hence the reason I took the break from content during the summer between the switch from YouTube to Podcasting. Now blogging wise, yes I do tend to have problems coming up with ideas for posts but it is you guys that inspire me to come up with ideas that is one way I seem to come out of the writer's block side of things. Sometimes I will go out for a walk and the fresh air does seem to get those creative juices once again flowing once again and it does help. Also sometimes I write down my ideas and go with the ones that seem to suit whatever I am writing.


                  You can get past through the writer's block as I have in the past and takes a little time and if you cannot think just walk away for a hour and come back to it or take my advice I said above and hopefully this helps you guys in your journey in writing, whether it is writing stories, a book, blog posts or writing a web series, just remember, you can do whatever you put your mind to it. I have sure come a long way on this blog!

Everything About Reality TV (Update)

             First of all, I haven't had any updates on how the podcast is doing but it is doing very well in the way of viewers but sometimes the views are slow but I will addressing something else that has to do with that later on on a separate post but once the views comes in then it makes it all worth the wait.  Today however, I wanna talk about the rumors I've heard about Survivor. Now as you know Everything About Reality TV is not just only about Survivor but adding into future years and it is expanding the lifespan of the podcast much longer then I was actually expecting but that's OK! I enjoy making the content for you guys regardless as it is a ton of fun to do, a lot of work.


            Now in the what do I mean by all of this? According to my friend Eric, he said that Survivor is being planned up to Season 42. Now I do not know the source he got it from and if this is true, I will be continuing on to be a very busy person over the next 3 - 4 years up to the year 2020 at the most which is incredible it would continue on this far but hey I will be a very busy body with the Everything About Reality TV Podcast over the next several years from Survivor to Amazing Race, Amazing Race Canada, Big Brother Canada and Big Brother US, no matter what there will always be a Reality TV show that will come out for me to RECAP. Currently I confirmed recapping Reality TV for 10 seasons but over the next couple of years, the numbers will increase greatly over the next many years to come!


                 I am very proud how far the podcast(s) have gone and there will be no stopping me now as the podcasts have become quite the popular and I will continue in the nearby future improving and get podcasts out in a fashionable order each and every week. Finally thank you guys for the non stop support on the podcast, I appreciate the love and support for Chris B On The Web!

Canada Day 2018

              So yesterday was a down low kind of day for me, I did not go anywhere, I stayed in the cool studio for the day which was probably the best move as we are currently in a heatwave here in Ontario, plus I didn't want to deal with 2 individuals as I have had my share of problems with them so I thought it was the best move for me to just stay and hang back and plus I was tired from a long day on Saturday after my trip to Toronto with my dad so it was nice to sit back and just take it easy. Mainly I played video games, write yesterday's blog post and that's it. Had a couple of runs at The Binding of Isaac, played some Grand Theft Auto 5 as well. I played some Minecraft but ended up quitting due to getting lost entirely in the game but that's OK, but I need a long break from Minecraft actually for now. It was a quiet afternoon for me and I got out for a small walk even though it was quite hot outside I still couldn't stay inside and do nothing and I just had to deal with the heat and mind you we are having this heat wave for the entire week long which will not be fun whatsoever but it is what it is honestly.



                  In the evening, my dad and I went up to Port Perry for the fireworks. Mind you we have done Port Perry before in the past and quite enjoyed it actually. They also had entertainment and playing so oldies but goodies as well while we were sitting there and just enjoying all the entertainment was going on. We got some drinks from the vendor there so we wouldn't get thirsty! As for the fireworks it started at 10 pm EDT, it wasn't as long as it has been in the past, I believe it was about 20 - 30 minutes long 2 years ago when we were there the last time around. But overall, it was still a great fireworks display regardless of the length, it didn't matter how long it was, what matters it was a very nice fireworks and makes it to my top 3 list of my favorite fireworks display that I have been to and you never know I may do a list in the nearby future.

Toronto Trip (June 30th, 2018)

                This was only planned a few days in advance and I was actually expecting to be in my studio working on Chris B On The Web and I knew with this being the long weekend, I made the executive decision to take the long weekend off from Saturday (yesterday) till tomorrow (Monday) so I will be only active on this blog ONLY for the next 24 hours or so while things here at the studio are very quiet and not much going on here till first thing on Tuesday morning. So I got to go into Toronto yesterday for the later half of the day into the evening in Toronto, with my dad obviously and I wasn't sure what we were going to do. 

                So we left around 2 pm EDT, we first stopped at the Catholic Book Store so I could actually get a new book cover for my church book as I lost which probably can be a throwback Thursday story for another day to tell you guys as it was an ridiculous story and totally my fault for not realizing to pick it up but I will tell you guys this on another day, another time. After that we went to Yorkdale mall to park and they told us no TTC parking like WTF... Where in the heck do we park? Like seriously! So we ended up driving up Allen Road North all the way to Finch Station and down. We got there, got on the subway and went down to North York Station and got off and visited Mel Lastman Square for a bit. Saw the fountain there and also they were also setting up for Canada Day Celebrations today as well.

Then we went to church via the 97 Young Street Bus down to Lawrence Avenue area. After mass we went down to the lake, had dinner, I had a polish sausage and a Gatorade  as well. While eating dinner, we actually heard a whistle, well I did and I knew it was the Trillium Ferry and it happened to run to the Islands and back but my dad thought it was only on a cruise but we decided to do the Ongaria ferry to Hanlans Point and back and they had 5 ferries, 1 on Wards, 2 on Center Island and 2 on Hanlan's Point as it was very busy at the island. We know next time to try and get the Trillium Ferry if we happen to hear it's 108 whistle go off again in the nearby future. Finally to end the day we had Gelato which is a less fattening version of ice cream but hey it was very tasty to have and I enjoy it. 


Happy Canada Day To All The Canadian's out there!

I'm Doing This For The Fans!

              I now realize, I need to listen to you guys, the most amazing group of supporters, fans. This community, meaning The CBOTW Community has grown so much even without a chatroom I mean the number of supporters it shows in the numbers. Now I know I don't usually talk about the numbers but it shows on my end. I keep em in mind and I know what is loved and what is hated on the podcast and everything seems to even out each and every season that I have covered. So it tells me the podcast is well received by you guys, same with The CBOTW Show Podcast, it's done extremely well, despite it being the newest of the Podcasts right now. 


             As you guys know I do polls and tons of polls here and there and it has helped me on the decisions that I had to make and I plan on continuing to do polls as well as it seems to be one of the popular posts when I tend to actually do posts. When the poll does end, I do listen to you guys and listen to every piece of feedback you guys have given me and I appreciate each and every piece of advice. Not just on Twitter and Instagram I am taking advice but also recently I have a secret discussion group among some of the former Mods and my Alumni we have a discussion going each and everyday, so that does help. 


              Finally, thank you to each and everyone of you guys for the love and support you have given me since the transition from YouTube to Audio ONLY Podcasting.  It has been a wild ride so far and it is not over yet as I stated in a blog post before, Everything About Reality TV Podcast will be around for quite some time with the recent announcement that the podcast is guaranteed all the way to the end of May of next year.  Also The CBOTW Show will be on and off quite a lot over the next several months and I am looking forward to the future in my podcasting career but hope you guys are looking forward to hearing the content I create for you guys!

The Year I Saw My First Moose (Throwback Thursday Story)

                 So almost 11 years ago, was in 2007 on my trip out in Nova Scotia, as I have never been East or to the Canadian East Coast before, we decided to take a trip out and we of course stopped and saw family going out East and also on our way home as well. But anyways, we were up in Cape Breton and we saw an actual moose, now not the male moose with the huge antlers but anyways it was a female moose and it didn't mind us taking pictures of her but still she was a massive animal. I sure as heck wouldn't want to piss it off anytime soon but it was a cool experience. I think the moose, she was grazing on the side of the road eating some grass on the side of the road.


                 We were actually on our way to the Ferry that takes us to Prince Edward Island (PEI) as that was our next stop but we took a detour up in Cape Breton and that is when we saw this massive moose and was the first one I have and more then likely not my last moose I will see in my lifetime. I am sure I will come across one in the nearby future. We knew Moose like to graze near water and where there is grass and more then definitely we were in that right area at the right time but it was in the mid day and I thought that they usually are out early morning and evening normally but guess anything is possible at anytime. Yes the moose looked at us in the car and knew we were present across the road from where she stood at the time.


                  That is my moose story and hope you enjoyed this little throwback story, it was quite the experience to have and I can officially cross this off my bucket list in my lifetime at least. It was a fun trip and wish I had a picture to show you guys but I do not think I have those pictures anymore since I cannot get the pictures off the old hard drive right now at this time and I have to talk to my brother about that at some point this week or next week at the most.

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Will Be Bouncing Back!

             After months of my website being down for the very longest time and problem after problem, the website getting suspended and all this craziness with trying to get the site up and running. Mind you on the other platform, I had the website done and ready for launch, however it ended up getting suspended as I stated above so that has been the low point for me right now is trying to determine whether it is worth re-building the site from the start once again and the weeks of hell and back and to the point of no sleep at all, so it has not been the easiest decision to make. I also have been thinking about whether I was going to have the .com website after November as my domain expires this year on November 7th, 2018. To this day I still do not the future of the website and that's OK, I still got sometime to make that decision whether I continue running the site and I had that conversation with Eric and Dave who happen to be Alumni (Former Members of Staff) and they even stated it is a lot of work to do to run a website. 


                 The good news is, I am indeed planning on re-building the website and today is the day of reckoning. Why you may ask? Well, today, I started to re-build the site from scratch and I can tell you there will be a couple of changes on the website when it is done and coded. The change is the way the podcast pages will look. Let's just say it will look a lot more sleek then it was before. Change is a good thing and I think this was a blessing that the site got suspended.  In the way of testing, it will be a closed BETA Test that's it. No open BETA test nothing this time around. I just decided to change things up a bit this time around and I have no room for error.  I do promise to not move sites and to stay put till the renewal of the domain and the plans I got for the future of ChrisBOnTheWeb.com.

The CBOTW Show- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Talk Is Underway!

            So 2 days ago, both Larry and I got together and got to sit down and record and talk about Season 1 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and I can tell you he told me Monday evening that he really enjoyed himself. I mean it took me months of planning and getting ready and figuring out how to do this podcast and Sunday showed that I was very much ready and prepared to go for what is to be a great podcast. I know it was nothing but the most talked about on the discussion group for the last 8 to 9 months even when it was in the pre-planning stages for this podcast. Actually if I remember correctly, this was planned way before the birth of The CBOTW Show Podcast, before I came up with this name. Only reason I waited this long was I was currently in the production Recapping Music City on CMT which mind you even on the off season has become even more popular on the podcast. 


               I knew once Music City wrapped up, I had to fill the void with this podcast and I decided once Big Brother Canada & Survivor Ghost Island wrapped on the other podcast it was time to start production of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Talk and only reason we delayed was because of the renovations in the main level (aka the kitchen) at the time. It was an appalling mess at the start of the month so we still got together, discussed the plans. Which  brings me to my final point of this post, which is 2 days ago we got together despite the power being out in the early morning, I was in panic but it came on close to 745 am EST so it eased my stress levels quite a lot. I admit we had fun and we recorded a little over an hour. I looked up at the right hand side screen it was already 30 minutes, then I looked back 20 minutes later, it was 50 minutes and we were still talking about Power Rangers. We had quite the conversation going and I admit I know him and I am a bunch of nerds but hey that's OK With me! Lastly, I can see The CBOTW Show Podcast doing great things in the future.
