The CBOTW Show Will Return late July!

                      The CBOTW Show will be back late July/August and we had to put a hold on newer episodes for right now. We need to catch up and reupload old episodes and should be about 2 per day Minus Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays as well. Wednesdays will be trying to do motivational Wednesdays once again and today you can expect some of those on a Thursday today between all of this. I hope to hop onto a stream tomorrow to chat and answer all your questions regards to ChrisBOnTheWeb Media and all these crazy changes with hands and URLS.

            The CBOTW Show just needs a bit of a break for now and Bob is right I need to take rest for myself and that is the plan. Gives me time to work on and prepare things but in the meantime I will try and fit in behind the scenes and motivational videos in the meantime while we are going to do some behind the scenes stuff and you never know, we may end up actually or I will actually record something for the channel for Sunday and you guys get a real update a day in the life of Chris. However that is the post. I have two more posts to do so I will either post both tomorrow or one tomorrow and one Saturday but we will see.

Anyone Can Bounce Back!

                Chris and the rest of our team are the definition of bounce back. Anyone can bounce back from the struggles you may be going through. We are a good example as we have struggled to getting podcasts out for you guys and including us and I know there hasn't been posts out on time and we are really trying the best we can getting content out to you guys and we have gone down to the old level we once were at but Chris assures us we will get back into a grind and get things out, 

         That is the power of positivity which is what we are trying to spread with the company and our community as well. It is always great to remain positive and think of the positive outlook at life and that's what we have done as a team. Yeah there has been a ton of drama with our team but we have moved on and continue to strive and I can say despite the continuous issues we have endured but we rise above all of it. I will talk to you Tuesday for another post.

Not Making the best decisions...

          The CBOTW Show is more a TV Show rather then a Podcast. There is just so much going on and just been very concerned so I know this raises a lot of questions what is going to happen with collaborations and as a YouTube Series, we are planning to finish uploading Ghostwriter and may have made a mistake deleting a ton of the of the video versions so I am reuploading those and we will continuing to post the final 2 episodes as a podcast minus the Audio ONLY. 

         However 24 hours later, we reverted back to The CBOTW Show back to it's original origan and The CBOTW Show is back on the schedule but will remain on hiatus till everything is back up and running well and the audio only has been restored back and will be reuploading it to YouTube and the video versions will be up starting tomorrow. 

Chris

          

What's Going On?

             As you know some of our social medias and YouTube Channel are incorrect and we will be fixing that over the next month or two and Chris and I admitted changing the url's and links wasn't the best decision and it is a lesson we have learned together as a team. Anyways Chris has an announcement and it will be coming out this afternoon as we are making some changes to our network and company.  

             I can say our website is going to be overhauled yet again and I know it is very frustrating with all these changes but the plan is to finish everything we need to get done. With the extra time we will most likely be able to work on other things. Great things are coming for us! I will chat with you all on Thursday.

The CBOTW Show [Ghostwriter series on Hiatus]

                Well, I have been a bit frustrated with the dislikes and comments about my co-host has really struck a nerve and now episodes being down voted has me thinking it's time to revamp things when it comes to the episodes being done. So we are putting a pause or putting those episodes on hiatus for the time being. It doesn't mean we will not be returning and we would like to in the nearby future but right now, there are some things I need to work on to improve the shows each episode that goes out. 

        Any disrespect towards Larry or myself, we will be blocking/banning from our community and network. We have 0 tolerance for disrespect as we are a clean, positive community in the end and we want to keep it this way. However, that is not the point of this post. We will know more once Larry and I are back together with each other. I will have another conversation with him how we are to improve and fix these episodes and they are indeed getting views especially Audio ONLY but I want to tweak things when we record shows together. That is the post for today, I will talk to you all on Saturday! Sara has something important to tell you guys regards to this blog.

Chris

Blog is being tweaked!

                As I said earlier in the week,  we may have to tweak the blog schedule and we are going to. We are going back to a bit of our old schedule. No end of the week updates or weekly updates are NOT coming back that will continue to be a part of our Newsletter and you guys see the pop up every time you enter our website here. So here is the schedule moving forward:

Chris: Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays @ 11 am EST

Sara (Me): Tuesday/Thursdays @ 11 am EST

Saturdays: Random Saturdays- Time TBA  (To be announced) 

              I may step in on the random Saturdays for the blogs from time to time or even Chris could especially if he goes to events so anything really goes so we will always keep Saturdays in there in case we have something we want to share from our adventures. Enjoy your weekend, Chris will be posting tomorrow and I will chat with everyone on Tuesday.

Unsure with Peony Festival This Year.

              My mom hasn't been well and it is more important for me to be with her and take care of her. My family comes first before the company so I am taking time away from the blogs for the most part. I hope you all understand and I hope to get back to events again very soon. So with that, I am not sure on the peony festival this year, locally and it will all depend how she is but as I always say Family comes first. 

            I cannot even give a straight answer for you guys whether I will or not be going but it all depends how she is in 2 days from now. I will announce on the social media feeds if I am going but if not, I will probably not say anything but I cannot promise anything right now. I need to take care of my family first before anything else. Hope you all understand and I promise to make it up to you guys soon.

Chris

Surprise Reality TV Related Episode Friday!

                   I never thought, Chris would ever return to Reality TV Podcasts. It's been about 5 years since his last episode and if my memory serves me right he was talking about The Amazing Race or the season that was coming up in the fall perhaps, not 100% sure but it's been almost 5 years and for him to come back really surprised me and the rest of the team. Maybe he felt it was time to even try at least one or two episodes out and see how it works with the current format of The CBOTW Show. 

               What he's recorded was about Survivor 50. What he told me, he was really excited with the  episode and that 5 year break is what he really need. Now it is Audio ONLY for that one but can be found on YouTube under the podcast tab and not quite sure the reason behind it but least you do get a bonus episode this week. I heard he's also going to be recording The Simpsons recaps content and Matilda movie as well today and tomorrow as tomorrow mornings blog, he has an announcement with The CBOTW Show, him and Larry as their on a bit of a hiatus from recording. Enjoy your Wednesday and I will be back Friday.

Unsure what to do for Motivation Wednesdays Anymore

          I am honestly unsure what kind of motivation to give you guys on Wednesdays. I have a bit of a creative block and I will talk more about it more tomorrow and on Sunday and at least I have one for now but trying to get three a week isn’t as easy as you think. However maybe doing them will spark more ideas and already got one more idea already to do so im inspiring myself writing this blog.

          Maybe writing on this blog helps me with the ideas as I’m taking you guys through my creative process and I always ise that term when it comes to the creating content whether it’s on this blog, the podcast or a video on our YouTube channel. Anyways that is the post for today and I will talk to you all on Thursday.

Chris

New Week, New Beginnings!

           Today, we sent out our first newsletter to the subscribers and excited to get some feedback from the first ever edition of the newsletter. It's like a new edition of the weekly updates but adding in events, podcasts and much more. It isn't as long as you think and newsletters do not typically need to be very long but depends on what you have to say. However I'm proud of the changes we have made recently to improve ChrisBOnTheWeb Media.

            We also added interactive streams but Chris will not always be live as he has a ton of work to be done  but it is part of our community for our Founder/CEO to interact with you guys much as possible. I feel this is a new era for ChrisBOnTheWeb Media and things are going to be on the up and up from here. Reminder, Boss Man Chris will be doing posts Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. We may tweak the schedule for next week if we feel it is not working well for us. 

 

Until Wednesdays post, have a great Monday!

Last Weekly Updates Blog

                 As you know today we say goodbye to our long weekly updates as we transition into the new newsletter which is already in motion. What is happening with this blog? Well Chris aka the Boss Man and I have spoken about in a deep level and we have decided the following schedule:

Tuesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays: Will be Boss Man Chris 

Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays:  Will be me, Sara, the COO of ChrisBOnTheWeb Media.

                What topics it will be? A Various of posts from food reviews, local events and events in Toronto  to advice and tips from both Chris and I am even longer explanations of features we are planning to add which we have a bunch now that the Newsletter is starting up for us on Monday @ 9 am EST. Some of the ideas I will be covering on Monday will be: Merch, Free 30 minute call and also online events as well. We will be doing a big update to all the pages and to assure it is done and that is the first step this weekend as Chris and Sadie will be doing a deep clean and updates to the website so some pages may come down for a while they update it all. At this time I would like to thank you all for supporting our weekly updates and we will be missing doing these blogs on Friday mornings but this opens up more doors for content on this website.  See you all on Monday for a new and improved blogs.

 

Sara 

Newsletter Signup is complete! What's Next?

                 After a long battle with the code we have our newsletter setup and ready for new subscriptions. Already have had one or two and will remind you guys from time to time but it is easy to see. Please be patient with us as we design our newsletter over the next 6 months as we evolve and grow the newsletter as we've never done this before in the history of ChrisBOnTheWeb Media nor The Video Projects Team so we are fairly new to this as a feature on the website. We are very excited that this feature is finally out there!

          What's next for us? Merch and Sara will talk about this on Monday on the newsletter with our what's new and upcoming section of the newsletter! We have so many different ideas and I am excited for the first edition and will be reading it as I subscribed to it myself so I can see what she says each and every week. We need some new ideas for services free services and paid and we've considered the free 30 minute call thing but not add a form but just use an email as trolls seem to have fun spamming it and apparently reported and got it removed but it is what it is, we were planning to phase out the forms instead and the pages kind of need a revamp and we will be going through all the pages revamping each of the pages as it's long overdue. There is more news but she will cover it on Monday. Have a great weekend and talk to you all on Monday under our new schedule.

Back To The Grind!

           Since returning back to Ontario, I've been busy getting shows done I got two airing today, 1 pm EST the Audio ONLY version of Entertainment Man Podcast @ 1 pm EST & The CBOTW Show @ 6 pm EST. I've considered to do a second Entertainment Man Podcast on Wednesdays but sporadic episodes from time to time. Not every week, not every 2 weeks, not once a month but if I feel up to it and something I want to talk about I will post an additional episode on Wednesdays.

          For now I am also am recording a new episode this afternoon with Chris Champion and very, very excited to be doing this podcast as it is about something I love talking about and that is creating content. Anyways after that with the editing, I will be doing other things, working on Corner Gas episodes so I can book Bob onto the podcast soon. Anyways it is good to be back and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Few Food Reviews!

              I know there is a lot of places where I was at while away on holidays but a few things I want to review obviously:

Veal Meatballs: Never had veal meatballs till now and loved every bite of it. It was so delicious and so tender. It was also served with fettuccine pasta in a sauce with shallots. 20/10 above and beyond my expectations Place: Bistro 1640.

Breakfast Poutine: I know it sounds odd a bit strange but it was really, really good. It was a lot to eat, it consistent of eggs, cheese curds, regular chunk of cheese, not sure what kind but also potatoes and bacon in it. I absolutetly loved it and would have it in a heartbeat! Who would of thought that Poutine for breakfast would actually work. 20/10 exceeds my expecations. Place: La Buche.

Gnocchi with Sausage: I haven't had Gnocchi in ages and it had sausage without the casing on it and was so good and tender and full of deliciousness. I give it a 30/10 as it was probably one of my favorite meals. Place: Coche Dinge Champlain

            There is the food reviews all in one, hope you guys enjoyed it and I know it wasn't everything I ate but some of the highlights and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow for another blog post.

My Trip Out of Province!

           My trip was amazing! Yeah it was very stressful at times but I enjoyed my time out there. Did some personal things that I do not want to discuss publicly. Checked out the shops below the board walk where the Chateau Frontenac is. Then we went up on the Funiclaire to the top and walked the boardwalk.  We actually went into the Chateau Frontenac and took a ton of pictures outside and inside of the hotel. So historic of a hotel. 

          Now you may think that isn't all we just did is it? No, we visited cemetery where my grandma is buried, it is personal and the reason why I didn't mention it. Anyways back to the point of this post about my travels and this was really inspired this post. When visiting a shop that carves wood, we got a VIP tour of the shops on the third floor and we thank the staff or owner for giving us a sneak peek how they create such beautiful pieces. Last point I want to make is we visited Chez Marie which has homemade bread with Maple Butter and I will review this later at 1 pm EST. However we visited this last year as well and loved the experience. That will be the post for now and as always I will talk to you all later for a food review.

Flying can be stressful

           As you guys know, I was away and I flew out of the province on a bit of a vaca and I needed that break from it all. I have been so stressed out with all the work that we've been doing. Anyways, I always found flying very stressful but I enjoy the flights when I have to fly and fun to look out the window as we take off, during the flight and getting off. I will explain two instances. 1) Going through the pat down and swabbing my hands. Yeah I was pat down and swabbed. Never ever had it happen and I had no idea what the heck was doing on whatsoever as this has never happened. 

          My dad got double patted down and his items checked and I really had to be patient and with me Patience is not a virtue with me usually.  So in this instance you have to be very patient with this. Now Billy Bishop Airport isn't as stressful as Pearson but still flying can be a very stressful moment. Also sitting for an hour and a half was difficult with me with my right knee seizing up but I managed. Just be patient as you go through security and it will be all worth it in the end. That is today's post and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Projects We Want to Work On!

                 There are projects we want to complete and right now is not the right time as you know boss man is out of the province but still is in Canada but not the point of my post today. There are two major things we want to complete before summer hits and here are the two features we want to work on:

Newsletter: I know we've talked about it a lot the last month to 2 months now and it is not as easy as you think as Chris needs to code the popup into the website. The NO right click has been implemented to our website probably since the start almost 10.5 years ago. That will be the first phase of the plan in June while Chris takes some time away from Ghostwriter till later in June. 

Merch: I know we have been approached about Merch and it didn't seem to have worked out too well as we didn't get a reply back but we are looking into other platforms that would want to work with us and get some ChrisBOnTheWeb Merch setup and somehow link it to the website. We will keep you informed when that stage begins. 

          Anyhoo, that will be it for me and I'm sorry for no regular updates and maybe this is something I can do between now and before we switch our schedule around as Weekly Updates being discontinued on this blog and moved to the Newsletter which I will be personally doing. I will chat with you all next week. 

Sara

Gotta Stay Positive!

                   Doing this post on behalf of Chris and he knows I am writing this post. Just a disclaimer. Between guests on Entertainment Man Podcast and The CBOTW Show, this is our busiest time of the year for us. Always is in May and June what Boss Man said to me. It has been slower in January and we always make notes to see the trend with guests and collaborations which is really cool we do that. 

         A lot of people have reached out to us and we are booking up quickly for June. You probably remember Chris left the platform, Matchmaker FM as it is now a paid service which is fine but we managed around the changes. Change is good and Chris has shown a lot of positivity and we keep track of our changes and how any notes to change things around or tweak with some minor updates. I will speak to you all tomorrow.

 

Sara

I Finalized Everything Before my Trip!

             I for the most part have finalized everything and raring to hand over the keys to the company so to speak to Sara while I am away. I have everything in place for when I am away and excited to be going away. I know there was a lot of things to do but it is to keep you guys watching, reading and listening to our content while I am not around.

             I have checked several times to assure that everything is completed in a timely manner. Like the saying goes always double check your list or work before you consider it finished or completed. I hope you guys enjoy the next few days without me and any questions do not hesitate to reach out and Sara, Larry, Kevin and Billy will be able to help you. I will chat with you on Monday and don't worry I will enjoy time.

Chris

June will be busy!

             June will be a busy, busy month for us and here is why:

- Events: We have a couple of events and activities we are going to be attending, Peony Festival which is something we do on a yearly basis and a lot of fun. Also Attending Fiesta Week which is usually my yearly review on the food if I've not had it before. 

- Podcast interviews and Collaborations: I have a bunch of collaborations and interviews scheduled. I will start with Entertainment Man Podcast, still need to book Mary coming back onto Entertainment Man Podcast. Episodes with Nick and another with Chris either went up or will be going up on the platforms. Also June I have Dr. Shafer coming on my podcast which I was on hers end of last month to talk about my journey with Autism and how I am an advocate for people with Autism/Disabilities and Mental Health. I have one more podcast to book for the month of June as of me writing this which may have been updated since. Also June plus maybe July I will be having Izac from Fun Football Podcast to collaborate and talk about our favorite Bill Murray Movies. Also Mary from Mac N Cheese Podcast will be coming on The CBOTW Show to talk about and recap Mary Poppins. 

              There is the timetable or gives you an idea what we are up to in June and as always I will talk to you guys tomorrow.
