Chris & Larry are Back in The Saddle!

         Today is the biggest return of the Dynamic Duo of The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies, the two Founders of this podcast since 2018. That's right Chris & Larry are back in the saddle and the rest of the staff and you guys are very excited to see the two guys back in the saddle and interested in what shows and movies the two of them have planned out. I heard something through the Grapevine a 2nd Happy Gilmore 2 is in the works too. 

        I do not know the extent what is being recorded and what I said yesterday isn't all set in stone as of yet but whatever they record will be posted and some things may be pushed later so he will make sure it is organized in a folder when it comes to what needs to be released as October will be very chaotic as Chris is willing to co-host Survivor 49 Recaps which he's come up with a cool name.

 

Anyways, chat tomorrow 💜

New Development with the New Podcast!

        Chris has been talking to the team and sounds like he's made some more development to After Hours with Shane and Chris and he has now to also decide to add this to the list: 

- Dual Streams: YouTube & Twitch- Once our account is back online, the show will be on both platforms and he is actually going to run by the other half of the show. Very exciting to see the live shows being on both platforms.  

        Please remember that there is no ETA for the podcast starting but we just like to show off our progress and we know you want to know how things are progressing. Chat with you tomorrow.

Filling in for Boss Man This Week!

              I am filling in for boss man the entire week and I do not know why he's gone AWOL on the blog but he will be back when he's good and ready. This is the first blog and I have been a bit nervous writing my first ever post on this blog. Chris is so calm and confident and here am I feeling quite nervous what to talk about. 

         This week, I have a few updates about the new podcast to talk about on Chris' behalf as he's been exploring a lot of things possibly duel streaming to YouTube & Twitch which is a great idea, more the audience the better anyways more on that tomorrow and Wednesday Chris and I raged quit Grocery Store Simulator which was quite hilarious and wish we were streaming it. Thursday and Friday, I'm not sure as of yet. Chat with you at 1 pm EST ish, depending when I have a moment to write.

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. 

Chris

Why do we have a lot of downtime?

            I know the lack of episodes and content compare to when we were on YouTube. However even if I am not at the computer I am always thinking one step ahead of the team and always thinking how we can improve and even post up some behind the scenes. The reason why we have so much downtime is because we are lacking in the content department. What Are we doing to rectify it?

--> Halton County Radial Museum; Videos, photos of my day out with my dad. 

--> South Simcoe Railway; Videos, photos of my day out with my dad. 

--> Try and do some occasional Saturday blogs if I find a ton of things to talk about.

--> Double up with The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies: I know Larry and I haven't started to record podcasts together yet. I will try and fill in on Thursdays if possible. 

           Trying to make things up and get back into a routine is important as we head into adding the new After Hours with Shane and Chris, hopefully October. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Terms of Use will be Updated!

            My entire team and I have spoken and have made a decision to review the Terms of Use on our website. I think it is time to review and go through everything and make sure there is the correct tweaks and I believe it will be my Director of Operations, Zoey will be running that meeting as I am only the CEO but right now there is other things we need to deal with so it is kind of at the bottom of our list at the moment.

           Obviously this has to be addressed and something that is really missing from our list of things to be completed and we have had a lot more downtime then anything else which I will talk about tomorrow but still getting work done and we just make a list of what we need to do and put it into a priority list. We will let you all know when the terms are done and what we are looking at is setting each Terms of Use so we will need to go through the entire current terms. One thing we are going to do is put the date it has been updated. We have had enough of the drama and our foot is down on this. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you tomorrow.

After Hours with Shane & Chris [More Info]

             A lot of progress has been made with the show lately and I can say that it is becoming bigger and bigger as we continue on the journey and with a month away from production set to start with Season 1 on October 10th, 2025 which is the Friday of the long weekend of Canadian Thanksgiving and what a way to launch this BRAND NEW show to our amazing network. 

            We are on YouTube and I know that raises eyebrows after having to deal with teenagers causing issues with a... Nevermind, will not go into the negatives but Shane wants to make sure it is 18+ Show and that is what we are planning to do with the show. So are we posting the YouTube version to our website? The answer is No. Will be ultilizing Spotify Video to our website alone with Audio ONLY. We are only using YouTube for the Live Version of the podcast and we will be adding the Audio ONLY version of the podcast in the podcast tab as always. 

            Live Shows will be Fridays @ 7 pm EST and posted on Sundays @ 1 pm EST on the old time slot Entertainment Man once held for the last 5 years. This is something we have never done in well almost 10 years but we are returning to a LIVE Format and there will be no drama, disrespect whatsoever. Positivity is the only thing we will allow so please do not come into our chatroom trying to cause problems as my staff will ban you faster then you can say ticondaroga. Anyways positivity Chris, right? That is the post for today, rather long winded post and as always I will chat with you all tomorrow!

Orono Fair 2025!

             Today, I got to go to the Annual Orono Fair with my dad and is always an annual thing for us and I got one of our moderators Sheldon so hyped up, he's at the Orono Fair this evening which is so cool. Maybe next year he can come with my dad and I, or even if he wants to come to the Winter Fair that is most definitely a possibility but anything is possible. So much to see and do at the Orono Fair, they have a Tractor Pull on going and started like 200 pounds then by the time we left, it was at 9000 pounds which is insanely heavy if you ask me and a Minneapolis Moline was pulling it. Also arts and crafts with also local vendors and yes I took a picture of the Zamboni as it was parked in the middle of everything as this was in the rink next to the Fairgrounds.

      You have your basic fair food, I had a basic sausage was good especially with mustard. Anyways we looked at all the tractors and yes I did tally up everything and will do a post on Monday as I will be putting the stats together either tonight or tomorrow and will do a cool different graphs and stats for you guys that I will share. Saw the chickens, goose, ducks, roosters, boy their loud! I love the fuzzy head and feet ones in my own opinion. Saw cows,  Herford and Black Angus beef which is good for Steaks and hamburger meat. Also saw sheep as well as well as Pigs and piglets already growing up. Finally saw the more modern Tractors, plows, lawnmowers, small loaders, digger and much more. We got fudge for my mom and my dad got coasters for his car drink holders which look very cool. Anyways that is the post for today, enjoy your Sunday and as always I will talk to you all on Monday!

How Am I Feeling a Week Later?

             Almost a week later after Entertainment Man Podcast, I have had a rough week with getting use to not working on episodes, interviews and what not... Yeah, I had a lot of guilt, feeling down on myself, felt like a useless piece of you know what. That is just stage of loss, stage of change in your life:

1) Feeling lost, unsure what to do next;   That has been me all week in a very odd funk but I seem to have gotten out of it and has learned to move on. 

2) Feeling down, feeling out of the loop, not wanting to do anything. 

3) Acceptance: I feel like now that I have accepted the fate of the podcast ending and down the road it can be rebooted but not 100% sure it will be.

           So what I am trying to say is I am slowly coming around and acting a lot happier and excited for the next phase with ChrisBOnTheWeb Media. Anyways there will be a post later on for Orono so I will talk to you all then!

Mountain Burger Food Review

           Last week, I got to go to a new Burger joint called "Mountain Burger." It sure lives up to it's name because the Hot Dogs and Burger are thick and some are really big depending what you ask for but the Hot Dog is one size and I placed an image of my hot dog with Mustard and fried onions. The older gentleman was so amazing to my friends and I and the service was awesome.

           It did take a bit to cook but bigger portion does take time to cook and trust me the wait is worth it actually! Soo good and so many different items to choose from, such as Hot Dogs, Burgers in different ounces, you have Chicken Burgers, fish and chips, french fries, you name it. I give both the service and food well over a 10 out of ten, more like a 20 out of 10 as it exceed's my expectations, so juicy and yummy. Fries, my friend Terry shared his fries and very good french fries. Anyways I will be going back trying something new and I shared this blog post with them so thank you to them for reading in case you do and thank you for your wonderful hospitality. Anyways that is the first post for today, I will be back after I get back from the Fair with a post so I can chat about it but I will speak to you all later on today.

Discord Server is Fully Functional!

               Discord is back up and running and I know we've been through this song and dance so much in the last 5 years. Everything is set to what it use to look like back then but it is there and I am not as active as I was before but I do see messages while I am working on content. I know I have a lot more time on my hands to work on other content but not only that I have time to interact on the Discord with you guys. 

              Everything is the same minus we've added a Meeting Room 2 and CBOTW Studio as well to the entire thing and adding a Music channel so you guys can request music and the Lara Bot will play it for you so that is one of my next projects for the server moving forward. Entertainment Man Podcast has been archived, hidden and locked from anyone seeing it but it is still active as there is a possibility of it returning the future but I highly doubt it honestly. After Hours with Shane and Chris has been added and is hidden and locked from conversation till we're ready to go next month. Anyways anyone that wants join can join here: https://discord.gg/2ABDvq6aQs

Larry and I will be Back in 2 - 3 weeks!

              I know as it is now September, Larry is back online again short time this week as it's his first week back and YES he's in the Discord Server now and the community is fully built to our specifications. I will talk about it on a blog, I have lots of ideas and the next 3 days will be cruical for us, 2 today, 2 tomorrow and 2 Friday! So what is the call Larry and I made with RETURNING to Podcasting The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies. 

             So the Tuesday slot is currently empty and if I feel up to posting up an episode I will, however, I have made it clear originally that I would put the episodes on Tuesday in the meantime and I will as long as Larry and I aren't recording but with him and I not going to be starting for another 2 - 3 weeks maybe 4, I may as well move Corner Gas to Tuesdays on a permanent basis perhaps. Most likely, him and I will start posting episodes second week in October the Hocus Pocus movies for Halloween. We may record a couple of things for November, maybe one more set of episodes of Ghostwriter but we will see how things will go. We do not have a lot of time left together till he moves. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you this afternoon.

Website Changes Coming?

             With all these changes I have already been asked questions what is going to happen to the Entertainment Man Podcast Page, will it be archived on the website and the answer is YES, it will. When, I do not know. The Shows tab is currently very cluttered at the moment. I will get to it very soon but the changes are slowly. Also we've added Shane to our team for the all New After Hours with Shane & Chris which will be starting up in a couple of weeks. Just taking time to rest and focus on The CBOTW Show. It is still all raw to me right now. I will talk about it on Thursday or Friday.  The Page has been created here on the website and we will utilizing Archives.org again. Also the content schedule has been readjusted.

             The e-mail for After Hours with Shane & Chris has been created and I will need to send it to him so he can use it too between the two of us. As I mentioned Podcasts are now called Shows but this one is going to be in Podcast format. Spotify will have video and other platforms will have Audio and that is what I read up and by talking to their support staff. Anyways more information coming by the end of the week as I mentioned and as always talk to you all tomorrow!

Change is Good! (Saying Goodbye to My Podcast)

             It is an end of an ERA fior Entertainment Man Podcast. I've been doing this show for 5 years, 6 seasons, 313 episodes, I felt like the show has gone stale, same old, same old week after week, show after show. I honestly wasn't feeling it anymore. It was time to say goodbye to it and move on from it. Luckily I have The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies and After Hours with Shane and Chris which I will talk about more this week after I chat with Shane with more about this.

             However, as the saying "All Good Things Must Come to an end" and it totally true! I've felt like this the right time and do not worry, I will not bring it back, cancel, bring it back, cancel like I use to with one of my YouTube Series I did back in the day. I look forward to what's next and the new project is ramping up nicely and information is coming soon. There will be more this week but that is the post for today and as always I am going to talk to you all tomorrow.

I Tried Something NEW with Videos!

              As you noticed with the videos posted for Motivational Friday videos I used the Green Screen and it was quite difficult when it came to creating the effect but I fiddled around with my corel software and it worked absolutetly good! Sometimes I have to adjust the green color on the software but it is a learning curve and I honestly think I am doing a very good job when it comes to fixing that but I am actually getting use to it even though I have only edited 3 videos. 

            You will notice the green outline around my body... LOL. Apparently I've got a glow but remember trial and error when it comes working with the software. Time will tell when it comes when I get things under control and honestly I need ideas for background wise if you want to see specific backgrounds and what I was thinking of creating some for specific but I think I am going to create one specifically for it and keep it generic but any ideas let me know by commenting on here, Instagram, X formely known as Twitter, TikTok or via our Contact page. Anyways that is the blogs for this week, enjoy the rest of your weekend and as always I will talk to you all on Monday.

Only 1 Toronto Event for the Foreseeable Future!

             There will be only one event in Toronto as it is safe to go and that is the Royal Winter Fair each and every year with my dad and yes I do plan on going to it on my own even after he's not here but enjoying every moment with him but as the crime rate is going on, I am keeping it down to the one event as I am inside unless something worse comes up but I am always monitoring the situation in Toronto. 

            The reason behind this isa because of the crime rate in the city and it is for not just our safety my dad's is the most upmost importance especially driving into a city that is riddled with crime. However do not worry, we will be safe and always will be travelling safe. Anyways this is the short post for tonight and I will chat with you all tomorrow morning for another bonus blog post.
