My First Ever Flight Across The Country (Throwback Thursday Story)

                This story took place, years ago, many, many years ago. When I say many, many years ago, I mean 1992, 26 years ago which feels like a very long time and it has been a long time since I have been on a airplane and I will be breaking that long drought as I am heading out to Minnesota towards the end of September for 6 days for a wedding, which I will get into in another blog post later when the time is right to let you guys know what is up for me.  So the reason why I went on the plane in 92' was to see family, my aunt, uncle, my cousin(s).  I remember some of the trip to Calgary with my brother and parents but some of it still is a big fuzz to me at this time. I do remember being sick to my stomach from the flight so that I do remember that part of it. I remember my mom and I being on a Boeing 727, that part I do remember entirely as that is not a big fuzz. 


                 So I do have a few memories going across the country. Another memory is going up on Banff Mountain in Calgary, seeing the mountain goat as well up there and going up via the gondola as well. I remember my aunts place in Calgary very very well and the area they lived in which is incredible I have already remember this much of the trip there. Also I remember the hot air balloons I saw in the sky while in Calgary just down the road where my aunt's house was. Now going back on the 727 wasn't too bad, I wasn't sick or anything, I managed to stay sick free on the way home and I knew the trick to chew some gum while in the air. As an adult now, more then likely I wouldn't get sick now, I would have a smooth flight there and back and I cannot wait to hop on another plane again very soon!

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Collab Talk Release Dates!

                So I guess I have to also fix this screw up I made by breaking my promise for you guys to listen hear to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and it has been now recorded for 2 months, edited and sitting in a folder on both my computer and also my external hard drive and I know, where the hell is the podcast? Well this is, I guess the press release of the podcast that I have been holding onto for 2 months now as it took Larry and I over a month to record the podcast, then with me editing grind and posting it up.

Everything About Reality TV Intro Changes

                I need to re-iterate this but I am working on this weekend the intro being re done since the switch to thecbotw.blogspot.com until the website is back on the .com in early 2019 under the blogger page, so that kind of does complicates things for me and also the podcast to not have a website being the host and provider of the podcast as it has been since 2015 when it first started out on YouTube at the time. Why the ramble Chris? Well I need to be straight out and honest with you guys that as of right now, the podcast is now at this point of time independent, on it's own due to the fact the .com isn't operational at the moment so the branding you hear at the start of the podcast will be changing over the next day or so it fits CBOTW and the current page I have which is this page in particular for this current time until the domain does indeed expire towards the end of this year.


                 Not to worry, the podcast isn't going anywhere, just facing the facts that CBOTW is indeed in a bit of trouble since the website going down and right now, I do not know the future of having a .com website at this point as it has been nothing but a problem but it is not the website domain, it was the web builder I was with that was the problem for the past 4 years and quite the headache for me. I still have a headache from the stress of running CBOTW. At this point I feel like I have ended up running it into the ground and it is all my fault for ever trusting 000webhost as a web builder service, so I should of known better when I first bought www.chrisbontheweb.com and now the domain itself sits abandoned on no service, nothing... Just an unused domain which I feel at this point I wasted money on this domain for the past 3 years of this contract with my provider... So frustrating.... 


                 So the podcast all together is separated from CBOTW for now and down the road when and if I do plan on doing a .com or renewing the domain again under this website, under the blog page, I cannot give you an answer at this point of time as I am right now so confused where I am going to go within the new year. I thought things were going smoothly but again I was so blind to actually trust the web builder I had and consider them a trust worthy service. I mean from the start, I never really got along with the staff there. They banned me from their fan page for no apparent reason when I asked for help. I think I was not suited there. I at this point of time have to do what I have to do with my podcast and just deal with it for a few more months before making the bigger decision.. What's the decision? You will see in due time.

Auto Fest 2018

               I got a chance to actually see cars down at the Lake for $12 which is a fair admission price and I wasn't feeling like going to the event as I have been struggling the last couple of days since Kars on King as I have not felt well, tired, no energy whatsoever. Still have very little energy since Friday. Still trying to recover but I'll be fine in time, I think I am doing better this morning then I have been since a few days ago. So we went late in the morning and spent a good 3 hours at the Auto Fest with my dad. There was so much to see and do there including some amazing cars like Bel Airs, Corvettes, Camaro's, Mustangs and the list goes on and on. There was a few cars I was over the moon thrilled to see, the Mr Bean Car (Austin Mini), also a Cadillac Car & finally the Edsel car were some of my favorites cars to see but trust me, I have a ton of my favorite types of cars. There was a bunch of El Caminos as well which are half cars and half truck if that makes any sense to you guys at all. 


               There was not just cars but also vendors were there and within all the booths there they had exotic animals there, like Tortoises which one got free from the pen and wondering around the path way which was quite funny to see and it wouldn't go far as Tortoises are slow moving, so it wouldn't get too far. Also they had a Anaconda snake, ferret, Boa Constrictor & also an Python which was massive in size just like the Anaconda that we saw as well too. The cars went on and on and on, there were so many different cars to see and I highly recommend it as you will be spending a couple of hours down there but totally worth the time and money's worth to go and see!

Volunteered With Kars On King!

             There was a lot of reasons why I was absent from social media on Friday. I was volunteering my time at Kars on King, a local car show in the downtown core of the city I live in. Anyways it was a fun experience and got to meet so many new people which I think I truly do need to do that, meet new people and I think new friends is great to have. I obviously missed the training session due to mother nature deciding to pour rain on us and only way at the time was by bus at the moment. Anyways, I was filled in yesterday and my job was simple to be at one of the intersections letting the older cars in at the start and out as well. So many amazing cars I saw up in my end where I was posted for the entire shift and event. I also got to interact with the owners of the cars and was really cool. I was talking to an owner of a Mustang so amazing how powerful the engine was on the car. My dad even told me there was a Edsel car, the same one that always went to the Bowmanville but I was not in the right area for it but that's OK, I really did enjoy myself during the event. 


               Yes it was physical work moving the pylons back and forth but I am strong enough to pull em back and forth. I had a few complaints but it happens and I did a great job dealing with the situations. I also got to meet new people and by the end of the night, I ended up getting a new friend which really made me happy to meet new people and actually have a new friend which was so great. I also got to learn the radio (walkie talkies) terms and I actually problem solved during the event as we had a mishap with the radio as we were ended up on the wrong channel for at least 2 hours as it was really silent but we figured out it was on the wrong channel at the time. Also we problem solved with an oil spill and I ran back to the volunteer station to get pylons so I practiced safety measures and my motto is the patrons safety is our # 1 priority and we put the pylons by the spill this way people knew to go around the spill. The night went great and I think everything went smoothly and was an experience I will never forget and yes I'd consider doing it again next year.

The Day I Started On Audio ONLY Podcasts (Flashback Friday's)

            As I am getting closer and closer to the 2 year mark since I started my podcast adventure started on the Audio ONLY and I can say it has been quite the adventure since the Audio ONLY started. As you know "Everything About Reality TV" started as a YouTube Podcast and moved to Audio ONLY almost 2 years ago. Now I was new to the whole Audio ONLY aspect and at the start my quality of my intros were terrible. I was distorting on and off in the first 2 seasons. Especially the intro theme you hear now was distorting but I think I got that all under control now and fixed. I also use to say a lot of umm's in the podcast but I have gotten so much better of not saying, umm so much so that is an improvement from when I started almost 2 years ago. 


               Now with the platforms, I started out with Mixcloud, a site I didn't last too long on as I wasn't getting the amount of views I do now. That is when I moved all the podcasts to Podcasts.com which you now see to this very day. Then I followed suit with Stitcher.com, then TuneIn.com which the folks there have been so great with me when I have to update stuff with my page. Then I did depart from Stitcher due to some technical issues. I added in ITunes, Player FM and the rest were history. More and more platforms carried my podcast on their website which I am not complaining, it is great to see my podcast out there and it has grown greatly in the past 2 years and loving every moment. 


                I think, now my quality of my podcast has gotten better and as you noticed, once in a blue moon, Larry joins me in studio for a podcast which is great and I love having guests and would like to have more and more guests on the podcast in the nearby future and you never know who will appear on the podcast as I am getting more and more requests to appear on the podcast, which means the podcast is indeed growing as time goes by and I am excited for the future of the podcast and what it is to bring in the very near future of this journey as a podcaster.

             I needed to do an update on Everything About Reality TV as I haven't updated you all on the upcoming schedule for the Podcast. It will sure as heck be a busy Fall, Winter & Spring season. Not sure with some of the shows as some of them are still awaiting an actual schedule and that will be listed at the bottom of the post as I am still waiting for confirmation on the shows when it is coming back on the air. Without further ado, here is the schedule:

               That is the timetable, some are schedule some aren't schedule and some are pending an actual schedule. As you can see both Celeb Big Brother & Big Brother I am planning on covering the show twice a week not the usual weekly recap, that is my big surprise I have been hiding from you guys this entire time and I am just full of surprises when it comes to this podcast. I'm thinking the more podcasts I do the more of an audience I will get which is true. You GUYS are here for the CONTENT and the quality content and entertainment and I know recently on the podcast I have been not as enthusiastic on the podcast but I promise I will be now that the stressful part of things are settled and I know the plan is moving forward. 😄
