I'm Home From Minnesota, USA!

              Hey everyone! Yes It's me back in the flesh! I am back actually writing this more closer to the actual day to it being posted. It has been a busy and whirlwind of a last 6 days out of Canada as most of you know I sort of did disappeared and I realize that I didn't post up as yesterday was a rough day and I still am feeling meh this morning. I fell asleep pretty early and slept right through till 2 - 230 this morning which I am quite tired still and it will take me a couple of days to re-cooperate but I had a good time and it was nice to be out of the country to visit family and attend my cousin's wedding. I will be talking about that over the next 3 days tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. Then of course, I have been writing down ideas for the blog while I was away on vacation as that is probably the only time I get to actually go away on vacation but I am happy to be home, despite feeling a bit under the weather but I think the echinacea is actually helping me a lot. Now today, I have the missing Survivor David Vs. Goliath Podcast and tomorrow's regular Survivor RECAP which I will get to in a moment with the actual schedule for this week. But I had a few ideas of doing a EP 1 & 2 Recap together but that would be a little long for you guys and I know you rather that I separate them from the first week and this week as well. Now here is the timetable for those who do not follow me on social media here is what it will look like:


Tomorrow (Thursday):  12 PM EST: Everything About Reality TV- Survivor: David Vs. Goliath EP # 1 RECAP
                                          9 pm EST: Everything About Reality TV- Survivor: David Vs. Goliath EP # 2 RECAP


               There is the schedule for this week and next week, we will be getting back to normal and regular schedule for the podcast as you know, I was away on holidays and now I am back, so as the saying goes we are getting back to regular scheduled programming. Ha Ha!  Anyways in retrospective, I really enjoyed having the time off to relax and kind of de-stress after a very long summer season and trying to stay on the right track of mind, so to speak. Hopefully you guys are happy to see back in the swing of things and hope you enjoy my tails of my adventures to the state of Minnesota in the next couple of days.

Already Planning Ahead of Myself!

             I am way ahead of myself, I am already working on the collaboration podcasts for December which I still have 2 months and a bit to go until both Larry and I sit down to record another set of two podcasts. Now don't get me wrong I enjoy doing the collabs and I looked at the viewership and it has done very well for itself as a separate project on it's very own. The CBOTW Show is going into it's testing phases this week and I am quite nervous to see how it will do as a second podcast. I plan on continuing with Larry on the collaboration podcast in the nearby future with Everything About Reality TV Podcast being still my main focus of the podcast at this point.


               Now With Everything About Reality TV, I am already scheduling the podcast for not during this fall but when Big Brother Canada Season 7 comes out, I am looking at twice a week for the BBCAN7 Recaps to ease down some of the stress of the podcast as that is one of the two busiest schedule for me with summer being the second busiest schedule on the list. The schedule between now will kind of look like this for 2018 - 2019:

Fall 2018:

Thursdays: 9 pm EST: Survivor: David Vs. Goliath Recap


Winter 2019 (Schedule TBA):

Big Brother Canada Season 7 RECAPS (Twice A Week)
Music City Season 2 Recaps (Weekly)
Survivor 38

Awaiting Scheduling:

Amazing Race 31 
Amazing Race 32 (If Comes Out during the spring season, hopefully)
Celebrity Big Brother (Not Sure if it is during the winter or early summer as I heard rumors about. Also the future of the Big Brother USA franchise. (Will Keep you all updated for sure!)

           
                 There is my schedule and some of the awaiting scheduling is in limbo with the recent news of the CEO of CBS resigning but I will be sure to keep you all informed if something does change and like I have said before you guys get the news right off the bat, I do not like to actually waiting on the news, I like to let you know right off the bat, unless I had other blog posts to post up but I try to slide things around as much as possible.

Gearing Up For The Next Collab With Larry

               Well, it is coming pretty much the fall now and it is that time once again to actually get prepped up for the next set of collabs with Larry once again. It will be a short 2 months till both him and I are behind the mics again recording the next two podcasts. What Power Rangers Collab podcast are next? Well Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo are next on the list and it is quite exciting to be moving forward with these collabs and like I said before, it comes out a couple of time a year, 4 to be exact. Honestly it takes time to watch the entire season, take notes, type it up so that is what I do between each recording and this does take some time to do that and hours in per day. I was having doubts posting up the last 3 collabs I did with Larry and had thoughts about discontinuing the collaboration podcast but he talked me back into it and it is a fun kind of podcast to do and hes right it is a lot of fun. It is a tough process at times but worth it in the end as the end product looks and sounds really good.


                 The long term goal is him and I planning to go right to Super Ninja Steel down the road so we will be collaborating for a very long time from here on out twice a year and we are doing this out of the passion as we both grew up with the show and its kind of nice to remember our childhood too, plus him and I are bunch of nerds when it comes to this show so that is another factor for the two of us as well. As of next spring, him and i will be done the Zordon Era and moving into Lost Galaxy and Lightspeed and so forth. I am going to say that these collab podcasts aren't going anywhere, anytime soon and I am glad Larry came up with this idea. Even with him not part of staff anymore, he is still highly involved with CBOTW which is nice as hes given me so many ideas to move forward, even on my own as well. The collab post up is coming very soon on social media!

My Final Thoughts on Amazing Race Canada 6

             It has been over 2 weeks since Amazing Race Canada: Heroes Edition has concluded it's season and in today's blog post I want to briefly talk about it with my thoughts as I have now had 2 weeks to think about it and I want to briefly talk about it in today's Blog. First thing I would like to say is, am I happy with Adam and Courtney winning? Of course I am, just really hoped to see Martina and Phil in the final 3 but it is what it is and I am so glad they went that far and honestly I would like to see them both back in another season of Amazing Race Canada in an All-Star edition or Unfinished Business if we decided to go a similar approach like the states did.  Also would also like to see back Leanne and Mar to come back along with Todd and Anna from this season but this is only my thoughts or opinions.


               However I really, really did like this season, the last 3 seasons I actually did enjoy and was excited for the past several seasons and I cannot wait to see if it gets renewed for a 7th season and I will be talking about that in a bit. I was really excited this season for a few reasons. The first point I want to make is both Martina and Phil followed me on Social Media which I got excited and i mean excited, excited! Also I couldn't wait for the next episode to see what happened. This season I was very invested in the season and got right into it compare to previous seasons and I am not sure why but that's OK, was a season I will never forget actually. 


             Finally do I think they will renew for another season? I think so, I think they will do another season and I cannot wait to see what kind of theme or where they go and I like the mixture between countries outside Canada and actually in Canada so I really like the mix they do in the season. Let's just say our version has a very unique touch to it.

The Binding of Isaac Video Game Progress! [UPDATE]

               The video game, The Binding of Isaac, it's been a crazy adventure and yet I have not yet finished the game. It has been some struggles during the game and I can be honest, certain parts can be frustrating and it has been really hard to go all the way then fail in the end when you are close to defeating Mom, one of the bosses in the video game. However there is the positive side things I am getting much stronger in the game and getting the skill I need to get 100% Platinum God. The one thing that does fear me is getting to the devil or Shioeld which is the other boss I have to deal with it but if I put my mind to it, I am sure I can beat it too. I can honestly say, I almost actually beat Shioeld and quite a proud moment for me to almost beating it. I still got quite a way to go, I am not even half way right now, I am at 44% completed with 1001 Hours playing the game. 


             My plan moving forward is to get all the challenges completed along with any other goals that I have in the game. I got 56% and the number is getting smaller and smaller but in time I will have completed Isaac and ready to move onto to Rebirth which i actually do got. I bought it months ago, hoping to have beaten Vanilla Isaac but I do play it from time to time when I got some free time to play a little video games which is becoming more often now with my schedule very much clear. One thing I am worried is beating a level in hard mode but hey i am definitely up for the challenge and I think down the road hopefully before I leave for the US but when I get back I will get back into the swing of things as of October. Again I will talk about it a week from now when I am 24 hours from actually leaving for Minnesota with my parents. I am excited to complete this game and move on with Rebirth and After Birth as well.

St Patties Day and Card Playing Episode of The Entertainment Man Talk Show (Throwback Thursday Story)

            Decided to give you guys another The Entertainment Man Talk Show Throwback story and like I said before, I got plenty of em to give to you guys, such as this one particularly was a neat story and was a running joke in the series from season 2 and on as it made the show much more funnier and the views went up greatly on em too which is great, it was always about what you guys liked in the way of content and making sure it was entertaining as well too!  First part is the St Patties Day episode which was a fun filled episode which i actually cooked up col cannon which is an Irish dish. We actually were picking on someone we know but all in fun at the end of the day and I still yet to give Gordie that Col Cannon recipe to this day, dang it! lol. Also it was so much fun to do and I will never forget this episode ever.This day also was actually on St Patrick's Day, we scheduled the filming on March 17th. 


                The next part is the card game episode where we play and talk about playing two different card games, first UNO which is now a popular game to this very day and of course a very fun game to play as well. I believe it was UNO that we started with, had to remember almost 10 years ago since we shot that episode actually, it's... been a long time since this happened but it will be a memorable episode that's for sure and maybe I can do a post for my all time favorite episodes of this series at a later time and date. Anyways, next on my list is The Skip Bo game which both Eric, Gordie & I played a very short round of Skip Bo and of course I had to say the word s**t on camera which had to be bleeped out but still fun times as McJuggernuggets would always say. That was one of my favorite episodes during the season but to be honest that was one crazy season with 42 episodes between September 2008 - June 2009 but that is what I think. I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I miss you guys already as this is pre written and i am now in the US with Family at this time of you reading this post.

Not Afraid To Take Risks In Video Games

              I came into this topic from playing The Binding of Isaac which I will be doing a separate blog post on a progress update but I was playing the game and I am not afraid to take risks with the game, I am able to take a risk for example if I want to take a devil deal and take a damage up upgrade, I will not be afraid to take a risk, yes it is a risky move especially if it take you down to 2 red hearts and a bunch of sole hearts but I noticed even with that I managed to stay on the right track with that but eventually did die. Also the machine that takes hearts but gives you coins for it, if I have a ton of hearts and I am not afraid to try and break the machine to get the blood bag to get more hearts and I am getting actually pretty good at this too, I have figured out when the right time to do it and the wrong time to do it.


               Also there is the nail item that gives me sole hearts and I took that item and I kept on giving so many sole hearts, it really helped me and got me right to the end of the game and I actually beat mom, beat mom's heart and completed the level all together. I am even taking risks with the challenges as well and trying to figure out what works and what doesn't work for me in the game but sometimes it doesn't and that's OK if it doesn't. I can actually admit that I am a risk taker, I am not afraid to actually risks, I love it actually. I love to take the risks in the game, just call me a risk taker honestly.
