Where did I go wrong with The CBOTW Show Podcast?

              Where did I go wrong with The CBOTW Show Podcast and Last Man Standing? I think I rushed right into things with adding in Last Man Standing and people just did not seem to enjoy it so it was a sign. Also I looked at the stats at all the platforms and seems like you guys enjoyed Music City and Power Ranger Stuff so it was not the right time to actually bring Last Man Standing into the podcasts. I think I definitely rushed into things, especially that The CBOTW Show isn't that old. For crying out loud it hasn't been a year since it started up and I am so stupid enough to actually expand way to soon? Makes no sense does it? I had to go with my vision for The CBOTW Show and it seems it failed as I went too fast. You can say I went warp speed on this podcast. It's OK though, I live and learn through these mistakes and that is what I deal with and that's OK honestly.


               Now would I add another show to The CBOTW Show lineup? Well yes, of course I would but right now isn't the right time at the moment to add on another show but that's OK because I have Music City & Power Rangers Podcast to handle on this one and of course I got the other podcast as well to deal with so which means I am a very very busy person at the moment which is good. I promise you if there is another Hell's Kitchen season, I will be covering it on the podcast no strings attached whatsoever so I promise you to expand down the road and it will be a fun to expand but like I said above... Right now is not the right time to do it at the moment. I apologize for a short blog post but tomorrow I promise you I will be posting a bit longer post tomorrow here on the website.

Started to Decorate My Studio!

            Christmas season is pretty much upon us and i have already started to decorate the studio but it is not fully done as the snowflakes and other Christmas decorations are now up up but I will be working on those soon hopefully. But I have started using the lights in the studio and I rather wait till December to really start lighting up the studio for the season so in time but I have started to light things up here in my studio. I have to figure out how to put the curtain snowflakes up due to the fact I currently have my Green Bay Packers flag up behind me at the moment that may either have to come down or put the snow flakes behind or around it if worse does come to worse. This year I did 2 different levels of Christmas lights in the Chris B On The Web Studio one at the first shelf above the desk area so the new set of lights are up there. Now new lights? Yes the ones that are now at the bottom of the desk where my screens do sit on is where the old lights are setup and i got them both hooked up to a clicker beneath the desk where I am use my foot to activate the lights and I have tested it and works very well.


               I think I will wait till Larry is here in the studio on December 9th which yes it is my anniversary of when I started this 13 year journey as a media man but I do need his help with the finally touches and I think I still got my old tree that I can use here in the studio but not sure if the lights work. I thought i got rid of that tree but apparently not, it wasn't thrown away so I have it still unless my parents are referring to the gold tree of mine that could of been it but never know what she means but I will most definitely have to ask as I sworn I actually thrown it away but it's whatever I guess, I must of stored it away since stopped using it recently so I am guessing it is still in the house. Anyways I am derailing myself from the topic at hand and that is when Larry is here next time, he will be helping me finish up the studio for the Christmas and winter season as I always keep the snowflakes up during the winter all the way into late March/early April at the most. So I have started to decorate the studio and slowly getting to it and in the new year I will have to take it down as I am fixing up my desk but I get to enjoy the lights right into the new year at least.

McCafe Express Service Review....

          Making this my last post about my trip to Toronto with Dave as you guys are probably getting sick of me talking about the trip honestly and I promise you this is the final post and hope you do enjoy today's blog post as its not a food review this time, its more of a service review at a restaurant.  What restaurant well McCafe which is part of the McDonald's restaurant chain.  Now the lineup itself was long enough and we had to catch the 213 pm train as the train only ran every hour that weekend due to track work in Durham so we were quite in time to getting food and he wanted to grab something small and so did I as well. At first we had the option of going through the express option with the express order I guess you would call it I guess or the line and risk us missing the train . We did line up to order but then we made that decision it would be too long so we ordered at the touch screen and mind you it went much faster then we expected and able to finish up eating in time for the Go Train. 


            Now what did I have? I had a grilled cheese on Multi Grain brain which was really super good, so soft, tender with the very gooey cheese it was very delicious and to me that is my kind of comfort food. I am not one for usually to eat Multi Grain bread but I am glad I tried it because it was indeed really good. I love how the cheese was just gooing out of the bread which means it was was cooked enough to melt the cheese in the sandwich and it wasn't done like you would do it at home. It was done in a sandwich press as I can tell by the grill marks so it is so obvious that is how it was done but it doesn't matter how it was done it was really good and delicious too. The price was reasonable and wasn't overly expensive and no fast food place is really too pricey to be honest.  Would I do this again? Of course the service, especially  the speedy service as I said before we were in a mad rush as we had a Go Train to catch at 213 in the afternoon and it was an easy solution for us to grab some food before we head out back home, mind you it was the only real choice that we had or it was either that and go back out the door, miss this train, wait one more extra hour for a bus which would actually suck as I was crabby by that time of the day. We made the right choice and no regrets whatsoever, service gets a 10/10 in my books!

Tim Horton's Waffle Breakfast Sandwich Review

             Last Saturday as you know, I was in Toronto for the day and both Dave and I met at the mall and we decided to get some breakfast at Tim Horton's which mind you it is a great sandwiches and breakfast's that they have but I went something out of the ordinary and had the waffle sandwich which consists of sausage, egg between two waffles. I know it doesn't sound so appetizing to you guys and I know I felt anxious and nervous for trying this sandwich at first but I decided to say the heck with it and I am going to give it a shot and I was afraid to take the first but I didn't want to have it go cold on me if that makes any sense to you guys whatsoever so I took a bite into it and I can taste the sausage, the egg and of course the waffle.  However the part that did bother me was the fact it had Maple Syrup and I know that is part of the waffle when you have em alone especially but the way I felt about it I... Something didn't seem very right for me. I felt like the maple on the waffles did not mix with the eggs portion and I had a very odd look on my face at start and honestly even though I didn't like it I pushed myself to finish it up as I needed to have something to eat to give me energy for the long and painful travel as you know what both Dave and I went through.


               Now would I eat it again? Most definitely not as it wasn't my favorite item on the list at Timmies but I want to be honest and I do not think in the very near future I will be not trying it as I just did not like the taste of it especially with the Maple and yes I am a big Maple Syrup fan too but not so much with waffles, egg and sausage. Least I tried it out and see if I actually did enjoy it or not and that is what matters to me is I actually took a risk and tried something new. I can admit it was a moist sandwich and cooked to perfection and not burned or under cooked it was perfect it was just the flavoring that kind of got to me but like I said I tried it and I do not have to have it down the road again but I am glad to have tried it. I have been open to trying a lot of new things lately which is a good thing and it is always good to try brand new things. Speaking of which, tomorrow's blog post will be another food review with McCafe which will be out at 11 am EST like usual. Hope you guys enjoyed this post and let me know if you do enjoy these food reviews or restaurant reviews I do from time to time.

Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of The Grindewald Movie Review! (Some Spoilers!)

            Yesterday I got to see Fantastic Beasts Crimes of The Grindewald with my good friend Larry which got my head thinking there was a bunch of references to the Harry Potter Movies that came out before and I know JK Rowling was involved with the movie and found out it was a book originally which now I will have to go through reading the books now that I have seen the movie with Larry so it makes complete and utter sense to me how the storyline goes and I just found about it weeks before thanks to Larry not TELLING me about it sooner. So back to the Harry Potter References that were made in the movie, the first one was Albus Dumbledore who we know by now was the Head Master of Hogworts School and Magical and Wizardry. This brings me to my next Harry Potter reference is Hogwarts which is seen in several scenes through the middle to the end of the movie which is odd seeing the castle again but that really put a smile on my face as I can recognize the rivers from the movies that I have seen and of course the castle itself. Also the mention of Professor McGonagall was mentioned and we seen her briefly walking around in the hall there.  Finally I found out Dumbledore was a Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher.


             Overall the movie was good, really did enjoy it, however I was confused at points of the movie but then it suddenly clicked in as we got further in the movie how the story line went and I recognized some of the spells that were used back in the Harry Potter books and Movies as well. I like the fact they used the old castle aka Hogwarts from Harry Potter movies and also one other recognized name as well. It was well put together and soon as the movie ended I realized I think there will be another movie down the road and both Larry and I agreed there will be another movie but I just read up there will be exactly 5 videos coming out according to JK Rowling interview I read online and it is easy to Google and find on the internet as well. We both enjoyed the entire movie and I can only speak for myself not Larry but he is more then welcome to do a movie review himself of the movie on this blog post as I totally forgotten he has the privilege to post up on here as well. I hope you guys enjoyed this review and I tried to not spoil all of the movie but I made a few references in the movie but without spoiling the entire movie. If you have seen the movie what did you guys think of the movie yourself? Let me know in the comments below!

The CBOTW Show Programming Changes....

         This afternoon I made some major changes in the way things are done on Chris B On The Web. After studying my analytics for Last Man Standing, they were low and I just started to finally think clearly that maybe I need to make a change with this podcast now before my Podcast completely fails. What change you may be asking well, The CBOTW Show podcast is no longer covering Last Man Standing with Tim Allen Starring in the TV show as the numbers wasn't doing as well as Power Rangers Podcasts or Music City wasn't doing too well so I needed to make this change now before things get even worse for the podcast and it is my decision and my decision alone to make and don't forget this podcast is fairly new and still seeing what works and doesn't work on The CBOTW Show so I am still trying to get it to work properly and I am getting views on the platform even through Castbox and Stitcher just think you guys are not interested in those podcasts so it is easy for me to stop creating those now  then keep on going and have no viewers anymore. I got other ideas in my head that will work and I will explain some of it now. If Hell's Kitchen comes back for a 19th Season I will be taking on the Recaps for that show and i have done it before in the past and has been worked in the past for me it can work for me again. Originally those Recaps were under Everything About Reality TV but then I am planning on moving this one down the long road. 


              Also one other thing I would like to add to the list is that both Larry and I are planning to stop the Power Rangers Podcasts after Dino Thunder as he has not really gotten into the other episodes so I have spoken to him yesterday after the movie that we will be stopping after Dino Thunder and it is understandable it wasn't overly great but that doesn't mean I am going to stop anytime soon because I plan on watching it on my spare time to see what it is like and i plan on watching Samurai and the later seasons which are more recent to Jason David Frank, Catherine Sunderland, Steve Cardenas and a few different Mighty Morphin characters and previous seasons so either way I will be caught up with all seasons since Mighty Morphin. Those are the few changes and changes to happen over the next year and a half at the most. I think I am making the right choices and hope you all understand the position I was in to make this sudden change with The CBOTW Show.
