Changes With Chris B On The Web!

            There has been a ton of drama, with a podcast that was suppose to happen this fall, which will not be happening now as they host keeps either going on strike or quitting on me so I ensure you I will not tolerate anymore of that and it is now over and the decision to continue to keep on doing solo work with Chris B On The Web and ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. Also YouTube which will take a majority and why my crabbiness the last few days and why I haven't been active on social media in the last couple of days.  With the entire YouTube thing, I am not merely even happy with the website as I was being slabbed with copyright claims when my intro was royalty free and I was gonna do a rage post last night but decided not to due to the fact I would of said things I would of regretted. I have to be thankful for being on that platform for almost 10 years from 2008 - 2016 being short off 1.5 year from the 10 year mark when I joined. My intros are not copyright nor B-52's and the intro only runs at the beginning of the podcasts to intro the podcast and mostly ITS ME talking! Like what the heck YouTube! That is why I should of just STAYED Retired from the platform and that is what I am doing. I am staying retired and that channel is now gone. Don't worry Everything About Reality TV is still around but on Audio ONLY for right now... No plans to try another platform at the time. May stream video games on my extra time that's about it actually. 


              Now to the last bearer of bad news to this post, the Power Rangers Podcast you guys been listening to the past year now has been put on a Definite Hiatus as there is no longer a co-host. I have decided since this has happened I am now moving on but there will be other collaborations to come and I am sure people will be reaching out to me to collab for the website. I know Charlie and I have something planned for the old The CB Podcast back from 2014 - 2015, we have spoken and planning to actually do a reunion podcast down the road. Also a radio station and I been wanting to do a reunion podcast but that interest has gone away so it is on the shelf for now. However I am open to doing a collab podcast or one where we shoot the breeze on it or talk sports of whatever, please feel free to contact me on social media and we can arrange something definitely in the very near future!  With this change comes new opportunities and new podcasts for CBOTW and I am nothing but grateful for the opportunity to talk about my favorite childhood show for the short time it was on the air.

P.S. Food Review COMING SHORTLY! 

Top Favorite Things To Do In Boston!

                I know, you thought I was finished with Boston but this is the last of these posts before we move on to other things on this blog as this week is the finishing of the trip. I told you guys there is ton of content to cover on that trip but look forward to new posts as we continue on with the podcast this summer. Anyways here is the top things on my trip:

1) Boston Tea Party- Was interesting learning about Paul Revere and the Boston Tea Party and got to be interactive with the Boston Tea Party and threw tea over the edge of the boat so that was really cool. It answered ton of questions I had in my head about Paul Revere as I heard about it days before so that really helped.

2) Salem- Learning about individuals accused of being witches. The live demonstration of how it happened, it was very interesting and the fact I was able to maneuver around to see the presentation. It was very educational and that is the reason I went on this trip is to learn some history on Boston and the surrounding area.

3) Cheers- Yes this was the actual set they filmed the television show, Cheers on TV back in the day and I got an opportunity to watch an episode and its on my list of shows to watch now as I really enjoyed episode # 1 of the first season but it neat to be there and I got a beer glass that says Cheers Boston on it and I am only going to use it when I have a beer which I will be joining my dad for one this week. 

4) Constitution and Cassin- Was really cool to actually tour a Naval boat both of em. I thought I would only gone down one level but nope went down to two levels which was cool. Then seeing a naval ship that was in the second world war against the Germans and also the Japanese at the first start when the attack on Pearl Harbor.

5) Finally on my list is Fenway Park, now you're probably going to wonder why isn't this higher in the ranks but there is no particular order really but Fenway Park I got a lot more respect for the team as before I was never a fan of Boston Red Sox but got a ton more respect for em touring. As I said in a previous post last week, I was on the Green Monstah, got to see the press box but if you wanna know more to go back to that post https://www.chrisbontheweb.com/2019/07/boston-trip-day-3-4-5.html 


             There is the post for today, in conclusion of talking about this trip, this was my one of my favorite trip out of the one I went to. I learned a lot on this trip and it was an educational trip and it will definitely be a memorable trip to remember honestly. It was a long trip but worth all 7 days of this trip and probably will never end up in a big city again as it was a frustrating time with one way roads and the lack of signs in the city to turn off here or go here but I enjoyed it.

Arby's- Kingston Ontario Food Review

             First of all I have to say, I am sure you guys are enjoying these food reviews and today I am doing the first stop we made on the Boston trip out in Kingston, Ontario. As you know by the actual posts I made about the trip, we stopped there for Lunch and we stopped at Arby's and I had chicken sandwich which had Tomatoes and lettuce on it and it was really good! For someone that has never had Arby's it was worth trying! The chicken was so crispy and really good with the tomatoes and lettuce on it which I never tried lettuce with tomato on a Chicken sandwich but all worth it. Probably when I have chicken on a wrap, I'd more then definitely have tomatoes on it again. Soft bun on this sandwich as well which is always good. There was no sauce or anything but with the lettuce and also the tomatoes it gave it's flavor which was good. Chicken was cooked perfectly, not raw nothing. Now I would give this a 5 out of 5 and was one of the 4 or 5 that had a great review compare to some of the ones I did do. Service was really good, the girl who served me was super nice, friendly and made going to Arby's a breeze to get what I ordered.


                 Now would I go back to Arby's again in the future? Of course I would! I would definitely end up trying the Roast Beef as that is one of the items there that is very well know at Arby's next time I happen to eat at a Arby's as it is tough to go to one as there is only 1 here and 1 west of here by 20 minutes by car technically so it is hard to go to Arby's now and then as we do not have many in the area but when we get the chance then yes I would have it again. Overall it was a great experience and a great start to the holiday. The next review is Wednesday morning and it will be Cheers review, then again Friday with the final food review on the trip which wasn't ending the trip on a high note it will be like my worst food review as trust me I will not be holding back how I really feel about that. That is pretty much what is on tap in the way of food reviews and I am sure I will have some more in August with the Rib Fest if I decide to go this year and trust me I want to go to Rib Fest as an addition to it all.

Boston Trip- Days 6 & 7

             Well everyone, this is my final post talking about the trip to Boston on the final full trip and also the trip home. So basically we started out trip back throughout Massachusetts and we stopped at the fishing village which yes it was very fishy smell and we also got to see Lobster traps which I have never seen before even back when I went out to Halifax. Then we drove down the road through the little village which was quite quaint honestly like any east coast villages would look like to see. We also saw the Plymouth Rock which was huge honestly. We were told it split in half and they had to fix it and there is a crack in the middle but the age of the rock shows but very cool! From there we went to through the state of Rhode Island and yes Live PD nation as they film one of their departments out there and also yes Dumb & Dumber was filmed out there supposedly but never know, I'd have to actually look at the locations they filmed at. Anyways we through Rhode Island into Massachusetts again then right into the State of New York and was gonna stay in Albany but we went further in and stopped for the night.


                  The Hotel stunk like a musty smell for the night but it had to do for the night and the next day we continued on and got into Watertown, NY and stayed and obviously we stopped for lunch in the town at Appleby's and there is another food review that will be coming out eventually but not right now and trust me I will not be holding back how I really feel honestly. We managed by 3 pm that we actually got across the border and and headed into Kingston Ontario and on our way back home which was 2 hours from Kingston itself. So overall it was a good trip minus getting lost numerous times but such a historic city and learned a lot about Paul Revere, Fenway Park and getting to actually see the statue of Bobby Orr who was a well known hockey player and actually played in my hometown's Ontario Hockey League team so really cool to be by the TD Garden's home to the Celtics Basketball team and also home to the Boston Bruins hockey team as well. Anyways it was a fun trip and I really enjoyed myself and it is good to be back home and back to a routine again after it took me all of last week to get caught up on things. I will talk to you guys tomorrow with the next food review coming out in the morning as usual.

Tasty's Burger Food Review In Boston

             This is one of the 2 reviews did not get a very good rating but I am going to try and make it positive. We were originally suppose to go to another burger joint, however that changed as we decided to go to tasty's. Now it is a very nice quaint place honestly and I had water with also a chocolate shake which was very yummy. Now I had a burger with no tomato yet they put a tomato on it anyways so I just said the heck with it I will remove it as not always I like to have tomatoes on my burger from time to time.  The next thing is my burger was a little over cooked as it was crunchy a bit as i normally like mine done not burnt nor rare like Mid rare is the way I like my burgers normally. The final thing that really did bother me was the fact the fries were soggy as we got the half and half half fries, half onion rings but I technically wanted to try the hush puppies for the very first time as I never tried it but apparently that wasn't an option at the time.  The onion rings were very good and tasty and yes they are normally greasy but I actually did enjoy those. I know I wasn't overly happy with the experience. I should of just done the hush puppies, I probably be giving it one more star then that I gave it but its mid right in the middle.


             With saying that, I have to give em 3 out of 5 this time and if we ever go back, I probably will not be back to a Tasty's down there but I think I am going to pass on going back if that was the case but I do give the server A as he was really good and I understand the chefs were busy but it would of been nice to have a little quality control on the food and overall wasn't the greatest experience overall for me and wish I could give em more of  better rating but unfortunate I had to do this and is one of 2 not overly great experience with the restaurant while I was out there but majority of the places we ate were very good but you will always have at least one of two bad places but that is today's food review. I wasn't too pleased but in the end it is what it is. Trust me, the last food review in the bunch I did out in the States will be a doozy and I am dreading talking about it but that is why I am leaving it for last technically but it will definitely not be a fun one to write indeed.

Boston Trip Day 3, 4 & 5

          First of all on our first day of the trip, we got onto the Trolley tour and took a tour around the city to get to know Boston and it's history. We went all the way to where the Constitution and the Commie was sitting.  We actually took a tour of it which was a free as nothing is cheap when traveling but in the end it is well worth it though! Took ton of pictures and showing you guys on on the right hand side of this blog tonight since I am truly late posting this up as I had to be somewhere today. Anyways we also continued on that journey and we also saw TD Gardens where the Bruins Hockey team and Celtics Basketball team played. Now obviously I am not a fan of the Bruins, nor the Celtics as I am more a Leafs fan and also a Raptors Fan. We also looked at the Boston Tea Party which I will get to it in this post. We also went to Tasty's for dinner which a food review is coming tomorrow actually. 

              Now the 4th day consisted us looking for Fenway Park for 3 hours and we finally did find it and we also got an upgrade and got the tour on that Monday not that Tuesday which was the next day. I got to go on top of the Green Monstah as they say it in Boston, got to go to the Media booth which had a great view of the field. Also got to see the one seat where a ball flew and hit a gentleman and is also the longest ball in the park to this very date.  I have along with my dad a lot more respect for the Bo Sox which is the short form of saying Boston Red Sox. Also saw the bats from players who hit those amazing home runs with as well and we got a package with the pictures that was taken while we were there. Finally on the 4th Day we got to go to Cheers which was the original set of the TV show back in the day with Ted Danson and we had dinner and of course I had a beer in a very cool mug which you can find on my Instagram. 



                The final day I would like to cover is the trip to Salem Massachusetts an learning about the witches and the history of the people who were falsely accused of being witches and sadly were either hung or put into a jail cell. Also we did stop at a beach on the way to Salem and I found Sea shells which I did bring back about 3 or 4 of them and to give my niece and nephew one each and keep the rest for myself. I have some from PEI and now some from the East Coast in the USA. Now there was two parts to the museum: 1 the story about people being accused of being witches and what happened to them, then a walking tour of the different types of witches, good and evil like we see in the Wizard of Oz. Also while getting lost in the city of Boston, we saw Boston University, MIT, Harvard University so we got to see where the universities were by accident. Finally we got to have a look at the history of the Boston Tea party and learned the entire history and yes we got to throw some Tea overboard as well. It was a very interesting story and it really tied things up with Paul Revere whom we learned about when we were on the trolley tour on Day 3 of the trip. Anyways that is tonight's post, tomorrow is the Tasty's food review and Sunday will be the final part of the Boston trip. Still got a pile of reviews to come every second day so stay on the lookout for that as I got together a ton of blogging content while I was gone, trip wise and non trip wise as well!

Dunkin Donuts Food Review

            On today's blog, I am going to review what I thought of the Dunkin Donuts... well donuts of course! First of all I am sorry about yesterday was primarily focused on the Podcast and trying to catch up so I would be able to go live tonight. Sometimes I need to sacrifice the blog to catch up and I know you guys will understand. Anyways I went to Dunkin Donuts somewhere in the state of New York I honestly have no bleeping clue where it was so I cannot really give you guys an answer but it was one of those stops on the side of the highway honestly. Anyways I ordered a honey dip donut. The first reaction of the donut was it was so soft, so fresh and the actual glaze wasn't a mess like any other one that I have had in the past or at anywhere. It was really good and I actually had a second donut from Dunkin Donuts later on like once I got to Boston and that was good too but gooey but still regardless sooo good!  Now I never have had Dunkin Donuts and this was my first time having it ever in my entire life! The second time I went to the Dunkin Donuts I had the exact same thing and pretty much still the same results like the first time I had Dunkin so pretty much I had nothing negative to say about it honestly.


               This trip I tried a bunch of new things that I never had before and there is nothing really wrong with that honestly. That is why I went on this trip to try some new things and this year is about me trying new things and I have definitely gone above and beyond on that and so far I think it went well minus two or three negative reviews I had and I will get into that on another post. Now for the rating of Dunkin Donuts is 5 of 5 all day long! Like I said before there is nothing remotely negative to say really. Loved it and if we go back down, I'd consider going back if I wanted a sweet treat and probably end up doing their Boston Cream which is one of my other favorite donuts and will definitely try that. Either way that was the second one I did as you know that I did Arby's first but I festered up and did this one first but it is coming probably by next week set of posts that are coming as I got a pile of food reviews which will be out every 2nd day. Either way I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think of Dunkin Donuts? Leave your comment below in the comments! I will talk to you guys tomorrow with Days 3 & 4 for the Boston Trip.
