Chris B On The Web Weekly Update [05-03-2020]

                    Here is your updates for this week. What another crazy week for us here at ChrisBOnTheWeb.  We continue to social distance ourselves here in Ontario and we continue to keep the studio in complete lock down for right now we have made some progress with some new features on the website. So let's start with the website; we moved very quickly with the website and it took us a few days to get the design of the menu bar working and it does work but we hope to tweak it a bit more but most part it is done.  We are working on the pages now and have gotten Survivor & Big Brother Pages done and finished and moving at a fast pace to getting it done entirely. My team for the website has done a phenomenal job even tho we lost our website admin but another one was hired on but that is besides the point, the point is we are getting things done on a fast pace and hope we can get the job finished and I think if we continue the path we are going right now, we will indeed get even half way done at the most this week. After Survivor, Big Brother pages we got Big Brother Canada, Amazing Race and Amazing Race Canada for the active podcasts then Celeb Big Brother US and Music City CMT for the shows we do not cover anymore as they are no longer on the air. As I said yesterday's post that I am working on Power Rangers and started to watch the show again while working on the page. Now Social Media wise, we have lost followers on both Twitter and Instagram but gained a couple which is good. Instagram we're up and down for the most part but I think the Instagram is more tailored towards my own personal account which I promote still as you guys seem to enjoy my posts about podcasting and just life in General and the only personal account you will see out of it all. Anyways I am very impressed with the progress and I have noticed I have been a little more patience but still have my moments.


                 Now Everything About Reality TV and Power Rangers Podcast is next on the list for updates and there has been a lot of ups and down with trying to figure out shows and came to terms that for right now, to put the podcast on hiatus as of May 15th at midnight which means podcast content will come to a break and right now we will be lacking podcast content but like I said above Power Rangers Podcast isn't on hiatus either as it's possible to get done. Power Rangers Podcast, I'm working on Time Force right now and wanna get it done in a week to week and a half to ensure I can get moving on the next one so we can get typing up the notes and I can forward them to Larry in case we are still in lock down we have a backup plan to record through Discord or Skype. Anyways that is the updates for this week, it's business as usual even tho we hit a roadblock with production with the podcast but it is what it is and we will make the best out of the situation and that is all we can really do.  We are hanging in there and trying to find work to do and keep CBOTW a good flow and we are still going at a strong pace. Anyways I will see you guys in the next post tomorrow have a good rest of your Monday.

What Will I Do After Everything About Reality TV Podcast Finishes This Season?

                        First of all getting use to the new version of blogger as they changed the layout and honestly liked the older version but what can you do? Anyways that is besides the point but I was asked what am I going to do between the seasons. First thing I want to say is this is just a hiatus, it is not cancelled. We will be between seasons and until we know the status of shows, we're on a break. I wouldn't even call it a hiatus but more like a break from things really. Well as you know, Larry and I are scheduled for July to record and I have to continue to watch the series and more then likely what I will be doing while I am working on the website today but besides the point.  Watch the series will take a few weeks to watch and finish but even after that start working on Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder for the Fall so I can make sure were on track and even beyond that! What do I mean by this? I also wanna make sure January's podcast is ready and I want to get a bit ahead of myself so I can keep the schedule as it is. I have to also finish the website up and it may take a few weeks more to complete the entire project. So that is another thing is I will be working on the site and watching Power Rangers so I will be multi tasking to get it done. There is a lot of different things I can do but Power Rangers and Website has the priority right now to be finished and I know I will get it done. Also I have to remember it takes a lot of time to watch the show and episodes and I am actually now at Episode # 8 so I am making progress but sure I will make a ton of progress today and so on. Also I can say this as well that I will be once the website is done and working, I will be working on Off Season Podcasts in case I want to do some before the next season starts but again we do not know when shows will be airing again right now but always good to be prepared ahead of time and I know there is episodes that I did I could do on an off Season again but I have to locate it in my archives box where I keep past notes so there's another task for me to do is locate the notes and I already put it on my list of many things to do. There is plenty of different longer tasks and shorter tasks that I can do honestly and keep me busy over the time we're off from the main podcast series.


                           Yes, I will miss podcasting but don't forget that in July, we will be recording the next Power Rangers Podcast and we're 2 short months away honestly and excited to be sitting down but we do not know if he's going to be coming to the studio as we're still in lockdown and we honestly do not know the outcome yet and they hope to start opening things up but they will not be lifting the social distancing and I think it will be the last thing they do but is OK with me. I got things I can do and plus like I said in an update I have been playing games with my parents on and off, watching TV shows and so forth so I am busy and will continue to be busy. Also now that I have figured out the issues, I think the pages will be done even quicker as we know how to fix the website and will continue to work on it. Work is still being done and with the extra time with Amazing Race now postponed till later this year we have extra time on our hands and we get more time to actually plan and get things rolling with new content and excited for what is next for the podcast. So in my final words is to stay tuned for more content, keep following us on social media for more information and I think this is the best decision to put the podcast on hold after Survivor till we know what is next and we will get through this together.

Weight Loss & Personal Update [05-02-2020]

              This is a two in one update for today's post. First with the Weight Loss Update. Now as you know, I have been trying to lose weight and honestly hasn't been easy whatsoever to lose weight and recently been down to 226 pounds but it seems to fluctuate and I need to remember I have to watch what I eat, especially in the evenings and yesterday I had Ice Cream with Butter Scotch and definitely not the right move but I should allow myself at least one fat day and didn't do that recently. So I have been fluctuating from 226 - to 228 and I really need to start losing the weight. I only had breakfast yesterday as I wasn't really hungry at Lunch time which is fine really. That sometimes makes a difference at times. However I am trying the hardest I can to lose the weight and to be honestly, I need to work harder at it. I will lose the weight don't worry even if I need to cut back on things like eating after dinner and not done much of that really recently. 


                Now the personal update that you guys are wanting to know. How have I been, dealing with being locked in the house pretty much almost 24 hours a day, 7 days a week minus my weekly trips to the corner store and walks around the area? I am hanging in there, I am in good positive spirits. I am happier then I have been and honestly been busy with Chris B On The Web and preparing things which I will get into Monday on a post. I have remained busy with the website with website stuff. Other then CBOTW, I am staying inside playing games with my parents and going for walks with my mom or walking on my own for 30 - 45 minutes. Finally I have been watching TV Shows with my mom, Family Feud with Steve Harvey aka Baldy as I call him. So you can see I have been keeping busy and occupied and found myself playing games such as Grand Theft Auto 4 the main story, currently on the Lost Boys and the one with Tony in it. I will do a review when I have completed it.  Also relearned how to play Chinese Checkers and also Sorry as it has been ages since I played it, same with Rummi Cube I have had to learn how to play it again but I found the knack of it pretty fast. So either I am fine and very much healthy same with my family, were staying home and if we're outside were on our property for the most part minus shopping every week to every 2 weeks.

What Happened To My Super Girl Reviews?

                        I know it's been at least almost 2 months since I have done a Super Girl review as you know I have been watching the series and recently tried and watch Super Girl Season 4 and I found it, well honestly I found it confusing to follow along. I also found it strange and just finding it hard to focus on the episodes and that is why I decided to stop watching the series after 3 seasons. However if you guys or even my friends in real life talk me back into watching it, I will be back with them but right now I have decided to not do another review as of right now. I can also say that I tried to watch 2 or 3 episodes of the 4th season and just lost interest right away. Not sure tho why, I could of been in one of my not so good moods I.E cranky moods as you know we have been home non stop lately.  But there is no reason why I cannot give it another chance and you never know, I may just give it another chance and try finishing off Season 4 and then get to this current season.


                    So the idea of more reviews of the seasons aren't over yet and with us still in quarantine, I may throw it on and watch it on my extra time despite I have to get working on Power Rangers but I can mix and match while I watch it. I probably re start as I only watched a couple of episodes but it will take a lot of focus to watch it and try and actually get back into it as like I said it may take me some time to get back into it but if I do not manage to get back into it then there is really nothing I can do. I do admit I enjoyed the first 3 seasons but it has become just strange for me but I am all for second chances and I am going to give it a shot again. That is my small post and cannot wait for an weight loss update blog tomorrow as I have been moving up and down on the scale lately so I will see you guys tomorrow at the normal time and thanks for reading today's post and I'm sorry I'm hours late.

Cancelled Going To Events For The Remainder of 2020

            As Founder and Owner of ChrisBOnTheWeb, I have come to a very difficult decision late last night.  As you all know we are all dealing with COVID-19 and most of the events locally here and in Toronto have been cancelled. Which made me come to a very, very difficult decision to CANCEL any of the events that were planned into May right through to the end of the year. These are the following events that I am cancelling going to this year: 


Bowmanville Maple Festival- May 2020
Food Truck Friday, Bowmanville- June 2020
Canada Day Celebrations- July 2020
Rib Fest, Durham Ontario- August 2020
Orono Fair (Fair was cancelled itself)- September 2020
Polish/Ukrainian Festival- September 2020
Apple Festival- October 2020
The Royal Winter Fair- November 2020
Tyrone Parade of Lights- December 2020


            Now we do not know about Polish/Ukrainian Festivals, Apple Fest, The Royal Winter Fair and Tyrone Parade of Lights but as for me this year, I am planning to not attend any of these festivals as it is uncertain what the outcome of this virus will be, whether we get a second wave of the virus but HONESTLY as I said to my Staff, I do not feel comfortable going into large crowds, especially not this soon after the virus is over, just do not feel quite comfortable and it will take me some time to get use to being out and about in the public again but come 2021 we will be back at events and stronger then before. So this means any flyers, I hand out right now will be CBOTW (Including Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast) & Everything About Reality TV for promotion, nothing else. I apologize for the inconvienence but as I stated with the current events in the world, I think this is the best move for CBOTW and mainly myself as I do every single event. We look forward to 2021 Events and again we are deeply sorry as we know you enjoyed those event posts but we promise to make it up to you guys for the rest of this year.

Favorite 3 Stooges Episodes!

                 On today's blog post, I am going to talk about My favorite 3 Stooges episodes. Now I have spoken about how I got into the show and what not and now I want to talk about my favorite episodes. I got a ton of episodes that I loved and made me laugh to a point of me in pain in the pit of my stomach from laughing so hard but anyways here is my list:

1) Plumbing We Will Go- The 3 of them are plumbers and they totally mess up the plumbing, the lighting and destroy the entire house! This was on of the first episodes that my aunts introduced to me and still find the episode funny as heck!

2) Disorder In The Court- The 3 Stooges, Curly, Larry and Moe are in court as witnesses and just insanity pursues and a musical interlude with Moe swallowing a Harmonica but do not want to spoil it for you guys but worth an episode to watch.

3) The 3rd of at least 5 on my list as I cannot list every single episode is Punk Drunk where they get Curly to get into Boxing and whenever he hears the Weasel tune he goes nuts. Another episode I'd highly recommend to watch for a laugh.

4) Babysitter Jitters- Now this one is with Shemp Larry and Moe. They are babysitting this kid where he was crying and he would laugh every time Shemp would go upside down.  Now there is a scene where the clock is ringing and Moes do you hear that ringing Shemp pulls it out and he's says what's that? Shemp- a Clock, Moe says what does a clock say and Shemp being a smart Alec says, tick, tick, tick and get hits with the clock.

5)  Do not remember the name of this episode but they 3 of them, yes again Shemp, Larry and Moe are dentists and they are out west. They practice their dentistry once they graduated from Dental School. Was pretty hilarious and had this episode even on VHS when it was still a thing.


                  There is my list and hope you guys enjoyed it and please feel free to watch some of these or all of them, they are a good laugh for sure and I enjoy doing these lists kind of posts for you guys and wanna do more of these for you guys down the road and if you got ideas, please do let me know!

Late Night Everything About Reality TV Podcast Update

              I know this is a late night post and I want to address this on an additional post. I found out some information on the summer and nothing is set in stone yet. This isn't a confirmation for the summer either but more of an update for you guys. I just not long ago notified Staff and Alum of CBOTW on the 2 shows we cover in the summertime; Big Brother US & Amazing Race Canada and here are the updates I can give you guys and what I am doing for right now:


Big Brother 22 RECAPS: I know you are all wondering what is happening with our Big Brother Recaps as the last several summers, we have driven away from those recaps or abruptly end it which I know wasn't very professional but this is now not back then. Honestly our last season we covered was Big Brother 19 and with the state of the world with COVID-19 there has been rumors of the season in Limbo and they are going to cancel it which is ridiculous. My thoughts is I want them to have a season and there is NO confirmation from CBS themselves that this season is cancelled due to the virus. So as of right now I am putting on the schedule Big Brother 22 Recaps W/ Reality Teas (Chris) and saying it will happen for right now. I'm not promising it will happen but gotta stay optimistic and positive it will happen as CBS has said so. Yes the Recaps are on the schedule as of right now.


Amazing Race Canada 8 RECAPS: I have heard NOTHING about Amazing Race Canada 8. They have been very quiet and I know we are currently in lock down here in Ontario and Canada and they do not want to say anything till they know for sure it will happen or not which is a smart thing to be honest. So as of right now I am leaving the Recaps on hold for now till I know further so it's on the wait list on my desk till we get a formal announcement from production themselves. That is all we can honestly do is wait it out right now. Update: We are looking at being in Self Isolation for another 4 - 6 months to a year and this may affect Amazing Race Canada 8 so I'm not sure what is going to happen. 


             It can change and I will keep providing you guys updates on the summer scheduling and I got staff around the clock, my website admin and assistant and they keep me up to speed on the situation with this. Either way I have ideas in my head in case we go into a  lengthy hiatus from a regular season but least I am being well prepared and an announcement for the YouTube Channel will be coming in about a month hopefully, don't quote me on that to when we are officially launching the new channel but the show announcements come first. This is the update and again we'll keep you guys up to date when we have more information or breaking news!
