Life After The Studio Renovations

                  Since my space has been recently renovated and I've been back, life is great at this point. Utilizing the space on a regular basis and been working non stop and been in my studio majority of the quarantine when I wasn't upstairs watching TV or playing games. Recently added a to part of and old desk piece to my side desk and trust me it's helped me a lot recently especially with storage. I need the extra storage but really I have a ton more room then I did before which is a great thing. Honestly I have recorded a bunch of podcasts even before the shelves went up but the point is, I love this space and been taking care of it on a regular basis. Even been wiping things down like the phone with the wipes to ensure no germs on it whatsoever. Dusting and vacuuming the rug that is under half of the furniture but with our super duper vacuum it made the floor really makes the cleaning job awesome!


                  Don't get me wrong, I love this studio and there will be a ton of recording done in here! Only thing is there will not be any guests in studio at this moment and I am excited to continue to record podcasts and the future and many memories we will make with this studio. I am sure we will have a lot of new memories. It is nice to have back the studio lights that use to light up the green screen which really renders useless at this point as there is no way to hang it up with the ceiling now so I kind of wish I had my chair against the wall and the green screen against the wall unit but would of been a bit difficult and quite a setup to do. However I have adjusted to the background that I have behind my chair and gotten adjusted to it honestly. This is probably the best setup I have ever had ever have and this is probably my favorite setup out of them all to be honest!

Been Over Thinking This Whole YouTube Thing!

                I feel like I have been over thinking with this entire YouTube thing to be honest and this is why I am making a second post for today. Least you cannot say I am doing content. As you know the team and I are preparing to bring Everything About Reality TV Podcast back to YouTube and I spoke to you guys in the early afternoon about the state of our podcast and that we are planning to return to YouTube soon. After this post went up, I had time to think about things and I think I am definitely over thinking things and I wanna for now take these steps to grow the podcast channel of ours:

  1. Not worry about earning money from the channel and take the time to really grow the channel and build up the viewership on there over the course of time. 
  2. Bring on the shows that we are going to cover on the podcast and fans from the Audio ONLY Platforms. Which really prove to be quite difficult to do at this moment as we are between seasons however. 
  3. Get the hosts setup to stream on the channel and try to stream on the channel to ensure they are up and running on the channel. 
  4. Not to rush the growth of this channel and really grow it slowly. I do not wanna push the channel too fast and was at fault for that when I wanted to launch the channel at the end of a season.
  5. Make a guest appearance here and there and I made a promise to Billy to come on one of his Survivor Recaps as we couldn't make it work with the 2 of us.
                  Those are steps I want to follow and really take the time to adjust to the video side of things. Honestly I will not be live on there as much as you guys think but Chris (Reality Teas) and Billy will be on there most of the time and I am on there on February/March each year. Right now we focus on the Audio ONLY stuff and YouTube will return one day soon. We have to do it when the time is right and with a month to go till Big Brother is to air, we just do not know when it will air to be honest. Just gotta take one step at a time especially with YouTube.

What Is The Status of Everything About Reality TV?

                  So I know there is one big thing that wasn't on the list and that is on everyone's mind right now! Yes I realize the big announcement of the current season is still up in the air and I do know a bit of information right now but not enough to warrant an announcement. However this post is about the YouTube channel which is at this point sitting around gathering dust and we are currently waiting till one of the video platform shows which is Survivor which just finished and Big Brother Canada which were waiting for a Season 9. However the question we are waiting on Chris's (Reality Teas) Big Brother 22 Podcast which is one of the reasons we do not even bring up the channel and it's been very radio silent with YouTube. So the answer is we are waiting on the news. Might hear more this week, might not. Today we are supposedly hearing about the Fall lineup today at some point but I am not sure if there will be an announcement separately for Big Brother so it is information we are truly waiting on at this point.  


                  However I can hint as I am not ready to announce it fully there is something in the works for this summer which means the podcast will be active and no I am referring to Entertainment Man Podcast coming back, it's in the lineup and you guys know when it's returning but more like something else is in the plans. Also I got some interesting news which entails the podcast remaining on the air and could have time off between, but you guys will find out soon. We will do a massive post from our team, whether it's from me of the team there will be an massive update coming! There is at least 2 - 3 more shows till we know further. So in conclusion YouTube is on hold for now and kind of why we only currently have Staff that is subscribed at this moment of time and we hope soon we can role out video finally!

Power Rangers Time Force Got Me Hooked!

          I know this is been silent for quite sometime but today, I am officially getting into watching Power Rangers Time Force and would like to get to Episode 20 today. I figure 5 hours = 10 episodes. If I can endure 5 hours a day then I definitely can try and get it done. When I get on a roll I get on a roll and trust me I am hooked. It only took me one episode and I was instantly hooked on the show. I absolutely love this season and I know I am not far into this season yet but I will today at some point as I will be getting to work with the season. Either way one thing I didn't know was Wes and Alex are played by the same actor but I will be covering that on the podcast. Least i am hooked on the season and excited to be continuing on with this season and cannot wait to make a move on this season.


           I am looking forward especially to the cross over from Lightspeed Rescue and we have seen as we normally see but anyways I am thrilled by this season and excited and ready to go and to make a tear on this season and get ready for the fall. I find it easy to get hooked on a season but also it is tough to get bored of a season. I can say this, I had a hard time with Lightspeed Rescue and ended up just giving up on it to be honest and to a point where I had to stop but I know I had to watch it for the podcast and once I got into it then I was definitely hooked and enjoyed that season but this time I am instantly hooked with this season.

               Hello everyone once again, here is your updates for Sunday, May 16th, 2020. It has been another crazy week for Chris and the team and him and I have been busy with the back end of the website. What do we mean by this? Well him and I officially completed the website menu bar and pages re-design which took us a very long time to complete and finish up. Now I am looking at tweaking the CSS and to make the page a lot more responsive to the pages as it has not as responsive as of right now. We're always looking to improve the responsiveness and better the website of the website. 


                As you guys know Chris has finished "Everything About Reality TV" Podcast and we are now on the "Off Season" and waiting for what is next for the podcast. We have something in the works and is being added to the list and will be on Audio ONLY but more information on that is coming. Him and the team are trying to expand the podcast and I think it's great he wants to expand his horizons.


                Finally on this update is Chris wants me to tell you guys to put this on your calendar on Monday, June 1st, 2020 @ 1 pm EST a brand new Episode of his personal podcast is returning after 2 months of a hiatus due to him going back to Everything About Reality TV. It will give you guys some content to listen to and yes it is Audio ONLY. He has no plans to move it into Video anytime soon and this is mainly an Audio ONLY. He will be recording in a week and a half from now and excited to post it up officially!

Weight Loss Update-- I Failed To Keep Losing Weight....

                  I have been again struggling once again with losing weight and it is my own fault.  However I haven't really weighed in and haven't been eating much lately as I haven't been hungry or I have been in bed between 11 am and 1 pm EST everyday since I am up during the night majority of the last week or so. So it is hard to report on the progress of me losing weight right now and I need to first fix my sleep then I can work on the weight stuff. The one thing we have been bad with is the fattier foods and that hasn't really helped at all either. That is one other thing that needs to be fixed first. I'm sorry this isn't much of an weight loss update. I'm still fat as of right now and I'm not really afraid to say it either! LOL!!! Yes I know I am making fun of myself and I do that quite a lot and use to it.... ha-ha!


                 Moving forward if there isn't an update then I will not do any update and do a post on the Fan Page that there is going to be a different post. Honestly it is better then wasting your time reading a boring post, haha. Remember I have to remain positive with the weight loss as it won't be easy to lose it all and to be honest I haven't been walking much lately and it's my own fault but the problem is it is raining a bunch here in Ontario so walking is a bit of a problem and why the weight has recently fluctuated up and down so it really has shown especially in my belly sticking out and not many shirts fit so they remain on the bottom on the shirt pile.

Grand Theft Auto 4 Lost and Damned and Grand Theft Auto 5 Fails!

                 Recently been having issues with Rockstar Games Grand Theft Auto 4 and I recently completed the Nico missions and moved onto Lost and Damned and there was series of issues with the game in general and trust me I am not happy whatsoever with it. The first strike with this game and trust me there is a ton of problems I have had with it but the first issue it wouldn't let me save the game whatsoever and I had quite some good progress and was clearly enjoying the game so I am not sure what the issue was but really would like to do it one way or another. Not sure how to fix it honestly.  The second issue I had was a saved game couldn't load and I had to start right from scratch all over again which is quite frustrating to be honest. I really was enjoying the playthrough of Lost and Damned as I had the full version of Grand Theft Auto 4 and now I would have to start all over if indeed I was able to fix the glitch in the game. I honestly have had issues with this game in the past on my old computer and my current PC I am having issues with as well. 


                The next part I wanted to rant about a bit is Grand Theft Auto 5. This morning I installed the game and couldn't play it. It told me to uninstall Rockstar Social and I tried and I have to uninstall all games associated with it so now if I wanted to play and trust me I have no plans on playing anytime soon as I am just fed up with the issues I am having and I am going to work on other games that I have just reinstalled recently and there was a bunch that I did reinstall on my computer that I can play and GTA has my dissatisfaction but it is what it is and the game is back on the shelf. It is a fail on my part and maybe one day I will fix the issue but right now is not the moment.
