South Simcoe Railway 2025!

        It was that time of the year once again for the annual trip to South Simcoe Railway with my dad. Now I am not 100% sure but I do not remember going last year but I think we did but it is just hard to remember so far back, a year ago when and if we were there but it was different for us as we had to wait like 3 - 4 hours for our train ride as they were booked up on the 1030 am & 1 pm EST trains so we were hovering around town for several hours and mind you, I had my blue t shirt and jean shorts on and it was hotter then you know where. 

      

       Anyways, I made due with the clothes I was wearing and we had a fantastic time. 1948 Diesel Locomotive #703 pulled and pushed us. I never knew about this diesel that it was originally a shunter diesel hence the flat back end and I know this seeing CPR and CN in the yard at our GO Train station here. So I got a but more history. Also I was near the rope by the shop where they are working on the two steam engines, # 1057 and 136, the door was open and what do we see? 136 in the flesh. Boiler door open, ready and they have been very active with fixing it up and looks like they've been cleaning it too and keeping it in good shape so my dad and I are hopeful for it to return to service soon. 1057 is awaiting restoration and work to be done at this time. Anyways that is the blog post for today, as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Not Doing Seasons/Episodes on The CBOTW Show for Now....

            I have literally given up on doing seasons and episodes and it is easy for us to do that but we may down the road add in the episode #'s when it comes but seasons it isn't really possible to do but I think it's best to leave it blank but I want you guys to know how many episodes we have done, I don't know because right now I am rambling at this point and completely not able to cohearently talk like a normal human being but at this point I see no reason to do it at this point hence it has been since left empty.

             I somehow think I ended up putting the same number so it doesn't seem to add it to the amount of episodes and plus we schedule the posts way ahead of schedule and kind of the format we want to do technically. Anyways for now I will leave it as it is for now and we will see where we go with this beyond and bet you anything we will be checking all the episodes and renumbering them, however that is the blog post for the week, have a great weekend and as always, I will talk to you all on Monday!

I think our TOU (Terms of Use) Needs to be Updated, PRONTO!

              I definitely think the Terms of Use needs to be updated as we have had an good amount of trolls and bots in our community and yes I am referencing the Discord with the stupid spam from bot accounts. This has to stop and I had to remove the pinned post on X and pin something else that is more important to us which is Entertainment Man Podcast. 

             So our terms of use really needs a a facelift, more update then anything else in the world. So the the team and I will be discussing and updating whatever needs to be done and we already have worked on it and working on the server as priority # 1 for us as there has been issues. Mainly the only thing that needs updating is the Discord TOU as we list everything with the current rules. So that is priority # 1 to get a new and improved TOU. Anyways, I realize I am late with the post and that will be the post for today and as always, I will talk to you guys tomorrow!

Have Been Making Some Changes to CBOTW Media...

           The decisions that we have made has been good decisions:

No More Kick: I have gracially RETIRED from gaming streaming and regular casting sites to focus on the podcasts which we now have 3 running and I will talk about that tomorrow with the schedule being revamped moving forward with an even better schedule.

Entertainment Man Podcast: The beloved podcast makes a return to the airwaves after a month of being off for a shortened 7th season with it returning for an 8th season in January 2026. The podcast will remain on Audio ONLY moving forward.

Discord: Revamping everything and reviewing the rules of the server including our roles on there as well and how we continue to do things till I am happy so it's an on-going project at the moment. We've been dealing with a ton of spam on our server at the moment.

Website: The website has been updated numerous time and we are merely doing that till we are ready and at this moment we are on track for January 2026 of our 3rd podcast in our network that is being added. 

           Anyways those are the changes and I hope you have a great night and I will talk to you all in the morning for another blog post.

Fighting to get my Facebook Back!

           I continue to fight the good fight and try and get my account on Facebook back and if we remain banned then it is what it is. It is out of my hands and I found an email and i reached out but haven't heard anything back as of yet but fingers crossed but if it is not destined to get my account back to manage our page then it will be abandoned unless they delete it but we will see. 

            If not I am not totally sure if they will delete the page and there is no way to message everyone to follow me elsewhere but the matter of the fact is I am trying to get back where we once were at and if we were to get access to the page and my account including the old chrisbontheweb Instagram, I would keep the current one without the bots following that page whatsoever, I would actually remove that instagram so I can focus on our current CBOTWMedia. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will chat with you all tomorrow.

Sometimes Change Is Necessary!

             Sometimes change is necessary and with both Entertainment Man Podcast and The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps both out of the picture now which means more time for After Hours w/ Shane and Chris & The CBOTW Show- TV & Movies. Yeah, I've stopped the Reality TV Recaps yet it's clear as day in videos in my studio that it is still on our wall in our studio. That means nothing really... I mean there is one episode on the feed but that's it. I'm not going to say but that change was necessary as it was giving me problems like 2020, 2021 & 2022. 

            Entertainment Man Podcast, my pride and joy as the ideas were stale and also the trolls were putting me down calling me fat etc so I decided to just stop. Hey if it's not fun anymore then it is time to move on and exactly what I did. I am having a hay day with the TV and Movies with Larry and also with Bob. In fact, we will be recording a new episode Tuesday so that is very, very exciting stuff! Anyways thats the post, I need to get Corner Gas done and Hocus Pocus 1 & 2 done for this upcoming week's pocast recordings admist all the busy schedule this week and as always I will try and put out a post on Monday but if not Monday, Tuesday right through to Saturday.
