Laughter Is The Best Medicine!

So I was sitting at my desk when I got home from my appointment at 1 pm EST and was trying to figure out what to write about but I thought I'd like to talk about laughter. You know when you are feeling down and/or depressed personally I will go watch:

1. Three Stooges

2. Laurel and Hardy

3. Family Feud with Steve Harvey

4. Home Improvement

5. Watch clips from a funny movie through the Watchmojo.com's YouTube channel.

Laughter keeps you smiling and it lifts your not so happy mood into a good mood again. Even think about this: you can even put on your most favorite comedy movie and you I ensure you will be laughing the entire movie from start to finish. They also say laughter is very good thing to do and you cannot be serious all the time like someone I knew and use to be my friend. I know some people cannot take a joke and take it seriously. Life is too short to be serious and you need laughter in your life and I think that is one of keys to a healthy and happy life.

Have a great night!

Everything About Reality TV: From Being On YouTube to Audio ONLY!

        For those who been following my Everything About Reality TV for the last year and a half and know the podcast when I had it on YouTube ONLY, that is where it got it's start originally back in 2015 when I wanted to try something new as The Entertainment Man Talk Show was finished it's 6th and final season which was completely lost along with season 5 as well. So Larry and I set off with Everything About Reality TV. But let's go back to January 2015, when I did Chris B On The Web Reality TV Talk, it was the early stages of EAR TV but we officially got started in 2015 with Survivor (forget what season it was then) and also Amazing Race 27 which I became very connected with Justin and Diana from that season and an interview is coming just waiting on their word and we will get it going! Of course Larry left the team in 2016 and I continued on my own and it was very very successful gaining 10 - 20 views each recap. After Big Brother Canada 4, Amazing Race 28 & Survivor Kaoh Rong Finale I decided to take a break as you know my YouTube career was going down the drain and it did, so once summer was over and the renovations to my website to suit Audio ONLY Podcasts, I was underway and to this day I am doing Audio ONLY and the numbers have proven to be great! 

            So you are all wondering, Chris, what is the point to this blog? Well one I wanted to give you a brief history and talk about the difference in the viewership's that I've noticed since the podcast began in 2015. Well on YouTube as I said I would pull in 10 - 20 views a show, not bad if you ask me and it would be more when Larry's late cat now, as he passed away end of last year, Charlie, one of my favorite cats of his. But anyways he would always go off each and every time which was the comedy relief for the show and the podcast alone. However after leaving YouTube, I did want to continue the podcast as my career on YouTube went downhill very fast and I had to move on and do something else and with The Royal Winter Fair event coming up the site had to be remodeled for blogging & podcasting!

              September 22nd, 2016 the day after Survivor Millennial's Vs Gen X Premiered and the day Big Brother US 18 ended it's season, I was off to the races on my first ever Survivor Podcast recap since the podcast was on the YouTube platform. After Survivor Millennials Vs Gen X ended, I ended up with 53 odd views at Finale which is incredibly awesome and I am so amazed at the early success. Also just recently a week or so ago I was back behind the microphone recording the Survivor Game Changers Podcast and once again it has proven to be once again successful on Audio ONLY. Not only that, I grew the podcast onto Podcasts.com, Stitcher.com & TuneIn.com which I couldn't grow the podcast besides YouTube, well technically I could of gone both Audio ONLY and Video but chose not to but what I am trying to say I have proven on the Audio ONLY and if a new podcast started up like the CBOTW Gamers Podcast which isn't dead yet, it has been shelved for now, but I would bring that over to my Twitch.tv channel once the channel is back and hope it will be tomorrow but Adam and I were talking about it and think it would be a great idea and on top of that a weekly Sunday gaming stream but that's another day, another blog post. But not all podcasts will be live some Audio ONLY, some or one on Twitch, but once again that's another post for another day. In general, I prefer Audio ONLY, just because more listeners this way and I do not have to deal with the trolls whatsoever but I am itching the cast again in the near future again, as I do miss it from time to time! 


Have a great night!

Grand Theft Auto IV Vs. Grand Theft Auto V Comparison!

As most of you know, when I am not podcasting or blogging on my website, I play video games for fun when I am not spending time with the family or out and about and at appointments. It gets my mind off things of the website, podcasts, blogging, it really gives me time for myself for when I was on YouTube I didn't have much time for myself when I was planning constantly with projects talking to new potential Staff members to join the crew!  So on my spare time I spent tons of time playing Grand Theft Auto V and just recently completed all the missions including the 3 choice conclusion which are very interesting, 1) killing Trevor which was the essential choice I picked cause of him being crazy and interesting character. But I gotta admit tho that there is more characters then the one character in previous versions of Grand Theft Auto. Going back to 4 or back towards the first ever one you only get to control one character. However they definitely did an amazing job with each Grand Theft Auto and it always makes me wonder what to expect next on the game. 

Grand Theft Auto 4, the primary focus is on Niko, Roman, Mallorie & Little Jacob, Packie, Brucie, Dwayne and Kate but you are the entire time Niko which is fine with me I was use to it. There was a lot of killing characters like Vlad, Dimtri which was the major Antagonist in the story arc throughout the entire game but was there till the end of the story arc. There was a lot of characters killed off Mr Faustin, Vlad, Kate which was unfortunate at the Funeral scene, however if you did option 2 it would be Roman's fate that happens. Same with I either had to kill Derrick or Francis and obviously I picked Francis, I got sick of him bossing Niko around, LOL. But the fact that you get 2 options in the game at certain points of the game, I absolutely loved!  And the fact I was Niko the entire time I go to the location made the game easy to navigate.

Now Grand Theft Auto 5, I love how you can switch characters in and out of the game and the different comments the characters makes, especially Trevor who is an character in himself and is very very hilarious character! I Love the craziness between all 3 characters and a lot of shooting and action happens in the game, always some kind of action that happens within the game. I like how if you run into someone as you know when you did that in 4 or before then, they could open the door and pull you out to start a fist fight, well now when you hit someone you can end up in a car chase or the person rear ending you in the game so that sure makes it interesting. If you just start start making any noise whatsoever in Grand Theft Auto 5 a dog can come and attack you and same with a wild animal which is completely different. Finally in this version of Grand Theft Auto you can customize a car to your liking with many options like engine, transmission, brakes, customize in colors and secondary colors, its crazy, I went to town and I re-created Trevor's Mustard Truck, Micheal's Lava Car and Franklin's Sprite car & Sprite Bike and gave it the highest level of upgrades which made it fast and so wicked! That is my review between the 2 and I would take GTA 5 over 4 any day of the week but again I liked both thus far! What do I know right? Ha ha!


Have a great Friday (TGIF!)

Thank-You! [10,000 Website Views!]

Well yesterday, February 26th, 2017, chrisbontheweb.com has hit 10,000 website views over the course of a short time since adding the counter to the website, which was sometime last year but over the course of the last 2 years now it was worth the hard work put into the website day in and day out each and everyday. I love ChrisBOnTheWeb and what it has become over the last 2 years, from YouTube to Podcasting to blogging, this site has ever so much grown over 2 years time and everyday new people follow me on social media getting to know me and my website to what it is to this day which helps with the plan to bring it live at a later date, but that is up in the air right now... Now YouTube was such a fun experience and getting the comments each and everyday but it become a hassle to pick up the camera and vlog each and everyday which is the reason why I left YouTube to do my podcast "Everything About Reality TV" and I think my move to I have yet to seen it. 10,000 people IS a lot of people and it is very very overwhelming to see so many people over the course of this time. But connecting with my almost 2300 Twitter followers is the reason why my website has grown and gotten to the 10K in a fast pace. 

The plan now with being at 10K with my website, I am hoping and aiming for video platform as well with the Audio ONLY of the podcast which means schedule will be changing entirely from the time podcasts are live and to the time the Audio ONLY version of the podcast will be released which is a reason I am meeting with my in Studio Assistant who helps me off air with scheduling and other things that needs to be done within my studio. So I will put that on my itinerary for this weeks upcoming meeting to discuss the plan for podcasts on chrisbontheweb.com. I really want to make this the best podcasting experience ever and myself, Justin, Jeff & Chance have features which you will not beyond believe with the plans we have planned within the site which will hopefully double our viewers! With the chat coming it will always be opened 24-7 and there will be no guest chatting as it will bring down the trolls that wanna troll me. And another thing Chance is doing is where when you sign up to chat within our chat, yes I said our chat, I wanna make this a place we can hangout on air/off air there is only 4 rules I have and it is the most liberal rules I have had in the past, but anyways when you sign up you can only have one user account via IP, this is to bring down the amount of trolls. Myself, Justin, Jeff and Chance will have an admin panel where we can see whos on the chat and who the users are so we can take action if it gets out of control.  That is our plan now that we hit 10 thousand views on the site and I am, we are excited for the future plans of the website to grow the website even more! 


Have a great Monday! Might do another post later as a double post Monday!

Update On The Re-Build of Chris B On The Web & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com!

First of all I had one other blog to post but I can put that on hold till tomorrow because I really want to get this post out on an update. As you guys know ever since departing YouTube it has been a hard to rebuild the website from the ground up. Also having to deal with problems with my team, it hasn't been easy on the stress on me since two individuals no names mentioned quit last year which was the downfall of my YouTube career.

So now the changes: Even more problems have occurred recently with my staff. I hired 2 people and very little lack of communication, I ended up letting them go because of it. I have 1 more and they got warned I am pulling the plug June 1st, just so frustrated with my team not doing their role within my team at this point. So Staff here at Chris B On The Web isn't all smiles and laughs but it is slowly coming together. But with the change in staff once again, I think the 4 of us can handle what needs to be done and the Staff seems more steady now then it has been for in the last week. Now as you guys know, I've had my share of issues with chrisbontheweb.com Over the last month with it being up and down quite a lot. First it went down for major work to be done, I brought it back online in time for my podcasts to growing once again. Then of course the website went down once again due to a server issue which isn't surprising to me at all. The 000webhost servers has it's own issues once and a while but the site itself is back up and running and is running nice and smoothly now.

So between site issues and staff issues, it has been a busy last month and I ensure you everything is alright and I know the problems have been resolved and slowly making a plan to what I would like to do with ChrisBOnTheWeb and I got a meeting with Staff this upcoming week to what I would like to do. at this point. Finally I would like to say thank you for your patience through this tough growing pains of my website and Chris B On The Web and I think we are on the right track right now. 

Have a great Saturday!

Why I Watch Reality TV!

There is really a lot of reasons why I watch Reality TV and why I love it! The first of all is the strategy behind certain shows such as Survivor, Big Brother US and Big Brother Canada. They lying, the backstabbing, the strategy behind it all. Being in a house for 70 or more days or for Survivor 39 days on an island trying to survive the elements while competing as a tribe and individually, also voting out a tribe member 3 days apart! Also I got to know quite some memorable faces, Rob C, Boston Rob, Russell, Tony and so on! What I am trying to say is I love to watch such amazing characters develop each and every season of Survivor. Some seasons I am shocked to see a big move being made where a player is sent out of the game either before Jury or when the Jury has started. Also I love to see and hear the final tribal council each season to what the jury has to say whether it is a statement or someone is really pissed off for being back stabbed in the game when they made a deal or not.  

Now Big Brother, whether it is the US or Canadian version, I love the alliances that are made from Newport, The Chop Shop, The Brigade, The Sheyld, The First Five, Chilltown so many Alliances have either done well or crumbled fast or gone a long way but was broken up at some point of the game it is so amazing to watch Alliances succeed or fail. Also now adding a chance to get back into the game which really twists the game up. Also especially Big Brother Canada, the funny moments especially with Talla's 191999 meltdown will go down as the most memorable moment in Big Brother Canada History.

Next is Hell's Kitchen, now you will say its not cause of Chef Ramseys constant yelling and cursing is it? Of course not! I like to pick out the strong crop of chefs and go with them for my picks each and every season, yes I do yell at the TV screen quite a lot when someone gives Chef Ramsey Raw food or over cooked. I do complain a lot about the attitude and the way the chefs treat each other but that is about right for me to say something.

Finally The Amazing Race US and Canada, I love watching the places they go, the places they visit and see on each and every season. Also the UTurns are amazing to watch whether they use it or not, I like to see the looks on the faces and makes me think, if I were on the show, would I use it or not? Would depend really. But watching Reality TV sure makes me think what will happen next and who will be the next to go, also who I would like to see go next.


Have a great night guys!

Had A Dufus Moment Last Week! | Frustration Like Crazy Last Week!

Well last week was a major dufus moment and one hell of a week for me as I thought it was 000webhost servers that was giving issues, well at first it was their crummy server, then I reset the site entirely hoping it would come back online, but it was a minor step I missed that was the cause of the root of the problem this entire time! Now blaming my domain provider wasn't the right answer and I've already manned up to the mistake. Honestly 000webhost is making it so hard for use the website owners to operate the website. I am still vouching to what I said on Twitter back on the weekend which is I am still planning to get a full on package with the domain whether it is with HostGator when I renew or GoDaddy or some other domain provider website. I got a year and a half to decide where I am heading with the future of chrisbontheweb.com But this brings me into my next point which is you can imagine over the course of the last year and a half how much frustration I have been through within the website, trying to maintain it and also keep it online for more then a freaking week! Now since my site is back the views are not as good grinding around 22 views per day, however it is starting to get the viewership back, my more biggest concern at this point of time is the lack of communication within my team, my staff who volunteer their time to help me with the success of running ChrisBOnTheWeb. Just yesterday, I ended up letting go of one of the 4 staff I had. At this point I am cleaning house and as April 1st of this year, one more will go if this chat doesn't move anywhere which at this point it hasn't and has been at a full stand still for almost an entire year. I waited a whole freaking year plus for this chat to be done and has it? Nooo always excuses made or arguments made over it. Yes I understand it takes time but they said it wouldn't take more then a year and all I have seen is the login main screen of the chat that's it. So as of April 1st like I said I will be letting them go as their was no communication made since January and the dream of bringing my podcasts back live will not be happening anytime soon.  I feel for you guys and the frustrating levels of a site that isn't working half the time, however I appreciate the patience and positive feedback you guys have given me when the site has been online. That always put a smile on my face and right now as I am typing this I got a bit of a grin on my face as I am very very happy with the positive feedback and pep talks you guys give me on Twitter. I am very grateful to have you guys as a fan base and grown so much since the move to podcasts last summer. I have almost doubled from the 1500 I had last summer and hopefully I will hit 3k by the summer and I sure think I will. 


Have a great Tuesday!
