I think it is time to talk about my favorite episodes on The Entertainment Man Talk Show and trust me I have a lot of memorable episodes doing the show but there are episodes that I would like to highlight in today's blog post today. Now it has been over a year and a half since the announcement of the series ending abruptly and Season 5 & 6 were lost, hence it's called a lost episode for a reason. Mind you, there is no particular of this list but it gives you an idea of the favorite episodes I actually recorded.
The first episode I would like to mention in this blog post is the York-Durham Railway episode which now is a lost episode, but I admit it, I had fun doing the episode and it was quite different and actually did very well in the viewer department. Now if the videos remained up, it would of been the series finale as there was no new seasons that came out after that season as you know it went through a lot of questioning whether it would continue on or not, which it didn't, I made that decision to end the series as the ideas were not too solid at the time and it was time to move on.
The next episode that is on my list is the 50th episode, I know I have some behind the scenes of me yelling at my staff, it was pure frustration and stress planning a big event, but I've changed the way things are done. Overall the episode was a lot of fun, being in front of my friends and Staff and to celebrate it's 50th episode.
The 3rd pick I made was EP # 44 or 45 or somewhere around there where the lawn mower wouldn't start and I started cursing at it and I wouldn't be surprised if it got demonetized after I couldn't access the channel anymore.
Another pick, I have made, is going to the Hall of 1873 and having the honor of filming there with my team, well I was on my own, my dad had to do most of the filming and plus we were limited on time and more then likely unable to re-schedule with the theater.
The start of the cooking episodes is another moment, I will never forget and I learned a ton about cooking. I made the shish kebabs, chicken on a wrap, baked cookies and much more in the season later.
So there is a lot of episodes, I probably forgotten but these are only a a few that are on my list, if you followed me since those days, I recorded 76 episodes of the series and there are so many episodes that were memorable, honorable mention the St. Patties Day episode, the April Fools Day episode, playing cards, softball talk and many more. I hope you enjoyed this blog post as I enjoyed writing this blog post for you guys.
Have a great night!

Prospect's Grill @ Tribute Community Center REVIEW
Yesterday, I got to go to an Ontario Hockey League game for those who don't know, I live in a city which has one and I will not reveal the city as I do not want to end up doxed but I got to also go out for dinner with my friends before the hockey game happened and I will not talk about the game in this blog, nor ever talk about the game from last night as I am embarrassed and plus I wanted to go at it with a fan.
Anyways, I went for dinner before the game, like I said and I ordered a Beef Hamburger, I could of gotten Chicken Burger if I wished but I rather have gotten my normal beef burger. It had lettuce, onions and pickles on it, along with the condiments mustard and ketchup. The burger was so juicy, the bun was so fresh and it fell apart which means it was a fresh bun. The cook on the burger was perfect not burnt, just as I like it Medium rare. I know I sound like Gordon Ramsey don't I? ha-ha! Now lets move on to the next part, the french fries and trust me they had enough of them but I managed to eat everything on my plate last night. The fries were cooked nicely, they actually had the skin on them, which is what I love is the skin action on the fries, now I don't mind it without the skin but I will eat them with the skin on, it seals in the flavor of the fry. Now add it with ketchup or vinegar and it is awesome! Price wise, it is very reasonable prices, especially if you ordered what I did I paid about $18.60 for my meal which is reasonable. Also I got free refills on my cold beverages too which I took advantage and I got a re-fill on my drink.
Trust me I was full by the end of the dinner and felt very satisfying to have a full stomach but I really enjoyed eating at the Prospects Grill and I will rate it 5 out of 5 stars and in the end I would go back to the Prospects Grill for another meal and never know I may try something else different and see how it tastes, but all I know they will see me again in the near future, next time I'm at a Gens game with my friends or with my family members, I'll be back for sure!

What Do I Do When There Is No Events To Go To?
I have never talked about this before and I think it is time to talk about this topic at hand tonight on the blog. What topic am I talking about, well what do I do during the months I am not as active in the community taking pictures and blogging well, as you know it takes a lot of planning and writing out notes for the off season podcasts and the recaps itself, so a good portion of the time, I am working on that, on top of the 2018 Events, I am planning to attend in the entire year and which ones I wanna go to and the ones that don't really work for me and trust me I had to do a few changes as that didn't work out for me but added new things to the list but also experimenting with new events as well at this current time and I know 2019 there will be more changes made but you can look right here on chrisbontheweb.com and look at the schedule for an extra events that were not mentioned in the information package you get if you see me in the public and ask, I always have it but as of next year, I am again making some more changes.
I like to add in events, I think that are good and really turn out well, like parades in particular or The Royal Winter Fair, Autism Celebration as a couple examples to give to you guys. I hope to add in the Fiesta Week into the blog by next year. Taking 2 years to decide on if I am going to be adding to it or not. Now if I get shoved around and people yelling at me for no apparent reason, then I remove it. However I am going way off track of this post tonight. On top of planning for podcasts, writing topic related blog posts, there is the podcast itself of recording the recaps during the seasons, editing and posting it up on the scheduled days. There is also collaborations which now have become quite the staple on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com since announcing I was going to be collaborating with Larry and also that interview with Jeff from bowling, everyone has been messaging me on social media or sending my an email saying we would like to collaborate on something with you, which is great to hear, so I need to make that push to getting the two sets of wires I need for the mixer in order to take in Skype calls so I am making the push for it this week so I can set it up to take Skype calls and push for the collabs to start very soon. Finally, maintaining and keeping the website up and running and up to date everyday to make sure the content it up to speed to what needs to be released and posted up on the website as well. So in conclusion to tonight's blog post, outside of going to the events between May & June, September - December, there is always something to do in the way of work, I do not sit around twiddling my thumbs but I ensure you, I do get time off and time to myself a lot more then I use to when I was a YouTuber from 2008 - 2016.

Where Have I Been Since ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Re-Opened?
I know the blog has been very quiet in the past 4 days and I admit and you can tell, I've been tweeting late at night that is one reason why I have been neglecting the blog lately and I do feel bad for not posting for 3 solid days which is not normal but here I am writing an update for you guys this morning and what is going on with me.
I have been extremely busy with the preparation of the 100th episode as that is my priority right now as the 22nd of February is coming and it's coming fast and the furious! That has been on the agenda recently along with the website now up and running as you know and it's been pretty active recently but not overly active since it's downtime for 3.5 solid weeks. I also have been dealing with no sleeping at night recently in the past several days, being up at night, my health and wellness has a priority right now as well, so I gotta balance my work load and sleep in order to stay on track and recently, this has been a factor in my performance with running Chris B On The Web recently.
The plan this week is to finish up the script for the 100th Episode, then test out periscope for the 100th episode which I only got 1 viewer but with the Facebook group, I got 12 or more views and my loyal Facebook group members love when I go live and I do get some interaction and the live broadcast will be on the group which can be found on chrisbontheweb.com on the right hand top side of the website next to my mug shot, ha-ha. Other then that I have been coming up with brand new off season podcasts, planning collab podcasts with other people, an interview coming up and I've had some people come to me about an idea, so I will be speaking to them soon as I set up the mix/minus to my mixer to take in Skype calls which will be the last step I need in order to take in Skype calls and able to record with it, especially when I get guests on the podcast.
I am still around, just busy getting work done for Chris B On The Web, it is a never dull moment for me, always busy one way or the other or finding some kind of work to do with Chris B On The Web or if I got nothing scheduled to do, whether it is a blog post or podcast or any kind of written work, I spend time with the family or play some video games or watch TV/Movie on my leisure time but that is what I have been up to recently.

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Is Back Up And Running Today!
After 3 weeks of the that stinkin website down... LOL, it's back up finally and boy I had my concerns with it re-launching after quite the struggle with problems during the re-build process and it was an interesting experience working with problems left right and center but rest assure you, I never gave up at all and today marks 3.5 weeks of it being down is done... The wait is over, the site is up and running. In tonight's blog post I will highlighting and talking about the changes made to the website and why I made those necessary changes and also will be talking about what has stayed the same for the website.
First the changes that were made to the website were the blog page which use to be under the tab "Blogs" which is no longer there, since I do not blog on the other website that offered me a spot but I pulled out due to circumstances. Next, I changed the contact page to an email address , due to abuse of the form and let me tell you, I think I honestly made a mistake putting that form up as it was nothing abused and spammed constantly so the email is directly on that page so I took some action towards it and I decided to pull the form off and replacing it with the contact email, hoping this abuse will stop and I think it will as I can block email addresses when there is abuse. So I got the full power. This also includes I got the power to "IP Ban" people who wanna be abusive within the website. I will not tolerate and I hate to bring this up on here but enough is enough. This website outage came at the right time, so I, the website owner or admin of the site can make things better, improve the quality of the website and I think I did that very well. My image at the top of the website next to the banner and also the "About Chris" page image was also changed to that same image like the top of the website. Also updated my Bio on the About page to recent information and easier to understand then before.
What is staying as it is? Well first of all, I am leaving the podcasts. interviews under the On-Demand tab if you roll your mouse over top On-Demand when the website re-opens tonight it will pop up with interviews, if you roll interviews it will list the interviews I have done and so forth, so that hasn't changes whatsoever. Home Page still the same, but other then that a lot of changes and tweaks made to the website has been made and trust me I am excited to see what you guys think of these changes that have made and hopefully this makes things easier for not just me but you guys as well!
Have a great Afternoon!

What Inspired Me To Do Podcasts?
Monday, I was on the bus going out to do some running around when I was starting to think, I don't think I have covered this before, nor you guys have known what got me into podcasting. That is what today's blog post is about how this all began, how this came to be. However, you all know Everything About Reality TV began on YouTube but you do not know how I got inspired to do this. It took it a few years for me to embrace the idea of doing it full time. At the time, I was still doing YouTube at the time however I had a podcast of some sort but that was cancelled after a few months and I left it after that with the podcast world and primarily focused on YouTube.
Now you are wondering what inspired me to do podcasts? Well, some of you who have been following me since the beginning of social media presence back to my days on YouTube days. So back in the New Year of 2012 which I was still currently a student at college at the time but I decided to join the campus radio station, Riot Radio which ran from February till April, 2 months but it was fun. It taught me how to string together a good topic between the music to fill in, like even local music events, music news, anything interesting, even the the local weather. It also taught me to not be very nervous behind a microphone or on camera, which Riot Radio was not only Audio but also video, a visual radio station. Forwarding to 3 years later, with The Entertainment Man Talk Show on limbo I started podcasting with Everything About Reality TV and the rest is history!
If you are wondering, Everything About Reality TV was inspired by Rob Has A Podcast and even Rob knows it as I mentioned it to him and thanked him for being an inspiration to me. So it is a two part inspiration to why I started to podcast. Also I have the passion to talk Reality TV, as you can tell from time to time, I can run my mouth on Twitter about it... LOL... It's the drive and passion I have for this, YouTube kind of died down for me after years of being loyal to the platform but I love to podcast, say what is on my mind, and also talk Reality TV or other TV Shows out there!

Vlogging VS. Blogging, Which One Is Better?
I have been holding back this for quite some time now but I want to do this blog post Vlogging Vs Blogging which is better. This is only my opinion and what I think is better. Now as you know I have been through both now, vlogging on YouTube for 700 plus days and blogging since the days of The Video Projects Team when I was still mainly a part of my old team which is now in the past.
So vlogging is where you blog your daily life or what is on your mind. Now like I said above, I vlogged for over 700 days which was fun, however it became a chore to vlog my life everyday, edit the vlog and post it up, it was just too much for me after 700 days of vlogging, I ended up stopping the daily vlogs and moving to a couple of times a week. It was really fun tho when it came to the actual days we were shooting The Entertainment Man Talk Show or another series I had going. Also I had to be careful what I vlogged, especially when it came around the copyright end of things with the music especially if I was in the mall or somewhere where music was blasting so that was quite tough as well.
Now blogging, I can talk whatever I want, again my philosophy is I try to keep it clean, keep it real, not bad mouth people or put people down, but yes I will say what is on my mind but keeping it clean and not putting people down. Also I can talk about a topic whatever that is going on in my life or something that is trending out there, events I go to. Plus I like to write and I am quite good at it too, getting better and get quite the views for em compare to vlogs, so bit of a difference there.
Which one do I prefer? I prefer blogging as again I like to write and I can say what is on my mind without limited to time as I tried to keep it to a limited time for vlogs each and everyday but here people can read it within a couple of minutes. I enjoy the aspect of I can actually take photos and post em up on here as well and I really enjoy photography as it is relaxing. I also find it easy to explain better in a blog then a vlog, so that has it's perks, so blogging is much, much better.

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Update
It has been a crazy last 3 weeks since ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and I found out there was problems in the back end of things with the server the website is on having a few issues, also the website builder had some malfunctioning going on, then the website going to sleep when it usually is down for the hour every night at 3 am EST, which I had to deal with that in the afternoon, which made have some doubts, if I should re-open the site but I promised you guys I wouldn't lay down and die on this website. I work everyday to ensure it is running smoothly and come November, change will be coming for ChrisBOnTheWeb.com as we transition to a new provider and one provider only not a domain with the domain provider and then the web builder, I got one lined up and excited to be moving over in late 2018, early 2019.
I admit, my stress levels haven't been great lately but you have to admit, you have to give me credit when credit is due, I am a fighter and I have fought to the end to get the website back up and running and being a success again, like it was when it was running smoothly for months on end there since September of last year. and I hope it will be like this by come March, the site will be on a steady pace to success because the amount of site visitors tells me people love my website and people are always popping onto the website. 4 days from the time this post goes up tonight, 4 days and counting till the website goes back up online once again and I am ready to have this website be the talk of social media once again.
Honestly I wish this didn't have to take 3.5 long weeks to get back up but "great things come, to those who wait" or "patience is a virtue" and you guys have been nothing but showing your love and support with these last stressful last 3.5 weeks of hell for me and this wait will be well worth it. Not only I re-coded the entire website but I tweaked 2 pages and two of the graphics. The first thing I changed was removing CBOTW Blog from the Blogs tab and CBOTW Blog now stands alone compare to what it was at the start of 2018. Also the contact page, due to "spam" and "threats" I have now provided you guys with the contact email which I do have the power to block emails if people wanna abuse the email system again. Finally as I stated on "Social Media", I have changed the top picture of me to the picture for 2018 but also changed the image on the About page to the current image as well so this way everything is now up to date. Again you have to give me credit, when credit is due and I have come a long way since the start of running this website under the domain and learning how servers work and I think I am doing an amazing job and I am sure you guys are proud of me! 😄

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (With Spoilers)
First of all, I know I covered this, however I went without spoilers of the movie and it's been a month since the movie came out and I think I am in the clear to make more observations on the movie at this point of time with it being a month and I am pretty sure everyone has seen the new Star Wars Movies.
Now, I wasn't expecting a lot of things, like I said in my first impressions post like I thought Leia was going to die when Kylo Ren shot those missiles from his Tie Fighter which mind you Darth Vader has the same similar fighter like Kylo had in the recent movie and that was a comparison I noticed between the original 3 movies to the ones after Episode 6. The next thing that I thought was the entire Luke Skywalker thing, when he fought Kylo Ren, I thought he actually appeared at that planet so I didn't know it was a hologram of Luke from another planet. Now the part of him disappearing to the point where there was nothing but his robes left as you know that was what happened to Obi Wan Kenobi back in Episode # 4 A New Hope. I didn't think he made himself this mentally exhausted to a point of him dying. I was like ok, what the heck just happened in the movie.
Another thing was I saw the AT AT's the walkers that we saw in Episode # 5 The Empire Strikes Back which is the first time we have seen since the 5th Episode in the Star Wars Trilogy. There was a lot of what the heck moments during the movie, it is hard to remember every moment. There are theories she could of been family from another character as she isn't related ton Emperor Palatine at all. Also another question I have is how are they going to write off Leia's character as we all know Carrie Fisher passed away a year ago back in December and I heard rumors they will use older footage from the past, but not sure how that will be used which would be hard. They cant really use footage from her back in Episodes 4 - 6 unless CGI is used and CGI stands for Computer-generated imagery which actually used for the younger version of Leia and also Grand Moth Tarkin in Star Wars: Rogue One, so anything is possible and can happen in Episode 9 in 2019.
Have a great Afternoon!

Now, I wasn't expecting a lot of things, like I said in my first impressions post like I thought Leia was going to die when Kylo Ren shot those missiles from his Tie Fighter which mind you Darth Vader has the same similar fighter like Kylo had in the recent movie and that was a comparison I noticed between the original 3 movies to the ones after Episode 6. The next thing that I thought was the entire Luke Skywalker thing, when he fought Kylo Ren, I thought he actually appeared at that planet so I didn't know it was a hologram of Luke from another planet. Now the part of him disappearing to the point where there was nothing but his robes left as you know that was what happened to Obi Wan Kenobi back in Episode # 4 A New Hope. I didn't think he made himself this mentally exhausted to a point of him dying. I was like ok, what the heck just happened in the movie.
Another thing was I saw the AT AT's the walkers that we saw in Episode # 5 The Empire Strikes Back which is the first time we have seen since the 5th Episode in the Star Wars Trilogy. There was a lot of what the heck moments during the movie, it is hard to remember every moment.

Why Do I Want To Go Back To School?
There are a lot of reasons, why I wanna go back to school and I am going to talk about it in today's blog post, now that I got time to start writing blog posts earlier with the completion of the website re-building process.
The first reason I would like to give you all for the reason I want to return back to school is I wanna learn, I want to expand my education, I want to learn something that can help me get a job out there in the working world, even if I work from home in the long run. Now what am I planning to take? Well, I am planning on taking web design, as you all know I have been running a website since 2008/2009 and learned the HTML, Javascript and IFrame on my own via the internet and also YouTube as well.
The next reason I wanna give you is finding work here in Ontario and/or Canada is not overly great, it is a tough world out there to find work, I am lucky I had that 4 week job trial but unfortunately quitting after 4 weeks or the contract came to an end. I have made going back to school my number priority to eventually go back to school if finding a job doesn't work out for me. What steps do I have to take to get to this step? well, I have to possibly go back to high school class for college English in order to apply to the program I want to take at a college but that's OK with me though. It takes baby steps and I know I can get through these small bumps and then move into the world of being a college student once again for the 2 year web design program. It would be our local college I went to for the CICE Program as it would probably fit me better, however I could do online studies from another college from Toronto but not sure if it will best suit me if I did online studies.
I may have had not many reasons for going back to school but the one reason is to try and start earning a living, moving out on my own, being on my own, hopefully get a girlfriend one day. But the most important thing is I want to better my skills at building a website and learning new elements to building a website.

Weight Loss Update (01-22-2018)
Not much to report on with the weight loss, I am between 221 and 223 pounds, which mind you it is better then 239 pounds like I was before, but it is hard to surpass this number but I am trying my hardest and one goal I made is to have one fat day where I can eat whatever I want that is usually on Sundays as sometimes Larry pops over from time to time, depending on his schedule.
I haven't really changed what is in my diet is with the amount of calories I intake everyday, trying to stay at 1800 as much as possible over the last little while but minus the one day a week I have for a fatty day but other then that I make sure I follow it to a tee and make sure I do not cheat on my diet whatsoever. My thoughts is, the faster I can get to my weight goal which is 170 pounds, the faster I do not have to worry about following my diet anymore. Trust me losing this weight has helped my right knee out quite drastically and I am not in as much pain as I use to be and sometimes I go weeks without problems which is a good thing honestly! Now I honestly try and avoid having bread as much as possible, but I do not cut it completely, I have my 2 piece of bread once a week, then usually down to the one piece, especially when or if it is toast I am having. One other thing I try and do is not eat after dinner unless its my lightly salted sunflower seeds or a fruit like a banana that I just finished up while typing today's blog post.
One thing I could be better at is being out and being active and going for more walks and getting the exercise I need but I am always out and about almost everyday lately as things gotta get done, whether I need to run to Staples or go to an appointment or two depending on the day or what is on tap for the day. Yes I try to avoid eating out but if worse comes to worse, I at least grab half a sub from Subway but that is very rare of the time it happens. Sub isn't too bad anyways, as long its like a ham or turkey sub but other then that, that would be what I usually have but I am not a big Turkey fan so it would be a ham with mustard lettuce and cheese on it, sometimes red onions but again that is in the rare circumstances if I forget to eat and I am really starving. But other then that, the diet is doing well, slow but slow is better then losing the weight fast as it is not very healthy thing to do. Please note I am going to do these weight loss updates at the start of the month instead of weekly as things can fluctuate each and every week.

Need For Speed Shift First Impressions
So for those who didn't know I also got Need For Speed Shift in the Need For Speed Video games that have come out. I decided to give this one a shot as I had some extra money on my steam wallet and I love the racing games and once again I played Need For Speed World so I am familiar with the franchise and it is sort of similar to Grand Theft Auto but you cant get in or out of the car. This version of Need For Speed is more focused on the racing aspect, it is just like Nascar Racing. It has different levels and you have to earn your way to the top of the racing circuit which is really cool actually!
At the start, it is a learning curve with the game with the gas pedals with both the remote and also the keyboard but once you get the controls figured out then you get really good at the game. Also love the different cars you to drive in the races. Their are different cars for different races in the game which is fine, it is neat to try different cars and the feel of each and every car that you drive in the game. So yes, it is different feel in each car. Each car has how fast it goes and each and every car is different. The tracks are different from race to race which is nice to have different speeds. The difficult part I found was going around the corners but I realize now I need to lay off the speed around the corner or make a sharper turn as I go around the corner but lowering how fast I go around the corner helps if I am in the lead. I try to go full speed and take a sharper speed but yes it does take strategy sometimes and if you don't succeed the first time, you learn by each track. Again every track is different.
Now, would I recommend this game to anyone who likes racing games? Heck yes! If you liked Nascar racing, you guys will enjoy this game indefinitely! I would give this game 10 out of 10 as it is exciting, fun and hours of fun as their is tons of races to do in this game. It is different from other versions of Need For Speed but I highly recommend this game to you guys if you enjoy racing type of games.
