The CBOTW Show & Power Ranger Talk Updates!

              Originally this post was suppose to be a notice that I wasn't planning on renewing the agreement with Larry but I just do not know what the future holds for those podcasts. Mind you they have been running great lately and you guys seem to be enjoying each and every episode Larry and I grind out. It is a ton of fun to collab with a good and old friend from college.  I am not going rule out that we are not going to renew the agreement to keep on doing, we haven't really sat down yet to discuss it and decide if it is worth to continue on or not. Larry's told me he's have having fun with it and so am I, despite it is a ton of work to prep for it but I enjoy re watching episodes and seasons I have yet to see but at this point I've seen all of the Zordon era, also Lost Galaxy & Dino Thunder but plan on watching more even if we do not continue on with the podcasts but you never really know what will happen as we both haven't had the time to talk it out what we wanna do or if we want to continue.


                We could and I have mentioned taking an hiatus as I wanna focus on Music City CMT and Last Man Standing and also the other podcast (Everything About Reality TV) as well. We still got plenty of time to talk and get things settled but I think we will renew our agreement. I think Larry will tell me Chris lets continue this is a ton of fun.  He is totally right it is! I have indeed enjoyed my time doing these podcasts as part of The CBOTW Show Podcast. I know It takes up more time but not much as I watch the show at night take notes and then podcast about it in the morning. This podcast and the other one is part of my routine now and I enjoy every moment of it and wouldn't look back at the true feelings I had when it first started. The views are incredible and in time I will be also gaining subscribers, even now I might of earned some as I do not look at the feed stats too often but I do from time to time when I get a chance. 


                  The CBOTW Show has a ton of potential and if I run out of Reality TV Show's The CBOTW Show can be the replacement podcast down the road in the long run. This is why I created this podcast just in case with the recent hiatus rumors from Big Brother Canada and now the controversy with Julie Chen's husband and no news of her contract with CBS expires as of in the Fall of 2019 so we can see that happening indefinitely and hopefully Big Brother 21 which is still up in the air as CBS hasn't renewed it for a 21st Season. Anyways I have derailed on this blog but anyways I am always planning for the future especially with The CBOTW Show Podcast in the picture now.

Chris B On The Web Updates....

             I think it is time for updates on Chris B On The Web as a whole. Because there has been tons of changes and stuff coming up for Chris B On The Web and I will explain everything to you guys and what is or has been happening in the past few weeks since I got back from Minnesota. It has been a crazy last few weeks from prepping for the Autism Celebration to prepping and getting the Media Pass for The Royal Winter which as you guys know by now, I got the media pass and I am on my way to the Royal a Week tomorrow which is really exciting honestly, I can hardly hold in the excitement and to get there and explore what the fair has to offer this year.


              So first thing I want to talk about is ChrisBOnTheWeb.com which is about to to be back in about 2 months from now by the start of 2019, the .com will be back into the picture very, very soon.  Why did it go down originally? Well if you did not read my post, it got reported and it was subsequently shut down on me when I never broke a single rule or anything as I was doing what I normally doing, blogging and posting up podcasts like usual. But I know and its the truth, the provider I had which I will not name as I am still very mad at em for the way they threw me out the door and hated me since day 1 but that is in the past, I am moving forward. I was planning on going pro with them later on but that is now thrown out the window as I plan to have my .com hooked up to my blogger page as of January 1st, 2019. I already know the timeline how things will go and that is the goal to have the .com back up by January 1st. I think the blogger page is the way to go with the list of the sites the podcast is on, interviews on another page, schedule and so forth.


                The next thing on my list is I am planning on having a second host help me out with Everything About Reality TV within Big Brother Recaps. As you know I have a busy schedule when it comes to Big Brother U.S & Big Brother Canada and I want to cut my schedule back a bit. What do I mean? I am planning to do 2 recaps a week and plan on having an audition process for a second host to help out with  the earlier in the week episodes which I will be explaining once I get someone on board to volunteer their time with CBOTW to help out with this podcast. If I cannot find someone, then I will be once again doing it once a week like usual. Celebrity Big Brother might be a difficult task as it is on like 4 or 5 times a week like last season so it may render harder to it all on my own but always up to the challenge. However with Celeb Big Brother I am unconfirmed to if I will be covering it this time around if I do not get help then possibly no coverage of the show but will be watching it and tweeting about it regardless! 


                  The studio will be eventually going under some major renovations of the wall, also I will be building a brand new desk in the studio which will be bigger and better then it was before so I am definitely planning for the future. Also will be buying a second boom arm for the studio to put the guest mic on as we still got the guest mic which has to be brought out everytime we have a guest in the studio and it seems to be quite often and I love having Larry in the studio. There is always laughter in this studio. I can hear his laughter echoing the studio even after he leaves from visiting the studio.  


                  That is what I have on my list for now, well the major things going on with CBOTW and it is only the start of the changes that are going to be happening and I am sure down the road there will be more changes being made or adding stuff on. Oh I almost forgot The CBOTW Show has made it's return and it is taking Audio ONLY by storm! I haven't had the chance to post up new episodes but will starting to active as of this weekend and I am sooo thrilled!  On Castbox alone, I have had 18 plays already and the Castbox feed just got updated yesterday, so the promotion of that platform has helped greatly! All the platforms have done well and welcomed me back with open arms. They have been a great help in getting things back on track and ready to go.

My Ferry Ride To Pelee Island... (Throwback Thursday Story)

             This was years and years ago since I went on the ferry to Pelee Island, I am talking about when I was still a kid at the time in the late 90's at the most. But my dad and I took a trip down to Leamington, Ontario for a vacation even though it was only a couple of days but that was OK with me and it's sort of hard to remember that far back as I was younger then and it was a long time ago, we're talking like 20 odd years ago when this all happened. Anyways we got down there and got a campsite and got setup. I remember there was a Detroit Red Wings player that is from that town actually, Darren McCarty whom grew up in Leamington. So yes I know a bit of history of Detroit even though I'm technically more of a Leaf fan then anything else during the Hockey Season. 


               Anyways, we got our ferry tickets and we were actually on 2 different ferries going there and the first ferry we got was the Pelee Islander and it was an interesting trip say to the least as my dad has his coffee on the boat on the floor and a we hit a wave to a point his coffee spilled all over the floor. So the rest of the boat ride, all you can see is coffee going from one side to another which was sort of funny in a way. However coming home we were on the bigger ferry the Jiimaan Ferry on our way back to the main land. I was fairly young and unable to do any of the wine taste testing but would now as I am now older and able to drink, I would definitely indulge in testing out different wines. We walked around the island a bit too and I know there are snakes on the island, nothing poisonous but I believe  it is the Blue Racer Snake which has been known to be a bit of a nuscience on the island. 



             However it was a fun trip, my dad almost got pulled over for speeding but the police warned us with his lights so we got away with it that time. I would definitely go back and we are planning to go back next year in the summer for a visit and maybe bring home some wine from Pelee Island in the process. Also forgot to say We even saw and Eastern Fox Snake while staying at the Wheatley Provincial Park and I got the picture off Google.com.  Mind you the snake was massive and slow as a tortoise but really neat to see what it looks like in person. We all watched the snake slowly make it;s way across the road and back into the woods where it belongs. Overall it was a fun trip all together.

The Binding of Isaac Progress Update

          I can say, it has been an interesting runs the last little while with playing The Binding of Isaac. i have found myself getting closer and closer to the end and achieving more accomplishments on the game. Right now I am in the 40's for completion to get Golden God status in the game. It is a very long process to get 100% but I am now at 47% so I am soooo close to the half way mark to the end. I need to follow the steam accomplishments list so I need to look at it and decide which one to complete. As for the challenges I am 5 from completion and mind you I have been close time and time again from finishing up these challenges and actually it's not that bad. I have gotten to Mom's Heart but ended up dead before I got to her actually. However I am getting closer to winning every time and one of these days I will come out with the big "W" and one step closer to finishing this game finally. I have player over 1000 hours of the game, which is insane! I have been trying so hard to finish this and get into The Binding of Isaac Rebirth which I have already bought already and waiting to be installed onto my computer. 


           It is about time I finish this and I am excited to get to the end game finally and ready to complete this game. I have had this game for a good 2 - 3 years now and it has taken me a long time, however, I have gotten the knack to playing some good nifty long and deep runs within the game. I have even tried brimstone and honestly I love brimstone but it is rare to get from time to time, I haven't had it for a while and never know when it will pop up whether it is in the item room or a devil deal. It does depend if I have enough hearts or don't wanna gamble then I won't, but I do gamble quite a lot in the game. You can say got gambling in my blood, game wise not money wise if you know what I mean. I am really excited to see and how long it will take, I am going to work hard on my extra time to finish and finally complete this game so I can move on to Rebirth and the next game. I know I can do it, I have faith in myself and I know I can definitely can do it.

Had My Wisdom Tooth Pulled Today & Update!

              Today I originally had a plan for a blog post but I need to hold off as things kind of ended up changing due to the fact I had Oral surgery or in English my Wisdom tooth was pulled out as it was kind of long gone with a cavity if they fixed the tooth again, it'll come back again so the best bet was to remove it and I ended up going there for no reason the first time around but came back there today and got the tooth removed why didn't even hurt as he froze my mouth properly so it was an easy time to get the tooth out. One less tooth I gotta deal with honestly. I am happy it's gone but the pain is on and off today and taken some Tylenol for the pain which has helped and only have taken it once today and once again tonight it is aching a bit but not as much as this afternoon so I am slowly on the mend but as I said on Twitter and Instagram, will not be too active with podcasts  this week and I will get into that part soon. I was very much happy with the dentist as it wasn't my usual dentist as he is now semi retired from practice which is fine with me. The dentist I had, he was very nice and really cool. I told my mom if he takes over, I am fine with staying with this dentist as it is closer to us to go to the appointments each and every 6 months.


                So with the news of me going through with the oral surgery, I need to take a couple of days off to re-cooperate and I feel like if I was to record The CBOTW Show Podcast episodes I would be straining my mouth as I got a tooth missing now and re opening the now hole in the mouth from where the tooth once use to be. I need to take care of this first and ensure it doesn't get infected whatsoever and I know you understand and it doesn't really affect the scheduling for both "Everything About Reality TV" & "The CBOTW Show" Podcasts. It is just The CBOTW Show I need to catch up with and get back into as I have to catch up on Last Man Standing so I am ready for a week Friday when the show is back on the air once again and ready to go for another recap of the show. Give me the rest of this week to get caught up start recording, edited it then I will do a post of the schedule when it goes up and what not. Hope you all understand the position I'm in right now with this dental work I just got done and appreciate the continuing love and support of Chris B On The Web!

I Am Starting To Understand The All In The Family Storylines

              I finally understand the story line later on in the series when both Meathead and Gloria's fighting started to get more and more towards the 6th, 7th 8th and finally the 9th season. It does build up throughout the seasons and I understand how things went during the latter half of the seasons. I know you can cut tensions with a butter knife as you can notice the bickering was building up and I think after they moved to California that is when all hell broke loose but we as fans will never know what the heck happened as it wasn't part of the story arch or timeline of the show. I say it all happens for a reason and I really liked the story line and the introduction of Stephanie after Gloria and Mike left the show as they put it they moved out west. Anyways. I now understand the story line especially what I said above and especially the timeline of the Jefferson's, George and Weasy (Louise) Jefferson.  Especially the start of the series as well when George isn't present for a couple of season then he shows up once Henry, his brother leaves then George comes in but not for not a very long time as for those who have seen the entire series like I have, the Jefferson's move on up and they end up with their own spin off series called The Jefferson's which also ran a very long time. Also it we saw the birth of little Joey as well.


               So you can see I made a bit of a point at some of the major events and it shows I know some of the major events that has gone on within the show and I truly understand the timeline of events during the series and least I know and understand everything going on, like for example, presidents of the United States changed from Nixon to Ford as one other primary example within the series so there is another example right there. No matter what I love this show and now that I have completed the series I need to finish collecting Archie Bunker's Place as I got season 1 and I believe it runs 4 seasons in total if I remember what I read online as well. Either way it is one of my favorite older shows and yes i am in my 30's and only reason I got into these was cause of my parents who introduced me to TV Land channel and Deja Vu as well so that is how I got into this show.

I Got A Media Pass For The Royal Winter Fair

          I just found out this week, I was accepted into getting a Media Pass so I can do my blogging around The Fair part of the Royal Winter Fair on November 3rd which gives me all the permission in the world to take as many pictures as I want. I have had the media pass before, 2014, 2017 & this year, 2018 so 3 times in almost 4 years since Chris B On The Web existed or began it's long journey to success as you now see it to this very day. I was worried when I got home from Minneapolis that I wouldn't be getting the pass at all as I was extremely late submitting my application for it, but it wasn't too late and hey I got the media pass and I worried over it for nothing, like honestly.  I seem to worry about the small things when it comes to these things and I'm sure if I was able to explain I would but I didn't have to, I guess applications can be in within October instead.


             However I am very excited to be going to The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair 2018 and cannot wait to see both the show and the horse show and what amazing things are going to happen. I will be on and off Instagram and Twitter throughout the day and I will have my mobile battery charger for my phone with me in case of emergencies. I was suppose to have Dave come with me but that is all up in the air right now and I am feeling a bit nervous having him with me as he's not been through what I experienced so if he does come along for this adventure with me, then I will be giving him a crash course on this entire adventure and what to do and what pictures to take as for those who didn't know he was my camera man once upon a time so he has to learn what pictures I need so I guess direct him like I did when I was still on YouTube. Either way this will be a fun trip and day and looking forward to even sharing it with one of my former team members if he decides to come along for the trip, it will be once again another great year at The Royal Winter Fair!

Android Vs. IPhone.... Which One Do I Prefer?

              First of all crap hit the fan when my mouse stopped working and I had Larry over and had to go get another mouse for my computer at Canada Computers which I love the fact they are nearby and easy to get at. Anyways, we were looking at the protection cases for phones while we waited to check out my mouse and that is when I got this entire idea for Android vs IPhone which one is better? First of all, I have had both Android & IPhone, currently with IPhone at his current moment.. What the heck I said IPhone 3 times, dang it 4 now... smh. Anyways this blog post i getting so derailed now, but the question of the day is which one is better. Well I can say first of all Android it is easier to get a virus compare to IOS as I never got a virus warning sign whatsoever so Android I like but certain phones I didn't like, such as Samsung being one of them. The LG G3 wasn't bad either and I actually was hoping to get he LG G5 or the G6 which are more the latest as those phones which I really liked it. IPhone at the start I found it really hard to figure out how the heck to use it but however, I managed to figured it out how to use it minus Facetime which I still gotta figure out hopefully around my birthday I will get to do that with family if they wish to do so.


                Now the million dollar question is which one do I prefer, it is the IPhone. Why? Because I like the fact I got a lot other apps I can use, such as the podcasts app, which are hooked up to the ITunes Podcast and yes Mine is in there as well as I have subscribed to myself as sometimes I do tune into my own podcast from time to time but I will talk about it in a later time. Also ITunes are on there but I think you can get them onto a android but I could be wrong about it but you never really know as I never really tried downloading it onto my android when I had android. But I do prefer the IPhone as I said before it sure has a lot more features then android but that is only one man's opinion.

Autism Celebration 2018

              Last night I was at the Autism Celebration 2018. I found out that the event has been running for the past 7 years and I have been involved in 5 of the 7 as I missed 2015 (Due to work) & 2017, last year, due to, well err lack of funding for planning my booth. I went over my budget last year. LOL... However this year, I can say I budgeted for the event perfectly with no problems of being off budget like last year. As you know through social media I have been planning this for the past 4 months with blue printing what I wanna do and how I want to promote CBOTW. There was a few hiccups with the board but nobody noticed it whatsoever so that is good and I will not get into that. I left finish off the board till the last possible second which is the usual me but hey it got done. 


               I got at the event a little more perkier as I was moody like an hour and a half, but anyways, I ended setting up pretty quickly, was a bit all over the place trying to figure things out but managed to setup and got a chance to sit before the event started. We heard some singing and a story of a father and son biking trip which was very inspirational to me especially and inspired me with what I am doing and I got a planned blog post next week with the initial plan for CBOTW in 2019. Anyways, I got a slow down at my booth with people popping by my booth and I got to get up and wonder around and look at different booths around the floor which mind you, I never did that last year... err sorry I mean 2 years ago. It felt good to get up and mingle with other people. Now if Larry or Dave came with me, I could wonder around a lot more as I needed to keep an eye on it in case someone came by but that's OK, I can move quite quickly despite my ailing knee problem which I will talk about in a later post. One thing I loved about the event was all the questions and yes YouTube came up last night. Why? Well my podcast started on YouTube and then Audio as you now hear and see to this actual day.  After talking to my consultant at Kerry's Place I will be more involved with them as I have not been very active with them for the last several years minus the Autism Celebration each and every year. I saw familiar faces from last 2 years ago and always good to see new faces at the event each and every year. 


                Finally In want to once again thank the Kerry's Place Staff for having me and for everything they have done over the man years as I have been with em since 1996, so 22 years I have been with them and if it wasn't for the foundations program introducing me to this event, I do not know what I would of done with myself. It sure gets me out for the evening and I enjoyed myself like always and I sure as heck cannot wait for next year as I will be back bigger then ever at the next event.

I Made The Impossible, Happen Yesterday!

           Yesterday the impossible happen! Larry and I worked on for a good hour and a bit on an Audio ONLY live stream with Radio Loyalty which The CBOTW Network still had the station info on there from when it shutdown in 2015 after a really rough ending to it all. Anyways all I had to is update the banner and add back the player to the station and we were cooking with gas finally and we had a working station live on the air. Now mind you it will not be an 24-7 station but it will be on the Air when there is an podcast to do live on the airwaves of The CBOTW Network. It was a long and stressful process as links had to be updated and it was giving me quite a hard time accepting the link titles to the main website link but finally got it then added the player back and then we tested for about 10 minutes. The sound was great and all we had it on the web cam mic at first but tested out the condenser mic which worked great as well. We did all the tests we needed for when it starts up which mind you it will not be long till we start and I will get into that shortly in this blog post. What I like about Radio Loyalty it is so simple and easy to set up minus the pickiness with the link names but I found out to fix it but it is all HMTL5 based and not to worry about that annoying flash, especially with Google Chrome where you have to tell it to allow so you do not have to keep on hitting allow every time you watch or listen to a stream both Audio and Video as well. 


                   Now when is this going to happen? Well if all goes well as I am now into Power Rangers Turbo now with Zeo being completed, I am moving on tomorrow to start the next phase of prepping for this collab. What do I mean by this? Not ONLY "Everything About Reality TV" but also the Collaboration podcasts will be live each and every week. There will be certain ones that will be live as I do have a life outside the podcasting world and here is my Live Broadcast Schedule looks like for Winter & Spring 2019:

Winter 2019 (Everything About Reality TV, Season 9):

Celebrity Big Brother (LIVE on the IceCast Airwaves)

Spring 2019 (Everything About Reality TV, Season 10):

Survivor 38

Big Brother Canada


                     Now as for the not live podcasts as follows, Amazing Race & Music City will not be Broadcasted on the IceCast or the Audio Stream I have set up as I said before, I am busy with life too and I cannot do everything on the airwaves, Now I have been thinking about bringing on a co host or someone to do some hosting during Celebrity Big Brother & Big Brother, now will they have access to the Audio Stream? Of course they will. They will 100% access of the feed to stream the podcast live. I will be making sure I can trust em with the information 100% But it is in the long plan down the road too! It is exciting news and hope you all are excited for the future of the podcast as I am ecstatic for the return to a live broadcast!
