Back To Physio Again, For My Knee

            Let me say this was not the original topic for today's post but that got derailed once again, however that is OK, this is more important and I wanna be open and honest with you guys about my physical health and it's not good. All has been going really well for my right knee and I can say my knee is in really good shape as my family doctor even checked the original bad knee that dates back many years ago from a old softball injury I got thanks to a former staff member of mine bumping me with a ball but I won't bring that up its in the past. Just call me a human target at ball... LOL! Anyways now onto the left knee, he seen something that is out of the ordinary... However before I get into what is wrong, I started to worry before the doctor came in, I worried I would need an x-ray to see what's up. I worried I will end up seeing a surgeon and possible but that was not the case. My doctor found when bending my left knee there was crunching sound under my knee which mind you it's scary to hear that, knowing there is something wrong with my poor knee. My first thoughts was just freakin great first my blasted right knee all these years and now my left goes on the blink on me. I wish I told him to just cut my knees off and give me robotic limbs. I've been dealing with this crap since 2010, maybe 2009. This is what you get playing softball for 10 + years, the injuries add up, hence I am fully retired from ball.


             So the question of the hour is what am I suppose to do with the recent news I just got about my knee? Well I am required to take Tylenol if i get pain and also the heating rub which I haven't done quite yet as the pain hasn't been bad last night and I am able to deal with it right now but if it gets bad then I can take something for it and also do the heat rub on the knee. The other part is I have to go to Physio to get the track in my knee back into place before the knee cap slips out of place on me. I am glad I went to the doctor, even though I kept on putting it off till the last possible second which in my mind was a dumb move but it all worked out, I waited till it got worse. I hope this will not take till into the New Year, hopefully in 6 to 8 weeks I will be able to continue on with the exercises throughout the holiday but depends the extent of the damage on my knee, I mean how bad it is with the crunching of my knee cap. But least I am doing it now before anymore damage is done to a point surgery is required which is good.

The Podcasts Are a Big Success!

              2 Years later with the Audio ONLY, podcasts are truly coming together very nicely. I have had so much fun recording episodes for you guys and I really, really would like to do video stream but it seems to be an issue to go live with video. Honestly I can say I enjoy pre-recording em as it is easier for me and plus I got more time on my hands but I can and I know it's possible that I can do recaps on Ice Cast which is like shoutcast, yes radio airwaves. I have been talking to Larry about it too and it's not really confirmed if it will happen but what I am trying to say if you guys want it to happen then let's make it happen, lets make it an official thing! I can honestly it has been fun but also a struggle to stay on schedule but in the last couple of weeks I have been on schedule even if I was an hour to an hour and a half late still came out on the same day.


              Even with The CBOTW Show which has just begun it's journey and over the next couple of days will be an interesting journey. I have learned how to adjust to change and I have learned so much about Audio ONLY, microphones, mixers and what not. Also the quality of the podcast has gotten so much better over time as when I first started it was distorted and crappy audio but now it is so much better and gotten better. I use to have the Audio Technica PRO 31 when I started this journey but now its changed, but mind you I still got that microphone and it still works and used within this studio but as a second mic and... Wait here is my setup:


Monitors: ACER

PC: ACER Computer Aspire- TC 605
       Windows 10

# of Boom Arms: 1 boom arm, planning to have a second boom down the road.

Microphones:  Main Mic: AT2020 (Audio Technica 2020), Second Mic: Audio Technica PRO 31

Mixer: Samson MDR624

Headphones: Sennheiser HD204

                That is the setup it isn't much but it gives you an idea and I made the decision to spend the money on more professional equipment like the condenser Microphone and the mixer and mind you you need a mixer for mics anyways as it makes the sound much better then just plugging it into your computer, trust me I've tried it. I will do a throwback Thursday story this week talking about my first mixer, don't worry.

Minecraft Space Mod World Is A Fail!

             I can officially say after rage quit, after rage quit, I have stopped with Minecraft for now as I felt like I struggled with the mod and just do not know where the heck to go to with it next and some of the items I need I am not sure where to go next with it. I know a majority of the items what I need but certain ones I got not a damn clue. I had a Twitch friend who was helping me and helped me beat the Ender Dragon, the Wither in Vanilla Minecraft but if I was to return and do the modded world how in the world do I get certain items? Maybe I need to Wikipedia it and fine out. I sure as heck need a game plan if I ever plan on trying to beat the Modded world and finish another different type of Minecraft. I should try Hexxit Minecraft but I would like to still go into space with the space mod. I do not even remember what mod I used actually, I have no clue where the heck I got it in the first place. I think it was the space age mod if I remember correctly but we will see. 


             I am always thinking ahead of myself if I want to play the game again but like a modded playthrough but I am really not sure at this point if I want to play again as I got other video games I could be doing at this point. So is this a complete fail? Yes I failed time and time again to a point I ended up rage quitting after I built such a really nice and fancy compound with a enclosed roof and all. I worked so hard on not just one compound but 3 compounds to have to delete the file as I died in the caves below because of my stupidity and I died more then once and I just completely fell apart and decided to just rage quit all together and it isn't like me at all to just rage quit and give up. I am very much very positive person now in my life compare to before when I was still a YouTuber back in the day. I shouldn't give up but never know, maybe in the nearby future I will look at Minecraft down the road, maybe now I can focus on other games in the meantime and like I said, I can come back to Minecraft later on.

Favorite TV Shows To Watch That Isn't Reality TV

             So on this double blog post for today which rare with my blog but I decided what the heck why not do another one for you guys. Today we are going to talk about my favorite TV Shows that I watch and it can be past shows and shows I watch show now which is sort of limited now to these days but do watch em and I have a bunch new and old so here is my list of my favorite TV Shows:


CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY- All my favorites from the original to the one in Miami, to the one in NY, I watched a good majority of the seasons from start to finish and i enjoyed it, minus the miniatures part in the original CSI but glad they eventually wrapped up that little series. Also love the storyline for CSI NY at certain parts of the series. 

McGyver- My mom introduced me to this series and I didn't start watching till mid season when Thorton was fired and arrested  and the entrance of Maddy but I do enjoy the show each and every week and it can be funny from time to time as well.

Hawaii 5-O- Another Reboot show on the list and once again my mom got me into the show and I actually really enjoy it each and every week. I find the bickering between McGarrett and Dano to be hilarious. Currently watching this season along with McGyver.

Magnum P.I- Another show my mom got me into and I wasn't sure how I was going to take it but I actually liked it and planning on continuing on the nearby future to continue to watch the series on TV. 

Family Feud-  One of my 2 favorite TV Shows to watch that I actually watch every single day. Steve Harvey is one of the best hosts of the show ever. He is so funny, especially when he's screaming like a little girl... LOL. Or also the comments Steve makes to the answers from time to time, ha-ha.


               There is a small fraction of my list as this post would take forever to write and it would take you guys a long time to read my post so I am listed some of the shows I do watch but in retrospective I watch a ton of other shows, like LivePD for example or Hells Kitchens, Reality TV Shows, etc but this post is definitely a regular TV shows that I do watch outside of Reality TV all together.

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.
