Started to Decorate My Studio!

            Christmas season is pretty much upon us and i have already started to decorate the studio but it is not fully done as the snowflakes and other Christmas decorations are now up up but I will be working on those soon hopefully. But I have started using the lights in the studio and I rather wait till December to really start lighting up the studio for the season so in time but I have started to light things up here in my studio. I have to figure out how to put the curtain snowflakes up due to the fact I currently have my Green Bay Packers flag up behind me at the moment that may either have to come down or put the snow flakes behind or around it if worse does come to worse. This year I did 2 different levels of Christmas lights in the Chris B On The Web Studio one at the first shelf above the desk area so the new set of lights are up there. Now new lights? Yes the ones that are now at the bottom of the desk where my screens do sit on is where the old lights are setup and i got them both hooked up to a clicker beneath the desk where I am use my foot to activate the lights and I have tested it and works very well.


               I think I will wait till Larry is here in the studio on December 9th which yes it is my anniversary of when I started this 13 year journey as a media man but I do need his help with the finally touches and I think I still got my old tree that I can use here in the studio but not sure if the lights work. I thought i got rid of that tree but apparently not, it wasn't thrown away so I have it still unless my parents are referring to the gold tree of mine that could of been it but never know what she means but I will most definitely have to ask as I sworn I actually thrown it away but it's whatever I guess, I must of stored it away since stopped using it recently so I am guessing it is still in the house. Anyways I am derailing myself from the topic at hand and that is when Larry is here next time, he will be helping me finish up the studio for the Christmas and winter season as I always keep the snowflakes up during the winter all the way into late March/early April at the most. So I have started to decorate the studio and slowly getting to it and in the new year I will have to take it down as I am fixing up my desk but I get to enjoy the lights right into the new year at least.

McCafe Express Service Review....

          Making this my last post about my trip to Toronto with Dave as you guys are probably getting sick of me talking about the trip honestly and I promise you this is the final post and hope you do enjoy today's blog post as its not a food review this time, its more of a service review at a restaurant.  What restaurant well McCafe which is part of the McDonald's restaurant chain.  Now the lineup itself was long enough and we had to catch the 213 pm train as the train only ran every hour that weekend due to track work in Durham so we were quite in time to getting food and he wanted to grab something small and so did I as well. At first we had the option of going through the express option with the express order I guess you would call it I guess or the line and risk us missing the train . We did line up to order but then we made that decision it would be too long so we ordered at the touch screen and mind you it went much faster then we expected and able to finish up eating in time for the Go Train. 


            Now what did I have? I had a grilled cheese on Multi Grain brain which was really super good, so soft, tender with the very gooey cheese it was very delicious and to me that is my kind of comfort food. I am not one for usually to eat Multi Grain bread but I am glad I tried it because it was indeed really good. I love how the cheese was just gooing out of the bread which means it was was cooked enough to melt the cheese in the sandwich and it wasn't done like you would do it at home. It was done in a sandwich press as I can tell by the grill marks so it is so obvious that is how it was done but it doesn't matter how it was done it was really good and delicious too. The price was reasonable and wasn't overly expensive and no fast food place is really too pricey to be honest.  Would I do this again? Of course the service, especially  the speedy service as I said before we were in a mad rush as we had a Go Train to catch at 213 in the afternoon and it was an easy solution for us to grab some food before we head out back home, mind you it was the only real choice that we had or it was either that and go back out the door, miss this train, wait one more extra hour for a bus which would actually suck as I was crabby by that time of the day. We made the right choice and no regrets whatsoever, service gets a 10/10 in my books!

Tim Horton's Waffle Breakfast Sandwich Review

             Last Saturday as you know, I was in Toronto for the day and both Dave and I met at the mall and we decided to get some breakfast at Tim Horton's which mind you it is a great sandwiches and breakfast's that they have but I went something out of the ordinary and had the waffle sandwich which consists of sausage, egg between two waffles. I know it doesn't sound so appetizing to you guys and I know I felt anxious and nervous for trying this sandwich at first but I decided to say the heck with it and I am going to give it a shot and I was afraid to take the first but I didn't want to have it go cold on me if that makes any sense to you guys whatsoever so I took a bite into it and I can taste the sausage, the egg and of course the waffle.  However the part that did bother me was the fact it had Maple Syrup and I know that is part of the waffle when you have em alone especially but the way I felt about it I... Something didn't seem very right for me. I felt like the maple on the waffles did not mix with the eggs portion and I had a very odd look on my face at start and honestly even though I didn't like it I pushed myself to finish it up as I needed to have something to eat to give me energy for the long and painful travel as you know what both Dave and I went through.


               Now would I eat it again? Most definitely not as it wasn't my favorite item on the list at Timmies but I want to be honest and I do not think in the very near future I will be not trying it as I just did not like the taste of it especially with the Maple and yes I am a big Maple Syrup fan too but not so much with waffles, egg and sausage. Least I tried it out and see if I actually did enjoy it or not and that is what matters to me is I actually took a risk and tried something new. I can admit it was a moist sandwich and cooked to perfection and not burned or under cooked it was perfect it was just the flavoring that kind of got to me but like I said I tried it and I do not have to have it down the road again but I am glad to have tried it. I have been open to trying a lot of new things lately which is a good thing and it is always good to try brand new things. Speaking of which, tomorrow's blog post will be another food review with McCafe which will be out at 11 am EST like usual. Hope you guys enjoyed this post and let me know if you do enjoy these food reviews or restaurant reviews I do from time to time.

Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of The Grindewald Movie Review! (Some Spoilers!)

            Yesterday I got to see Fantastic Beasts Crimes of The Grindewald with my good friend Larry which got my head thinking there was a bunch of references to the Harry Potter Movies that came out before and I know JK Rowling was involved with the movie and found out it was a book originally which now I will have to go through reading the books now that I have seen the movie with Larry so it makes complete and utter sense to me how the storyline goes and I just found about it weeks before thanks to Larry not TELLING me about it sooner. So back to the Harry Potter References that were made in the movie, the first one was Albus Dumbledore who we know by now was the Head Master of Hogworts School and Magical and Wizardry. This brings me to my next Harry Potter reference is Hogwarts which is seen in several scenes through the middle to the end of the movie which is odd seeing the castle again but that really put a smile on my face as I can recognize the rivers from the movies that I have seen and of course the castle itself. Also the mention of Professor McGonagall was mentioned and we seen her briefly walking around in the hall there.  Finally I found out Dumbledore was a Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher.


             Overall the movie was good, really did enjoy it, however I was confused at points of the movie but then it suddenly clicked in as we got further in the movie how the story line went and I recognized some of the spells that were used back in the Harry Potter books and Movies as well. I like the fact they used the old castle aka Hogwarts from Harry Potter movies and also one other recognized name as well. It was well put together and soon as the movie ended I realized I think there will be another movie down the road and both Larry and I agreed there will be another movie but I just read up there will be exactly 5 videos coming out according to JK Rowling interview I read online and it is easy to Google and find on the internet as well. We both enjoyed the entire movie and I can only speak for myself not Larry but he is more then welcome to do a movie review himself of the movie on this blog post as I totally forgotten he has the privilege to post up on here as well. I hope you guys enjoyed this review and I tried to not spoil all of the movie but I made a few references in the movie but without spoiling the entire movie. If you have seen the movie what did you guys think of the movie yourself? Let me know in the comments below!

The CBOTW Show Programming Changes....

         This afternoon I made some major changes in the way things are done on Chris B On The Web. After studying my analytics for Last Man Standing, they were low and I just started to finally think clearly that maybe I need to make a change with this podcast now before my Podcast completely fails. What change you may be asking well, The CBOTW Show podcast is no longer covering Last Man Standing with Tim Allen Starring in the TV show as the numbers wasn't doing as well as Power Rangers Podcasts or Music City wasn't doing too well so I needed to make this change now before things get even worse for the podcast and it is my decision and my decision alone to make and don't forget this podcast is fairly new and still seeing what works and doesn't work on The CBOTW Show so I am still trying to get it to work properly and I am getting views on the platform even through Castbox and Stitcher just think you guys are not interested in those podcasts so it is easy for me to stop creating those now  then keep on going and have no viewers anymore. I got other ideas in my head that will work and I will explain some of it now. If Hell's Kitchen comes back for a 19th Season I will be taking on the Recaps for that show and i have done it before in the past and has been worked in the past for me it can work for me again. Originally those Recaps were under Everything About Reality TV but then I am planning on moving this one down the long road. 


              Also one other thing I would like to add to the list is that both Larry and I are planning to stop the Power Rangers Podcasts after Dino Thunder as he has not really gotten into the other episodes so I have spoken to him yesterday after the movie that we will be stopping after Dino Thunder and it is understandable it wasn't overly great but that doesn't mean I am going to stop anytime soon because I plan on watching it on my spare time to see what it is like and i plan on watching Samurai and the later seasons which are more recent to Jason David Frank, Catherine Sunderland, Steve Cardenas and a few different Mighty Morphin characters and previous seasons so either way I will be caught up with all seasons since Mighty Morphin. Those are the few changes and changes to happen over the next year and a half at the most. I think I am making the right choices and hope you all understand the position I was in to make this sudden change with The CBOTW Show.

Got To Meet Big Brother Canada 6 Houseguests!

           Yesterday, I got to go to Toronto and meet former houseguests from Big Brother Canada, Season 6. Now the train trip was a bit rocky at first we got to the Oshawa Go Station, we were told the train isn't running from here till 10:41 am which really ticked me the heck off. So we were shuttled to Whitby and we got there and we missed the train and I was pissed the heck off at the point I just wanted to go home but was worth all the stress getting there. The bus driver was going to drive us all the way to Union Station if he had to but ended up shuttling us to Pickering to catch the train which we did and we were finally on our way into Toronto. Even my friend Dave called Go Transit all pissed off too. I even threatened to email Go Transit but that never even happened. 


              We got there and had to walk 20 minutes to where we were meeting the houseguests. We got there we first met Andrew, Olivia, Erica, Maddy and Veronica which they were all nice and very interactive and we got to mingle with them and talk to them. We talked to Erica, Andrew a lot too. We even mentioned the Kars on King here to Andrew and he will definitely check it out if he has the time which is cool. I told him I worked at the event as a volunteer. Anyways we were there for about 2 hours and had a good time. We even got to talk to Trevor one of the Producers of the show so i got an selfie with him too! Pretty incredible experience for me as a super fan and a podcaster which that was brought up once during that. I even pulled out my CBOTW Tags ha-ha! So much for undercover work for this blog post today.  Yes I was under cover but hey may as was promote myself while I'm out and next year I will have fully updated links to everything especially now that collabs are now The CBOTW Show Podcast. 


              Anyways we had a good time, we were a little cranky in finding a place to eat and the place we originally going to go to we decided to not do it as it was a 20 minute walk from where we were, but after quite a search we found a place to go for lunch and we used the self order screen to order our food which was easier at McCafe at Union Station and if you are wondering what I had it was a Grilled Cheese Sandwich on Multi Grain which was delicious which I had two food reviews for you this week McCafe and Timmies Waffle Breakfast Sandwich which will be coming out at some point during the week when I got time to sit down and do the full review but overall such a fun and exciting day for the both of us!

Power Rangers Schedule for Part of 2019 & Hiatus

                  Well it is that time again to announce what my schedule for the Power Rangers Podcast is as this will be the final schedule till end of the year next year due to this hiatus which I will get to at the end of the this post. So as you all know both Larry and I are coming to the end of the Zordon Era in the Power Rangers first 6 seasons of the franchise so we are now coming to the end of the 6 seasons which is sad as I have and Larry as well has had so much fun behind the mic with these episodes particularly. So here is what things will look like for the schedule from here on out:


December 26th, 2018: The CBOTW Show, Power Rangers Zeo Talk

January 2nd, 2019: The CBOTW Show, Power Rangers Turbo Talk

April 23rd 2019: The CBOTW Show, Power Rangers In Space

April 30th, 2019: The CBOTW Show, Power Rangers Roundtable Podcast


                    Now before moving into the Hiatus schedule but first of all I will be slipping the Turbo season talk and In Space and Roundtable Podcast into the mix with Last Man Standing & Music City so it will be quite a timetable to handful to handle but I am sure I will be able to handle it. The plan is set for the future and I am truly am excited to what is to come. Now to the hiatus news that I have is both Larry and I will be taking a brief hiatus so I can have some time off but also prep for the next phase of things and trust me I will be working hard on the next 2 seasons and I want to take some time off as well as it has been draining on me for the last while as well prepping and working on it but Larry and myself deserve the time off and it will be quite a lengthy break from it, I am taking a 9 month hiatus from it and I do not know what is in stored for the fall in the way of Last Man Standing if they will renew for an 8th season or not but soon as I know there is new season of Last Man Standing since Fox took over but if Last Man Standing does end after 7 seasons then I got other projects I can fall on like Power Rangers Podcast stuff which will be around for quite sometime now. That is my news that I am wanting to announce and there is probably more then likely more announcements to come soon down the road.

Chris B On The Web Turns 4 Today!

            Today I never thought I would reach this far but today Chris B On The Web turns 4 years old and I cannot believe it's 4 now. Time has gone so fast, 4 years ago yesterday was officially the last day The Video Projects Team ever existed as a team. That is not what this post is about today today marks 4 years since being on my own with very, very minimal help, yes I am referring to my other 2 stooges, Justin & Larry.. lol... But I really appreciated their help, Larry with the camera work, Justin whom did a lot of the behind the scenes work of The Entertainment Man Talk Show with the set which I used a heck of a lot more space down here then I do to this actual day where I am using a very small space for my studio for both of my Podcasts. It is so amazing! Just to see the change and revolution of the studio space I got down here and see how things have progressed over the years.  I remember the set picture that was never used for Season 7 of The Entertainment Man Talk Show which we never saw a 7th season as it was short lived due to Staff walking out on me out of nowhere. 


             Bringing to the current day where I am into the Podcasting scene now and it is just so incredible how things have changed over the years and excited for the future as 2019 will be interesting indeed. I just got news too which I will tell you guys in time as well. It has been an adventure and a half and plenty of stuff coming in the near future, I have planned especially with a certain channel of mine on Twitch, hint, hint double hint I could stream some of the podcasts again. I will discuss my ideas soon on a future blog down the road maybe by the weekend or so but need to do some testing. Finally here is to many more years as today we celebrate CBOTW's 4 years on the world wide web  and I am looking forward to many more years running and operating Chris B On The Web. It isn't over and nobody is going to stop me from being successful as I have gained a lot of ground in the last 8 months or so with podcasts and additions to the site, changes are not done yet and I will be explaining in due time what other changes and trust me I am not going to wait till  New Year like I was going to. Once again Happy Birthday Chris B On The Web, here is to many more years together!

Have I Thought About Advertising or Sponsorships on Chris B On The Web's Website Or On My Podcasts?

              The answer to the title of this blog is yes! I have thought about it long and hard and have been offered advertising but the plans never went through. Was a communication was not there. However, that's not the point, the point is I am opened to advertising as I want to grow and advertise other products on the podcasts or my site and with chrisbontheweb.com returning very soon it is time to take part 2 of the plan into affect and I haven't been talking about this but it is very much in the future plans and your opportunity to promote comes at the end of today's blog post. You will see what I mean as you keep on reading today's post. After the first advertising deal did not go through, it made me think, you know I want to try and get advertising on either side of my content but we will wait and see and opportunities will come around again. I wasn't pleased with the lack of communication or reply's but would of been nice to know if they wanted to not do the advertising after all. Kind of felt I wasted my time but it is what it is. But I am ready to give advertising on my site of podcasts another shot. I think I waited long enough and come 2019 that is in the plans of the New Year along with the .com website returning I got tons of surprises up my sleeve right now. I also am working on this week the re-do of the introductions of the podcasts so I am ready to take on this new endeavor.


              How can you advertise on either on my website or the podcasts? Well in time you guys will tell but if you would like to get a head start you can email me chrisbontheweb@yahoo.com if you would like to send an email and would like to have advertising on either of the 3 (website, either or both podcasts) please feel free to contact me at anytime. I am still getting things together but will manage to get it done in a fashionable timely manner and I know how to do it in case but I may wait it out until officially I get the .com back online again by the end of the year. So I have time to work it out but if I start getting more and more requests for advertising then I will have to work fast but right now I am getting the word out to you guys I am open to advertising or sponsorships and if anyone is interested they can contact me directly through email. But the  answer to today's blog post is yes I have thought about and I have been reached out by a company but it did not go through and that's OK though, there will be other opportunities that will come to me!

Having Chris B On The Web Blues Again....

             Yes the question to today's post, I was feeling really down and the depression was setting in pretty quick when I had a heck of a lot of time on my hands when I didn't have to plan out YouTube videos. At the point of me ending everything for YouTube, it was a weight off my shoulder but in the long run I felt like The Entertainment Man Talk Show was a complete failure like Durham Entertainment Today ended because it ended the same way The Entertainment Man Talk Show did. It was like dejavu all over again and today I started to think about me leaving YouTube and the series ending out of nowhere and how my channel went downhill very quickly. I haven't been this low in about a year and a half now and not sure why I am having Chris B On The Web Blues again. I thought I would be over leaving YouTube but sometimes when I am on my own, not around friends whatsoever I think I let my mind wander off in my own studio which does not help the situation at all.  I have been struggling honestly to rebuild Chris B On The Web and the last 2 years hasn't been an easy re-build but things are slowly settling into place. As you know I have added on The CBOTW Show as a second podcast and I am right on track with all the podcasts at the moment so that shouldn't be dragging me down but the real test is about to come in the New Year when I will be jammed packed in podcasts for "Everything About Reality TV" will be interesting test on top of The CBOTW Show's Music City CMT & Last Man Standing, I will be one busy bee. 


                 Also I think the fact that I am dealing with some personal issues which I rather not disclose what is really going on but I am dealing with a lot right now and it is quite difficult. As right now I am an emotional mess as I went off on several people tonight and I am not happy about it but I think I did what I didn't normally do is talk things out or listen but recently I just been flying off the handle and people pushing my buttons doesn't help which will bring in tomorrow's blog post which I have been dreading to write tomorrow but will be done and I know I have touched on friendships but that is probably one of the reasons why my motivation with Chris B On The Web is lower then usual right now which I will touch on that a lot more tomorrow then tonight as right now as I am sitting here trying to word things properly and my mind is just wondering again and it is quite difficult for me to function but nothing like a good nights sleep to get rested up for another long day.  That is tonight's blog post and I apologize for it being so late but I had a busy day with appointments and running errands to get ready for Saturday's trip out of town for several hours and I will be hinting on Instagram where I am with my friend Dave.
