Me Cussing At My Crew At The 50th Episode, Was It Real? (Throwback Thursday Story)

                I know I mentioned a while ago I would do a throwback Thursday story for you guys and I am sure I never really talked about this in the past but the day I recorded The Entertainment Man Talk Show's 50th Episode on June 23rd, 2009 and it wasn't the easiest day of any of the taping's of an episode to be honest. This also includes the rehearsal of the event. I know I tried to pick a fight with an ex crew member of mine but he did drop the camera which is honestly expensive equipment to be honest, especially a digital camera so I went into insulting him and it wasn't fake like most of you would say, it was true stress going on as I wanted this event to run smoothly with 0 hiccups which there was some issues here and there but I will get into that shortly. There was a lot of things wrong with the event but other then that the rehearsal for the 50th episode and the season finale went fine.


                Now the season finale which happened to have a lot of drama and it was real drama which not only was stressful for me but stressful for the team. We forgot to get ice as we needed the extra ice to keep the drinks cold for the reception after so I was the one elected to walk all the way down the hill and back up the bloody hill which took at least 20 - 30 minutes including picking up ice and nobody went with me to help me carry it back which pissed me right off.  Also I went off at my staff and that scene which I now regret posting up on YouTube is now out there and exposed to the world what went on and easy to find and I will not mention the title of that video as eventually that old channel will be con put gone from the internet.  Again another blog post for another day.


                One other problem I had was with one of my team members taking over the event but I understand why they did as I needed to focus on the producing/directing and host so I cannot do everything but another event which is for another day on a different post but I mean I honestly had everything under control during the 50th and I was listening to everyone's ideas. I think in the end we were all stressed as we were pressed for time as guests couldn't be there till 3 so it was tough to keep it on schedule and get the taping done but there was one that stayed longer whom is a long time friend of mine for almost 20 years now. Either way the episode came out very well and appreciated the time and effort my team put into it despite the stress I was going through but they know I wanted everything to succeed.

Everything About Reality TV Update

                 I know I haven't had much in the updates in the way of podcasts, just the scheduling side of things but I am going to make an update today. First the numbers are crazy as ever and getting quite a good number recently. I don't like to talk numbers but the podcast is doing well in the viewership so it has made a difference. Getting some new listeners over on the platforms, such as ITunes, Castbox especially but I am sure all platforms are getting listens. For crying out loud even Stitcher feed is starting to get some views as it was struggling but that was my fault walking out on Stitcher first of all due to some technical issues. Anyways before Tune-In took their following or favorite count out I think I had about 4 or 5 people and I can imagine the number on there as you all know I joined TuneIn.com back in 2016 as part of the expanding the podcast on different platforms. Now let's talk impressions and people who see my posts on Twitter and Instagram it has gotten a lot more views which is surprising. 


                But enough of that, all I know and proud of is the fact "Everything About Reality TV" Podcast is now on 12 different platforms which is crazy! I really never told you guys this but it is crazy now going into the 2nd full year on Audio ONLY, it took a very long time to get ourselves on all of these platforms but patience is a virtue and in the end it is well deserving of being on this point and from here on out it is about growth. I can officially can say, that NooB status is officially gone at this point and I am joining the ranks of other great podcasters out there. I admit, I know how stressful it can be and I am on a steadier schedule and more on time now as I prepare very early in the day, record, edit then ready to post up later. Either way, I have to say, I am proud of myself and the Podcast and this is why I stopped The CBOTW Show Podcast is to focus on this podcast and like I said Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast is not dead, it's just on a lengthy Hiatus right now but another post for another day.

Favorite Moments With C3-PO In The Star Wars Trilogy...

              I noticed something in Star Wars Movies, quite often C3-PO the lovable protocol droid in the movies gets blown to pieces and I will talk about it. Don't get me wrong every time this happens, I just shake my head and laugh as I got use to C3-PO's craziness. I will even highlight some of the moment's in the movie I enjoyed:

1.  C3-PO meeting R2-D2 for the first time and R2 said he's naked, his part's are showing and R2's beeping sounds in a laugh.

2. Threepio head and bottom detached and his head re attached to a battle droid which we all know are not the strongest in the movies technically. Battle droid head was put on his body so you can imagine what it looks like if you have not seen the movies, but I am sure majority of you guys have. 

3. He was shooting at his own Allies as it re-programmed him to be evil and especially what he said and then saying what did I say? Ha ha, that never gets old. He has to realize the lower half of his body is a droid and his head, well it's himself. 

4. His body got hit in the line of fire and his head detached and R2-D2 used his magnet and dragged his head across the ground and of course his weird sense humor saying "This is such a drag." Technically it is as his head is being dragged across the dirt of the complex he was in during that battle. 

5. Finally, I don't think there was much that happened in A New Hope however in Empire Strikes Back, he goes into a room in Cloud City and gets blasted into pieces. Chewie repairs him but puts his head on backwards, ha-ha & his legs were repaired by R2-D2 minus the bottom half of the one leg as R2-D2 fixed the Hyper Drive and poor Threepio goes flying... lol

                 Seems like every movie or at least every second movie he gets himself into trouble but don't forget him and R2-D2 are a dynamic duo and the comedic relief in the movies. I do not think there was a moment in Ep 7 & 8 that was funny with those two. They were in several scenes that is it but maybe Ep # 9 will have em in it more, never know but I am now excited for Episode # 9 at the end of this year and it will be a great movie as I have heard rumors like I have spoken about before on this blog.

I Am Proud I Lasted 7.5 Years On YouTube...

               Now that I am not far off of being 3 years since leaving YouTube for good, I decided to bring this up.  Am I proud of lasting 7.5 years on YouTube? Well yes! I am surprised I lasted as long as I did on the platform. I know I was grinding at Videos for 7.5 years and started to get some viewers up to the point of my original channel being detached and still is up there by going to YouTube and finding TheDirector015 which I could just link on my website here technically but all my old videos are there for now until YouTube decides to start taking my videos down for the excessive swearing in the channel... lmao!  Anyways I am still proud how long I lasted on the platform and it was fun, but tiring at the same point, planning out a brand new season on top of vlogging my daily life as well which mind you lasted just beyond 700 days of vlogging which are no longer on the old channel as my second channel is now gone. I mean I worked everyday of the week without breaks, late nights in the studio or office planning, planning and more planning. Now it is not as much planning as you know I am a podcaster which is easier as I take notes watching Reality TV and it is easy to do. 


                 I know when The Entertainment Man Talk Show came out that is when the channel started to hit strides in viewers with 38 to 40 or 50 views an episode which was good, especially the 32nd episode of the series in Season 2 when Eric and I were cursing on and off towards the middle to the end of the episode which mind you now it wouldn't be family friendly content at this point... lol, more then likely it would of been demonetized or removed from the platform at this point. However I am hiding a side project I am regarding that channel which is I am downloading the videos and planning to try and talk to YouTube about it as the account is un-accessible right now and I wanna try and get that channel down at some point. In the end, I am very proud of myself to last as long and it was really a disappointment to see my crew quit one after another and to a point of me making that crucial decision to quit but I am glad to be a part of the platform for those many years I was active as a YouTuber.

Figured Out The Keys For The Video Game, The Messenger

               I have finally started figuring out how to maneuver and move on The Messenger but it is still very awkward with the game so it doesn't make it easy. I am trying my hardest and I am starting to figure out how to beat the guys who breaths out fire so that is one concern but I am getting better at it as I am able to either duck or jump but coming up on a wall to a breathing dragon that has been my greatest issue right now and I promise I will try and play it on my next Twitch stream and try and get past that level as you guys have been so helpful with me giving me tips but not sure how many tips you can give me. I admit this isn't an easy game and it is quite challenging, however I am able to beat the levels easily and pretty much I find this game a learning curve still, just like The Binding of Isaac which is a complete different story and blog post for another day. I will definitely do a progress update with it down the road once I start getting more achievements down the road as of right now I am on struggle street right now with the game. Anyways. One thing I do find with this game is it has that Spelunky and The Binding of Isaac kind of look but more Spelunky then Isaac technically. There is definitely a small resemblance in the game to Spelunkus as Dan would call it. 


                  The Messenger is a fun game but from time to time, it can be really frustrating from time to time but I am definitely enjoying the game right now and it will take me some time to get use to the game and I know I will get use to it. It is completely different from other games as all games have different keys to move your character or person but these ones seem very easy to remember, the jump and attack buttons. I have honestly gotten use to the keys but you should of seen me at the start of it all, I was very, very awkward with the keys but one good trait about me is that I am a very fast learner with the keys or anything in general which does help me out in my regular everyday life no matter what it is, fun, working on Chris B On The Web or just general everyday activities I know I can figure things out quite quickly.

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Is Back Up and Running!

                   Finally after 5 months of waiting for the domain to be open to putting it on this domain, it is officially back up and running now and I am so happy as you all know it was quite stressful to deal with over the last 5 months hence the reason I have grey hair now... LOL. I am excited as it opens the doors to more opportunities for me and plus it sure does make it look like professional website.  I actually like the way the website looks like now compare to when it was with that other provider which I will not name. From here on out the links will be different then it was before just a fair warning, some posts on Twitter will not work for you guys so all you have to do is go to chrisbontheweb.com and look at the posts and if you click on a specific post, it should work perfect.


                     You are going to ask what about the branding of the podcast, specifically Everything About Reality TV for example? Well, you guys will be hearing the branding I had last year, it will be back to that intro as I do not have to go and re-record the intro now, it is all good and ready to go. Now the collaboration podcasts I do like with Larry for example I need to re-record that and the collab intros have to be re-worked in which I will not need Larry in order to re do it as the intro can be worked in without me having to re introduce him. I am pretty good at the audio editing these days! It will definitely work out in the end but haven't gotten to that yet and I am glad I waited till the website returned to the .com first before having to re do it again so it sure does make the job a lot easier, that is for sure!


                    Finally I told you guys I would be getting the .com website back up and running, it just took a bit of time with the domain to expire and I am now on the permanent website from here on out which is great. I am looking forward to what the future brings with this website and I am imagine it will continue on with greater growth down the road too. I appreciate your patience throughout the rough roads we have gone through but were back and that is the main thing as that is one less stressful thing off my list. Please give me a couple of days to update graphics all around the social media as I need to update it all.

The CBOTW Show is No More??

               To clarify the posts I made in the last 48 hours plus now, it is very much true, The CBOTW Show is no more. I have decided to pull it from Chris B On The Web, due to the lack of content and the views well were up and down, not as steady as Everything About Reality TV Podcast has and mind you that EAR TV has been around longer and I have been promoting the heck out of it so it makes a difference. I think the ideas were there, however as you remember The CBOTW Show was on a sporadic schedule and really that didn't help whatsoever. I think it would of helped to be on a regular schedule so it sure makes more sense. Now as you know both Power Rangers Podcasts and Music City CMT Recaps took a big part of The CBOTW Show. Well Power Rangers Podcasts I will touch on at a later date as their is work to be done. Music City CMT is now merged with Everything About Reality TV Podcast. What is the lineup for the podcast since the merger of Music City? It looks like this:


  • Survivor
  • Big Brother US
  • Celebrity Big Brother US
  • Big Brother Canada
  • Music City CMT
  • Amazing Race 
  • Amazing Race Canada

             There is the list and the list is just getting bigger but it is nothing I cannot handle. This is indeed a great lineup and I think Everything About Reality TV is going anywhere anytime soon. Just to make things clear currently the podcast is covering Celebrity Big Brother & Music City on CMT. This podcast is here to stay and like I have said as long as their is Reality TV Shows, I will be continuing this podcast and I am sure it will be around for many years to come I'm sure.

I Know I Went Silent On Here....

              I know it has been 2 days since a post up and lately I have been bad with posting up blog posts but I do have an explanation and by tomorrow's post, you guys will know the truth behind it. If you follow me on social media, you kind of know the truth what has transpired in the last 24 - 48 hours. All I can say I was busy with maintenance with the Everything About Reality TV Podcast feed and that is all I can really say. However I can say with me going radio silent on here it was in all good intentions as I am thinking big picture with my podcasts and Larry and my Alumni know the plan as him and I had quite the discussion last night about things and including the Power Rangers Podcast which right now is on a bit of a "Hiatus" from recording and it is going nowhere even with the current news I have made on social media and like I said tomorrow, I will be exposing the entire truth and what the future is going to look like. 


                I wish I had the time last night to do regular posts but I am sure with the craziness of my posts on social, mainly Twitter as I went AWAL on Instagram for several days so I am busy as heck. Today I got to catch up with you guys what is going on and I admit today I was feeling depressed a bit but it seemed to be lifted an hour after I got home from being out. It's nothing just me dealing with personal things, friendships right now up and down and it started to bother me a bit more today. However I am going to be fine.  There has been a lot happening behind the scenes and hence the reason I posted up the first Celebrity Big Brother Season 2 up this afternoon compare to it supposedly being up at 8 pm EST last night.  However I am in a transition period right now with the podcast and making the necessary changes with Chris B On The Web. There is always room for improvement and I have started to make those changes now. 


              The one thing I can say officially is I am close to getting the domain back up and running, it is in deletion mode which means it is getting very close to it being available for me to purchase. No it will not be with HostGator or 000webhost which I rather not mention. It will be with blogger obviously and I will let you know when the change has been made and what links you will have to go to from here on out but I am sure it will redirect you to the main page once the domain is set and it will be a .com website, I know it will be the same domain as I had before.  I am sorry I haven't been active lately but I am back to a normal schedule now and promise to post more often.

Games I Would Like To Play This Year!

            To be quite honest, I have been delaying and delaying this post as I had other ideas I wanted to get out there first and finally posting this up and I wish I posted this up the second day of January but I didn't. Anyways into this post I am going to talk about games I would like to play this year. I got one of the games, Farming Simulator 19 and every time I bought a piece of equipment, my guy lost so much money and I looked it up and really found nothing honestly or answers to the fix. The game was nothing like Farming Simulator 17 and I was not impressed whatsoever. Here is a list of the games I want to play or have started:

1.   The Messenger, I watched Dan Gheesling from Big Brother 10 which he won that season & Big Brother 14 which he was the runner up for the season. I first did not really understand it but I gave it another shot and instantly loved the game and currently playing it on my spare time when I have spare time.

2.  Call of Duty 2, I have played Call of Duty ages ago and played it over many, many times and recently completed playing it through once and I want to play the second game and yes there is another Call of Duty on my List as well. I do want to continue on with these especially now that I have mastered the first one. The second game I did start to play, however got so stuck I just gave up on it... Yeah... I raged quit... smh....

3.  Call of Duty Black Ops III, Heard so much about this game and it does have a campaign which I rather play a campaign then multiplayer but from time to time you guys see me in the online world but I am more about that campaign life honestly.

4. The 4th game on my list is Life is Strange the first one as you all know I have played Before The Storm live on Twitch which mind you the channel is now down and been planning on returning to the site to do gaming streams from time to time. 

5. Life is Strange 2, why not finish off the franchise and get caught up on this franchise and i have heard a lot about the game too.

6. Punch Club, a game that I got a few years ago, the game glitched and I would like to finish it actually as it glitched on me apparently. 

                  There is my list and its an amazing list and every year I plan on updating the list as there will always be new games to play and I plan on playing these games this year and hopefully I will get threw this list this year but right now my primary focus is on The Messenger. It is going good and by the end of The Messenger, I will definitely do a video game review for you guys and what I thought of it. Which game is next? Probably will be getting Life is Strange that is on the list both 1 and 2 I would like to get and play first before the other 2 and I actually would play it in between podcasts but there is tons of games but these are definitely on my list and I should really finish the games I have first before purchasing it but I am pretty good at gaming as it is and finish games quite quickly.

Broke A Bunch of Records With My Fit Bit Last Week!

             A Week ago today when I was in Toronto as you know by now as I have spoken in the last couple of days things that has gone on in the last week now. I broke a ton of records. I finally hit my 9 times of 250 steps which I rarely get all of em on a daily basis. I also broken over 12000 steps which is from time to time I can get to that number but last week I walked and I walked! Which I normally don't do. Average is normally between 4000 and 6000, sometimes more depending on my day if I am in the studio or out and about or gone to an appointment that is when the steps are really active but I try each and everyday to actually get steps in each and every day regardless if I am out or not. I even got my 250 steps per hour which is 9 times in a day so technically 9 hours of the day and I have reached that strive many times in the last while. I also burned a ton of calories but still made no different I ended up gaining a pound or two so that didn't really help at all. However it was a good feeling to be very active, especially adventuring in Toronto with my dad as we were all over the place throughout the day and honestly it was different from any other trip that was have been on in Toronto. Being in T.O gives me great opportunity to exercise and be out and about which is really good.


               Regardless a week ago, I am proud of myself with the achievements and when I say achievements, I mean I unlocked a bunch of achievements and I noticed my phone going off when back on WIFI I was getting emails, I believe about 2 or 3 emails to be exact that I actually got so I got a few of them to notify me of my achievements and trust me it feels good, it is a good feeling to have, knowing I have accomplished a lot in one day on my last day off before going back to Chris B On The Web. Do I think I will ever beat 18k in steps down the road? I really doubt it as it is a tough number now to beat to this day as it is a very big number but anything is possible and I would once again have to do a good long non stop walking in order to break 18,000 steps at this point. I really do not think I will break that anytime soon like I said the number is way to big for me to surpass. No I am not being negative just feel like it will be a tough goal to do right now but I do have some trips to T.O coming up with Dave in March and in April so I am sure I will be breaking 10k easily again!
