I have one other event that is on stand by and that event is the Italian Festival and my dad mentioned there is more then one Italian Festival but have to figure when the second one is but I will eventually I am sure.

Changes In Everything About Reality TV Podcast's Schedule

                 I honestly made a mishap in the podcast schedule for my podcast "Everything About Reality TV." Why what mishap did I make? Well I meant to put a certain day where I have 3 podcasts 3 days in a row. I think I had it on Wednesday's, Thursday's & Friday's but I have made some differences to it as I want it to be at least 3 or 4 days to cover. Here is what the new timetable will look like:


Tuesday's (Starting March 12th, 2019): Big Brother Canada 7 RECAP (Covering Friday through Monday in the house, including the Monday episode) @ 8 pm EST.

Thursday's (Active): Survivor: Edge of Extinction RECAP @ 8 pm EST

Friday's (Starting March 8th, 2019): Big Brother Canada 7 RECAP (Covering Tuesday through Thursday, including the Wednesday & Thursday's Episodes)


                   There is the schedule, it doesn't seem much but it's more the prep of listening into the live feeds and what is going on the Big Brother Feeds. This year is a little different as I have added on the second Big Brother Podcast as you guys liked the multiple podcast so that is why I added it to this season's schedule and honestly I think you guys really liked the schedule we had last season and it seems to work. I am honestly working on a different Reality TV Show down the road but that is for later to announce if they renew the show for another season. Right now I am focus on the 10th season right now and that is what is the most important thing at this moment. Two big things have happened or to happen very soon. 1) The 10th season which is already well underway now.  The second thing is the 200th episode which is rarely talked about as I am again not planning anything for it but I will mention it is the 200th, right now at this current time the podcast is at the 175th episode. I have been sitting on this information of a second podcast for the last 3 months as in December I started to plan it all out in my head and it wasn't clear till I wrote it on paper but yes I tweaked it a few times but finally got a schedule. One final thoughts on the final tweaked schedule is I am happy with the way it looks now, I am happy it is all done and the schedule here on the website is fully updated.

The Last Few Months On YouTube Were Tough!

               I probably hid this for the last couple of years since my departure of YouTube but I am ready to spill some tea on the truth of the final 6 months on the YouTube platform. In January is when one of my members of staff and yes I am keeping their name out of this as it is now in the past and they were forgiven. That was just the start of problems as I brought on someone new who I have had known for years well I ended up letting them go. I also brought on a former staff member back which completely backfired which they promised me to help me. I think you guys knew that part already. Not just my staff was the only issue but with no camera person, The Entertainment Man Talk Show was in complete limbo and I made the decision after a lengthy hiatus after Season 6, to actually cancel the show all together which put the channel into limbo as well. Mind you I had Season 7 planned out but that was scrapped once the cancellation was official. Also Everything About Reality TV was already active as a podcast on YouTube and doing quite fine in the way of views but not as good as it's doing right now on Audio ONLY in this current day. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to do the podcast on my own but still did well. As I headed into June the ideas, the ideas weren't there. I vlogged a bit between the podcast but it wasn't working out well for me. 


               To be honest, the last couple of months of being on the platform on my own without much help, well Justin was still there helping as much as he can but he knew I was struggling and honestly the views for CBOTW were down. I knew the channel was starting to die down. That was another reason I started to doubt the channel had a future. Honestly the only thing I had was the podcast. What I could of done was separated the podcast on it's own channel and I am sure people would of followed me as I could of done side videos on the main channel as the podcast wasn't the right fit on the main channel honestly. But I know in the end, I made the right decision to go Audio ONLY with the way things are now with the YouTube platform, it was probably for the best to walk away from the platform. I listened to my gut on this and if people do not like my decisions then that's fine. In the end I need to do what is best for me in the long run. It wasn't an easy last 6 months but I managed to get through it into the transition period in the summer of 2016.

Made Some Decisions With Events..

            I just completed the events list for this year and I had to take out 2 events for this year as I felt like it wasn't a fit for this year. Trust me the decision isn't  easy to make whatsoever but it had to be done and I know some people will not be happy but I am doing what is best for me and Chris B On The Web at this point. Here are the 2 events, I pulled out of for this year:

• Peony Festival (Locally Here In My Hometown)- Since it lands on Father's Day this year, it will not be a fit into the schedule as I wanna spend time with my dad and is more important, however we could slip it in but I really rather spend time with my dad, as it is more important. Honestly my dad is getting older and I wanna spend as much time with him as possible and there is plenty of other events out there throughout this year to go to.

• Autism Celebration (Also Locally Here)- Last year I felt like there wasn't a great turnout and I just had a really hard time deciding but I have decided to move on from this event. Don't get me wrong, I loved going to the event each and every year but I wasn't too pleased with the turnout. Now if Kerry's Place emails me about it then I could possibly go but right now there is no plans to go to the event this year but like I said if there is high request for me to return, I can put it on the schedule but I need to hear it from you guys first. 

            That is the two events I am not going to as I said this was really hard decision to make in the way of events that will not work for me this year. I do not like making decisions like this but again I need to do what is best for me and CBOTW.  I am being honest how I really feel on this. Sometimes it is best to just move on and I think that is what I need to do. What is the plan for the future? I am already ahead of my schedule by printing off 25 copies and putting it into a package to hand out publicly eye, especially people start chatting with me as well, this is a great way to get it out there is by the word of mouth. I wanna have 2 different ways of promoting CBOTW and the two ways is by going 1) to events locally and in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area and 2) by promoting it out in the public eye. I am taking a different direction this year and hopefully this will indeed help me in the long run of getting known but I think I have gotten well known this year. You never know, people could recognize me in the public and end up chatting with you guys. If you see me publicly here in Ontario, do not be afraid to say hi. As for the events, I am happy with the decision  I think the lineup I have which you will find out on Tuesday's blog post to what is the final decision on the events.

Trying A Star Wars Mod For Minecraft!

            While spending time with my niece and nephew we discovered  mod for Minecraft called Tatooine. Now what is Tatooine? It is  a planet where Luke Skywalker and also Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars movies. Now mind you I just started this world and there is so much more to discover but it is cool as I found green and blue crystals to make  a light saber. I haven't gotten this far and I need to start building a home for myself, get a sustainable food source in the game in order to go under the ground and get the items I need to make a lightsaber and a proper pick axe.  Pretty much I am back to the basics right now. I really wouldn't know what the different kinds of ores and stuff I would find underground but I suspect it is indeed the same, maybe some different ores too but I will find out when I decide to start digging down. I do not plan on making a overly big mansion as I do not know how long I am going to play this game as I am planning a different kind of world down the road as well.


          The difference in this world there are sheep that are a very odd color but still have the usual bah from them and there is normal sheep for building a bed too which is cool. There is this creature I fought and it wasn't as easy as I thought as I died but came back and killed it. The zombies were neat as they sound like the Tuskin Raiders from the movie itself. I haven't ran into or seen creepers or skelton's yet so I cannot tell you what they look like. Also there are just random people like villager like people just walking around the entire world which is cool. Yes I mentioned green and blue crystals which can be found basically on the ground anywhere in the world and like I said it is used for lightsabers.  Either way or, I am excited to play this mini mod to get into playing modded minecraft a  bit but this is only temporary as I am getting ready to do a  modded world with a space age mod which will indeed take some time to get prepared for space but least I got a world to play for now but I do not think it will be a long playthrough of this mod as I am not sure what I can outside of what I know but I know in time I will figure it out but the long game, I am planning on the space mod but this is just the start for me.

What Shows Am I Binge Watching Right Now?

            You probably didn't know this much but right now I am binge watching Malcolm in the Middle. Right now I am currently in the 5th season out of 7 seasons. I will be going between that and Power Rangers In Space which needs to be done as well. I wanna start Malcolm In The Middle, I haven't watched this show since it went off the air in 2006 which is like almost 12 years ago since the show went off the air. I love this show as it is just a dysfunctional family during each and every episode. I have had my comments at Lois while watching the show. I remember this show during my high school years, I watched it on top of the Simpsons and King of The Hill as well.  I find it hard to not laugh at moment's during the show.  Since starting to watch the show I have remembered a bunch of the episodes but again remember it has been a very long time since I have watched the show but it is nice to get back into this show again and it gives me something to do on my spare time between all this work I have put into CBOTW.


             Also between Malcolm The Middle, I am going to start watching Power Rangers In Space as the collaboration podcast will have to come back so I am going to be preparing before Big Brother Canada  Even during Big Brother Canada when the feeds are down I will most definitely watch episodes in order to get it done. So I will be able to get it done between the feeds being down. So I will be going between the two shows and if I finish Malcolm In The Middle which I am now half way through the season now, I have Power Rangers In Space to work on. After Power Rangers In Space, I do plan on starting Lost Galaxy and preparing for the next phase of things. One way or another there is always something to watch one way or another and I am always continue to be very busy person no matter what is thrown in front of me and that is fine with me.

The Day I Took On The Ender Dragon (Throwback Thursday Story)

            2 years ago after a very long time coming in trying to beat the ender dragon and I did the unthinkable and actually beat it. How did I manage to beat it? I will tell the story how this all went down. So this was after I walked away from Twitch, I finished up the spawner which was already underway when my regulars want to start trouble but I managed to finish up the spawner which I needed the levels in order to get good armor but a good friend @stephan889 on Twitter told me I didn't need too overly strong armor but I still had diamond armor that had high level armor which now can be found in the storage facility in the world which is behind glass now. However I needed to find the portal which was a tough task at hand and yes I used the ender pearls or eyes of the ender. However I decided to go out digging and I came across a cave out of nowhere. I look up to find a library, a random library. So i dug up a stairwell to go up, I took all the books obviously. So I started to look around to finally found the portal. So obviously I traveled back to the house, the manor which is still in existence just had some renovations done to the house. So I went back to start killing the Endermen in the game to get pearls from them in order to get eye of the ender. Also I realized I needed to go to the Nether to get the blaze rods that makes blaze powder so all the baby steps to get to the end. I got the eye of the ender to put in the portal. I believe 14 of them to be exact. I place it in and I went into the game to see what was was I was of the end of the ground as I fell out of the world, so I went back and built a stairwell to go up. 


           When I had the right gear, weapons, tools to beating the ender dragon, I went into the end and I was on my way. I had to hit the towers first obviously. Once I did that I was able to attack the Ender Dragon which took a very long time ducking away from the endermen that were creeping around. I got down to the final seconds and I took a shot at the dragon but it came at me and I either shot an arrow or struck it down with the sword. I can remember hearing the crackling sound from it and the amount of XP I was getting from the destruction of the Ender Dragon. Yes I defeated it first try and I was quite excited and you can imagine the Let's Go's that came out of my mouth. After I made a  monument in the storage facility as I said before with a stand for the gear I wore in the way of armor and almost made a frame for the sword and Bow. Also thanks to Dark, he helped me create that stand and the flag colors of CBOTW. I sometimes go back into the old world and reminisce on the memories I have created but I am now more committed to other games right nowbut I am proud I not only beat the Ender Dragon but Dark and I beat the Wither so we beat everything in Vanilla Minecraft and maybe one day I'll do a modded Minecraft.
