I've Quit Searching For Work....

                I have made the decision to stop looking for work due to a situation that I am going to keep private but I honestly want to explain what is going on. Honestly since Wednesday last week, I have been so active with CBOTW, the most active in a long time and obviously you guys knew something is or was up. Anyways for those who have been following from the start or in the past year or so, especially on Twitter/Instagram I am out every second Tuesday of the month to look for work. Recently something happened where I made the decision to stop looking for work as I have been at it for 5 years. Yes I had a job for 4 weeks but ended up deciding to quit as it wasn't right for me, but it was under a contract trial. However since then I haven't been able to find a job, it has been a tough one as nobody seems to hire someone with a disability. If I kept the job I had, I would of lost the job anyways as they closed down. Anyways not the point of this post. It has been a tough 4 years since that job, had interviews and had no job offers but had interviews but I just felt it was time to stop. My cousin mentioned to me last year when we were down or if it was through online messenger that maybe working is not for me. I really thought about it for the past while and the decision to stop looking for work was made not long ago, since last week I made that decision for myself....


               Now what am I going to do with my time? Well the plan is to volunteer my time with different groups. I am going to work the car show like I did last year at the end of the summer which I really enjoyed last year and I wanted to do it again at the start of September as well. Also someone who was there during the transition from YouTube to Podcasting till we had a mutual agreement for him to leave has been pestering me about returning to the theater and yes it has come to my mind that I wanted to do it again whether it is building sets or front of house I'd do either of them honestly. The final question you guys are going to ask is what about Chris B On The Web? I am not going anywhere! LOL... CBOTW is here to stay and now I can work on it on a regular basis with new posts and yes that means Power Rangers Podcast is going to be worked on this week at some point especially before the holiday comes up at the start of July when I am down in Boston for a week, week and a half at the most. I am excited to what is next for CBOTW and what I am going to be doing next and the plans especially. I am going to be around a lot more and excited for the future plans as I will be starting to prep things very soon!

Wiped Out The Collab Page and Re-Coded It!

             I know it has been a while since I fiddled around with the code in the back end of this website and I decided to give the entire page an overhaul as it was long due for it as the page for the collabs has been sitting gathering since the Power Rangers Podcast went on a hiatus all of a sudden due to a very and hectic schedule I was under. So what I have done was wiped out the entire code which caused the website page to be removed from the entire website but it is still there, but it is not visible to you guys till late last night as I brought it back online without the new content but gives you an idea way things look and I think it honestly looks a ton better as I brought in the description next to the title of the collab then below the code to the player so I sort of gave it the sleeker look and less text then ever as there was honestly way too much text when it came to the page and I know it was very texty and I realize that is truly not a word technically but I mean it was a cluttered up page and really in need of maintenance and that is what I did yesterday was work on the page and looks better. 


           Yes the page is live, just go to the collabs page to see the changes that we have made and honestly I am much happier with it and I know there is one part that looks kind of spread apart but I tried everything to fix it but it seems to just not be fixable at this point but cannot really tell but I will try and continue to fix that, might be a site bug with blogger.com but it could be out of my control but I am sure it has nothing to do with any of the code and I checked time and time again on the code so there is nothing wrong with the code from my back end as it has been checked so many times, my brain hurts but I don't think you guys will really notice much of a difference anyways and nobody has really said anything to me about the gap on there. 


           However, I needed to make these changes to start fitting in newer episodes as I knew when the late spring came, I would be finishing up the prep work for Power Rangers Podcast to get ready to start recording and I had to realize to get this page ready for new releases as I haven't touched the actual page since December of last year so that is definitely 6 months ago to the day of this post being released to you guys, however that is about to soon change with the most recent upload nearly 24 hours from now. I hope you guys enjoy the episode tomorrow and fair warning it is an hour long as we had a ton of content to cover on the episode but we hope you enjoy it and let me know on social media what you think!

Been Going Non Stop Since January and It's Not Over Yet!

              It is no secret that I have been going non stop since January, first with the 9th season covering Music City CMT and Celebrity Big Brother US Season 2. Then it followed not long after with the 10th season and the podcast's season is still not finished and sounding like it is finished yet and yes I have mentioned it in a post before here on the website and it is really hard to pinpoint if the season of Amazing Race 31 will end before Big Brother 21 begins or not so it will definitely will depend how things go honestly but sounds like I will definitely have a busy summer ahead of me plus going away on holidays at the start of July which I do have to figure out the schedule and I think there will be a week of me doubling up on podcasts on 1 episode so I will decide when the time comes. I may be gone for a week, week and a half while I am out there it is unclear what the plan is. However with this busy schedule, I have already made the decision to go back to the original 2 podcasts a week and there is a reason why I did 3 a week was because of this being it's 10th season but I think it is better to just do it weekly but I learned from the mistakes I made during the season and moving forward I am going to fix the mistakes I made. Honestly now I am getting into a rhythm of things just will have to play catch up when I get back from my East Coast trip and i wish i could get a laptop but maybe once i get into web design I will have one that I can use as I will be required to have one but that's later on.


               I know I will work things out to get things on the straight and arrow when I get back and I am going to talk to my parents about this and to when but anyways it ain't over till it ain't over as were still fully on and I think at the point that the decision for the podcast I am more leaning towards continuing on the season at this point as I think it will end up crossing paths in the end so probably best to just keep on going and not stop till end of the next two seasons of both Big Brother 21 and Amazing Race Canada 7.  It's fine with me honestly, it is. It is truly fine with me continuing on with the season and it is what it is in the end and I will someway, somehow deal with things and get things figured out and I always do in the end. Keeping busy is a good thing honesty and it is good to stay busy throughout the summer especially and I really do know the entire schedule for the podcast and I will be announcing soon the schedule, don't you worry.

Will Be Back On The Road Late June!

              It is no secret that both Larry and I are planning a trip to Etobicoke and we will be at the Sherway Garden then on the best over to Kipling and across. I do not know the route from there honestly, either Streetcar across China Town down past the harbor front then to Union then Go Train home that is the question I am starting to wonder about but that is to be discussed but I will more then likely wearing my Chris B On The Web shirt and of course both of us will have our tags on as this is an official tour for CBOTW, the Founder/Owner and a member of what is left of the Alumni... I will have flyers for us to hand out if you need information and yes I will love to chat with you guys as well. I am looking forward to going out and actually being able to promote the website a bit in the public eye finally as I have been very, very quiet publicly as I have been hidden but with the nicer weather I can wear my shirt finally and able to show off everything we have worked hard for on CBOTW. Larry and I have really discussed and discussed this idea of going out and about and maybe this is something him and I need to do every year is going out promote Chris B On The Web especially in the City of Toronto I think this could be an idea to do every year. Or I could always have flyers with me when I do hit Toronto every year. 


              Anyways I am looking forward to the next Toronto trip with Larry this time around and able to be out of my smaller city here and away from all the drama I have had to deal with so it will be an nice break for me and it is always an excuse to go out to Toronto and it hasn't been the first trip I have been on lately as you know I was in Toronto 1 week ago Monday and I am ready to do this all over again from the start but this time going a longer distance but it will be an adventure of a life time honestly! I am looking forward to this and ready for another trip. I am sure I will be doing a few other trips from time to time to Toronto and plenty more blogs and yes I will be blogging this trip not next week but the week after I will have my pad of paper with me as usual and I know I will be out more as there will indeed more trips and events this summer as I will be one busy person.

Everything About Reality TV Changes (June 4th, 2019)

              I know that I did renew the podcast for 2 more seasons officially with a more then likely chance to be back for a 13th season.... However I decided to only renew the 2 seasons due to the fact that Amazing Race 31 may end up crossing schedules of Big Brother 21 and Amazing Race Canada so which means, the 10th season may be extended and I did the math and it would be end of the season 70 - 71 episodes which is insane honestly. So today's blog I am making it clear that it is renewed for 2 more seasons with a greater chance of it being renewed for a 13th in 2020. I have listed below two scenarios what could happen:

Scenario 1:

Summer 2019 (May continue Season 10 right into the start of the 10th season):

Big Brother 21
The Amazing Race Canada 7 

Fall 2019 (Season 11... ?):

Survivor: Island of The Idols (Season 39)

Winter 2020 (Season 12... ?):

Survivor 40

Big Brother Canada 8

Scenario 2:

Summer 2019 (Season 11):

Big Brother 21
The Amazing Race Canada 7 

Fall 2019 (Season 12):

Survivor: Island of The Idols (Season 39)

Winter 2020 (Season 13.... Will Be Renewed Definitely):

Survivor 40

Big Brother Canada 8


          I think honestly that second scenario is not going to happen as I think I will be going with the 1st one as it seems the most logical as it doesn't seem like it will be done before the start of Big Brother 21 but an official schedule is coming once I do know when the finale for The Amazing Race 31.but I do have a schedule put together with the ideas so I will officially announce it when the time is right but I wasn't think straight so I am sorry if I announced things too quickly and have removed or changed those articles I wrote. I need to think and it was kind of spur the moment where I kind of figured it would end up crossing paths but it is what it is and we just gotta deal with it but now you guys got an update to what is up with the podcast.

Power Rangers Podcast Returns Monday!

           With great excitement after 6 months of not recording the podcast, I am not prouder of what was done back on the weekend. It has been a roller coaster of hours or preparation and watching the show has truly paid off. I know I have been asked my not only you guys the fans about the return of the podcast but not only them but my co host, Larry has asked numerous times when is it coming back. With great pleasure and excitement, I am proud to say Power Rangers Podcast is returning this upcoming Monday with the Power Rangers In Space. I have been working on the editing of the podcast, getting ready and once I am done editing, the next step is to actually get the page ready to start releasing the episodes over on the collabs page in the next 2 weeks once a week on the Monday. I am so stoked after the long wait and silence of Larry and I not saying a word as we kind of started to speculate as the months going on during the hiatus that the planning for the return but kept things very hush hush especially to Larry and my alumni and staff as they get insight what is going on before you guys even know. However it is very exciting news and I am beyond excited that I am posting up a new episode next week and got the rest of the week to finish editing the episodes and getting ready for release. I also would like to say I do have an announcement to when the next one is coming out which will be a week Monday but here is what the schedule will look like for the next 2 weeks of this podcast:

Monday, June 10th, 2019: Power Rangers In Space Podcast, 8 pm EST

Monday, June 17th, 2019: Power Rangers Round Table Podcast, 8 pm EST


           The Power Rangers In Space is about an hour long meanwhile the Round Table Podcast is around 20 - 30 minutes long. It really all depends and it varies from episode to episode but you guys are getting content. I honestly cannot wait for you guys to hear both episodes and excited for the future episodes down the road as well and I know 6 months is a long wait but remember that both Larry and I only do this twice a year and it isn't too often we sit down to record these as it does take time to watch the season write notes then type up the notes but I got a plan which I will reveal in time that I may be adding on a 3rd session in 2020 but we will see how the schedule fits as right now I know I renewed my podcast series for a 11th and 12th season and I know more but you will see in a seperate post about that at 2 pm EST.

Video Games I Have Given Up On

            There has been game that I just did not finish or had issues with and that is what today's blog post is about.games I have just given up and the list is not very short there are a pile of them on my list. So what is this list? Here are the games I have failed to finish:

1) Medal of Honor- It wasn't the original and In just got stuck and nowhere near completing the video game and I just did not really understand how to finish the game honestly...  So It went into my deleted video games list first.

2) Bomber Crew- The delay on the game to getting the character to the proper position was one of the issues. No matter what I did they were so slow to respond so the response on the game wasn't overly great however still is a great video game and I'd try it again in the nearby future.

3) Oxygen Not Included- Honestly I had no idea how to play the game and I did what I do best is rage quit the video game. It was too complicated for me honestly and not sure why I ended up quitting without trying.

4) Cities Skylines- There was errors in the game and not sure why the heck there was an error so I made the decision to delete the game from the list of games.

5) XCom: Enemy Unknown- I actually enjoyed playing this game and honestly not sure how in the world I managed to get rid of the game honestly as I was really enjoying the game as it reminded me of Star Craft video game which I plan on playing again as I haven't played it in years. 

              The list I am sure there are more on the list but I just cannot remember the ones that I deleted and I knew that I was going to be doing a post and should of had a list of the games I got rid of and like usual I am sure once this post is done and up I will remember the ones that I forgotten on the list. Recently my memory hasn't been great to remembering things but it's me... I always seem to let things slip out of my mind but I always seem to remember it at the wrong possible time. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed the list and I do plan on playing new games down the road and I think on my list down the road is Escape from Tarkov as I watched Dan playing it and I really wanna play it so it's on the list and I am going to ask my parents to get it for me for birthday. I am good with the shooter games and I think I'd do well on the game. Never know maybe I'd stream it to my channel on YouTube once and a while when I have the free time. So always time for a new game on top of the ones that I failed to finish. Finally I would like to say I'd give XCom another shot and I would buy it again and try to beat the game as it was an accidental erase by mistake.

What Were My Favorite Platforms For Streaming?

              I know I never spoken which platforms I really liked to stream on and really there were only 2 platforms I really liked honestly... Out of all the platforms I have been on which are a ton of them honestly... Too many to really count and not enough fingers to count really... lol! There are only really two that hit home with me and of course my team back in the day if you remember those days who have been following me since the beginning of my adventure online. I know, I know, stop stalling and talk about the platforms that I really enjoyed streaming on but mind you both of these platforms are no longer around as they have closed down...


1) BlogTV.com- Now merged with YouNow, it was the first platform I was on briefly in 2008 and boy the platform was on of the best but for streaming wise wasn't the first platform I officially started on and UBroadcast does not no longer exist as well. Met a ton of friends and I got the privilege to DJ for a station which is no longer active both on this platform and another I will mention in the second point of this post today. I was in touch with the owner for many years but recently have lost touch which happens. I really do not talk to anybody from the platform but met someone who was on BlogTV back in the day. The Video Projects Team could of done things differently and just done social casts back in the day, things could of been different but I really enjoyed the platform, it was a great platform indeed.

2) Stickam.com- Another site that has gone was the second platform I was on and was recommended and that is how I started to DJ for 2 other stations but once moved over to BlogTV then I was with them for a short time. I once again met some great people and stay connected with them for about 4 - 5 years before I lost contact with them but the fact you were able to cam up was amazing on the sides and that is when I brought a new show in with a friend. Now it didn't last long but we got some good numbers even for a talk radio network. I remember I was in a friends room and one of my staff came in spamming and here comes the Stickam Admin to ban them from the room... LOL... Ahh the memories which I truly do miss honestly!


               There is my list of platforms that I enjoyed the most and honestly those are the platforms I excelled at with streaming to. It is sad that both of those sites are now no longer around or have merged with another website and honestly streaming today isn't the same like back in 2010 - 2013. That is kind of why I gave up on streaming, the platforms were not the same honestly. It didn't have the same feel as before and plus the trolls got out of control and even platforms I am now banned on 2 of em the staff there never really liked me from day 1 so I am in a better place now then I w as before and been a success on my own on a daily basis.

My Thoughts On My Podcasts Next 2 Seasons of Everything About Reality TV

              It is scary to think my podcast will be around for another 3 seasons but exciting to be back for another 2 seasons, Big Brother 21, The Amazing Race Canada 7 this summer for the 11th season, then Survivor: Island of The Idols in the fall, then the New Year, another announcement for Season 12 and on announcement as well. Now we currently do not know the future of Celebrity Big Brother nor the summer time for next year but that is a long way from now to see what will happen. Also I know I haven't heard anything about Music City CMT and don't think I haven't been thinking about doing recaps on that show cause you guys know me too well, I'd do it in a heartbeat and you guys have enjoyed the recaps in the past 2 seasons so it is on my radar. So pretty much Music City CMT, Celebrity Big Brother are on my radar if both of those are to return again in the New Year, however like I said it is too soon to know but in time we will know what is going to happen and of course like usual, I will always keep you guys up to date on things and to what is what. Right Now, you guy kind of know the Summer and Fall shows I will be covering but nothing beyond that at the point but yes I said it was renewed for 3 more seasons.  


           The reason the podcast has been continuing on is because of you guys who keep it going with listening each and every week and the fact I keep on having shows to cover each and every season so I say thank you for the continuous support of the podcast as we're not going anywhere anytime soon as we are heading into the podcast's 11th season in a few weeks and I am so stoked to be recapping Big Brother 21 and The Amazing Race Canada 7. Now I may as well say this I knew since the day the renewal of The Amazing Race Canada that I would be active but the truth is Big Brother renewal what was holding me up to the renewal status of the podcast and why I went very quiet on the podcast. Now like I said on social media, I am holding off the schedule due to the fact I am still active on the 10th season so I am waiting till it finishes which we are on the 8th leg as of next week.  Soon as the finale week comes then I will start making announcement of the schedule for the summer. All I know I do not think there will be time off nor off season podcasts at this time as we'll be jumping right into the 11th season right away as there may be an announcement regarding the summer soon in changes but will see very soon!. I am feeling rejuvenated since finishing up Big Brother Canada and Survivor Edge of Extinction as I have taken time off for myself but excited for the rest of this season and the summer as well.
