The Sports Hour W/ Billy Starts Next Month!

               I know I have been very vocal about Billy's podcast and I have some news to share with you guys and I know I have spoken about podcasts quite a lot lately and that is because I have been waiting for Billy being ready to go. He has told me that he will be ready to go in November of this year. Unless something does happen then things could change on the start  date but we are aiming for November for him to start. Now I have the logo already made and the feed is yet to be created yet for the podcast that is something I need to work on for the podcast before I start to distributed on other platforms and what not.  I am starting his podcast out on the one platform then it will be distributed to other plaforms such as:

• ITunes
• TuneIn
• Player FM
• Castbox FM
• ListenNotes
• And Much, much more.

             I am going to work on the main feed next week hoping I get the Power Rangers Lost Galaxy Notes well underway and I am planning next week to get started on his feed and hopefully by November we will be ready to go for when it starts. I am sorry we have been very, very quiet on things about his podcast but I was also dealing with the cancellation of CBOTW Gamers Podcast which is now not returning anytime soon so I kind of totally forgotten to hop on here and make that announcement to you guys. So both Billy and I are very much active with the planning of his podcast and excited for his podcast to be starting soon and I do need to ask him how often it will be going up and I need to know when he's starting so I can also post it up here on the website schedule as well. Also have to post up on the menu his podcast as well as the page exists but it isn't public yet and has been sitting hidden on the page for the longest time waiting for a formal update. I will have more details on his podcast hopefully next week I can provide you guys an update on things as I get more details coming into to me.

Everything About Reality TV Podcast Will Be 3 Episodes Short of 250!

               Originally was going to do a Throwback Thursday but I went against the idea as I feel like it was too soon to actually do this as I was only involved with PRCB for nearly 3 months and I wanna wait till I hit the 1 year mark at least. Anyways I was doing the math yesterday and I realize that I am going to be 3 episodes short of 250 and I feel like it's all my fault honestly. What do I mean? If I ended up continuing on with Big Brother 21, I more then likely would of had the 250 so easily, probably end up but a little over 250 by the end of the year. However that wasn't the case this time around, I ended up stopping those recaps towards the end of the season which I lost 2 subs because of it but hope I end up gaining that back eventually. There was a lot of flaws and issues I had this summer which has really made me think about the future of the podcast and that is one of the reasons why we will be 3 short but if it wasn't for what I did screwing things up like I have been then probably would of gotten to that 250 right on. I really messed up my numbers and hurting the podcast and honestly I am starting to question myself with this podcast to how much longer it will last if I continue with the route the podcast is going or I end up walking away and doing other projects that I have going on now.  Now I know I signed a silly contract agreeing I would continue on till Fall 2020 then it would be obviously up for renewal if I want to continue and I know that is like an guaranteed additional year for the podcast  but we will definitely will have to wait and see what the plan is for 2020 - 2021 when the time is right. I need to start focusing on fixing whatever the issues are and I know there are a few that occurred during the summer and they are:

1)  Staying on track and honestly I haven't been staying on track but honestly it has become better this season then the last season to be honest and things are starting to look up for the podcast but I did lose subscribers because of this and not staying on a schedule. 

2) Fixing the quality of the microphone which is already starting to sound a ton better then it has been in the last while. I am working on and it has indeed has gotten a ton better then it has been and I wanna remain professional with the podcasts I am involved with.

3) Not making the mistake to returning to YouTube was another mistake I made and you know the song and dance to that honestly. That wasted a ton of my time too as well hence the copyright claim crap I should of just continued on with Audio ONLY which has been blowing up like crazy in numbers.


              So there is tons of reasons why we ran 3 episodes short but do not worry come January 2020 I will be doing some off season podcasts so that will be the time to catch up on the numbers to ensure we will be ready for the winter season with Survivor 40, Big Brother Canada and Amazing Race which we do not know when that is coming out so it is on the wait list for now and we will see what is going to happen.

Mckeck's Food Review 2019!

             Last week, I was out and about with my dad and it was one of the two days I was out with him for the day. Anyways we had lunch over at Mckeck's Bar and Grill and mind you this wasn't the first time for me honestly. I have been there before I think I actually did a review last year or the year before but I would have to dig into the archives of 700 + posts that I have made over the years since February 2015 when I started making posts on almost regular basis. Anyways we arrived in Haliburton and got to Mckeck's and we put in our order. We had a craft beer which was from one of the local breweries there in Haliburton. I also ordered Chicken Caesar on a Wrap which had tomato wrap on it as well which was really good actually. The wrap itself was really good and filling as heck! Those kind of wraps are usually really filling. Least it was a more of a healthier choice since I am trying to be on this damn diet and honestly ever since has gotten out of control so I need to regain myself back on this after almost a week ago since eating out 2 days in a row. Now I also had kettle chips which is well known in the States. I was given several options and I am happy that I chose the Kettle Chips with the Chipotle Sauce. The sauce itself was spicy a bit but however it was still good with the kettle chips and I pretty much used up all the sauce too.


               Now the wrap I would give it 10 out of 10 as it went above and beyond for a wrap and was so tender and crunchy and so good that it sure as heck deserves a 10 out of 10. I'd definitely have this dish again in the very near future as well. Also the kettle chips need a rating out of 5 and once again I actually give it a 10 out of 10 once again. Crunchy, lots of flavor and the size of them were quite big and it was a filling as well. The waitress was really good and super friendly so service is a definite 10 out of 10. Also the restaurant gets a 10 out of 10 as well as they really have good food and like I said I have been there in the past years as a year thing when my dad and I are up there for the fall colors. In the end I highly recommend this bar and grill as the food is really good and worth it all in the end. I will talk to you guys tomorrow for the Throwback Thursday Story post.

The Plan for Everything About Reality TV Podcast In January 2020!

                 I know I have spoken about this last week or so and I know I was himming and hawing what the plan will be and today I have made the decision since there hasn't been an announcement for a Music City or Celebrity Big Brother Season 3 for both respected series so I am going with the go ahead with the following plan for production of the Podcast in the new year:

1) Plans to get a second host involved with Everything About Reality TV Podcast are in the works and there will be nothing really done on the podcast but I am sure there will be a podcast to introduce the new host and talk to them and maybe even do a Big Brother Off Season Podcast as a way to introduce them to You Guys the fan base who will be taking it over. I am excited to be taking this step to growing the Everything About Reality TV Podcast team and excited to what is going to be happening next.


2) Starting January 7th, 2020 since there is no Music City or Celebrity Big Brother US in the New Year I will be doing a podcast every second week while we are in between the podcast and yes it will be a definitely be a Tuesday and I will be adding onto the schedule here on the website and right now I still have to decide to what episodes I will be doing and I think it will definitely be at random at the most. I do plan to be active still on the podcast however not on a weekly basis more like every second week and do not forget I will be looking at auditions and picking the next Podcast host for the Big Brother Recaps.


                So there is the announcement and it is exciting stuff to be coming up for the podcast in 2020 and I will be working on the new host part and the preparation stages for it and I am not sure how it will work but I am going to figure that out and have a few months to get all the information together. What I can tell you guys right now that the new host will be hosting Big Brother Canada, Season 8 & Big Brother US 22 then we will be up to decide if they want to continue on with us if there is a Big Brother Canada 9 and if they is a Big Brother US 23 but will not go that far yet but it is up for negotiation especially if we see a 9th season of BBCan down the road. Final thing I would like to say is yes I am stepping back from the Big Brother Recaps in 2020 as I want to mainly focus on Survivor, Amazing Race and Amazing Race Canada and I also want grow the team a bit and after 4 years on the air, I definitely think it is time to grow the team!

Sauter's Inn Food Review

               So last Thursday night, my parents and I went out for dinner to celebrate my mom's 71st birthday and I think its a great idea to do actually and I do enjoy doing this with family and we have not done this before the 3 of us. Anyways we went to Sauters Inn in Pickering which is all German Food. I had 2 glasses of wine which is very unusual of me majority of the time. Now the menu side of things, it was not an easy choice to make when it comes to the food side of things and I just wasn't really sure what to get honestly but the decision was made to get the Veal Cordon Bleu which was very tasty and the breading practically fell off as it was very well cooked. For those who do not know Cordon Bleu can be used with Chicken as well but we always have Chicken every week here in the house so it was time for something completely different this time around. Also I had a choice of potatoes and veggies but decided to go with just the potatoes as I didn't wanna over do things. Funny thing I finished everything on the plate so I was sure as heck hungry when it came to dinner. So overall the Cordon Bleu was good, I would give that a 5 out of 5 all day long. Same with the potatoes as they were nice and crunchy as I like my potatoes from time to time.


               Finally we indeed had dessert and I wasn't going to as I was pretty much full but managed to slip it in. Anyways I had Apple Strudel with powdered sugar on it with a scoop of Ice Cream. Ice cream was so nice and creamy like it should be and the strudel was nice and hot as a piece of pie or strudel is. It is always good warmed up and that extra touch of powered sugar was nice touch to it. So the strudel itself is definitely a 5 out of 5 as I enjoyed it. I would go back in the very nearby future with my parents are occasion like birthdays for prime example. However this isn't the first time having it as my mom has brought home leftovers so I know what it tastes like, however this is the first time that I have been to the actual restaurant itself if that does make any sense to you guys whatsoever so there is a slight difference but I have had food from there and enjoyed every moment of it as it is a very delicious food. My favorite dishes are the Cordon Bleu, schnitzel and so forth. It was expensive but always nice to go do once and a while from time to time.

York Durham Railway 2019!

               I know the posts are out of sync in the last couple of days with my very busy schedule recently but here is the post for today. I went to York Durham Railway and this is the first time I have been there in 3 years as 3 years ago I filmed with Larry up there for the what was the series finale and also I took a trip on it with my dad that summer as well so it was definitely time to hop back on the train, even if it is partially down the line to Goodwood and back which is what we did. I am not going to talk about the difficult time we had getting tickets as things all worked out in the end but I am so happy they are getting more and more popular to this day and I'm sure when I filmed up there it helped them as well. Anyways we went to Goodwood and back and we were on Car # 101 which is a Budd car from Boise Idaho which yes is the potato state in the U.S. Anyways we were pushed and pulled by diesel 22 which ran in the province of Quebec. So we went on our way and now we were like in the dining car where it had a table and chairs so it was comfortable for me at least but it was nice but I perfect the other type of car but those were the only seats really available at the time of our purchase of tickets.


                This is not much of a post of the day as I did take several pics which you can definitely find on my Instagram account @ChrisBOnTheWeb. Anyways we had a good time yesterday and we know in the very nearby future we need to book ahead of time to do the entire trip to Stouville and back as we very much do enjoy that trip in the past and we will be back next year for sure! We will be making sure of that! Also we got a look at the Diesel up close and I wish I said I'd like to go into all 3 of the diesels when we filmed which I can say I have been in all 3 but least I got to be in 3612 at least. So may as well mention this to you guys as well this weekend my dad and I are off to Halton County Radial Museum and the following weekend we are heading to South Simcoe Railway so we will be indeed busy for the next few weekends with new posts. Again thank you so much for reading this short post and I hope you guys enjoyed this little post about my trip and I know it wasn't much but least I got a post out for you guys tonight due to me being extremely busy all day with Larry.

Silent Lake & Haliburton Ontario 2019!

              Yesterday I got to go up north for the day with my dad and got to spend some time in the great white north. It also gave me the time to start reflecting on things not just CBOTW related and my life. My life hasn't been the most happiest nor positive in the last while and I need to get back into a more happier mood and positive attitude as it really gone south and yesterday was a good day to be out despite it being cold and what not but we dressed warm so we were perfect. Anyways we got there and went to our own stopping grounds campsite 127 where we last stayed which was years ago when we were staying with the trailer. Then we went down the hill to the dock took pics out there, then followed by our little rock area. Then we headed out to the day beach. We did a couple of the loops where we camped but that was pretty much it. The Day beach was the last place we went to. 


Then we headed our way to Haliburton as it is on our route heading home and we got to see the colors which I think honestly was about 90 - 95% full colors. We got to Haliburton and we went to McKeck's which a food review is coming this upcoming week as I have two reviews coming out this week back to back so stay tuned for that as well. Overall we had a good day and we had a very busy day but least I did sleep well that night and able to get sleep for the next day which is the York-Durham Railway which I will be talking about on tomorrow's blog post. Had a small issue with the tickets that same night and I wasn't very happy about the way things ended up but all worked out both the trip to Silent Lake and this weekend and I cannot wait to talk about it to you guys about the other places I have been to and I hope you enjoyed this blog post and I will see you guys in the next post tomorrow hopefully on time.

The Next 24 Hours Will Be Busy For Me!

              So the next 24 hours will be a busy one for me, as I will be with my dad doing things in the next  24 hours both today and tomorrow. This is why I decided to make a post and I think I am going to do some kind of post, however I wasn't going to originally post something up, however decided to make one since my weight loss is totally off kilter now due to eating out so much this week which isn't right and I know its for my mom's birthday and we didn't wanna cook but to eat 3 days in a row is much. Anyways here is what is on tap for me for today and tomorrow:


Today: I am heading up north for the day to Silent Lake Provincial Park for the day to enjoy the Fall colors as I am sure this is the time it will be really nice to see the leaves in full colors and hopefully the gate is open where we can go right through the entire park and see the colors for ourselves but we will have to definitely wait and see. Also we will be going through the Haliburton area on our way back down towards home and stopping at Makeck's which Walt Mackeny was a former Leaf player and he opened his own restaurant up in the area and it is an yearly tradition for my dad and I.


Tomorrow: Tomorrow we are going on the York Durham Railway on a small Hour and a half trip to Goodwood and back as Saturdays they do not go to Stouville which I wanted but they were completely sold out and I guess they are becoming more and more popular and that is truly great to hear and never know I may have had a part in it when we filmed in there as it is free promotion for them and you guys know I'd promote our local Heritage Railway anytime. I am looking forward to going on as I haven't been on it in a few years probably since the year Larry and I filmed up there. 


                There is what is what I am up to this weekend or start to the weekend and I think it will be definitely a good time and only the start of things technically as Sunday is another story and like I said you guys are going to know by Monday when I make the initial post about it but enjoy all the posts, today, tomorrow and Sunday as there is a ton of content in the way of the blog coming your way over the next couple of days. Anyways thanks for reading this post today and I will to you guys tomorrow.

Collab Coming Out Today & Power Rangers Collab Podcast Updates!

                Originally this was suppose to be out last night but we ended up holding off as the editing is taking longer then usual. It is more of a scheduling conflict this time around and it is not a procrastinating issue this time around. So it is different from that this time around. The last couple of weeks has been extremely busy for me and especially the last couple of days since recording the collab with Rocky. However it will be up today at some point and aiming for the afternoon. I need to get the collab page set for the new episode to go up as it needs to be setup on a new line and sometimes the code on this website can go funny at times where the text will go smaller then usual. Also I apologize for taking the initial announcement down yesterday because I did not want to falsely advertise that it is going up and that is not like me. I am aiming for this afternoon to actually posting it up as I think I will have enough time between now and the time I want to put it up so I am in good and I aiming around 8 or 9 pm EST to having the collab out as I need to get ready for Survivor: Island of The Idols which that podcast comes out tomorrow so I need to definitely step up my A-Game right now and get things out. If anything changes I will definitely let you guys know on social media if I do need a bit more time but I have been up nearly 12 hours now and no rest for me whatsoever. 


                  Now that the collab I did on the weekend is out of the way, I want to talk about Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast as you all know it has been very, very quiet recently and as you know the studio will be undergoing some renovations to the walls and some major cleanup around the studio as well. That is only half of the issue at hand as this weekend both Larry and I will be together for the day and this weekend we were suppose to record the collaboration this weekend, however at this moment that is not happening as I am currently half way finished with the two seasons I am watching right now. I am at the tail end of the Lost Galaxy season so I am getting close to the finish officially. Once that is done I move right into Lightspeed Rescue, however with the renovations coming up, I am not sure when we will be sitting down and recording right now. This is why we will be sitting down this weekend and we will be discussing when it will happen and maybe a timeline to when it will happen. I am questioning if I can finish by end of the month and we record at the end of October before one of the boom arms is removed temporarily while the reno is happening and I will be using the second mic as I am storing away the the condenser mic so it is not damaged during the renovations so I should know more by Sunday and by Monday will be making the announcement to when to expect recording to commence again. I apologize for the inconvenience but the renovation is a priority if we wanna improve the setup here in the studio.

Everything About Reality TV- January 2020 News

              I have been holding onto this news since last Wednesday night late and I do have a really good idea what is going to happen at this point but not 150% sure exactly on one of the shows we covered as there is no real news on it and been keeping an close eye so let's start talking about each of em to bringing you the news that I have:

Celebrity Big Brother: Julie who is the host of the American Big Brother did not mention a Celebrity Big Brother so I assuming there will be no announcement either. I have read up they didn't do another season, due to the ratings but I did my research which is always good to do and it did comparably well. However I heard this and Eric and I were talking about this as he is my go to news source for all things Reality TV. Now I know there is a 22nd season of Big Brother coming and the crew on Everything About Reality TV will be covering it for sure however the new contract Julie has did not include a Celebrity Big Brother Season 3 so I am at this point thinking it will not be happening which I am fine with it and that opens up a bit of a gap in the scheduling. 


Music City on CMT-  I am still waiting to see if there will be a future season and the renewal usually was in August when they mentioned if there was going to be another season. I could email them and find out but I rather be patient and wait but been waiting long month since the usual and I am starting to think it will not be returning which I am honestly sad to see it go if it is officially is finished which opens a lot of time between the seasons for me at this point so it really has started to make think and wonder what I will do between the seasons.


                  Now you are wondering what is next for this podcast after Survivor: Island of The Idols? Well if it is true that Celebrity Big Brother and Music City isn't returning then I am more then likely will be doing an pile of Off Season Podcasts for you guys even if it is every second week, I will be more then happily willing to do that and like I said on the socials I have been coming up with some new ideas that can help the podcast and it is all thanks to Eric yesterday as he gave me an idea that would be an interesting one and never know I could be doing that one in particular but we will see as usually they are picked at random when I do them. Soon as the end of the year comes and no announcement whatsoever then I will be talking about it around the 2nd of the New Year (January) to the schedule and probably will have a bunch recorded ready to go for the first week of January 2nd week of January.

Mac and Cheese Grilled Cheese Food Review

              Like I said yesterday, I wasn't planning a food review to be honest but anyways this is a spur the moment kind of review that I wasn't expecting. So I went something really out of the box and had Mac and Cheese. I know what you are going to say Mac and Cheese? Yes but it was in the Grilled Cheese Sandwich squished in the middle of the cheese and the bread. Now the outside bread had cheese on the outside as well and it is pretty much interesting and I was really unsure how to feel on the first couple of bites and I really had to look in the middle to see the actual macaroni in the middle that is when I figured it out why they call it Mac and Cheese so it was quite interesting sandwich that I had and something I feel confused about still even 2 days later I still wonder what I had. However to the review side of things the cheese was cooked perfectly, the cheese in the middle gooey and the macaroni not cooked but perfect. I honestly think it took me until the second half of my sandwich to really get the grasp of what I was eating honestly and I was truly confused but once I started to eat then I finally got the idea. So the review I would give it 3 out 5 as probably I wouldn't do it again as I rather have a normal everyday grilled cheese sandwich and I am trying to be generous.


               I honestly am being generous in my rating, I could of technically given it a 1 and really not give em a good rating. However it was good but something I think more then likely I wouldn't have again in the very nearby future. It is not because of the taste its more likely I do not think macaroni goes with a grilled cheese. It's definitely an odd ball for food but that is how I roll these days and not only that but I am also all for trying new things and that is probably one of the reasons I wanted to try it. I wasn't going to originally eat as I was trying to follow my diet after eating out on Wednesday night so my entire diet is out the window and tomorrow I need to get back into it. I really wish I could give this review a higher rating but the way I am feeling about what I ate, I feel like that yes it was good but something I wouldn't eat again. However this is just my opinion and I know you guys enjoy these and I know at times I can be critical but I said it before, I am all for trying new things and honestly I thought it was Mac and Cheese in a bowl but I was quite surprised honestly.
