Everything About Reality TV Is Ending... What's Next?

           So the rumors are true and I needed several days to process this entire change that is about to happen. Yes "Everything About Reality TV" Podcast is coming to an end after 4 long years On The Air and there will be changes with CBOTW and the way of podcasts. I am nervous for the changes but like Rocky said, this change will be good for me and Larry told me I have been doing this a long time now. Reason is not the negative comments but it is more with me feeling burnt out as I have been going non stop for the last 11 months now with very hardly any break so I am feeling ready for change. Now what is the changes? They are:

     - I plan on taking a break from running my podcast till the start of January, then The Entertainment Man Podcast also known as The EM Podcast will be starting the first Sunday of January so I am taking a break. 

    - I will still be working on Power Rangers Podcast and on Punk Rock Cheeseburger during the break and I won't be going far from those ones while the transition stage is completed. 

     - Everything About Reality TV Feeds will no longer have new episodes and will stay up on all the platforms until Late 2020 when I will get them removed but old Episodes will remain on Podcasts.com from here on out. 

      - The EM Podcast will then grow onto websites like Stitcher, ITunes, TuneIn & Player FM one the ball gets rolling with then I will make the move to the other platforms within a week later I will work on bringing it onto the podcast. 

      - Everything About Reality TV Podcast Off Season Podcasts that have been written have been destroyed or thrown out in the trash on any flash drive or on the computer once the season is finished. Actually I have removed all the graphics and it is now stored on the flash drive so this way I have a copy. Also all episodes are on the external hard drive, yes all 240 + episodes and collabs are on there.

       There is what is going to be happening and when the Podcast is starting so technically and what is next for me. Honestly I am excited for the change to happen and ready to start something newer and different. I think it was time and I could really sense it back in May that the end is near and for once I listen to my own heart and gut on this and just hope this doesn't come back to bite me in the butt in the end but I don't think it will as Rocky said this change will be totally good for me and things won't be as crazy for me as they are right now. The date for the Podcast to start in Sunday, January 5th, 2020 officially. So there ya go with the official date for the podcast to be launched.

Studio Renovations Have Started!

              The renovations have begun here in the studio which means mass chaos and mess but the most part the mess is done as we got the first layer down minus one area but today we were or are working on the second layer of the insulation as that is the first step towards this project. The next step after that is to try and move the electrical out and I know safety first as we will have to turn off the power in here to make sure we do not hurt ourselves whatsoever with this project. Then the fun part of this project begins with us working with putting up the wooden panels up on the wall. However we are working on it, we have just started this project and it will be a few week to a month hence the reason why we have stopped production of Power Rangers Podcast till at least January when this is all done an the studio is set in place finally with the changes that are being made as were moving stuff around in here and we're excited for studio changes that coming for us. That is why I have started to put things on hold. 


              There is no ETA when I will have things back and re-setup, I hope for Mid December to get things right on track with me but we will see as there is numerous changes with the desk top especially as there is a plan for that as well. Please be patient with me during the coming weeks as we are working as hard as we can to get things back on track first before we bring out some content to you guys so studio comes first before the content comes out to you guys that is what is the upmost importance. I know you guys were not happy with the announcement that Power Rangers Podcast went back on hiatus till January but if you think of it this way you guys are getting 3 collabs next year with Larry and I so that is truly a bonus for you especially so consider this a treat as the following year, well more then likely I will be back to 2 recording sessions a year so you guys are in for an bonus come 2020 on top of all these changes that is about to happen for the website especially. Finally I want to thank-you guys for being your patience and I will give updates from time to time when I have an update to give you guys.

Favorite Episodes of The Entertainment Man Talk Show!

             Today I would like talk about My favorite episodes that I have filmed of The Entertainment Man Talk Show. Now that it has been nearly 3.5 years since I left the YouTube platform, I sure as heck do feel comfortable talking about it and there is a bunch of episodes that really hit home and were on my favorites to film. I am sure you guys you guys can guess some of em as I am probably tweeted it out before. Anyways here are my top episodes that I enjoyed filming:


1) The 50th Episode!: This took place in Season 2 and I was so excited yet there was a bunch of drama on set that day as I wanted things to be just perfect for that day as it is a milestone for the series.

2) 100th Episode: While this episode is no longer anywhere and is a lost episode but again another milestone out of the 112 episodes that both Larry and I between 2013 and 2016 before the series ended in 2016. 

3) Town Hall of 1873: Probably one of the first of several locations I filmed at over the course of the 6 seasons the series was running that needed permission, OK to film at. Another reason I chose this location is because of the history of the theater as it once was a jail and also a fire station back in the day.

4) York-Durham Railway: Was on my list many years before we actually filmed and I was very familiar with the railway but I waited till the time was right and we filmed in June 2016 and that was the last ever episode him and I ever filmed and was a memorable finish the series off before it ended.


             There is 4 of my favorite episodes that I enjoyed recording or filming the episode. I have nothing but the best memories despite the way things ended I cannot not be bitter especially now that it has been 3.5 years now I am nothing but proud of it lasting the 6 long seasons with 2 years short of the 10 year mark since it started. There is nothing but tons of memories with the series and I will have the same when Everything About Reality TV Podcast ends in December and I move onto bigger and better things with CBOTW. I have to remember the good memories not the negative and that is why I wanted to make this post and I hope you guys enjoyed today's post and I will see you in the next post tomorrow.

Memories of Riding The Older Buses Back In The Day (Throwback Thursday Story)

              Back in the day when I was growing up, we never had the handicapped buses as they were all stairs we had to climb up and I am talking old, old buses. Now what buses am I really talking about?

• The old General Motors Fish Bowl buses as they always called them back then and always warm when I was on them and comfortable as well as the seats where padded. I also the Air conditioned ones they had later on before they were all pulled out of service and retired.
• The MCI Classics- Really warm all the time which is always nice and I remember these really well back in the day. 
• Flyers- Not the ones that we have to this day, the ones that had the rounded windows I remember very, very well. 
• The next one is of course the Orion buses and I remember em from the old orions 117, 121, 122 & 123. Also from 129 - 145 in the numbers as the transit here had a ton of them. I also remember these from when I was still in my college years when I was in school for pre-media.

              There is a ton of memories from the buses I rode the buses and those are the buses I remember. I totally remember going home on the buses quite often with my dad from when I was in elementary school and remembering the old fish bowls and what not. Also as I said I took some of the older Orion buses when I was in college and I remember correctly that the 8141 one of the final Orion buses remaining in the system at the time and the last time I was on one was the 8141 bus and there is proof and when I say proof there is a video on YouTube of me on the bus so there is actual proof of it too. I will never forget which bus it was either and I remember it very vividly too.

My Favorite Monk Episodes!

               Today's post I would like to talk about some of my favorite Monk episodes. Now a small back story to how I get into the show. Now I got into the TV Show because of Eric, he introduced me into the show and I was wondering what the heck I was technically watching but as I kept on getting further and further into the show, I got right into the show and I have seen all seasons on Monk from start to finish. Anyways here are some of my favorite episodes that I enjoy:


1) Mr Monk On The Air- Mr. Monk goes on radio during his investigation and of course he got embarrassed when with a remix of him saying "Wipe, Wipe, Wipe" Which I found pretty hysterical to be honestly. 

2) Mr. Monk Stays In Bed- Poor Monk sick in bed with what I think is the flu bug. Anyways Julie, Natalie's daughter gave him a get well card that had a musical interlude to it and drove Mr. Monk insane to a point he tried to hide it and eventually threw it out. At the end the card came back to save the day and probably haunt Mr. Monk.

3) Mr. Monk A Contestant On Game Show- I know what you're going to say, I do not remember the name of any of these damn names of the actual episodes but he was trying to figure out how the one contestant is cheating and of course he went in there and he kept on cleaning off the smudge off the button and of course the button kept going off which was funny and personally one of my favorite episodes to date.

            There is a few episodes and like always with these kind of posts, I do not want to over do the posts and I try and not do that with these posts but those are at least my top 3 favorite let's just say and it is nice but I really hoped to add in more but that's OK, I am happy with the final product and I really hope you guys have enjoyed today's post as always I enjoyed writing this post for you guys.

Blog & Team Updates

             I keep forgetting that Larry has author privileges here on the website and I just looked and he is still author here so I should get him to post here and there and we will have something to blog about in the New Year as we are planning on going to Popeyes for Lunch and doing a Food Review for you guys and I have been saying this for the longest time now but it will be done for sure.  Larry doesn't always have to post but like I have told him in the past he has that privilege to write and he hasn't yet but he probably has totally forgotten he has the privilege. Not sure what he would blog about but we have a couple of ideas on our mind and they are:

• Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker- Review  the movie with no spoilers as that is what we are not that kind of website or blog that spoils the movie for you guys but that can be on the list for him to review, even myself, we both can do a review.
• Food Reviews- We are planning to do some food reviews together. We have like I said Pop Eyes on the list, I have Five Guys Burgers, Mr. Burger, Starr Burger so we have a few places in mind for the New Year and they will be even out on a Monthly basis for a while but we wanna do some.         

            Both him and I will do a review together and this was his idea for the website so I am very excited to see what is brought to the website and I am sure excited to be bringing some newer content to the website especially. We got the podcasts and now we got a bunch of content on the website but Larry is just the start and I am sure we will be adding a bunch of new stuff and we will definitely have to put a schedule together so this way we are not crossing paths with posts but we will all meeting discussing this soon to what we want to do. So exciting stuff for the website and like I said this is only the start for us! Also I am moving my blog posts to 12 Noon EST for now on. Finally the team page is returning soon!

Semi-Retired From Streaming!

             I know you guys haven't seen me live for over a month now and it has been a long time since I've casted on my own channel and obviously still co-host after PRCB is recorded on the "After Dark's" however we haven't been live. So I guess at this moment, I am just semi-retired from Streaming minus the "After Darks" that I have done but again not sure what the plan is this week yet if I am planning to be on the podcast or not. More then likely am but we will see what this week brings but either way I still cast but it is more of a co-host but still its a cast. So it is a semi retirement but still active around the community and a big part of Punk Rock Cheeseburger. So I am not fully retired so technically the title I think is clickbait title... SMH! I honestly streaming is not as important but I do stream with Rocky on an almost week basis. My primary focus and always will be the podcasts and with Twitch being second on the list but like I said I am a Co-Host role more. As for the Chris985 account on Twitch, I only use it for listening to shows on Twitch on an almost regular basis and I do follow a ton of different people too.


           I think this is the best decision for me to not stream and plus I have been trolled left right and center on the website but letting it bother me no more and there is something planned for PRCB and I want to wait and yes Twitch is involved and like I said I am on weekly on PRCB and that's it. I am dedicated to being on his stream once a week and honestly I am happy about it. I mean not just happy but I am OK with this change and I wanted to try and get away from streaming a bit more and to be a co-host or guest on Rocky's stream, I am really happy with it. I know we haven't been streaming Friday night "After Dark's" as we both have been a bit busy lately but we are going to get back to it. As you can see on the screen cap I posted on the post here to the title of the post for today, I changed it as I am technically Semi-retired from streaming as I said above. Why did I do this? Well I think it is more suitable that it says that I am semi retired not fully retired from streaming. It was the wrong idea and honestly the original title felt very clickbait for a title. I honestly do not want to be know for being a click baiter so that is why I changed the title and very quickly. So that is what is going on with me streaming and that entire thing about me streaming even to FB Fan Page, more then likely it will not happen at all.

Plans For Chris B On The Web's 5 Year Anniversary!

           If you haven't been keeping tabs in the last few years well this year marks 5 years ago since CBOTW (Chris B On The Web) is turning 5 and YOU guys the fans can get involved with this year celebrations and probably a ton more to come on that day and you never know. I got a bunch of ideas and I will talk about it on today's blog post and an announcement is coming but here is what is planned for the 5 year Anniversary for Chris B On The Web:
  
      1) The first thing I would like to mention that YOU GUYS, will be involved with the anniversary and this is strictly you guys as I have planned to not involve any ex staff but I will be talking to em in case they want to contribute but mainly going to involved you guys with making a video and again details are coming up on the social media later on today when I get a chance to record the video for social medi

      2) I am planning a luncheon with some of my former staff, not sure who will be available but I am sure Larry will be able to be there so at least one of us but planning to see if Eric and Justin wanna join in to the festivities and I will be talking to all 3 of the guys this week to see if they are interested in doing something like this to celebrate which more then likely it will not be on the exact day but whatever day they are available we will be doing this get together for Lunch and celebrating. 

       3) I may do a cast with Larry but again that is really up in the air right now as we do not know what the plan is or if we want to do that but there is ideas but I highly doubt it as I do not really want to make a big deal over it honestly but again that is all up in the air and if that was the case probably over on Periscope and yes I have had problems over there but able to make an account so I must of been unbanned and not known that but again I am not sure at this moment what we wanna do to be honest, it could be on the Facebook Fan Page for Chris B On The Web.


          There is what is planned but not planning to do all 3 for the most part 3 of it but never know may do a small FB Live even while we are out at lunch with all 3 of us I can do a small FB Live and we can all chat and what not but what I would like to achieve is to actually get 2 out of the 3 done at the most. Please do stay tuned to social media this week as I probably will know a ton more. Finally I apologize for no Royal Winter Fair Post this year as I didn't have the media pass with me this year but will make it up to you guys soon!

Sleep Schedule Is Really Off!

           Originally it was a weight loss update but obviously it is now an update on my sleep now as you know my sleep is all over the darn place. I know one of the reasons why is because of me working on the Power Rangers Podcast and getting the notes typed up and really getting it done as I am now half way through the two sets of notes my sleep should be getting better but it hasn't been lately as I have been sleeping early and up during the night but the nights have been very productive. However I need to get sleep fixed and probably the only time I can really sleep early is the days I am on Punk Rock Cheeseburger Podcast which is usually every week but at least once a month at the most. maybe more off. However the other days I need to get to bed around 9 or 930 at night at the most on the other nights but I need to actually start training my body to actually go to bed at this time at that time to ensure I get better sleep and not sleep half the damn day so this way I can get work done for the website as that hasn't been the case but yet I have been able to get Everything About Reality TV Podcast on time which it hasn't been the last 2 weeks it has been on a very odd schedule and this is due to my sleep schedule but hey least it is back on time. Sleep and my mental health is still the upmost important to me and I need to take care about myself at the same time but been trying. 


            This upcoming week I promise to get myself back on track with sleep and you obviously can tell the days I am awake during the night with my posts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posting stuff up but most of the time during the night I tweet the most of the time. However today I am getting my sleep back on the right track as I know I'll be back fairly late like 830 - 9 pm ish so this will be good I can relax for 30 minutes then go to bed and tomorrow's another day for me and I plan on working on the Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast more tomorrow with the sleep being fixed and a lot better then it has been lately. You cannot imagine how tired and worn out I am from the lack of sleep during the night. I miss getting up at 330, maybe 4 or 430 am and getting my day started but again that hasn't been the case lately as you know my posts on social are pretty much all over the place and I am sure you guys are quite confused. Final things I would like to say is my posts lately are not as good as they normally have been as sometimes they aren't making sense or they have been misspells on there that is why. Either way this week will be a tough week to get things back on the right track for me and also the podcast but I know I can do it if I put my mind to it and that is what is going on with me on this little update blog post.

Why Did Larry I Start The Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast?

           Today's post is why did I decided to start The Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast with Larry? Now as you know Larry wasn't part of CBOTW in 2018 and when him and I decided to do this it was more on a 2 times a year basis and that is what we really wanted to do with The Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast and that is what we have set but you never know what is in stored for 2020 especially. However this do not answer the question why the heck did Larry and I start this and why we enjoy doing this content exclusively on the website alone. First as two individuals who were born in the early 80's/Mid 80's we grew up with Power Rangers and being in our 30's we are just a bunch of nerds behind microphones and talking about a show we love and I thought after this started I thought this wouldn't do very well but it mind blowing to see the views flow right in and like Larry has said to me in the end it is always about the views and you guys seem to enjoy it. The second part I want to say is that we are aiming for the very nearby future to do every single season of the podcast but we are jumping ahead.


              However we enjoy it and as long as him and I enjoy this collaboration Podcast is what matters honestly. Also yes viewers matter and honestly at the start i thought we weren't that entertaining but you guys seem to really enjoy them and trust me we are only a month away from production and by then we will have a brand new studio to record in as right now I am in tornado alley with my studio as it's an appalling mess right now but that is besides the point. I may as well update you I am currently in Lightspeed Rescue and working extremely hard to get it done by December 1st, a month from now and really aiming for December for him and I to record so we can stay on schedule. So I am half way done at this point and getting closer. This is why I work hard I enjoy this kind of content and it seems to do very well, even for the website itself. It goes to show it does extremely well. So you can see with today's post both Larry and I enjoy this even if it is every twice a year with 2 episodes per session with a total of 4 episodes a year, we both sure as heck enjoy the episodes and why we have started this podcast. We are both looking forward to the very near future with this podcast.

Favorite Cartoon Shows!

             Today's post is obviously going to be a 2 post day on top of Everything About Reality TV going up. I will be talking about Halloween and I think today I kind of went overboard in posts and should of just stuck to one but hey least I'll have a months worth of blog posts. Anyways today I want to talk about on the blog today in post 1 of 2 is my favorite cartoons I watched growing up into my Childhood and also as a teenager into my adulthood:

• The Simpsons- I have been watching this since I was watching probably since I was 11 or 12 then obviously after so many seasons watching I just stopped watching and now I have started to watch the show again in the 31st season of the podcast as I made sure that I was going to watch this season but still one of my favorite shows growing up as well.

• King of The Hill- One of the other shows I watched that was back to back with The Simpsons and always watched Hank saying with Propane and Propane Accessories. Still a great show when it was on the air. 

• Futurama- Another show that I loved as a teenager and familiar with actress Katey Sagal who was on the 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter and also she is known for Married With Children known as the lazy but hilarious Peg Bundy. Anyways that is besides the point but I mean I know who she is. Also the infamous line kiss my shiny metal butt as I am saying it appropriately.

• Garfield and Friends- The Lasagna loving cat and I remember watching this show as a kid and remember all the different episodes that they aired. Now that is a long time ago and it is indeed hard to remember that far back but I enjoyed the show and brings back memories as a kid. 

• Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show/Looney Toons- Now this use to be a weekly things I use to watch on the weekends, particularly Sundays I use to watch Looney Tunes but mainly Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show which was similar to Looney Toons but I enjoyed the craziness from Bugs Bunny to Daffy Duck to Wile E. Coyote falling off the cliff still one of my favorite shows as a kid.

Dead By Daylight Video Game Review!

          I do not have a ton of hours on this game whatsoever but it is time I give some kind of review. I honestly can say at the start was a great start. First time I played I escaped! I'm like this is too easy but the more I played it became a lot more tougher for me and I didn't know I had to repair the generator and get them all running so this way it shows where you have to go. So I was a bit of a noob at this game and still am but getting better and better at it and I like this game especially for this time of the year as you all know Halloween is tomorrow and I love the horror video games too. Now the fact I know how to play this game, helps me a ton and I mean it really helped. Why do I say that? Well now that I know to repair the generators that really helps me find the door especially. It isn't that hard minus having to run away from that weird looking creature. I am really happy that Rocky got me into this game and I really enjoy it. However I have only played 9.5 hours of the game and need to get back into it honestly. I am planning to hopefully play with him this week but depends on my sleep schedule and my schedule in general as you know I am very busy with planning another collab down the road in December. Anyways I think it is kind of hard to rate this game at this point but it is truly an enjoyable game and if I was to rate it I would but right now probably out of 5 I would rate it a 4 as it is a tough game at times and you have to really think and watch you're back.


         However I have just started playing Dead By Deadlight and I just gotta get back into the game a lot more honestly and with me watching Lightspeed Rescue, I know I can play a bit and take notes at the same time I'm sure and I know I try and play a ton more. The more I play, the more I will be able to get better and also I need to start upgrading the characters which that will do a ton of good for me in the game and I think I am like only level 2 or 3 on the two main characters I am playing at this point so it surely doesn't help whatsoever to have low levels on the characters so that is definitely going to have to be a goal for me to rank em up big time to ensure the more the better. I realize too I have to upgrade different skills which I have started to do so I am on my way but yet again like I said from my point of view I have to play a ton more and that is definitely in the plans for me moving forward that I am going to make time to play even for an hour a day is good as I know working non stop is not a good thing and I do need to take a break and not burn myself out whatsoever.

Made Two Important Decisions!

         I know this is another podcast post. I am sorry about that! Anyways I try to limit down but this is definitely important to make this entirely clear to you guys that I have decided to not have anyone cover Big Brother Canada and also Big Brother US. This is definitely not an easy decision to make with the recent stuff going on with Chris B On The Web I am pretty much happier on my own with doing the podcast with some help from Larry on basically decision making with the podcast.  I mean not just one decision but two of them I have made with the podcast come 2020 when we hit the New Year there is a couple of things I am making changes to and here are there:

     1) The first thing on my list is obviously the transition between the seasons and the off season. Now like I said I do not know when Survivor 40 or Big Brother Canada 8 is scheduled to start but I am guessing towards the end of February so I am planning to do off season podcasts maybe every second week or depending how things are but toward the start of January I will start recording some and put them up for you guys so there will be content but every second week will be indeed be content coming your way either way. 

     2) The second important thing I would like to say to you guys is that I will not be bringing anyone on for Big Brother Canada, Season 8 nor Big Brother 22 as with the recent things going on CBOTW which I will not discuss but as you all know I am back to solo which is the original plan I had back in 2017 when Justin and I came to an mutual agreement that it is indeed better for me to go do my own thing and even someone else mention that and since going back to it only being me with still doing a collabs with Larry but nothing is going to be changed whatsoever. 


           There is the plan or the decision and I have to this time around stick to it and not go back on my own word. I need to stick to it and keep to my entire word this time around as I should by now what works and doesn't work for me. I will make this entirely clear. My website is about me. There will be no team in the very nearby future as I am very much doing fine on my own and I admit it was a mistake and we all make mistakes and I am 150% this is the best decision for me and no regrets making this move at the last second and it will definitely will help me down the road in the long run.
