I know I have been very quiet lately with the studio renovations and no real update. All I can say is right now it is a big appalling mess behind me right now. There is pretty much very little room to maneuver right now down here with all the stuff placed to the one side but either way I cannot move too well down here but with all this mess comes one wicked kick ass studio space for podcasts. I also already know what I am getting for my b day that has to do with the studio and that is a monitor mount for both of my screens here in the studio. As you can see the walls been torn off exposing the inners of the studio walls. Still gotta tear some wall down but that is besides the point as my space comes first and I am sure the studio will be set in place for the rest of the time it is down here till I move out on my own but I am excited for the new studio and it will look 100% so much better. However I need to get a stronger and better desk to be honest as this one is a cheap Walmart one but hey it did the job for the years I have had it for!
So the second part of this update is if you have noticed I have been very, very quiet around social media and that is the reason is I was with my dad today dumping a bunch of crap that we didn't need that was sitting around here in the basement and also the fact that we have busted up drywall that we threw away and I am sure that isn't the last as I said there is another part of the wall that needs removal but that is coming later on and right now the focus is squarely on my space, my area is the first step then we have to work on the rest of it but either way if it takes a couple of months then so be it. So that is the update that I do have for you guys and as you can see between the podcasts and blog posts I have been a very busy person with working around the studio with my dad getting things repaired and raring to go for the next version of the studio. When I have more updates I will be sure to make another post or keep an eye out to my Facebook Page, Twitter and Instagram for updates.
Until Tomorrow's post, have a great TGIF!

Probably noticed over the last almost week there has been a chat implemented on the website and absolutely no reasoning why it is on the website right now. Well, it was told by one of my staff that it would be a great idea to bring back the community and I think it has been long coming for the chat to return to the website finally. I kind of missed that void of having a chatroom to communicate with you guys outside of social media and email. Now the question I have been debating is whether to open it to guests or anons so if you do not want to sign up you don't have to. However the problem with me having a chatroom is the fact I use to get trolls in the room so probably and I am about 95.9999% sure it will remain where you will have to login or signup for an account which it is free to sign up. Now if I do that it means the amount of trolls will be cut down and I do got moderators and Staff that do monitor chat so that is a good thing. I couldn't even list who's on staff as we got quite the crew actually on the website but they are a big help to keeping the chatroom a clean and very positive community as that is what I want to make it is a very clean and positive experience for the visitors to the website. Obviously the last chat there was so much drama on the last chatroom I owned which at a point it kept getting delisted from being promoted on the main page of the website. However this time it will not be delisted nothing as we have all the power with the chat and it is 100% better. Any bans on the chat you pretty much cannot come back unless contacting the contact page.
So either way the trolling will be down from the last time and wish we would of found this chat service which is free to get soon and we would of changed over sooner and probably it would of been a better place to be actually. However we ended up on Tinychat for a bit before IRC then obviously no chat whatsoever. It is good to be back and even if I am not logged in I am monitoring the chatroom well ghosting my own chat and just a click away to log into the chatroom on the website. Hope you guys enjoy this feature as it is now officially back. Mind you only few rules to follow and I have to put them in but the rules are 1) No spamming, 2) No being disrespectful includes racist remarks 3) No posting inappropriate links. Pretty simple rules and there is only 3 as I do not want to bombard you guys with too many rules on the chat and I think I am one of the only people with very little rules and honestly I do not want to add a lot of rules to the chatroom. Enjoy and I will see you around the CBOTW Community here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com!

Eric and I got into quite a debate yesterday about reboots and I want to talk about this honestly. I enjoy some of the reboots but some I just said nah, definitely not. I want to highlight some of them here on the blog that actually have worked and some that I have watched so here it is:
Watching:
1) Fuller House: It was like a continuation the Tanner Family saga. This time instead of 3 girls Danny Tanner had, DJ has 3 boys. Also it was neat to see DJ, Stephanie and Kimmy 29 years later the show alone has been nostalgic from back the 90's especially.
2) Last Man Standing: Another show I picked up with no problem and it was easy to get into and of course I found the show funny and I understood the storyline each week and cannot wait it returns for a 11th season.
Not Watching Or Shouldn't Be On The Air:
1) The Connors: After the whole thing with Roseanne the show should of just stopped. No spin-off nothing. I just think it was or better off to leave it alone after a while. Watched a bit and it just didn't feel the same honestly.
2) Murphy Brown: A show that did well back in it's day but it didn't last as long with a reboot and this is part of it that they should of just left it alone. Like I said some work some do and this isn't part of it.
Now those are some that I feel that work and don't work and honestly I hear rumors that they are planning on bringing back Frazier which was another popular 90's TV Show which it was said that they are honoring the actor who played his Father recently passed away. Now there is nothing wrong with that just my worry they bring it back but how long will it last? Some people do not like the idea of a reboot. They rather just leave the show alone honestly. What about some of the actors that has passed on, how can they work around that. However it wouldn't be the same with those actors that are no longer with us and passed away. However this is only my opinion and let me know what you think about TV Show Reboots in the comments below, are they great or not great and why.

I wanted to take the time to make this announcement post and to give you guys heads up you will now hear a 15 - 30 spot before the intro roles as it normal does and the reason is the podcast is an affiliate and that is all I really want to say but this is a great opportunity and I am sure it will take some time before things pick up. However I can say on the Stitcher side of the platforms that the podcast is with well the views are up which is great and means it is starting to pick up. That isn't the only good thing as you probably noticed Castbox is back and yes I got it back up and it's gaining subscribers pretty quick which is incredible. Also I noticed this a few weeks back but Everything About Reality TV Podcast is also on IHeartRadio which a friend of mine said it is very hard to get on which is true but hey Everything About Reality TV got picked and I am forever grateful for this opportunity. Now back to the 15 - 30 spot, it is hard to explain but you will hear it 2 days from tonight what it is sounds like and I can say it is awesome to add a 15 - 30 second spot promoting Stitcher Premium that I can say. Hopefully that does help explain but like I said you will hear it 2 days from this evening as I will be add it in before the intro.
I am excited to be an affiliate with Stitcher and have the opportunity to promote their product. Going to Stitcher was the best thing I ever did for the podcast 3 years ago and I was there even when they were still growing as a platform and having issues but I stuck by them even when I took a break I still came back and their platform and staff have been nothing but great to me. This also includes TuneIn, ITunes, Player FM, Castbox and all the platforms my podcast as they have been amazing especially when I had a question or concern with my feed they would help me out with the problem so I am forever grateful for the help when I struggle with things. Either way it has been a very productive journey and it is now no secret as I said in the post 2 days ago that I have decided to continue or move forward with future seasons of the podcast. I cannot wait for you guys to hear this week's episode as I am changing things around and it will sound different for sure and a lot better this week then it has in the past!

Now it is obvious where I was now it is 48 hours now which equals 2 days ago technically but on the way back we went to the local grocery store which had warm food and when I say warm food I mean Pizza, whole chicken, some good stuff and reasonable prices too. So I grabbed Pizza, mainly Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza which had a nice hint of Oregano which we all know is a herb and tastes great in food. Anyways the first bite that I took and it was really fresh. It was also really super soft and very delicious as well and I really did enjoy it. My thought was just like my mom's homemade pizza that she makes from time to time which next time I eat pizza will probably be on my 34th Birthday this year. Now for the rating I would give it a 10 out of 10. It was really enjoyable and I would eat the Pizza again even if my dad and I even went there I would definitely have it again especially as it was really good.
However for the dessert, not as enjoyable as I was not happy with it whatsoever but I ate it. I found this chocolate and with some creamy stuff inside too sweet for my liking. Now yes I have a sweet tooth but that much of a sweet tooth honestly. Both Eric and I found it too sweet so it wasn't that great. Now if it didn't have the cream on top and just chocolate in the middle of the chocolate part that probably been fine but the way they had it and it is very hard to explain to you guys what I am talking about. I should of took a picture of all the food I had but I didn't. Either way I wasn't pleased with the result of the dessert so I probably, more then likely just like Eric not too happy with the dessert. However majority of the time I'd say there are tons of things that I do like and this dessert wasn't one of them on my list along with Sushi which is one I do not like whatsoever. Either way this dessert is getting a 1 out of 10 as I said I found it too sweet and that's OK, but I will give em a 5 out of 10 the way it was presented in the container and it did look good at the time but once I took a bite, I wasn't overly impressed. I hope you enjoyed this food review and I hope to have more like these again in the very nearby future.

Yesterday, I got inspired to do something that I thought I wouldn't do in the time since the announcement of Everything About Reality TV, you can tell something is up as now I have a poll on both the Facebook Fan Page and Twitter if you guys want to vote, YOUR VOTE counts to it returning! Yes You GUYS the fans been emailing up the wall about it returning I know majority of the platforms the podcast is no longer on half the platforms but one of the platforms that I never thought about being on is IHeartRadio which is amazing! I never thought my podcast would ever get on that platform and nor I never requested it! It just got picked up actually. I kind of been feeling this was going to happen where you guys were going to request it to come back after the 12th season so thank-you! You GUYS asked for it and it is coming! Season 13 is coming soon to a Computer or Device near you! Now the plan right now is to just finish this season first then decided whats next and right now there is no set schedule as of right now for the next season as the follow I do know and don't know:
Amazing Race 32- Could compete against Survivor 40 or it could be in May like it was last year but by New Year, we should know a ton more information.
Survivor 40- All Winners Season- No secret it is all past winners coming back to fight for the title once again and I am thrilled the podcast is back for another season especially to host Survivor 40 Recaps on the Podcast too! Date for this to start is Wednesday, February 12th, 2020 Which means recaps are back on Thursday February 13th, 2020 at 9 pm EST!
Big Brother Canada 8- No date as of yet and plus auditions just closed so the date we will find out end of January some time into February at the most when the show is on the air again for Season 8.
Either way I am excited to be continuing for this podcast despite whatever mixed feelings I am damn well having right now but this is what you guys wanted and I plan on continuing on despite I am feeling done still even with the burst of inspiration to continue I am doing this for you guys and I am happy it's continuing just kind of overwhelmed with fact I do not have any of the off season podcast ideas as I scrapped them and I should of kept them but I didn't so now I am paying the price for it and same with what I said before almost half are now off due to the fact I had em removed. Now I have requested it to re appear on Castbox and also Spotify but the ones you see on the Everything About Reality TV Podcast Page is the one will be available to you guys. Finally once this poll is finished on Saturday afternoon and we get closer to the finale I will be making an announcement via video to say it is officially back and hopefully I have some answers for when the new season begins and when I will start recording off season podcasts too down the road.

Well it is time for an update on games I am now playing and games I want to play which there is a few on my list now that is a must play at this moment. There was some that are or were on the list kind of now have been put on the wayside at this moment but I am sure I will one day down the road, re look at the games that I haven't gotten and probably break down and get one day. Anyways here is the list of games I am currently playing and I would like the play down the road:
Want To Play:
1) DayZ- A Zombie like game and I saw a streamer playing this game and I instantly fell in love with the game and love the idea of beating up zombies in the middle of the day time!
2) The Outerworlds- Pretty cool game, watching Rocky, Owner of Punk Rock Cheeseburger play this playthough and looking forward to it's release in 2020 on Steam.
3) The Sims 4- University Expansion Pack- Been waiting for this day to come for a very long time and I have discussed this with Larry and it is definitely on my list of video games to get especially in the New Year I want to put some money to the side and actually get this expansion pack and take the game to a whole new level!
4) Call of Duty 2- Played the first one and did try playing the second but seemed to get stuck at the start of the game and probably cause my aiming plain old stunk but now playing Warface which below you will see it mentioned below.
Playing Right Now:
1) WarFace- Still playing the game when I can but haven't loaded it up in about a week tonight so I am probably at Day 1 for rewards yet again so I will have to load it up and get the reward first thing tomorrow morning when I get a quick sec to do that.
2) The Sims 4- Always will be playing this game till I get bored but as I said I am looking into getting The University Expansion Pack in the New Year and it will go into a whole new level for the current households that I have up and running right now.
3) Dead Before Daylight- Love this game and getting the niche. I haven't had time to play it but I am going to have a ton of time between Late December and the time the new podcast which you guys do not know yet but details are coming very soon, sooner then you know it.
4) Life Is Strange- Playing the original and again this goes back to me having no time to play right now but I am enjoying it and I think I got every single episode so I need to make time to play.
5) The Binding of Isaac- Trying to finish up this game finally and it has been a very long wait to finish as I have been stuck at a certain spot in the game but I keep on trying and I have gotten far but so far but no success at completing challenges or with the different characters.
