I'm Impressed With The Growth and More!

              I admit sitting back and looking at the growth of the website it is just amazing to watch the site grow and grow and every month it seems to get more then the previous months so it is going up hill in views not down so that is definitely a good thing. However it is exciting to watch on a daily basis to see the viewership on a day to day basis and it truly does help too. Before when I was on the other provider for the web builder which I will not mention who as they kept suspending my site I wasn't getting as much in the way of views but since I switched to Blogger the website views have gone up and I can say I am getting closer to 60K  on this site and its been almost a year since I switched over entirely and I am really happy with the result. Another thing I found and really like about the site I have a bit more freedom and I have learned so much about code when it comes to the website too. Also I may as well point this out is the amount of change I have made to the website has probably a big factor in the growth of the website and you guys really have enjoyed the changes. I was thinking about the menu bar since back in the early spring of this year and I started the research stages but ever since it was released it has become quite a popular website.


               The website will continue on growing for years to come and I am sure the more people promote the website and the more I post up on social the better. Same with the posts. Honestly with the addition of Jeff L and Steven aka Corvette this website is definitely going to grow a lot more and that post will come January 1st, 2020 which will be my official yearly what is to come in 2020 and what not. Right now my team and I are working on the future planning of CBOTW and the chat being the new addition to the website is only the start which again tomorrow I will be talking about chat and how you guys can get involved with chatting on there and the basics behind the chat as I did forget to mention how you are able to chat here on the website outside of any of the social media platforms that CBOTW is on at this current time. In the end I am very impressed with the website growth and the podcast growth since I made some changes to the podcast itself so it have definitely made a difference over the last several days and I have noticed the growth with the podcast as well. I will continue to grow things and come 2020 it is going to be amazing I can tell you that and I cannot wait to tell you guys what is in-stored for 2020!

I Have Been Very Sneaky All Week!

             It is no secret that I have been holding back on stuff and I may as well say it in today's blog post that I have been hiding lately and been very sneaky and sneaking around with planning and what not I will say some things but other stuff I have to still remain quiet about it. Anyways this is what is in the works for CBOTW, Podcasts and so on! 


      - CBOTW Gamers Podcast: I can say this that this podcast isn't done yet as I have been given an offer and I have taken it and sometime in 2020, the podcast will rise once again from the cancellation shelf to being an active podcast once again. I can say it is an old friend of mine that will be taking it over officially.   

       - Punk Rock Cheeseburger: As I said in the social media posts there was a possibility for a double PRCB Podcast and it is happening and if you pay attention you will know when I am on the podcast as the Co-Host and yes the rumors are true I will be doing an "After Dark Gaming Session" With Rocky so that is very, very exciting as well!

       - Everything About Reality TV: As you know because of YOU GUYS the greatest fans in the world the podcast will see a 13th Season come February 2020 when we return from a very small break. Also starting January 2020 I will be doing auditions for the role of Host for the Big Brother Canada and Big Brother 22 Hosts and if worse comes to worse I will re-assume the role of host obviously but we will see how this goes.  Also I am exploring the option to do a Reality TV Recap of "Amazing Race Australia" if it returns for another series which is season for us then definitely will bring that onto the podcast. 


             Either way I am exploring new options for CBOTW and what I can do to keep things rolling but if Everything About Reality TV did end and I am not saying I'd threaten to cancel it as you guys would step in once again to say hey don't cancel it but I mean if it came down to very little in TV Shows I do have a back up plan in place but I just do not want to reveal everything. Now I do not want to reveal all my secrets but I want you guys to be surprised at times too but again I want to keep you guys in the loop on whats going on with CBOTW and even outside CBOTW as well.

Studio Renovations Update! [11-22-2019]

             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!

The Chatroom Has Returned On The Website!

                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!

Feel Like Some TV Shows Are Meant To Be Left As It Is....

            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.

Everything About Reality TV Updates! [11-19-2019]

           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!

Pizza and Dessert From Kitchen Place Food Review!

          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.

Inspired To Do Something That I Should of Kept Doing!

          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.

Games I Bought and Games I Want To Get in 2020!

             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.

Chris B On The Web Is Celebrating 5 Years Today!

             Chris B On The Web Turns 5 Today and I am so excited and estatic for it being 5 years and where has the time gone? Too fast in the way I think of it, things did change pretty quickly for me from my YouTube channel ending in 2016 to doing Reality TV podcasts for the past 4 + years to now starting something completely new and different. Change has been the name of the game over the last 5 years and half way things changed for the better good of this website and under the CBOTW Brand. I am proud of what this website, the blogs, the podcasts have become over the years and especially the podcast getting on nearly 20 different platforms over the course of time and I am looking forward to this being our 5th year in operation. With the changes as you know happening, the only 3 things that are staying the same is Punk Rock Cheeseburger Podcast and The Power Rangers Podcast which is already in pre-production for the upcoming next session in 2020. As I reflect on the past 5 years, I realize now what didn't work and what has worked and ever since the change over to podcasts, things on my social media have picked up with making connections with other podcasts and podcasters such as Rocky from Punk Rock Cheeseburger which help him especially get into the Podcasting game like I have and I think after 4 years I do have a ton of knowledge being a podcaster for this long now. Since the change over, I have learnt so much as a podcaster and so much about myself and I want to continue doing podcasts, even after Everything About Reality TV Podcast ends. 


            I never thought over the course of almost 2 years I would be switching from YouTube to what I am doing to this day and I honestly think I have worked extremely hard on CBOTW whether it was the YouTube aspect of things or wioth me being a podcaster, I know that I have definitely made a difference in all of your lives and I plan on continue to bring smiles in your everyday life.  I am glad this CBOTW has lasted as long as it did with the help of Justin & Larry over the course of the last 6 - 8 years with the two of them helping me grow as a content creator, whether they are building sets, camera work, co-host of a podcast they have made a difference especially after losing so many staff they helped me stay sane through the constant drama on the team and they were one of the ones that helped me through it all. Now I have the support of 3 of my former staff Justin, Larry & Eric who constantly support and help me through situations and tough decisions that I have to make. With saying that Here is to another 5 years and beyond and I am happy that I am the Founder and Owner of Chris B On The Web for the last 5 years and counting!

Working Long Hours, I Think I am Officially Sick 😳

           After working long hours in this studio of mine, I think I am Officially sick. However let's not jump to conclusions as of yet. I woke up this morning with a sore throat so that isn't good whatsoever. However life goes on and if I need to rest a lot more then I will however I will still be working on things but I have to remember that my health and wellness comes first always. I am going to start taking the Echinea pills to help me as I am suppose to be out of town in Toronto this weekend with a friend. I know this is the wrong time for me to get sick and it is my own fault as I should of wore my warmer coat with it being colder yesterday but again this could of been caught a week to 10 days ago and I have been dressing for the appropriate weather too. I guess it is just a bad luck of the draw and I know how to deal with it. I should of also been taking my vitamin pills as well. Right now I do feel fine right now as it is just a sore throat but yet again it could be nothing honestly just dryness, however never know, however I need to be aware of this and keep an good eye on it so this way I can deal with it quickly and what not. 


          However my health comes first and yesterday was about me resting and the reason the blog was on a stand still. Despite being sick and wanting to sleep all the time, I realize I need to try and get some work done which I need to keep up with Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue and it's not hard to do as all I am doing technically is watching the TV Show and taking notes right now. So I will try watch good amount rest for a while then continue on as that is my strategy with it honestly while I am sick and trying to recover from this and I do not think it will last too too long and it will be out of my system by next week at the most and I should be back to normal hopefully moving forward. However today I feel a bit better then yesterday so that is definitely a good thing to be happening as I feel stronger. I am in good spirits while sick and just gotta keep up the good positive spirits up while I deal with that. I plan to rest when I need to and that is probably the best thing to do especially at this moment.
