Studio Update for 01-13-2020

            This is probably a massive update to CBOTW Studios & HQ. The walls are now complete with being put up and painted entirely. The next stage is to get the ceiling finished and covered with tiles and also the entire carpet removed as there are stains some of them thanks to my stupidity recently and let's say looks like a blood stain but it isn't just sauce I used for my burgers the other night but it doesn't matter the fate of the carpet is pretty much sealed and we are removing the old carpet is going. However today, we will be working on repairing my desk today so that is the primary goal and I am going to try and place things if possible but will not be moving back to the desk until it is actually painted on the top right now. I plan on painting the desktop so could be waiting a few more days but we need to get the trim in before anything goes back so we have to wait for that to be also be painted as well.. Also any trim that is going to be covering the wire where the WIFI is going to be so we also have that to be finished so next week at sometime I probably will be back in my old spot but again we will see what next week brings too but aiming to get things back to normal by the end of next week at the most. I was going to put up sound proofing but not sure right now but I think I will do it as I got ideas brewing in my head.


              There is the update and were getting sooo close to being finished and excited to make use of the fab space and will be so much better then we had before and yes since I do not use the green screen anymore the other side of the curtain will be facing the desktop side of things with the Green screen facing the doorway. Yes the lights I will be using as it to brighten up the space for the podcasts especially so I will still be using that for the space. I may not be broadcasting anymore but the equipment in the studio I will be using one way or another and I am planning to use the foot clicker to turn the lights on and off but will need another one when I setup Christmas lights and such a sort but that is down the road and I know Walmart will have them and that will be on the bucket light for Late Fall 2020 when Larry and I decorate the place and my parents are giving me lights which I can really deck out the place for Christmas 2020 but again that is 11 months from now so I am not going to worry about it but we will setup majority of it then we can make changes if we need to. Either way we're getting excited for the return to the space and getting things back to normal around here. Yes a formal announcement regarding a podcast is coming soon too.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Review (With Spoilers)

         Now that it has been a few weeks since the Rise of Skywalker came out, I think it is time for me to write a spoiler version of Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker. Now if you haven't seen the movie, please do not read further as this post does contain spoilers.  You cannot say I warned you guys on this because I did. Anyways to the post:


          As you know I did do a non spoiler version of the post but this contains things from the movie. There is a few neat things I wanna talk about and the first one is the voice of Vader popped up there when you heard the voice of the Emperor you also hear the voice of Darth Vader which is voiced by the one and only James Earl Jones. Also an appearance of Harrison Ford as Han Solo which my thoughts was how can get come back? But he could of been one with the force or something like that. Also the bickering between Threepio and R2-D2 that brought back a ton of nostalgia in the original movies and nothing wrong with that whatsoever. Also I may as say this as well when they started playing the "Imperial March" I had that chill down my spine as it honestly brought back a ton of memories from the original trilogy not the prequels but Episode 4, 5 & 6 that is from 1977 up to 1983. I still to this day question how on earth the Emperor came back as he fell down that shaft and surprised but what I found out is he created a wormhole to Hexigal where he hiding. Also the machine he was hooked up was used to keep his form together. If he wasn't hooked up to that machine he'd disintegrate to nothing. Now the way the Princess was written out of the series was obviously she died in the movie sorry but this is indeed a spoiler post today. Now the whole Chewbacca dying in the shuttle I was like heck no this isn't happening especially later on Leia passes away that would be 2 but do not forget Kylo also dies so that would of made 3 in total but was only 2 as Chewie was fine and honestly I am a big Chewbacca fan to be honest.


            So the movie as I said in my original post that I did still has a 10 out of 10 and was worth almost 3 hours worth of a movie as people said it was almost an 3 hour movie which that's OK as I enjoyed every moment of the movie. Now the end of the movie with Rey burying the two lightsabres, one being Princess Leia's light saber which I didn't realize she had one which I am sure there is more to that story and maybe something they can do is a side thing between Episode 6 and 7 they could definitely do something but again it would of been difficult as Carrie Fisher has passed away and Mark Hamill is now older so that can be a bit more difficult but with CGI anything is possible. However back to what I was saying that Rey took something out in a cloth which was a new lightsaber which I think she probably built at some point. Either way that is my spoiler post, I hope you enjoyed me bantering on about the movie and this probably was more interesting then the non spoiler post. I will see you guys in the next post tomorrow!

Everything About Reality TV Updates!

             I do have some updates with the Podcast; First thing I would like to say the links page here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com have been updated as you know we were working on the players on the site so you could listen in but that proved to lag the heck out of the website however that could of my PC lagging but I do not want people having a laggy website so I have decided to go back to the links list which has proved to work here on the site so you can pick where you wanna go to tune into the podcast. I wasted the time when I could of been recording episodes for the 14th and also I could of been typing up the notes for Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast which will be needing to be recorded soon as we are going to be recorded. So there was time well wasted and it is nothing but my fault when I should of tested it as I went on and if I seen the fact that it was lagging I would of stopped sooner and could of been working on other things like the ones I mentioned above, I could of been working on it sooner but nooooo. I messed up and I admit it entirely... I fess up my mistake and now I gotta work extra hard.  I know the schedule with this studio reno but I will have more information later on that but that also makes things difficult to get things done but been trying hard lately.


            Now schedule wise I do know the next 3 - 4 weeks schedule for the podcast and what is planned for the next 3 - 4 weeks so here is what is going to go on schedule wise for the podcast:

Tuesday, January 14th, 2020 (Tomorrow): 9 pm EST: Amazing Race Back To Basics Podcast

Tuesday, January 21st, 2020: 9 pm EST: Survivor All-Stars 2 Podcast

Tuesday, January 28th, 2020: 9 pm EST: Big Brother Canada Related Podcast (Topic within the podcast to be determined)

Wednesday, February 5th, 2020: 9 pm EST: (Season 13 Starts) Survivor Winners At War Preview Podcast

Thursday, February 13th, 2020: 9 pm EST: Survivor Winners At War RECAP (Starts)

           
             One last little side note to put in this, I have been looking up Big Brother Canada so looks like a possibility of a March 4th so which means February 29th Jasmine will have a Preview Podcast will be out to you guys, however this isn't an official announcement from Big Brother Canada themselves so this is just speculation that we could see a March 4th premiere. Announcement will come once we know exactly, I will make the official podcast post for the podcast.

Another Studio Update [01-12-2020]

             So it is time for an update on the studio. I have been posting updates and you need to hear it from word of mouth from moi! So as you know we have 3 panels left but as you see on the right hand side that all 3 panels have been put in and I helped a tad on the first of the 3 but I was busy the last day of putting up the wall my dad finished it without my help and he ensured that he was fine without me and if he wasn't OK with it I most certainly would of cancelled my errands to help him out to finish this out. We actually got this finished before the New Year which we were only planning to finish it in the New Year so we got ahead of schedule and since January 1st we have definitely been full speed ahead since and you will see in the second part of this post today. Yes I realize my chair is in the way and during this construction I ended up having to replaced wheels on my chair cause they broke as the wheels got jammed so those got replaced. Anyways that is definitely besides the point but you can see that we moved things about and I will address one more thing towards the end of this post today.

             The second picture to the left is a picture of the walls primed with the primer and now awaits the actual coat of paint which will be happening today as you guys see and read this post, we will be working on painting and when I wrote this I noticed the wall theres a line so something isn't right and we may end up on a small road block as some of it wasn't sanded properly and there is a bump in it so I will or have told my mom on that issue. Anyways it will be all fine in the end I am just picky person I guess. Once the painting is done probably the ceiling above the space where I am going to be recording will be finishing up the ceiling then we will be removing the carpet in the room entirely with the bare floor and I will be getting a area rug at Walmart so we won't have cold feet recording. Once that is done I am going to start placing things around the room and I am probably going to move the desk to the corner even without it's top which is now off as you can see which needs repairs which my Uncle and I are going to be working that once the ceiling and rug is removed and we have things a lot more organized which Larry and I will move my stuff upstairs on Thursday and pack up my dad's records as I already destroyed one or two records so it is better safe in a box which I told him to originally but it was stuffed behind my desk but again I think I will ask for an hour of Larry's time to pack up and move things about and I am sure he won't mind hes been helping when I need it with packing up or moving things around and he did help move the ailing desk that is sitting here no top which is a throwback Thursday Story for this week. Anyways that is my update and I know it's long but hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you in the next post.

Google Adsense-- Not Pleased Whatsoever...

             I originally had planned an update on the studio and honestly I am not happy one blasted bit with Google. As you know I have ads on my website which I will address the future of that later on in today's blog post. Anyways the ads is with Adsense obviously and it was a mistake to sign up with them. However at least I know we did earn a bit but nothing that we were able to pocket but least we know we were earning stuff with Adsense. Now we are only able to earn money with the podcast currently due to the fact we are affiliate with one of the platforms. So were back to being tight on money but still able to earn some kind of revenue with CBOTW, the podcast just not the website itself right now as of effective this afternoon I have deleted our adsense account and moving on from that as I fixed the issue twice and still have the same issue despite I fixed it so I am done with Google all together minus this site.


              What do I mean by this, obviously am not part of the Google Adsense and honestly moving forward we are looking into other options that we can do but as for Adsense we are no longer with them moving forward with the rest. Do not forget like I said I an affiliate with one of the platforms so there is that. As you guys know that.... actually you didn't know about this but we have renewed the domain for this site for another 4 years so I am ensuring you guys were are not going anywhere with this website, it is here to stay and I do not plan on closing down shop anytime soon. This is just a minor setback and this opens the doors for new and exciting opportunities for us and we are definitely excited for what is to come next for us as there is stuff I haven't spoken about yet until I know further but soon something will be added to the list but that is for later on for us to tell you guys what is on tap. Everything seem to go wrong this weekend from all of this happening to me with the site and some other stuff to the weather not cooperating to a point I had to cancel on Larry due to the incline of weather aka Freezing rain so him and I had to cancel till Thursday when we are meeting up. So tomorrow I hope to have an update on the studio from the filling in screw holes to the primer on the wall units unless something else I need to complain or mention let's hope nothing else happens but we gotta remain positive as there is a ton of positive things going on for us currently.

Everything About Reality TV Page Work Gone Wrong! [What's The Plan Now?]

               As you guys know, I have been working on putting episodes on the website which is a ton of work honestly. However in the end the website page just lagged the heck out of my browser and I think it just overloaded it. So this morning I spent hours removing the episodes from the website and we have went back to the links which I think is better as you can choose what link you wanna listen from and this way it is not bogging down the website at all either and I think this is the better of the decisions. I honestly can say this was one of the stupidest ideas I had this year and I could of kept it as it is and been working on the Off Season stuff for the podcast which is coming out next week so I have wasted a very valuable time with my time and honestly I could of been typing up Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue which has been on standby recently and I need to get back to this as we're gunning hard for a February 2020 recording session for both Larry and I. Which I will have an update for you guys on the studio itself and hopefully there will be two within a  few or several days apart. Anyways back to the podcast the links are the best and it doesn't lag the entire site and actually loads a lot quicker.


             Anyways, I apologize why the page has been down for such a very long time now but it is accessible by going to https://www.chrisbontheweb.com/p/everything-about-reality-tv.html and it has every all 14 links and that is right 2 of the links, Podtail and Podchaser has once again picked us back up with the podcast which is so awesome to hear! I am proud to be getting the podcast back on some of the platforms that the podcast was on despite that we were on our way out the door and I am just happy that we are now staying on the Airwaves and aiming towards 300 episodes and the 5th Year on the air. We are trying new things but in the end it is an trial and error and we made a honest mistake and all we can do is learn from our mistake and move forward. One note that tomorrow I will be recording 3 podcasts, 2 Off Season Podcasts and the Survivor: Winners At War Preview Podcast. So the page is running and if you guys see any issues please use the contact page to contact us or even try and contact us through FB, Twitter or Instagram if you find an issue. We appreciate you feedback at all times and we improve things as we see fits. I will see you in tomorrow's blog post.

What Is Different This Year For Podcasts on Everything About Reality TV Podcast

              Well as you know this year being a new decade and all and being the roaring 20's once again but 2020 technically comes change to Everything About Reality TV Podcast and I am not just talking about the expansion of the team for the podcast which I have been working out on for the past year. That is right, I am been ironing out details for an entire year so there has been a ton of thought process that came into 2020 many months before Jan 1st, 2020 hit and here are the things that are different that I haven't mentioned before:

1) Celebrity Big Brother USA Season 3: No plans at this current time as we know Julie's contract is just for Big Brother US Season 22 which we know Jasmine will be covering both Canada and the USA seasons this year so this is now off our schedule for this year but they said it could not be done but we do not know what CBS has in-stored for us.

2) Music City CMT Season 3: Absolutely no news on a 3rd season at this moment and I am not sure if there is plans for a 3rd season or not so there isn't any news of confirmation so right now this is the second of 2 of the shows not put into the podcasts

3) Me Stepping Down From Big Brother Canada/Big Brother USA Recaps: Like I said before above, I stepped down to bring in Jasmine who is taking over for me which is amazing to have them part of the team. However I will still be recapping 3 of the 5 shows currently on the podcast, Survivor, Amazing Race and Amazing Race Canada.


                I am hoping to cover some other shows such as and I will be covering for the very first time Amazing Race Australia which will be right out there in shows. What I have been looking up it sounds like a fall premiere so I will be covering 3 Amazing Races unless Amazing Race US returns in the fall then the answer will be different but they said mid season for the US version so sometime in the next few months there will be a new season and it is the matter of time when it will be announced but again I only have Survivor as I said above. This year is about taking this podcast to the next level and that is exactly what we are doing with the podcast and I am honestly excited for it too and what this year brings for the 3 of us on the podcast.
