Riley's Montreal Ruben and Fries Food Review

           So yesterday you noticed I was very quiet on social media in the evening as I was at a Ontario Hockey League hockey game with my family to support my niece and nephew's hockey team. However before we went out for dinner at a pub which I have a history with them, not in a bad way but I went to play pool down there which is not far at all to walk where the high school I went to. This was before the renovations which now I really, really love it honestly the way they have it now compare to back then. So what did I eat at Riley's? Well honestly the choices behind it wasn't easy honestly. They were quite difficult to chose and I had several one being chicken sandwich of some sort to the Philly Cheesesteak which I never ever tried which honestly I should of tried, probably really enjoy it and it was either on bread or a wrap, I would of done a wrap honestly. However I went with something safe and I admit it was different from anything else. So I had a Montreal Ruben which is like Montreal Smoked Meat with cheese, probably Swiss cheese and fries. I think it was suppose to come with Pickle on the side but there were no pickle whatsoever but I will overlook that and not worry about it and it was fine honestly. Also had fries on the side. Sandwich was delicious and gooey but worth it in the end. Fries were not too over salty and I added on the Vinegar as I do not have Vinegar on my fries too but also were crispy and really good. Sandwich I would give a 10 out of 10, fries 10 out of 10.


              The service was a 10 out of 10 and really was great with us and we almost didn't get a seat as downstairs it was tough to sit 7 people but my sister law managed for us to get a seat upstairs as there was some seating upstairs. I will definitely be back in the very nearby future and definitely wanna try something different and never know I may revisit this on another blog post as I enjoy making these food reviews and you guys seem to enjoy them and whenever I am out somewhere especially new I tend to do a food review on here. Speaking of which February both Larry and I will be heading to Pop Eyes locally here so we're both excited and will be doing a food review so yes this means Larry will be active member of the blog here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com so I promised you guys I'd be doing a post and he will be probably right from here in the studio actually so be sure to stay tuned for that in the coming weeks.

Survivor Will Be On For 10 More Years?!

            My friend said that he's heard that Survivor which is one of the shows that is covered on Everything About Reality TV will be around for at least another 10 years?! I looked and nothing at all and honestly I need him to show me where he found this information but if this is true this is good news for the podcast for being around for many more years to come. Some how I just cannot find anything so something seems fishy but I will ask Eric he knows where to find the source of the article. However you know I would like to keep this podcast going for many more years to come and honestly as you know I have been feeling down a lot more last year worrying about the future of the podcast and what would I do afterwards but that is all figured out and not to worry about it till the time comes. Honestly this does make me happy to know the show is going to be around longer so this means the podcast will definitely around but again I just do not know what to expect if it will be back but for crying out loud we haven't even start Season 40 yet and we do not know if they will go beyond Season 40 years we just do not know! 


             It is all about the network if they want to renew it and also of course it is about the viewership if they are getting the views which they have been around the 8 - 10 million views as I did check so I can definitely see it coming back but I just do not want to get too ahead of ourselves right now. The thing we need focus on is Survivor: Winners At War, Big Brother Canada 8 and Amazing Race 32, followed by Big Brother 22 and Amazing Race Canada so we have to focus on now not later and him telling me this did get me excited and at the same time overwhelmed and anything gets me overwhelmed very easily but I will be keeping this in the back of my mind but I am currently focusing on the present and you never know this could happen as the show hasn't really gone dry yet and it's always exciting every single season and it really makes me think hey they are coming up with new and exciting ideas and definitely makes worth watching the show each week that it is. There is a bit of what I have heard but do not know if it's true and if you hear or find the article please put it in the comments below as I want to see something stating this.

Was Excited To Be Recording This Morning!

          This morning I took to recording 2 more episodes as I wanna start typing up the Power Rangers Podcast as time is definitely to work on it this weekend and will be taking the time and effort to get it done. I am currently got one day in the back of my mind right now to the Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast when we wanna record and trust me it isn't long from now and we are close to it. However that is not what this post is about, this post is about me recording again this morning which by the time you see this they will have been recorded and ready for the next phase which is the editing phase of this all. Either way we will have a podcast out the next two weeks on a Tuesday @ 9 pm EST but then we shift to Wednesday, February 5th, 2020 when we post up a week in advance to the premiere and sets the ton for our 13th season of the Podcast. Either way we are gearing up for this season and excited to have recorded this morning as we need to keep the ball rolling and that is honestly what we are doing. I know I had a good pace with the collaboration podcast but its again stopped but all I need to do is type. 


           I am looking forward to hearing what you guys have to say about the upcoming podcasts that are coming out and working on some new ideas constantly to add on to the list of Off Season stuff and things have been evolving constantly and we are not going off the air anytime soon and Yes I know I said that in the past to the point I was gonna cancel the podcast from any newer episodes but hey we're still here and were still on the air. Also Eric and Jasmine have given me ideas that I wanna do so I am planning on going with them this off season and we got a bunch of stuff planned in the next week or so and excited for you guys to hear it and let's just say one of em will include a revisit to a podcast I did a year ago. That is only a hint and you will see when the time is right you will hear it but were at least a week and a half away from it going up. Honestly it feels good to be back in the saddle so to speak and excited the fact I'm recording stuff again and hope you enjoy what is coming out in the weeks coming!

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.

Not Too Happy and Confused About The Sims 4 Discover University Expansion Pack!

              This game seems to get more and more complicated and this is what I am going to be talking about in today's post. Now yes I consider this a "Rant" post and honestly I haven't done one of these in ages! So it does feel good to be doing this post indeed. Anyways I do not know where to start honestly so here it goes:

1) Sims starting fires:   Makes no sense I turn my back for one second and the damn Sims 4 house is on fire and the death of one or more. After all the hard work I put into the file all hell breaks loose but those are the breaks I guess.

2) Drowning of Sims: I was watching the back of the house and the poor kids drowned so easily and not sure why this is happening and starting to think this video game is just glitched all together.

3) Sims University: This is a big one for the list which is when applying to University you can only do it via  a computer and on The Sims 3, you can do it via phone too if I remember correctly. The next point I would like to make is the fact that it takes a long time for them to accept a sim into university and you also have to have the skills for certain scholarships which I don't have with one of my Sims, Katherine. However I am sure Larry will be able to help me with the game one way or another but I got her into university but failed at a step so I might have to retrace my steps again.


              Either way, I have having a hard time with the game but I am sure I will figure it out eventually. I just got this game and it is a learning curve for me still and like I said Larry is the expert at these games compare to I am. Anyways this expansion pack comes a ton more fun for me and also the game and when I get time which will be very soon I am sure it will be soon but I will have the opportunity to play a bit and this Sunday is definitely going to be a prime example as Larry is coming over. Now to replace the Sims who have passed, I probably will replace them with a new set of sims down the road but I am currently running 11 households so I sure as heck have a lot on my plate still. Hope you enjoyed my ramble or rant and I think Steven is posting or has posted up something this morning or this afternoon recapping Gordon Ramsey's 24 Hours To Hell and Back.

Last Few Days Hasn't Been Easy!

             Yesterday and today, hasn't been easy for me, from dealing with drama which I certainly do not need the extra stress on me to this morning working most of the night and fixing the feed for the podcast I have seen it all. All I was doing was getting a drink when some drama which I will not talk about but the day I had 16,100 + steps as well which is probably one of my all time bests since getting the fitbit. Anyways that was not the only thing that went on was seeing my ex staff in long time. On top of that bus driver being miserable and trust me I had some comments I made and of course Eric, being Eric laughing at my remarks I was making and this year I have noticed I am or have become more of a clown in person and I have noticed even despite the moods been up and down so far this year I still seem to make remarks and I seem to be more sarcastic at times as well. Yesterday I wasn't having it and maybe I just gotta get back into the swing of things with being out and about as over the holidays I was at home most of the time and rarely got out and about minus walks around in my area.


               Now this morning, well one of the episodes had the new intro that I changed in September but I wanted to make sure it was back to before the 12th season of the podcast with my voice. It wouldn't let me change so I had to re-upload the last 3 episodes on the feed which by the time you see this post it should be updated and up to date. Speaking of up to date or updates; we're getting further in the Everything About Reality TV Page and yesterday or the day before that, we ran into issues with the code on the page so I started to tinker with it change the code around and I figured out and now we are on a good pace at this point and hope to get it done by the weekend hence the off schedule of posts recently where I go very quiet on Social well between 6 pm and Midnight EST, I am more then likely in bed early and up during the night so you can see the pattern of my sleeping habits right now are different and hopefully soon I will get back to a normal pattern but that may not be for a few weeks now as there is a ton of work to be done. Today may have been a rocky start but it will pick up I am sure.

Games I Wanna Get Most Definitely!

               Today, I am getting myself The Sims 4: University expansion and I was waiting honestly but with the recent sale going on with Origin, I am getting the gift card today for Origin and I left early today before meeting Eric today for the first time in 2020 since before Christmas holidays. I am honestly excited to get this since finding out that they have come out with this version of the game since The Sims 3 and honestly I was really hoping that they would do a version of this game and I am going to try and play a bit of it later on in the evening before bed and excited to send the kids on the Sims 4 to University but maybe even my sim should. However I need to re do majority of the households I am currently and there will be a ton of fires or what I will probably end up doing is erasing all the households that I made and start over from the start again but again I haven't been on the game in quite some time since I have been busy working on things for the website right now and trust me when all is said and done, I do plan on playing a bit once some of the podcasts are done for off season and I have officially started typing up the Power Rangers Podcast but right now things are a bit busy but I am sure Sunday, when Larry is here we will be playing it a ton as he will be excited I got the expansion Pack.


                 This is probably the best time to get the game as I said it is currently on sale but I may just  saved over 60 bucks for a video game which is good and I am glad it was on sale and came at the right time when I wanted to get the game. I always wait to see if there is a very special price I will definitely look into getting it. Also I may as well say this as well, I am looking into getting NHL 12 for the PC so I can play with my niece and/or Nephew but I looked at it and Amazon and it costs almost 140 bucks Canadian, however, I looked further and I messaged a gaming store locally see if they had it and the price so I hope I will be in luck and when you are reading this I haven't gotten a new message yet and hopefully I will by the late afternoon but again these posts are done early mornings or ahead of time depending on our schedule. Anyways these are the games I wanna get and in time I will definitely have both of the games but for right now I am primarily focusing on The Sims 4 at the moment.
