The CBOTW Show is Cancelled For Good...

            I really have some bad news and this wasn't the post that I was suppose to do technically but this comes first before the other post that I want to do tomorrow and the plan for the weight loss isn't happening right now as so much has happened. Anyways the bad news is that I have cancelled The CBOTW Show due to some things that has gone on behind the scenes which I will talk about publicly as it is a private matter. However you guys deserve the truth why no 24 Hours to Hell and Back Recap yesterday and what about the Power Rangers Podcast future? I will get into all those details in this post. The podcast itself is retired all together and it will never come back. I am making it clear to you guys that it is done and Everything About Reality TV Podcast is my main concern right now and not planning to work on anything else. Now Power Rangers Podcast as you know we are currently without a home so this brings back the idea of the collaboration podcast... Which we all know worked and less stress on us and me especially. So we will be bringing it back and the collaboration page will be popping back in the coming days but right now the blog and Everything About Reality TV have my attention right now as they need to be kept up to speed on. 


              Either way I should of not brought it back and should of stuck to the Collaboration Podcast as it has worked for us before and it will work despite the small lag of seeing the views on the website but hey this weekend were gonna make it up for you guys one way or another this weekend and make things right again. I think I very much happy with the Staff I have right now, Billy, Jasmine and Larry, so basically the 4 of us, I know this is definitely a solid 4 core group and I think this is what I wanna do is stick to this core group moving forward and try and grow from there. Yes this is bad news that one podcast is done and already gone ahead and cancelled the feeds across and thankfully we're not on very many platforms at the moment so this is good and not much work to do actually. In the end, I want to focus primarily on Everything About Reality TV Podcast and the collaboration, nothing else at the moment, taking one project at a time not a pile but yes I did hint something with Billy down the road but that will be for him and I to announce in the very nearby future.

Moving Back To The Corner for My Studio (Throwback Thursday Story)

                So it has been a little over a week, about a week and a half now that I have been back in my space in the corner which mind you its been weird feeling for the past week in the space being surrounded by the 2 boom arms and mics again and just an different setup overall I am just not use to it honestly. It does have that cosey feel to  it and love it. Since moving back, I have been tweaking the mics and setting things up. I actually twist tied the mic wired together, so I do not have all this wired slack behind the desk. Actually it was Tuesday when I moved everything back, I had to get the desk down first as that was the first priority was the rug which is 6 x 8 or 6 x 10 but its pretty good size really and it covers up the side desk along with the drawers too so it covers up a good size. Then we put in the size desk to the side then followed by the main desk which had to be lifted over the rug then setup my new drawers and go through all my stuff and put it in there, paper, Christmas lights, microphone stuff, etc. Finally I put up the 2 stackables that is taped so it wouldn't move.


              That is besides the point really and this throwback Thursday story has really derailed itself. Either way I am really enjoying being in the studio and now I can enjoy the studio and utilize it since it has been done in my area and actually sit down and record podcasts with my team or even alumni for example and this weekend, I will be sitting down with Larry to record a podcast for The CBOTW Show as we are very much overdue to record a Power Rangers Podcast. Honestly I have said it once and I will say again it is long coming for us to start recording and it has been a long wait, 8 months to be exact and it is about time that we get back to normal around here. However with the setup complete minus the ceiling and shelves, but I can still record and what not one way or another. So next week I will have an announcement when the next one is out and released to the feeds.

Been Taking It Easy This Week!

             As you guys have noticed, I have been taking it easy recently and as you know I have been busy with working on the Power Rangers Podcast a lot, long day and overnight shifts of finishing up the notes for this weekend. Honestly I can into so much details that we were planning on recording the weekend of the Super Bowl but I was still on the other desk at the time. However it is done as you know and this week, I have done absolutely nothing at all minus the blog posts every morning for Noon Eastern and the podcast which is out tomorrow evening 9 pm EST and posting up Steven's podcast at 6 pm EST but besides that I am just doing nothing at all. I have been playing ton of video games, The Sims 4 fooling about with the files I have made, watching the Sims get suspended from University which is a different story for another day. Anyways I have also been working on a project on Minecraft building my own version of the Big Brother Canada House and it is work in progress as I am even building the actual house in a studio warehouse too so it is a massive building and will take me a long time to build but right now I have the time to work on it as I do not start working on Time Force until next week so right now I can enjoy the time off and enjoy my fruits of my labor? Maybe that makes absolutely no sense really and I am pre-writing this before as by the time you guys see this, I am on the road to Eric's for the night as I am watching the Survivor Premiere at his place.


                I have done a bit of work around the site but nothing else from fixing the schedule page to the email system that we use, we have had a couple of issues from our end as we kept on getting locked out of the email, so we have switched from Yahoo to Outlook to now Gmail which Gmail will work a ton better so I have made the switches and updated the addresses and if you have an issue please do not hesitate to contact us about this as we do have a team now and always active answering your questions and concerns or technical issues about it. Either way if it isn't me that answers, it will be one of my staff on Facebook or E-Mail while I am away for the next 24 hours before I get back home to record the podcast. Podcast will be the number 1 priority when I get back then I can do whatever I want really want.

Why Did The Collab Podcast Page Went Away?

               As you know the collaboration podcast went away recently and there is a reason as an idea came to me, yes an idea to me and with Steven and I doing that one collaboration which is now part of The CBOTW Show Podcast that is where this idea came to me putting Steven as the Exec Producer as he is going to be running things for the most part and I trust him enough. As you know hes covering Masterchef, Masterchef Junior, Gordon Ramsey's 24 Hours To Hell and Back and Hell's Kitchen and of course the addition of Power Rangers Podcast in the mix, that is one of the reasons I decided to do this endeavor and I think it is a great idea and never know this could be something that I could be doing for many years now, new shows and old even if Everything About Reality TV Podcast stops at anytime, I certainly have something to fall back on and honestly just doing collabs here and there it won't be much to do in the long run and it would be pretty quiet so this is definitely opportunity not just knocking but banging the door right down and I cannot take away this opportunity. So if you understand where I am coming from with this post, this sets things up for me for the future. 


                So I did all of this for a certain reason but mind you nothing is changing, Power Rangers Podcast is here to stay and we got ton of content on that podcast. One other thing I had some technical issues with the player catching the views as it updates every 7 - 10 days which it never did before and honestly people wasn't listening in honestly so this is where this entire idea for The CBOTW Show came into play. Honestly I think the more platforms that we are on the better we get more listens and fans all together. I have so many more opportunities with the podcasts being on one dedicated feed and I honestly think Steven can do this running the podcast as the Exec Producer as I cannot run two of them so that is why he is named the Executive Producer with me still named as the Founder as I Originally started this podcast 2 years ago almost. I think in the end this is the right decision to make and I am just happier with the plan moving forward and hope this explains a bit why I made this move and I kind of figured Everything About Reality TV won't be around forever as shows will end at some point but yes new shows will come out but least this brand new idea, I have options now and that is what matters.

Contact Page Has Been Updated!

           The contact page on the website here has indeed been updated. It was time for a long overhaul of the page. Now I used tables which you cannot see the lines due to the theme of the website at the moment but the tables are what I believe invisible as you cannot see em but gives it that cool effect and honestly it does a heck of a lot for the site too as it gives me the opportunity to goof around with the way the site looks and I honestly really cool and if you haven't seen it I did put a screenshot on the right hand side but you can check it out on https://www.chrisbontheweb.com/p/contact.html especially if you have to contact one of the podcasts. Honestly you can see that there is 3 sections that we have broken down the contact page into 3 different things:

Website and Blog: Main contact for the website or blog. Mainly I will be the one that answers that email as I am the Administrator to the website and run everything.

Everything About Reality TV Podcast: To Answer any questions related to the podcast and if you want to come on as a guest especially this season as we are about giving back to the fans but will get into that later on in the week about this. The ones that mainly will answer this is myself and Jasmine who is a producer on the podcast. I think I will get Jasmine to answer the emails for the most part but if they can't then I will be the one to answer it.

The CBOTW Show: The newest of the podcasts on our list; as you guys know, myself and Larry and not involved too much right now as Everything About Reality TV Podcast, so this will be to answer any questions, or concerns towards this podcast. The main person and I will be around if he needs he help that is Steven will be the main one to answer any emails about the podcast.


               So with saying that, the contact page is updated and excited were a team once again and any comments or concerns you can direct it to me or leave a comment but there is one other project that is planning to start but once I have confirmation then I will be adding them to the list for contacts as well. Again got any questions for us do not hesitate to get in touch as we would love to hear from you guys!

Power Rangers Podcast Ready To Go!

             Due to Chris being unavailable today for unforseen circumstances, I am going to write the post for him as he has quite the team here at CBOTW HQ and around the world too as well. As of yesterday morning, he has officially completed the notes and boy I tell you it is a doosey. I can say he's written 44 pages of notes but Chris and Larry have done that before and I am sure when it comes to the guys recording a week today, they will give you a good long good old podcast. They are known for that and enjoy the longer episodes that they record for you guys. So Larry and Chris are going to be meeting up early in the AM, not like 7 or 8 am but little after 9 am over at his end and going to get going on recording bright and early. The one thing Chris has mentioned to us and the entire team behind Chris B On The Web is minus Larry who doesn't know about this yet but will in time and that is the podcast is under The CBOTW Show after a 2 Year Hiatus from the podcast being active and operating. Chris will be talking to Larry this week about it and that he has placed the podcast under that. However he will explain on Wednesday why the Collab Page went away on the Wednesday post. 


                The Podcast is a little less then a week away and we're all excited to show you guys what we have been working on in the past several months and on behalf we give our apologies for the lateness of this podcast and as he has said in the past the two of them are planning to bring out 4 more episodes with a total of 6 this year and if all goes well, never know the two boys may do more episodes per year but they try and keep to the twice a year thing if possible. I know Chris is not scheduled to start the next phase which is Power Rangers Time Force and Power Rangers Wild Force this week as he is taking time for himself as he has worked hours and hours night and day on the notes and he is probably the most dedicated person with that podcast ever, both of them are.

The CBOTW Show Is Back After a 2 Year Hiatus!

                 It has been nearly 2 Years since The CBOTW Show has gone off the air abruptly and after this long hiatus, the podcast is officially is back! It will be a new feed and new start to it however I am currently having issues with the account on Apple so I have to somehow fix that issue tomorrow or Monday at some point when I get a chance. So the podcast now compare to before where we had Last Man Standing, Music City CMT (Which can be found on Everything About Reality TV) and Power Rangers Podcast. However there is one of those that I have listed that is guaranteed to come back however we are adding onto the podcast and here is what you can see on the podcast this year (2020):

Chris (Myself) and Larry:

- Power Rangers Podcast: It'll continue on the Podcast as it did originally when we first started this journey almost 2 years ago and we are proud it is returning to the podcast where it began it's journey.

Steven:

- Gordon Ramsey's 24 Hours To Hell and Back

- Masterchef

- Masterchef Junior

- Hell's Kitchen


                     There is the list of and as you guys can see Steven is the main person behind this podcast, he has majority of Executive Producer role then I do. I think I am more just a producer at this point as I play a low key part of the podcast but Steven is the man to come to when it comes to the first contact for the podcast and I will be sure to forward the message to him if you guys got a question for the podcast. I did have a thought about having separate emails and that is what we are going to plan on doing moving forward but announcement to come this week for you guys.

Power Rangers Podcast Is Returning!

               So this is the official announcement for the Power Rangers Podcast which isn't a collaboration podcast anymore and I will get into details about this on Saturday's blog post when I make an official announce for you guys which is Huge News for you guys! Anyways as you know rumors and speculations for weeks that we are indeed close to coming back and yes I have been working long hours to getting the notes done and i can say officially that I am at the tail end of the podcast notes which means a week Sunday, Larry and I will be back together recording the 2 podcasts finally. Also note that when I was at the other desk It was not set for 2 boom arms as I have said in the past posts but now that the setup is very much done and ready and all we really have to do from here on our is to actually finish the notes and get it done. I should be done by the end of the weekend at the most, hoping by the end of the week. After that I will be taking a week off from preparing Power Rangers Time Force and also Power Rangers Wild Force seasons which I plan to actually get going on these for June as time will be indeed ticking.


                Larry doesn't know about this news yet as I haven't spoken to him since Sunday and he has not been online lately due to personal obligations which is fine and gives me time to finish things up and print them off and get them into the folder and ready to go for a week Sunday. I know in the end I will deserve a break from the Power Rangers Podcast once I am done as after a week Sunday I will end up in the editing process of the Podcast and hopefully have something up for you guys end of that week honestly so you have something to listen to. I want to also remind you guys that Larry and I will be doing 3 recording sessions this year so there will be a ton of content for you guys this year and excited to be bringing 3 of them out this year. Also that we are catching up on things from last year still as we did not record a second set of 2 seasons so we are catching up but come June we will be back on the right track again and raring to go for another one come June and October.

Studio Updates for 01-05-2020

              I have some updates for you guys... I know its been several days, maybe a week or so now. However as you can see in the picture to the right of what I am typing yes, I am back at my studio desk, the one that has been restored with a new top to it which was easy to replace honestly. However trust me it is a heavy desk now. Now I have been back at my desk since Sunday night when I didn't have any of this setup no boom arms, side desk new stackables which I will get to momentarily and the final setup stages of the setup to the studio. So it stayed like this for a couple of days honestly and I was at what you see on the right hand side with just the monitors and there was absolutely no boom arms nothing! Just the bare bones of the desk.

Now I did move the desk to the corner as I was planning to and honestly my plan setting it back up was to be simple, have a simple setup. that is what I did there. Now in the picture you see to the left has no boom arms and yes I will get to that in a short bit. Mind you I had to go out to the Eye Doctor to get my lens ordered for my frames so I didn't have time to get to set it up so, like I said I will get to it. You can kind of imagine the process of it but big thanks to my dad for the help on the setup as he helped me setup the carpet desk and what not and honestly I kept on moving things and tweaking for hours on end but I think I am definitely happy with the setup as it is now and no regrets on my own setup.

           Finally in the 3rd and final picture is the final setup of the desk area which has the new stackables which is a ton better then what I had before which holds a lot more then it did before. Also you can see the side desk is once again back in play again and being used  again. Obviously the boom arms are setup but at this moment untested right now so I have to still do that at some point in the next week and a half as I have a podcast to record with Larry as we're only a week and a half from that which I will be addressing that on tomorrow's post. Finally I want to say the dresser yes needs the 3rd drawer put back as right now it is a broken drawer at the moment but in time I will get that repaired and fixed at some point soon. I hope you guys enjoyed this update on the studio and there is still the ceiling to finish and also putting up the shelving and unpacking stuff that is still to come but in time we will be all setup eventually. Not sure what the plan is with the curtain or the green screen is but we will see. Sorry for such a long post but I will talk to you guys tomorrow!

Everything About Reality TV Podcast Is Growing!

             Obviously I have spoken about why I refuse to create content but I want to re-iterate it to you guys why. It is getting to the 4 year mark since I retired from YouTube. Now yes I have tried numerous times to return to bring the Podcast back but failed time and time again and honestly it will just not work out. Honestly there are reasons why such as the views will be suppressed and not too many ppl will find the channel, Ad revenue not being so great and so forth. Also being a new channel it will be a tough uphill battle especially with the advertiser friendly content so it will most definitely tough. The other thing is we have become quite a household name on Audio ONLY lately and I am talking 18 different platforms at the moment as of right now that is how many platforms. This is why I am very skeptical of going back to video and I honestly am happy with the platforms it is on right now and it always growing and even newer platforms that I have never heard about it seems to show up. I think it is clear obviously that I am, sorry we're happy on the platforms that we are on right now and that is what really matters right now is that we're happy where we are on right now. 


              So I think it is very clear that the podcast is meant to be on Audio ONLY and that is what we are going to do. Honestly going back to YouTube at this point I think it is not nor ever going to happen and even with a new podcast in the future or any other content of any sort it will not happen. YouTube has been dead for a while now and with everything that has happened to that platform it's sad honestly. Yes I realize I do watch videos but cannot comment on videos or reply to people as technically I do not have a channel but cant subscribe and like videos etc, etc. So I guess I am an invisible subscriber? Not sure honestly and not sure why but I'm rambling again. Anyways the point is the podcast is growing and that is what matters and all we can really do is keep on growing from here on out and watch it grow more and more as we continue on with the podcast as we are on the move to our 5th Year on the podcast. That are my thoughts on things right now and I am nothing but very happy with the way things have been going for us right now.

Staff List Updated Again!

              With all the changes that has happened comes the Staff List for all across all teams and projects that are going on currently with the website. It is only the start right now and with that I hope to eventually grow the team eventually but that is kind of besides the point right now. Anyways here is the list:

CBOTW STAFF:

Chris (Me) Founder & Owner 

Larry TVPT/CBOTW Alumni & Advisor 

Billy Advisor 

Everything About Reality TV STAFF:

Chris Founder/Executive Producer/Host 

Larry Co-Founder 

Jasmine Producer

Power Rangers Collab Podcast STAFF: 

Chris (Me) Exec Producer/Host 

Larry Co-Host 

Gordon Ramsey's 24 Hours To Hell and Back Collab STAFF:

Steven Host


Chris (Me) Exec Producer/Co-Host  

            
                    There is the list of the Staff and yea we got a second collab on the go and more then likely we will be doing this the rest of the season and will see and you never know one of the main podcasts or even a new podcast could pop up anytime in the very near future as the last collaboration Podcast has done extremely well with the viewership which is making me ready to offer someone a podcast of their own so you never really know what will happen around with Chris B On The Web.


Chris

Minor Changes To Everything About Reality TV Podcast

              I did not think about changes would be made again once again however I am glad this is done in the Pre-Season, it could of been a lot rougher mid season but however that is now besides the point and I am going to explain everything to what is going on. Yes I realize there has been no blog is 2 days now and one of the reasons is because I slept half the day actually. Well to be honest with you guys I wrote this at 3 in the morning this morning due to the fact I couldn't sleep at all. However as you guys know from the video I posted on Social Media last night, that Jasmine is no longer hosting the Big Brother Canada Season 8 and Big Brother US Season 22 Recaps due to commitment with work which is totally understandable and we discussed things and Jasmine isn't going anywhere as their going to be still involved with Everything About Reality TV Podcast from a Behind The Scenes standpoint. What does this mean? Jasmine will be in charge of things behind the scenes from getting guests on the podcast each week hopefully to letting me know when Reality TV Shows are going to be starting and Season Finales and so on. What does this mean for Big Brother Canada coming up? Well yours truly will be taking on the role on host for this season at least and you never know this could open the doors with the guests we have on this season to possible more permanent Host for Big Brother US 22 in the summer. These were all Jasmine's ideas and I totally agree and this is something we should of done from get go but that's OK. It's a learning curve as this is the first time and we sure have some ideas moving forward.


             Anyways that is what is going to happen and I already posed an idea to my team and if we add something I will be sure to announce it here on the blog at some point in very near future for right now we are still currently on Audio ONLY and looks like I will be back doing Big Brother Canada Recaps again this year and looks like Larry and I will be doing a Finale Podcast as well. So some positive things out of but yea I know I was excited to be sharing the podcast with not just myself but other people as well but in a way I still am, Jasmine is still part of the team and involved but just in a different way. The way I think about it is there is a positive outlook to the situation honestly and I am still a very happy Exec Producer and Host. Maybe in a few months time we will find a permanent host for Big Brother Recaps. However this is not the right time and in time we will work on the next step. Right now it is one step at a time and that is what we plan on doing from here on out. I got such a supportive team CBOTW wise, podcast wise as well and they respect any decision that we make moving forward.
