ChrisBOnTheWeb Community Lounge Opens Monday!

      I know surprise! I am making a mid week appearence and Chris already knows about it and says it's fine and gives him the day to work on the collab podcast with the editing this gives him the day free as it takes him sometimes 45 minutes to complete a post in the day when he could be editing the podcast. Anyways we are proud to say, we are launching the chat as of today. That's right, Chris messaged me this morning letting me know that as of 9 am EST Monday the Community Lounge will be open for business! As you know we have had our share of issues this week including last weekend and we were all set for launching the chat 2 days ago but we have had to put it on hold temporarily but he has made it OFFICIAL today that we will be going ahead with the launch of the Community Lounge as of Monday. So you will not be seeing this in an update. Just hope there will be no more issues around the website that will prevent us from launching the Community Lounge. What will be in thsi Lounge? You will see a chatroom where you guys will be able to talk and interact with Chris and his Management Team which I am a part of. This chatroom has been set and ready to go for days and sits there empty with just Chris and I doing the final touches to the chat especially. 

               You are wondering why Monday @ 9 am EST well that was Chris's decision to open it early in the day so everyone gets a chance to pop in to the page and it is bright and early in the day. You never know, Chris may be lurking in chat and if you guys pop in and yes guest chat will be open so everyone can participate. There are a few rules and they are: 1. No spamming; 2. NO posting links. Please ask a member of Staff or the Moderator Team; 3. NO being disrespectful of any kind; 4. NO asking for Mod, must earn the trust of Chris and the members of the Management Team Staff; 5. NO religion or politics talk is allowed. We do not want to have an argument happen in chat. Those are 5 simple rules to follow. Now one last thing Chris detailed to me this morning if the guest chat gets too abused with trolls, we will shutdown guest chat where you have to login. However, we are looking forward to this Community Lounge opening on Monday and be sure to be on the lookout for an official launch post on Social Media!

When Is Power Rangers Wild Force Collaboration Podcast Coming Out?

                I know with the craziness around the website this week with the non stop issues we have been experiencing with the podcasts as you know, we have ended up being backlogged with editing and working on the collab right now, it's not even funny. So what we are doing is we're working on editing and the next collab so we have it ready to go. Anyways I know I promised you guys to have it out this week but unfortunately I have to postpone it for this week as right now we have yet to finish up the editing side of things and I hope to make a good run today to get a good dent into the podcast and try and wind down the length especially as I can say this it is 2 hours and 26 minutes to be exact. I know it's a very long podcast but honestly getting use to it and having some fun in the process. So what we have to push forward the release of the podcast as we have to finish up editing the podcast.

                I know, I know get on with the announcement. I can say this for now, next week I am planning to roll out the next episode and I apologize but it is beyond my control what happened to the account issues I experienced over the weekend and I will make sure to get Joe to make an announcement to the day and time it goes out. So what I am trying to say is this will determine if I am finished the podcast and I can say I am working on it and really need to start editing a ton in order to make but this gives me till Sunday and time to think about when I want to put it up and more then likely I will end up putting it up mid week so this do not interfere with the Entertainment Man Podcast Schedule but again depends how long it takes to edit the podcast as I said before it's a long monster podcast and working countless hours for you guys to ensure it is done. It has become my number priority. So be sure to keep an eye on Social Media and this blog for details to come.

Website Recent Maintenance Complete!

                With someone getting into my Archives account that I use to embed the podcasts on the website for the website version. Well apparently they deleted the account which I never did whatsoever so it had to be someone that got into the account. Anyways after 18 + hours of hard work and labor to the website, we have completed the website maintenance and you probably noticed that before there was missing episodes that were not there and that has been all fixed and it was a big mess honestly. We hope with the change of passwords this will not happen in the bear future this will not happen and to the person not cool at all honestly. Myself, Billy, Tiala and Joe work too darn hard to bring you guys quality content and for this to happen this sets me back on other projects that may  need my attention and this drives off my attention on Ninja Storm and also the Collaboration Podcast that still needs the editing it needs.

                Now that this issue has now been adverted, I can start working on the collab stuff yet again and get this out to you guys soon and work on the other podcast as well and that is definitely the plan and today I am starting on the watching the series again this morning. This blog was the number 1 on the list today. I hope I can multi task and catch up as this weekend was about fixing the website. Anyways that is what happened and I'm sorry that we didn't explain very well what happened to the website and we didn't want to panic you guys on the issue but we made you guys aware of the issue but it is all good now in the end the crisis has been adverted and we move forward with the content. Just wanted to be open and honest with you guys and now you know the truth but again we're moving forward and will let you guys know when we have the episode ready and I hope to have it done by end of the week so I can post it up a week tomorrow in the afternoon. Anyways I will talk to you guys tomorrow on another blog post.

Weekly Updates [11-15-2020]

             We are officially into a brand new week for ChrisBOnTheWeb and Chris's content and I have some information to give you guys from the boss man himself as things have been going good and some have gone awry but I will explain what is going on so here is the update:

Website/Archive Account: Chat is OFFICIALLY going to be making a RETURN as of a week tomorrow @ 9 am EST, it will become active on the website once again and will be open to the public 24-7 and YES, guest chat will be activated but as Chris told me to mention if it gets way out of control we will lock it down where you have to login to the chat and we honestly do not wanna do that if we don't have to. We delaying the launch of the chat by a week due to his Archive.org account, well someone got into it, changed the email to it and he has already emailed them about it and hopefully will hear back from em this week which will affect 2 of the podcasts within the website. We both are working on getting it back as it has all 295 episodes of the podcast on there and we never once changed the password oremail to it. We have an idea who have done it and we are not one happy about it. He's gotten into a fight with support and he either owns up and him and I reupload. He don't wanna create a second feed and re do the intros if he don't need to. He has thought about returning The CBOTW Show but feed would be inactive minus 3 times a year and he's not up to covering shows throughout the show, he's retired from a regular podcast and currently has the podcast I mentioned below. We will be in direct contact with you guys when things are back online so stay tune to the Social accounts for direct updates on the situation.

Entertainment Man Podcast: The Podcast is coming out today as normal at 1 pm EST, however due to what I said above Chris and I cannot post up the podcast to the site with the Archive.org account not accessible at this moment, the podcast cannot be posted up. However soon as we get access and update the account with recent podcasts, we will upload and update the pages that need to be updated as one of the podcasts is not showing on one of the website and we are fully aware of the issue and will fix it when it is the right time.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast: Chris will edit but right now everything is on hold with that Collab due to us having to re-upload everything and taking pages offline temporarily on and off and we are sorry but this is ridiculous we have to put the Collab on hold at this moment while we fix the issues. 

               There is an array of issues and the website and even if we change the emails which we got access to it again and we changed emails and we have no access to the old email to keep it verfied at this point and we had no choice but to change the email and trust me Chris fought hard on it and he has not been a happy camper at all with the recent changes and stress. In the end the final result they moved all items to the current account and we're now back on track once again. I'm sorry this is late. We both were up all night working on fixing on issues within the website and now we are doing checks on each page to ensure it's working again. Anyways I will talk to you guys next week and sorry for a very long post but so much going on in the last 24 hours.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Turns 6 Today!

               Today ChrisBOnTheWeb turns 6. I know what your going to say why does it say 15 Years on the banners across the site and social media? Well this year I am also celebrating 15 years as a content creator that is why it is like that. Anyways when I started under my own brand 6 years ago, I was still currently on the YouTube platform and The Entertainment Man Talk Show which was the current running series along with Vlogs for 700 + days. Then saw the start of podcasts 6 years ago too but was short lived till Fall of 2015 when "Everything About Reality TV" started follow by it's cancellation this year and the birth of Entertainment Man Podcast which has done quite well for itself recently. The website itself has seen so much change over the years and honestly the transition from YouTube to Podcasts was a major change and having to change everything over on the website so you guys wouldn't be confused and I mean when confused when I turned into an Audio ONLY podcast in 2016. Why do you think I took the summer off from content, so I can start re-designing the entire website from scratch.

              Either way I am proud of the website and the content over the years and I am looking forward to celebrating 10 years in 4 years years time when it hits it's 10 year anniversary.  This is indeed an momentous occasion not just for me but my management team as well as well. Some of them been with me on and off over the years, Joe who helped me on that other website provider that kept suspending my website for no apparent reason, but also Larry who has been with me since before CBOTW even remotely existed yes I am referring to the old team, The Video Projects Team and yeah I'm not afraid to mention that name and I will talk about that next week on a post I promise. We have some old school team and new school who are new to the team now but that don't matter, I am proud of my team one way or another and we are progressing very well with it and here is to another year, another 4 years and so on. I'm not going off air anytime soon no matter what the haters say, we're here to stay!

What Needs To Be Fixed With Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast During It's Hiatus?

            I know this has been a question for a while since the announcement on October 27th,2020 when I announced there will be a hiatus with the Collaboration Podcast and I am going to answer that today. First of all I know Larry and I have had our share of issues on both of our ends and one of the reasons we are taking time away. I will also highlight the plan for 2021 without giving away any key information when we are planning to recording. Anyways here is what we need to do moving forward:

• Moving forward we have to make sure both our internet isn't giving us a problem as that has been a key issue with me for the most part as you know I have had some issues in the recent months and still having the occasional in and out with the net but nothing new there but really working hard to fixing the issue. 

• Recording software. Make sure we have the right microphone setup as that was an on going issue with the recent podcast back in August and not referring to Wild Force as that was recorded yesterday and I haven't had a chance to start or just started the editing the podcast so it can go up next week.

• Make sure Larry's IPad is working smoothly without the battery dying on him which was the other key issue back in August and kind of the cause of me unsure of the podcasts future due to this pandemic we are unable to record in the studio at this current moment and resorted to recording via Skype.

• Catch-up on the notes as that also has been a problem is getting the notes done so the next several months, I will be busy working on future collabs between my regular podcast.

             

                There are the key things that need to be fixed within the next several months once we complete Dino Thunder we will be busy behind the scenes on getting notes done and fixing the above issues that the podcast is currently experiencing and I am sure we will get these fixed and working. So please do be patient with us, we will be back in 2021 and I cannot wait to get back to recording with Larry but in the meantime enjoy, Wild Force, Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder because there is plenty of podcasts to come before we go off air for a few months while we fix what I said above.

Last Day On Set of The Entertainment Man Talk Show... (Throwback Thursday)

            This was the toughest day in my career. Knowing it was the final day on set of my beloved web series and to be honest it was a tough last day on set for me knowing the series was heading into a hiatus for the next full year before the series got completely cancelled, axed whatever you wanna call it. The final episode, was York Durham Railway which was an honor and pleasure to actually have the permission to film on their property on some of their equipment, Budd Cars, Alco Diesel # 3612 one of my personal favorites as it was always the locomotive that pulled when my dad and I were on it. There is a picture of me sitting in the diesel and I could of gotten a picture on Diesels # 22 and 1310 but no, I had to make sure it was 3612 again it was a personal fave. I can actually say I have been on the train 3 different occasions and been pulled by all 3 diesels. I remember the day Larry and I filmed it was a hot day and being in the car it was hot but we were use to it. We filmed as much as we can before sticking our heads out the door. I believe it may have been a two part finale, but then again I would have to ask Larry to see if he still has the outlines for Season 5 & 6 outlines. I will ask him later on today and if he finds it to make a copy of it to send it to me through mail.

              I remember the very final scene was in the caboose and was the final send off on the series before the end.  It was an emotional final episode because honestly I did not know the state of the series till the next year.  I remember coming back to the studio to celebrate the end of the season and another successful season. To be honest I remember the conversations that Larry and I what was next if we were planning to continue the series or we would just end it entirely and do other projects. There was a lot of conversations between him and I especially after the recording was completed with him and I. Honestly I am blessed for everything I had with that series in the end. It had one heck of a run really and I am forever grateful for the fans that supported the project in the final days and years of the series and I will always have a ton of memories recording the series with my team. That is my post for today, thanks for listening to what I had to say about my last day on set and I will talk to you guys on tomorrow's post.

I'm Back! & Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast Schedule This Week!

                  So I am back with another blog and I know, it's been 4 days since my last post and I got some great news with the Collaboration Podcast but that will be little later on in today's post. Yea I was not happy and I took 2 days away from the blog but I am very thankful for having a management team, Billy, Tiala and Joe, without them I probably been a mess mentally right now. However I have been working on things and getting a move on the next collab podcast and of course my normal podcast which by the time you see this post I have recorded it and started the editing process with it and also watching the virtual Remembrance Day Ceremony with my dad.  Also working on Power Rangers Ninja Storm as well. Ever since being off from the blog, I have been sleeping early evening up to midnight and up during the night and sleeping a bit in the mornings which I have to honestly fix the sleep issue and I am trying. My sleep is so wacky right now it's not even funny. I was up majority of the night and will stay up till 9 as it is a single episode of Amazing Race tonight as the next two weeks is a double episode of Amazing Race so 4 legs of the race is 2 hours both weeks. Anyways I will be in bed by 9 pm EST and I should be asleep till 3 am EST at the most maybe 4 am but we'll see. 

                 Now to the announcement portion of this blog post: tomorrow evening, both Larry and I will be recording our next Collaboration Podcast for Power Rangers Wild Force Collab Podcast. I am excited we finally get to record the podcast and we get to release another episode of the podcast together. Now due to COVID-19, we will once again be recording VIA Skype as we are still practicing our social distancing from one another and it's been 8 months since I have seen Larry in person but we are committed to recording the podcast even if it is online. His mic here in the studio isn't going anywhere, it sits there waiting for his return. Now the announcement for the post up is coming and maybe by mid week next week it will be up and posted up. One last thing I can say we are aiming for Ninja Storm in December and Dino Thunder in January which then we will be on hiatus and of course gives me time to figure things out and get caught up with watching seasons on the side. That is all I have to say for today's blog post and I will see you on tomorrow's blog post. It is good to be back.

Some Updates On The Situation....

               The plan moving forward is here and Chris has finally started to come around. I know him very well and known him for years how he needed time to cool off. Honestly things are just fine as it is to be honest and he is getting the views on a regular basis and that is enough as he had over 1k in views last month. The other day he had over 500 views.... Cannot say he aint getting the views. So with the feed now down for good, the plan is to continue with the podcasts as normally scheduled and also the blog posts that you guys see on a daily basis he continues to make posts whether it is him or I but I know for a fact he is going to be returning tomorrow to blog posts and scheduled his posts on his white board so we know for a fact he is returning. The whole issue with the live feed it could of been all OBS that made it disconnect or the buffer circle. So he is on the right track and honestly I would of been mad too as he's gotten so much work on the page done through me and yes I was a little mad but understand why he made this decision. He's the boss and what he says goes. I respect his decisions and I told him it's not worth the stress. So you can expect moving forward what I said, blogs, podcasts, collabs they all will be happening. Now I am not 100% if him and Larry are going to be doing an Collab for the Anniversary or not. I heard rumors from Chris he tore up the notes for it. Maybe for the 15th Anniversary perhaps which is coming up very soon!

                Chris, well he is in good spirits now and feeling a bit better and I told him why didn't you vent on your story on both Facebook and Instagram. He's bottling it up again and it's not healthy to do that. I know he's a very loyal person especially when it comes to his content and ChrisBOnTheWeb and if it wasn't for Larry, he probably would have indeed left Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast and it would of been all over after Dino Thunder. Chris made a promise to keep it running after the little hiatus it's going on. That was what was on his mind all day yesterday. However he is laser focused today to get working on the next collab and get back into a rythm to be set for December's next recording session after this week's podcast. So this is the last post you will see from me till Sunday's weekly update. Enjoy your week and I will be speaking to you all on the weekend.

Chris Is Not Happy With Net Issues Continue To Be A Problem!

               Chris is not happy and refuses to make blog posts and no clue whatsoever if he will be posting at all this week or I will be covering for him all week. I will explain what's going on. Last night we were testing out the live studio feed and his internet giving him issues and he's already spoken to Rogers Help and they say they are going monitor it for 10 days and email him an update and last time they said that it never happened. Total lie and he's on the fence and doesn't want anything to do with Rogers and has considered another internet company if he finally is on his own. Long story short, he is been in a mood since yesterday and hasn't said a word to me and has even told Larry that he's OFFICIALLY cancelled recording this week which is delaying the podcast yet again. He's really not in any mood right now and if he don't answer please do not be offended. 

              I will be around on both Facebook Page and Twitter throughout the day if you have any questions or concerns to what's going on with him. Really worried about his well being and his mental health. I know for a fact his mental health has gone downhill and maybe a week away from blog posts is what he needs to get his head back in the game again. He's deleted all the chat accounts and I've already removed the live pages as both the actual live page and the Live--Beta Test pages as both are now gone from the website back end of the website. He was really excited for this feature and the fact you guys get to see what he is doing during the week but cause of the net issues he's really in a bad mood and not sure how long this will actually last. I now wonder what is going on with the collab and he's cancelled the anniversary collab and sounding like no podcast at all this week at all and production is back to a stand still again. I can see why this podcast is going on Hiatus as of the conclusion of Dino Thunder. I guess I will talk to you guys tomorrow unless he comes around and is in a better mood but if anything changes please do check the social media if things change. I am more then happy to post for him while he's stepping away to figure things out.

Weekly Updates for Chris & ChrisBOnTheWeb

              This has been a wild week for Chris and the team and he has gave me a few updates recently and ideas as well has been suggested as well. We have been busy with expanding on the website a little bit and we are excited to mention it on today's blog post. Anyways here are the updates:

Power Rangers Podcast:  With Wild Force complete, Larry and Chris are indeed going to be recording live this week and not sure when but they definitely have to record not just one but two podcasts as Chris recently remembered that the Anniversary under the ChrisBOnTheWeb brand and just hope we can end up squeezing in both but will find out tomorrow as he will have to remind Larry of this and may have to do an afternoon recording session if possible to get both done.

Collaboration Podcast: As I said Chris has planned an Anniversary Podcast for just the website only that is going up some point Saturday no time confirmed by him but sounding like he has hinted 1 or 2 pm EST it will be up. This will be on it's own dedicated page here on the website and he is excited to do something to honor this.

Website: Second last update for today, the website. Now you haven't see it yet but we are working on this brand new feature. The first time in a long time, Chris is going to start casting right from the home of his own website. He will be watching shows and what not and when he does watch it you will see him with headphones on at times. However he will be getting into details later this week as right now we are just working on the page and testing the feed out which has already been tested and it works. It is work in progress and he has to work on a couple of things to actually figure out with cameras in the studio and recording while live. Again more details is to come later this week.

Entertainment Man Podcast: Finally, I know he has been off schedule last week and this week he will have to definitely have to get back on track as even last night he slept in the evening and been up all night working and making sure he gets the editing done and ready for the weekend, however he is close to finished and should be ready for me to post up on the website.

             There are the updates and I made some tweaks to this post and I think it is a ton better then what I had which wasn't much of an update originally but gave it an addition as he has given me more information that I can tell you guys. He has been very secretive lately on what he has planned and he has kept us the Management Team in the loop on things and when he has information, him or I will be sure to mention it to you guys. I should have further developments by next Sunday to when the feed will go up Live for you guys. One last thing you will see the Live tab pop up during the week but will not be "clickable" till he is ready to launch the page entirely.
