15 Years In Online Media!

              15 Years ago today, I started my journey in Online Media, being a Content Creator. I started creating videos so I guess you could call me an Video Content Creator even tho at this time 15 years ago, I wasn't even on the YouTube platform as of yet. That didn't come till 2 years later as of January 31st, 2008 is when "TheDirector015" channel was created and actually believe it or not still exists on YouTube as they never removed it off their platform which is insane those videos are on there. There was 2 Phases of the first stretch of my Online Media, the YouTube ERA which consisted when I was still the Founder/Owner/President/CEO of The Video Projects Team between 2005 and 2014 which was near it's 9th Year of Operations. The Second phase is Podcasting which I will get to shortly. One of the most notable series that I did and ran a very long time between May 23, 2008 and June 2015 which was an 8 year run even tho it went on Hiatus while I went to school or attended college. The first channel has up to 40 subs at the most which was the most but the channel got quite a lot of attention to it over the time it was active till someone got in and unattached the email to the channel and now the channel sits there but I got a plan to have it closed down once I download all the videos. I already been in touch with Team YouTube about the situation and waiting and hoping they reach back out to me about this as the channel has to go as I am no longer. Another story for another day. I created a new channel under TheChrisBOnline or something along the line of that and was around between November 2014 and June 2016 when I subsequently quit YouTube to be a full time podcaster and bring Everything About Reality TV Podcast under Audio ONLY.


                In November 2014, I had a music and talk podcast called the Chris B Podcast which ran up to March of 2015 when it was cancelled. I also had a small stint with a sports podcast in 2015 but left it due to unnecessary drama. I also started blogging on a daily basis from events to several types of topics on a regular basis. Everything About Reality TV Podcast started up September 2015 on YouTube then moved into Audio ONLY up to it's cancellation this year in June 2020. Last year I was a Co-Host of another podcast but left for certain reasons and was my decision and my decision only on December 10th, 2019 which it will be an year tomorrow. However that was a year ago and I am focusing on now and that is what really matters and this year saw the final downfall of Everything About Reality TV Podcast and the birth of what you guys have been listening to for the past many months now, Entertainment Man Podcast which is a success on it's own and you guys have been enjoying it as the stats on that page has proven it too. Also in 2018, Larry and I formed our own Collaboration Podcast called "Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast" which has seen a huge success and we have enjoyed. In the end it has been quite a ride in the last 15 years and nothing but proud on how the success of this website has become and I'm nowhere near finished at this point as I am going to continue to create content. I wanna thank all of you, fans, friends, family, my management team of Charlotte and Billy for your support. I also wanna thank my Alumni, Eric, Gordie, Justin; plus I cannot forget my Senior Producer and Co-Host of Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast which has carved the path of success for this website. Here is to many more years with ChrisBOnTheWeb & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com! Cheers! 🍻

Dealing With Drama & Stressing Over It

               There is a lot I thought about in the last day and that is with everything that has happened in the last year with drama which for example, I have been called names made me realize it is not worth to stoop to their level to do it back. If someone calls you names or cause problems it is not really worth to stoop their level and do it back. It is not worth the extra stress and honestly I just do not worry about it and move on with what I am doing. There is other things in the world that you need you to worry about. Life is too short to deal with petty drama and stooping to others level. You have to show you are the more mature person as they wanna get an reaction out of you and if you retaliate then it is not a good thing to be honest. Honestly I have started to show a different side of myself recently. Point I just do not care and also that I have given to many chances and I have learned to start putting my foot down. I mean I need to stop giving so many chances to those who have done me wrong. Trust me I am a completely different person then I was a year or so ago.


                The last year has been a lot of ups and downs and moving forward I am not going to be as easy going. Just will not put up with crap or drama moving forward and honestly I feel like I have been too easy going at times over my life time in the last 35 years that I have been in this world called Life. I know I can be serious at times and I have to be when it comes down to something that I am very passionate about like blogging and podcasting.  Either way I don't play around and there is a certain tolerance I have when it comes to this and honestly. Anyways that is my post for today and hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [12-06-2020]

             It is once again for an weekly update. There is a few updates but not too many at this moment. about 3 smaller updates at the most. Chris has not even be around much this week since the drama went down a week ago but it wasn't cause of that, he has been darn busy creating content and finishing up what needs to be done before Christmas hits. Anyways here is the updates for the week of December 6th, 2020:

Website: The website is having it's ups and downs with the views this week but it is normal thing to happen. Our chatroom has been very active with our Moderation Team of Charlotte & Larry.  We are loving the positive feedback and questions that you have about Chris's content and we are so happy to answer your burning questions and I know we have had to double down on help with the chat since Chris is absent from the chat recently and he cannot always be there as he's been busy.

Entertainment Man Podcast: With few weeks left of the first season, Chris has doubled down on recording podcasts for today and next week and once he is finished editing he will be really digging into the collab which is the next point I will make.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast: The Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast needs to get it's notes done this week so Larry and Chris can record the podcast next week so Chris can start working on the final Podcast before the Hiatus starts and there is no news when  but he's already hinted on Twitter about this to a time when he is planning to return. Over the holidays he will be finishing up Dino Thunder and type up the notes between his holiday breaks too. 

               That is about it for the updates for this week. I told you guys not much in the way of updates for this week. We are just working hard to maintain this website of his and him working on content for the final weeks of 2020 as we get ready for what is going to be a better and happier 2021 for Chris as he hopes it is drama free moving forward. Have a wonderful week everyone and I will talk to you guys next week.

Weight Loss Updates [12-05-2020]

           I was on a good role with losing the weight but ended up gaining half of it back and no matter what I do how much less I eat, I always seem to gain the weight back. So I am gonna have to start restricting myself a bit more then usual. Just gonna have to cut back a tad more then I expected and that's OK. I was gonna come on here this morning and hope to report me being down at 231 pounds so I have to go back to work on it yet again but since today is my birthday, I wouldn't really worry about it for today as it is my special day but if I really wanna continue losing then I could but more then likely I will not eat much and at the point of me writing this post I didn't eat anything but again this is 430 am we are talking about. I'd like to get down to 222 pounds by the end of the year if possible but that might prove to be tough to do between now, my birthday and December 31st, 2020 but anything is possible if I work hard at it.


           I am not giving up and I am fighting the good fight. I am tired of being fat and yes I am sort of fat shaming myself which I shouldn't and I don't think I really am I am just stating the obvious but I am just so self conscious with my body now and that's OK to really be feeling that way to be honest.  However this week I wanna really work on this weight get myself down to 230 pounds first then the next goal is 220 but that is next year for the goal of 220 right now I gotta get myself back into the 220's to start with so I am going to have to restart or rethink things through before I put something in my mouth I guess but I will lose weight and for right now, I want to keep to every 2nd week for Weight Loss Updates not every week till I start really losing the weight and get myself down. That is my updates for this week and I will be talking to you guys on Monday's blog post.

Power Rangers Battle For The Grid (First Impressions ONLY)

               This is only first impressions as I haven't played much in the game recently with me being a very busy person with working on content for you guys whether it is Power Rangers related or just the regular weekly podcasts. It is not easy to work on two different podcasts at once so I haven't had time to play. So Far I have had Jen Scotts, Tommy Oliver, Jason Lee Scott, Lord Drakkon, Magna Defender, Goldar (yes Goldar), Ranger Slayer, Kat Manx, UDonna, Mastodon Sentry and Dragon Armor Trini to what I remember at this moment. Those are the characters I have worked with so far and honestly I am having fun and actually Larry would love this game and he is gonna have to play it when are able to start seeing one another again in the very near future. I can say this I personally do enjoy the game and I am finding the game quite fun and very enjoyable. There is a ton of action in this game and to be honest I am having a ton of fun.


               Those are my first impressions and when I get a chance and I am sure I will have a review in the New Year at the most when I get some time to play a bit more and see how far I can get. Not sure where the end of the game is but we will see. Either way I am enjoying this game and I found myself playing with my remote control and it's a lot easier then using the mouse and keyboard in the end. I prefer the remote over the keyboard and some games I am good with the remote some I am not good with keyboard and mouse mouse and I prefer the remote over it any day of the week. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I will talk to you guys on tomorrow's post for the first weight loss update in weeks!

Do I Prefer Another Version of A Song or Original?

              This is the easiest question for me to answer as yes I am a music fan and enjoy it on my spare time when not recording my own personal podcast or Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast. I know there is different versions of the song for example Knockin on Heaven's Door which was done by Bob Dylan which I actually have in my collection of music that I have accumulated over the years. Another one I can give as an example is Na na na na hey hey hey kiss him goodbye there is numerous versions of that song. That is not the point that I wanted to make the point I wanted to make some of the other versions are good, sometimes even better but you cannot go wrong with the original version, it is where it began and yes I do prefer the original but always listening to other versions and I like quite a lot of them actually and they are good. 


              Either way music keeps me distracted during all this pandemic and keeps me busy but for the answer to the question I am more into the original but again the other versions I do not mind to be honest but maybe it depends on my mood from day to day but I have no idea what in the world I am saying honestly as I am just rambling on right now but music seems to keep my mood good at times and I it is hard to come up with the right words to get my normal everyday length of a post but today is truly hard. So in conclusion of this post I could go either way with the songs and again maybe it depends on my mood from a day to day basis. Sorry this post is late but better late then never really.

This Website Has a Terms of Use Now In Effect!

                I know Chris more then likely did a post about the new "Terms of Use" on this website. This is why I am making a mid week appearance as I am the one that put together the TOU (Terms of Use) and Chris gave me the yes looks good or thumbs up on the entire wording. Not everything was changed but added in our own rules for the Social Media aspect of the TOU and also the Website aspect of the Terms. The Website was a bit more work as we have two elements to the website in the way of communication, the chatroom which is our Community Lounge and also the commenting on the blog that go between myself and Chris from a day to day or week to week basis. The Terms of Use was created by Chris and I because of the Terms of Service because of the disrespect and drama towards both of us. This all happened over the weekend into the early week and we both agreed to implement this so you guys have to follow rules now thanks to the drama and disrespect. Honestly we do not have time to actually deal with petty drama and it can stay off Chris's website because his site has done amazing and it hit over 10K for the month again and it keeps hitting that stride for the last 2 months which is incredible it's getting the views. I know the last couple of days numbers are lower then usual but it's that time of the year.


                 You are wondering where you can find the Terms of Use? Well at the very bottom where you can find the Terms of Use and it is a yellow word which is linked by You can also find it by going here: https://www.chrisbontheweb.com/p/terms-of-use.html. I expect and ask you guys to give Chris a break. He is working countless hours on the podcast and he is working a lot of long hours, giving up sleep for you guys, going to bed early to be up at the wee hours of the night to get a head start so he can get the podcast recorded and yes I am referring to the Collab which is near it's hiatus which is coming in January. We recently saw an influx of spam in the chat as a guest or anon and we had to ban due to spam if I remember correctly it is in the Terms as well we won't put up. Some rules we are going to be more stricter then others. We wanna make sure this website stays clean and the trolls can simply STAY OUT as I am now protecting Chris from the trolls that have been around the community. We thank you guys for your support and I will talk to you all on Sunday and the boss will be back blogging tomorrow.

Entertainment Man Podcast Season 2 Announcement!

                      That time has come for the big announcement! Season 2 is getting near and I wanted to ensure you the podcast will be back in the new year for a 2nd season. With the success of the 1st season even though it was only 20 episodes short it was a very successful first season and we or I am returning for a 2nd season. I hope this continues on for years down the road and it grows even more and more platforms it gets on and I already noticed it has gotten on other platforms even now which is truly amazing and exciting for me especially. Season 2 will see some interviews and if you would like to be on the Podcast and promote your content, whether is it Podcaster, blogging, YouTube, Twitch, Radio or DJing this is an open invitation to come on my podcast in the New Year to promote your content or stream. I making it clear that I opening up to interviews with my podcast and I will also make an formal post today in the afternoon about this.


                    So the point of today's post is when is the podcast returning and I have been really thinking about this and when the date and I know the Podcast could return Jan 3rd but that would take over my time off from podcasting and my break. It really all comes down to when New Years falls and that happens to be on a Friday in the New Year. I know, I know get on with it. With me explaining the logic behind the date I am happy to say that Sunday, January 10th, 2021 @ 1 pm EST. I am sticking to the same type of schedule for the podcast for 2021 and I can OFFICIALLY say that next year will see 50 brand NEW episodes and it's gonna be even bigger then this years 20 episodes that I did and just wait till January. So with the announcement of the date as I conclude today's post I look forward to the final 3 episodes left of the season before I wrap up the first inaugural season of the podcast and wrapping up this very rough year for podcasts all around. I will talk to you all tomorrow, enjoy the rest of your Tuesday.

Recording My 300th Episode This Week!

          This week is indeed a big week for me. I am recording my 300th episode as a Podcaster and it is truly is exciting moment for me to be honest. However I am kind of nervous as you know it will be LIVE and very rare time for me to go live as I do not do a lot of FB Fan Page Lives anymore as I am one busy person. To add the element of going LIVE with this being my 300th Episode is a little nerve wracking and I am re-doing my notes for this week's podcast as I wanna add on and remove a couple of things to the list as this is live and I might forget to say when the live recording happens on Wednesday afternoon as I said before and is exciting stuff to be happening. As you know not all 300 episodes was Entertainment Man Podcast & Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast, majority of the episodes are on the former "Everything About Reality TV" Podcast which as you all know is no longer in a run and has ended almost 6 months now.


             However I am sure with the Collabs and Entertainment Man Podcast, I will hopefully will bring in more numbers down the road but right now I need to focus on what I have and with 2 episodes remaining after recording Live for a special podcast for 3 different reasons, Birthday, 15th Anniversary with Online Media and of course this being my 300th Podcast I have done or hosted over the last 5 years as a full time podcaster. However I am very excited and nervous as I said but it will go away as I know you guys will make it feel like a breeze the half hour I am live on Facebook and honestly it will be a lot of fun. I thought about this idea to do it Live and as you know I am self conscious about going live and kind of over streaming but I will do it for special occasions but that is it. Will not be overly a long stream but least you guys get to see me in the flesh from time to time.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates! [11-29-2020]

             This week hasn't been the easiest for Chris and he addressed it on his fan page and Twitter about it and we do not take being told to "Shutup" lightly. We work countless hours on content and fixing the website so there is changes effective immediately and this comes from the boss man himself who has instructed me to announce this changes so here they are:

Website: As you all know our Discord Server and accounts are down for good Chris has officially given me the OK to announce the Return of the chatroom right here on the website which you can find here: https://www.chrisbontheweb.com/p/community.html which I am there most of the time minus sleep and Chris is always lurking in even if he's not signed into the chatroom. We had the discord button which was removed from the website as Chris is back with Skype again for good this time around as he's not going to be messing around anymore. Also this week I am going to be starting working on an Terms of Use for both the website and Social Media Probably will not be released till New Year as we want to make things perfect and wanna take our time on it.

Entertainment Man Podcast: With the Podcast near it's Season 1 Finale Chris wanted me let you guys know that Tuesday he will be making an OFFICIAL press release here on the website and across Social Medias when Season 2 begins! He has finally decided on a date and that next Season will consist of 50 New Episodes. This depends on when the dates are each and every year so it can vary however either way he is excited to be returning in the New Year with brand new episodes.

Power Rangers Podcast: Also "Boss Man Chris" wanted me to let you guys know that he will be working on notes all week starting today within the day at some point after he finished editing as he was editing up to the point of the endless drama kind of drew him off but I assure he'll get it done today. This means next week Chris and Larry will be recording and he will be doing a seperate post next week not this week but the following and he will announce when he is recording once him and Larry know when their recording. 

              There is the updates for the week and I hope you have a wonderfull week and I am sure I will be seeing around you guys around Social Media and of course the website and please feel free to pop by the chatroom if you guys have any questions as guest chat is open around the clock but any abuse we will shut guest chat down and you will have to login but I look forward to chatting with you guys throughout the week.

I Know The Plan For January During One Of The Podcasts Are On Hiatus....

               After my visit with my Grandma and getting money from her for my birthday after I was refusing to take the card till next Friday when I see her once again for a visit for my birthday since I will be very busy. However that is besides the point but with that money I will be getting two things and one of the items will happen to be the Mix-Minus setup I have been talking about for the past year and I tried to get the right gear for the mix minus setup and now that I know exactly what I need I can order it and it will be through Amazon as I rather stay home most of the time then go out and buy the stuff that I need to get it and Google is my friend so I can check what I need for the Mix-Minus setup. I even emailed a store to get some extra guidance to what I need for the mix minus setup and another fellow podcaster friend has helped out a ton which is always greatly appreciated! 

 
                You guys will be seeing an new type of setup in 2021 and I am is excited for the future of podcasting and it will be an better setup. With Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast getting closer to hiatus I have already started to tweak the settings and sound for the mics and so far so good sounds amazing at this moment. I know the fact we're not on the hiatus yet but already started getting things ready for the big return and I know I have been very quiet on the plans moving forward and you guys will know in time what we are doing to the studio and the future of podcasting. This isn't just Larry and I but also Joe is helping out with the changes so we can actually and in meetings all day to figure things out in regards to this changes and getting ready to make these changes in February 2021 next year after Dino Thunder is completed and finished up. As I have said before, I know the date when I wanna return and the dates to catch up. I can say this-- next year will be a different from other years we did this collab. I am again not going to expose everything, I will in time however just got to start preparing for the New Year, big stuff coming, I can tell you guys that.


Chris
