ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [12-20-2020]

             Here we are for the second last updates for the week.  Another week has gone by and so much happened around the community for the week, good and bad. I will explain it so here are the updates:

Website: The website still having a good steady flow of visitors on a regular basis, however with the chatroom open and closed since this weekend, it has been up and down and I ensure it is open fully and guests are allowed in there. Not sure what is happening with the site admin situation at this moment but I have to wait and see what happens. Like I said there will be a shutdown in the chatroom on Dec 24th/25th and change for the New Years Eve and New Years Schedule: Dec 31st, 2020: Chat will be open during the New Years and welcome to pop by chat and wish the CBOTW Family (CBOTW Team and Fans) a Happy New Year! Finally I will be making a Christmas and New Years banners for this holiday season so be on the lookout for that this week!

Entertainment Man Podcast: Reminder that this weekend (today) at 1 pm EST is the last episode of the first Season of Entertainment Man Podcast and after today this podcast will not be on the air till Sunday, January 10th, 2020 @ 1 pm EST is when he will be returning with a brand new Season, the 2nd Season of this podcast. 

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast: As you all know Chris and Larry recorded back on Thursday and was or am editing very hard and fast to get this out to you guys and I set on a date for the Collaboration to come out and that will be on Wednesday, December 30th, 2020 @ 3 pm EST when you guys will see it pop up on the website and I am excited for it to show.

              Chris will be returning tomorrow with posts again and one last thing I'd like to add is I would like to personally wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I hope you all have a wonderful holiday despite the state of the world right now and I will talk to you all next week on the Final Update of 2020 before 2021.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast Hints Chris Is Giving You Guys!

               Chris made me do this post specifically for a reason. To tease you guys for what is to come in 2021. Yes Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast is coming back in 2021 and Chris given 3 different months for me to hint to you guys and why:

April 2021: If all goes well and quoting Chris's words from him that if all does go well and notes are ready to go he will be ready to go back to the Collaboration Podcast sooner. 

May 2021: This is the back up plan if worse comes to worse as I said he has a 3 different ideas in mind and depends how well he does with the planning of the Collaboration Podcast.

June 2021: This is the final month he has planned in the back of his mind and honestly I think this is the month he will be returning so it sounding like by his conversations with myself and Larry this is the set month he will be returning OFFICIALLY. He's hinted that you never know he could be back in studio together and yes he is being optimistic about it. 

 

               What it is sounding like it will be an 6 month Hiatus then the PR Collaboration Podcast boys will be back in the saddle again. Do not forget they also have to still do Dino Thunder in January and just maybe he's actually hinted the final collab before the break live on Facebook but will have to wait and see honestly. Hope this gives you guys a clue to what he is up to and he is truly up to no good and let him have his fun, LOL. He's doing it for a reason I'm sure. ha-ha!

What Needs To Be Tested With The New Mix-Minus Setup?

          Now that Chris has the Mix-Minus setup and he has it all hooked up and it does work, there is some things that he needs to do with Larry to ensure it works as Chris is no longer using OBS for recording and strictly this setup. Here is what he needs to do over the next few months while testing and making things work great:

- Chris has to work on the levels on both sides, his mic and the guest side of things via Discord or Skype as it hasn't properly been worked out and I think this is why he is thinking about his first guest interview will not be till the end of the month of January.

- He still has to learn how it works and figuring out how to not make the earphones squeal as that has become a problem with the excessive squealing and I've heard it over the phone and it ain't pretty that's for sure.

- He also has to figure out how to run his intro and not stream it into the guest on Discord or Skype as it will come back to the recording and it could be a problem indefinitely be a problem and I suggested he don't have the volume on Larry or any of the guests on at the time and they probably hear it through the mic a bit I'm sure.

- He will also test both Skype and Discord on two different nights to ensure it works on one or the other technically and to which one of the two are the best for recording a podcast and I am sure both will work just fine.

             These are the things he needs to work on and learn how it works and it shouldn't take long but with the collab is him getting the next collab notes finished up and that is just one of the reasons why there is a hiatus is the notes are so far behind schedule but least you get Entertainment Man Podcast in the time being while they work on catching up but more information coming tomorrow as there is a part 2 to all of this but different topic tomorrow, until then, have a great rest of your day!

State Of The Studio Closure (Updates)

           I have some information that Chris wanted me to share with you guys since he is indeed off this entire website from posts and I have written posts for the entire week in one night. As you guys know the studio has been closed for an entire 9 months now and the update is at this point of this COVID-19 Pandemic, Chris has made the decision to extend the closure up to June 2021 at this point. Now I know what your going ask what about the Collaboration Podcast. Remember when he announced on Oct 27th, 2020 there would be an hiatus of the Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast and up to June 2021 there are no plans to start up the Collaboration Podcast, but I can hint it will be in June sometime and another announcement is to come eventually as Chris and Larry are going to be working on fixing it. Another blog post to come about this tomorrow with some information the boss man has given me to tell you guys on a hint to when it could return and what not. He's up to something and I know it. 

 

          So this not affecting the collab and Chris will still be working on Entertainment Man Podcast and probably will be working with Larry on constant testing on the new mix minus setup which will make things a lot easier and he has the setup and has tested it all together. But he's not tested it all. But that's another post to do that i will do in the coming days. I am exposing the inner workings of ChrisBOnTheWeb. Chris prays and hope even by June to be able to see Larry in person again but that will all depend on the state of this pandemic. He will be making a further decision by June of next year to what the next stage of this closure is and if there will be restrictions or if he will continue to keep it shutdown publicly to the team as I have not been there but been in close contact via phone and video chat to any updates that he has and keeping an eye on him how he's doing with his mental health.

Holiday Schedule December 2020/January 2021

               This is his usual time, I am talking about Chris, well he normally takes 2 weeks off no work nothing to do with ChrisBOnTheWeb, well use to but takes certain days off and works the other days and he has sent me an email with dates to when he's in the studio working and when he's taking time off. So without further ado, here is the schedule starting December 23rd, 2020 till January 2nd, 2021:

Dec 23rd - Dec 26th, 2020: Chris is out of the studio not working whatsoever.

Dec 27th - Dec 30th, 2020: Chris will be in the studio working, may be half days, may be full days, depends how he's feeling.

Dec 31st, 2020 & Jan 1st, 2021: Chris is out of the studio not working on content at all.

Jan 2nd, 2021: Chris is back in the studio back to work on content.

                  

                In total he will be taking 6 total days off which is probably enough time for him to decompress from a busy year moving forward which is good and I will be around. Now he has mentioned that the Community Lounge Chat will be Locked Down Dec 24th/25th, 2020 for Christmas & also Dec 31st, 2020/Jan 1st, 2021 as we wanna enjoy our time off from working around the clock for you guys and we rarely shutdown chat for holidays but we are making the exception this time around. We need a break but both Chris and I have email on our phone and we constantly go our eye on the email and ready to answer you during this closure.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast Schedule!

            As of late yesterday, Chris let me know that him and Larry OFFICIALLY set a day to record the next Collaboration Podcast will be Thursday evening which the two of them will be recording the next episode which was just a month apart from the other one. Now the actual date of release is not yet available and I believe during the holidays he will be posting it up between his breaks from recording as always will be and I am assuming that will be during his holiday break from things it will be up and he will be holding onto it when he finishes editing.  Also I know for a fact he will be immediately starting up on Dino Thunder so they can record that in January before the Hiatus begins but you will get more information on this this week at some point from me. I think that is what he tends to do is give you guys a podcast during the holiday which is easy for us to upload as it is only based off the website itself and nowhere else at this point.

 

               That is my announcement and I am excited for what these two are recording this week and I am excited in general for the final set of podcasts for 2020 before the break and him taking a well deserved break that he really does deserves. He really has worked hard with the improvements of recording through the last month and I give him a ton of props on this and so did Larry, he gave Chris a ton of props so you never know this could be a short hiatus and again I will explain that in the coming days you guys but big props to the guys on a job well done with changes and improving production.

I Am Replacing The Other Admins & Update On Chris

             A lot of you guys remember me, Kelsie but one fact you didn'y know I am the older sister of Sophie who also worked with Chris at one point. With all the countless drama on the weekend and Chris's mental health deteriorating by the day and the pressure for Power Rangers Collab coming close to production soon, I have stepped in to help him with notes. While he sleeps,I work, while I sleep he works visa versa. I know for the most part he will be working on the notes and recording both Entertainment Man Podcast and Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast which is going to be finished end of this week production wise and kind of the reason why he has taken some time off form posts and he will post from time to time but no guarantees it will be often but both of us will be around if you got questions.  I do have permissions to change anything that he needs to change on the website and I tweaked the Management Team list effective immediately as change had to be made to the Community Lounge.

              Update on Chris as it got into later in the evening he was laughing a little bit more as I spoke to him and honestly I'm the depression is still there losing two friends in one day. I never seen him this tense before and he can use a vacation honestly and it's coming up I will explain on Wednesday's post the schedule for the next week when he will be in studio and not in studio working. As you know he was playing an online Reality TV Online Mini and he ended up quitting the game just after the merge due to some drama but he's proud he called someone out for throwing his name under the bus for no apparent reason. He's been feeling down the way he went out but he should keep his head held up high, he made it to the merge and would of been on jury regardless if he didn't quit but he needs to remember it's a stressful game and I am and we're all proud of him for trying it out and I'm sure he will have good memories from this. Those are the updates from me on him and I will talk to you guys tomorrow which will be Power Ranger related as he is getting close to recording soon.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates! [12-13-2020]

               Another week is here for everyone here at ChrisBOnTheWeb! Chris has become overly overwhelmed with such amazing response from you all and he thanks you guys tirelessly. 

 Website: Friday had almost 400 views on the one post which is insane. However with the chatroom down till 12 pm EST today but it is going to reopen and the views are down cause the chat is currently closed at this moment but it is going to open again it is because Chris was in an Online Reality TV Mini Game for the 2 days.

Chat: Like I said it is opening up today on the website and I will be around cause of recent issues Chris has had in the chat, he's made it clear he won't be involved in the chatroom much and he is staying away from the chat but you never know he could pop by at any point but in the end that is clearly up to him.

Entertainment Man Podcast & Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast: With this being Finale week and Podcasts are slowly wrapping up Production for 2020, Chris is recording his 20th and Final episode of Season 1 this week and he is truly excited. On top of that Chris and Larry are recording the Final Collab for 2020 and they will be down to 1 more podcast in 2021 when they need to record one more and then they will be on a hiatus till Mid year or mid 2021.

                  With things wrapping up and there will be a quiet period of no podcasts and just blogs coming out on a daily basis, any updates may change as there may or may not be any updates from Chris or I but it really depends what we have to update you on but I can say this, there will be updates and I think he's mentioned to me to remind you guys on the Holiday schedule and also an announcement for the chat being shutdown for over the holidays which I will get into on next weeks post. I will talk to you guys on next week's post.

Blog Posts Schedule Moving Forward

         I know it seems confusing with the Blogs and to when certain things are going to happen and what not so this is why I am making this post. I know I have been all over the place with posts and/or missing days from time to time but some days I need to take to myself and soon as Ninja Storm notes are done, I am going to go write happy with Blog posts for the holidays this way I am spending no time on my days off so I can enjoy my time with I guess the family here in the household since we're under restrictions again. Maybe I will explain that one day soon but anyways here is the schedule:

Week # 1:

Sundays: Weekly Update (Nothing is changing) From My Website Admin, Charlotte.

Mondays - Fridays: Regular post from Yours Truly.

Saturdays: Weight Loss Updates from Yours Truly.

Week # 2:

Sundays: Weekly Update (Nothing is changing) From My Website Admin, Charlotte.

Mondays - Saturdays: Regular post from Yours Truly. (Note Weight Loss Updates are ONLY every second week in the Week # 1 cycle.)

              

               There is the updated schedule for this week and next week on this day, I promise you guys I will have an update on my weight loss journey and how it is going for me but this week is a normal every day topic compare to other weeks. I can say this, I am working on a new method to lose this weight and decided to take a different route with it so this way I can at least get into the 220's at the most. Anyways, I hope this clears up some air with the schedule and right now and once I lose all the weight the schedule will be different again but that is for later not right now at this moment. I will talk to you all on Monday's blog post!

Lots of Positive Feedback for the CBOTW Community

               This is why I love this community such a positive feedback with the community recently, especially when it comes to the Community Lounge that you guys have had for the past week and a half and I am so glad it came back as there has been a lot of great feedback and questions. Yeah there has been that one troll coming after me when I wasn't even paying attention to the chatroom on the website half the time as I have been swamped with notes and podcast stuff lately but as I have admitted on Twitter I do ghost or lurk the website Community Lounge most of the time, I am just not logged in. However I see the love and support you guys are giving me  That is besides the point but I love the feedback not just seeing messages in the chat but also social media and love hearing such positive feedback.

                You guys help me out with any of the changes that needs to be done especially when it comes to the website and we hear you and will fix the bugs within the website as recently we had to push an update for the "Everything About Reality TV" Podcast page. Charlotte found a bug within the code on the website Archives for that Podcast. This is why I love the community and I know you complain something is "broken" and we will get to it as we have so many other projects on the go right now but we hear you and we also make a list of things we have to "fix" within the website. There will always be some kind of bug within the website and we will get to it and suggestion is to send us a screenshot of the issue so we know what the issue is. However, Billy, Larry, Charlotte and I thank you for the continuous support and keeping your suggestions, ideas and questions in a positive matter and this is what we want is a positive, clean website.

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! 🍻
