The End of Daily Blogging....

               This is my last post on a Sunday as we change into a  different timetable which I know will be a ton better and we are changing things up after blogging daily for the last couple of years. It has been a lot of fun blogging on a daily basis but also exhausting coming up with ideas on a regular basis. This is why I am making the change now to 5 days a week not the full week. Now this doesn't have to be permanent, it can change at anytime if we wish and you never know we can get the Staff Involved with the blog if we wish but that is for later. As you guys know this blog started in 2014 so it has been a crazy adventure the last 6 years. Change is good and I think this will be the best decision for me and what a better way to start a new era by starting tomorrow on Feb 1st, 2021. You know I was thinking about the change over on Jan 1st of last year? Yeah I was thinking about that all together before the New Years hit and wish I did it sooner but I needed time to think things through and I will be talking about that on next week's podcast on Sunday which is already pre-recorded and ready to go.

               Like the saying goes, out with the old, in with the new and as I previously said nothing is permanent, I can change it back if the views go back up again and I start to get more ideas in the top of my head but for right now this is what has to happen and I thank you all who supported the blogs on a daily basis and I hope you guys will continue to support the blog Monday - Friday which is a normal work week for us here in the studio and the other staff's home studios as well. Now for the weekend of no blog posts what does this mean, well I may sit down and record a video to post up on both Facebook and Instagram once a week that is an idea I am working on and may be a few weeks or I could also put up some of the BTS (Behind The Scenes) Look at The Entertainment Man Talk Show which I could post up every week if I wish. I do have a couple of those. I could also do a Facebook Live on Saturdays at the end of every month to talk to you guys, there are a ton of ideas really I could do with that extra time. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this ramble blog and talking about the end of blogging and what is next for CBOTW moving forward. Tomorrow Charlotte our resident Site Admin will be making her first on the new day and I will be talking to you guys on Tuesday.

YouTube and Collabs Updates!

               I know the old channel got banned and it wasn't my doing, yet the part I didn't tell ya's my account wasn't even attached to it, it was removed and the person who got into it is out west so that's different location all together and yes it was someone that I knew all together too. If I get banned, I get banned so be it if that is what happens to me then that's fine with me but so far, so good with the channel and it's growing like a weed right now that is what matters and the views are very good, maybe even better then what we have on the Audio ONLY platforms. However as long as people enjoy it that is what really matters... YouTube seems to be a ton more popular for the podcasts then our Twitch channel but I am sure that will pick up eventually but we just have to be patient with this transition of change.

             Now to the collaboration podcast as you probably noticed they disappeared from the Audio ONLY Podcasts all together and that is because we are merging them together as one, Power Rangers Collaboration & Big Brother Collaboration Podcasts will be merging into The CBOTW Show which once was on the air at one point and is making it's return after being off the air for 2 years now and excited for this new venture. Already created the new logo that looks so much sleeker and nicer then what we had originally and it was time for change and change is honestly good. Also on this podcast we will be having Survivor Recaps again done the road but not right at this moment and maybe just maybe down the road we can add Amazing Race and Amazing Race Canada down the road. You never know. There will not just be Reality TV Podcasts but also TV Podcasts and we are open to new opportunities down the road just reach out to us! I will talk to you tomorrow on the final post on a Sunday here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com!

The Recent Changes and What You Need to Know!

                 I know with the decision to end daily blogging a lot of questions why would I end something that has been a part of your daily lives for the past 3 - 4 years? 1) Views are not there as they use to at one point and the 2nd point I'd like to say, I am starting to run dry on ideas with topics for posts on a regular basis so that has become a common issue for the last 6 months. I still got ideas but the fact I only post 4 days a week Tuesday - Friday with weekends off, I think this will help my mental health especially and I think this is the right move. I know there will be upset people with the decision but you have to realize I have been doing this for 3 - 4 years non stop so I kind of knew this time would come where I would have to stop daily blogging. This means a change in my routine. So the Schedule you guys wanna know the Official Schedule as it hasn't become public but this weekend, we wrap up weekend posts and get to new timetable as of Monday. So today is the normal post and tomorrow will be my last Weight Loss Update on a Saturday and Sunday a reflection on Daily Blogging every single day. I know there are questions about events and on Tuesday, I will get into it at a later date when I start going back to posts. Anyways here is the schedule for moving forward:

Sundays: Weekly Updates from our Site Admin

Mondays - Thursdays: Normal Posts from me

Fridays: Weight Loss Updates

Every Other Fridays: Regular Post as I do not wanna make it on a weekly basis at this moment. 

             I am looking forward to this change and I know there will be upset people and this opens the door for other opportunities within the website community and you never know what is planned for the future! Expect the unexpected.

First Episode of Power Rangers Collab Podcast (Throwback Thursday)

           The first ever episode of The Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast... This takes us back 2.5 years when this all first began and we didn't have even have a logo whatsoever till last year so we waited a year to officially get an logo. This started well before this pandemic and we were able to be in the studio and record within the CBOTW Studios. I was a nervous wreck when it first started but hey it was an amazing first episode and we brought in the views first 3 episodes for Mighty Morphin. The rest became history. I think we didn't even have the second boom arm, just the mic stand is what we had originally this was pre second boom arm that we had in the studio. We were a very small production and now we have become a bigger and better production then before. Ever episode we do we improve on things and this is not just this podcast but any of the podcasts really. 

             We have gotten the attention of a few Power Rangers Alum, Steve Cardenas and Jason Faunt which funny enough are two amazing Red Rangers from Mighty Morphin, Zeo, Turbo and Jason from Time Force. It got us excited to see that they are seeing what we are doing and you really never know they could be listening to it, you never know and I cannot really tell who listens are there isn't a way to know who listens to the podcast but we appreciate each and every one of you that listens. I can say it has been quite a journey for the last 2.5 years and there is ton more episodes to come as we're in it for the very long run of Power Rangers Collab. One other thing I kind of wanna drop the Podcast and just call it Power Rangers Collab when talking about it but will be more formal. Hope you enjoyed this post and I will talk to you guys in tomorrow's post.

Old YouTube Videos Are Not Being Posted...

            Since the announcement of the recent changes with the website, we have come to an decision to not upload videos from his old YouTube channel at this point. I think it is just better to actually not bring something back that ended 4 years ago. The past is the past and now we wanna focus on the podcasts and there could be a dedicated website for that technically but you never really know to be honest. This decision became a most definite decision adding in the Live Tab being added to the website and the growth of this website and to be honest with this addition it's really helped out as we've seen ton more views per day on the website so that helps us a ton in the long wrong and gives Chris the mollah on the website. I think focusing on a podcasting part with the blog is definitely the right move for him and the rest of the team moving forward.

             I know that CBOTW has returned to YouTube and growing rapidly fast now and apparently we're showing up in their algorithm but this time it's different, we're focusing on the podcasts live compare to regular videos on the platform so there is a difference. I know we were banned that never happened here in the studio, it was elsewhere and it is unfair to Chris especially but another post for another day from him and I will be sure to tell him. So the YouTube videos however are saved and he has put them on his 1 TB (terabyte) and you never know with him, he may end up putting it onto DVD down the road. You never really know with him to be honest, like Big Brother "Expect the unexpected."

The Return of The CBOTW Network

              As I said yesterday, The CBOTW Network and all the podcasts within this website it's not dead, it's coming back and bigger and stronger then ever! Which is totally exciting for us as a group or his team behind him as we have his back 150% So we have two streams on the list for the podcasts at this moment, Twitch & YouTube which more then likely will be the only two streams we will be on at this current time unless we end up reaching out to our Fan Page but I think Chris wants to keep Social Media for Social Media at this time. The CBOTW Network for those who didn't know this network was on Video but also Audio ONLY Streams and recorded for Audio ONLY Platforms which was one, Mixcloud was his home originally. It is indeed exciting to see this make a triumphed return and to regrow that empire. There is no Audio ONLY Stream, just the video streams which you can find on here. So you can find us on both platforms here:

Twitch: www.twitch.tv/CBOTW_Network

YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCEF7C4tRWCW8ubJF_gcIgdQ 

 

             There are the links, please do be sure to follow or Subscribe to either or both feeds if you'd wish and we updated the website with Live Podcasts and Audio ONLY Podcasts within the website so it is there for you guys on the website as we got rid of the idea of uploading videos to the website at this point. There is simply no room on the website at this point and we wanna focus on the podcast side of things at the moment. However all videos are downloaded and on  an external hard drive and saved in case YouTube shutdown or they banned his account for some odd reason. This is exciting news and Chris has already started posting up on the YouTube side of things with Entertainment Man Podcast on an weekly basis and he possibly could be live tomorrow for the interview he is doing with Jasmine. Anyways I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

The Future of Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast.....

                    After over a week and a half of drama and Chris is starting to talk to his Co-Host again so things are getting better now and the two are speaking to one another which is a start for fixing things for the two of them. Right now with this podcast he has put recording the podcast on Hold but the preparation behind the scenes continue to be worked on a regular basis and ready for when the two boys are ready to get back into action with this podcast. Chris hasn't told Larry as of yet about the YouTube or Twitch thing but he will in time, Chris left out that piece of information at this moment. We want to ensure you NOT to panic or worry about the Podcast going away anytime soon because it will be returning but not at this moment, they gotta fix the friendship as they do not want this to turn into 2016 which was a major fight. To be honest this is the first major fight where Chris blocked Larry for the first time in 5 years which is astounding. They have a lot of understanding for each other and maybe why their friendship is a ton stronger. 

             I know today and the last week and a half has been hard for his team, behind the scenes, unsure what he'll say or do and today was one of those days where he got really wound up over things today. However he has calmed down quite a lot since around dinner time and hopefully the smiles return very soon. He's made some progress with Dino Thunder and it's like nothing happened at all even tho there was something that happened but he continues to work on it and also created a video stream pages which I will talk about on tomorrow's post and explain where you can actually listen to the podcasts when they are live on the air as he tested it out and continue to test it out. He has another camera, the 2nd or 3rd camera he's ordered on Amazon which have broke in the past but he made sure its a good quality. Anyways talk more tomorrow and updates to the studio, have a wonderful night.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [01-23-2021]

           There has been so much that has happened recently with Discord returning and then disappearing once again to The CBOTW Show... I will get into it all in today's post:

Discord: It has been a problem for a while and we got some information that someone who was staff'd with us got into Chris's account and deleted it. We did a new one but since have deleted it due to troll issues again and it wasn't worth the stress. 

The CBOTW Show: It was a ton of work to just prepare it and now we have a newer plan with it and I will get into it all as I continue on with this post and he was on the right track originally and maybe we took a step in the wrong way.

Website: Menu went back to the 2021 version of this website which is a ton better and it works a ton better then the older version and seems to be a more responsive menu as we've had fans mention that it is not as responsive. So that is one of the reasons but now that The CBOTW Show is now out of the picture, we put a reverse on this.

YouTube:  As you guys have heard, we have a YouTube Channel for the Podcasts which you can find at http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEF7C4tRWCW8ubJF_gcIgdQ for the video side of things. Today it starts on the YouTube and two old episodes of Entertainment Man Podcast from Season 2 are up.

Power Rangers Podcast: This morning, Chris has made it clear that production for this podcast is indeed put on Hold for recording till he figures out if he has a Co-Host or not and that will be this week's battle to figure out what is going to happen next for the podcast. Just hope production does resume as I know he wants it back and Larry does too. but Chris said he will be working on the Collaboration Podcast and stuff but as for recording not as much.

                 There are the updates for this week and I hope you guys enjoyed this post and hopefully some better news will come next week, so please do have a wonderful week and I will talk to you guys next weekend with another update.

Favorite Memories of College....

                 Since it has been nearly 9 years since I left college now, I thought now would be the most appropriate time to step up and do this post about my favorite moments in College and to be honest, I do not think I did a post and I cannot remember if I did out of the 1200 + posts that have been done. However here are some of my most favorite moments in no logical order:

Riot Radio: Was an honor to be a part of the Campus Radio Station was one of the first visual radio stations I guess out of College Radio Stations in the country or even Ontario but I forget. I remember when I ended up awfully sick with barely a voice but I managed through a really rough show. This was also the early inspiration for what I am doing now, podcasting and having a passion for being behind the microphone and a lot has come back to me the do's and don't which I could do a podcast on technically. 

Working Out In The Gym/Basketball: We had this thing were we got to go to the gym and shoot some hoops in the gym. I never got to work out on the machines upstairs during my time in College.

Dinner At the Campus Pub: I had dinner with my fellow classmates and other students on the campus and I got to try fried pickles which honestly was delicious! I really enjoyed it and the first time I have had it.

Ridgebacks Hockey Game: For those who didn't know, my college I attended also had an university on the campus as the College and once again I got the honor to see a Ridgebacks hockey game which University hockey is very exciting to watch.

                    There is my list and I am sure there are other moments on campus I can mention such as several videos were made for my YouTube Channel, including an interview with Justin, Larry and the rest of them which was amazing really, I had fun doing it in the process.

Video Game Updates [01-22-2021]

              I have a few updates with video games to update you guys on and there is a few on the list. So I have played some games between recording the site and what not and without further ado here are the updates:

The Sims 4: After the Sims 4 corrupted on me, now it is is actually re installed everything seems to be working and nothing was really affected by the game, meaning the files with Sims seem to be fine so I have no clue what is going on honestly.

Surgeon Simulator: I got the game but didn't last more then a minute as I found it really difficult to pass so I said the heck with it and I got my 10 bucks back for the game as I thought it wasn't worth the money honestly. 

Spelunky 2: As for Spelunky 2, I've gotten to 1-4 on the game but the big guy that rolls around got me and the part that is really getting me more and more frustrated with the game moving forward and I have considered quitting and stopping it completely for a while but that is no me, I wanna keep going and trying to beat the game all together. 

The Binding of Isaac Rebirth: I have gotten back to Isaac and apparently have started to dominate the game and been playing with Azazel a bit more and I ended up getting one of my favorite items Ipecac and I thought this item wasn't a thing in this game. Hey I guess I got it now.

             There are the updates and I will do another update when I see it fits as I hardly have had time to play videos games right now and I guess work is my priority and I am sure in time I will end up having more time for video games but right now it just not the time nor place. I hope you guys enjoyed this update and I will see you guys in tomorrow's post!

Will There Be An The Entertainment Man Talk Show Reunion Tour?

               I know I've been editing all the old videos lately while in Isolation from the world during this pandemic and I have had time to think and I'd like to do a Reunion Tour with Eric down the road and while on our journey take a walk down memory lane but this wouldn't be for a long time and by that time, I could change my mind to be honest. However it has been many years now since we went off air and this would be a cool idea to do a walking tour and maybe I will bring the camera with me take some videos, pictures and remember the good times I once had with the team. Maybe even I could make a trip to Whitby, Ajax and just remember how much fun the series was. It could even be done here in the house remember where the series was majority of Season 3, 4, 5 and 6 was filmed at. We may have not gone too far on this series but it will be nice to walk where we filmed and just remember and talk about it. I wanna do the videos as part of the content for Facebook and IGTV just for you guys and it is an opportunity knocking. 

                 However remember that we are still in a pandemic and it will be quite sometime until things get back to normal and see friends in person as there is no way for me to get in or out of my area as it is on demand service and I totally refuse to actually take it as the bus service has made me quite angry and I've blocked their fan page at this point as I asked em a question and was totally ignored but it was besides the point. Anyways I am getting quite off topic so to speak and I should get back on track with this post. During this isolation, I can start thinking about where I wanna go etc. I can also start working on how I would like to do this, the order of how I wanna do. Anyways I will not rule it out right now if I would do this but it wouldn't be just me, I'd have to do it with an alum and I haven't really asked around much. That is today's post and I hope you enjoyed this random ramblings of mine and I we will see how things are post pandemic and all I can do is plan and that is what I am doing right now.
