My wife Amy is a guest this week on the podcast as we open up and discuss her breast cancer diagnosis from a few months ago and what her first week was like going through chemotherapy. Spoiler: it wasn't good. We almost don't know what to do with ourselves right now, so we thought sharing our story with others who may be going through the same fight.

Ep. 28 New System, Who Dis? Upgraded to the M2 Max Mac Studio from the old Macbook Pro 2017 and within the first few days of testing it out, we've already fixed a few of the bugs and issues we were encountering that were driving us crazy!

First of all, is it acceptable to say vinyl or are you adamant it's records?

As an 80's baby, I was on the tail end of records leaving the shelves and CD's taking over the market. After spending thousands of dollars on my CD collection, I boxed it all up in my basement and went toward the ease and convenience of streaming. Ah! So easy. How cool is it to access just about anything you want to listen to on demand in seconds...ANYWHERE!

So why the hell am I addicted to buying record albums in 2023?

Is it time to ditch the people around you?

If your personality and outlook on life is heavily influenced by the 5 people you interact with the most in life, have you done an audit lately? Being around toxic, negative people in life or on social media can have a huge affect on how you go about your day. Your life. Do the people around you really have your best interest at heart?

I found myself in the middle of some Tiktok drama that found my page, my account, my comment section, on a post of mine that had nothing to do with the original incident. But seeing that it came to me, I decided to open the box and see what was inside. What I found were the toxic, negative people all of us have in our lives that love to seek out chaos. They love to see it continue. Because it's what they live for. I just want something positive and educational to come out it from those directly involved, so that it doesn't happen again.

But if that happens, what would the mob of people in the comment section do that love chaos in life? Well, they'll come after me.

Doing one Taylor Swift episode for Tossing Salad seemed out of left field but when it's your biggest audio podcast by 7 times, you have to not only do another show but bring back your Swiftie expert. Karolina is back for another fun episode to fill us in on her search for the hard to come by Eras Stadium tickets and addressing new rumors of #canceltaylor, her new beau and what was going on with that security guard escorted out of her last concert.

Our very first interview for the Tossing Salad Podcast Ep.1, Andre is back and talking Love is Blind and whether he would actually go on a television dating show now that he is a single dad. Also a bit of lawn talk and the changes to his office into a big new grow room.

Tossing Salad Podcast Ep. 23

97% of all podcasts fail before the 20th episode. We're on show 22 after our 6 month anniversary. What have we been doing these last couple weeks and where is the show going forward? What is Brian and Chelsea Make a Podcast and is that replacing TSP?

Have you ever wanted to start up your own podcast or live show with a friend? Or how about a friend you just realized existed less than 6 months ago. Chelsea and I are going to do just that and bring you along for the ride over the course of 24 live episodes as we cobble together what this podcast show can be about. We'll brainstorm and crowdsource ideas, test out skits and games, all with the help of our live viewers.

Bridget from @tinygreengrowers stops in to discuss boundaries in life. Real life and social media. What do you do when people cross them and how comfortable are you in setting and enforcing them. We also FINALLY get to the origin story on Mr. Grumpy Neighbor. Let us know what you think!
