Schall We Talk with Robyn Schall

This episode was supposed to be simple. After you guys loved the cabin-in-the-woods chaos, we thought - let’s do it again, but on the beach. What could go wrong? Everything. Absolutely everything. In this episode you’ll see: Our beach attempt where it’s freezing, windy, and the ocean is literally attacking us every 10 seconds The pier attempt where Security is “directing,” forgets his notes, and b...

This one is a scarrrrrrryyyyy one in the best way. Part 2 of Security's under-$80 Airbnb is here!!!  So, we did not do the smart thing and leave before dark. No. We stayed in the creepy little cabin/shed/wooden box in the middle of the woods and filmed a spooky nighttime episode instead. Naturally. In this episode we talk:  Why this episode exists in the first place: an Airbnb challenge that...

This episode is a full rollercoaster. We start with the biggest update: we officially crossed sell my art in Central Park off the goals list and had our very first art show and sale for Muddy Paws Rescue … and you guys showed UP. It was fun, emotional, chaotic, and yes, there was immediately a fight with a man claiming our spot in the park. Security went full big brother mode. I was just trying to...

Cabin in the Woods Airbnb Disaster  Okay friends, this episode is chaos from the jump. What started as a normal podcast idea about Airbnb horror stories somehow turned into Security finding us an actual $70 Airbnb in New York… which turned out to be a tiny cabin in the woods with hammocks, ladders, an outhouse, a bear warning sign, and absolutely no chance I was sleeping there.  In this episode we...

Okay, this one is a little unhinged in the best way. Part of this episode was filmed in the past, part was filmed in the future, and somehow Security and I still ended up doing what we do best: giving advice we may or may not be qualified to give.  In this episode we talk: Why this episode is confusing on YouTube: past Robyn is in a baseball cap and long dark hair and future Robyn in a jean jacket...

Okay this week’s episode starts off chaotic (as usual) because we tried to open by talking about “blind people” and immediately realized… let’s pick out words better. What we meant was: Love Is Blind , and how love can make you ignore red flags the size of Times Square. We get into my full rant on this season (Pilates guy, period guy, and why some of these men should not be allowed near a Netflix...

This episode was recorded at 3:47 in the morning because I couldn’t sleep… and instead of spiraling alone, I decided to turn on the cameras and talk to you. What started as anxiety, overthinking, and a middle-of-the-night brain spiral turned into one of the most vulnerable (and chaotic) episodes we’ve ever done. There are Reddit deep dives, surprise guests, vulnerability, laughter, and a reminder...

Hey KIDS! Today’s episode is a little different and honestly… a full rollercoaster. Security actually did work (we’ll see how this goes) and pulled five memorable calls from my old podcast Call Waiting . I haven’t listened in over a year, so you’re getting my real-time reactions as we relive the chaos, the heart, and the “wait… did we really air that?” moments. In this episode we talk: Why I partn...

This week on Schall We Talk , we are “upping the production value”… and somehow everything gets worse. We talk about the surprise early episode upload from last week (oops), a full spiral about whether anyone even listens to the podcast, the sweetest DM that completely turned my week around, and then… Security and I decide to bring back the old days with... Games. If you ever wondered what it was...

Okay friends! This is it. The wedding dress episode, and we’re giving you the full behind-the-scenes breakdown of my Kleinfeld day with Mama Schall… plus Security’s third Hinge date of January because apparently I’m running a dating bootcamp now.  In this episode we talk: How partnering with Martina Liana happened (yes, I slid into the DMs) Why I only brought my mom - no opinions, no pressure, jus...

This week on Schall We Talk , Robyn officially enters her bride era (she picked her wedding dress!) and then immediately descends into absolute cooking chaos. Robyn heads into the kitchen to try viral cloud bread … which does not survive contact with egg yolk. Instead of giving up, she pivots mid-episode and accidentally invents a surprisingly delicious sprinkle sponge cake that may be the best th...

This week on Schall We Talk , it’s all all chaos, some celebrities and tsunami sized tampons. Robyn kicks things off with “Is this celebrity a  fact, true or false?” featuring Taylor Swift, Keanu Reeves, Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé, Christopher Walken, and more… and yes, Security absolutely tries an impression (we will not be taking questions at this time). Then Robyn’s best friend (and returning guest) R...

Come into the “kitchen” (using that term very loosely) for a chaotic holiday treats episode of Schall We Talk   I attempt to decorate three “festive” cupcakes – Santa, Hanukkah, and a reindeer – while answering your holiday advice questions, including: How do you politely stop in-laws from buying you useless gift cards? Is it okay to skip family holidays and just binge reality TV and eat cake? How...

Happy Thanksgiving, KIDS!  In this episode of Schall We Talk , Robyn kicks off the holiday by sharing what she’s truly grateful for this year: Security (yes, really), the kids, her parents, CIA, and of course, Dr. Piano Man.

Robyn sits down with her lifelong friend and Broadway powerhouse Marissa Rosen to talk about growing up together on Long Island, chasing big theater dreams, and what it actually feels like to make your Broadway debut. Marissa shares how she landed “For the Girls” with Kristin Chenoweth, the very un-glamorous story behind her onstage concussion in Water for Elephants, and what it’s like to be the “...

Robyn Is Engaged: Part 2 Thank you for the insane amount of love this week.

This episode includes Operation “Bottled Up”: who knew, when they knew, and how the beach plan came together The date...

ROBYN IS ENGAGED!!!!! After years of dating stories and near-misses, Robyn says yes to Dr. Piano Man — on the beach, with a message-in-a-bottle, parchment letter, and family close by. There are happy tears, a perfect oval ring (with a braided “bow” band), and two white birds circling overhead. It’s romantic, hilarious, and very us. This episode includes The proposal: Long Beach boardwalk → “castaw...

Robyn sets off rockets in her bedroom (literally), interviews astronaut and scientist Emily Calandrelli, and somehow ties vinegar explosions to life advice about failure, confidence, and finding your lane. This one’s part chaos, part inspiration and totally “Schall We Talk.” This episode includes The science experiment: baking soda + vinegar + a tarp-covered bedroom = rocket launch Emily Calandrel...
