Schall We Talk with Robyn Schall

WE'RE BACK FOR THE FINALE PART OF WEDDING SHENANIGANS!!!  Guys, I think we've officially squeezed every last drop out of this wedding. At this point, you've seen so much footage, heard so many stories, and gotten so much behind-the-scenes content that you might as well have been IN MALLORCA WITH US! But before we officially close the book on our wedding, we have a few more things to...

I'M OFFICIALLY MRS. DR. PIANO MAN!!!   Welcome back to PART 2 of our WEDDING SHENANIGANS! It's time for the BIG DAY!!! And guys, I don't even know where to begin. Our wedding was truly the most magical day of my life. It was everything I dreamed of and somehow even better. But behind all those beautiful wedding photos were some absolutely RIDICULOUS moments. In this episode: • PEOPL...

I'M MARRIED!!!  Welcome to SEASON 3 of Schall We Talk! We did it. Dr. Piano Man and I are officially husband and wife, and I can honestly say our wedding in Mallorca was one of the most magical experiences of my entire life. But getting to that magical day? OH. MY. GOD. There is SO MUCH to unpack that we're breaking the wedding stories into multiple episodes.  And for Part 1, I am taking...

THE SEASON 2 FINALE IS HERE!!! And somehow we actually made it. As of recording this episode, we are officially 15 DAYS away from the wedding and 10 DAYS away from leaving for Mallorca. So for our last episode before I become MRS. DR. PIANO MAN, there was really only one person who could be our final guest... THE GROOM. And Security decided it was time to find out just how much Dr. Piano Man actua...

DID SECURITY GO ON A DATE?! 👀 Before we get into this week's throwback, we have a very important mystery to solve. A woman from the dog park asked Security to get drinks. SHE paid. He walked her home. There was a hug. Security insists it wasn't a date. I have questions. Mama Schall has thoughts. And apparently so do all of us. Once we settle that extremely important matter, we're g...

We're officially THREE WEEKS away from leaving for Mallorca... and I'm starting to panic.  There is SO much left to do before the wedding that for the next couple of weeks, we're taking a little trip back through some of our favorite Schall We Talk episodes. Don't worry, I'll still pop in every week with a brand-new opening to catch you up on the current chaos, and Patreon...

SURPRISE... WE GOT MARRIED!!!  Well... legally. Last Thursday, while you were watching me give questionable life advice as "Dear Robyn," Dr. Piano Man and I were secretly at City Hall getting MARRIED. We didn't tell our friends. We didn't tell the internet. We barely managed to keep the secret ourselves. And then just a few days later, we headed to Boston where I got to reveal...

Dear Abby retired... so naturally, I think I should take over. Here's the crazy part: BEFORE I knew she was retiring, I told Security I wanted to do an episode where he finds real Dear Abby letters, I give my advice without knowing what she said, and then we compare our answers to see if I have what it takes to become an advice columnist. And for possibly the first time in Schall We Talk hist...

Have you ever said something and IMMEDIATELY wished you could suck the words back into your mouth? That's basically this entire episode. We had absolutely no idea what we were going to talk about this week, so five minutes before recording we opened the phone lines and asked you guys to tell us your most embarrassing "I can't believe I just said that" moments. And somehow... it...

This week was a BIG one. We welcomed the newest member of our family, Munchkin, and then immediately jump into Dr. Piano Man's bachelor party... which somehow ended with missing memories, a lost phone, way too much whiskey, and one of the sweetest speeches we've ever heard. It's emotional. It's chaotic. It's us. In this episode: • We tell the full story of how a late-night...

Conspiracy theories are back... and somehow this episode gets even weirder than the first one. Mama Schall returned wearing a homemade tinfoil hat, confidently explained why she might actually be an alien, and somehow convinced us that time travelers may have helped build the pyramids. Things only escalated from there. Whether you believe any of it is up to you... we're just asking questions....

We've all had those moments we wish we could erase... unfortunately, this episode is about reliving them. This week, Security and I read your most humiliating stories, and somehow the listeners managed to make us feel better about our own lives. From public wardrobe malfunctions and workplace disasters to drunken decisions and bathroom emergencies, things spiral almost immediately.  In this e...

This episode is with a two-time Emmy winner... but somehow we still spent part of it talking about my trash-picked jukeboxes and  wedding.  This week I'm joined by my longtime friend Jamie Lee . She's a comedian, writer, actress, and executive producer on Ted Lasso . We first met over a decade ago, and it was so much fun finally sitting down to talk about comedy, writing, career highs, c...

Special episode this week of Schall We Talk as we have Casting Director, Producer, writer and friend of Robyn’s….Erica A. Hart.  Years ago, Erica took a chance on me and cast me in my very first scripted TV role. She had no idea where my career was headed, and honestly... neither did I. Today, Erica is one of the entertainment industry's most respected casting directors, with credits includin...

Have you ever gone down a conspiracy theory rabbit hole and suddenly found yourself thinking… "Wait… what if?" That's exactly what happened in this episode. We put on tinfoil hats, debated some of the internet's wildest conspiracy theories, accidentally got way too philosophical, and somehow ended up questioning everything from the moon landing to whether my own mother might ac...

Well once again, I woke up in the middle of the night anxious, couldn’t sleep, and decided the healthiest thing to do was obviously record a podcast in my pajamas. So yes, this is another middle-of-the-night episode. In this episode: • Security and I make wedding predictions  • Dr. Piano Man joins me in the studio and somehow turns my anxious spiral into a surprisingly deep conversation about life...

This episode starts with Pranking Security and then somehow turns ends with Mama Schall calling back to yell at us. Honestly, I don't think any of us were qualified to host this episode. In this episode: • I prank Security with completely fake answers to questions you guys wrote in and watch him slowly question everything he knows about my wedding • We read reddit AITA stories and debate whet...

Episode 34: Schall We Talk about Painting Security’s Wall Wait! Hold on! What? Ok!!!! I was fully prepared to record a normal podcast episode... and then Mario Lopez (YES THAT MARIO LOPEZ) commented on my Instagram. Five minutes later we were talking about underground journal dealers, painting over a wall I once destroyed with duct tape, and the bizarre chain of events that somehow led me to Dr. P...

This week, Mama Schall is back!!! We asked you to send in the things you needed motherly advice on, and Mama Schall came ready. She gave opinions, disclaimers, wisdom, judgment-free guidance… and then somehow became the funniest person in the room without even trying. In this episode: Mama Schall gives advice on divorce, toxic relationships, dating again, friendships, parenting teens, and finding...

This week we are airing dirty laundry!!! You sent in your anonymous secrets, and we read them. Some were funny, some were wild, some were suspiciously specific, and one somehow led us into a possible Grandma Susie spiritual interruption. In this episode: Our secret Access Hollywood / Mario Lopez Saved by the Bell cheating scandal The behind-the-scenes panic of realizing we may have shared too much...

We accidentally toured a house that may have been haunted. I mean: creaking 1850s floors, locked mystery sheds, a terrifying broken dollhouse, an old woman appearing from a hidden bedroom, an illegal basement apartment that looked like a crime scene, AND we got rear-ended immediately after leaving. So naturally… Dr. Piano Man and I are officially house ghost hunters. In this episode: The woman who...

This episode is all unpopular opinions… and somehow turns into coffee tasting, ghost airline jokes, poop-on-a-bus discourse, and me potentially leaving New York City. So basically: business as usual. In this episode: My unpopular opinion that it’s completely okay to change your mind about life, careers, relationships, and where you want to live The shocking Zillow listing that suddenly made me wan...

This episode is such a fun one because I’m joined by my cousin Sammy Schall and his drag persona, WorshipHER... so yes, you get both in one episode. We talk drag, performance, identity, family, stage life, and what it really means to be fully yourself. I’ve seen Worshipper perform so many times, but this was my first time actually sitting down and interviewing her, which made this one extra specia...

This episode is a Mallorca recap, and honestly… you must never be bored with the Schalls. We are less than 24 hours back from Mallorca, and I had to record immediately before I forgot everything. We went for the wedding taste test, hair and makeup trial, venue planning, family meetings, and somehow turned the whole trip into a sitcom. In this episode: The official meeting of the families Traveling...

We hit 300,000 Instagram followers!!! So naturally, we celebrated the only logical way: with a cake, some life lessons, and a whole lot of chaos. In this episode: Why I wanted to celebrate 300K instead of waiting around for some “bigger” number A real talk about celebrating the journey, not just the destination Why rejection might actually be protection A late-night conversation with Dr. Piano Man...
