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 got wildly out of hand The horrifying realization that our “cabin” was basically a wooden shed in the woods 

Our growing fear of bears, serial killers, ghosts, spiders, coyotes, wolves, and literally every sound outside 

My Ouija board story and why I will never mess with spirits again 

The ghost story from our childhood house where footsteps downstairs were just… a normal thing 

The absolutely terrifying Ohio Airbnb where we heard a woman screaming in the distance all night 

The D.C. Airbnb mystery where a TV turned on by itself in the middle of the night and nobody in the house claimed it 

The punishment for every time I said “like” too much: 20 minutes alone outside in the dark 

A surprisingly emotional middle-of-the-woods ramble about some of the happiest moments of my life, including going viral, my first date with Dr. Piano Man, getting engaged, getting my leg braces off, and proving one awful guy wrong at Town Hall

Mama Schall's spooky motherly advice: turn on all the lights, keep your phone charged, and call someone if things start feeling weird

Also in real life, right after filming this, Security realized he lost his wallet in the woods. So yes, this little Airbnb adventure kept giving.

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 sell paintings and save puppies. 

In this episode we talk:
The Central Park art sale and how we raised $5,500 for Muddy Paws
The man who tried to bully us out of our space before the show even started
Meeting so many of you in person and why these goals-list events always mean so much to me
Why I couldn’t sleep after the adrenaline crash and recorded another middle-of-the-night podcast
My full thoughts on the Bachelorette / Mormon wives / Taylor Frankie Paul situation and why ABC really pulled the season
A deep dive into wild Reddit wedding stories

Mama Schall closes things out with producer shout-outs and motherly advice about staying calm when dealing with bullies and not losing your temper.

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 talk:
-How a casual studio conversation turned into “find an Airbnb under $80 and we’ll film there”
-The horrifying moment I realized we were truly in the woods and could absolutely be murdered for content
-The cabin setup: two loft cots, hammocks, an outhouse, and me immediately deciding we were leaving before dark
-Airbnb horror stories from you guys 
-Our own unhinged Airbnb stories, including the Seattle basement grandma-and-grandpa surprise
-The absolutely insane LA Airbnb saga where an owner tried to scam me for $1,400 and lost
-Why I could never be a nurse, camper, or apparently a person who pees in an outhouse
-Mama Schall's producer shout-outs and emergency motherly advice from the wilderness

Also, full disclosure: this episode exists in a weird timeline because we filmed this before Security realized he lost his wallet in the woods. So if you follow me on Instagram and know the wallet drama… just know Future Robyn is protecting Past Robyn from that emotional spiral for now. 💀

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 and short brown hair.

I give Security advice about a friend group where everyone talks badly about one person and he’s stuck in the middle

Security giving me advice about how to deal with someone who constantly messes up websites, flyers, cameras, and socks with holes in them and happens to be your brother.

The official calendar launch and how my mother bought TEN of them immediately.

Our billion-dollar Shark Tank idea: underwear with my butt painting printed on the butt.

The actual advice segment: Security and I answer relationship and life questions separately to see who gives better advice.

Love bombing vs real connection, bridesmaid budget drama, getting iced out at work after a promotion, and the universal truth that some men simply need to be dumped.

Mama Schall calling in mid-episode, giving producer shout-outs, and reminding us there is enough room for everyone.

Also, very important: in the comments, please let us know who gave better advice this episode. Me or Security? I already know the answer, but go ahead and confirm it.

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 casting form)… and then we read some of your real-life dating disaster submissions from the Schall We Talk website that made us both want to crawl under the table.

In this episode we talk:

The one and only time it’s acceptable to “order for the table” (and why most people still do it wrong)

First date money rules: who pays, when you offer, and why Venmo requests are a no on first dates.

Love Is Blind: why go on a show with that title if you’re going to keep announcing your “type” every 12 minutes

The infamous Pilot story (bus change included… yes, it’s worse than you remember)

Your bad date story: the “serious foodie” who ordered for you… and then Venmo’d you $47.32 with a smiley face

And we close out with Mama Schall’s Motherly Advice of the week: if a date starts going sideways, have an exit plan and never leave your drink unattended.

If you’ve got a bad date you need to get off your chest, submit it at SchallWeTalk.com and we’ll pull more for future episodes.

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 that sometimes the quietest hours bring the most honest conversations.

In this episode we talk:

• Anxiety at 3am, career uncertainty, and the pressure of “what’s next”
• Viral videos vs. feeling like nothing is happening (and why our brains do that)
• Wild Reddit stories: matching wedding dresses with your mother-in-law, fake proposals, secret double lives, and DNA tests that blew up families
• Calling Security in the middle of the night to confirm I was actually recording (and him answering half asleep)
• Surprise appearance by Dr. Piano Man in his underwear and the incredible story of how he taught himself to read, discovered libraries, and became who he is today
• Love, partnership, and why being supported by the right person changes everything
• And we close out with Mama Schall's Motherly Advice of the week

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 partnered with Betches, why the contract wasn’t great, and why I still did it anyway, the real reason we ended Call Waiting (and how it ended on good terms)

A scam story that will make you clutch your phone: DO NOT let strangers touch your phone (ever)

Overprotective Parents: the dad who wouldn’t allow sleepovers because “they’ll save THEIR kids first” (and then my flammable rope ladder logic)

The “Hercules” ex call. It’s  emotional, sweet, and the reminder that your partner should ignite your passion, not extinguish it

Halloween Ghost Stories: the top hat man… possibly Abraham Lincoln (jury’s out)

Dating Disasters: the Mexican food aftermath + cleaning frenzy + “Poop Boy” (I’m still unwell)

Thanksgiving gratitude that made us both soft: friendship love, support through grief, and why girlfriends are everything

And we close out with Mama Schall's Motherly Advice of the week:

 Know when a chapter is over. Change isn’t failure, it’s growth.

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 like growing up in the Schall house -  this is it. We break down childhood classics like Troll Bungee Jumping and Soda (yes, it was basically waterboarding), and then bring that same chaotic sibling energy into:

• Truth or Dare (featuring Dr. Piano Man and an elephant wedding entrance request)
 • A Cosmo quiz about saying “I’m sorry” too much
 • Mad Libs that absolutely spiral out of control
 • Security dressed as an old lady for no good reason

It’s messy. It’s ridiculous. It’s very Season 2.

Thank you to everyone who listens, watches, comments, and messages. When you’re starting something new, that support means more than you know.

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, just vibes
• Kleinfeld’s VIP experience: private room, champagne, the iconic curtain reveal, and our consultant Brandi keeping the energy at 1000
• The moment I knew it was THE dress (and how it somehow combined all the dresses into one magical-dream gown)
• The plot twist: I’m wearing TWO Martina Liana gowns that weekend… including one for the welcome party.
• Why Dr. Piano Man saw the dress and why we’re skipping “bad luck” traditions. We’re doing what makes us happy.
• The emotional crash no one warns you about: post-dress adrenaline + a 2 a.m. spiral + the “good, you’re the bride” pep talk

And we close out with Mama Schall’s Motherly Advice of the week: think before you speak… and if someone starts a sentence with “no offense,” cut them off immediately. THANK YOU.

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 thing she’s ever baked.

Along the way, Robyn answers listener advice questions, talks about love, anxiety, wedding excitement, and why sometimes messing up is exactly how you end up with something better than the original plan. Mama Schall debuts her new motherly advice segment, reminding everyone to put the phone down at night and choose peace (and sitcoms).

It’s messy, funny, heartfelt, and very on brand.

🍞 Cloud Bread (The Original Plan)

Ingredients

• 3 large egg whites
• 2½ tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• Food coloring (optional)

How to Make

1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Separate egg whites carefully (no yolk — learn from our mistakes).
3. Whip egg whites with a mixer until foamy and starting to stiffen.
4. Gradually add sugar, then cornstarch, whipping until stiff peaks form.
5. Fold in food coloring if using.
6. Scoop onto a lined baking sheet, shape into a cloud.
7. Bake 20–25 minutes until set and lightly golden.

(Results may vary depending on yolk-related chaos.)

🎂 Accidental Sprinkle Sponge Cake (The Pivot)

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 2½ tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• ¼ cup flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• Splash of vanilla extract
• Sprinkles (optional but encouraged)

How to Make

1. Preheat oven to 300°F.
2. Whisk eggs, sugar, and cornstarch together.
3. Add flour, baking powder, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
4. Pour batter into a greased pan.
5. Add sprinkles on top (even mid-bake if the spirit moves you).
6. Bake 18–22 minutes until set.
7. Cool slightly, flip, slice, and enjoy your redemption dessert.
