Episode 39 - Schall We Talk with Jamie Lee

Episode 39 - Schall We Talk with Jamie Lee

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, career flops, and everything in between. In this episode: Winning two Emmys for Ted Lasso Writing and acting on Crashing with Judd Apatow How Girl Code changed her career Why saying "yes" changed everything The story behind her incredible one-woman show My Friend Katie Crossing "Interview an Emmy Winner" off the Goals List This one is funny, inspiring, and honest.

Episode 38 - Schall We Talk with Casting Director Erica A. Hart

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 including Survival of the Thickest, The Equalizer, That Damn Michael Che, Broadway productions like Death of a Salesman, Pass Over, and Chicken & Biscuits, plus commercials for L'ORÉAL, GEICO, Quaker Oats, and so much more.  She's a producer, writer, educator, and one of the kindest people I've met in this business. This conversation isn't just for actors. Whether you're chasing a dream, changing careers, or just trying to figure out your next step, Erica shares advice that honestly applies to all of us. I walked away inspired, and I think you will too. We also talk about how she cast me in my first TV role, what casting directors really notice in auditions, the biggest mistakes actors make, why getting an audition is already a huge accomplishment, and somehow... we end up talking about my unforgettable role as a dead buffalo. 😂 I can't thank Erica enough for coming on Schall We Talk. This is one of my favorite conversations we've had.

Episode 37 - Schall We Talk About Conspiracy Theories

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 actually be an alien. So... proceed with caution. In this episode: • My parents somehow started texting Dr. Piano Man's family in Spanish using Google Translate at 5:45 in the morning... which is somehow more terrifying than any conspiracy theory we covered • We put on homemade tinfoil hats and rate conspiracy theories from "Debunked" to "Plausible" • We accidentally fall into a surprisingly deep conversation about the Big Bang, the universe, and why it's kind of incredible that any of us exist at all • Mama Schall revealing her favorite conspiracy theory... and confirming that she believes my grandfather was from another planet This episode is ridiculous, completely unserious, surprisingly philosophical, and may permanently change the way you look at me.

Episode 36 - Schall We Talk about Stressing Out and Calming Down

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, love, and what it means to live well • We read ridiculous Reddit stories about Thanksgiving PowerPoints, gender reveal magicians, and family chaos • Dr. Piano Man and I start brainstorming the least romantic prenup clauses of all time • A discussion about 75 Hard that lasted about 75 seconds • Mama Schall’s motherly advice for anyone who wakes up anxious in the middle of the night This one is sleepy, funny, weirdly comforting, a little emotional, and exactly what happens when anxiety meets a podcast studio.

Episode 35: Schall We Talk about Being an A$$hole

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 whether someone is wrong for refusing to give up their airplane seat after paying extra for it, a fiancé sending flirty Instagram messages to his future bride's friend, and a neighbor geting revenge on a loud roommate. • Mama Schall misses her original recording because she was busy winning at Canasta • Brotherly advice unexpectedly replaces motherly advice This one is ridiculous, completely off the rails, filmed out of order, and exactly the kind of podcast episode that somehow only gets funnier as it goes.
