Schall We Talk with Robyn Schall
Schall We Talk is a comedy podcast hosted by comedian Robyn Schall. Imagine the wild energy of Pee Wee’s Playhouse colliding with an old-school talk show. Each episode is its own unpredictable adventure. One week Robyn might be sharing her latest personal misadventure, the next she’s diving into interactive games, interviews, science experiments, or even chaotic cooking trials. No matter the theme, every episode makes listeners feel like they’re part of the fun, the madness, and the laughter.

Schall We Talk Episode 9 - Mama Schall
This week Robyn sits down with the one and only Mama Schall to talk about what it was like raising a child with Perthes disease, keeping a marriage strong and why laughing through the worst moments kept their whole family afloat.
This episode includes
- Robyn’s Perthes story: the misdiagnoses, the house-call doctor, years of braces, surgeries, bone spurs, and learning to walk again
- The hospital days: turning the den into a mini hospital, a recliner tipping over, emergency surgeries, and gift-shop bribes
- How Mama Schall handled the day-to-day: therapy for the whole family, negotiating braces, advocating at school, and keeping everyone mentally OK
- Marriage talk: meeting Papa Schall at 16, the “magic lock” trick, and 52 years of laughter
- Parenting advice: teenage daughters, staying open when kids are struggling, dealing with anxiety, and why work ethic matters more than career choice
- What people don’t know about Robyn: the mushy center, the anxiety, and why rainy days still hurt
- Engagement secrets: how Mama Schall kept the proposal plan hidden for two months
- Grandpa Louie’s best sayings and Mama Schall’s final message: find joy, surround yourself with good people, and don’t sweat the small stuff
