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.
