The On-Call Room: A Grey's Anatomy Podcast

To all of you listeners out there who are mother's Happy Belated Mother's Day from your hosts Abbey and Bri! We hope all of you had a fulfilling day, and aim to be more motherly than Ellis Grey. If you can't achieve that, we hope you have provided your children with a cool Aunt Adele. For real though, speaking of mothers Ellis is a real bummer of a mom this episode. Sometimes it should be kept to yourself that you regret having children, or probably all of the time, especially if you are speaking directly to said child. Bailey is pissed that Chief is not punishing Burke and Cristina for their rogue surgeries. Instead, she punishes Cristina by putting her on George's dad's service. Everyone else gets to be on the conjoined twins case. Many questions about this case: If one twin gets a boner does the other twin get one too? How can the woman have sex with one and not the other? Logistically, how does this work? Meredith helps Addison deliver Molly's baby, but lets Addison down. Obviously, Meredith should never have been in that room in the first place. Mark continues to be a chauvinistic pig towards the women in the show. When do we start to like him again? All the interns are mad at Cristina and Meredith tries to defend her, sticking by her person. George isn't ready to forgive Cristina for what she did, and perhaps neither is Burke. However, even though Burke and Cristina are not speaking he allows her in the elevator with Shepard to take a look at his tremor. Progress? Next week we are hoping for some resolutions, follow along and find out! SPONSORS: www.thisisaday.com Use code OnCallRoomxADAY for 20% off your first order! DO IT!

TRIGGER WARNING: Abbey and Bri talk about the catching of the Golden State Killer. If you are sensitive to such topics, please skip ahead to just past 11 minutes. Welcome to another episode of the On Call Room, where the weather is warm, the bugs are flying, and Spring storms are plentiful. Do not fret listeners you will have many weeks where your hosts Abbey and Bri complain about all the terrible things warm weather brings. Stay tuned! This episode is supposed to be dramatic, but as Abbey states "It is and it isn't". We finally reach the moment where shit blows up with Burke and Cristina. Surprisingly, it is a little anti-climatic and everyone ends up alive. The lead up to this episode is made out to make the viewer believe it is going to be like the bomb episode SPOILER ALERT: it is not even close to pink mist and Anna Nalick's "Breathe". George has gone off the deep end. He is a dick to his Mom, Dad, Callie, Izzie, Cristina...pretty much the whole cast of Grey's Anatomy. We get it George, your Dad is sick but that does not give you the right to run around this hospital sulking and picking fights! Go home. Other important notes: Cristina tells on Burke, Burke shuts a door in Cristina's face, and Derek and Meredith finally have sex. This episode is meant to be drama-town, but is sort of a let down. No one died, Burke and Cristina performed the surgeries beautifully. Now that this story line has wrapped up we can move on to George's mental breakdown...coming soon.

It is warm weather again, and you know what that means..bugs on bugs on bugs. So, shut up and listen to Abbey and Bri talk about these terrifying encounters, from stink bugs to spiders. The fear is so great, Abbey is even dreaming about vacuuming them up. Stay tuned for the next 10 weeks of summer, where all they can talk about is insects destroying their lives...and how hot it is. But, do not fret there is more to this episode than bug talk. Bri is on vacation and is livin' la vida loca. Abbey is installing new door locks, and both of them are in bright and shiny moods, just like Meredith. Even though Meredith is withholding sex from Derek, that doesn't stop her from taking a super sensual bright and shiny bubble bath with him. Opening scene of this episode makes Abbey and Bri uncomfortable, even though they're both crude people...must be the Catholic guilt. George's Dad shows up in the hospital after a clavicle break, but in true Grey's fashion there is more to the story. Harold has cancer, and a broken heart and Cristina is put on his service. This is obviously leading to something larger in the story. Cristina and Burke are about to implode soon. The staff is picking up on it, the viewers are picking up on it, everyone knows that shit is about to blow up. Chief is considering retiring, his marriage depends on it. Addison and Derek attempt to "help" him out of his depressive funk, when in actuality they end up bickering over past hurts. When will it end?? Izzie is still on do not touch duty and is shadowing Karev. After working on a patient with pectoral implants, he makes the grand gesture and lets Izzie take out the patients drain (which supposedly translates to I still love you and want to have sex with you). This of course leads to an awkward prolonged unwanted kiss in the stairwell. Izzie "just can't" and runs away. Luckily, they reunite in the bar (best place to reunite) and move past their awkward unwanted stairwell kiss. It is obvious that this episode is building up to a big explosive episode, where break downs happen and people are upset at each other and there is a ton of drama. So, we get it Shonda...can we just get to that part already? Enough with the filler episodes...give us some GGBs! SPONSORS: www.thisisaday.com Use code OnCallRoomxADAY for 20% off your first order!

It’s another episode of The On Call Room! Bri is about to move, and next week she will no longer be living with Donna. We all hope they have a loving goodbye, and Bri gets her selfie with her. Stay tuned. Abbey spent the week in New York and has all the feels for Harry Potter Broadway. Spoiler alert: this is also a Broadway review and Harry Potter podcast. This is an iconic episode. We’re going camping! We’re headed to the mountains! We’re not spending the night, man love! Burke’s tremor makes its appearance again. Karev and George have a slap fight. Derek has a weird car. Chief has so many things...cheese, bucket hats, rolling suitcases and ignorance. Mer and Der meet in the bar again. We’re hoping for a win on this one because this back and forth is killing us. Izzie is coming to terms with her grief and Cristina is manic over Burke being gone. It’s obvious that big things are about to happen in the world of Greys. Each character is shifting and things are about to be turned upside down. In the words of Imogen Heap “Where are we? What the hell is going on?”

Welcome to another episode of The On-Call Room sponsored by ADAY! That's right bitches, we have a sponsor and it is a great company that provides "technical clothing for everyday life". Head on over to their website (www.thisisaday.com) and enter promo code OnCallRoomxADAY at checkout for 20% of your purchase! It is dope. (Think leggings you can drink wine in and go to work and look professional all in one!) You know what else is dope, not this episode. That is right folks we have another filler episode with dumb shit, and boring conversation. So, to make up for it Abbey and Bri have frazzled enthusiastic conversation about their personal lives. Not your jam? That is fine, skip along then. We talk about ghosts and shadow people (not to be confused with Donna), and paranormal activity. Once again not your jam? Skip along then. We review our reviews. That is right, we talk at length about a recent review that was left for the podcast. We want to once again personally thank the listener who said we didn't have much direction and we are frazzled. Blessings to you kind soul. As for the Grey's episode, Cristina is on a rampage -- taking lattes and erasing names off the OR board. We recognize that this team between Cristina and Burke can only last for so long before it self implodes and something dies, like Bailey's ego. Derek's sister Nancy shows up...and we never see her again. Chief learns to sew a button back on his shirt. Izzie and Cristina are too consumed with their own lives, which makes them incapable of being George and Meredith's people. Cut to scene of George and Meredith in the elevator spewing "seriously's" and "McNastys". This was the only scene that made up for this crummy episode. Make sure to head on over to Itunes and leave a review! Don't forget to mention how Abbey and Bri are super organized and absolutely have their shit together.

Mercury is in retrograde. Technology is fucked. Communication is fucked. This episode is a great representation of it. (Which is why you're getting it a day early). Where do you bank? Are the tellers aliens? Do you have a safety security box? Do you put your beanie babies in it? How about dry ice, just so it’s spooky when you open it? Breakfast is different than muffins — classic first note. Whatever Izzie is cooking reflects what mental state she’s in. She’s making breakfast and heading into the hospital today, where she walks into an auditorium full of people talking about Denny’s case All this talk of Denny makes Bailey question herself. Callie is sleeping with Sloan. Burke’s not ok. Izzie’s not ok. Izzie is running around the hospital, when she should just be sent home. She doesn’t work there. This episode is a filler, and it sucks. Storylines need to be resolved in order to head into the next phase. Derek and Addison are finally divorced. Izzie gets inspired by Cristina and wants to become a surgeon again. We’re all bored. The most exciting part of this episode the patients who are stuck together during sex because of a penis piercing. Ouch. BUT pain brings pleasure! Except for this episode. All it brought was a lot of pain and an average 2 scalpel rating.

What is your favorite Pop-tart flavor? Do you like toaster strudels? Do you like planter pots showing up on your porch with rocks in them? Does any of this make sense? Probably not, so listen to this weeks episode of the On Call Room to understand what the hell any of this means. Other featured conversations include: PREGNANCY. Surprise surprise, Abbey and Bri have little to no insight on this topic. However, their very special guest has experienced it and has some great stories to tell. Not only does she have stories of labor and birth, but so many more! AND she wins most dedicated host, because she is phoning in on the telly all the way from bloody England! It is the middle of the night over there, but that doesn't stop Rosalind from knocking back a G & T and gabbing about Grey's. It is a classic Grey's opening scene. There is talk of an "adulterous love child", Meredith is puking, Mark Sloan is on staff now and a patient lights himself on fire by lighting a cigarette in a freaking hospital (idiot). Meredith is not pregnant, rather her appendix is about to burst; which leads to Meredith on pain meds, funniest version of Meredith ever. Finn is always creeping around a corner waiting for Meredith. Derek takes himself out of the running and tells Mer to choose Finn, except Meredith doesn't (of course). She does manage to embarrass herself in front of everyone though from being high off of pain meds. Once again, best version of Meredith ever. There is pregnant lady who wants to stick to her birth plan, cigarette man who no longer has a face (idiot), and Burke's tremor. Burke deserves an award for this performance, because his tremor is all over that screen, but don't worry "nobody needs to know". George bails on Callie at the last moment, which is no surprise and Izzie is a millionaire now which is actually, pretty surprising. You know what is not surprising? The girls scalpel ratings on this episode, or Donna leaving rocks on Bri's porch. To find out about those two things and everything in between hit play and have a listen!

This week on The On-Call Room Rachel drops over to chat about the episode, and with her she brings a lot of cheese. Spoiler Alert: Abbey is very effected by it. Between Abbey ghosting for a half hour and Bri talking about her period, there is plenty of TMI. If that makes you uncomfortable, perhaps skip this episode. Or don't because Rachel has some pretty great insight to balance them out. We open the episode with a dreamy sequence of Meredith in bed with Derek and Finn. Is a threesome your fantasy? It is not Rachel, Abbey, or Bri's fantasy (too many limbs, everyone is thinking about themselves, bags over heads). George is a child and does not communicate with Callie that he would prefer her to find her own place. She gets upset, and leaves for a hotel, where every single other character happens to be staying (McSteamy, Chief, Addison). Izzie stands outside the hospital this whole episode, waiting to gain the strength to go inside. Rachel is annoyed by it, because it is annoying. Bailey is fighting for Izzie to speak to the Chief, even though she committed a crime, WE KNOW WE KNOW get over it, but she should seriously not be allowed back in that hospital. Derek and Finn date Meredith, poorly. She has her freak out on the front porch saying she wants romance and butterflies and sexy things. Blah blah blah, door slam, and roommate time in bed. Classic ending to a Grey's episode. Three roommates eating ice cream in bed together. Pretty middle of the road rating on this episode. Hopefully next week we get a little more drama!

You're now listening to a Disney Channel Original Movie Podcast....not really, but practically seeing as Abbey and Bri talk at length about their favorite ones. Even Jake stops by for a moment to discuss his opinions. Spoiler Alert: He hates Luck of the Irish -- which is bullshit. Joining the girls to discuss the episode is Patron Lisa! She does an excellent job, even after panicking that she watched the wrong episode. Don't worry she didn't, Abbey and Bri just don't know how to use their wiki page. This episode produces one of Abbey's favorite moments, drunk Addison. We have all been there, unable to cry, looking for some booze or Lin-Manuel Miranda to get those tears started. Addison does just this, calling Miranda "Amanda" and asking Joe to send her home at 10 PM. She heads home, but that doesn't stop her from calling McSteamy to her room. Well played Addie. Izzie is baking too many muffins, finding a way to cope with her grief. Cristina is introduced to Burke's parents, while she is on top of him, in his hospital bed...in her red lingerie. Chief also walks in on Callie in HER underwear. Of course, they proceed to drink hot tea together. Chief and Callie would. Meredith is having to choose between Finn and Derek. She finally flips a coin at the end of the episode, which Cristina tells her is stupid. She calls them both to the bar and tells them she wants to date...both of them. They are down and as Bri states "To have such power!" The girls average a 6.5 scalpel rating on this episode. Not many GGB's but a few classic laughs helped the rating. Because who can resit Addison in a bucket hat?

It’s here! Season 3 premiere and it’s an emotionally loaded episode. The ladies are lucky enough to have Patron Alyssa scrubbing in with them, offering her insight as well. It’s the day before Abbey's 29th birthday and your leading ladies are coping with time. Have they peaked? When will they peak? 30? 60? Stick around for the next fourteen seasons of the podcast and maybe you’ll find out. Meanwhile, the intern gang is coping with Izzie laying on the bathroom floor in her prom dress after Denny died. Talk about GGBs. The girls talk about which intern they’d prefer to help pick them up from their grief. Spoiler alert: Abbey chooses Cristina and Bri chooses Meredith. There are trash babies, Shiva and plagues. George still can’t say “I love you” to Callie. Derrick wants to be with Meredith and what a surprise, so does Finn. Who will she choose? For your listening pleasure Abbey and Bri do an outro, writing their blockbuster hit about Bri’s neighbors. Spoiler alert: she is all of them, one soul in three bodies. If you don’t want to listen to a hilarious twenty minute examination of Bri’s life, turn off the podcast after Alyssa leaves. This might be our best work yet.

The episode is finally here. Season 2 finale. Who thought they would make it? No one. Neither did they. But here it is, and it's a goody. This episode has something for everyone! We have dirty mistress sex in an exam room. We have dead fiances. We have Prom! We have walking out and quitting your job (who doesn't want to do that -- envious of Izzie). Did we mention dirty mistress sex?? This whole episode takes place at Prom, everyone's literal Hell. Abbey and Bri exchange their Prom stories. What they wore, who they went with, who they left with! Feel left out? Send the gals your Prom pics so they can dissect your fashion choices from years ago. Who doesn't want that! Obviously this episode is rated very high, because GGB's, grasping to dead patients (Denny), and did we mention DIRTY MISTRESS SEX? Lucky for you listeners, not only did Abbey and Bri rate this current episode, but they rated all three parts of the Finale, AND the whole Season 2. It was a great season Grey's Babies. Up next Season 3! But before we head there, don't forget to head over to Patreon and support the podcast. Leave a review on Itunes and tell all your friends before they have too many episodes to binge listen to, and then it becomes more of an inconvenience than enjoyment. Thanks for a great first two seasons! Seriously.

It’s part two of the three part finale and this storyline continues to be just as terrifying. If this plot isn’t spooky enough for you, don’t worry Bri has an awesomely terrifying tale of her new neighbor. Spoiler Alert: there are conch shells, ginger roots and witchy spells. Bri is not amused. The ladies have their third patron Sonja on to discuss Izzies mental instability and Cristina’s failed emotional responses. She has great insight and will probably end up taking over the podcast. Burke needs Cristina to guide him in his choices and Adele throws down to Richard. Silly Richard thinking he got away with an affair for all these years, Spoiler Alert: he did not. Izzie goes bonkers and all the interns attempt to help fix what she messed up, mostly because they’re all probably afraid if they don’t she will attempt to murder all of them as well. This is an intense episode where literally everyone is breaking down. However, we finally get a resolution to the George and Meredith storyline which brings the only sense of relief in this whole episode. Thanks again to Sonja and all the other patrons for your support! Head on over the patreon, pledge your donation and be a cohost! Seriously. Seriously.

Who pees their pants? Answer: Everyone. Abbey and Bri spend way too much time sharing their most embarrassing stories of when they peed their pants last. Spoiler Alert: for Abbey it was last weekend. But that is not all they talk about this episode, although peeing while being airplaned, and loosing bladder control on a P Diddy yacht are epic stories, there are more important things to discuss.. This week on the podcast they have their first co-host call in from across the country! Lisa joins Abbey and Bri to dissect all the drama, and oh boy she does not disappoint! This episode of Grey's is the first episode in a three part horror film finale. Yes, horror film because Izzie loses her shit and should probably go to jail. She does her classic Izzie breakdown to Denny and forces him to go along with her ridiculous plan. Burke and Cristina are fighting, and then he gets shot, which is a major bummer. Addison and Derek are also fighting because Addison realizes that Derrick actually loves Meredith. She proceeds to scream about it in front of the whole hospital, another horrific moment in this episode. Lisa defends Derek and Addison and teaches Abbey and Bri a new fan phrase, Addek. Lisa also previously wrote Grey's fanfiction, which will obviously need to be shared with The On Call Room listeners.

Welcome to another episode of The On-Call Room where jokes are taken too far, and everyone ends up uncomfortable. Bri names Abbey's vagina Judge Judy and Abbey calls out to fellow listeners to name Bri's. Why are they naming their vaginas? Because they can. This is the first episode where all the patients revolve around one story line. That along with the soundtrack this episode lends for an emotional ride and provides Abbey and Bri with plenty of content. They delve deep into what forgiveness looks like, how to be there for others and "holding space". Don't worry there are plenty of laughs in between their emotional discussion!

Scrubbing in this episode is avid Greys Anatomy and The On Call Room fan Lindsey Hansen! She's our first Resident of Patreon to have on the podast! (Remember - if you are a $10 or more supporter on patreon you can co-host!) She brings great insight and great fashion advice (spoiler alert: turtlenecks with vests). Heads up, this is a long intro. It is about an hour but there’s plenty to discuss including but not limited to; what to do during a fire or tornado, anxiety with going to the movies and favorite gas station snacks. Karev joins the Gyni squad, George is still pissed at Mer and Izzie continues to “cross the line” with Denny. Bailey is being mommy tracked by Chief, which the three ladies agree is bull shit. Burke operates on his favorite musical artist, which allows for Cristina and him to learn more about each other. If you’re new to Grey's Anatomy, make sure to turn of the podcast after the three rate the episode because SPOILER ALERTS!
