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

All the GGB's this episode! Both Abbey and Bri cried during this episode, and it makes perfect sense because the Mom who played Beatrice this episode, is the mom in Ladybird. Shout out Laurie Metcalf for giving all the GGB's in every one of your performances. Abbey went to Hamilton again this weekend, and felt like this time she could truly appreciate it. That is because she has spent most of her time listening to the soundtrack, and could probably recite all the lines. She also ate a lot of seafood, couldn't get drunk, and watched her best friend and husband slowly disintegrate over a bottle of red wine. Bri slowly disintegrated herself this weekend, as one of her best friends surprised her with a visit from New York. They brunched multiple times, drank too many mimosas, had a sleepover and the ultimate dance party. Both of their weekends were filled with laughter and excitement, separate from each other, so you know there was bound to be some FOMO. This episode got rated pretty high on the Scalpel Scale, probably because of the tears. Let's be honest sometimes it feels incredible to have a good cry, and Grey's sure knows how to provide. Bailey is being mommy tracked, but is still capable of being a damn good surgeon, even with her increase of estrogen. George brings the emotions, when he stops Thatcher from running into Meredith. It is in these moments that we see how good George truly is. Even when pissed at Meredith, he is still capable of protecting her. He also finds Callie in her hospital basement apartment, which do not even make us go there. It is a ridiculous plot, and there is no excuse for it. Cristina is super competitive and Chief...well Chief is still Chiefin it up. Speaking of competitions, in the beginning of the episode did Burke REALLY not know Cristina was trying to explain Madonna??

Do you have any superstitions? Step on a crack break your mothers back, find a penny pick it up all day long you’ll have good luck, or astrology, or healing crystals? Listeners it’s time to lean in because that’s what this whole episode is about. And Abbey and Bri want to know your deepest, darkest superstition. They start this episode with talk of movies, because it’s award season! The Golden Globes are over and they have a lot to say, and don’t worry the Oscars are coming in hot! What will your purgatory be? Bri’s is hip hop night and Abbey's is a party bus. Is purgatory superstitious? Who knows but it fits with the theme! What will you do when the world is ending? Bri and Abbey talk in depth about their plans and seek to find anyone’s thoughts on what their plan may be. Don’t worry they will still podcast at worlds end. We find out Chief is an alcoholic, Addison is referred to as the She-Sheppard, and there’s a whole bunch of ju-ju. Alex starts locker room shit because he’s emotionally stunted. Denny and Izzie take their relationship to a next level with a blinds open kiss. They get some GGBs with the songs that are in this episode. It feels like a classic Greys episode, maybe because it’s the first time we hear “How to Save a Life”.

There is plenty of holiday recall and Grey’s banter. George cuts his hair, thank God. We have sad Addison who seeks playful flirtation with her patients husband, and Cristina wishes she still had her old apartment. Meredith apologizes to George in the elevator and it’s pretty lame, but Derek recognizes he had hurt Addison and wins apologies. Denny, Izzie, and Karev are in a love triangle.

This episode gets its lowest scalpel rating yet, but the dialogue may be the best ever. On the episode this week we have special guest Dr. Annie Bishop scrubbing in, a chiropractor and forever friend of Abbey and Bri. This is the episode we have all been dreading, where Meredith and George have sex. So, don’t worry these three ladies refuse to talk about much of the actual episode. There’s talk of their boyfriends fashion, there are spells cast, and notes attempted to be sung. And even though this isn’t a favorite episode there’s plenty of conversation of characters, new and old. Callie is introduced finally, Denny shows up again, and chief is trolling the hospital. We still have some Bailey teaching moments, and we see one of the first scenes where Meredith and Karev connect. It always brings new insight into the series when a new voice speaks to an episode, so we thank you Annie for all you contributed. Even if this episode was dull, we managed to record our longest one yet!

Holidays! Thankfulness! Christmas Trees! We’re headed into the holiday swing, recording around Christmas Trees and reflecting on the past weekend. Bri talks about meeting all of her boyfriends friends at Friendsgiving with an IBS spell, and Abbey and Bri talk about the best Thanksgiving celebration with Jake’s family. This episode is just as epic as the past two, in different ways. We are introduced to two new characters. Ladies and gentleman, Mark Sloan is in the house and he joins Meredith in the "Dirty Mistress Gang". We also meet Thatcher, Meredith’s dad who can’t seem to ever say the right thing. Cristina knows how to have a private dance party, and pulls Burke right in. This is a classic favorite scene, and both Bri and Abbey are thrilled by it. At the end of the episode we have one of the most cringe worthy scenes in all of Grey’s history. Meredith and George...do it. It’s hard to even comprehend and Abbey and Bri struggle to even talk about it. The ladies are still struggling with sound, they need a new microphone, so they apologize, but you should all donate to them damnit!

Abbey is broken this episode. She recently did a walkabout in New York City to fulfill her dream of seeing the original cast of Dear Evan Hanson on Broadway, and now all she can think about is the musical. Don’t be shocked when most of this episode is consumed by the theater, including Abbey and Bri writing a biographical play based on memes. You heard it here first, just wait for it to hit Broadway. Bri’s sister welcomes twins, and she couldn’t be more happy for the family. She also hears her neighbors fornicating whilst in the bathroom, ultimately interrupting her “me” time. This is part 2 of the bomb episode and it’s just as epic as part 1. The girls respond to Meredith’s monologue about what they would do if they knew they were going to die. They question why Bailey’s son goes by Tucker, even though that’s not his name, and rate this just as high as the last. These two bomb episodes are classic Grey's and do not disappoint Abbey and Bri, leaving a 10 scalpel rating for the two combined. It’s the highest yet, so you know it’s good!

You’re leading ladies are back in action, after a short leave of absence. We apologize for the delay but Bri was having a birthday and Abbey’s mind has been consumed by Broadway. In this episode we find out what happened to Rodman, who Bri’s boyfriend is or isn’t, and what actress would play each of them in a performance about their lives. Bri gives her highest rating of scalpels to date on this episode, as Abbey follows suit. Let’s face it, this is the most epic episode we’ve seen in Grey’s, because bombs, and feelings that we might die today. Bailey needs a new vagina, Chief is stressed about a quiet board, Derrick and Preston can’t use each other’s names, and BOMBS. Again, this episode is epic so sit back and listen to Abbey and Bri give a play by play. There’s no other way!

HAPPY SURPRISE BIRTHDAY BRI! From family members to podcast listeners this is The On-Call Room's way of letting you know just how loved you are. Happy Birthday you goddamn queen. We love you so much. THANK YOU to all of the listeners who I reached out to for sending in a birthday message for our favorite gal. I messaged each and every one of you - but since we aren't all FB friends it probably went into your spam folder. If you feel like leaving Bri a birthday message feel free to do so in the listener group now that it's not a secret anymore! JOIN HERE: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theoncallroom/ We promise we'll have a new episode for you shortly, in the meantime thank you for this community. We love you so much.

This week on the podcast we talk more about musicals than anything having to do with Grey's Anatomy. Bri has a cold so don't mind how often they stop and go, it's just part of the creative process! Wyn joins the gals this week and knows nothing about Greys, but quickly picks up on how important and godly Derek Shepherd's hair is. We finally have the iconic Meredith in a closet scene - and Abbey tries to keep everyone on track because she had some serious GGB's and needed to let everyone know. Listen a long and please send out some good vibes for our podcast editor as well as Bri's sinuses. Don't forget to subscribe on iTunes and leave a review!

Welcome back to your favorite Grey’s Anatomy podcast with your two favorite hosts who struggle with technology. Yes ladies and gentlemen, Abbey deleted the first recording of this episode. So, take a listen to an epic cold open of uncontrollable laughter at their failures. Abbey compares Bri to the patient Ms. Larson because she’s all done up, her shoulders are out, she can’t stop singing, and scarves over lamps. Spoiler alert: all of Bri’s lamps are covered with scarves (it looks really good guys). Cristina tells off Shepard in defense of her #1 Meredith, while Burke invites Meredith over for dinner. Needless to say Cristina is weirded out. Watching Cristina shove hot dogs in her mouth is Bri’s spirit animal and Abbey and Bri agree that only Cristina could eat hot dogs that way without it being even slightly sexual. Bailey delivers another teaching moment as she is 47 months pregnant, but sees all, hears all, and will be back. The interns stare uncomfortably, Abbey and Bri give it two thumbs up. Remember to leave a review on iTunes, otherwise Abbey might shame you. It’s loving shame though, because you listeners are the best!

Welcome back to this week's episode of Hamilton. I mean, The On-Call Room. It gets confusing as the women are completely immersed in the epic musical and can't stop singing it. Bri hasn't received any texts all day so she resorts to looking up Shrek memes. What she finds is terrifying. Shrek. Is. Everywhere. Literally. Somebody once told me... Bri and Abbey are both inspired by the words of patient, Mauer Paskowitz ... "Lying here in this flesh prison I reach a grim conclusion that I'm a failure." This will become their new mantra (while being bedridden from hangovers). Bailey drops truth bombs on an airplane with an off-the-clock Cristina and Burke wants to know things. Which is #thebestboyfriendever. Meredith has a dog. Derek likes dogs. Then things get a little spooky ... because Bri's ceiling tiles contain the paranormal. Bri and Abbey also spend a really overwhelmingly long time discussing the belts of the early 2000s. It's not a good look. If you care about us, tweet @itsjeaninemason one of Season 14's newest interns and let her know about the show! We are dying to have her as a guest. #plzandthankyou SHREK --> http://www.cetusnews.com/life/Literally-Just-24-Shrek-Posts-That-No-One-Ever-Asked-For.r1cGWP6lN4sZ.html SHREK + WINDOWS SOUNDS --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03UsitcsLq4 BIG BELT FASHION --> https://www.bustle.com/articles/157518-11-enormous-belts-everyone-owned-in-the-early-2000s-photos

IT'S CHRISTMAS! Well, at least in the On Call Room world. This is our first Christmas episode and it delivers. First and foremost Bri burned down her house because she woke up to a spider in her bed. She's looking for a new home, message her on Instagram. Cristina is Jewish, Burke is surprised and spiritual, Karev is dirty Uncle Sal, and Bailey has a teaching moment with her unborn child. Derek rocks an iPod and clip on cell phone AND loves Meredith. Yes folks, you heard it first, Derek tells Addison it wasn't just a fling with our leading lady. Shock factor 100%. Karev is studying for his exam that he failed and all the interns pitch in, including a weepy Izzie (because that's what Jesus would FREAKING do). The holiday spirit penetrates Abbey and Bri as they talk favorite Christmas carols, favorite Christmas movies, and their preferred aesthetics for Christmas decorations. So, pour yourself some egg nog, or Rumchata and hit play and get down with that holiday boogey.

It's finally here. What we've been waiting for...for months, and your hosts are less than impressed, but damn do they have some opinions. Bri hates on Owen Hunt again, because he's the worst. Abbey wants tears and emotions, she wants GGB's and is sadly disappointed. The two of them reminisce about old characters, who current characters used to be, and wonder maybe, JUST MAYBE they're too immersed in previous Grey's to appreciate where we've come. They both agree Bailey crushed it and her and Meredith are the only two characters keeping them going. Don't worry though, they write the end of the series, and if Shonda takes any advice from these two avid fans we will end on a win. They encourage you to challenge their opinions on the newest episode and if you disagree, speak on it! They'll value your thoughts, but probably won't change their minds.

Happy Tuesday listeners! Bri and Abbey are back this week and they are literally so full that they can't shut up about how much food they consumed prior to recording and how hot they are. Sorry not sorry. Despite it being sort of boring episode (spoiler alert: Bri rates it 2 scalpels) they still find things to talk about for over an hour per usual. Bri tells an extremely exciting story about how she is teaming up with her neighborhood cat-team to rescue a runaway cat named Rodman. The ending of the story is not as satisfying as you'd hope. The girls discuss what Izzy was talking about when she wanted her friends to be there for her - and for once they are on Izzy's side. Girls must support each other - and not be condescending when they get hurt by snakes. They also talk about Olivia's waste of a character, weird video game music in the show and Mere getting a dog! Last but not least you'll be treated to Abbey reciting her favorite scene of The Grinch. It's weird. We know.

It's just another day in Grey's Anatomy paradise where Abbey and Bri talk all your favorite scenes, characters, and problematic penises from the episode. Abbey and Bri both had epic weekends, filled with booze, essential oils in wrong parts of the body, swollen feet that turned to numb feet, and sweating profusely. As always they catch up and invite, you the listener, into their lives. This episode involved Steve who can't lose his boner, Alex cheating (big surprise), Cristina being keyed, Burke tossing out ultimatums, and patients drinking from toilets. Sounds like a lot right? Well don't you worry Grey's babies Abbey and Bri tackle it all. And just for hellsies they even throw in breaking the stigma of suppositories. Intrigued are you? Well hit play and find out for yourself! And when you're done head on over to leave a review. You won't be sorry you did.
