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

It is here. The big one. Season 3 is finally over and Abbey and Bri are shocked they've actually made it this far through the series. Special guest Kelsi scrubs in this week and has knowledge Abbey and Bri could not even attempt to fake. She is a PA in a southern California emergency room (THE PIT) and damn good at her job, obvi. THIS EPISODE IS ICONIC. It feels pretty boring through the first half but once it picks up momentum boy oh boy, it does not disappoint. We find out who Chief does and does not name to take his place. We see Meredith struggling to find peace in her relationship with Derek. Ava moves away (thank God). Izzie is stilllll pinning for George. Callie wants a baby. Addison is leaving. And then..... Burke leaves Cristina at the alter. After practicing his vows in the OR to every drooling woman, he waits for a panicked Cristina to make it down the aisle. She has lost her eyebrows and she has lost her vows and cannot seem to meet Burke where he is at. Burke realizes he does not actually love Cristina, he loves the woman he thinks she will become. And just like that he is gone. Cristina and Meredith stand together in a still fully furnished apartment and know that she is finally free. Is this good or bad? There are extreme hysterics, Ingrid Michaelson is playing and Meredith cuts Cristina free from the restraints of her wedding dress, holding her close. Where will Cristina go from here? Are Mer and Der over, so over? Is Callie going to have George's baby? Will Bailey recover from the loss of Chief Resident? All that and more on Season 4 of The On Call Room!

This week we have a man's perspecitve! That's right listeners, if you want to know what a guy thinks of Grey's Anatomy look no further than to this episode. JD gives his insight into not only this weeks episode, but everything Grey's has to offer, you won't want to miss it. It has finally arrived, the moment the interns have worked for, exam day. In true Grey's fashion there are multiple distractions taking place throughout the episode, so it's pretty obvious someone is about to fuck it all up. Cristina is being harassed by Burke because tomorrow is wedding day. As Abbey points out why in the world would they choose to have their wedding the day after an exam, and why can't Burke just leave Cristina alone? Doesn't he understand this is the biggest day of her life thus far! Meredith is getting ready to go to Susan's funeral, when Thatcher arrives and pretty much emotionally slaps her in the face again. He tells her he doesn't want her at the funeral, which leads to Meredith blank starring throughout her whole test. Luckily, Chief gives her a second shot. George is moving to Mercy West, which has Izzie all up in her head. The love triangle continues. Karev is still loving on Ava. Beyond that, Callie crushes four surgeries putting herself in the running for Chief Resident. Adele shows up to the hospital and passes out in the bathroom, and they find the fourth climber from the mountain story line-- which at this point seems irrelevant. NEXT WEEK IS SEASON FINALE!

This week on the On Call Room the elusive and lovely Johnny K stops by to chat with Abbey and Bri. He provides some insight into his feelings of Grey's anatomy. Spoiler Alert: he thinks Callie is very beautiful and claims M.A.S.H as his favorite hospital drama show....pretty rude seeing as he was on a Grey's Anatomy podcast. This is part 2 of the mash-up episode and is focused on Seattle Grace hospital, so if you haven't listened to Part 1, STOP push pause go listen to last weeks episode. Unless, you don't give a shit about Private Practice and Oceanside Wellness, then just continue listening to this current episode. Cristina wakes up to the mother's invading her apartment. That's right folks it is wedding planning time! This provides the viewers with some humor, as Cristina is obviously super uncomfortable. She's a good sport though, trying on puffy sleeved dresses and asking people to be her bridesmaids. Spoiler Alert: The bridesmaids dresses are absolutely hideous--however to be fair, aren't all bridesmaids dresses hideous? Susan Grey gets the hiccups, which long story short she dies. Which is weird and super uncommon, cause...it's the hiccups. Regardless, it is all terrible and sad and then Thatcher slaps Meredith....which is also pretty messed up. She will be unpacking that one for quite sometime. Alex and Ava are still being Alex and Ava *eye roll*. George and Izzie are still being George and Izzie *eye roll*.

Welcome to another TWO PARTER of The On Call Room. We are nearing the end of season 3 and with the Emmy's coming in hot, Abbey and Bri decided to do their own award show. The first official GGB Awards will take place after season 3. If you want to place a vote, visit www.patreon.com/theoncallroom and donate a minimum of $2 a month. Ask to join the facebook listener squad, and cast your vote on the google forum. This episode is part one of a two part episode. Abbey and Bri have split the podcast into two episodes. This week they discuss Oceanside Wellness in LA where Addison goes to visit. Addison wants a baby. Wow. She visits her friend Naomi, a fertility specialist, and after an emotional roller coaster finds out she only has two eggs left. Through this process she embarrases herself in an elevator, delivers a baby, looses her mind in an elevator, tells of a group of patients, cries, breaks down in a stairwell, and kisses the new character Pete. We also meet the staff of Oceanside Wellness who will become the cast of Private Practice. We have Pete the naturopath, who is potentially the dark and twisty man. We have Cooper who is a pediatrician and is dating inappropriate women. Violet is the psychologist who is trying to get over her ex love. Sam and Naomi own the practice, are Addison's old friends, and recently got divorced. Among all these new characters, we also have multiple patients. It makes for a difficult two episodes to process. These mash-ups episodes are hard for the viewer. Pilots are hard for the viewer. Loosing Addison from Grey's is also, hard for the viewer.

This week on The On Call Room we have penis jokes, lots of them. Respect. Why was this episode even an episode? Abbey and Bri explore how many more storylines Grey’s can shove into a season, mirroring the Izzie and George saga. How about we write an episode about a dude who has a penis fish and is cheating on his wife? Perfect. Cristina is avoiding planning this wedding. Burke wants and needs her to pick a flavor of a cake, because to him this means the marriage will work. She chooses the Red Velvet and then they make out. Side note, if you’re having a hard time getting Abbey’s attention, just make out with her. Addison and Karev finally have sex. Mer and Der are fighting. She tries to communicate with him all day, but actually ends up telling him what she is having for lunch, not actually how she is feeling. Derek responds with he can’t keep breathing for her, and he doesn’t know if he wants to try, only AFTER they have sex. Cool.

This week on The On Call Room special guest Lesley scrubs in with Abbey and Bri. She is living in New York with her cat and brought five pages of notes to discuss this week’s episode. Karev continues to be inappropriate with Ava. She finally had some face work done, so it is a little less difficult to look at her, thank you Mark Sloan. George and Izzie continue to be on the rocks, when someone from Izzie’s past shows up. Yes, Izzie has a child and she is sick. The parent’s ask Izzie to donate bone marrow to help save “Hannah’s” life. This all presents itself at a difficult time for Izzie, when she can’t go to her person George and confides in Bailey instead. This storyline bodes for great drama, but is LITERALLY NEVER spoken of again. This is pretty frustrating. Chief is spitting his Chief wisdom at Derek and saying he can’t do both and he is looking out for Meredith. Well Chief, you fucked up because now Derek is all nervy about being with Mer because chiefdom is his ultimate desire. Susan shows up and will not leave. This is annoying because she has literally never been a part of Meredith’s life. Now that Ellis is dead she is playing mommy and if you ask us, that is bull shit. However, by the end of the episode Mer leans into her fake mommy and finds appreciation for what Susan is attempting to do.

This week on The On Call Room Abbey and Bri do hand claps. Do you remember? Ms.Suzie had a steamboat, the steamboat had a bell DING DING! Now you do. We're not sorry about it. More importantly, we have the lovely Chloe scrubbing in for the discussion of this weeks episode! She has great insight, and lives in Tornado Valley. Spoiler Alert: She has never actually seen a tornado. We have bone lady. Every time you touch her, she forms another bone. It is terrifying, or perhaps what is more terrifying is a high pitched speaking Elisabeth Moss as your daughter who places your hand in an awkward pose to help build an incredibly terrifying doll house that travels with you everywhere you go. Which is worse? You decide. The race for Chief is on. Addison talks herself up in the mirror. Colin Marlow has a ten year plan, and "tweaks for the hospital". Mark has a right now plan, and wins over the board. Obviously, he steals this idea from a Bailey teaching moment. George is hung as F*** and has to meet Callie's Dad. While he is out to lunch at Joe's Bar (the only place anyone goes in Seattle) he remembers his nighttime frolics with Izzie. Poor timing. George pulls Izzie into a storage closet and they dance around. It is decided they are not going to tell Callie. Honesty is not the best policy in this episode.

This week on the On Call Room Izzie and George make a huge mistake, Cristina and Meredith are avoiding people in closets, and attendings are fighting in the hallways of the hospital. Chief invites in the renowned surgeon Dr. Colin Marlow who just happens to be Cristina's old professor...who she happened to do the dirty dirty with...for three years. Burke is put off and all the attendings are showboating. Derek performs open heart surgery and Mark does face surgery on Ava causing her cervix to blow up. Susan Grey is trying to mommy Meredith and is showing up everywhere. She forces herself over for dinner with Thatcher. Derek comes along and even though Alex crashes the feast it doesn't make the situation any less awkward. George and Callie get in a big fight and he calls her curvy "face to palm". George heads over to Izzie's with a fifth and demands they drink together because he needs to be convinced he should have married Callie. They drink all the alcohol and Izzie wakes up with George naked next to her in her bed, implying they banged it out. Whoops. How are they going to get out of this mess??

Welcome back to the three part story about main characters drowning and hospital purgatory. This week on the podcast Abbey and Bri explore all of the other storylines that took place over the Ferry Boat Massacre. Come follow along won’t you? Izzie is back in the surgical game after drilling ‘Aaron’ Burr holes in a man’s head. She is a #rockstar except for when she gives her let us stay positive speech. She sees the good in everything, and she believes Meredith is going to make it, she also believes George’s marriage was a sham. Can anyone say timing? NOT NOW IZZIE REEL IT IN! Cristina is buying dollar store junk, coping with Meredith dying. As the viewer we realize Cristina is unable to be there for people, until she knows everything is going to be ok. Derek is breaking down, rightfully so. His lover is dying. He rushes to Meredith’s mother’s room and strokes her hair awkwardly. Then Ellis dies. Although it may seem as though intense head stroking was the cause of death, it clearly is her current heart condition that does her in. Important note: Derek did not kill Ellis, although he may have wanted to. Karev is already crossing boundaries with smooshed face lady. More to come with that… We round out the three part episode with extreme GGB’s. Unkle Bob’s “Swans” plays in the background as Denny and Izzie brush up to one another. Each of them in another dimension, so close they can almost touch, but yet so far away. And then come the tears, and they don’t stop even after the credits roll. Can you even imagine with the rating for these episodes are going to be?? Hit play and find out!

Ladies and gentlemen of The On Call Room, boy do we have some episodes for you! It is a two part episode discussing three episodes. Confused? So are we, but there is a lot packed into this epic story line of Ferry Boat murder, so your hosts dedicated two whole episodes to this plot. On part one this week we discuss Meredith’s storyline. Doesn’t everyone remember Britney Spears music video, “Every time” where she is drowning in a bathtub? Shortly after this was released Britney shaved her head and ran around smashing cars with an umbrella. Similarly, Meredith was floating under water a little too long in the tub, and at the end of the episode she shaves her head and smashes a car with an umbrella. Not really, but she ACTUALLY does drown. I am not sure which is worse. Derek of course jumps in the water swims her to shore (we don’t get to actually see him swim her to shore, because logistically that would have been super difficult) and perform CPR on her. He gets shoved in a hall with Mark and cries, and then angrily strokes Ellis’s hair and blames her for Meredith’s breakdown. Meanwhile, Meredith dies. No really, she dies and is in hospital purgatory with bomb squad and Denny trying to figure out why she “didn’t swim”. She’s running around trying to save Bonnie from bleeding out and crying about never seeing Derek again. Ellis shows up, gives her big hugs and tells her “she is anything but ordinary”. They encourage her to run towards the light, where Cristina is waiting for her. She awakes and has no brain damage. It is a miracle. Stay tuned for next week’s episode where Abbey and Bri dissect every other story line in this three part ferry boat massacre.

This week on The On Call Room Bri has Pancetta in her pants, or up her butt and around the corner. Abbey had a great few days visiting friends and bats. She played ding-dong-ditch and swam in salty pools whilst drinking bubbly teas. Cristina isn't allowed to assist Burke in surgery until she gives him an answer on his proposal. It didn't take Callie long to respond to George, seeing as they arrive to the hospital after marrying in Vegas. The Denny Duquette Memorial Clinic has opened and Bailey is familiarizing everyone with its protocol. Izzie is on the prowl for some patients who will provide her meaning. She misses the boat with a little girl who needs guidance from a woman. Bailey, in classic Bailey fashion has a brilliant teaching moment to the little girl and her father. Ellis is lucid and proves to be an actual demon when she calls Meredith "nothing but ordinary." Ouch. We can tell as the viewer that this is going to plague Meredith and stick with her for sometime. She calls out her Mom on why she is ordinary, not the exact quote but she basically tells her Mom it was because she is a demon. The most epic story line of this episode is toxic blood lady who makes everyone sick and pass out when they open her in surgery. The interns have to swoop in and save the day by putting weird bubble wrap on her exposed stomach. She lives and so do all the doctors. Abbey and Bri agree that this is where Grey's starts to get good. Classic. They rate it around 7 scalpels. Solid rating.

First and foremost Dennis Quaid is back, safe in the arms of love. Bri is grateful to everyone who wished, prayed, or sent out positive vibes for his safe return. It worked! In other news, Bri went to Florida. PSA: Florida is not cool when it rains the whole time and people don't let you on an air boat ride. If you are looking to vacation somewhere and do not intend on going to Disney World probably just don't ever go to Florida. As for this weeks episode it is Part 2 of George's breakdown. A lot goes down with Harold. First he is outputting enough pee, then his breathing-tube gets a kink in it, and ultimately he ends up loosing the fight. His body goes into multi-system organ failure and he dies. George leaves the hospital in a hurry and Cristina gives an epic speech about being in the "Dead Dad's Club". Other story lines include: Meredith finding out her Dad also snores. Izzie is unapologetic to Bailey for being an emotional doctor. Addison kisses Karev. Burke and Cristina are still not talking. Derek manages to get some sleep with wax earplugs. Spoiler Alert After Abbey and Bri discuss this weeks episode they call time of death and discuss the Season 14 finale! So, if you are all caught up on Grey's and sad this years season is over, don't you fret, your leading ladies give their initial reactions. Their discussion is rated somewhere between dead man left in a shed to Arizona and Callie potentially falling back in love. You decide!

Welcome to another episode of The On-Call Room where the wine is flowing and the tears are plentiful. Why the tears? Not because of GGB's, but because of live theater "Hamilton" and stolen cars. Yes, you read that correctly. Bri's car has been stolen this week, and she is having some feels. Important edit of the podcast : Dennis Quaid has been found, dreams really do come true. As for this weeks episode, it is part one of two. George's Dad is getting ready for surgery, and demands that all his tumor be taken out no matter what shape his body is in. Chief agrees, which feels very out of character for Chief. Regardless, they finish the surgery without George having any say. We can only imagine this will lead to some shit in Part 2. Cristina and Burke are not speaking because they are both stubborn mules. Cristina tries to get multiple members of the staff to inquire and gain information about the state of Burke's hand, but Burke sees right through it. He doesn't give it up, leaving Cristina in the dark. Izzie finally cashes her check from Denny. This is the last step she needs to accomplish before she is allowed to start performing surgery again. Perhaps she will get to perform surgery on the patient who has a super messed up spine? Meredith admits to having abandonment issues when she finds out Derek has not been sleeping next to her due to her obnoxious snoring. We get why she has these issues as Thatcher roams the halls of the hospital like a lost puppy. His character is the epitome of a Magoo. For all you listeners who enjoy the theater, specifically Hamilton, after the episode Abbey and Bri have a bonus section where they talk about the show. Bri recently saw it in Chicago and gives a rave review! 10 scalpels! All should see it, and all should listen to Abbey and Bri drool over what an amazing experience it was. However, if the theater doesn't strike your fancy (shame on you) then go ahead and turn off the podcast after the first time of death.
