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

It’s a New Year and a New On Call Room Podcast! Abbey and Bri have started a Patreon account and are so excited for this opportunity of developing the show and providing quality content to the best listeners. If you’re interested in donating please follow the link in the bio. This is the second attempt at this episode because, whoops Mercury is in Retrograde and they lost their original version of this episode. No worries though this redo may be better than the first. 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. Izzie makes up her mind that she’s no longer with Karev, and the Denny love blossoms. Even if you’re not looking to donate to the podcast, please just visit the patreon page!

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.

We're back after a long holiday weekend and have hit 6800 listens! Make sure to leave a review and subscribe so we can hit a K because if we do Abbey has agreed to provide cake. This episode is full of Thanksgiving cheer, which is appropriate as we head into fall. Abbey claims Izzie as her Grey's holiday spirit animal because she likes to keep everyone happy, and Bri claims Cristina as her's because she likes to get drunk. George is actually pretty funny and tolerable this episode and Burke is a pretty cool guy as well, saving the holiday with his mad cooking skills and poignant turtleneck. Shot gun workup: vegetable guy. His story is kind of a drag, especially over the holiday. He's our only patient this episode, and spoiler alert: he dies. Meredith and Derek say goodbye for the 15th time, and we can only assume Addison and Derek finally do it. At the end of the episode it's pretty obvious Meredith is going to get it on with some random as well. All and all this episode gained a decent scalpel rating, because let's face it who doesn't love the holidays!

Scrubbing in with us this week is the infamous username "Iheartjoshhutcherson" Natalie Marcus! She's a joy to have on the podcast, and quite frankly, a joy to be around in general. Bri has finally moved, and tells her story of smudging her new apartment, coping with the move, and finally settling in. Natalie is visiting Abbey from Wisconsin, and Abbey is shooting yoga classes and ladies in their skivvies. The three of them waste no time pouring wine and chatting their favorite characters. They do a quick shotgun work up of the patients in this episode, agreeing four patients is too many. The ladies talk about the poor mans Derek, question what they would do if they were put in Sav's position, get annoyed by George (obviously), reiterate that Izzie is too emotional, and feel all the GGB's for Derek and Meredith in the final scene. The characters are finally developing and perhaps a new storyline is on it's way! Jumanji is mentioned again, because it deserves a special place in everyone's heart. Things are about to shift at Seattle Grace Hospital and we can't wait to chat about what comes next! Also, WARNING there are a few spoiler alerts this episode, so if you don't want to hear them just remember to hit fast forward.

It's just another morning where Abbey and Bri drink coffee, and talk about your favorite show Grey's Anatomy. This week on the podcast Abbey and Bri spend a lot of time mentally preparing for the end of summer, and the transition into the next seasons (winter is coming). It's important to process aloud the inevitable weight gain and hibernation that's about to take place. Bri's favorite line in this episode is "great board chief" and makes sure she says it too many times. There's also pregnant man that looks like Ellen Degeneres, fire in body cavities, and a flirting Meredith who may or may not portray drunkenness and flirting in the same way. A big kiss at the end of the episode gets them excited, but not quite enough to rate the episode higher than last week. There's quite a bit of spoiler alerts at the end of the episode, so if you're a Grey's newbie you may want to save that portion for a later date. For you veterans take a listen and post your feedback!

This week on The On Call Room there is finally a huge emergency, a train wreck. Not only is there a physical train wreck (pole people), but Meredith is a metaphorical train wreck, as she is wasted. This storyline pairs well with the amount of wine Abbey and Bri were drinking. Bri starts a new segment about fashion, so you'll want to tune in for that, because...fashion. The two of them go live for the first time while recording to answer the classic childhood game "kill, fuck, marry". There's some debate on which to choose, so make sure to scream your answer at the podcast while you listen. Some other topics include but are not limited to: missing legs, douche on a pole, banana bags, cool DJs, and surprises/surprise parties.

Disclaimer: We understand that our sound situation is less than ideal. Please forgive us and if it really bothers you - please donate more microphones. Is that too forward? We don't care. This week on The On-Call Room we are #blessed to be graced with our dear friend Reva Oleszczuk - who knows nothing of Grey's Anatomy. Nevertheless her insight is *pause* decent and appreciated. The beginning of this episode gets really in-depth with vaginas, boobs and everything buttholes. We are rated explicit for a reason. Also - she's an esthetician. We talk about porn guy, friend zone George, cheating Addison and scaredy-cat Karev. We also FINALLY get to hear our favorite and most iconic line, "Pick me, choose me, love me." by Meredith. Many GGBs were had. And we can't thank Reva enough for flying in from Portland to be on our podcast. (She did not fly in for a family wedding - she was only here to record.)

It's a million degrees so Abbey and Bri are recording in the basement this episode. They're both struggling, but they power through somehow managing to form opinions on their favorite characters. This is one of Bri's favorite episodes, although after dissecting it realizes she only likes one scene. Abbey is super impressed with Ellis Grey's acting abilities, as is Bri, especially when she looks like the alien from Signs. Other fun facts: Bri forgot to put on underwear, Abbey has a tattoo that's backwards, and Burke is wearing a gold turtleneck. They've upped the scalpel scale to 10, so make sure you listen and find out what the two of them rate this weeks!

After a massive storm hitting their city Abbey is left without power and the two are recording at Bri's house in the sweltering heat. Because when you podcast - you must shut all the windows and turn off all the fans. The two girls laugh over Dr. Burke's strange non-face-facial-expression and get major GGB's over his relationship with Christina and the way Bailey steps up to the plate in this episode. The girls discuss why it's so frustrating to not have control over your life and Abbey wishes the universe would stop pushing this message on her - SHE GETS IT. Bri also gets to read the custom poem that was made for her and the two reflect on how incredibly beautiful it is. Make sure you check out our Instagram to see the real re-enactment of Dr. Burke's face. Thanks for listening - we love you!

Ladies and gentleman it's summertime and your leading ladies are recording in the morning, and be prepared because they've got their NPR voices on. Spoiler alert: they should never be on a morning radio show. Bri grasps the whole episode theme and Abbey is not feeling it. What is enough? Is it enough? When is enough? This episode explores everything enough. Patients are swallowing Judy dolls, Bailey is pulling the long play teaching moment, and Karen flirts with breaking HIPAA. George takes a beating from every character, but we love him anyway. Also, the episode title is a Barbra Streisand song, and Bri is ecstatic, because Babs is a Queen (both Barbra and Bri). Grab your coffee, add some Kahlua, and hit play!

It's here! Your leading ladies are back at it again! Season 2 starts off with a bang, literally. Bri talks about how she was in the midst of a hostage situation and Abbey is practically being held hostage by wedding season. The two play who's life sucks the most, SPOILER ALERT, Bri wins. They also waste no time diving into the deep question, what happens when you die? And where the hell did Joe the bartender go during the 45 minutes he was "dead"? Abbey and Bri are excited to dissect all their favorite characters again, and thrilled that this episode finally offers an iconic scene. They are right back into their banter and are feeling all the GGB's!

Bri and Abbey are here with another inadequate bonus episode to keep you invested until Season Two aires. In this episode we finally get to show you our beautiful new intro music by our friend Eric LaNoue. SPOILER ALERT! The girls also talk theories about the upcoming current season and the possibility of return of favorite character, Teddy. Don’t give up on us yet - we’ve got season two airing soon. Thanks for your love and support.

Surprise! The On Call Room gals are delivering a special bonus episode this week during our hiatus. Abbey and Bri invite Kristen back to do "cold reads" of some of their favorite scenes from season 1. The three of them share their personal experiences with surgery and silly moments on pain meds, and deliver Emmy worthy performances. In true surgeon spirit they make this into a competition passing out points for who acted the best. Who will win?? Grab a glass of wine, hit play and find out!

It's finally here -- the season one finale of Grey's Anatomy and Abbey and Bri have so many feels! This episode is all about lying, telling the truth, and syphilis. Bri talks about her sexual awakening in 7th grade, and strangely enough Abbey's was not that different. This leads them down a rabbit hole of conversation about sex education, AIM, asking boys out over the Internet (or if you're abbey in a hand written letter) and countless other memories. This episode of Grey's really provided the first "shock factor" which leads Abbey and Bri to give it their highest ratings yet. Make sure you check out their Instagram page @theoncallroompod for their FIRST GIVEAWAY! Thank you so much to our listeners for making it this far with us! We love you!

We are recording from a new location this week! Abbey drives over to Bri's house to mix things up a bit, and also because Bri refuses to leave her home after work. Bri's life is a clumsy mess as she moves through Mercury Retrograde, and her notes this episode reflect it. Abbey has really grasped the theme of the episode, and it pairs perfectly where we are at astrologically. The two claim this as a "hippy dippy" episode because science is overlooked for psychics and faith in intuition. Some of their favorite moments include, Karev reciting the plagues (which Bri almost names them all), the trailer, and Cristina and Burke entering a space in their relationship where they don't only have to be sexing when they enter the on call room. This is the last episode before the season finale and the two of them are already dreaming up what big thing they can offer to their listeners when they finish season one. So, take a listen and gab along with these gals on the shifting of planets, and the growth of their favorite cast.

Bri and Abbey break into multiple smash hits on their next episode, ultimately claiming it as their very own "musical episode." Bri has finished her first week of the whole 30 and Abbey drinks LaCroix with her in solidarity. Bri has also recently done some research on animals that kill the most humans, and shares her findings, Abbey graciously engages. They question what the auditions would be like for medical ailments including seizures and "clearing." They decide they're on team Meredith when it comes to her choices in her love life and are over her bosses hounding her personal choice. And of course they laugh uncontrollably throughout, especially when Abbey's chair squeaks and Bri thinks Abbey is hiding something. Other thoughts include: Izzie copes with baking, George and Izzie are underdogs, Christina and Meredith are top dogs, and the casts hair is more realistic in this first season You won't want to miss this episode as it will have you laughing along.

Episode 6 is finally here and for the first time ever we have a hilarious guest scrubbing in on the pod! Original Grey’s viewer Kristen Claeys joins The On Call Room for what won’t be the last time. Somehow the girls begin talking about their Hogwarts houses - and Abbey realizes that George and her are both Hufflepuffs. This explains so much. The three girls discuss what happened the previous evening when they went out to a bar - and are wondering why they don’t get hit on by any McDreamy’s. They discuss the relationship traits of Derek and Burke - and wonder why they are so much more needy than the women they are with. They also apologize for shit talking to Shonda and realize that she could easily ruin all of their careers - including the podcast. The episode includes tumors, sad dads and finally some story lines that make them feel things. Including the first occurrence of GGB’s (Grey’s Goosebumps). Kristen leads Bri and Abbey in a game which they call the Bokhee game. Abbey and Bri act out emotions using only their eyes and it’s not the best game for a podcast. And lastly - the girls discuss the immense amount of budget cuts in the show and somehow - Kristen finds out that she is covered in wine. It’s a good one!

Bri has a traumatic run-in with a man in a car and by the end of the episode they learn a real life lesson about being kind to others. She’s also wearing 80’s biker shorts. In episode 5 Meredith encounters her first real mistake as an intern. She also gets to have sex in a car with McDreamy so we don’t feel too bad for her. This also leads to a discussion of who actually has sex in a car these days? Bri and Abbey experience an iconic Grey’s Anatomy moment as Meredith and Christina dance it out for the first time on the series. The first Miranda Bailey teaching moment segment happens and yet again - we discuss whether Alex Karev will ever have his happy ending or if Shonda will murder him off the show. Bri and Abbey end the show as they prepare to go out for the evening. They talk about the possibility of a giveaway - so stay tuned for that! And follow us on Instagram for more information! @theoncallroompod

This week on The On-Call Room, Abbey and Bri are recording during an epic thunderstorm. Abbey admits that she's always been afraid of thunder and lightning and the two of them ultimately creep the hell out of themselves. Bri wants to feel validated about her knowledge about the surgeons and their jobs - and spoiler alert - she is in the end. Abbey praises Izzy's locker room shake down and Bri questions how Karev will ever redeem himself #mcdouche. They attempt to name their own lingerie lines (unsuccessfully), share stories about squishing bugs and speak to tampons. The characters are FINALLY being defined and Abbey and Bri continue to discuss their favorite Seattle Grace doctors.

Abbey and Bri talk about the potential of Abbey's eyebrows being ruined forever (don't worry - they weren't) and how young people these days have fake Instagram accounts. #FINSTAS. They also realize that the higher Meredith's ponytail is the earlier the season of Grey's. Bri admits on-air that she is too afraid to start new show and instead she chooses to watch Grey's over and over again. This is the first week that Bri and Abbey utilize the "Dear Shonda" segment of their podcast. They also spend way too much time trying to understand the episode titles before realizing they are all song names. UGH.

On this week’s episode of The On-Call Room, Bri and Abbey finally start to hit their stride. They talk about their disastrous photoshoot, scrubs fashion and all of the hilarious list of names for the podcast that were submitted by listeners. We go through episode 2 in-depth, which includes conversations about Meredith’s penis, ferry boats and how the hell Richard Webber is aging backwards.

Welcome to the pilot episode of The On-Call Room! We started this podcast in 2017 - and things sure have changed since then. Give us some grace as you listen in to the earlier episodes as we were figuring out our sound quality, the flow of the show and who are our listeners are. Skip ahead a few seasons if you want to find improved quality. For more info and for more content check us out on www.patreon.com/theoncallroom This week in The On-Call Room, Abbey and Bri introduce themselves as well as their hopes and dreams for the podcast (aka getting someone from the cast to call in). We discuss the first Mer/Der moment, 007, why the real doctors of the show aren't saving anyone's life and other facts about the pilot that Abbey googled while recording. This podcast was recorded before we had a name or anywhere to follow us. Now we're totally legit. We hope you'll forgive us - and continue listening next week!
