Do you feel like one episode of Grey’s Anatomy a week just isn’t enough to get you through? Well pour yourself a glass of wine (or a shot of tequila – we’re not picky) and join veteran Grey’s fans Abbey Moore and Bri Babbitt to discuss, dissect and indulge in chatter of your favorite characters, heartbreaking moments and everything in between.
We will be re-watching the entire series starting with Season 1 Episode 1 – and encourage you to do the same. You won’t be sorry! Or you might, but we will just forget that. Just like we did with the musical episode in Season 7.
Be warned! From the very beginning this is a spoilers podcast. We reference the entire show and everything that has happened through to current Greys. We do not recommend listening if this is your first time watching the show.
S3 E3: The Cheese Stands Alone with Patron Rachel
Mar 28, 2018
Show notes
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!
S3 E2: Muffins, McSteamy and Disney Channel Original Movies with Patron Lisa
Mar 20, 2018
Show notes
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?
S3 E1: Time is a Bitch - Season 3 Premiere with Patron Alyssa!
Mar 14, 2018
Show notes
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.
S2 E27: Dirty Mistress Sex - Season Finale!
Mar 08, 2018
Show notes
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.
S2 E26: This is still a Horror Movie with Patron Sonja Scrubbing In!
Feb 27, 2018
Show notes
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.
S2 E25: This is a Horror Movie with patron Lisa scrubbing in!
Feb 21, 2018
Show notes
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.

S2 E24: Theme's and Memes
Feb 13, 2018
Show notes
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!

S2 E23: Leather Vests and Turtlenecks
Feb 07, 2018
Show notes
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!
S2 E22: Is Laurie Metcalf My Mom?
Jan 30, 2018
Show notes
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??

S2 E21: Positive Vibes, Prayers n' Blessings
Jan 24, 2018
Show notes
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”.
