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.

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.
S2 E11: Where is Rodman?
Sep 26, 2017
Show notes
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.
S2 E10: Congratulations, you're flaccid.

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!
S2 E8: A poor man's McDreamy
Aug 29, 2017
Show notes
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.
S2 E7: Great board Chief!
Aug 22, 2017
Show notes
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!
S2 E6: The Leg of Redemption
Aug 14, 2017
Show notes
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.
S2 E5: Boobs are all very different with special guest Reva!
Aug 08, 2017
Show notes
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.)
S2 E4: "This is not that great ..."
Aug 01, 2017
Show notes
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!
S2 E3: Power outages and sweaty recordings
Jul 25, 2017
Show notes
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!
