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.
S2 E2: What is enough?
Jul 18, 2017
Show notes
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!
S2 E1: Where the hell is Joe?
Jul 10, 2017
Show notes
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!

S1 E9: Sexual Awakening - the finale!
May 30, 2017
Show notes
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!
S1 E8: The Psychic is Real!
May 23, 2017
Show notes
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.
S1 E7: Our Musical Episode
May 16, 2017
Show notes
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.
S1 E6: Budget Cuts with special guest Kristen Claeys scrubbing in!
May 09, 2017
Show notes
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!
S1 E5: Dance It Out
May 02, 2017
Show notes
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

Apr 25, 2017

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.
