Scalpels and Tequila. A Grey's Anatomy Podcast

We're baaack.
After a tiny hiatus because of surgery and some personal stuff. We are together for the second half of this chaotic double episode.

How often do we truly understand the demands and challenges endured by medical professionals, especially amidst a landscape fraught with sexism and racism?

The challenges of being in a relationship with a medical professional are often overlooked. In this episode, we shed light on the heart-wrenching waiting game that partners endure for quality time, and the internal struggles of characters like Tuck, caught in the vortex of these complex dynamics. Then, we take you through an insightful discussion on the racism existing within the medical profession, embodied by RAG.

As we wrap up, we delve deep into the emotional struggles, the intricacies of friendship dynamics, and the striking narrative about Izzy defying the "Be a shark" trope. Join us as we journey through this intense episode, giving you a whole new perspective on the captivating world inside Seattle Grace.

Ambulance crashes, Nazis, Exposed arteries and Ava. Tamzen delves into the idea of loosing the ground beneath your feet and the shattering of your foundation..solo! We dissect the heart-wrenching ambulance crash scene, delve into Bailey's marital issues and reflect on Derek's revelations about Meredith.


Have you ever wondered how surgeons manage their relationships in the midst of their demanding profession? We draw parallels between Bailey's storyline and Adele and Weber's relationship, examining how partners outside the medical profession juggle their significant other's taxing lifestyle.

Everyone is whisked back to memories of coke-bottle glasses, prom queens and pregnant high school girls, as our surgeons operate on patients from a bus crash. Through hallways of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital High we dissect how adolescence and childhood experiences shape our characters.
Derek, Callie and Izzie navigate their relationships with a teenage patient, revealing their blind spots, insecurities and biases.
Bailey is confronted an transformed into 'Mandy' by her old school crush and we learn that with Derek and Izzie you can't judge a book by its cover.

Thatcher Grey makes a drunken entrance into the ER causing Meredith to get to know the Real Dad that Lexie grew up with. 


Lots of love,

The only chemical reaction we got this week was similar to Benzos -we were put to sleep! We were bored, but we had a hell of a lot of fun talking about it!

There was a baby - and no I'm not talking about Mark acting all gaga for Hahn. Who, by the way, we are still SHOCKED at how we used to feel about her. Bailey is back playing Mother Hen to our residents, while Cali takes a break to break some bones.

Speaking of bones, Izzie and George finally get their night. And then the next day, and the one after that, and the thing in the shower we never talk of again.

Lots of love,

Tamzen and Ayla

This week on Scalpels and Tequila we are practicing our ninja skills to prepare ourselves for Gentleman's Evening.  And no, there is no glitter and $1 bills involved.

Dr Hahn shows us how wrong we were. How did we ever sleep on this woman? We cried Justice for Addison, Justice for Callie and now we cry "HOW THE HECK DID EVERYONE HATE HER?!" .

In the ER this week we have two bridezillas fighting for the chance to win a wedding. While Callie and Mark attend to their patients George is left being punished for his actions - not to worry he will get his hot, fiery night.

Christina and Mere try their hand at psychology while working on a patient from heaven.

Lots of love,

Tamzen and Ayla

It's Spooky Season at Seattle Grace and we are hunting for ears. This week on Scalepls and Tequila we are stuck wondering whether we have missed an episode.

Meredith is haunted by the creature lurking in her closet. Finally people start to take notice of the ghoulish way Cali has been treated. An unlikely witches bond forms between her and Christina.  The black cat is out of the bag - everyone knows about Izzie and George. Bailey's husband is making her feel like a monster, meanwhile all the ladies in the hospital are making Derek feel like a superhero.

Only one costume this week, but we have more questions than answers. Like - what would Bailey look like as a Manatee?

Lots of love,

Tamzen and Ayla

Trigger warning this week for Eating Disorders , Disordered Eating and Body Dysmorphia.

What is forgiveness? Can it be done? Where is everyone's breaking point?
Seattle Grace today is full of running ducks and lost fights, punches that were never thrown and trips that were never taken. 

We see patients push their bodies to the limits for the benefit of other people and that makes our residents question their own limitations and how far they are willing to go to forgive and forget. 
Callie lets her anger out on a grieving spouse, George weasels his way out of conflict, Izzie gets her boxing gloves on and Christina gets the popcorn.

A special episode for you this week! Tamzen and Ayla catch up  after the reunion of Ellen Pompeo and Kathrine Heigl. 

Izzie and Mere got together after 13 years to have a chat, hosted by Variety. We find out some tea about how they both felt about working on Greys. Insider scoops on upcoming projects and how to deal with teens at the liquor store. 

Join us for a great interview reminiscing over deer, lions and  being a young actor!

Lots of Love,

Tamzen and Ayla

The truth about ageism is... it doesn't age well.  Kind of like that joke.

This week we meet an extra special intern Norman. Alex is not pleased but he does respect his elders. Bailey on the otherhand knows when interns need to be put in their place. Bailey doesn't want to be involved in any of your personal drama. But she will help the Greys to at least see eye to eye.

Webber and Sloan aren't too old to learn a new tongue trick or two. Derek thinks they are boys, cowboys. Christina can spy something is going on between Derek and Mare and without a waffle maker to bargin for she  has only one way to get the truth.

George..... Izzie ...... Cali ...... Really Old Guy......And a Lobster


Lots of Love,

So we have left you so long without your hit of Scalpels and Tequila. We promise we love you and didn't mean to make you go through any withdrawals.

We have a trouble case this week with our 5 patients today all being connected to a suspicious explosion in an apartment complex. The most concerning of all being a little baby boy who will not stop crying. Alex saves the day with his very keen sense of smell, though we do not believe he OR Cali should have been responsible for this case today.

Christina is confronted with the ghost of her lover past. Well, to be more accurate, the mother of her ex lover. That's right, Mama Bourke is back. Snatching eyebrows and slinging truths. She accuses Derek of being an Honourable Man, but we all know he is just there for the S&M. Izzie and George are just there for the uncomfortably close conversations. 

Lots of Love,

Tamzen and Ayla
