Scrubs Off Bottoms Up

We’re back, and it’s giving chaos. After a little hiatus, Michael’s single, Colleen’s still reckless, and the city hasn’t recovered. From cut vs uncut debates to what’s next for Scrubs Off, Bottoms Up, we’re spilling every detail (and probably a few drinks). 

Sometimes life happens and your podcast is posted 3 weeks late. Let normalize neglecting things we love. ANYWHO - sorry for the wait, you can blame me (Colleen) xoxo 

What do medical ethics, a dissociative anesthetic, and a near-eradicated virus have in common? In this episode, we unpack the unlikely trio of integrity, ketamine, and polio—exploring how each reflects the fragile balance between science, truth, and power. From the moral tightrope walked in psychedelic therapy to the shadowed legacy of polio vaccine trials, and the personal cost of standing by your principles, this conversation goes deep. Nothing is off-limits. Tune in for a raw, reflective, and surprising journey through history, healing, and hard choices.

Ever woken up unable to move and thought a demon was sitting on your chest? Welcome to the terrifying world of sleep paralysis—and we’re unpacking it, haunted house style. Then we pivot (because why not?) to the glamorous topic of defecography—yes, it’s a real medical test, and yes, we’re going there. From poop to pitch, we climb onto the roof to talk roofing mishaps, unexpected hot tar stories, and whether shingles are just adult Legos. And finally, we round it out with the lawn mower wars—electric vs gas, why dads obsess over perfect stripes, and which one is most likely to ruin your Saturday.

It’s an episode that no one asked for, but everyone needed. Buckle up—it’s weird, it’s wild, and it’s somehow educational.

This goes all over the place. Bare with us everybody. Let us live. Love you xoxo 

This week, things get snatched and chaotic—in true Scrubs Off Bottoms Up fashion. Michael, America’s sweetheart (and proud of it), tries to keep it together while Colleen spirals through celebrity lookalikes, her possible reincarnation as Barbra Streisand, and her current hot mess era. We get into the real difference between what you’re taught in nursing school versus what actually happens in the hospital (spoiler: nobody mixes insulin in the real world without a phone call to pharmacy). Plus, a mini deep-dive on facelifts, nurse Botox side hustles, and whether it’s ethical to say “you look tired” to someone with a fresh syringe of filler in their glove box.

Bring a cocktail and your clinical judgment—one of them will get tested.

Everything ASS-thetics, mosquitoes & diarrhea mouth

Hi everyone it’s Colleen. I’m too hungover to make a description and yes I had to ask ChatGpt how to spell subpoenas. Thank you bye. Xoxoxo 

Buckle up and lower your moral standards, because this week on Scrubs Off Bottoms Up, Colleen and Michael dive into their very different styles of inappropriate and one of the two gets put in time out. Michael reminisces on his American Eagle era, screaming “LET YOUR FREEDOM RING” — let’s assume while folding the iconic 2010 tees. We tackle the age-old ethical debate: would you rather be deaf or blind? (Don’t worry, we raise actual awareness for blind patients between the chaos.) Then we talk about our friends who had full-blown brain aneurysms that just… disappeared? Miraculous healing or a casual whoopsie by healthcare? And despite the nurse burnout epidemic, we’re still here—channeling our inner Florence Nightingale with laughs and love towards this beautiful and crazy career of ours. It’s wild, it’s real, it’s probably gonna get us reported.

It’s getting sweaty, chaotic, and just a little bit heroic! This week, we’re talking NYC summer heat (why does it feel like the subway platform is actually hell’s basement?), airplane emergencies when someone yells “Is there a doctor on board?” (spoiler: there never is, but there is a nurse three mimosas deep), and the unspoken rules of being off-duty while drinking—can you save a life in a crop top and tequila breath? Tune in as we sweat, sip, and overshare.
