Scrubs Off Bottoms Up

This episode is chaotic, unfiltered, and somehow still a little heartfelt. We start with Colleen’s attitude (spicy, as always), then shift into something more real as Michael shares what it was like being contacted as a bone marrow match for a patient, a moment that definitely puts things into perspective.Naturally, we spiral right back into nonsense. We break down ICU lingo and the unhinged sayings that only make sense when you’re running on no sleep, debate the legitimacy of “cowboy medicine,” and unpack the controversy of Michael taking a date to his favorite low-key, kept-secret spa… which Colleen has very strong opinions about.It’s a mix of dark humor, real talk, and the kind of conversations that only happen after a long shift and a couple drinks.

This week takes us from Brazil (yes, the stories are exactly what you think) to canned tuna becoming a full-blown personality trait. And just when you think we’ve peaked, we casually pivot into vaginal studies, including the very questionable decision to test Colleen’s pH like it’s a lab experiment we’re absolutely not qualified to run.It’s part travel chaos, part medical curiosity, part “should we be saying this out loud?”-but somehow still mildly educational if you squint.Expect oversharing, unhinged commentary, and a level of curiosity that probably should’ve come with supervision.It’s messy, it’s inappropriate, it’s very SOBU.

Yes, we’re firing our CPA.Yes, we’re talking about people flying across the world for procedures.And yes… we’re reuniting in Portugal with the group from Michael’s friend’s college house that was literally called “The Brothel.”We haven’t seen them all together in years..This feels like a social experiment. Or a liability.Colleen also experiences death via Cut Water  Pray for us. Or don’t. It might be more entertaining if you don’t.

We’re back like we never left… except we definitely did, but surprise!  This episode is fully chaotic, in true SOBU fashion, with everything from Atropine mistakes that will make you question your license, to Colleen’s 30th birthday blackout weekend (yes, it’s exactly what you think), to K1 visas, love, impulsive decisions, and a few hidden surprises we probably shouldn’t be sharing. Same us, worse decisions, zero supervision. Did you really expect anything else?

In this episode, we’re raising a glass to our friend Connor and leaning all the way into our usual chaos. We get into the realities (and delusions) of committing to work overseas for love, question why our mitochondria feel like they’re vibrating at all times, and put Connor to the test with a completely unqualified attempt at guessing medical devices and equipment.Expect strong opinions, questionable science, and the kind of conversations that absolutely should not happen after a couple drinks—but always do.Scrubs are off. Drinks are up. Let’s spiral.

In this episode of Scrubs Off, Bottoms Up, we are FINALLY back on the saddle. and trust us, it was worth the wait. After a brief hiatus, we’re baaack, slightly more refined, fully unhinged, and armed with all the updates you’ve been dying to hear.From fanny flutters and workplace tension to SOBU fights and the beautiful chaos that is emergency department nursing, nothing is off the table. We talk messy friendships, hospital drama, dating disasters, and what really happens when nurses clock out and the drinks start flowing.

This week, we’re raising a glass to burn units, Good Samaritans, and the absolute disaster that is disseminated intravascular coagulation. From heroic saves gone wrong to the chaos that follows, we break down the medicine, the mess, and the moments that make healthcare equal parts horrifying and hilarious.

This week, Michael and Colleen are flying high as they unpack midair erections, the chaos of fresh out of school doctors, and why Whipple patients deserve way more attention and survival credit than they get. It’s turbulence meets trauma with the usual mix of inappropriate laughter, questionable analogies, and a few too many hospital flashbacks. Grab a drink and keep your seatbelt fastened because this episode’s going to hit some altitude.

The shots are poured and the scrubs are off as Michael and Colleen dive into this week’s chaos- from hospital hotties and questionable Citi Bike etiquette to a full-on anatomy class about vaginal health (and yes, discharge). It’s messy, it’s educational, and it’s exactly what you didn’t know you needed.

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.

Yeehaw and happy Pride y'all! We’re coming to you straight from Alaska, where Colleen’s love for rugged men and indigenous art reaches new heights (and questionable purchases—yes, there was a walrus penis involved). In this icy episode, we chat about everything from Michaels sweet grandparents, to the mechanics behind the Purewick. Oh and it's Pride Month, so you know we found time to bring some rainbow realness to the rugged wilderness. So, throw on your cowboy hats and pack your parkas because you're in for a wiiiiiild moose ride. Enjoy! 

What do hot dogs, condom caths, and the sound of death have in common? Us, apparently. From glizzy talk to ghost gasps, were covering it all. This episode kicks off with an unnecessary amount of passion about hot dogs (why are they always involved in poor life choices?), slides into the slippery world of condom catheters (yes, they’re real, yes, they go on penises), and wraps up with the “death honk”—that final breath that sounds like a haunted kazoo and lives rent-free in our nightmares. Medicine is wild, y’all. Enjoy. 

This week on Scrubs Off Bottoms Up, we’re talking bunions and bad decisions! The duo dives into the world of feet followed by Michael almost setting an entire hospital ablaze (psst… it wasn’t his fault). They also detour into love hate relationships with Times Square bodegas. Grab your drink, take off those compression socks, and join us for another round of unfiltered nursing chaos!

Michael and Colleen are jet-lagged, over-caffeinated, and ready to spill all the international tea! This week, they take you on a wild ride through Abu Dhabi’s camel chaos and unpack the true horror of the infamous “Thai belly.” Plus, what do you do when international travel meets unexpected health emergencies? (Hint: it involves a hole in the ground and questionable translation apps.) So, buckle up, pop some Imodium, and leave your brain at the TSA checkpoint, because these healthcare hotties are catching flights AND sun poisoning.  

The scrubs are off, the drinks are poured, and your new favorite duo is clocked out and cracked open. In this very first episode, Michael and Colleen spill on their first impressions of each other, the chaotic beginnings of their friendship, and what it’s really like working in healthcare. From heartfelt to hilarious (yes, including Michael’s now-infamous Fendi freakout), nothing is off the table. So whether you're here for nurse life realness or just the unfiltered laughs — welcome. Bottoms up!
