Dr. JJ (Psychiatrist) and Dr. Domi (Pediatric Anesthesiologist & recovering fashionista) are back after a vacation hiatus with hot takes on medicine, pop culture, travel, the Devil Wears Prada 2 movie review and the Emma Grede hustle culture debate. Buckle up. 

0:00 — Intro & Welcome Back
0:46 — **🩺 Doctors Behaving Badly:** A Florida surgeon removed the wrong organ (liver instead of spleen), killed a patient, lost his license, and was later arrested… driving for Uber/Lyft. The ultimate "No Other Skills, MD" moment.
5:35 — **📰 Current Events:** Assassination attempt #3 (or 4?), Aziz Ansari's SNL debut as Kash Patel, and a surprising Long Island connection.
9:00 — **🗺️ Case Report / Travel Diaries:** Dr. Domi hits Carmel with her 14-year-old dog in an e-bike sidecar, parties on a boat in Austin, and explores a surprisingly pristine Mexico City. Dr. JJ reflects on solo world travel and why she'd now hire a travel agent in a heartbeat.
19:58 — **✈️ Travel Hacks:** Points, miles, and the "Physicians to First Class" Facebook group — a non-clinical career hiding in plain sight.
21:36 — **📋 Consults / Second Opinions:** Emma Grede (Good American, SKIMS) drops her book *Start With Yourself* and the internet loses its mind. Hard work, hustle culture, proximity to success — the doctors weigh in.
27:58 — **🎬 The Devil Wears Prada 2 Review:** Dr. Domi caught it in Mexico City (with Spanish subtitles!). Verdict: cute, but too copy-paste. The core audience has seen the original 10 times — stop explaining the jokes.
33:30 — **⚖️ Rant & Rave:** Mifepristone access, telehealth abortion restrictions, and the Supreme Court stepping in — another day in the dictatorship.
35:22 — **Outro & Sign-Off**

In this episode, Dr. JJ and Dr. Domi are in full form — true crime, career meltdowns, golf fits, and the moment they realized they probably should've started therapy instead of a podcast.

In this episode:

0:52 — The anesthesiologist murder trial that has us absolutely obsessed: a birthday hike, a missing syringe, and the term "alpine divorce" you'll never forget
8:29 — The spine surgeon who quit medicine six months in to be a TikTok creator — and why we're more jealous than we want to admit
14:03 — How this podcast actually started: two doctors, one birthday party, and a lot of commiseration
14:19 — The origin story: high school, culture club, and finding each other again in our "empowerment decade"
16:42 — Dr. JJ's first great escape: a year and a half off, globe-trotting Eat Pray Love style (she went to all the same countries)
23:19 — Dr. Domi enrolls in fashion school, and styles hospital kids for seven years
45:53 — Rant of the week: Justin Bieber sat at a laptop at Coachella and got paid $10 million. A woman would never.
48:34 — Rave of the week: Artemis II makes it around the moon and back, and it's the breath of fresh air we all needed
51:10 — Listener Q: what's the weirdest thing a kid has said coming out of anesthesia? (It involves cursing and compliments)

Dr. JJ and Dr. Domi try to figure out whether their brains are melting from perimenopause, post COVID fog, or the general psychological damage of reading the news in 2026. They swap midlife horror stories; frozen shoulder, mysterious body changes, and the sudden need to train like an athlete just to survive “minor” procedures. They debate hormone therapy (including the very real risks) and talk about hunting down a menopause/perimenopause specialist before the “cliffy” symptoms get worse. Along the way they cite Naomi Watts and Halle Berry’s menopause advocacy, recap The Pitt and recommend the unsettling Hulu film The Anniversary.

Dr. JJ and Dr. Domi are back — and this week, nostalgia hits hard.

The America's Next Top Model docuseries has them revisiting their early 2000s obsession with reality TV, the body standards that shaped a generation, and the complicated legacy of Tyra Banks. Plus: one of them actually walked into the Wilhelmina Modeling Agency. The other submitted a VHS tape to The Real World. No further questions.

In this episode:

• 0:58 — America's Next Top Model docuseries breakdown — exploitation, guilt, and why we watched anyway

• 22:16 — Personal GLP-1 journeys and the psychiatry perspective on metabolic health
• 23:03 — The Pitt & TV obsessions: Noah Wyle, blow darts, and the ER we never got over
• 36:13 — Love Story: JFK Jr., Carolyn Bessette, and the last celebrities shrouded in mystery
• 40:00 — Rant of the week: Dr. Casey Means, the Surgeon General nomination, and the MAHA movement
• 42:39 — Oscars 2026: Sinners wins, a historic cinematography milestone, and One Battle After Another

Two doctors. No filter. No pre-authorization needed.

Dr. JJ and Dr. Domi are back from their "winter hiatus" (a.k.a. surviving snowstorms and existential dread) just in time to discover that World War III apparently started while they weren't paying attention. Oops!

Between canceled wellness retreats, cartel warnings derailing Mexico vacations, and the realization that maybe New York City isn't the best place to be when stuff goes down, they're consulting ChatGPT for survival tips—because nothing says "we're fine" like asking AI to help you pack a go-bag.

This episode dives deep into their love-hate-fear relationship with artificial intelligence. Dr. JJ confesses to using ChatGPT to make her sound nicer (translation: less likely to commit email homicide), while Dr. Domi grapples with AI medical documentation that just makes stuff up with alarming confidence. They discuss whether personal robot assistants are worth the inevitable Terminator scenario, why bees are dying every time you ask ChatGPT a question, and the very real possibility that Idaho might be humanity's last stand.

Also featuring:

• The Walking Dead as legitimate apocalypse training
• Expert witnessing as a side hustle (medical detective work, anyone?)
• The Pitt remains unwatchable without emotional support
• The Scrubs reboot: now with more seasoned attending energy
• Kristi Noem's spectacular downfall (chef's kiss)
• Financial planning via Vivian Tu because someone has to think about retirement between wars

Plus, they cover alternative career paths for burned-out clinicians (hello, expert witnessing!), catch up on medical TV dramas (The Pitt and the Scrubs reboot), discuss financial planning with Vivian Tu's Well Endowed, and celebrate some sweet political schadenfreude.

And yes, they recorded this while World War III was apparently happening. Because of course they did.

Remember: they're doctors, but not YOUR doctors. For actual medical advice, consult your own physician!

Dr. JJ and Dr. Domi are back with medical tea and pop culture therapy! 🎙️

This week: prepping for boomer visits, binge-watching Heated Rivalry (yes, THAT spicy), and surviving the dictatorship formerly known as America. The docs tackle generational divides in medicine—are Gen Z doctors really just staring blankly instead of saying "I don't know"? But maybe they're onto something with their work-life balance and mental health days (jealous much?).

Plus: social media doctors, patients Googling their own treatment plans, and the eternal backup plan of marrying rich.

Remember: We're doctors, but not YOUR doctors. Seek actual medical advice from your own physician (preferably one who makes eye contact).
