Show Notes
Johnny Mac reviews Season 10, Episode 4 (“My Poker Phase,” March 11, 2026), calling it the fourth best so far with few laughs aside from a Chewbacca roommate gag and flashbacks of Turk doing the Macarena.
JD tries to revive poker night with Turk, interns from medical and surgical services compete, and Elliot treats a social-media-obsessed patient played by Matt Rife.
