Brother claims to have seen another bear, but we all know it could have been a dog. In a discussion about distance measurement, Sister recognizes she could never work on a boat crew. (One yard = three feet).

JEREMY WROTE A MESSAGE! Jeremy is back with a question about aliens, and The Sibs are definitely going to answer it, after they workshop some nicknames for Jeremy and get sidetracked by Jurassic Park.

TOMMY LEFT A VOICEMAIL! Tommy takes a break from riding the rails to talk about his favourite movie of Jon’s Held Up, which is not, in fact, a movie.

CORRECTION: Kris Kristofferson is not, in fact alive. RIP King.

Jon wants to wrap it up but Allison had a movie question and a name drop, which leads to memories of that one guy we all knew in high school whose parents were too hands off and he was borderline psychopathic, but you could drink in his basement.

Brother and Sister start off strong with a brief chat about National Anthems.

In Episode 75, Allison read an email they were sent from someone pitching themselves  as a guest, who had clearly never listened to the show. UPDATE! The correspondence continues, and after a mild squabble over semantics, and an incident with a bootle of beer, we get to the follow up.

After a brief check in on what their favourite agencies are, Jon talks about a last minute back to school adventure. Concerns over flooding of a questionably named Basin in Juneau left time for one last family road fight. I mean trip.

A poop emergency forces a break in the podcast.

Allison knows a microbiologist, so she asked him if sharing toothbrushes was okay, or if The Sibs were right to judge people who did it.

Jackson makes a cameo to end the show.

The Sibs both had late nights, for very different reasons. Brother was up with his 3 year old, Sister is hungover after going to see The Headstones.

Allison is at a hotel that doesn’t have air conditioning and Jon is mad about it. After a brief interruption to tend to the children, Jon talks about his late night.

Jon accidentally trolled the internet and he’s proud of himself, but also might make an apology video.

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Jon tells a story about a psychic and Allison starts talking about some thoughts she's had on what might actually be happening with people who think they are psychic, but Jon keeps interrupted and SHE IS MAD. Will they make up before the podcast is over? Will they ever speak again? Only a psychic knows.

Brother and Sister reminisce about their years in the restaurant industry, and the cast of characters they served, some more well known than others. They come up with an idea that could invigorate Ottawa’s tourism. 

After discussing the dangers of wearing Adidas track pants, Allison reveals she had been on the phone with their parents when a group text arrived from Jon. 

WE HAVE A MESSAGE FROM MOTHER AND FATHER! An unprompted comment from their Mother leads Allison to ask their parents to leave a message, as what Mom said directly contradicts a long running narrative of Jon’s. 

Jon asks Allison to weigh in on a family dispute, and The Sibs GO OFF on whether or not it is okay to use someone else’s toothbrush. Then Jon gets a bit too emphatic about it and things go dark. Then somehow they end up talking about Woody Allen movies, so I guess things stay dark.

Brother is back! After an update on Sister's dog Chili, they get right into a voice message.

WE GOT A MESSAGE FROM JEREMY! We asked listeners for feedback on what they like, what they want more or less of, and Jeremy called from all the way in Australia! 

Brother and Sister talk Australian chain restaurants, baked potatoes and the TV series Sneaky Pete.

Jon is a very proud Papa and talks about why his daughter Emma is so awesome (this story involves farts). Allison taught her cousin's kids what a Dutch Oven is.

Jon has just returned from the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, and he isn't happy with his performance. Allison tried to get him to dig deeper.

Lastly they get real riled up about Canadian chain restaurants.

Brother is in Montreal, so Sister is solo on this one! Well, not really - Jon has left 9 voice messages to make sure he's heard!

Allison is responding to his messages but also free to go off on some of her favourite subjects: movies and crushes. Jon tells a story about a concerning neighbour shooting guns.

LISA LEFT US A MESSAGE! #freedom4Lisa is real as she is at a cottage for a month, and wants to know if The Sibs have any cottage stories from their youth.

Allison manages to squabble with Jon even though he isn't physically present, so while it's a different kind of episode, it's still the same ol' show.

Brother and Sister both attended ragers the night before, so they're a bit sleepy. Jon is afraid of young neighbours thinking he's uncool. Allison heard a great story about bird poop. They talk about a concert line up and then realize they got the bands wrong. 

See Jon at Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal! 

Brother and Sister are in Edmonton! And on a stefan, they are so excited to welcome this week's guest, comedian Faris Hytiaa!

Born and raised in London, Ontario Faris moved to Khartoum, Sudan when he was 12 and obviously The Sibs ask all the important questions: what was tv like? Was there a subway?

Faris shares some of his nicknames growing up, Jon shares the story of giving Faris the name Zone 9, and everyone gets a cute nickname!

Farroosi, Janooni, and Alloossi also talk cults, shisha, and how to find Mecca.

Bonjours tout le monde! Brother’s in a mood, Sister is sick and we’re off to the races! Jon’s dreams come true when technical difficulties cause Allison to disappear from the recording for a few minutes and he’s got the mic all to himself.

The Sibs detail the events immediately after they recorded the last episode: was the surprise party they threw for their parent’s 55th anniversary a success? Were The Rents surprised or did they suspect? Who is truly to blame for Allison being behind schedule?

EDMONTON! The Grindstone Comedy Festival starts tomorrow! (July 2nd 2025), and Brother and Sister will both be in attendance! Allison’s comedy record label, Howl & Roar Records, is the outdoor stage sponsor for 4th or 5th year, and Jon is performing on July 4th and 5th! Come out and see if you can catch them squabbling in the wild!

Jon reveals his secrets for the perfect vegetable lasagna. Allison takes the Dog or Bear Test.

NURI LEFT A MESSAGE! But it’s not for us, it’s for YOU.

Go to brothersisterpod.com to leave a voicemail or email!

It's the day of the big surprise y'all! Brother and Sister have been plotting a surprise party for their parents 55th anniversary and it's the morning of. 

Jon is in town with his two kids, and Allison has already committed a crime for the older one.

GRADY LEFT US A MESSAGE! Well he left two, but in the scramble to record the episode Allison accidently played the second one first.

ANDREA LEFT US A MESSAGE! Turns out The Sibs are already a bad influence on her kid, but we all love Mr. Darcy so it's probably fine.

GRADY LEFT US A MESSAGE! We get the first one in there.

We owe you: a bias test and a dog vs. bear test. We haven't forgotten.
