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 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.

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

The show begins with The Sibs talking about the greatest TV theme song of all time: Danger Bay

Brother once again advertises his upcoming show "Jon's Super Cool Stories", Sister asks him if he's ever been dumped.

Jon pretends his brain is healthy and well-balanced, while he drinks his breakfast beer. Allison talks about her trip to Ottawa.

TIM ROTH LEFT US A MESSAGE! It's the Man of Mystery's birthday! Before The Sibs can answer his birthday-centric question, they have to relitigate TWO arguments they have had previously.

Jon is allegedly going to create an structured agenda for next week's episode, and Allison is going to fact check his nonsense from this week.

This one is a real phone call folks! We start off with Traffic Talk, brought to you by insane road closures. And while neither Brother nor Sister condone the closing of major arteries for ANY reason, we encourage you to donate to Baycrest Foundation's quest to defeat dementia, because dementia sucks even more than road closures.

Somehow this leads to Sister telling stories of weird things guys have said to her on dates, including the time a guy said he couldn't see her anymore because he didn't want to upset Brother, which in turn upset Brother. 

Do you want an episode of Brother's Super Cool Stories? He allegedly has some and will only share them if enough people want them, so go to brothersisterpod.com and leave us a voicemail or an email that says "Brother eats farts" or whatever you want, I'm just seeing if he reads this far. Also follow us on Instagram @brothersisterpod and you can just comment Super Cool on the post for this episode. 

The episode starts with a squabble! Sister reveals a behind the scenes moment and Brother is perturbed. 

THE SIBS WANT YOUR FEEDBACK! What do you want more of? Brother thinks no one wants to hear entertainment gossip or movie talk, but Sister disagrees. Do you want video? Listen, we’ll probably ignore a lot of it, but we genuinely do want your feedback.

Jon has had some upsetting customer service experiences recently and explains where the bar should be, Allison agrees but has a little more slack in the boundaries.

WE HAVE A MESSAGE FROM EMILI! Allison’s long time friend leaves a message, and is truly flirting with suspension. BOTH Sibs consider putting Emili in the penalty box. However she did bring up some interesting subjects, and a music based question that leads to a huge reveal: JON CONFESSES TO COMMITTING A CRIME.

Leave us a message or feedback https://brothersisterpod.com

Brother opens the episode with an original song, then Sister questions his choices as we get an update on the Snack Shack. Allison saw a barbershop with a curious name, and Jon has controversial opinions on hairdressers.

DISCLAIMER: Please listen carefully, as Brother is once again trying to twist Sister’s words into support for nefarious people.

They get in a bit of a squabble about the US government, and then discuss The Staircase and what they would do if the other one was found guilty of a crime.

Allison had dinner with long lost friend, and caller from a couple of episodes ago, Louise! Then she gets sincere and Jon gets uncomfortable. Plus she has done some detective work, and if she is right, she has a challenge for a listener.

MATTHEW LEFT A MESSAGE! Is he flirting with suspension???

Brother opens this week's episode with a fun challenge to the listeners. Sister details how her life is falling apart.

Jon is concerned with the crumbling social structure, as proven by escalator etiquette. The Sibs agree the world was better in the 90's. 

New Pope, who dis? Conclave is a great movie.

MATTHEW LEFT A MESSAGE! He solves a mystery, gives an unneccessary (per Sister), necessary (per Brother) apology, and has a fun game for everyone.

NATALIE LEFT A MESSAGE! The Podmother is back with a 3 part question. Possibly flirting with suspension, but great thoughts about self-care especially when you have a public facing job. 

You can leave us a voicemail or email at brothersisterpod.com!

Sister’s car battery exploded so The Parents Dore have come to help her out. Brother has signed his daughter up for Little League only to discover the game has changed since his day.

As Jon rails against being forced to work at the Snack Shack, Allison basically interrupts him to promote Maury Povich’s new podcast “On Par with Maury Povich” because she interviewed him this week and is his biggest fan.

WE HAVE A MESSAGE! Or do we? It looks like someone accidentally  left us a message intended for a different podcast. The Sibs theorize about how this happened.

The Rents are making a spectacle of themselves so it’s hard to concentrate, but Jon is determined to air his Little League grievances. A fresh text comes in about the snack shack pushing him to his breaking point.

Jon has to go because he is continuing his tradition of buying clothes for a TV taping the day of the taping.

The Sibs once again can’t stop talking about Rochester NY in the 80’s. Jon questions Allison’s bravery. Jon has been solo parenting for a bit and Allison isn’t sympathetic. Neither of them are good at interpreting dreams.

JAMES LEFT A MESSAGE! Shout out to Grady! James shares a story about asking a girl to prom, and asks about The Sibs’ school dance experience, which leads to a revelation about Jon that Allison has no memory of. After being interrupted by a phone call, they grab some bevs and get back into it.

TIM LEFT A MESSAGE! He’s a bit of a mystery man, but what a great time.

LOUISE LEFT A MESSAGE! Allison’s old friend/coworker reconnects in a big way! Louise leaves a heartfelt message about the incident that brought her and her brother together, and asks if there was something that changed the tides for The Sibs when they were younger.
