Brother is on tour in Northern BC and he is sitting in a creaky chair. Most of the creaks are edited out but there's some that couldn't be erased.

Although Jon is the primary caregiver to Emma and Jackson, he does in fact have a fiancée, and he suspects that she and Sister have been talking about him.

Before they get to the voice messages, Allison is excited to play him a special piece of audio she made for him. Then after a quick squabble rehashing previous arguments and Jon's relationship with a convicted murderer, they move on to their voicemail.

First message: Matt from Smithers, BC, was at Jon's show! He has kind words for Jon, and Jon tells us about the lovely town of Smithers.

Second message: Jon's secondary caregiver/financée/life partner Christina and daughter Emma, have a couple of requests.

This epsiode ends with another conversation about The Tragically Hip.

The glamorous world of film and television is the setting as Brother and Sister share stories from the red carpet!

Allison just finished covering the Toronto International Film Festival, her first time doing junkets and red carpets. Apoplgies to actor Tommy Dewey whose name she blanked on when talking about her favourite red carpet. Jon used to get sent on junkets for E-Talk, and we hear why he cried during a screening of Shall We Dance? (2004; Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez).

Messages:

Hilarious comedian Ian Lynch called in to ask The Sibs their thoughts on comedians dating each other, which has long been a subject of great debate in the comedy world.

Listener Josh gets flack for not being a Tragically Hip fan, and he wants to know if it makes him unCanadian. Which obviously sparks a big discussion of Brother's favourite band.

In the second half of The Sibs’ conversation with their longtime friend Casey Corbin, we learn why he gets called Corey sometimes (mostly by Brother), Casey’s episode of Jon’s show Humour Resources, and which wrestler loves Jon.

Casey talks about his favourite joke on Jon’s album A Person Who Is Gingerbread.

Casey explains why “Wheel Of Fortune is for eating, Jeopardy is for competing”; and his rules for watching TV with him.

Okay I'm really late posting the ep, so we talk about a bunch more stuff, including ghosts. We get a lesson on glory holes from listener Anneke from Ottawa, and we finally listen to the message from neglected middle child Andrea!

The Sibs had so much fun talking with their long time friend Casey Corbin that this episode became a two parter! 

Brother starts by asking Casey about his morning routine, and what the news is in Canada, so they very briefly discuss the tragic loss of Johnny Hockey Gaudreau and his brother Matthew.

They reminisce about Sunday 80’s night at Barrymore’s (a legendary Ottawa venue), and then Jon takes umbrage at the fact that Casey thinks he is unorganized.

Casey tells the story of time they all went to see the Foo Fighters and he had a medical emergency, and the time he flew to London to see Michael Jackson perform but he died first. Sister attempts to get Oasis tickets and is 18,754 in the queue.

Through concerts we learn Casey’s life philosophy, and about his siblings, roommates and friends; and find out why Casey and one of his old roommates are still mad at Sister.

We have a voicemail and it’s actually for Casey, which leads them to reminiscing about more concerts, the early days of doing standup in Ottawa, and Canadian Idol. Plus you didn’t think they could talk about bands and not talk about The Tragically Hip and The Headstones did you???

In the midst of Brother droning on about how he’s the primary caregiver, he asks Sister to weigh in on an argument he had with his fiancee about whether or not he’s allowed to say a certain word. 

A message from Christina Lisinska (podmother Natalie's sister!) sparks a conversation on birth order and whether or not the Gallagher brothers qualify as "best siblings".

Ian from Nudge magazine (@nudgemagazine) leaves a message about pinball and arcades, so the Sibs go on a journey from Colecovision to current pinball practices.

The TV show Bloodline prompts Jon to suggest the family spends Christmas in the Flroida Keys, which possibly means he suspects Allison has a dark secret.

The Sibs open with some cute dad jokes and introduce their guest Natalie Lisinska! Natalie is an actor and writer, who played Jayne (the wife of Jon’s character Wayne) on The Lake.

After an update on Allison’s food poisoning scandal (Hector, the manager of the lounge emailed back), we get into Natalie journey from England to Canada as a toddler, and what happens when the immigration officer misspells your name.

Jon tells the story of stopping at a chip truck in the rural Scottish Highlands, and we learn the dangers of having a grandmother clock when you’re on a podcast hosted by siblings with ADHD.

Natalie leads them into a discussion of astrology, which causes Jon to storm out. When he comes back Allison talks about her Charlie Brown moon face, and then they get to the crucial question: does Natalie believe in ghosts?

Sister is back after her vacation, and The Sibs talk resort life, ideal vacation itineraries and refusing to join travel clubs.

Things turn dark as Brother learns the harrowing tale of Sister's return journey: food poisoning made a simple flight into the ninth circle of hell, and it's a miracle she made it home at all. Brother thinks she should sue; Sister settles for sending an email.

WE GOT MAIL! Our first voicemail, left by listener/podmother Natalie, asks the very important question: would Jon and Allison ever consider competing on The Amazing Race Canada??? The question inadvertantly gets them back into last episodes fight, but everyone stays calm this time and gets back on track quickly.

Jon makes an impromtu phone call to ask someone to be the next guest on the pod. Who is it? What did they say? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!

It's still Olympic time and the Siblings agree that the Olympics are dumb and we don't need 'em.

Sister is rip roaring mad about a couple of situations happening at the Olympics and though they start on the same page...they don't stay there.

A full scale battle ensues, with Brother and Sister at each other's throats. Honestly, be careful with volume because there's a couple of times when your eardrums might get blown up. 

They go in circles until they give up and end the episode. The good new is the Olympics will be over by next weeks episode.

BIG NEWS - The Sibs have a website! ANNNNNNDDDD you can leave us a voicemail! If you go to brothersisterpod.com there's a button to record a message, and in this episode Brother & Sister list a bunch of options for what you could share.

Olympic fever is going around, and both Jon and Allison have stories they've barely looked into to share. A creative spark ignites, and they come up with the greatest* movie pitch of all time**.

Obviously this leads to a discussion of the impeccable film work of Rob Schneider.

*mediocre

**that morning

*Trigger warning: The word penis gets said WAY too many times in this episode.

After Jon's spends the weekend at the RNC, polictics threates to tear the Sibs apart as they discuss the President dropping out of the race. Brother accuses Sister of being too passionate, Sister accuses him of being too flippant. 

In an attempt to start fresh, they replay the jingle, but the resentments persist. 

A story about their friend Corey Corbin lightens the mood, and they discuss various times Allison had thrown up. Then it turns out Brother invented the dick pic.

Brother ends the episode in frustration but vows to come back next week with a more successful show.
