Brother Sister The Podcast

Two semi-notable siblings, Jon and Allison Dore, talk about their childhood, life, and a whole lotta nonsense.

85. #1 Bronco 09/17/2025

85. #1 Bronco Sister is back and The Sibs are in sync, but Brother immediately ruins it by being critical of her storytelling. The Sibs ruminate on Steve Coogan's career, then Allison explains some miscommunications from last week. Jon is having trouble with his youngest child, and he takes it out on Allison, and the ensuing argument leads them to the realization that the Amish were right. NURI WROTE US A MESSAGE! Nuri had a friend flake out on plans, and is frustrated how often this happens? Can The Sibs relate? Do they have any advice? Can they stay on topic long enough to actually answer?

84. Brother By Himself (Except Not Really) 09/09/2025

84. Brother By Himself (Except Not Really) Brother is all alone because Sister is in the madness of the Toronto International Film Festival! But because he's codependent he gets his fiancee Christina to sit in. After talking about Christina's incredible work in advocacy, they get to Allison's first message, and Jon is immediately bored. With her second message, Allison prompts Jon to tell a story he doesn't want to tell. WE HAVE A MESSAGE FROM ANDREA! The sweet Texan middle child is eating alone and getting on dating apps. Christina and Jon weigh in, and then play Allison's message response to Andrea, which blatantly violates all Jon's messageing rules, and clearly highlights her sleep deprivation because what is she talking about?!?!? /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/38148820

83. A Dirty Animals Food of Crackers 09/03/2025

83. A Dirty Animals Food of Crackers NOTE FROM SISTER Monday was a holiday in Canada and I kept thinking yesterday was Monday, I'm so sorry this is being posted late! To save time here's the AI synopsis of the episode: Join Jon and Allison as they dive into a whirlwind of sibling banter, where no topic is too trivial and no joke is off-limits. From debating the merits of Triscuits to the unexpected uses of household items, their playful exchanges and quick wit promise to keep you entertained. Tune in for a dose of humor, nostalgia, and the kind of sibling rivalry that only comes from years of shared history. Don't miss out on the laughter and light-hearted fun! Ugh, see why AI sucks? We also talk favourite vessels, Allison is on her Grimace bullshit again, and Jon is oppressed by the monarchy. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/38073555

82. A Metaphorical Whiff of Your Garbage 08/26/2025

82. A Metaphorical Whiff of Your Garbage 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. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/37965220

81. Captain Fun and Captain Crunch 08/20/2025

81. Captain Fun and Captain Crunch 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. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/37885835

80. The Hangover 08/12/2025

80. The Hangover 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. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/37786370

79. Do Do Do Looking Out My Backdoor 08/05/2025

79. Do Do Do Looking Out My Backdoor 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. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/37688305

78. Guest Free For Jeremy 07/29/2025

78. Guest Free For Jeremy 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. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/37597345

77. Sister Flies Solo (Sort Of) 07/22/2025

77. Sister Flies Solo (Sort Of) 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. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/37497245

76. We've Ruined Podcasting 07/15/2025

76. We've Ruined Podcasting 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! /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/37421210

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?

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. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/37142710

71. Your Vegetarianism is Ruining Us The show begins with The Sibs talking about the greatest TV theme song of all time: 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. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/36947145

70. Sister's Weird Stories 06/03/2025

70. Sister's Weird Stories 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 , 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 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. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/36828630

69. Go on, You were going to say something stupid 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 /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/36724010

68. The Facade of Normalcy 05/20/2025

68. The Facade of Normalcy 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??? /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/36632580

67. It Could Be Worse 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! /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/36547345

66. We're Not Graham and Dave (or Alan and Simon) 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. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/36454265

65. Let Them Cook 04/29/2025

65. Let Them Cook 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.

64. Cliffhanger After getting through some nonsense, Brother gives us an update on the egg situation. Sister wants to talk about a movie she watched, but Jon is relentlessly interrogating her about her clothing choices. A meltdown ensues. Long story short: Allison loves Viola Davis. A MESSAGE FROM ANDREA! Andrea kindly answers some questions Allison had about her last message, and vulnerably admits it's nervewracking leaving a message, to which Jon takes offense. A meltdown ensues. Long story short: everyone loves Andrea. Jon huffs gas, Allison tries to prolong the episode, and there's a new t-shirt design on the horizon. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/36236995

63. The Egg Thief 04/15/2025

63. The Egg Thief One thing about The Sibs - they can talk about anything. Pizza. Barbicide. Olive anuses. Jon recounts borrowing eggs from a neighbor, but was it stealing? Allison tells the story of a time when someone got mad at her for NOT stealing something. The Volley Bears made the playoffs! Do they have what it takes to make it to the championships???

62. Colonel Manders (Sister's BFF Amanda) This week The Sibs welcome Allison's best friend Amanda on the show! Memories from their youth (spoiler alert: Jon doesn't remember anything), and some big time realness. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/36059890

61. The Scorpion and The Frog 04/01/2025

61. The Scorpion and The Frog As soon as they hit record The Sibs get sidetracked, sparking a discussion on memory and lack thereof. POWER OUTAGE! Allison’s neighbourhood is suffering the after effects of an ice storm, leading to squabbles about the legendary ice storm of ’97 or ’98, these idiots don’t know. Jon admits he doesn’t really have a system for remembering things and Allison offers unsolicited advice, which goes great. Jon reveals he and Christina have joined a sports team with their “friends”. They briefly get distracted by Alan Partridge and then they are on to MESSAGE TIME! Our favourite (favorite in the US) Middle Child, Andrea, has a sweet story and a question for The Sibs, which warms their hearts while making them feel bad about their petty bullshit, but also reminisce about the magic of cassette tapes. LEAVE US A MESSAGE! Go to and leave a voicemail or an email! /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/35948640

60. Don't Be an Allison, Be a Lisa 03/25/2025

60. Don't Be an Allison, Be a Lisa Brother and Sister don't know how to say words, and they share some embarassing school memories. Allison just has a visit with their parents, and once again MacBeth caused issues. Jon has suggestions of improvement for Maynard's Wine Gums and the Coen Brothers. LISA LEFT A MESSAGE! Jon is so relieved his rash decision to suspend her from leaving messages for 5 episodes hasn't come between them. We find out what Lisa does, and what she was named "Most Likely To" in high school, leaving The Sibs to try and remember their senior years of high school. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/35857410

57. A Different City in Everytown 03/04/2025

57. A Different City in Everytown Brother has a new musical obsession that he must share with Sister before the show can go on. Podmother Natalie Lisinska left The Sibs a message asking them to weigh in on a squabble with her husband: is there a right way to make a sandwich? And they're off! Strong stances on lettuce, sauces, and bread - combined with an unwillingness to compromise - led to many small squabbles of their own. Attempying to define a sandwich does not go well. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/35530865

56. Two Beer Podcast 02/26/2025

56. Two Beer Podcast The Sibs square off in the most intense podcast battle to date... well, they talk about a bunch of cool stuff anyway. Brother is home alone for the first time in years, and realizes that Jehovah's Witnesses are the best. Sister has returned from Costa Rica, but this time it was her best friend Amanda who got food poisoning. Allison is a goodwill Ambassador. Jon drinks 2 beers. National anthems. Psychics. Trolls. It's a real beauty. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/35432030
