86. An Accidental Mullet 09/24/2025

86. An Accidental Mullet Brother kicks the show off with that age old question: would you rather be blind or deaf? Which reminds Sister of a BB incident. The Sibs are clearly in a dark mood as they discuss when it’s appropriate to preserve a child’s bedroom, and the most morbid unit of measurement. Jon is in Ottawa at their childhood home, which means travel talk. Allison saw the movie HIM and they argue about Dazed and Confused. Jackson makes a brief cameo before The Sibs wrap up with a highly intelligent conversation about Nikola Tesla, the liminal state, and the pros and cons of the slogan Elbows Up. /episode/index/show/19a47e1a-87ea-4a41-a8cc-53439eebc665/id/38334630

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) 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

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.
