128. Sister Says Something Sensible

128. Sister Says Something Sensible

Brother is home in Alaska and Sister is in Edmonton at The Grindstone Comedy Festival, so their geolocations are closer than usual! Allison shares some great moments of the festival, and Jon shares his concerns about his upcoming camping trip…which starts at the end of the episode. Jon's daughter asked him what he wants to happen to his body when he dies, leading The Sibs to discuss it - and he doesn't care for Allison's suggestion so he makes a worse one for her. WE HAVE A MESSAGE FROM LISA! She was chillin' at the cottage when Jon raged against her "homewrecking" on the last episode, so she's checking in and looking for recipes. WE HAVE A MESSAGE FROM DR. STAN! Our most learned listener is at a conference on the Amalfi Coast, and went to a concert in a beautiful setting, so he wants to know The Sibs favourite venue. WE HAVE A MESSAGE FROM ANDREA! If sweet Andrea is frustrated with her fellow dog walkers, you KNOW they are doing something wrong!

127. The Sheep Coming Home To Roost

Fresh off Canada First and Independence Day, The Sibs talk parades, fraternal orders, and costumes vs. accessories. UPDATE! Father David Dore's case of AI trickery has a resolution! *FACTCHECK* Is Betty Boop relevant or not??? WE HAVE A MESSAGE FROM AUSSIE JERRY! A friend of his says that he contributes so much, he now counts as a guest on the show. Brother and Sister share the same opinion, then disagree, then sort of agree again. Jon wants to hit the rails, Allison thinks it won't go the way he thinks. He suggests a terrible idea, and Allison wants everyone to know he is incorrect. One of their favourite actors goes on one of their absolutely not favourite podcasts, and disappointingly shills for AI.

126. Foods To Eat While Crying

We had to begin with the sad news that Chili David Dorgi, Sister's beloved dog, crossed the rainbow bridge. If you want to avoid the sad stuff, skip ahead to about 8:30, where Brother starts addressing the real topics: what foods are best to eat while sobbing? Which foods should be avoided depending on what emotions you are feeling? Is angry eating funny or scary? Allison shouts out one of her favourite podcasts, Valley Heat, but talks too long about it and Jon gets annoyed; The Sibs discuss her future, derailing only slightly to ask why HOAs? They seem bad. You know what's always bad? THIRD PARTIES. Whether it's in a night or an affiliate situation, DON'T DO IT. Father David Dore got fooled by nefarious AI, and The Sibs are on the case! They will stop at nothing to get justice for him; including trying to get a bot to admit it's a bot, but first they have to revisit Jon's classic poem "I wish I were a meadow". Jon gets so worked up talking about third parties, he lashes out at a listener! Someone taking friendly fire for just sitting at home listening! The ADHD is strong in this episode as they get derailed again, this time talking about the issues with having the nasal cavity connected to the throat. Getting back to the story, Jon tries to improv a phone call to demonstrate the issue, but as always Allison can't improv right. They get the end of part one of the story - but vow to avenge their father no matter what it takes.

125. The Shrill Voice of Sister

It's a day in the life of Sister! As interrupted by Brother until he complains she's taking too long with the rundown. WE HAVE A MESSAGE FROM AUSSIE JERRY! As always, he is asking The Sibs to dig deep and look at their place in the world. Allison earnestly answers the question at length, and Jon tries to avoid answering it. Jon is delighted when once again Allison is loudly and confidently wrong about something. It's time for Ten In! Jon has 2 minutes to name ten American Presidents - can he do it??? Then Allison has 2 minutes to name ten Canadian Prime Ministers - will she???

124. Let You Be

Brother is home from the road and feeling sentimental, and being vulnerable leads him to nitpick everything Sister says. Seriously though, Jon is very grateful to his fans who come to see him tell jokes, and Nash Park from Ok, Dope, who puts together tours and goes on the road with him. WE HAVE A MESSAGE FROM TIM ROTH! He's on a road trip to see old friends, and he wants to know how The Sibs handle a limited time and lots of people to see. The Sibs talk about brass instruments instead. WE HAVE A MESSAGE FROM NATALIE! The Podmother is choosing peace post loss.
