    A text from cousin Scott leads Sister to question Brother's string knowledge but also spurs her to update the intro for this week. Plus it leads to our first squabble of the day!

    ANDREA LEFT US A MESSAGE! Well, technically 2 messages, one to give some context. While Jon and Allison discuss where the world is at and why context matters, they get side tracked talking about Noah's Ark.

    Andrea shares a personal story that she thinks may resonate with Allison, and oh boy does it! A sincere chat follows, then we get into Andrea's question for The Sibs: escape plans! What do people need to know about Canada and where should they go?

    Allison talks about Tod Maffin https://todmaffin.com who is helping healthcare professionals relocate to Canada. In a surprising turn, it's not talking politics that causes a squabble, but inaccuracies about the floor plan of the house they grew up in.

    The Sibs discover they had been paying attention to different sides of the same comedian, so his current stance is less surprising to one of them.

    TIM ROTH LEFT US A MESSAGE! He's gotten a little in his head since his Brother/Sister anthem played, but he also has a question about concerts.

    One final squabble about how to define the roles of Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor in the band Blue Rodeo, and it's Sibs out!

    Brother Sister Alert! The squabbling starts right away as The Sibs debate what counts as foley (making sounds for film), when Brother critiques Sister's sound effects, which is were inspired by Brett Gelman.

    Jon is in Leftbridge, Alberta telling jokes, and almost made a new friend - but he doesn't need more friends because he has children. Allison tries to see how much of the Lord's prayer she knows, and The Sibs talk about famous prayers and the Law of the Wolf Pack. Nothing like 2 secular idiots talking about religion!

    Jon has a big errand to do and is wondering how he can pawn it off on someone else. Allison used to play the double bass, but it's big and dumb and The Sibs talk about which instruments are good, and which are bad.

    TIM ROTH SENT US A SONG! Last week was a cliffhanger, as Tim Roth promised a song but couldn't send it. But we have it now and it is a BEAUTY!

    The Sibs give listeners a taste, and have a quick squabble about Tim's music influences. Brother tells a story from the previous night that he can sort of remember, Sister checks where Michael Winslow is now, and they wrap up the show and play Tim's whole song.

    We're kicking it off with a squabble! Brother attempts to educate on the number 102, and Sister immediately questions him. ***NOTE: Neither sibling realizes during recording that this is actually episode 103.***

    Allison and their parents went to a family party, but we don't really have time to get into it because this is a real correspondence episode!

    KRIS WROTE US A MESSAGE! Allison is pretty sure she used to work with Kris and after a quick scientific argument, The Sibs get into Kris' imaginary brother and her question: if the US and Canada go to war will it be Brother vs Sister????

    PAUL WROTE US A MESSAGE! He's updating us on his situation with his sister, after soft tortillas caused a rift that has potentially led to reconciliation!

    TIM ROTH LEFT US A MESSAGE! He claims he has a song to sing for us, but does he?!?! There's a second anonymous message, will it be our tune?

    Brother goes on a tangent about #barfart and Sister gets annoyed. They eventually go back to messages.

    NATALIE WROTE US A MESSAGE! She challenges The Sibs to imagine a world where they are tasked with producing an international belching competition, and imagine they do. Welcome to Lollapaburpza!

    TIM ROTH LEFT US ANOTHER MESSAGE! Is it a song or do we end on a cliffhanger?
