139. You Can Spart

Brother is sick, his kids are sick, and a late night hospital run caused havoc - including a slapstick moment involving vomit. Sister is sympathetic. WE HAVE A MESSAGE FROM NOAH! The Sibs are getting fact checked by a 10 year old, to no one's surprise. Allison is also fact checking herself, as she revisited her interview with an astronaut, and does a stunning dramatic reading of the transcript. WE HAVE A MESSAGE FROM DR. STAN! The pod's own Carmen Sandiego is in Nigeria, where he worked on his PhD years ago, so he's thinking about homecomings. Jon talks about going back to his alma mater, and Allison talks about Scotland: make sure you bring a sweater - even in summer. Then The Sibs wonder about the logistics of Dr. Stan's life while he's travelling the world: what is the laundry situation? Is there a home base? Does he wife travel with him or is he galavanting all over without her? Jon accuses Allison of investigating the listeners.  WE HAVE A MESSAGE FROM RYAN! He has some thoughts on Jon's most recent visit to Stop Podcasting Yourself; a suggestion for Allison's winter blues; and an invitation to go sniping. The Sibs talk American college teams and towns: years ago Allison went to Syracuse, New York, to see a football game, while Jon went to Athens, Georgia and couldn't find a beer on Sunday, or a place to poop. Then they go full conspiracy, and believe they have discovered Ryan's (Codename: Snipes) true identity.  BROTHER ON TOUR! Jon has lots of shows coming up in Canada, so if you want to see him tell jokes, follow him on instagram for the most up to date listings: [https://instagram.com/tvsjondore](https://instagram.com/tvsjondore "@tvsjondore")
