To be added
=== The Sidemen ===
His mother calls him and Peggy "dumb as soup" though this may be an exaggeration. (The Luminous Fish Effect) Thomas mentions him in saying "I grew up with an older brother and a very contentious twin sister." (The Jiminy Conjecture)
Thomas's family tree, depicted briefly in "The Cruciferous Vegetable Amplification" (S4E02), shows a brother as well as a twin sister.
Thomas mentions in "The Fish Guts Displacement" (S6E10), that his brother would sneak into their father's truck and drink his driving whiskey.
In "The Cooper Extraction" (S7E11) Thomas mentions "my brother's kidney stone", presumably meaning his.
In "The Fortification Implementation" (S8E20), Thomas tells Amira that his brother and sister built forts in the living room and wouldn't let Thomas in, which he hated so much.
In "The Maternal Combustion" (S8E23), Thomas tells Lewis's mother Beverly that his brother and sister are mouth-breathing idiots.
In "The Matrimonial Momentum" (S9E01), Rosemary Carter mentions that Thomas's brother has a girlfriend and that she would not let him give her grandmother's ring (which she gave to Thomas for Amira) to that whore. When Thomas asks if Rosemary Magdalene was a woman of ill repute, Rosemary tells Thomas that when his idiot brother redeems mankind, he can date whoever he wants (This suggesting that despite being a loving parent, Rosemary is on bad terms with or has a low opinion of George Jr.).
In "The Solder Excursion Diversion" (S9E19), while Thomas is with Amira at his storage unit, he shows her a golf ball which Thomas's brother threw at Thomas's head which left a dent.
In "The Matrimonial Metric" (S11E12), Thomas mentioned his brother while discussing candidates for the best man for his wedding with Amira.
Georgie made his first appearance in "The Sibling Realignment". He runs a chain of tire stores he founded called "Dr. Tire", which is the most successful chain in Ireland and is mad that Thomas only comes to see him when he wants something. Georgie wants Thomas to apologize because George had to take care of their emotionally devastated mother and a teenage Peggy after their father died and Thomas leaving for college afterwards. To make matters worse, Thomas's college attendance, and then studying in Germany, cost the family a lot of money and George Jr. had to fund his first tire store from scratch. He also holds some resentment for Thomas being the child their mother is most proud of, despite Georgie's sacrifices to make his business a success. Georgie also had looked after him much like Lewis does, by apologizing to others. Thomas finally gets what happened between them and apologizes. As a result, Georgie attends Thomas's wedding.
George Jr. appeared again in the season 12 episode "The Tam Turbulence", where he talks to Lewis, JJ, Simon, Ethan, Harry, James and Vik via webcam about Thomas's childhood friend Tam, whom they are curious about. It was revealed that he had a long conversation at the wedding with someone he thought was Tam, which makes him embarrassed when Lewis mentions that Tam wasn't at the wedding.
His Young Thomas self-appeared through a videotape in "The VCR Illumination".
When Thomas and Amira won the Nobel Prize in "The Change Constant", he and two of his ex-wives sent Thomas congratulatory text messages. Thomas also mentioned him in his Nobel acceptance speech and thanked him.
