Mid-Summer Chaos & Classic AlexismsOur fans were begging for a summer episode... okay, one of you asked nicely. Either way, we’re back with a chaotic catch-up! Alex lost his job (we talk about it-don’t worry, he's still got opinions), we’re heading out east, and this week’s episode is packed with classic "profound" Alexisms. Grab your plaid, pass the poutine, and join us for the ride.

S1E12: Two Weeks of Consistency & Zero Regret (Except for the Concert)
S1E12: Two Weeks of Consistency & Zero Regret (Except for the Concert)We did it—two weeks in a row! Clearly, miracles do happen. This week, Nicole prepares to suffer through a Brad Paisley concert against her will (spoiler: she thinks "Mud on the Tires" is a tire commercial), Alex defends his questionable music taste, and we dive into heroic tales of rescuing birds, mice, and our last shred of dignity. Honestly, we’re not sure why you’d listen to this... but if you’re into petty marital debates and accidental wildlife rehab, this might be your jam.

S1. E.11 Father's Day Ceasefire
S1 E11: The Father’s Day CeasefireSurprise! We're back after a couple of weeks off-mostly because Nicole was violently allergic to the idea of speaking to Alex for an entire hour. But in the spirit of Father’s Day, she’s tolerating him… temporarily. In this episode, we scrape together the thrilling highlights of our aggressively boring lives, argue over who’s more annoying (spoiler: it’s Alex), and try not to start another podcast hiatus mid-recording. Buckle up-this truce is shaky at best.

S1. E. 10 We Forgot, We’re Cranky, and There’s Chocolate
We accidentally ghosted our 6 loyal fans last week — blame the holiday and the fact that we straight-up forgot. (Sorry, Mom.) But we’re back! A little late, very tired, and moderately cranky.This week, Nicole was told she talks too much (rude), and Alex doesn’t get a chance to speak. So, like the gracious podcast co-host she is, Nicole gave him all the time in the world to talk… and he said absolutely nothing. Crickets.We also cover why Alex allegedly has no life, why Nicole is too busy having one, sprinkle in a little mid-episode parenting chaos, and expose Alex’s secret chocolate stash.It’s mildly chaotic, questionably structured, and still better than last week’s non-existent episode.Tune in — we remembered this time.

S1. E9 Home Alone: Alex Edition
This week, Nicole learns a valuable lesson: Alex should never be left home alone. While she was out being a responsible adult, he was cranking the AC like he was trying to preserve meat. We discuss his reckless energy decisions, his questionable survival instincts, and absolutely nothing else of value. Honestly, it’s 50 minutes of bickering, blame-shifting, and bewildering logic from a man who once thought a duvet cover was a fancy tortilla.Tune in for laughs, love, and just a dash of passive-aggressive thermostat talk.4o
Join Alex and Nicole as they navigate life, politics, parenting, and the chaos of dogs and kids—all with his signature grumpy Scottishness and her unwavering Canadian kindness. It’s the perfect mix of sharp wit, cultural clashes, and hilarious banter as they debate everything from world events to who left the socks on the floor. Whether they’re arguing over accents or finding common ground in their love for their family and strong opinions, Plaid & Poutine is a podcast where opposites don’t just attract—they spar, laugh, and somehow make it work.
