Plaid & Poutine

Mid-Summer Chaos & Classic Alexisms Our 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) 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 la...

S1 E11: The Father’s Day Ceasefire Surprise! 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), a...

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 absol...

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 onc...

This week, we take you inside our camping getaway—complete with turkey attacks, marital bickering, and Alex sleeping on a kitchen table. Nicole feared we wouldn’t survive the drive there (his driving is a thrill ride no one asked for), while Alex just wanted a mattress and maybe some peace. We also chat about work, parenting, and the many ways we expertly annoy each other on a daily basis. Come fo...

We’re back! (Did you miss us? It’s okay, our two loyal fans did.) Alex kicks things off with an explanation for ghosting the podcast last week — blame his Easter dinner, not his charming Scottish accent. This week, we make it up to you by serving a piping hot plate of absolutely nothing exciting — just some solid banter about shepherd’s pie, the soul-crushing drama of the election, and the thrilli...

It’s a classic domestic showdown this week! Alex accuses Nicole of being grumpy (bold move), while Nicole fires back that Alex is just straight-up annoying — balance restored. 🚨 The great motorcycle debate revs up as Alex dreams of life on two wheels, but Nicole (a.k.a. the Minister of Safety and Sanity) shuts it down faster than a Scottish rainstorm. No helmet required when you're not allowe...

Alex claims the Scots invented the world, Nicole carries the adulting (and parenting), and separate bedrooms just might save their marriage. Throw in a new truck, a wild bucket list, and — good news — the audio is actually fixed this week! It’s classic Plaid & Poutine chaos! 🎙️🚚🏴

This week, Alex confesses to spending hundreds on Blue Jays merch after attending exactly one game—because nothing says lifelong fan like a hat you never wear and a shirt still sporting the tags. Nicole, naturally, is confused but not surprised. Then we dive into a slightly awkward, very real debate: should we go to church? Our views don’t exactly match (shocking, we know), but we keep it respectf...

Things went off the rails in Episode 3 of Plaid & Poutine — and we’re not just talking about car shopping! We spent the day test driving trucks, debating Alex’s maybe-fake Scottish accent, and trying to keep it together when real life barged into the podcast—literally. Mid-recording, our son stormed in to deny he’d hurt himself doing long jump in the living room… even though he has zero athlet...

e went out for St. Patrick’s Day, and now we’re suffering—not from a hangover, but from being old . Nicole embraced the Irish spirit, while Alex, ever the proud Scot, refused to participate. Then, just as we were bonding over our aches and pains, Alex hijacked the episode to publicly humiliate Nicole, airing out her most embarrassing public mishaps. It’s ruthless, it’s hilarious, and it’s probably...

In this episode, Alex and I catch up on life over the past year and I'm shocked to find out Alex somehow missed Sesame Street ( Did you even grow up in the 90's dude?), and apparently, his childhood was straight out of 1812 Scotland. Future Episodes will drop on Mondays!
