August 31, 2017 05:05 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MBWe are refusing to make any lisp puns, but it's really difficult (people). This week, Will and Grace are terrible at a funeral and Jack doesn't win a non-transgender cabaret award. Plus, we talk revival plans!

August 23, 2017 16:55 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MBWhat's worse: Hot tea at a night club or a recycled Venetian evening? This week, Will and Grace are too thirsty, and Tess and Matthew are too old for this nonsense. Pour yourself a gin and tuck in!

August 17, 2017 05:01 - 22 minutes - 21.5 MBWhen they’re not being distracted by Jack’s erotic ramblings, Matthew and Tess get real about the fear that you and your platonic life partner might drift apart. But they are not buying each other a piano.

August 03, 2017 04:51 - 21 minutes - 19 MBHave you guys ever seen a dog? Well, how about a con artist? No? Maybe someone who just isn't quite special enough? Tune in this week where Matthew and Tess discuss all three!
316/17 - Cheaters
July 27, 2017 05:01 - 22 minutes - 19 MBWill's dad is back in town, and he's just as garbage as last time. It's cheater-palooza this week, as Will deals with his dad's mistress, Karen invents Stan's mistress, and Matthew and Tess have no real-life experience to relate because they're good people.
315 - My Uncle The Car
July 20, 2017 04:09 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBThis episode is sort of like a car wreck, in that it is horrifying but you can't look away. Karen and Jack dabble in racism, and Grace sells her car to a lesbian nun.
314 - Brothers, A Love Story
July 13, 2017 05:01 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MBJust in time for a new season of Game of Thrones...Just kidding, no actual incest in this episode. But we do have the surprisingly dramatic conclusion to Will and Patrick Dempsey's relationship, featuring self-loathing, re-closeting and onion blossoms.

July 06, 2017 05:01 - 25 minutes - 23.8 MBThings get pretty cuckoo-bananas in Will & Grace-land, as Will pretends to like sports for his new boyfriend (questionable) and Grace pretends to be crazy to scare Jack and Karen (just kidding that other thing was fine in comparison).

310 - Three's A Crowd, Six is a Freak Show
June 15, 2017 04:04 - 23 minutes - 21.2 MBWhat's worse than having a beau with six toes? One who wants a foot massage on the second date. Seriously, who does that? Jack and Will fight for the affections of Paul, and Matthew and Tess talk Pride and pool noodles.

May 11, 2017 05:01 - 24 minutes - 22.9 MBOur 2000s flashback is extra concentrated this week, as Jack embraces a mean turn-of-the-millennium twist on his cabaret act and Ben is a 21st century dick to Grace. Should we change the name of this podcast to Not A Couple 2000?
304 - Girl Trouble
May 04, 2017 05:01 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBMatthew and Tess may be sensitive sometimes, but that doesn't excuse this episode for rubbing us the wrong way! Will and Jack try to teach cops about homophobia, but instead just act homophobic.
303 - Husbands and Trophy Wives
April 27, 2017 04:23 - 26 minutes - 24.8 MBIn this episode, Will is Jack's daddy... but we swear it's not as gross as that sounds. The boys deal with gaybies, while the girls deal with patriarchy at the yacht club.

222 - My Best Friend's Tush
March 09, 2017 05:01 - 21 minutes - 20.1 MBEveryone needs a little support this episode. Will is getting it from Jack's Tush, and Grace is getting it from Karen. Matthew and Tess don't know which sounds worse.
221 - There But For the Grace of Grace
March 02, 2017 05:01 - 27 minutes - 26.2 MBIt's Matthew vs Tess (and Will vs Grace, and Jack vs Ben). Will and Grace fight about how to apologize, Ben and Jack argue about how to make a salad, and Matthew and Tess disagree on whether this episode is good.

February 23, 2017 05:01 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MBWill and Jack go to the gay bar and come back with guest stars Molly Shannon and Neil Patrick Harris! Matthew and Tess love guest stars almost as much as they love laughing at dumb ex-gays watching footsketball.

218 - Sweet and Sour Charity
February 09, 2017 05:01 - 22 minutes - 21.2 MBLike George Michael, Will and Grace gotta have faith in this episode, where one prayer for Joni Mitchell tickets leads to guilty charity work. And Matthew and Tess know guilt. They're Catholics.
217 - The Hospital Show
February 02, 2017 05:01 - 19 minutes - 18.7 MBIt's a crisis! A Stan-mergency, in fact, and it brings out everyone's dickish side. Take a bet on this bottle episode where Karen doesn't drink a drop.
216 - Hey La, Hey La, My Ex-Boyfriend's Back
January 26, 2017 05:01 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBMatthew and Tess finally get to meet Will's ex-boyfriend who broke his heart, Michael! Unsurprisingly from that description, he's sort of a jerk.

214 - Acting Out
January 12, 2017 05:01 - 24 minutes - 23 MBWill and Grace go outside for the first time! Slightly more importantly, this episode features TV's first gay male kiss ever--so naturally Matthew and Tess spend a good stretch of this episode talking about 30 Rock.
213 - Oh Dad Poor Dad He's Kept Me in the Closet and I'm So Sad
January 05, 2017 05:01 - 23 minutes - 22.3 MBAre you ready for some daddy issues? Will's dad is the worst, Jack's daddy isn't his daddy (yet), and that's all the dad jokes we could fit in this summary.

December 10, 2016 05:01 - 26 minutes - 22.5 MBWe're switching partners this week, as Jack and Grace go to a PBS antiques road show that is definitely not called Antiques Roadshow and Will and Karen drink a lot.

December 01, 2016 05:01 - 25 minutes - 22.1 MBWill and Grace finally realize that they actually hate Rob and Ellen and need new friends, which proves that they CAN hear Matthew and Tess's shouts through the TV. Lots of good things are said about the Olive Garden.

206 - To Serve and Disinfect
October 27, 2016 05:01 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBThis episode is all about role reversal, and only sort of in the sexy way. Jack is the boss, Karen is the sexy maid, and Matthew and Tess disagree about Will.
