Not A Couple

by Not A Couple

Tess Benser and Matthew Reddin are Not A Couple, and that makes them the perfect pair to cover fellow non-couple Will & Grace.

Episodes

  1. Not a Couple S03E09 Three's a Crowd, Six is a Freakshow

    What'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.

  2. 308 - Lows in the Mid-Eighties

    Surprise! We're back with a double sized flashback episode! As we watch Will, Grace and Jack navigate their teenage years exactly as poorly as you'd expect, Matthew and Tess talk about their own heter-faux romantic drama.

  3. Not a Couple S03E07 Gypsies, Tramps, and Weed

    I'm seeing the letter C.... No, wait, it's C...H.... It's... Just Cher! If you BELIEVE in psychics, taking pity on crappy waiters, and getting a booster seat for your doll, then this episode is for you.

  4. Not a Couple S03E06 Love Plus One

    There's a new Will & Grace trailer, and McDreamy's gay in a Banana Republic! Could anything go wrong? Yes!

  5. Not A Couple S03E05 Grace 0, Jack 2000

    Our 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?

  6. Not A Couple S03E04 Girl Trouble

    Matthew 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.

  7. Not A Couple S03E03 Husbands and Trophy Wives

    In this episode, Will is Jack's daddy... but we swear it's not as gross as it sounds. The boys deal with gaybies, while the girls deal with patriarchy at the yacht club.

  8. 302 - Fear and Clothing

    This episode makes Tess and Matthew REALLY glad they haven't adopted any stray friends lately. After Grace gets scared by a ghost robber, she tries to co-habitate with Will and Jack. That does not work.

  9. Not a Couple S03E01 New Will City

    Will's back and so are we! Things are back to normal with the Gang, except nothing is back to normal. Comedy ensues.

  10. Not A Couple S02E23-24 Ben? Her?

    In this slightly-less-than-double-sized episode, Matthew and Tess break down the W&G Season 2 finale, in which Grace gets with Ben, Rosario gets with Gardener and Will does not get with the program.

  11. Not A Couple S02E22 My Best Friend's Tush

    Everyone 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.

  12. Not A Couple S02E21 There But for the Grace of Grace

    It'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.

  13. Not A Couple S02E20 Girls, Interrupted

    Will 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.

  14. Not a Couple S02E19 An Affair to Forget

    Rob & Ellen are back, but don't worry, things still get worse. In this episode, not sponsored by Casper Mattresses, we start with an engagement and end with disappointment.

  15. Not A Couple S02E18 Sweet (and Sour) Charity

    Like 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.

  16. Not a Couple S02E17 The Hospital Show

    It'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.

  17. Not A Couple S02E16 Hey La, Hey La, My Ex-Boyfriend's Back

    Matthew 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.

  18. Not a Couple S02E15 Advise and Resent

    In a world where Allison Bechdel is the villain, "love" is in the air. Will bungles a blind and Grace takes Karen's disastrously bad advice.

  19. Not A Couple S02E14 Acting Out

    Will 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.

  20. Oh Dad Poor Dad He's Kept Me in the Closet and I'm So Sad

    Are 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.
