February 27, 2022Charles & Eddie: ”Would I Lie To You?” (No Good Dirty Doctor!)We dive deep into one of the greatest duets of the early 90s! "Would I Lie to You?" was more popular in Europe than in North America, but it's power has grown over the last three decades. In this episode, Bill and Frank examine the lyrics closely and can't help but wonder if this is actually a "gaslight anthem" of sorts. Also, Bill's memories of Melrose Place are triggered, which leads to the subtitle "No Good Dirty Doctor!"Thanks for listening!

February 06, 2022Take That: ”Back For Good” (Lipstick marks on coffee cups)We're going back to 1995 for this gem. Frank recounts how this song pushed him to take a stand and declare his love for ballads. Our visiting Guilt-Free Pleasures scholar Dr. Andrew Pendakis also sends his analysis of the lyrical content of "Back for Good." We also take some time to reflect on the music video and give some general advice on whether this song is a good template for apologizing to your romantic partner.
