Bill and Frank’s Guilt-Free Pleasures

Van Halen: ”Why Can’t This Be Love” (We love Van Hagar)

Our good friend Rick joins us to discuss a song he suggested: Van Halen's "Why Can't This Be Love." Chuck Klosterman ranked this as the worst Van Halen song of all time; however, we respectfully disagree. This song introduced the world to the Van Hagar era and what a glorious era it was!

Out Of Office Message (Frank won’t make Bill become a Marty Jannetty)

Well, sometimes life just won't let you publish a proper podcast episode. The demands of work, family, and recovery from COVID-19 have conspired to keep us from releasing new content. We will be back, but in the meantime, enjoy Frank's freestyle message!

Atlantic Starr: ”Always” (This Out-hallmarks Hallmark)

If there was a template for a wedding song, this would pretty much fill it. Sure, it's pie-eyed and syrupy, but what do you expect? We welcome back Chris Newkirk to give us his feedback (33:52) and he does not disappoint!

Chris Isaak: ”Wicked Game” (Nobody loves no one)

This episode may have been originally recorded in winter, but we brought the heat! Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" may be the sexiest song ever - at least the video is. Our friend (and pastor) Mike V joins us today to take a close look at a song that haunts us.

Charles & 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!"
