This week, Brendan B. Brown of Wheatus sits in to discuss the writing and recording of the band's 2003 single "Lemonade," a fan-favorite song that blends raw emotion with undeniable hooks. He and Chris explore the song’s evolution, from its themes of jealousy and heartbreak to the production choices that gave it its signature sound—including why Brendan spent an outrageous amount of time and effort perfecting the bell sounds. He also shares the story of how he sat on Eve 6’s tour bus, working on the song while Max and the boys played Sega Dreamcast tennis. With stories of resilience, collaboration, and the ever-changing music industry, this episode is a must-listen for any fan of great songwriting.
