Reaching back into our <a href="http://www.repeater.show/wheatus/">vault</a> of past Repeater guests, we surprised Alex with <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://wheatus.com/" target="_blank">Wheatus</a> frontman Brendan B Brown! The episode begins with a discussion around how and perhaps why &#8220;Teenage Dirtbag&#8221; entered Alex&#8217;s life sometime around 2013 and what has made it their most-played song according to Last.fm. Around the 25-minute mark, Brendan joins the conversation to answer questions about the song, discuss its staying power, and pitch Alex on his dream for a Wheatus and Rick and Morty collaboration. Bringing these two fans of each other together is truly a dream and makes for a very special episode.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> For this episode, we&#8217;re donating to <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.heartofdinner.org/" target="_blank">Heart of Dinner</a>, an inspiring organization that has been so important since the Covid pandemic hit New York.
