That’s how I felt watching it. 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️ Great Corgan interview though, when he was able to speak. Billy was kind, entertaining and very calculated/thoughtful in his responses. 🏆 Though I agree with Mayer’s hinting-around of political control (masks) and censorship (fat) whole heartedly…his rambling on fat people was exhausting. “Call it as it is”? Absolutely. But talk about the politics and capitalism thats creating and maintaining that problem, that obv doesnt exist to the same degree in other countries…per Billy’s subtle nod to Australia. Mayer talks like he doesn’t get it, and doesn’t want to cause they’re an affront to him.

We could all use a "great awakening potion" of some sorts here. Get the general public to not go woke but to wake up to REALITY of what is really going on here. Alternative media is so censored that it is speaking to the choir for many years now. We need all eyes on what we are really dealing with that matters to folks. What am I talking about here? Glad you asked. Manipulated Gas prices, food shortages, car parts inflated, grocery inflation. rent and bills inflated, the border, etc. Common folks are not paying any attention to the Senate Hearings because the mainstream are involved in the crimes because of all of the blackmail and corruption.

He's just brutally honest, down to earth, and seems like a genuine, humble dude. This was enough to have me actually put 2 or 3 smashing pumpkins tracks in my shuffle lol

I'm close to Bill's age but I feel older when he talks so juvenile at times. Maybe in some ways he is mature and others very stunted. He will always think of women as bodies which is why they need to be young and nubile which is honest and fine but the fact he can't get why people marry or have long marriages is sad. I suppose though it's his lifestyle to some extent. If he became anything else, a professor, a more "average' job, he might be a different person. He was always trying to become someone else since he went to college. I hope he is more secure than he comes off in interviews.

Amazing guest Bill. As a GenX Billy Corgan’s music has been an influential part of my life. I have the same box set of 5 CD’s, but lost the box unfortunately.

Watched the pumpkins couple weeks ago and they still rock! Loved it, maybe the best rock band ive see in the last 25 years

Billy is real cool and a genuine person. What you see I think is what you get. I met him a long time ago before they were huge. After the show he was the only one that people weren’t crowded around for whatever reason. That night there was a bomb threat at the club so we had the option of receiving a refund but we of course chose to attend anyway. The show was stellar and the entire band was really good and we just had the feeling that the band was going to be big but who knew they would actual rock stars? When speaking to him after the show, he was just a super friendly person and very generous with his time despite having just played and sang his brains out for 2 hours.

My favourite Corgan interview. Kicked back and fun! Billy looks like he's really enjoying himself on these latest podcasts.

I was not expecting this today. What a pleasant surprise. Billy is one of the last ones standing from the 90s, a true musical genius.

When seeing him actually singing the songs himself there was nothing else I can do but be amazed and have a new appreciation for him and his music.

Bill Maher has this superpower of making the most interesting guests boring as hell. The start of this podcast should be criminalized for boredom.

The word must have gotten back to Bill, because he's letting the guest speak more without interrupting. Good job!

What an awkward interview. Bill need to spend less time fidgeting for weed and more time engaging with his guest. Get it together Bill.

This makes me so happy. Love Billy.

William Corgan has probably been Bills best guest so far.

Great guest Bill . I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this episode. Billy keeping it 100%

Great interview Bill, he seems so genuine, love it. Great couple of guys.

He always came off as kind of a prick but this interview gave me a new respect for Corgan . Cherub Rock is a banger of a song.

I was just at his Tea shop for a Hi-tea on Mothers day - Billy showed up with his kids and sat a few feet away! I really wanted to geek out and start a conversation but didn't seem like the occasion to do so. Maybe some other time I`ll have a chance to meet him

I haven't watched this interview yet, I'm just now noticing it! So so so looking forward to this one

What a great conversation. Smashing Pumpkins is one of the best bands of all time; hope to see them live again soon!

Great conversation. Fantastic, interesting, intelligent guest.

Arguably one of the most underrated songwriters of the generation. Wrote the lyrics to "Forget It" by Breaking Benjamin, which is a song I adore. Between that and "Disarm" amongst others, my MP3 player is packed with gold.

This was by far the best episode in recent memory

Billy needs to write a book about his life.

This is the best club random so far. Happy to hear Corgan was not a Covidian and I'm even more happy to hear just how based he is, to use a term the kids are using ;)

We all were for a while. I started working in a hospital (one of the 10 largest in the country) at the end of Feb 2020, everything was normal for 2 weeks after I started then it was like they were preparing for WW3 and it was a bit scary. But the war never came. Some refuse to admit that and are still looking for battles. They still read our covid inpatient numbers every day, I'm guessing we have more gunshot victims than them but we don't get those numbers.

Another great episode Mr Maher! Thank you

This felt real. Thank you, one of my favorite conversations @Club Random

Two peers who people refer to as a holes but still refuse to be inauthentic in a world full of fakes and grifters. Love it

Billy is arguably on a very short list of the best rock composers + lyricist/poets of the 1990s, which would put him in the top 20 of all time. It’s hard to think of another artist who composed both rock music and lyrics in such a definitive style as Corgan.
