  • Carrot Top | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan
    Apr 9 2025
    Billy Corgan chats with Carrot Top about the evolution of his unique brand of comedy, tracing the path from a shy kid fascinated by joke structure to a veteran headliner with nearly two decades on the Las Vegas stage. Carrot Top describes the early challenges of being dismissed by club owners and even his own father, as well as the thrill and pressure of eventually selling out theaters and perfecting an act that combines classic stand-up with show-stopping visual flair. Their conversation explores the delicate balance between chasing approval, embracing creative freedom, and finding genuine joy in making people laugh, while also reflecting on the comedic influences that shaped Carrot Top’s persona—most notably the legendary Gallagher—and how that mentorship evolved into a mutual respect marked by occasional tension.

  • Richie Sambora | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan
    Apr 2 2025
    In this candid, in-depth conversation, Billy Corgan sits down with legendary guitarist, singer, and songwriter Richie Sambora. Together they dig into how success comes at different speeds, the real story behind life in Bon Jovi, and the balancing act that happens once the show is over and you head back home to family. They talk about cutting tracks in the old days, the headspace it takes to perform for 80,000 fans, and what truly matters when the stage lights go down. Richie’s honesty reveals a side of him few get to see—how fatherhood, heartbreak, and a raw passion for making music have guided his choices. No overblown rock myths here—just two musicians talking about their craft, the road they’ve traveled, and the personal challenges that shape them both on and offstage.
