Conrad Flynn, Part 3 | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan

The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan

Billy Corgan welcomes Conrad Flynn back for round three—and neither of them knows where the conversation is headed until it happens.

Flynn traces the political forces surrounding Britpop and Oasis, while Billy recalls being approached by the Bush administration. They explore the mythology of ancient aliens, the rebranding of UFOs as UAPs, and why these stories continue to shape how we understand humanity.

The conversation turns to authenticity in show business: Are stars revealing their true selves, or creating characters designed to connect with an audience? Billy reflects on his own Zero and Glass personas as they examine the backlash against carefully constructed celebrity identities.

And finally, they ask whether AI is quietly becoming something people worship without even realizing it.
