Billy Corgan Tells Hilarious Dennis Rodman Stories - Joe Rogan

Hi monster, he's very physical, it's a strange comparison, but in the past he used to hang out with Dennis Rodman a lot when he was just bowling and he had strange strength, similar body, he looked very long, yeah, like you don't . Look at him and think the muscles are fine and Rodman could pick up a 250 pound man with one hand and lift him over a rope. I saw him do it at a club he was performing at. Dennis from Swart Rich about the guy picked him up like this and then even people would remember NBA fans, Dennis used to guard her there Dennis used to guard the shack one on one, yeah, and that was when Shaq was what you know, three forty years.

I think Dennis was fair and that's when they had everything. Which is that you still can't use your hand on the elbow and all that stuff, he protects him one by one with monstrous strength and you're like you look at him and think how is that possible, yeah, some guys have that weird mm- Hmm, whatever it is, a lot of times it's those long guys, something to do with long limbs and leverage and it's like "this if they have a lot of time, since they have a certain amount of muscle with those long limbs and a longer average Long, look at this." Look, look good, strange look, and this, you know, is like the time when I was dating Dennis.

I mean, look at the size of Dennis compared to Shaq, he's crazy, if you didn't know he was Dennis Rodman, he was just an NBA scrub, right? you would think there's no way that guy would protect him one on one especially Shaq in his prime there's no way yeah he's rotten he's a crazy guy interesting he talks a crazy funny story please you gotta a good story, yes, it used to come out a lot. with Dennis and you know I haven't seen him in years I was in a restaurant in Chicago not long ago and someone said oh you guys are friends of Dennis right yeah yeah oh he's upstairs oh really let's go upstairs Dennis is crying, oh my God.

I miss my friend and I, we're hanging out with them telling old

stories

, you know, I haven't seen him in seven or eight years. This is cool, like when you see a friend that you really love and is really loving, and Dennis is one of those people at some point he just gets up and walks away I think he's going to pee, okay, about 10 minutes go by, I tell him. the waitress: Dennis, go away, yeah, he's gone, okay, I guess he's gone, that's how right he is. They didn't even say goodbye, they just left. I got up the next morning.

I turned on the television. Dennis Rodman is in North Korea. OK. By the way, I spent an hour and a half with him. He didn't say anything about going to North Korea. When I turn on the TV it's like Dennis Rodman is in North Korea, so I text my friend and say, have you seen the news? You know what I'm saying? He turned on the television and told me what channel. I told him it doesn't matter and two. The minutes pass by because he went through the same thing, you know. Wow, yeah, what's his deal with that North Korean guy?

He just goes there and hangs out with him and yeah, this is a really genuine, you know, naive-at-heart person, so to the best of my understanding, since he really believes that he can affect the world in a positive way, so Dennis, There isn't a bad bone in Dennis' body. Wow, Dennis has his problems, but he's not a bad-hearted guy, so in his kind of crazy ideological framework, he actually thinks he's helping. so he thinks he can go in there and talk some sense into that guy or play open basketball, you know whatever, yeah, I mean, it's not a good shot, I mean, you know what I mean, it's not It's a good shot. but yeah, I mean he's hanging around a murderous dictator hoping for the best, but that's what I mean by naivety and I don't want to cast a shadow on Dennis.

I really love Dennis. It has been nothing but total love for me. my life, but in a very naive way I would believe that he is actually helping, it's a very mafia move to go there, although I mean it's strange, the other side of Dennis makes some sense, it's like he does it, yeah, remember . when he would dress up and crawl around and yeah, you know, it's like I'm that guy, yeah, so it kind of works on him again. I'm not trying to speak for him, but he was one of my favorite guys on Celebrity Rehab. because he worked out every day drinking water yeah I used to go to the Bulls locker room after games and he worked out after games we actually went in because we were going out clubbing or whatever and you go to the locker room . and he would be training, we have to sit and wait for him to come out another 40 minutes after the game and he played, it's not like he had a knee injury, I mean he played the whole game, what kind of training? he likes lifting weights or something like a treadmill, you know whatever he was doing, why and he didn't, it wasn't like light stretching, it was like the Energizer Bunny and then we went out and stayed outside the whole time. evening.

Jesus says quick, you want a quick. story so I'm hanging out with the Bulls it's the first time they've played Utah and it's very if the series the Bulls probably should have lost but they didn't it's the famous game where the famous series where Michael had the flu and scored 36 points and If you know that game it's like one of the most famous games Michael Lidget had a crazy flu and he scored 36 and they won the game and they won the series so between one of those games Dennis meets a billionaire there's a day off we get on the plane of the billionaires and we fly to Las Vegas we stay out all night gambling and this is Dennis, as you know, rubbing dice on people's bodies and rolling the dice so drunk that they swing out of the you know, the dice pit . and I mean a total disaster and you're thinking how this is going to help us win a championship, very fan mentality.

I'm thinking, you know naively, I'm going to control them so we stay out all night. Until then we never went to bed, we flew on the private plane back to do the morning press shoot in Utah, so we were only in Vegas for about eight hours, so at 9:00 A.M. I'm sitting in the stands, I haven't slept at all, they're doing whatever during filming and Dennis comes up and says let's go back to the hotel, no, let's go back to Vegas, so after the morning shoot I drove to the airport. fly commercially because now the billionaire will not win again and he gets on a commercial plane and he has given me why I don't want to go back to Las Vegas with him.

Jesus, a bad day off and this is during the NBA Finals, so through some guy. That's weird, you know how the world works. I'm somewhere I don't play. I'm going to play mini-golf or something in Park City, Utah, where the Bulls were staying and Phil Jackson and his families were there, as opposed to an off-. day and Phil gave me the death stare because I was responsible for Dennis going to Las Vegas, rock stars you don't understand, I'm the one telling him not to go, I want to win a championship or at least have one now, what are you doing? to say to Phil Jackson?

Have you ever met Phil Jackson? No. Phil Jackson is an intimidating guy, he plays very zen on television, but in person he is very intimidating six seven six eight and he was legitimately mad at you, let's just say it. It wasn't a pleasant encounter and I love Phil Jackson. I mean, I loved those years. I loved those teams and I was lucky to be around them for a long time. He used to say, "look watching these teams like the 1927 Yankees." I mean, you'll look back very fondly. right now and even being in that bubble and it was amazing, but yeah, I mean seeing the shadow of Phil Jackson in the Bulls heyday, it was so much fun and I'm playing miniature golf and you know, this is so awkward that It `s

hilarious
