The Smashing Pumpkins frontman recently joined the Joe Rogan Experience podcast and discussed the situation with Bill Berra. “People I’ve known for 20 or 30 years have been asking me what I think,” he began to explain.

“I said that I don’t know, but I don’t believe we are related. There is a resemblance, but I don’t think we are connected. They asked me, ‘Have you taken a DNA test?’ and I replied that there was no reason to, but they insisted, ‘Well, I think he might be your brother.’”

In January, Mandel surprised Berra by bringing the frontman of “Lubricating Pumpkins” to the show. During their interaction, Berra jokingly asked Corgan, “What was supposed to happen? Are we going to make a trap? We are both over 50.”

Following their meeting, Mandalorian actor was featured on Aisen’s Rich Show, where he reflected on the encounter. “Billy is great. That was the first time I met him, and it was good or interesting,” he remarked, but expressed his disdain for what Haui did. “Haui did what he did because he’s a Hollywood whore, and he doesn’t care about what’s happening. He could say anything, and he just stirs up all this oddity.” During the interview, he expressed discomfort with personal questions and questioned Mandel’s intentions.

Upcoming Projects

In other news, Billy Corgan recently spoke with NME in a new interview, discussing both his new podcast and his forthcoming role in the final Black Sabbath show. “Black Sabbath has always been my favorite band, holding a special place in my heart. I adored them as a child. I worked with Tony (Iommi) on a solo album and spent time with Ozzy many times. I am just thrilled to be part of it,” he said about the event. “It will be magical. There is so much love for Ozzy. Everything unites on this magical night. This is what rock and roll should embody.”

Additionally, he talked about his upcoming performance, stating he would share the stage with Tom Morello and Tool guitarist Adam Jones. “See, Adam, Tom, and I grew up in the same environment. Tom had this idea—what he calls ‘the boys from Illinois’—that we all come together and play, which is cool. I love Adam’s music and playing, and I’ve known Tom for about 30 years, so it’s great.”
