Unknown person: [completely unintelligible]

Line 117:

BC: Thank you so much everybody, we’re having such a great time, we hope you’re having a great time with us. Now this next special guest and I and actually the whole entire Smashing Pumpkins, we go waaay back to about 1990. Do you remember 1990, James?

Iha: I don’t. I don’t.

BC: The marvelous three... So it’s a blurry year unless you remember the day we met this young lady.

BC: The marvelous three.... So it’s a blurry year unless you remember the day we met this young lady.

Iha: Yes.

BC: She was in this band called Hole. They, they had like kind of a few minor indie hits and then they just faded into obscurity. I jest! One of my favorite people in the world. We’ve made love, we’ve not made love, we’ve made up, we’ve broken up, but we’re back together again like George and Tammy. Ladies and gentlemen, my dearest friend, Ms. Courtney Love!

Love: And he covered, like, the songs that, like, keep me sustained, so let’s go MOTHERFUCKER!!!

'''Celebrity Skin''' (with Courtney Love)

Love: Mostly written by Billy Corgan, ladies and gentlemen. The riff came out and I was like, “That sucks” and he goes, “No, the kids will love it” and I said, “No, Billy, that sucks” and he goes, “No, the kids will love it,” so here’s the deal: BILLY’S ALWAYS RIGHT!! This is a song that I wrote for Stevie Nicks and then Billy made it so good I kept it for myself. True story.
