- Billy Corgan.

- Uh-huh?

- We spoke with him recently about you.

- Yeah?

- He said you guys have a bromance.

How did your relationship start?

'Cause I heard it was a little, it was an interesting start to your relationship.

- It was?

- [Jen] Yeah.

- I don't know what he said.

- I didn't really take his band that seriously, and now I realize that he wrote a lotta great songs, but at the time, they seemed kinda like outside of what we were doing.

So, I think I said some funny stuff about the band or something crass, and he came up to me somewhere in public, and said, "I don't like what you're saying about my band."

And after that, we became friends.

- Oh, I know what he's talking about.

- Ah, it's all coming back to you.

- Billy, Billy, Billy.

- I found him quite charming, and interesting, and then I paid more attention, and I realized that he had a lot to say as a musician too.

And that's what started this bromance that we've had all these years.

- I was a huge, huge Pumpkins fan.

The song "Thanks a Lot" is basically, which is on my first record, is a Smashing Pumpkins ripoff.

Yes, it is.

- Oh, yes, it is.

[laughs] - And he was on MTV.

They asked him, "Who's your favorite band right now?"

And he said, "Third Eye Blind."

And I was just, you know, we had just put out our first record, so I didn't take any of this for granted, I wasn't like, oh yes, oh, thank you.

Like, it was a really big deal to me.
