Billy Corgan

heck with it. I'm just going to tell it on your show, so don't ask me anymore. And I went on the show, and I told this story about how 10 years ago my stepmother came to me and said, do you know who Bill Burr is? I'd never heard of Bill, didn't know who he was, because I don't really consume much popular culture. I had no idea he was a famous comedian. He could have been the lawnmower guy.

Looked up Bill. First thing I saw was like, oh my God, he looks just like Daddy. When I was 18 years old, at an IHOP on my 18th birthday, my father told me, you have a half-brother that I sired at the same time as you whose name is Bill. So suddenly these facts come together, my mother telling me these stories. I talked to my dad subsequently about it, and he was very cagey about it.

And when I said, why won't you tell me where this person is or who this person is, he said, I'm trying to protect you. So when my stepmother had told me, it kind of made sense, like, well, if my half-brother is this super famous comedian... My dad, in a way, wouldn't want me to know because he wouldn't want me to feel like I was number two because Bill's so famous. I know it sounds crazy, right?

You think that's why he's trying to protect you? Well, I don't know. So fast forward to Howie saying something on the street. So I was like, you know what? I'm just going to say something. And I swear to God, hand on my heart, last time I was with you in California, I almost pulled you aside after we were on. And I was going to tell you the story because I knew you knew Bill.

And I was going to back channel see if there was anything to the story. From Bill's side.

So imagine seven, I think six or seven years since we talked on your show. Yeah, I don't even know. 2018, somebody said to me today. But so anyway, sorry to talk over you. But the point is, so here I am fast forward. I'm just sick of seeing memes of my face with Bill's. And so I just decide on a spur of the moment, you know. So Howie, of course, loves it.

But I said on Howie's show that first time, I don't think Bill's my half brother. I don't think there's anything there other than like an uncanny resemblance. Fast forward. The thing comes out. It gets a little bit of social media and then it goes away. And I think, good. And Bill didn't say anything. So I figured Bill was kind of like, whatever. It was a mild amusement.

You know, he could have made a joke out of the whole thing and he didn't. So then Howie calls me and I'm in L.A. working recently. And Howie's like, we've come on the show. Bill's going to be on. And I said, is Bill cool with it? Oh, yeah, no problem. So then I go there and it's like it turns into this thing that you see happening on camera. It's like it's weirdness times.
