What's happening, man? Good to see you. Thank you for having me back. My pleasure. How many times a day do you get bombarded by the whole Bill Burr thing?
When it gets into the family and people I haven't talked to for 20 years... Then you have to break character and tell the truth? No, you know, the thing is... This is what's crazy. Okay. You want the whole setup story? Sure, sure, sure, sure. So where I take my podcast... He's in one of Howie Mandel's buildings and he has another building in this area.
So I was working on something and I was supposed to go on Howie's show that day. And they said, Howie will meet you out in the street or something for whatever reason. So I go out in the street and the first thing Howie says to me when he sees me, he goes, here comes Bill Burr. And I go, you too? Like, do you know this story? And he said, no, I don't know about it. And I said, you know what?
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?
