Bill Burr and Billy Corgan: Unexpected Brotherly Reunion

Good morning! It’s January 29th. DJ play that music. How about something a little different? Some Depeche Mode will do it. It almost felt like a Pearl Jam morning

So, here is a fun video. It turns out Bill Burr (Comedian fame) and Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins fame are brothers. But not in the sense you’d expect. Their father had two families, and surprisingly, the brothers are close in age Billy Corgan said while growing up, he was called Bill. I wonder if the Dad said, “To keep things easy between my two families, I’m just going to name everyone Bill.” So Howie Mandel decided to have the two brothers who hadn’t met before but knew their dad had their “extra” family. Below is the video of the two brothers meeting for the first time, and let’s say it didn’t go as well as expected.

CNN

There is a lot of misinformation going around about CNN. They are laying off two hundred employees. Yes, it’s true, but only kind of. Yes, they are laying off two hundred but are hiring another one hundred in different digital capacities and another hundred next year as they revamp the network to a more streamlined digital presence.

I try to get my news from all over the place. Then, I put it through the filters and see if it passes a truth litmus test. Basically, it comes down to this. Is this something that I just really want to be true, or is it really true? Everyone has their tribalism. It’s important to know where yours begins.

Scott Jennings. Maybe on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we do a better job than being so callice.

Lastly…..

I’m going to start watching a good show called ‘Paradise’ that my friend Kendra recommended. Hope it’s good. Have a good Wednesday!
