Twitter contributed information to this report

BILL BURR

Boston comic takes his boys along for the ride

Bill Burr is, admittedly, kind of a fag. At least as defined by his buddies, who will f-bomb him for something like using an umbrella in the rain ("Put your head down and hunch your shoulders up.
