Bill Burr isn’t happy with Howie Mandel.
After appearing on “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast, the “Old Dads” actor, 56, doubled down on his disappointment over being blindsided when Mandel, 69, ambushed his interview by bringing out The Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, 57, who revealed he might be Burr’s half-brother.
Talking about the recent unsolicited therapy session on “The Rich Eisen Show” this week, Burr said, “Howie did what he did because he is a Hollywood whore and he doesn’t care what happens,” adding that Mandel “just brings up all that weirdness.”

When Eisen asked Burr if he was “pissed” at Mandel, Burr noted that he avoids speaking publicly about personal aspects of his life and “did not appreciate” the move.
“Billy’s fine. That’s the first time I ever met him and it was fine or whatever, but I did not appreciate what Howie did,” he shared. “Not at all.”
Despite the tension, Burr isn’t shutting the door on mending his friendship with the “America’s Got Talent” judge.
“He’s Howie, so he’s sorta hard to hate,” the actor admitted. “How do you hate a germaphobe? He’s like, not threatening. He just walks with his arms in so he doesn’t rub against curtains that he owns… He’s a strange man.”

The Post reached out to Mandel for comment.
Burr didn’t hold back at his anger toward Mandel when Corgan interrupted their interview.
“You’re an a–hole,” he told Mandel immediately.
Corgan had previously claimed that his stepmom had told him: “Do you know who Bill Burr is? Bill Burr might be one of the children that your father sired in his days being a traveling musician.”

He had allegedly shared the theory with Mandel in confidence — until the latter convinced him to show up to Burr’s podcast episode for a “family reunion.”
“He [Mandel] told me you were cool with me coming,” Corgan insisted, to which Burr replied, “That’s what he does.”
He continued to express annoyance, asking during one point of the ambush, “Can this be edited out?”
Burr ended up saying, “All right, f–k it, I’ll do it,” before unloading on both men.

“Did you ever think the fact that I never told that story … that maybe you shouldn’t?” he asked the rocker.
Burr also accused Mandel of bringing them on for “the f–king ratings.”
“He’s bringing you in here, not because he’s trying to heal the bulls–t that we went through growing up,” Burr said to Corgan. “What was supposed to happen? Are we going to go play catch? We’re both in our 50s.”
The “Drugstore June” actor even trashed his father, calling him a “piece of s–t.”
“He had two kids this close together, and he gave them the same f–king name? He thinks it’s different because he’s Billy and I’m Bill. That’s how he told the difference,” Burr said.
