Burroughs begins his interview by mentioning that he does not make the distinction between half brothers or adopted siblings. To him, regardless of relationship, his siblings were his siblings, and he shares that they all have played an important role in his life. Burroughs speaks explicitly about his closeness with his 3 brothers and shares how, since their parents were divorced, Burroughs assisted with the parenting of his brothers by gathering them for meals. He concluded with how his brothers, then and now, seek him for council and look up to him because of the role that he played in parenting them.
