Bill: I'm always the last one to know everything!
Paul: That's not true
Bill: Yes it is, I was the last one to know about Melissa falling off that table drunk. I was the last one to know about Mr Davidson accidentally braiding his hair wrong. I was the last one to know about Charlotte's crush on Ted-
Ted: WHAT
Bill: Oh, second to last to know!

It's Bill and Paul headcanon time!
Featuring the Jon Matteson family tree!
Bill is quite a bit older than Paul, being 43 in TGWDLM, while Paul is 31. For Paul to be Richie's uncle, he'd need a sibling (most likely a sister, considering the different last names) who's also a fair bit older. If Paul's sister (Richie, Trevor and Daniel's mother) was 12 years older than him, that would make her 27 at the time of having the twins, which is a very fair age to start a family.
My sister and I have named her Joan Lipschitz, after Jon. And that should have you all caught up on our Jon Matteson family tree.
NOW!
Bill and Joan went to school together at Sycamore, and they were in the same, fairly big (8–9 people) friend group. The two of them as a pair weren't super frickin close or anything, but in the company of others from the group, they did visit each other's houses sometimes.
The first time Bill met Paul, Bill was 16 and Paul was 4, and Bill + a few friends were hanging out at the Matthews' house. Bill hung out at Joan's a few more times, meeting her baby brother maybe 10–15 times in total throughout high school.
Bill and Joan weren't close enough to keep in close touch once they graduated, but they were (and are) still friendly with each other. Eg. if they run into each other at the supermarket, they'll stop in the middle of the aisle and spend fifteen minutes catching up, much to Alice, Trevor, Richie and Daniel's dismay. (The first time Bill met Trevor and Richie, probably under exactly those circumstances, he was like "Wow, they look almost exactly like how I remember your little brother!". Matthews genes are STRONG).
Anyway, skip forward a few years, Bill's 36 and Paul's 24, and Paul starts working at the CCRP technical department. Bill was immediately like, "Huh, I feel like I recognize you." (Again, 'cause the genes in that family are fucking strong; Joan basically looks like a female version of Paul). Paul's like, "Huh. I don't recognize you." and then he leaves it at that.
A day or two later, it finally clicks for Bill, and in the middle of their noon coffee break, Bill just goes, "OH MY, PAUL MATTHEWS AS IN JOAN MATTHEWS' BABY BROTHER?"
And that was the true beginning of their friendship, thank you very much.

Honestly I love niche Lil funky Poly relationships.
Like this one for Hatchetfeild that I was telling my friend about.
Paul dating Emma, Ted, and Bill, he has 3 partners who can have their own partners but not each other. Cause while they all love Paul they also all don't like each other like that.
Paul is semi oblivious to this and just assumes they're all dating each other.

Paul (unexplainably, a natural)
Bill (thinks it will impress Alice)
Melissa (look at her)
Charlotte (places a solid 11/12 every time)
Mr Davidson (wants to understand it. can't.)
Ted (no he swears he's good at this there must be something wrong with his controller the cars are not supposed to go the opposite way- did you just banana peel me Bill OK it's on- wait what does the X button do again no because there's something wrong with my controller because why would I- why are there even races in space this is unsafe- no Paul I am good at this it's the controller you know what let's switch)
