hey what's going on it's bill burr and it's time for the monday morning podcast
for monday
august 25th 2025 what's going on how are ya oh what's going on in this echoey
room i'm in um
hope all's good with you holy shit the fucking summer is over oh boy my kids
are back in school
i think i get more sad than they do i fucking hate when the summer's over just
not into that at all
like my favorite thing is when they're they're just around and um that's like a
big um like a big back
and forth with me and my lovely wife is like she's always like stressing about
activities
like we got to give them activities they gotta they gotta have stuff that they
gotta go do and
i'm always just like no they don't they had activities all year they had
activities all
year this is what you you want them still in their pajamas at like 10 in the
morning that's how i
look at it this whole fucking thing where you got it like you know get your kid
on some travel team
for fucking soccer and they're going around the goddamn fucking state you got
your whole life
to drive around and go do shit it's summer vacation get up whenever you get up
grab a box of cereal
whatever you want to do and then you know we'll see how the day shakes out i
you know i'm not saying
that that's the right way but i'm saying it there's a nice balance because then
my my lovely wife will be
like hey i signed him up for this thing right and at first i'm always thinking
i'm rolling my eyes
like oh jesus christ what is this what what what what what is it you know and
then it's like you sign
him up and now i don't get a break i don't get a break from having to get up
and take him to school
now instead of school i'm taking him to this other fucking thing but um she
ended up signing him up it
just was like a one week camp you know day camp you didn't like stay there
overnight i don't fucking
get that at all people shipping their kids off to camp i mean didn't you ever
see fucking friday
the 13th crystal lake you know that's what i always think i always think it's
going to be a bunch of
fucking you know 17 and 8 year old 18 year olds right 17 year old teenage kids
smoking weed
trying to hook up with each other and not paying attention to the kids like
either that or there's
going to be some like fucking you know sociopath kid or some kid with distant
awful fucking parents
and he's going to be bullying all the kids it's just like why would i do that
why the fuck would i i'm not doing that shit so um but i will say the camp that
she signed him up for
was uh was tremendous but anyways today was the uh you know i don't know sort
of they and they sort
of started last week but like today's like the official you know starting or
whatever and um
i don't know i'm psyched i'm psyched that they're in school back with their
friends or whatever but i
i get i swear to god like when kids go i'm going back to school like i get it i'm
like i know it
sucks it sucks i fucking hated that i don't say the f-bar i try not to anyway
um but anyway they're
back in school so that sucks but when they're back in school that does mean
something good though
aside from them learning and being back with their friends and stuff it also
means that football season
is right around the corner and um i don't know i don't have any road i'm very
little road work this
year for the rest of the year um so i'm actually going to be around to watch
the games so um
i think uh i don't know i gotta pick pick a college team god uh speak of the
devil i don't know if
you just heard that my son was coming dad dad um yeah i'm gonna miss that
anyway so i'm gonna be
watching a bunch of sports um i'm fucking crushing my french like i i do the uh
the duolingo thing
and this woman lily you know this ai fucking thing calls you up or whatever
probably taking a picture of
your face make it a robot replacement but in the meantime you know she's super
aloof super sarcastic
because that's people's idea of what french people are like which is not true
you know what i mean
listen you can find a snobby parisian absolutely but if france is a big country
okay drive around
you're gonna meet great people and there's great people in paris um and a lot
of times if they're
being snooty or obnoxious you know a lot of times it's it's you you know you
came in with your
fucking crocs and your giant stupid fucking sippy cup you know walking in there
like a 42 year old
toddler going out going to a water park you know so they're gonna be a cunt to
you anyway um if she
when you interact with her she calls you up and you practice french talking to
her and uh you know
is if she doesn't understand what she's just talking about the fucking
conversation will be
like a minute long and she'll just get off the phone um and as i've gone along
it's gotten longer
and longer today was my record i talked to her for six minutes and 31 seconds
before she was like you
know like au revoir you know whatever the fuck she always says to me um but i
can really like uh
you know listen to her talking and and i'm i don't have to be like stopping in
my brain
thinking about what the i kind of just know what she's saying knowing what she's
talking about
it's still not like listening to english where it's like the comprehension is
just
i just understand it it's i'm somewhere between being like that and having to
translate every other
fucking word and think about it that i missed the next 10 words and then i'm
lost i'm somewhere in
between that now where i can kind of just understand you know enough of each
sentence that i know the
gist of what she's saying i'm still translating it in my head but it's like
really exciting and you know i don't
know about you guys but you know just living here in america and just growing
around people speaking
english trying to learn another language to me just seemed like fucking
impossible and i'm finding
it's just like anything else that if you just sort of stick with it all of a
sudden you know there's
different levels that you graduate to and then one day all of a sudden you're
doing it you know
it's no different than learning to play an instrument or whatever the fuck it
is you're doing
so speaking of that i just got all new heads on my drum kit and i got the
remote hi-hat and i took a
lesson with uh dave elich who has a new um drum program um online course which
for my money that guy
has done his research he's accumulated all the information and if you want the
most up-to-date
you know how to like play without hurting yourself and having to exert all this
extra energy what i love
about the way he teaches is he doesn't change the way you play he makes playing
what you want to play
easier and more efficient and um anyway um he came over because i got i got my
drum kit and then i had
a couple extra drums so i bought a little 20 inch bass drum i got the gretch
broadcasters which are
amazing amazing sounding drums so i made a little kit for my daughter and my
son to play on and they can
play beats now and stuff it's awesome so he came over and um tuned up the the
drums and i i learned
so just watching him doing it like my rack tom it always the sound was always
choking on the drum
and i couldn't figure out what the fuck i was doing wrong so he started to tune
up the top head the
batter side and he goes why is that choking out he goes oh the bottom head's
probably too loose
and i said why do you think it's too loose he goes well the sound from the top
it goes down it has
to ricochet off and come back up so the drum sings if you have it too loose it's
just going to go down
and die and he tightened up the bottom head and then all of a sudden the drum
was singing i was just like
ah like that's the kind of shit that's the kind of like drum hack stuff that i
love so anyway anyway
one of my favorite double bass drum songs ever doesn't even have a lot of
double bass in it it doesn't
have fast double bass it just has this really cool pattern that i was telling
you guys about one of my
favorite drummers of all time um tim alexander from primus this song my friend
fats and what i loved
about it is i was saying i i think i just talked about this in the podcast but
i don't give a shit
that i'm geeking out about this song is that that you know that he plays that
on the bass drum
he's also playing it on the hi-hat he plays it all and in the beginning that's
all it is
and it's like
so you're thinking like triples one and a two
and then there's this weird pause you're like what the fuck and um
elic once again he told me he goes no dude it's actually in four
it's e and a one that's where that lick is and then he's implying a triplet
feel off of that
while still playing in four and then it makes common time feel like odd time
and i'm just like that is
fucking genius i love it so um and then he does all these cool fills
it's so fucking cool um so anyway that's like gonna be what i'm working on
um and then i'm gonna be doing some shows out here in la um putting together
some dates everywhere from
like you know in la out to riverside you know a few other places so i can keep
my act tight because
next year i'm gonna go back out on the road again and um so i don't know that's
gonna be
that's gonna be my fall um i don't know other than that you know going to the
gym and all of that
fucking bullshit all right so that's what i'm up to i hope you guys had a good
summer if you got kids i
hope you had a great time hanging out with them and all of that and uh
you know you're probably psyched that they're bad i mean i'm not gonna lie to
you there's there's a
part of me you know when they go to school then i get to hang out with my wife
more so you know
it's always you know the little like push pull but speaking of push pull let's
talk about the
fucking red socks versus the yankees um i'm recording this before the fourth
game
we've beaten them eight games in a row you know and this game three it's like
we were up like
five to one or something in the bottom of the eighth they had like two guys on
somebody coming
to the plate i go here comes the home run comes the three run shot it was five
to one and i'm gonna
it's gonna be five to four like there's no fucking way we're gonna keep beating
this team this is the
fucking new york yankees
they don't end up scoring a run and then they just fall apart i mean fall the
fuck apart
and the top end of the ninth can't get anybody out we scored seven runs and in
that was like
you know a throwing era a balk i mean so you know i lived a long time in new york
i'm also out here
in la i know a lot of yankee fans so i didn't rub it in i just said hey i'm not
being a dick or
nothing right it's like we're a young team we're finally going in the right
direction i think we
could make the wild card i think we could maybe win the first round but when we
get to these more
solid teams like i don't you know i'm not sitting there acting like the red
socks are gonna win the
world series i'm not saying that but i am excited that we're moving in the
right direction so i'm just
asking because i have been watching baseball now for since 1978 whatever that
is like 47 fucking years
all right i've never seen a yankee team like this like
no matter you know good bad or ugly they always showed up to play
and if you knocked them down they always got back up
you know it ain't over till it's over i mean that came from their own guy yogi
barra i have never seen
a fucking team like this so it doesn't make sense i know they lost juan soto
and i know they had the
shut down uh what's his face there um for tommy john surgery but that doesn't
mean that people stop trying or have like these brain farts
so i just asked a couple of like big time psycho yankee three of my friends who
they're the biggest
like you know the kind of people you can call in august and they're watching
the game
not those october april fans i mean the people that ride through the team and i
was going like
what the fuck is going on with these guys you went to the world seri
