Speaker 1: I'm learning so much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you need to get on TikTok and you're learning.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no no.
Speaker 3: If I really want you and I'm in that headspace,
Speaker 3: I can piss up the wall so many hours on
Speaker 3: Instagram actually get real down on myself afterwards, like real
Speaker 3: kicking cans, like.
Speaker 1: You just wasted three hours of your life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and didn't even read anything inspirational or helping.
Speaker 1: Any value to somebody else's life. Age. You just pissed
Speaker 1: three hours.
Speaker 2: I just watched someone go get ready with me. No,
Speaker 2: so I have been brought into a whole new world
Speaker 2: of teenagers.
Speaker 1: Going to concerts. Yes, my girls.
Speaker 2: As you know massive Billie Eilish fans. Billie Eilish came
Speaker 2: to Brisbane. They bought three tickets for three of her
Speaker 2: four shows, much to my horror, and I actually kept saying,
Speaker 2: you are not spending your money on another ticket to Billy,
Speaker 2: it's the same concert you're.
Speaker 1: Going to, same show, same show. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It was a losing battle and they ended up with
Speaker 2: three tickets to three of the shows. Not only that,
Speaker 2: they planned to camp out so they could get barricade,
Speaker 2: which is.
Speaker 1: Mind blowing in itself.
Speaker 2: Where Billy does like a run around and touches everyone's hand.
Speaker 1: Okay, I just need to ask the question, did they
Speaker 1: touch her hand?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Twice and bloody thank god for it, Rache. I got
Speaker 2: to the point where I was so anxious about it.
Speaker 2: In fact, I text you so the girls were down
Speaker 2: there camping. Jay went down with camper van because he
Speaker 2: was worried about two sixteen year old girls in a
Speaker 2: tent overnight next to boonebo train station.
Speaker 3: I text you, yeah, it's pretty funny. You text me
Speaker 3: about the girls camping out, and then we sort of
Speaker 3: spun it into how terrible your living conditions.
Speaker 1: Were at home.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're in Boondle at the train station, Whereas
Speaker 3: in my head I was thinking when you said they
Speaker 3: were camping out, in my head, I thought they were
Speaker 3: like just outside the gates to the entertainment center, so
Speaker 3: I didn't think train station. But the train station is
Speaker 3: basically on top of the entertainment center, right.
Speaker 2: And as we know, train stations dodgy times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the first person that ever flashed me, like you know, flashy,
Speaker 3: was like at the Zilmia train station, which I think
Speaker 3: is like the next one on from Boondle. So in
Speaker 3: my head I was like, you can't let the girls
Speaker 3: be there. But then Jay took the hit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jay went down there, and so I text you
Speaker 2: and said, they're currently battling mosquitoes in the tent, and
Speaker 2: you said four things. Are you doing okay with the animals?
Speaker 2: You'll clean bed and mossie insiet, are you coping okay?
Speaker 2: So I send a photo of me with my feet
Speaker 2: up on the lounge watching TV, saying I'm.
Speaker 1: Hanging in their tough conditions.
Speaker 2: So Monday after school. My instructions were pe at school early.
Speaker 2: We're running straight out. The camping stuff's all in my
Speaker 2: car already. I've got to not speed, but go as
Speaker 2: fast as i can. Yeah, down to the entertainment center.
Speaker 2: They get out of the car, there's a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of people already there camping. They put up their tent
Speaker 2: and they get a wristband. Right, and the people already
Speaker 2: there camping are camping for the Tuesday night concert.
Speaker 1: So that was the first one, right's first one.
Speaker 2: The girls are there camping for the Wednesday night concert.
Speaker 2: They are number one and number two in line for
Speaker 2: Wednesday night's concert. This is going to blow your mind
Speaker 2: because the whole thing is run by the fans. Right,
Speaker 2: Because they were number one and number two in line,
Speaker 2: they had to run the line it's called, which meant
Speaker 2: we had to go and buy five hundred wristbands from
Speaker 2: office works. It's like two hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: Also, did the girls know that this was going to
Speaker 3: be part of their roles and responsibilities of going to
Speaker 3: Billie Eilish.
Speaker 2: No, it's because they were the first ones there, so
Speaker 2: they were in charge of putting wristbands on everybody else.
Speaker 2: That arrived there for the Wednesday night concert, which meant rage.
Speaker 2: They had to stay up all night because people were
Speaker 2: turning up at all different times of the night. They
Speaker 2: had to put a wristband on with a number so
Speaker 2: that it was all fair and they were all going
Speaker 2: to get in in order that they came right. They
Speaker 2: have stayed Monday night, they've said, Tuesday night, I've gone down.
Speaker 2: They've had like three hours sleep.
Speaker 1: Rage, And you went down what day with and took
Speaker 1: them snacks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they looked like a couple of homeless, like true hobos. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they had shoes, no shoes, same clothes that they got
Speaker 2: there in. They had three hour sleep. And then what
Speaker 2: they have to do is the security for the entertainment
Speaker 2: center only work with the person that's running the line,
Speaker 2: because otherwise, if everybody knows the plan, there's too many
Speaker 2: people running to get their spot.
Speaker 1: All the rest of it.
Speaker 2: The girls were told they had to wake everyone up
Speaker 2: at two am on the Wednesday morning. Yeah, the gates
Speaker 2: would open at three am. They had to send the
Speaker 2: people in batches of fifty fifty. Jay's there trying to
Speaker 2: help out, trying to be organized. He's the bloody line nuts.
Speaker 2: This poor girl steps out of line.
Speaker 1: He goes, where are you going?
Speaker 2: She goes, I'm just kidding, my pillow. He's like, get
Speaker 2: to the back of the line. Honestly, Range, It's.
Speaker 1: Like he took his job way too seriously.
Speaker 2: There were no other adults there. It was just Jay
Speaker 2: helping out the girls. And then all these kids that
Speaker 2: had been camping out for realie eilish, if they didn't
Speaker 2: have a wristband. He was sending them to the back
Speaker 2: of the Oh my gosh, this is so good. Then
Speaker 2: at about eight nine am they open up the doors
Speaker 2: to the sports hall and the five hundred people that
Speaker 2: had been camping with wristbands are allowed into the sports hall.
Speaker 2: And then by the time the doors opened properly at
Speaker 2: like six pm, the time normal people go to the concert, right,
Speaker 2: the security come and get them and allow them to
Speaker 2: go in in line and get their spot before the
Speaker 2: doors open to the normal general public.
Speaker 3: Once I get to the sports hall, they don't have
Speaker 3: to stay in their lines, do they.
Speaker 1: They can just sort of mingle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the entertainment sent to replaced their wristbands. I
Speaker 2: spent two hundred dollars on the How.
Speaker 1: Else was everyone else doing it?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 1: There was.
Speaker 3: Surely the other people would have come with their own
Speaker 3: structure of like being able to manage everyone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I wasn't like a nickel on the hand. Number one,
Speaker 1: I wasn't informed enough.
Speaker 2: I feel like the girls were very prepared, but we
Speaker 2: weren't prepared for running the line, like it was stressed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's nothing telling you that you're going to
Speaker 3: be running the line for five hundred people. No, no,
Speaker 3: five hundred people. That's not like U fifty here, like
Speaker 3: it's like holy shit. Now, Jay was like running the line.
Speaker 2: They went to the Wednesday concert. They don't even remember it.
Speaker 2: They were so fucking tired. I made them get up
Speaker 2: and go to school on the Thursday Friday. They then
Speaker 2: went back to Boondle on the Friday evening. Yeah, they
Speaker 2: did the Friday Friday night concert. They left two songs
Speaker 2: early so they could run back around camp again and
Speaker 2: camp again, and that night rage I was like, I
Speaker 2: am confident. This is a nice little community of you know,
Speaker 2: good billy fans. Left them there on their own. J
Speaker 2: came home.
Speaker 1: Jay come home. Yeah, Oh gosh, that's just so much
Speaker 1: camping just at Boondle. I know, that's a lot.
Speaker 3: I'm a fan of you know a lot of people,
Speaker 3: but I don't know if I'd line up for that long.
Speaker 3: But you know we are of a different age group.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're millennial in the room.
Speaker 3: Well don't know, you don't understand Billy and how powerful
Speaker 3: she is.
Speaker 1: We have never been teenagers. We've never been there.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, Billie Eilish, I can't say they've ever
Speaker 3: done it. So I'm very proud of them showing absolute
Speaker 3: like this for you as a parent, reflectively great.
Speaker 1: Work, thank you.
Speaker 2: I mean they are the biggest Billy Eilish fans of dedication,
Speaker 2: dedication to the point where they will say, mum, do
Speaker 2: you know Billy donated a million dollars to climate change.
Speaker 1: She's done this, she's done that.
Speaker 2: She's all about her fans. It was like, if she
Speaker 2: is all about her fans, why is she still charging
Speaker 2: you two hundred dollars for a ticket and making you
Speaker 2: camp for two days to get here.
Speaker 1: And she didn't dress like she's sustainable. Oh I don't
Speaker 1: get it. She is ur iconic. She's going to be
Speaker 1: one of those artists that are.
Speaker 3: You know, like the Madonnas, the Mariah carry the ones
Speaker 3: that you just know whatever because her boys is phenomenal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the stress is like a twelve year old boy.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Nope,
