9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: them into your biggest songs over the years. And you

10

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: take our pedestrian crossings and the noises that we have

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: around here and makes sense to me. I mean, is

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: there any more Australian outback noises that are in the

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,320

16
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 3: Album, so that's it. You've got to blame COVID.

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 4: For that one, Billy, when you talk about you know

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 4: that the buzzer though at the crossing. Are there other

19
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 4: noises that you constantly hear where you're analyzing where you're

20
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 4: recording on your phone? Is there anything you've heard lately

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 4: where you thought could be a beat in that?

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

23
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,279

Speaker 2: What's That's what I love about your relationship with you, bro,

39
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: is that there is nothing that's not on the table

40
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: like you. I mean, over the years, you've seen relationships

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: in bands with like oh my god, what is he

42
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: bringing now or what is she bringing into the song now?

43
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: But you know what, you guys are welcome to anything.

44
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: Let's bring anything to the table here and get it

45
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: into the song.

46
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true.

47
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: And also he does the same thing so he'll he'll

48
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: bring just as many little stupid recordings that he takes

49
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: throughout life, just as many as I do.

50
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: So, but who gets final, say, like if he passionately

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: says no, Billy, this is going to work and you're

52
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: going this sounds like crap, who gets final say, Well,

53
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: I don't.

54
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: Even really know.

55
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: It just works somehow, like it just we just figure

56
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: it out. I think that, Like, I think that usually

57
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: one of us is more right and then somehow then.

58
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: Is there a parent you go to to make the

59
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: final decision?

60
00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: Billy?

61
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 2: Nah?

62
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: No.

63
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 4: But I love the fact in terms of it being

64
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 4: a family affair when you look at things like when

65
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 4: the party's over in the film clip for that, you're

66
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 4: out in the backyard with your mom and you're talking

67
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 4: about how the glass will come up. So they also

68
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: play a role in stunt doubles for your film clips.

69
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 3: True, they do.

70
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: And also they're like the one of the first, you know,

71
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: some of the first people we play our music too

72
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: when we finish it, because they're we love them, you.

73
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: Know, yeah, I know, I do. We do.

74
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 2: Are you a board game family? The do you sit

75
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: around playing a bit of guess who or you know

76
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: or what are you doing?

77
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, I love love games. I over like

78
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: the holidays. Realize that I have a weird kind of

79
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: issue with games because I could play a game, you know,

80
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: for like three days straight, like honestly, and my family

81
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: is not like that. I mean, they love games and

82
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: we always play games as like a tradition for like

83
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: holidays or like stuff.

84
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: But you know they'll play like a round, maybe another round.

85
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: And I honestly, when if I'm playing a game with

86
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: somebody and they say like okay, like let's stop, I

87
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: want to cry, Like.

88
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: Wow, So you become so obsisted with it. Is there

89
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: is there a family board game that the artistes have

90
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: played over the years.

91
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, we usually play Pictionary or really good game or

92
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: or Telestrations or block Us. Those are like our three

93
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: block Us walks. Is this game where there's just these

94
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: weird shaped cubes and they're just big square and they

95
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: all have little squares on them, and you just.

96
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: That's when you know the parties.

97
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: I thought it was you just going through your instagramming

98
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: bling Blocker's gone.

99
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 4: Can we talk about happier than ever? I mean, the

100
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 4: chat's not just about board games. I know you want

101
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 4: to continue with hapag. Was there a moment when you went,

102
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 4: I am happier than ever? This is it?

103
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that it was more of just.

104
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: A process just because and I'm sure you guys saw

105
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: the doc.

106
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 3: You know, there's a big change in my like mental state.

107
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: You know, when I was you know, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,

108
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: those are just really tough years for me. And I

109
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: was having to do all the same stuff that I'm

110
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: doing now, ye, but just in a terrible, terrible place

111
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: as a young you know, little girl, And it was awful,

112
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: and you know, I was just so obviously miserable all

113
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: the time. Like I didn't sugar cut it at all.

114
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: And you know, over time, I just like did things

115
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: and was patient and like got through that and got

116
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,119
Speaker 1: to a place where I felt happier than And again,

117
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: this is like, happier than ever doesn't mean like happiest

118
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: person in the world.

119
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: It means I'm happier than I was. And so I

120
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 3: became happier than before.

121
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 4: I love that.

122
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that the fans really like grab

123
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: grasped onto that, and and I just felt like it

124
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: was such a good encapsulation of like the last few years,

125
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's so true.

126
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 4: Next time we catch up, Billy, we should play Ginger.

127
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:20,320
