Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast Patsy, What's.
Speaker 1: It for You?
Speaker 5: I have watched with my nearly fifteen year old a
Speaker 5: Billy Eilish documentary. She is a red hot on Billie Eilish,
Speaker 5: absolutely idolizes her and what a role model Billie Eilish.
Speaker 6: The World's a little blurry on Prime.
Speaker 5: A couple of surprising things for me out of this
Speaker 5: in that she really doesn't realize how good she actually is.
Speaker 5: And there's this backstage scene of her with her parents
Speaker 5: and mom comes in after a concert performance that she
Speaker 5: does and they're all praising her. You know, she did
Speaker 5: this awesome performance, and she wasn't happy with it.
Speaker 6: She said, oh, I wasn't that good. Like she really seriously.
Speaker 2: Does the family the whole, the mom and dad and
Speaker 2: phineas as well.
Speaker 5: And that's the other part that I loved so much
Speaker 5: was the family unit, very humble beginnings, have not forgotten
Speaker 5: who they are, where they're from. A beautiful family unit
Speaker 5: that is just filled with so much love and raw talent.
Speaker 6: And it was really funny.
Speaker 5: Her very first live concert she did, she was only
Speaker 5: barely seventeen, and she was so petrified and she says
Speaker 5: to her mom and dad, can I bring a friend
Speaker 5: just for moral support?
Speaker 6: You forget?
Speaker 5: You know, she's got this whopping amount of talent, but
Speaker 5: essentially she's just a young girl.
Speaker 1: She's just a kid.
Speaker 5: She's still so young, well phenomenal, and she's just signed
Speaker 5: with James Cameron to do like.
Speaker 6: A three D version.
Speaker 1: I saw there was a trailer I got sent the
Speaker 1: other day.
Speaker 2: So James Cameron, as in Titanic, as in Avatar, is
Speaker 2: a massive fan of Billie Eyers.
Speaker 1: Saw her live and said, I like to do something.
Speaker 2: I've got a really big idea filming a live concert
Speaker 2: in three D. And so it's not out until March
Speaker 2: next year. It's a three something really different. And obviously
Speaker 2: James Cameron is literally a visionary director.
Speaker 1: Do you know his story? After Titanic?
Speaker 2: He stopped making movies because he was so frustrated how
Speaker 2: technology wasn't moving fast enough with recording for his ideas.
Speaker 2: So he just stopped to allow tech to get better.
Speaker 2: And that's when he came back with Avatar.
Speaker 1: Right to catch up to win.
Speaker 2: So he pitched this idea to Billy and it's going
Speaker 2: to be in three D.
Speaker 1: Now do you remember when three D was the most
Speaker 1: with the future TV? I brought a three D TV?
Speaker 2: Oh wow, wow, forgot one of the big My wife
Speaker 2: still brings it up.
Speaker 1: We got these special glasses now.
Speaker 2: And I was like when the guy said, you know
Speaker 2: your sport fan, watch this, And I watched this rugby
Speaker 2: game in three D and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: must coached the.
Speaker 1: Ball terrible rub it However, that was about twelve years ago.
Speaker 1: I'm getting some ten years ago. So obviously Jimmy Cameron's
Speaker 1: and wait you were ahead of the curve. Yes, and
Speaker 1: James Cameron. So yeah, he's got this concert video. I
Speaker 1: can't wait.
Speaker 5: So it'll be out in cinemas here in Australia in
Speaker 5: March next you can't wait for that.
Speaker 6: I just love her as a role model for a.
Speaker 5: Mom with a with a teenage daughter. You know, when
Speaker 5: I grew up role models, Yeah they were great, but
Speaker 5: you know you had to sort of comply by you know,
Speaker 5: you had to be pretty and you had to be this.
Speaker 6: Where is Billy? You know she just dresses with baggy clothes.
Speaker 6: I think she's such You're right.
Speaker 2: Enough, though I don't like that. Yeah, my daughter Lois
Speaker 2: absolutely loves her. I went to see Billy. Did I
Speaker 2: think it was twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen. I managed
Speaker 2: to basically barge my way into the Nova Red room and.
Speaker 1: Amazing, and she was starting killed it. There's only two
Speaker 1: hundred people there, and it was just I got it.
Speaker 2: I didn't really know what the fuss was about, and
Speaker 2: she was this was like it would have been twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2: So Billy was even younger. There was just like a kid,
Speaker 2: yes right, roughly the same age as my daughter on stage.
Speaker 2: But she was unbelievable, not just that she had this
Speaker 2: natural stage presence. She stopped the about two songs in
Speaker 2: she went, can you please put your phones down? Oh wow,
Speaker 2: it's really killing it for me, and it's killing it
Speaker 2: for you. You don't just be here together and enjoy
Speaker 2: these songs. And I was like, God, that's so cool
Speaker 2: that I realize she's so you don't need to do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she is. I think she. I think she used
Speaker 1: the real deal as well.
Speaker 2: Sheman when they had the live performance, when at the
Speaker 2: end of the they did the big closing thing for
Speaker 2: the Olympics, going and Hando from Paris to l A
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise did the big thing and then they played
Speaker 2: on the beach and there was the Chili Peppers there,
Speaker 2: and then there was Billy Eilish. I thought Billy Earlish
Speaker 2: was better than Chili Peppers. She looked like she'd had
Speaker 2: a load to do it. They would gave a lot
Speaker 2: of polo ralph lorrange gear. She had on like oversized
Speaker 2: triple exl sor or rugby shirt on.
Speaker 1: She looked like she said, dad, haven't polo shirt, which
Speaker 1: is I just love her, but.
Speaker 5: I love that and that's okay, Whereas if I had
Speaker 5: have worn that in the eighties, it's like, what are you?
Speaker 1: You're right, yeah, you would have got criticism.
Speaker 6: Be what you are and yeah, no, I think she's brilliant.
Speaker 1: So it's the documentary. Yeah.
