Billie Eilish & FINNEAS Enjoy Having Their Parents On Tour | Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend

one of the things that I noticed was there's this this difference between your fans who you love like when they're telling you they love you and these especially these young women who you've who you mean so much to and they're going crazy and they love it and then at a certain point when it's if it's hundreds of thousands of people I would think it starts to get I it's overwhelming is that does that it's straight it's a it's weirdly in a way um underwhelming when there's more people right so like you know I played I played my first stadiums over the summer and I was playing markets that I hadn't played before so I hadn't been there so I could a lot of people wanted to go and I didn't want to do you know five shows in an arena so might as well do a stadium or two stadiums or whatever so I did a couple stadiums over the summer and like that was really exciting because I was like ooh are we in a stadium it's so sick it's so big you're a star and then you're on the stage and it's like you feel like you're just alone and then there's like a it feels like there's a printed out wallpaper of thousands of people because they're so far away that there's like no intimacy I mean I talked to I I went to the Super Bowl the other day and I was sitting in a box with Adele I thought people do we were talking about it because I didn't see you there that's weird you know the name drop thing where people say the first name of the person and then they say the last name like you go like I was on Conan O'Brien like this yeah you can't do that with Adele no you can't that's with Adele Adele is just Adele but anyway we were talking about it because she's doing this this Vegas residency and she's just you know not to out her but she said she's having a the time of her life and she's like I love that it's it's like a 4 000 cap room and she's like it's so nice I feel like I can be there with them I don't know I can't write a song about that um I this is what I this is what I have found is that uh uh when I in comedy there's this it's the same thing as in uh music that it's supposed to be the best when you get to a stadium uh or and I've never obviously never played a stadium but I've played some really big spaces and I've thought I don't like this as much and then you think what's the magic number I think it's like 1500 2000 somewhere around there is The Sweet Spot of I feel like everybody in this room we're all connecting it's an exchange yeah like if I say something that they think is funny they laugh and you can kind of there's this nice feeling of uh it's a community community yeah once it gets really big and there's a lot of things about success that are like that where you're facing new challenges of like now you've got people that will people that will say like okay I want to be I want to do what you two did I want to be like that and then you're trying to think of you know but I want to evolve I don't want to I want to keep changing I want to keep growing and uh so you've got new battles that you didn't have two years ago I've been I've been in a in a I've been drowning in a pool of that recently just like what am I where do I how do I evolve and what do I do and you know I've just I feel like for the last month I've been I've been completely just literally like drowning I feel like I because dude I mean I I I achieved the kind of things before I even was 18 that are you know things that you people work their entire lives for and maybe never even get and maybe and like one of the things that I achieved is like one thing someone gets at the end of their life and one other you know when I got all of them you know and and I'm 21 now and I'm I'm in a point where I'm like I've done it all I'm like what do I what am I gonna do now and like where do I go from here and who do I want to be because I've also only ever been a teenage Billy eilish and so that's the person I thought I was and then I got to a certain age and I was like oh that was Teenage me that's right I thought I thought I was being my I was like oh I'm myself and this is who I am and you know it was the way it was but it was a me as a teenager and it's very strange to to grow up and become an adult and like the person that you you kind of finally figured out how to be in like the like the perfect way that everybody thinks is who you are is yourself as a teenager it's very jarring and uh hard to deal with well I was I was really happy that your parents came there they are outside yeah they're outside I wouldn't let them in um your father got in here twice and I and I'm taken out and I I had someone shave his beard um why yeah yeah I like it it looked really cool but I just I have that kind of power you're in my building okay right so um no he's uh I think one of the things that you two have that is rare um especially because you're both so young when this all started when this was happening is to have your parents there and have them be really decent people who have their heads screwed on right it just doesn't happen I think nine out of ten times it doesn't happen and uh that's that's a godsend that's really special I mean I'm sure there are moments where like why are they on the tour bus [Laughter] very rarely it's really fun I love having my parents out yeah yeah there there was a moment over the summer where I was having like a I need to be an adult moment and like I need to have space and I need to have I need to have my ownness and my own net and I need to go on tour alone and I need to do this and this and this alone I want to be independent and I do need that in in a lot of ways because you know you need that as you grow older but then also now I'm like well I like I like my parents being around and I like my mom coming and doing stuff with me okay Billy doesn't Billy moved away I did move away and I think when you don't live with your folks anymore you're dude yeah it's nicer to it makes you more grateful yeah do everything with them so I'm like now I just like I I you know when I have a free a free night I like go and hang out with my parents that's the first thing I think of doing what is the pattern I mean I've seen it with uh with my daughter which is she was you know very smart independent cool artistic and then I I could tell we were getting on our nerves and then she went off to college and she'd come back from college and she would ask us to do things that we know for a fact she can do on her own she'll be like for me a glass of milk like you mean the carton of milk that's right there in the pretty please and you could tell like she just wanted to be back into the street this girl's drinking just regular milk I don't know she has no she has a flask of scotch that she has on her that she pours into the milk okay that's how we do it makes it even weirder yeah this is a whole we're talking whole milk two person this is not even like an L.A I thought you didn't aren't you aren't you isn't she a nepo baby aren't you isn't she on oat milk or almond milk or pistachio milk you've got this girl on two percent yeah yeah two percent no I live in the Palisades and uh I'm a celebrity so I found a special nine percent milk got huge chunks the one percent milk yeah there you go got it no I drink the one percent of the one percent milk Only Adele gets that
