We Had Vegan Breakfast With Billie Eilish! | Friday Fry-Up

Oh my God. Oh my God. I've got to be very careful with it. Hi! Hello ladies! Fancy seeing you! Welcome to our Friday fry-up. And seeing as we have the one and only Billie Eilish, it was only right that we had this fry-up for lunch. Very good flirt. Very good. It's a really good one. We're here all morning. It went over my head for a second. I was like, wait, why is lunch interesting? And then I understood. So tell us, what's your normal breakfast look like when you're at home? I usually don't eat breakfast. I'm usually waiting way too long to eat my first meal. It's like coffee with my breakfast. I'll usually eat at like two. Wow, that's impressive. Sometimes until like four. What? I know, it's not a good thing. It's just the thing that I do. I think you've just got to listen to your body. If you're not hungry, you don't eat. When are you going to start listening to your body? I'm excited to just eat only sauces today. Yes! I mean, I love sauce. I'm guessing this is a... Wait. That's a brown sauce. Brown sauce? That's what you call it here? Didn't you just call it brown? No, it's not barbecue. It's a whole other thing. It's kind of tangy. Should we? Yeah, do it, do it, do it. Is that your first experience of brown sauce? No, I'm right... Wait. It's like a mixture of things. It's almost barbecue-y, but it's got like a ketchup-y flavor. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, tangy. You are quite the chef though, aren't you? I mean, quite the chef is a stretch, but yes, I love to cook. Because your Dubai chocolate recipe basically broke the internet. And it looks so unbelievably good. Let me tell you, it's amazing. I know it's like, you know, it's like brain rot food or whatever they call it. But, you know, I kept seeing Dubai chocolate everywhere because it was such a huge deal. And I was like, that looks like diarrhea. And then I thought like, what's the appeal there? And then one day I was walking in New York and I saw Dubai chocolate in a window. And I thought, you know what? I have to try it. And I tasted it and literally the most amazing thing in the world. So then I learned to make a vegan recipe. Sorry. Your version is incredible. Holy sh**. Thank you very much. Thank you, mate. Wow, look at this bean chili situation. Oh, this looks really good. We only bring you to the finest places. Wow, guys. Could you cook something like this? If I had a very, very straightforward specific recipe, yes. So I think you should do like a bake off. I'd be so bad at it. The Great British Baking Show. Would you? Because I need, I get too distracted. I need like, I need very, very clear instructions. Instructions. Yeah. My mom is an amazing cook. So like, she's the only reason I can make anything. And she like made me my own, she calls it mom's cookbook. And she put all her own recipes in it. And so me and Finneas like go through it every day. That's so sweet. It's amazing. I'm better at making dessert, baking situation. Okay. Than cooking, yeah. Well, let's talk in video. Let's get the hell in here. Firstly, we have seen Hit Me Hard and Soft, the tour. Your new movie. You've seen it? It's so good. Congratulations. It's honestly. It was amazing. Did you like it? It was so good. No idea. Because I loved feeling like it was so immersive. That we felt like we were at your show. But then also I loved that we got to see all the behind the scenes. Like your prep and you just chatting. Yes. Interacting with fans and stuff. Tell us all about what that experience was like. Because not only were you on tour, but then you were filming this huge movie at the same time. I know. Yeah. It was not something I had planned to do at all. And I had been on the tour already for like a year. And it was coming to an end and I was thinking like, I love this tour so much. I wish we were going to be capturing it. And then simultaneously with that feeling, my mom goes, you know Billy, I got an email from James Cameron. And he asked, you know, he had this idea to shoot your show in 3D. Would you be interested? Anyway, that was obviously an amazing idea. Wow. And so we had a couple meetings and whatever. And I just was like, my main thing that I said to him was, I really want to do this. But I don't want to change the show at all. I want to like really represent the show well. And he was fully in agreement with that. And then we decided on Manchester and we went. And we shot some in O2 to practice, you know, when I was here in London over the summer. And yeah, it was just like a fun. And you know what was amazing was like, yes, the prep was different than like a regular show. Because I was aware. But as soon as I got on stage, it was like any show. Like it's really a good example of the show itself. Because it's nothing changed for it. It's cool that you put a camera inside the box. Yes. Right. Because nobody can see that. And like, how do you guys do this? Where you're like eating. It's a situation. It's a fun little game. And I just like. Well, what's cool about that to me, because that was like an important one. Because because in that box, it's a screen. But it's like it's almost like a two way mirror. It's really clever where you can. If you're inside it, you can see fully out. And if you're outside, you can't see unless you turn off the lights. Yeah, exactly. Which is like insane. I didn't even know that was possible until our first rehearsal. And I couldn't believe it. And and so what's crazy is like, as you saw in the movie, I literally get in there and I'm I'm just sitting there looking at the crowd. And they have no idea that I'm there. And so I'm like, you know, it's the only time where I can really be like not thinking about how I'm being looked at. And I can just look myself. Yeah. And I'm like looking at all. And they're just I'm looking at I'm trying to read their lips. Yeah. See what they're talking about. And it's really cool. So when you first got that email about it being 3D. Did you imagine those old school 3D glasses? Of course. I mean, of course. Coming out of the screen. Literally. Yeah, of course. I mean, I haven't seen a 3D movie in so long that the idea of it was so kind of like childhood. Yes. Nostalgic to hear. And I feel like I just don't I don't really see a lot of movies in 3D anymore. But it works so well because we were saying before, it's not like things are like coming out of the screen at you, although it kind of happens a bit. Yeah. But it's the sense of like depth of field. So it feels like we're actually watching you moving around the stage properly, you know? And the stage is amazing. It's like a playground for you. I know. You just like running around, jumping out of boxes. It's funny that you say that because that's like that was one of my first ever comparisons when creating a tour was I was like, I want it to feel like a playground because I want to like play on the playground. I want I used to say, like, can I have something to climb on? And that's not as easy as you might think. Like originally, the tour was going to have a rope that I swing on. And then I was like, no, I need to swing over the crowd. You can't do that. And I was like, you'd have to be strapped in. And I was like, no, I don't want to be strapped in. I want to grab on with my hand. Wow. You're very much a thrill seeker. There was a moment where you're on the platform and it was like halfway up and you were just hanging your head. And I was like, and then I could see that you were still attached. But even if I wasn't, I would like to do that. I love that. I never know. You always manage to unclip yourself so quickly. Right? Like I never saw it happening. Yeah, well, that was incredible. Were you worried you'd trip over it or something? Uh, like sometimes, sometimes. I think the scariest part would be actually, and now that the tour is over, I can say this without worrying. I don't want to jinx myself. But I never got unhooked or like didn't hook myself in. Oh, wow. Because that was scary for a while. I mean, honestly, every time. Because there's no railing and because it's like, you can see it's like... It's not very... Like it's sturdy, but it's not like... It wobbles. It'd be wobbling. Yeah. And yeah, like I would, I would every now and then, like that thing you're talking about where I'd hang off the edge. I would always, every show, grab it just to make sure. And sometimes I would like be able to lean or go farther than I thought. And that was really bad. There was like one time where I was on my knees at the edge of it. And I was, I had my eyes closed and I was really in it. And I like leaned. I went to like put my arms down and they went off into nothing. Did you turn it into a dance move? Yeah, of course. So you co-directed the film. I did indeed. With James Cameron. Not many people... Pretty cool. Yeah, my directorial debut I actually co-directed with James Cameron. Little old James. But he learned some stuff from you. Because he witnessed the puppy room. The backstage puppy room. And he said he's going to have that. He was moved by my puppy room. We were all moved. We were all moved by the puppy room. And he said he's going to have one. Do you know he's going to have one in Avatar 4? He has said that many times. Now, is it true? I don't know. But he has said it a lot. I believe that it's true. I mean, I really can't speak higher of the puppy room. I've been doing it... I thought you were saying James Cameron. I got that guy. No, that guy too. Him too, obviously. But no, in terms of the puppy room, I've been doing that since like 2018-ish. Oh, wow. Yeah. And it's all rescue. So anywhere we go, we have a rescue dog. It's so great. And bring either puppies or adult dogs, senior dogs, injured dogs, whatever it is. Whoever's available. And the amount of dogs that have been adopted from the puppy rooms on tour is insane. It's incredible. And they were having such a good time. We know. Well, it just gives you so much... It makes you feel so good. What's better than dog-age? Dog-age? Dog-age, yeah. Well, you were saying in the film, it's oxytocin, it releases endorphins. Can people kind of audition their dogs to maybe... I've got a dog and he's called Sandwich. You want to send him off on tour? Sandwich? He's called Sandwich. He's so cute. Because you're going to be coming to the UK. I mean, is it weird that I've brought a picture of him just in case? He just carries one. Wow. Yeah, exactly. I have a big wallet that I keep this in. Do you want him on the... Do you want to get rid of him? No, I'll be there as well. This is my way of saying, can I have some free tickets because of him? Oh, yeah. We're always looking for a tour dog. He's really friendly. Look at all that fur. Apparently, he's really badly behaved. He's quite dirty, though, as well. When was the last time we were in Wales? He looks pretty dirty, but he's a sweety, sweety dog. Who's I love, you can't even see his eyes. No, exactly. He's got a little furry tail. You have to put his hair up. He's a baby. He is. Your show reminded me a lot of a West End theatre show, in that you were sitting backstage doing your own make-up, which every performer in theatre does, and then you did a bow for every side of the arena. Could we see the Billie Eilish and these cult figures? I feel like your life story is amazing. Thank you for saying that. Hell, yeah. I mean, maybe someday when I have time to do such a thing, hell, yeah, I would love to do that. That would be pretty crazy. I feel like, yeah, in a way, I'm like so... I mean, I grew up as a dancer, so that kind of theatre bowing to each side is such a... Yes. And also being in plays as a kid. Yeah. I love that side of it. It was a nice attention to detail. You gave everyone in the arena a moment. That's another thing I noticed. Ah, that's so sweet. You went to every platform, you ran along, you touched people's hands, you then gave love to that side, that side. Yes. Everyone got a moment. Yeah, dude. Well, it's just like, you know, it was the first tour that I'd ever done in a round like that, and so at first I was really not used to it, and I was like, how do I play to every side and not let anybody feel left out? Because it's only me. It's not like I have, you know, anyone to like... If I'm over here, no one can be over there. It's only... So I really... Because of that, I'm moving the entire time. You cover a lot of ground. I'm covering a lot of ground. I get a lot of steps on that show. I get, like, a good few thousand steps. And, yeah, and it's important to hit every side and make sure that every section is seen and, like, for whenever it is in the show that I, you know, I'm like, how's the right side? How's the left side? How's this side? And how's this side? And everyone in the balcony and everyone on the floor. It's just I want everyone to feel included because everyone's as important as the rest. Yeah. And your fans are almost the co-star of the film and also the concert. 100%. They are singing along. They're harmonizing with you. Yeah, they are. Harmonizing with them. They sure are. It's insane. It's amazing. You must be so proud. Thank you. I am really proud. And I feel like that was also the other main thing I wanted out of it. The fans are as important, if not more so to me, than, like, anything in this movie because I felt like it needed to represent, obviously, the truth and how I feel. And I'm, like, way too codependent with the fans during my show, like I always have been. And it's, like, the way that I... The way that the crowd is and, like, everything that involves the crowd is so important to me. Like, if they're not... If I see anyone in the crowd who looks like they're not having a good time, it, like, literally makes me feel sick and I need to do something about it or, like, have a moment with them. And, yeah, I put way too much pressure on them. Okay, so that's how we get your attention if we go to your show. Yeah, yeah. Just look really disappointed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. I'm going to hold a sign saying, I'm sad. It unfortunately will ruin the show for me. There was one show where there was a guy at the front of the barricade and when I was in the box, specifically, when he couldn't see me, he was like... Oh, no. And I am telling you, it ruined the entire show because the entire show I was trying to win him over and I never did. Really? I literally never smiled one time. Wait, but he was right at the front. Yeah. He must have been, like, someone's boyfriend or something. You know what I mean? Someone's boyfriend or, like, they... I don't know. It was so challenging. Wow. Because I can't help but need to win every single person over. I'm sure you did, really. One of the things I loved about the film was the use of the audio from the crowd. Yes. Because this is something that, like, massive crowds always sing in tune, right? There's some kind of sonic thing. Yeah, that's true. It's like they became a choir and just the choice moments where the volume raised on them. But was there a specific reason why you chose Manchester? Because I did hear... I don't know whether this is just, like, British press picking it up, but I did hear that, like, UK crowds are kind of known for singing constantly. Yeah, for sure. Once it starts, it's a big sing-along. We're doing too much. Yeah, exactly. Arguably, we're doing too much. Much of my favourite thing ever. Yeah, but good for the film. Yeah. I think that was definitely part of it. I mean, honestly, not to sound like whatever, but all my crowds are really good. Yeah, of course. So kind of no matter where I am, there's always this, like, we're all singing together feeling. But yeah, definitely Manchester has always been one of my favourite crowds to perform for. Like, one of my first favourite shows I ever did was in Manchester. There was this little room in, like, 2019, and that was so much fun. Oh, imagine being there. I know. I should go back. But it's, like, exactly... It's, again, like, we could have turned them all the way down for the mix of the movie, but it's not our presentation of the show. Like, it's, like, all about that. Yeah. You know? Phineas is in the film, too. But what was it like? Is that a spoiler? I don't know. I guess. I guess it happened, so it's probably not. It happened. Whatever. Was it difficult or scary, like, performing without him for the last time? Yeah. It was. It... It was weird because, like, you know, I... I had literally never even travelled without Phineas, let alone, I mean, ever performed without him. Because for the first, like, few years of my career, it was just me and Phineas performing together. Then eventually we got a drummer and it was the three of us. But still, like, anything else was the two of us. And, yeah, it had been, like, a few years in the making. We had already been planning on, like, Phineas not coming on the tour because he has other things to do. And, yeah, when it got closer and closer, I was, like, really... It was really starting to hit me and, like, him not being at rehearsal and him not being, like... I don't know. It was really, really scary. I mean, obviously, in the movie, I'm, like, literally sobbing. Like, we're all sobbing like he died. Like, he... I literally was like, Jim, can we please put a thing that says, like, Phineas is perfectly well, he's just lost. He's, like, he's just at home. His sister just really loves him and he's very, very homesick. Separation anxiety. Yeah, I do not have that kind of bond with my brothers. Really? Do you not like your brothers? Oh, I love my brothers. Imagine if I did. I love them. They're amazing. But I feel like we tease each other a lot. Do you ever have that as well? Oh, yeah. Are you kidding me? A hundred percent. Yeah, it's very normal brother-sister, but we love each other a lot and we are very good at working together. But, like, I try to think, like, would we be as good if we started now? Like, I have no idea. I think it just... We just thought, you know... I don't know. I think we both believed in each other and thought, you know, we're inspired by both. I think it would have been really hard if we, when we were 13 and 17, when we first made Ocean Eyes, if we had thought the other wasn't cool, then it would have been weird. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. You know when you think your sibling is, like, lame? Yeah. It's lame. What they do is lame. It wasn't that. And if it were, then I don't think it would have worked out. Yeah. It's still just... Obviously I know it, but hearing you say that, you were those ages when you wrote that song. Yeah, it's crazy how... Yeah. I know. You've had such a career, and you're still so young, and it's nuts. It's really crazy. Yeah. Me and my brother and sisters, we wrote a song when we were around that age, but we were just using our armpits to make noises. That was the sort of level we were at. How did it go? Yeah, the tour film's coming out soon. It's going to be on 2D. Was that a 4D? It was a 5D. Oh, in 5D. You get the full 5D. Sound, smell, loudness. I want to talk to you about your clothing and your image, because I loved when you started talking about how you just wanted to feel free and be empowered on your own terms, and I live in oversized clothing. I'm always in baggy clothing, so much so that people are always texting the family WhatsApp group going, are you pregnant? Because it seems to be this thing, isn't it? If a woman is in baggy clothing, she's hiding something, right? I know. But I also love that you've also empowered your fans, because you could see them in the stands and what they were wearing, and it was like everyone was just expressing themselves. How important is that to you? I love that you spoke about that. Thank you. It's super important. It's also like fashion and clothing, not even fashion. It's just such an important part of all. Even if you don't care about fashion, what you wear is the way you express yourself, either that day or in your life. And I've always been in love with clothing, and that quote that Rihanna said years ago where she said that fashion was like her, what did she say? Like safety blanket, and like her protection, and if somebody said something mean to her, she could be like, she could beat me, but she can't beat my outfit. I loved that. I heard that when I was young, and like, yeah, I think it's just such a powerful, it's your own personal way to express yourself without anyone having anything to do with it at all. Like you can just, and even if nobody knows how it makes you feel, you know, because you can feel it. And I think, yeah, it's like, of course we live in this patriarchal nightmare, and so it's like, all I want to do is empower women to look, and act, and say, and wear whatever the hell they want, and not be asked if they're f***ing pregnant because of it, and not be told that they look, you know, whatever. I think it's also like empowering other people too, like queer people, gay people. We are often told we have to have six packs, and there's a lot of focus on how people look, and not about who you are. I know. There's just so many standards for who you are, and what you are, and it's like, if you are this, then you must look in a room like this, and it's like, you don't. And you talk about it on stage a bit as well, you're talking about how you want to create a safe space, and you want everyone in that room to feel safe, to truly be themselves. And I think that, like we all found the film emotional, like genuinely. We were crying. We were all a wreck. All three of us were crying. Yeah, genuinely. We were a mess. Yeah. And I think that, I think it's, I think it's a combination of that message, and then the way you, you know, and hearing from the fans. Yeah, and it's unexpected news, like response as well, I think. But yeah, it really got to us. Yeah, we came to have a good time, but we cried the next day. We still did have a good time as well, though. So sweet. It is incredible, though. Thank you so much, you guys. You know, it's so good. We need to talk about Bee Bechella. Girl. You were on stage with Justin Bieber. Stop. At Coachella. Seriously. And you didn't even, I love the fact that you didn't even hide, like, how excited you were. Tell us what was going through your head in that moment. Well, this bitch Hailey, like, one song before. First of all, first of all, like, Hailey is like a very, very close friend of mine, and so is Justin, by the way. Like, at this point in my life, which is a ridiculously surreal thing, to accept. But, like, when he's up there, and he's singing these songs, that were life-changing for me, I'm already sobbing. Sobbing, and sobbing, and sobbing. And Hailey goes, I'm going to send you up to be the one you'll see when you grow up, and I'm like, okay. And I was like, sorry? And I go, no, what are you, no, you're not. What are you talking about? She goes, yeah, I'm going to send you up, so, just get ready. And I started, you know, then I went frozen, and then I had no emotions, and then I became paralyzed, and like, looking around like, did anybody else hear that? and, yeah, and then, yeah, he starts playing One Less Lonely Girl, I'm already sobbing my little eyes out, and then she goes, okay, Billy, I'm going to send you up, and I go, Hailey, please, please come with me. And she goes, no, I'm already the One Less Lonely Girl. And she goes, come on, you have to go, go, go. And they literally, by the way, like, the girl, this, like, girl comes up, who's like, you know, helping me, she's like, okay, go. And she goes, just run up on the stage, go ahead, on your own. And I'm like, no one's going to walk me? Like, I have to just, I'm going to look like I'm, like, stampeding him on stage. Like a crazy person, like, jumping on stage with him. And so, yeah. And I was really scared, and, very red, and sobbing, and then, obviously fell, fell to my knees, and was weak in my knees, and couldn't look at him. It's a great moment. Yeah, it's really good. And then I sobbed for the entire rest of it. How old did you feel inside during that moment? I felt 12. Yeah. Right back. And what would, like, 12-year-old you say to you? Stop it. I can't even deal with it. There's no word. I can't even talk about it. There's literally no words. There's no words. What were you like the first time you met him? Were you, were you playing it cool the first time? No. There's footage of it. Oh, no. Well, I wouldn't, honestly, I did a similar thing, and it was at Coachella when I played Coachella in 2019. And he, we were watching Ariana's set, and he, I see these shoes, and I go, those are Justin Bieber's shoes. I just knew. Wow. Because he was like, anyway, I have to stop. He just, but I, like, refused to hug him because I couldn't, I couldn't even look near him. And he kept trying, and I was like, nope, can't look at you. And so similarly, the other day, I had to, I kept falling. I can't talk about it. He's spoken out as well about being a sport for you. I can't even talk about this, guys, seriously. I'm like, it's just too, it's just too intense. It's like so, people kept texting me like, are you going to post about the Bieber thing? And I was like, I can't. It's too sacred. I can't, like, it's too, like, ugh. Like, it just, it's just, you guys don't understand the level of how much I love him. I'm starting to understand. Yeah, it's, like, people have not seen, I mean, even, sorry, I'm going to just keep, I'm going to shout out The week before I went, I didn't go to Coachella the first weekend because I had a sore throat and I was laying in bed watching his set and I have a video of that too that maybe people hopefully won't see, but I sobbed. I sobbed the entire stream. But do you think this is what makes you such a good artist? Because you, Because I'm a fan. You get that. Yeah, I think so. I mean, I guess. I don't know, it's weird to speak about myself in that way, but I do feel like I'm a fan of him first. And so, I see myself sort of in the lens of, like, myself as a fan and, what I would want. I mean, I talk about that in the movie, that I want to do as much as is possible for me and stay for whatever, but, like, to be an artist that I would want to be a fan of and, like, be reachable in the way that I wish that I could be if I were a fan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have your wrists recovered yet? They've recovered, yeah. that, the wounds would keep opening up every single show. They would start to scab and then they'd go, and I love it. I literally love it. It's amazing. I love it. Yeah, it's really cool. It's really beautiful. I feel like you have saved, I mean, there's a boy in the film that says, friends, therapy, nothing works, it's Billy only. Have they saved you in the same way that you've saved them? Yeah, I think, like, what's been really special about the fans for me, so many things, but I think one that really remains sacred is, like, we've all, like, grown up together, you know? And, because I was so young when this started, they were the same age as me and we were all these, when I was doing my first shows, I'm, like, the same age as all these people in the crowd and I didn't have a lot of friends at that time and so I kind of thought of them as my friends, like, actually. And I would meet everyone in the crowd, too, and I became friends with certain fans and, like, I'm still in contact with certain kids that I met in the crowd from the first time I ever did shows and, like, I still, still, on these tours, I go to places I've been for years and years and years and see the same face that I've seen since I was 14 and it's just, everyone's just grown up, we've all grown up together and I think, like, that is something that I hold so dear to me and, like, so close to my heart because it's so amazing and magical, so. It was such a great experience to watch it. I think, if you're a fan of Billie, you're going to fall even deeper in love with her and if you're not a fan, warning, you're going to become obsessed after you watch it. Seriously. Yeah. Thank you so much for joining us for this Friday Fright. It's been so much fun. It's been amazing. Thank you. We actually have something that we wanted to give to you. You do? That we had made. It's my dog. Oh my god. You've got to be very careful with it. Is this a puzzle? Oh my god. Get out of the way. Oh my god. There you go. Holy shitely. Oh my god. You two look so cute as well. This is so amazing. Oh my god, you guys. First of all, thank you so much. This is an amazing gift. I also love puzzles more than, like, anything in the world. I'm such a puzzler. And it's quite a hard one because there's lots of blank spaces. That's going to be really tough. Yeah, really hard. But it's, like, small enough that it's doable. I love it. This is also the most incredible picture in the world. Thank you so much, guys. That's an amazing gift. Thank you. Thank you, guys. I'm sorry you didn't get to eat. That was pretty mean of us. I know. But thank you for the food. Sorry. It was good. The potatoes are delicious.
