BILLIE:
Like, the end of January
[41]
was kind of the beginning
of a very long tour I did
[44]
that was like three months-ish
all over Australia
[47]
and then all over Europe
and the UK and stuff,
[49]
and we left again for a whole
US tour for, like, a month.
[52]
Hello, my friends.
[56]
Okay, nobody's
gonna respond.
[60]
Like, I don't wanna
think of them as fans,
[61]
I don't wanna
talk about them as fans.
[63]
Those are my siblings.
[64]
They're my ground.
[66]
[singing, vocalizing]

[singing]
[86]
- This door?
- Yes.
[91]
I'm just gonna, like...
[94]
Hi!
[95]
[fans cheering]
[97]
BILLIE:
It's really cool to, like,
[98]
pull up to a venue
that I'm playing
[100]
and I see, like, a line of kids
that just look so sick.
[103]
Like, they all
look so cool.
[106]
And they're so openminded
about stuff
[108]
and it's weird
that I'm like,
[109]
"Oh, I know that's my group.
That's them."
[113]
I do as much as I can
to sort of be their safety
[118]
because they're my safety.
[120]
You know, I'll DM them and
ask them if they're okay
[124]
just because, like,
I really care.
[127]
I just try to interact
with them and talk to them
[129]
and comment on their stuff
and like their stuff.
[131]
And, like,
those people out there,
[133]
they're just like-
I could go-
[134]
all I want to do,
to be honest right now,
[136]
is go out and just, like-
I just wanna hang out with them.
[138]
Put your fuckin' phones away.
Get that away from me.
[141]
Just talk to me, you know?
[142]

[156]
[indistinct chatter]
[169]
Woo!
[171]
Cool.
[173]
Um, "Bitches", maybe?
[183]
Yeah, "Bitches".
[185]
I just want that bass, like...
[186]
I want it to blow you up.
[187]
[chuckles]
[189]
When I perform,
it's just like--
[190]
I'm just thinking about, like...
[193]
nothing except
exactly what I'm about to do.
[202]
If you think about
anything else,
[202]
it'll really throw you off.
[204]
I've had shows where
all I could think about was,
[206]
you know, something horrible,
and it just ruins the show.
[211]
It ruins you,
it ruins your mental state,
[213]
and it just is not good.
[215]
So you just gotta
shut the fuck up in your brain
[216]
and just do shit.
[220]
I like people to go crazy
[221]
and, like, jump around
and, like, mosh and stuff.
[223]
And I sort of take anything
that I'm feeling
[226]
and I just channel it through.
[229]
Is that what the saying is?
Channel it?
[233]
I just channel all my energy
to the floor, basically.
[237]
Not even to me, to the floor
because it's like
[239]
I'm jumping off the floor,
I'm going back onto the floor.
[243]
Like, the floor is the only
place that I trust anymore.
[246]
[laughs]
You can't trust anybody
[248]
but the floor
you're standing on.
[250]
And you can't even
trust that sometimes.
[254]
Fuckin' fired!
[255]
Ah. Okay, cool.
[258]
G.
[261]
Thanks, guys.
[262]
This sounds tight.
[264]
[sighs] Okay.
[267]
♪ By the way ♪
[269]
I've just learned, like,
[271]
what places are fun to perform,
what songs are fun to perform...
[275]
[smooch]
[278]
Um, that's my brother Finneas.
[282]
What--? Um.
[283]
What the fuck
was I saying?
[286]
[phone chimes]
[288]
[laughs]
[298]
Another big thing
I've learned is, like,
[299]
if you're around people
that you don't like,
[301]
you are gonna be miserable.
[303]
And so if you-- you know,
if you're gonna do a show
[305]
and you spend the whole day
[306]
with people you want
to fucking stab in the ear,
[309]
it's just not going to be fun.
[311]
My brother's my best friend
[312]
and my mom is
my other best friend
[313]
and my dad's
my other best friend.
[315]
Um, so.
It's pretty cool.
[317]
If you spend the whole day
with people that, like,
[319]
just make you happy and,
like, you just wanna go crazy,
[322]
then that's the best thing,
I guess.
[327]
FINNEAS:
Mom, enjoy the show.
[329]
MAGGIE:
I will!
[330]
Worry about filming
less than you usually do.
[332]
I will!
[laughs]
[335]
I'm still gonna
take my tour, though.
[337]
FINNEAS:
We don't have the luxury
[338]
of a film crew most of the time,
[339]
so Mom is the form
of documentation.
[342]
MAN:
It'd be great
[343]
if all they captured
was just her arm in the view.
[345]
[all laughs]
[347]
Action.
[349]

[351]

Who's filming who?

BILLIE: If I try
to get in the zone,
[412]
I just get too in the zone
[413]
and then I can't
get out of the zone
[415]
and it's just bad.
[418]
This is another thing
that I've learned on tour.
[420]
I've learned so much.
It's crazy.
[421]
But, um, like,
[423]
if you think ahead
or you think back,
[426]
you will literally
go insane.
[428]
Like if I think,
[430]
"What am I gonna be doing
exactly 3 weeks from now?"
[433]
No, sir.
[435]
Zoo!
[436]
Zoboomafoo basketball.
[442]
Heavy door.
[446]
Hello.
[448]
Are we going down into
the Suicide Squad?
[449]
Are we, like, about
to go sing "Heathens"
[451]
with a roomful of inmates?
[456]
She's looking at me
not laughing.
[459]
Nobody laughed.
[460]
I don't make jokes
for the laughs.
[462]
I make them for me.
[481]
BILLIE:
Just with me,
[482]
I don't know
if this is with everybody,
[484]
but I just feel like
if you think about
[485]
anything besides what
you're doing right then,
[487]
it just messes you up
and I feel like
[489]
everybody's life is just
trying to finish this thing
[493]
so that you can
do the next thing.
[495]
And then once
you get to the next thing,
[496]
you're just trying
to finish that.

[513]
I'm sitting in this chair
right now,
[514]
I'm thinking about burritos.
[516]
That's what's happening.
[522]
I'd fuck with
a burrito right now.
[524]
Burritos are so bomb.
