  Speaker 3: Now, hey, now, what the hell is going on?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I remember when you were a kid playing at a
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: at a close shop here in Sydney.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: And she's come so far, she comes so far.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. I know it wasn't I like fifteen?
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: I think you were Yeah, yeah, yeah, you were. You
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: were crazy.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Can I just say I went to the tour and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I watched the movie and it was the best of both.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Like, you've done a really great job.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Really, thank you so much. It really means a lot
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: to hear. Also, like I've kind of lost perspective of
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: it all of how much we've been working on it,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: so I'm I have no idea how it is, Like I.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Really need that. It's so great.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: In three D, there's a couple of moments where they
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: take some crowd shots where I thought the person in
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the row in front of me was standing up and
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I was about to hit them because the three D
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: was so three D.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: So get good on you, good on you.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's amazing.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Well, now I got so many questions. People who saw
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the show would know that they wheeled you out into
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the arena in a box incognito. But I think fans
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: kind of worked it out by the end. What was
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the weirdest thing that you maybe overheard as they were
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: wheeling you past your fans under the stage to get
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: ready to go on out of all of the tour.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, you know, I'm scared of hearing anything bad,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: so I try not to listen because I really can't
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: hear an insult or even not an insult, but something
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: that just makes me feel just overthink. I'm just trying
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: to think. I think, like you know, oh, you know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: what it really was is that that box is very
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: very small, and I'm all crouched in half in there.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: It seems bigger than it is in the footage. It's
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: very small. And also I go in there with my
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: trainer because no, I.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Was gonna say there's two people in there, there's two
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: of you in the box.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: By the way literally because I just wanted a company.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: The first couple times on the tour, I was like,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: I'm lonely in here, and I said that, and then Christina,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: who's my trainer, was like, I'll go with you. And
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: she's super flexible. She's she's sitting in it like crawling
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: in Anyway, the main thing that actually was kind of
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: brutal is the fans kind of could tell that I
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: was in there.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: I worked it out right, it worked it out.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: But the thing that they would do they would hit
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: the top of the box to get you know, to
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: get attention, and it was so deafening.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was so.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Loud and like jarring. I would literally be in there
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: just like please. But I knew that it came from love,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: so I couldn't. I couldn't be mad. But I definitely
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: had to plug my ears for that.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: There is there is like very nauseating.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: We were really rocking a lot and like bumping it. Yeah,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: almost burned.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Oh god, that's wild. Well, the tour was epic.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: And now that we know that, let's take a listen
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to the trialer for the three D concert movie version.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: This is Billie Eilish, Hit Me Hot and soft with
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the two live in three D.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: How hard would it be to get a camera on
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: the inside of this box screen? We want to do it?
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, good.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: The day of a show is for me, It just
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: feels like any day at all. I just feel like
