Speaker 1: Derived from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. A lot is made
0:04
Speaker 1: about the incredible sibling chemistry that exists between Billie Eilish

Speaker 1: and her older brother Phineas. After all, they've independently wrote
0:09
Speaker 1: and produced all of her music and the large bulk
0:12
Speaker 1: of it while Phineas was still a teenager and Billy
0:14
Speaker 1: barely a team. But there's another unsung member of their
0:17
Speaker 1: family who deserves some credit for their entire operation. It's

Speaker 1: their mom, Maggie. Because it was Maggie you first taught
0:22
Speaker 1: both of them the ins and outs of songwriting in

0:37
Speaker 1: a week for ten weeks, but it clicked with Phineas

0:41
Speaker 1: immediately got it, and the same with Billy. Billy's latest,
