Billie left no stone unturned and talked about being homeschooled, growing up in Los Angeles, the intimate process of creating music and her struggles with mental health.

She also spoke about her recent appearance as the musical guest on "Saturday Night Live."

Eilish's parents, Maggie Baird and Patrick O'Connell are actors in the entertainment industry, as well as huge fans of Howard Stern.

"Well, Billie was conceived with the existence of a fertility clinic," her mother described.

The star's parents said after they had Phineas naturally, they had trouble conceiving another child and turned to a fertility clinic for help.

"So, Billie was built in a lab," Stern joked, as her father admitted, "I was alone in a dark room," and that she was the fourth attempt.

The 17-year-old singer was astonished, and seriously asked about the process and why they used a fertility clinic.

"Billie, you look like you're going to pass out," Stern said as her parents described the process of going through IVF, which included "spinning the specimen."

Clearly it was the right move, as they created a superstar ... but it sounds like Eilish and her family are going to have some interesting dinner conversation tonight.
