Justin Bieber: Whoo!
Mo' Bounce Yeah, you don't even, you just said…
Justin Bieber: Number 1!
Mo' Bounce [laughs]
Justin Bieber: I'm number 1, baby!
Mo' Bounce Well, can you say what you said before?
Justin Bieber: Yeah baby!
Mo' Bounce Can we bleep it?
Justin Bieber: Wohoo
Mo' Bounce Do you want to say it?
Justin Bieber: Whoo
Mo' Bounce Number one! Now hold a second, hold a second.
Justin Bieber: Whoo. I'm taking this interview where it needs to go.
Mo' Bounce Justin.
Justin Bieber: Right to the top.
Mo' Bounce Slow it down a second. Not only number one…
Justin Bieber: Is it too early for this?
Mo' Bounce but the first young male…
Justin Bieber: Yes.
Mo' Bounce …to make it to that spot.
Justin Bieber: Yes.
Mo' Bounce Now we go whoo!!
Justin Bieber: Wohoo!
Mo' Bounce Whoo!'
Justin Bieber: Regardless, even if I wasn't, it's still dope that I'm number 1.
Mo' Bounce Ah, you know what's crazy to about this whole thing is that you've been around the world a zillion freaking times. You've, you sell out everything. You sell records, I mean everything happens for you but I don't think a lot of people realize as much that when you announce it, especially on your Instagram, you're like "Hey, this is my first number one." Like that's so rare to see someone come to your, you know, height in your career and then it's like "Hey, it's my first number one" How many years in, like that's unreal. I mean how does that feel now? Do you need that number one? Is it always a need…
Justin Bieber: Oh, I don't need…
Mo' Bounce or is it like you know.
Justin Bieber: I don't necessarily need it but it feels good because it's good music. It's the music that I want to put out and stuff so. That's what feels awesome is that like, it came from me. It just didn't come from like the label saying cut this song, do this. It was all from myself so that's what feels awesome.
Mo' Bounce Well, I think that's what's cool about you to, is that you get to, and now more than ever, because now you're older and you've been around the block a little bit when it comes to the music business and it's like okay. At what point do they say "You know Justin, we want you to do what you want to do" because I know, you know, we all know how it all works.
Justin Bieber: It takes, it takes, um…
Mo' Bounce Proving yourself maybe.
Justin Bieber: Yeah, you definitely gotta prove yourself 'cause though they'll try to walk all over you until you. But if I wouldn't have taken a stand, I would have just ended up just being like all the other popstars. 'Cause I don't think popstars and artists… It's rare to find the artist in a popstar. Usually you're just a popstar.
Mo' Bounce You're right, yep. Now that's well put man.
Justin Bieber: There's very few performers, like Michael Jackson was an artist.
Mo' Bounce Yeah.
Justin Bieber: Like…
Mo' Bounce He became a popstar at his first scenarios.
Justin Bieber: Yeah but he's an artist like he cares so mucH about everything and it's all from his soul. Everything is his vision and that's what an artist is. It's not just being a performer and someone who's good at what they do. There's a lot of people that can sing and dance.
Mo' Bounce: Sure.
Justin Bieber: You know, but it takes a lot to…
Mo' Bounce: I can't do either, so.
Justin Bieber: …create and take it to the next level.
Mo' Bounce: Yeah absolutely, man. There's also a lot of stuff going on with your Twitter because you just recently did a thing and one of my bosses is out in LA, John Ivy. He's one of us.
Justin Bieber: The best.
Mo' Bounce: Yeah.
Justin Bieber: John Ivy.
Mo' Bounce: But that's the thing like…
Justin Bieber: Shout out to John Ivy, baby!
Mo' Bounce: But what's it… [laughs] John Ivy, baby! Don't curse though, no curse, [?].
Justin Bieber: No.
Mo' Bounce: But the thing with that is. Do you, at one point do you realize, I mean obviously you know your power of your Twitter and your social media. But like no one knows who the hell this dude is and we're in the radio business. We all realize like okay, John Ivy, like it's hilarious 'cause we know him.
Justin Bieber: Yeah.
Mo' Bounce: But it's like [laughs]. No, but it was trending for two freaking days worldwide.
Justin Bieber: Yeah like at any point. Do you like go to Central Park when you're in town. I want a McFlurry and you have like 50 McLaurys come, maybe 5,000. Do you know your power?
Justin Bieber: Yeah, sometimes I take advantage of it.
Mo' Bounce: It's almost like being a superhero.
Justin Bieber: But like, yeah.
Mo' Bounce: Yeah, when do you take, when's the last time you took advantage of it? I mean for good or, or for other reasons or whatever.
Justin Bieber: I think slipping in the DM's is a little bit of taking advantage. [drinks water]
Mo' Bounce: [laughs] [?] of water.
Justin Bieber: Ah.
Mo' Bounce: The awkward [?] of water. This is more [?]
Justin Bieber: Ah, slipping to a DM's.
Mo' Bounce: Yeah, yeah so we stay…
Justin Bieber: [laughs]
Mo' Bounce: Yeah I DM you all the time, you don't DM me back so I would like it like a little, you know like throwback a little bit like to be. You know maybe even yell at me. You could yell at me. Whenever you feel like you want to yell at somebody.
Justin Bieber: Honestly, you're one of my least favorite radio personalities to be talking with and stuff. Itt's fine like I gotta do it, they told me I had to come.
Mo' Bounce: Are you kidding me right now?
Justin Bieber: But it is what it is.
Mo' Bounce: You're a joke right now. That's not even nice.
Justin Bieber: I'm just kidding.
Mo' Bounce: Alright.
Justin Bieber: I love you. We love Mo' Bounce, he's the best.
Mo' Bounce: Can we go back in history now that I'm freaking crying inside? Uh, today is my 6th anniversary to Z100. Now, you hope you feel better after saying we just said.
Justin Bieber: I do.
Mo' Bounce: Today is my 6th anniversary to Z100. Today is also the day you performed at my 'Welcome to Z100' Party when you were a wee little dude.
Justin Bieber: I don't remember that.
Mo' Bounce: Um and then also today's the day we shared a cupcake on the couch that was out there and it's also the first week, I like cupcakes. It's also the first week you are number 1…
Justin Bieber: Ever.
Mo' Bounce: …with “What Do You Mean”, ever.
Justin Bieber: Yes.
Mo' Bounce: So this is a big week, man.
Justin Bieber: It is.
Mo' Bounce: It's a big week for everybody.
Justin Bieber: Yeah.
Mo' Bounce: I'm so mad that he said what he said, rewind a little bit and see what he said and then just clip that and just put it out there and just don't even say he's kidding. Just leave that part in there.
Justin Bieber: I wasn't kidding. I hate you.
Mo' Bounce: Okay, here's another thing too. He hates me. Taylor surpassed Kim Kardashian in most followers on Instagram
Justin Bieber: Who?
Mo' Bounce: Uh, Taylor Swift. Do you know her?
Justin Bieber: No.
Mo' Bounce: Taylor Swift.
Justin Bieber: Beat Kim Kardashian?
Mo' Bounce: Just yesterday.
Justin Bieber: Oh God.
Mo' Bounce: She has 45.5 in change Kim K's at 45.5.
Justin Bieber: Jesus, so big dude.
Mo' Bounce: But I'm not worried about them right now. It's about you right now. How do we get you back on them? Like why are you not there?
Justin Bieber: 'Cause I'm a dude and, that Instagram…
Mo' Bounce: You think that's why? But girls like dudes for the most part. Dudes like dudes, everyone likes dudes.
Justin Bieber: No, I'm saying, Instagram is about dudes looking at pretty girls, that's basically Instagram.
Mo' Bounce: So what you're saying is ass injections, is who you're gonna do.
Justin Bieber: I'm just saying that it's… Of course girls like looking at dudes. But it's not the same as how much dudes like looking at chicks.
Mo' Bounce: You're caught slipping too sometimes so. 'Cause that's why you know, most dudes join Instagram. They gonna like "Oh, okay" freezing through your feet a little bit.
Justin Bieber: Um.
Mo' Bounce: Last time, by the way can we get the camera here. Last time you were here. We had to hold the mic too because the stupid mics in the studio…
Justin Bieber: Well.
Mo' Bounce: …keep falling.
Justin Bieber: What it is is that I'm just like fidgety an d so I move it around and I get loose and then, wow, wow that's what she said. Um but yeah.
Mo' Bounce: [laughs] [?] copy it or didn't maybe swing.
Justin Bieber: Well, I'm just kind of delusional 'cause it's early.
Mo' Bounce: It is very. Well you know it's not gonna be the only [?] morning doing Today Show is it, is it Today Show? Yeah, Today Show.
Justin Bieber: Yep, doing the Today Show.
Mo' Bounce: What's your call time for that, like 3:30, 4 o'clock?
Justin Bieber: Early, right? 5, not too bad but 5. I usually just like, I used to play hockey and in the mornings I would have to wake up for that and had the same thing, groggy and…
Mo' Bounce: But now I noticed, especially from your Instagram, [looks at the camera] caught slipping. Uh, is that you you were like, pastime is obviously skateboarding. That's a passion I love of yours but you have to do it like early in the morning.
Justin Bieber: Yeah.
Mo' Bounce: …and that's why I notice, it's always either dusk or dawn 'cause like you can't go out. I mean you're Justin Bieber.
Justin Bieber: Yeah, yeah. Well, I even, when it's crazy I try to just sneak past them and I don't want to let that stuff rule my life, you know.
Mo' Bounce: You can't.
Justin Bieber: You can't
Mo' Bounce: Because at the end of the day, you're ahuman being like everybody else. You wanna do what everybody else wants to do it and then when people start saying "No, you can't" or "No, it has to be at this time." It's "No, I want to do what I want to do"
Justin Bieber: Yeah, you suck.
Mo' Bounec: Yeah, I can't.
Justin Bieber: Mo' Bounce sucks.
Mo' Bounce: So mean. Alright, so let me get to my phone real quick. We have some fan questions. Uh, I did some favoriting. Uh, let's get to Twitter.
Justin Bieber: Hey you guys are listening to the worst radio station ever. I'm just kidding.
Mo' Bounce: You're such an ass. It's not even nice.
Justin Bieber: The worst radio personality alive.
Mo' Bounce: I'mma ask you to leave.
Justin Bieber: Mo' Bounce! Baby right here, you heard it first.
Mo' Bounce: Uh, this is from the fans, Justin. Okay, here's favorites. What was the first thing that crossed your mind when you found out you were number 1 on the Hot 100? First thing. Zoom in on the socks.
Justin Bieber: Let's go get some Cheetos.
Mo' Bounce: Yeah, some Cheetos?
Justin Bieber: Yeah, I just wanted some Cheetos. I wanted to feel that crunch in my mouth.
Mo' Bounce: All right.
Justin Bieber: I just wanted to feel it.
Mo' Bounce: You know when…
Justin Bieber: I just want to let him know "Hey, you guys got me to number one", let me crunch some Cheetos.
Mo Bounce: See when you grab the Cheetos though, like it's a constant like struggle of do I want these Cheetos that bad to where my fingers are look…
Justin Bieber: Would you rather have Cheeto fingers for the rest of your life?
Mo' Bounce: Or?
Justin Bieber: Or would you rather have a popcorn kernel stuck in the back of your throat?
Mo' Bounce: You know, Cheeto fingers.
Justin Bieber: For the rest of your life.
Mo' Bounce: Yeah.
Justin Bieber: Really?
Mo' Bounce: Yeah. 'Cause I can wipe it on everybody else.
Justin Bieber: But it always comes back.
Mo' Bounce: It really does, though.
Justin Bieber: It's like when you're holding hands with a chick. You're always gonna have Cheeto fingers on her and yours and stuff.
Mo' Bounce: [laughs] But you're not gonna die of choking on a corn kernel thing. [laughs] He doesn't know what's going on.
Justin Bieber: I know, but you have ever had one back there?
Mo' Bounce: Yes!
Justin Bieber: It's just mad annoying.
Mo' Bounce: Yeah, it's bad.
