N the Birch Show. Hey, Justin Bieber.
Justin Bieber
Yo, what's happening?
Host (possibly Bert from The Bert Show)
What's going on dude?
Justin Bieber
What are you guys up to?
Host (possibly Bert from The Bert Show)
Well, you've created quite a problem for us this week. Quite a problem for us this week. I mean, as soon as we get in here in the morning, all these 12, 13, 14 year old girls are calling us from 5:30 until 10 in the morning. Then their parents are begging us for tickets and email calling us all morning long. You've turned into quite a pain in the butt.
Justin Bieber
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Host (possibly Bert from The Bert Show)
Dude, people went in on this thing so badly. Seriously.
Justin Bieber
I guess, I mean, Friday. I'm really excited for Friday. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
Host (possibly Bert from The Bert Show)
Yeah, thanks for doing this for us.
Co-host or Interviewer 1
What's life different like for you since you came in and did the bird show like what, three months ago, four months ago?
Host (possibly Bert from The Bert Show)
Cause in your life you were gonna probably define your life before Birch show and after Bert show.
Co-host or Interviewer 1
Trust me, I will.
Justin Bieber
I mean before the Birch show I was kind of like still coming up. I mean I'm still coming up now, but I think that, I don't know. I don't know. I have more followers and it's been kind of harder to walk Around.
Co-host or Interviewer 1
Can you go to the mall? If you wanted to go to the mall? Is it even an option?
Justin Bieber
I mean, I can go to. I can go to the mall when the kids are at school.
Co-host or Interviewer 2 (Jen)
Do you have to wear any disguises or anything?
Justin Bieber
No, not really.
Co-host or Interviewer 2 (Jen)
You've never done a disguise yet?
Host (possibly Bert from The Bert Show)
Not yet. Is it getting to the point now where there are so many people sort of like just, you know, that are stopping you while you're out, where from time to time it gets a little bit annoying? Are you still cool with it?
Justin Bieber
I mean, I'm still cool with it. I'm. I always think of it like, I wouldn't be in this position without my fans.
Host (possibly Bert from The Bert Show)
So I don't know with any other artists I've ever seen anything like this before. I mean, there was no Justin Bieber. There were some videos, and then there was some word about this kid Justin Bieber, and then all of a sudden, just this explosion, you know, I don't know that I've ever seen a rise so quickly,
Justin Bieber
I think. I don't know. I've just been blessed. It's been a great opportunity. And coming from, like, a little town in Canada and then now being able to, like, I don't know, share my music with the world, it's just been crazy.
Co-host or Interviewer 2 (Jen)
And, Justin, your fans are faithful followers of you on Twitter, and I've been reading emails from listeners who are begging to get into the event tomorrow, and they were saying that the cool thing for people is to have you follow them on Twitter. Is that something that you do all the time? Like, you follow your fans?
Justin Bieber
Yeah, I haven't. I. When I see fans write some nice stuff, I always try to try to follow as many people as I can.
Co-host or Interviewer 2 (Jen)
And, yeah, because they were saying like that that is, like, the highlight for a teenager. If Justin Bieber says that he'll follow them. That's like the new cool autograph.
Host (possibly Bert from The Bert Show)
How many followers do you have on Twitter now?
Justin Bieber
I think 400,000.
Co-host or Interviewer 1

Co-host or Interviewer 2 (Jen)

Justin Bieber
Yeah, I mean, right after this, like, I'm on my way. I'm about to Go to the airport. We're flying in the Lockheed, doing a show there. And then I'm flying back to Atlanta to do the Mad Mad World show.
Host (possibly Bert from The Bert Show)

Justin Bieber

Co-host or Interviewer 1
How's your mom holding up with the travel? Because it's obviously a lot and you know, you're young, you're loving it, you're eating it up. But she's. She. She may just want to be home watching her Young and the Restless.
Justin Bieber
She gets exhausted, but she's definitely very supportive and she. She definitely doesn't want to leave my side.
