How blessed are we to be able to do stuff like this?

I know, this is so cool.

And they cheer for forever.

I don't even know when to stop.

I'm like, "Yeah."

It's like, "All right, all right, all right.

I like it."

I like it a lot.

It's like they're too kind.

It's like--

I feel bad.

I'm like, "Do I keep it going?

Or do I--" Do you want to do it again?

[CHEERING]

I love you so much.

Oh, I love so much.

So good to see you.

You're doing such a good job at this, by the way.

Thank you.

Oh, I was going to ask you how am I doing?

Incredible job.

Thank you.

Amazing job.

I'm really glad to be here with you and yeah.

You're doing a good job.

[LAUGHTER]

Oh, thank you.

Well you're killing it, too, the new album's amazing.

And then obviously you see me rocking Drew House

all the time.

So you're killing it, as well.

The docuseries is amazing.

Yeah.

But I wanted to ask you before we

start-- do you remember how we first met?

I thought it was at the Kids' Choice Awards,

but I guess it wasn't.

It's not.

It was somewhere else.

Tell me the story.

So I was on tour, I was about 16 I think.

And I think I want to say you were 14.

And you were outside of a radio station.

I was doing an interview that day, and you came up to me,

and you just ran up and was like, "Can I have a picture?"

And I was like, "Yeah, for sure."

Aw.

But it was so sweet.

And you were like, "My name's Justin.

I'm Justin Bieber.

You're going to know my name one day."

Wow.

[CHEERING]

And I was like, "Wow.

OK, cool.

For sure."

And then I definitely did.

Dang.

That's-- you were so little!

So cool.

Oh my God, that's so awesome.

Look at us.

Well, we both had similar stories

being in the industry really young.

And then we both had our struggles.

Do you ever think that there's something else

that you would want to do?

I think for a while I tried to run away from some stuff,

try to run away from the industry,

try to run away from what I felt like God wanted me to do.

But I feel like this is what you and I are both meant to do.

You're meant to entertain and sing, and I think same as me.

And so when we run away from that,

it's almost like we become less happy than we feel like there's

all these responsibilities, and all these things that

become heavy for us.

And I think sometimes we've got to run towards the pain

rather than run away from it.

Totally.

[APPLAUSE]

That was really well-said.

Another thing that we've both done

is we both have had documentaries.

Were there any limits to stuff that you

didn't want to talk about or not want to share?

There's a fear in showing vulnerability,

and there's a fear in showing stuff

that you feel like people will say you look weak

or all these different things.

But I think the more mature you become,

the more you understand that there's power in your weakness.

And when you're able to show that,

it gives other people the confidence

to say, "You know what?

I'm going through similar things myself.

It might not be the exact same thing,

but I'm going through something, too.

And I've been hiding it."

And so just having the confidence

and being able to instill that confidence in young people

that it's OK to have problems.

It's OK to-- you don't have to hide

that, that each and every person in this audience

is going through something unique

and a different challenge.

And I just feel like if we're open and honest about that,

it creates a dialogue we're able to--

you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, of course.

[APPLAUSE]

I know just for me and my experience,

when I struggled last year, I know

I looked at you as an inspiration

because you've been through this and you've

come out of the other side.

And I really just admire the man that you are today.

And yeah.

But anyways, keeping it--

Thank you for saying that.

Of course, of course.

Let's keep it light.

Yeah, on a lighter note--

which I was going to switch it to--

we both love tattoos.

I know that I got a few that I regretted.

Did you ever get one that you regret?

No.

I think they all tell a story.

And at the end of the day, even if it's not your favorite

it's like, "That was a part of me at that time."

I'm going to look back when I'm older

and have all these cartoons on my arm,

and I'm like, "You know, my kids will like it."

Aw.

Yeah.

No, it's great.

I appreciate it.

They look great.

Yeah they all tell a story.

Yeah, absolutely.

Anyways, you're killing it.

I feel like I'm getting comfortable more with Justin

after this.
