Spring times the perfect time to turn the page and refresh your home style.

The only problem?

It can be expensive.

Luckily, there's a better way to shop well-worthy pieces for less at Bob's discount furniture.

Bob's negotiates with manufacturers to get you the best everyday low prices,

giving the shopping power back to you.

The power to get more style, comfort, and quality for less on amazing pieces.

pop up sleeper sectionals with all the bells and whistles so you can turn any room into a guest room,

and next level Bobo-Pedic mattresses so you can get a great night's rest after you've finished redecorating every room.

So, when you're ready to spring into new style, stop into your nearest store or shop online

and see how you can get well-worthy style for less with Bob's discount furniture.

Talking about how there is a story coming out of Hollywood after the Oscars,

Jay-Z and Beyonce threw a party.

Usher and Justin Bieber attended, and we heard they had words for each other.

There is a battle of the besties.

I mean, Usher was Justin Bieber's mentor, kind of introduced him to the industry.

We didn't hear anything that they had, any kind of beef, but we decided to make it a thing.

Who would you want to be besties with?

Because in life, sometimes your friends start arguing, you have to pick a side.

If you were Usher and Bieber's friend, and you saw them beefing, who side would you pick?

Sienna would throw a bra at Bieber every single time.

I'm like, are you crazy?

Usher, I would pick Usher, but we're having the battle right now.

Yeah, Bieber all day, Bieber fever.

Usher is my guy, so we told you to give us a call.

Then JD, you're stuck in the middle.

I don't know what to do here, because I'm just trying to be fair.

Are you at the end of the day?

I'm trying to be fair.

Let's take some calls, 8-3-3.

7-3-0.

7-7.

We got Kimberly in Piori on the line.

Now, Kimberly, who are you choosing?

If you had to pick a bestie, Biebs or Usher?

I would go with Bieber.

Yay, a girly pop on my side.

It's absolutely wrong.

No, she's not wrong, Joey.

And why is that?

Why are you picking Bieber?

I just feel like he has a longer road ahead of him.

I mean, Usher's already done his thing.

Usher was amazing, but Bieber,

I mean, I feel like if he wanted the opportunity,

it's there for him to just knock it out of the park

and maybe even become bigger than Taylor Swift.

Oh, that's a hot take.

That's a hot take.

Me as a swifty.

I just did a yoga, a swifty yoga this past weekend.

That is horrible to say.

I like what you said, though, if he wanted to,

I just don't think this kid has it in him.

He's had some stuff happen in his life,

and I just see he keeps getting off track.

He's rude.

He's either way too stale, it's crazy, bro.

That one, I am not a fan of.

I am convinced he doesn't really like his wife.

I will say that horrible human being,

but catalog wise and just the era of Bieber,

as well as if he did make a comeback,

he would sell out stadiums so quickly.

I feel like he's still so successful.

Now, Kimberly, here's why I base life in,

whether you're celebrity or just a regular,

regular person, nine to five.

I base my whole life and do I want to have a beer with you?

Like, if I'm just going to go dive bar

or at a nice bar, whatever,

and will I want to have a beer with you

and just chop it up and hang out with you?

I think Babes, I just, more and more, he just rode.

I feel like he's always has an attitude to chip on his shoulder,

he's always mad, he's, I don't see that from Usher.

So based on that on a bestie tip,

I would want to hang out with Usher

if I'm having a beer with Bieber, his cell phone rings,

his wife's like, what the hell do you want?

I feel like he would yell at her,

and I have to tell them something, you know what I mean?

I hear you Joey, but a lot of how Bieber is right now,

just on a personal level, it would be Usher's fault.

Because, quote unquote, he is his mentor.

So I'm factoring that in, I'm factoring the fact

that you called Usher washed Kimberly and that Bieber has.

Kimberly, first of all, that's so delicious.

That's cool.

He said Usher has reached his ceiling,

so I don't want someone who's just in the past, you know?

I want to hang out with someone who can give me a good future.

Jesus, hey, Kimberly.

Yes.

Be kidding me right now, Kimberly.

Okay.

Are you kidding me?

Okay, okay, yes, please, that's what he said.

I guess you can't really.

You know what, fair enough.

Wait, hold on here, I got to play it for her now, at this point.

Okay, I see what you did there.

Yeah.

The only reason why this is probably because there's a Puerto Rican

named Luis Fonsey on this.

No, it's not because of Bieber.

Come and move her in my direction.

He helped help from Daddy Yankees.

Such a blessing, yeah.

Turn every situation into heaven.

Yeah.

Oh, okay, we'll call that one to tie.

Any time you hear that song, it just does it for you.

I don't see Usher collabing with Spanish artists.

He did have some heat as with Chris Brown.

And I heard never mind.

We won't know what I heard, but Usher and Chris Brown.

But all right, well, she's 10 toes down for babes.

You would want to be.

If you had to choose your friendship, you would pick Bebes.

Yeah.

Yes, I'm on the board.

I thought I was alone, to be honest.

To be honest, I did too.

Really?

I didn't think that.

That's crazy.

Come on down.

You guys are hanging out with your bestie, Usher.

I don't know.

You're walking into a club.

This beat comes and you get to walk on stage with him.

I'm doing this.

Come on, man, what are we doing?

Uh, wait, what's that?

Okay, Leslie.

All right.

Oh, my.

Or do you want to hang out with a 10-year-old?

I mean, what a Chris is on both songs.

Oh, gosh, I hate kids too.

What hang out this year?

The 10-year-old?

Wiping, wiping his snott.

This is my nostalgia right here.

Come here.

He's going to do it.

Joey.

Okay, hold on.

That one's a tie as well.

Yeah, and baby, it's pretty much a tie as well.

I will say to play even Luda made both of those songs.

Yeah, I did.

He really, really did.

Oh, my.

Oh, God.

This stuff.

Well, you know, your team beefed.

Any Usher fans?

A33.

73.

63.

77.

Here's what the scary part is.

JD has been flip-flopping back and forth.

So up next, JD is going to make the decision.

Who's the better bestie?

Who wins the battle of the besties?

Usher or the Beeps?

Judge John.

He's approaching the stand.

May you all rise or whatever they don't really say.

Leslie, did I sway your vote to Usher at all?

Are you still Beeps?

Oh, still Beed.

Yes, I love you, Kimberly.

Okay.

Well, whatever.

You've changed.

I remember when you were cool.

All right, Kimberly.

How the data do you deserve?

Thanks, guys.
