This is gonna be a big night, and I tell you, Gail, if you can just shut your eyes. I'm doing it. Shut your eyes and get rid of all the a-ca-politics, then you can remember that being at Lincoln Center, in the Big Apple, and singing on this storied stage is the dream of every a cappella singer. You said it, John.

The Trebles closing it strong like always. Absolutely tight. It's gonna be very hard to beat that tonight. Every other group has their work cut out for them, John. I'm glad it's not us anymore, Gail. Those days are over, thank goodness. Especially since they wouldn't have us back. All right. How about that? The Barden University Treblemakers. I love you, awesome nerds.
