Welcome back, a cappella enthusiasts. My name is John Smith, and sitting here to my left is Gail Abernathy-McCadden-Feinberger. Oh, this one's gonna stick, John. Well, you saved the Jew for last. I did. I did. You're listening to Let's Talk-Appella, the world's premiere downloadable a cappella podcast. We are coming to you live from the nation's capital, where the Barden University Bellas are about to rock the historic Kennedy Center. Boy, these girls have broken down every single barrier in their path, haven't they, Gail? Absolutely, John. The first all-female group to win a national title, three-time defending champs, and now, here they are, performing for the President of the United States on his birthday. Wow! What an inspiration to girls all over the country who are too ugly to be cheerleaders.

No! Okay, she has no underwear on. Oh, my God. We have a commando situation. There is a commando situation on stage! Who is on top of this? - What kind of person... - Holy cow! Take her back up. She's turning. Pull her up already! She's turning. Brace yourselves. No. She's coming. She's coming! Avert your eyes, or take it all in! Make your choice! Not the front! Nobody wants to see the front! Oh, no!

Happy birthday, Mr. President. The Australian singer who calls herself "Fat Amy" gave the President a birthday gift from down under during last night's celebration held at the historic Kennedy Center. In case you're wondering what I mean by "down under," Chip, I'm talking about her. She showed her to the President.

All eyes were on the a cappella singers, the Barden Bellas. ...three-time defending a cappella national champions, which is a real thing, apparently. Although authorities have ruled out terrorism as a motive, the Bellas claim the mishap was merely an accident and issued an apology. I am deeply sorry for the upset that I have caused. I feel that I have already received punishment enough in the form of silk burn. Exhibit C. No, no, no! It's filth. Women who sing are just another example of cultural decay, due to loose morals. Not wearing underwear seems kind of intentional to me. Mmm. Yeah, you either choose to wear underwear, or you don't wear underwear. It's a choice I make every day. You know, until today, I thought singing a cappella was the most embarrassing thing you could do.

Chloe, chill out. It was a mistake. They're not gonna burn us for witchcraft. No, but the National A Cappella Association is in there talking to the dean about us, and who knows what's gonna happen? We won three championships. Whatever happens in there, we're gonna be fine. Maybe it's time to think about other stuff.
Pitch Perfect 2
Mmm-hmm. Unfortunately, an example must be made. It is the decision of this governing body that the Bellas are hereby suspended from competing at the collegiate level. What? The terms of your suspension are laid out in this document. I'm sorry, but it's over. Hi. Okay, can we be reasonable? Fat Amy apologized. This was an accident. Was it? You're taking us off of our victory tour?

Who's gonna sing the national anthem at the Puppy Bowl? You're being replaced by the European champions. A German group of total professionals. In other words, they're gonna keep their pants on. So we can't defend our title and we can't tour? And you can't hold any auditions. We don't need your ranks to grow like a fungus. Oh, so that's it, then? So, basically, the Bellas are over? Look, ladies, I'm sorry that this disciplinary action has shocked you. Especially since you're all seniors. But the truth is, you're just women. No. And you'll all be pregnant soon. Mmm.
