The Lincoln Continentals founded in 1946, the Lincoln chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society.

They host a variety of performances each year, including their annual spring and Christmas shows, Singing Valentine's sporting events, and church events. Now they will be giving away a singing Valentine for Valentine. Day. How about that? Two songs in a box of chocolates. We will come up with a way you're going to have to tell us how you and your Valentine meant.

The best story gets the singing Valentine in a box of chocolate. Am I up for this? Are you up for this? Yeah, your story has to be pretty good though, Rico. I think it's pretty good. Your story has to be pretty good. Did you get winners, sir? I did.

Okay. So it is Strayal from Hallam. The NFC. Okay. Scored 62 points in the 2013 Pro Bowl. Wow. And Jesse, Andy Reid, has coached six Pro Bowls. Oh, that's right.

That is right. People forget he was in the NFC. Mm-hmm. Yeah, getting close. Eagles, almost there, but never there. Well, they got there once. Yeah. And then.

But never there. Then Donovan threw up. Yeah. It wasn't. Adameterre. Yeah. Tom Brady. No big deal.

It's fine. No deal with that. It is a business. It's called brightness. Yeah. Jeez. Did you watch the tuck rule? I did not.

I did not. See, then how can you say that you're a Patriots fan? I don't need to watch Tucker Roll. I don't know what happened. Have you watched the Tom Brady specials man in the arena? I have not. Then you're not. Then you just, I'm removing you from that.

I am a Patriots fan. I haven't watched him yet. I appreciate you saying that you're a fan, but if you're not watching that, I don't understand. I haven't watched yet. I'll watch them later. I have ESPN Plus. I can watch any 30 for 30 I want. I don't even know what you're doing.

I can go back and watch them right now if I wanted to. What was more important than that? Last night, me and Rachel started Don't Look Up on Netflix. Did you finish it? No, she fell asleep. Of course she did. So I had to stop because I could. It's like two hours and 13 minutes.

Of course you. We got halfway. And she passed, it was like an hour and a half in. And I was just like, oh, this is, this is kind of interesting. And then I look over and she's asleep. And I was like, I have to stop it now. I watch. Because you can't finish the movie if your significant other falls asleep.

It's just not good. You can't. It's not good juju. Because then you'll have to pretend that you didn't. You can't. And then when you go to watch it back with them, because like, oh, I fell asleep. You go to watch it back with them. And then you're like, oh, wait, look at this.

Because you can't, you can't stop yourself. What are the rules on this, Mark? If you start something, you start watching a show with your wife and she falls asleep. Do you continue to watch? You're asking the wrong half of this partnership here. So what's her rule? Well, my thought is, just watch it. Right.

I know what I'm doing. It's up to me to get caught up. If I need to get caught up on the show or to finish the movie on my own, just watch it. But the awake person always gets so mad. And we'll never just accept that, like, I can watch it without you. I didn't get mad. I don't get mad. You seem frustrated. You seem frustrated.

Listening on the speakers, you seemed frustrated. I'm not frustrated because I probably would have fallen to sleep also. It was a very long movie. Well, you didn't. But I didn't. No, because then I've done it a couple of times where I watched the whole thing because she tells me, oh, just watch it. Just watch it.

And I watch it. And then we go back to watch it. She's like, oh, we never finished this. And I'm like, well, I did. She goes, well, why did you watch it? I'm like, put you. Because it was on. Oh, okay.

We agree. We were going to watch. Why didn't you? Why did you not watch it? And then we go through this thing where like if she gets up to go to the bathroom, I'll pause. She goes, why'd you pause you didn't have to? And I go, no, you would have been mad because you'd be like, okay, what happened?

So that is the rule, right? Somebody leaves of the two, you pause. Because I ask her to pause. If somebody gets up to leave? Yeah, I think that's fair. Yeah, that's fair. Or somebody falls asleep. Right.

It's necessary. Mark, I know the answer, but I'm going to ask it anyway. Have you, by chance, watch the Fat Tuesday comedy documentary? What do you think the answer? Yeah, I knew what the answer was it. The answer is no. Obviously, yes. So I'm going to send this to you.

Okay. Because I think you'd rather enjoy it. What is it? So there's a comedy. It's urban comedy. It's the history of it and how it became, how, you know, deaf comedy jam became about. It all started from a, not only just an idea of being able to have comics all over the place. but a place in L.A. where they held a weekly Tuesday night, like of all nights Tuesday.

Sure, sure. Having a black comedy event. And it tracks all of the comedians you can imagine, like all of them from their greatest beginnings through this little project. Yeah, yeah. And it's pretty amazing. I mean, it's pretty amazing to watch. So if you get a chance. What's it on?

I want to say it's on Amazon. Okay. Amazon. I have access to that. It was on prime. So good. It's so good. Like I went into it just to pass some time.

And then four hours later, I was like, okay, I'm all in. Yeah. I'm interested. Like I'm all in. Send it to me. Yeah. So I might watch it. You might fall asleep.

I don't think you'll fall asleep in this one now. No, it might take me four days, but I'll watch it. Well, I mean, it goes back. It takes, you know, Dave Shipp to like, like 19 year old Dave Chappelle. Yeah. 18 year old Dave Chappelle. Footage of all this? Yeah.

Yeah. I did not know that Dave Chappelle and Martin Lawrence were on Ed McMahon's Star Search. Oh, really? Like, I had no recollection to it, which is kind of bizarre. But it flashes those clips. The Torrey Brothers, it goes through, you know, all the journey. Yeah, there's some pretty cool stuff in it. So if you get a chance, you're looking to do that.

I'll make some time. Who are our guest today? Oh, our guests are, they're warming up next door. We've been serenading the office for us, which I appreciate. These are the Lincoln Continentals, or at least representatives from the Lincoln Continentals. The whole group is a big chorus. This is a barbershop quartet, so are we ready to bring them in? I'm ready.

I think they're ready. Okay. I'll go back on the door. He's got the little whistle thing. I love those. I've never actually seen one of those. Yeah. Look at that.

Beautiful. I thought they were ready, but now they're singing again. It's just beautiful. It's just like, this is what I always wonder, right? I always wanted to be a part of a barbershop. Yeah, but if you're in a quartet, we can make that happen. No, we can't. Look, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I think.

Roshan will jump in, Roshan will jump in, so. If Rishon got here early enough, he would jump in, because he's a champion. And that's a champion. I'd be a little surprised if Jake didn't jump in. He's here. And he got excited. His eyes little. Sores, it's not going to do it, because he's a little, he's a little wussy.

Yeah, he's a little man. He's a little wissy. He wouldn't jump in with the quartet. Jake, Jake, would you, would you jump into the ticket quartet? Yes. Jake's not a quartet. Okay, so there's three of you. I did barbershop in high school.

There's three of you now, right? Oh, look. Now we got gang rattles. It looks like a gang battle. It looks like a gang battle. No, it's like, wait a minute. Like, they are looking at like, oh, there's a group of four. You have to do it too.

All that comes up is anchor man in the parking lot. Like, that's right. No touching of the face or hair. Well, of course. That's what it looked like. Of course, we're not animals. It really did. It looked like we were going to have like the battle of the quartets, but we're smart enough to know a beat down when we see it.

So we will concede. I'm down with this. Early on. They were going to take you on. All right. Who's going to be the lead voice in this thing? Step up. Step up.

All right. All right. So introduce yourself. Yes, this is wonderful. Introduce yourself. and your quartet. Okay, my name's Ron Mays. I'm the program vice president

for the Lincoln Continentals, and we are doing, finally, for the first time in the three years, trying to do singing Valentine's. Of course, we've got to go out in most cases and do this mask, but we know what it is, what it is. But we haven't had a revenue stream for a while, so

we could use all the help we can get hint, hint to you guys. Okay, okay. And I'm in this group, I'm singing what's called the baritone part, which is basically the stuff that these guys don't want. Filling the gap. When it comes to the barbershop style, that's what it amounts to. And who's with you?

Okay, and with me singing bass is Tom Treadway. And next to him singing the lead part, which is the melody line for those people that don't know how it works. Is he the diva of the quartet? Is that appropriate? I have a lot of words for him. His name's Tim Olson. and on the far end over there singing the high part, the tenor, typically always above the lead, is Bob Lundberg.

So the real talent of the group? Yes, absolutely the real talent. I just want to put it. Now, I can't promise you that Mark and Jake won't try to join in. Well, you know, whatever. We tried to keep Mark. He came a couple times, but we couldn't lassoom him long enough, I guess. Well, our contribution to you might be Mark Conwiler.

Just send him over. We'll take him. Send him over. Yeah, like just, you know, let's have it. So we are going to give away singing Valentine, two songs in a box of chocolate. I've asked our listeners to go on our text line. And I think the way to give that away would be they would tell us how they met their Valentine and whoever has the best story.

DP, you come up with some great stuff. listen to you every day. Thank you, you, you dream up things that most people wouldn't think of. You just,

you just add it to the donation. That was perfect. That was special. We couldn't have written that up better. So what, what will you do for us today? Well,

if you want us to sing a song, we will. I would have to have it. Yeah. Well, you did all that warming up. I hate to have you stretching and not get to play.

Yeah. Well, we hate to, too. Because, you know, we're not that young and we have things. That's the coach of me. Like, I'm not going to ask you to warm up if I'm not going to play you. So let's get you. Let's get you close to the microphones. And let's let the folks hear you.

Okay. Well, we're going to do us. This is a typical Valentine's song. So a love song. Okay. That you want this one now? I think you're good, that. Okay.

That we would sing to. Rico, Rico, can you record this, please? On your phone. Thank you. This is Enrique, okay? Yeah, this is the master. All right. Heart of my life would be not and sad.

Several folks just wipe the tear and how do you guys not fall in love with each other every time you sing that? Because you look, it's like how do you get to that place and not just stare at each other and go, you know, You're looking exceptionally well today. How does that happen? Tim thinks out of me all the... All the... I could see that. I could see that.

I could see that, like, pass the connection. I just... That's incredible. Okay, so how big is the group normally? Aside it from the quartet. Our chorus is about 40 guys, but since the pandemic hit, on a weekly basis,

probably around 24. And then normally, in a normal year, how many performances would there be? Oh, we would do three, usually a spring or fall show. Okay. That's featured, we try to bring in an international level quartet to be a feature performer. And then we have a Christmas concert that we do every year. And then we do singing Valentine's. I would ask this, let the folks know how they can find out about you if they want to book you,

if they want to be involved. How will they get in contact? Well, since we're in the digital era, the best way is just go to our website, Lincolncontinentals.com all lower, excuse me, Lincolncontinentals.org, all lowercase. And then right on there, there's a link that takes them right to our Eventbrite is our web site word that we're using for booking the ticket to go on to do this. the singing Valentine's.

If, and again, we're going to give away one. We've started to get some of those coming in. Folks are letting us know how they met their Valentine's. And I think that's a great gift. That would be a wonderful thing? If I ask you to sing another song, would you be able to do it? Yeah. Yeah, we absolutely would.

This one is one that I would suggest, you know, if we have some folks that just want to do an office cheer-up, for their hardworking folks in the office. We like to do some of those. So this is the type of song that can be one of either way. You know what? That sparks the idea. And again, I'm all about making people smile.

And we do this with Beatrice Bakery, who sponsors this segment. And I think that may be a thing that we need to do here tomorrow. I will give away if we can find a day that you can. guys know you can do it we will find somebody whether it's a teacher school first responder uh nurse doctor whatever it is and the mission is to make people smile the people in this community uh one husker at a time one act at a time and if you guys are up for it well the dilemma for me dp would be gathering four guys to do that we don't normally sing in a quartet together so i will let's see three of us are singing in three different

quartets and Tim has sung with each of us a little bit off and on through the years. So if I gave you one date and time, would you be able to put together a quartet? I'll do my best. I could probably probably put together. I want to keep your name out there. I think it's a great way to do it. If you guys walked into, you've made my day, this is amazing. So you've made my day and you've made me smile. And what I should do with that is to make somebody else smile. And I think if you guys went into somebody's office or school or otherwise in saying it would do the same thing. Yeah. On Valentine's Day.

Yeah. Yeah. So if you want to make that happen on Valentine's Day, we would certainly. That would be perfect. That would be wonderful. Make it work. You bet. Song number two, give it to us.

Okay. I'll give you a little background. This song was written by Gene Pitney, who was a great performer in his own right. but he didn't record the song. The song was originally recorded by a young man on a TV show, black and white in those days, back in the early 1960, a young man and his folks in the show was called

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. So this song is, Hello, Mary Lou. Pass me by one summer day, flash those big brown eyes my way, and oh, I wanted you forevermore. I'm not one that gets around. I swear my feet stuck to the ground and no I never did meet you before.

I said hello Mary Lou. Good-bye, heart. Good, sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you. I'm in love with Mary Lou. I knew Mary Lou. We'd never part. We'd never part. So hello, Mary Lou, goodbye,

Goodbye, God. Saw your lips are heard their boys. Leave me, I just had no choice while horses could make me stay away. Dumbs around, do, du, du, du, du, da, du, ha, to stay. Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you. I'm in love with Mary Lou. We'd never part. We'd never part.

So, hello, Mary Lou. Goodbye, heart, goodbye. I'm in love with you, yes. Hello, Mary Lou. Goodbye, hi. There's so much joy in that. There is so much joy in that. Can I say thank you again?

Well, this has been, this is fantastic. I can make your promise. I will have you guys back. I will have you guys back because this adds so much joy to the day. Now, if you do that, D.P., you'll have to ask for us by the quartet name. Okay. Which we didn't have until just now. I put it together.

It's called the Whatever for. Whatever for? I love it. I love it. Gentlemen, thank you for adding to our day. This is what this is all about. A big thanks to Mark. Oh, my goodness gracious.

Yeah, Mark sent me the text. I'm like, yeah, absolutely. The Lincoln Continentals, you can find them online, Lincolncontinentals.org. And we are going to give away singing Valentine, and then we're going to make somebody else's day on that very same day to make sure that we put smiles with the faces of folks here in Lincoln. If they go on Eventbrite for this particular one, DP,

have them enter KNTK as their code for, you know, the giveaway. Okay. Wonderful enough. Gentlemen, thank you. Yeah, spectacular. It's been our pleasure. Absolutely spectacular. We'll throw it a break more one-on-one on the ticket when we come back.
