== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh. ''{smacks mouth}'' My mouth tastes like... emails.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad-<br />
<br />
Whats up? What is your morning <br />
routine?<br />
<br />
Mike S.<br />
Gibsonia, Pa</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "routine" as "Ha-routine," and says "Pa" as "P-A"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Mike, as you know, the morning routine is the most important routine of the day.

''{Cut to Strong Bad sleeping on the couch, mumbling}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbles}''

''{Strong Sad walks up}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbles}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Wake up!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbles}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I wanna watch that show on public broadcasting hosted by that British guy.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbles}'' <!-- This is *not* "Grumblecakes"... though it does have a similar cadence to "Grumblecakes" it's probably coincidence, especially considering this email came out before "stupid stuff" -->

'''STRONG SAD:''' You told me not to let you sleep past noon!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Super Bomberman...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Wake up!

''{Strong Bad gets up from the couch, and we see that one of his hands is inside a bag of Potate brand potato chips. He starts walking off, slouching. He walks up to the computer and sits down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh. ''{smacks mouth}'' My mouth tastes like... emails.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad-<br />
<br />
Whats up? What is your morning <br />
routine?<br />
<br />
Mike S.<br />
Gibsonia, Pa</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "routine" as "Ha-routine," and says "Pa" as "P-A."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Mike, as you know, the morning routine is the most important routine of the day. The "R" in routine stands for r ''{says "rrrrrrrrrr" then gets interrupted}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hey Strong Bad! ''{Strong Bad turns to see Strong Sad standing there}'' I found this egg in the couch. Is this yours?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, it's very fragile. Put it down.

''{Strong Sad puts down the egg and walks off. Strong Bad resumes typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So anyways, Mike, as I was saying, The "R" in routine stands for ''(types "r", but doesn't say anything)''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Strong Bad, I found what I believe to be a goose egg in the couch.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thank you, Interrupter Jones. That is also my egg. Now put it down.

''{Strong Sad puts it down, and Strong Bad resumes typing again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Sorry about that, Mike. So, the "R"

'''STRONG SAD:''' Here's a duck egg, a nuthatch egg, ostrich egg, maybe a dinosaur egg, one of those brown eggs...

'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you trying to say, Strong Sad? So I got a lotta eggs. And I keep 'em in the couch.

'''STRONG SAD:''' There needs to be a better word for "weird".

''{The Cheat runs onscreen with underwear on his head and Strong Mad in pursuit}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' MY PANTIES!  MY PANTIES!

''{They run off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay. I'm moving out.

''{Strong Sad walks off, Strong Bad resumes typing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Fine with me, Strong Sad. I mean Mike. I mean ''{pause}'' whatever.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

*At the end, click on "COMPY ''386''" to see some of [[Strong Bad's EGGS|Strong Bad's "eggs"]]. The box of Strong Bad's "eggs" has the following phrases on it.

**"nut-hatch" eggs
**"goose" eggs
**"brown" eggs
**"duck" eggs
**A nutritious part of your morning routine!

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*[[Potate]] is introduced in this email.
*The [[Couch Mumbling]] gag begins in this email.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#lode runner|lode runner]]".
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "The 'R' in Strong Bad's morning routine stands for..."

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad manages to type wearing not only [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|boxing gloves]], but also the potato chip bag. He may have typed one handed like he did in [[tape-leg]], though in that email he typed with just his right hand (for a short while). If he wasn't typing with the potate bag, he must have been using his left hand. It is possible Strong Bad is ambidextrous.
*Strong Sad mentions seven eggs, but finds nine.
*Apparently, Strong Bad's [[computer room]] was supposed to be in [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|the basement]] next to [[the couch]]; this concept seems to have been abandoned (see [[Arcade Game]]).
**It is also possible that Strong Bad may have used the basement's second exit to reach the computer room.
*When the singers on the TV stop singing, [[Matt Chapman]] can be heard saying, "I don't remember that part, [[Mike Chapman|Mike]]."

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad sits down at the computer to answer his email, the reflection of his face can be seen outside of the monitor on the right side momentarily.
*As Strong Bad is shown walking to the Compy after waking up, the underscore at the end of "a>_" isn't flashing like it usually would.
*While Strong Sad is placing the eggs on the table next to Strong Bad, the text on the Compy looks different. Some of it is not shown because it is behind Strong Bad's head. (Progressively: when Strong Bad types it, the "a>" is gone, and the word first paragraph is spaced differently; the second "routine" and the word "stands" are on the previous lines, there's no underscore after the lowercase "r", "routine" in the last line is spelled incorrectly, and there's a period and the word "So" after the last "Mike".)

<blockquote class="compy email">
Mike, as you know, the morning<br>
routine is the most important<br>
routine of the day. The "R" in routine<br>
stands for r_<br>
So anyways, Mike, as I was saying,<br>
The "R" in rountine stands for r<br>
Sorry about that, Mike, the "R"</blockquote>

*The [[Wikipedia:ostrich|ostrich]] egg should be much larger in relation to the others, as the ostrich lays the largest eggs of any living bird species. It should also be white.
*On the cereal box in the Easter egg, the "nut-hatch" egg should be written as "[[wikipedia:Nuthatch|nuthatch]]", without the hyphen.
*When Strong Bad is talking to Strong Sad for the last time, the left side of the monitor appears to be slightly jagged.
*In the Easter egg, some of the outlines of the eggs overlap each other.

===Inside References===
*This email makes numerous references to [[eggs]].

===Real-World References===
*''[[Wikipedia:Super Bomberman|Super Bomberman]]'' is a game for the [[Nintendo#Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)|SNES]] from the early '90s.
*The tune playing on the [[Telebision|TV set]] while Strong Bad is waking up is the theme song from ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124265/ Voyage of the Mimi]'', an educational TV show from the 1980s featuring [[Wikipedia:Ben Affleck|Ben Affleck]]. This is probably what Strong Sad wanted to watch.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad's line at the beginning, "[[My mouth tastes like...]] emails," is later reused during the CGI sequence on the first disc of the [[strongbad_email.exe|Strong Bad Email DVD]], but instead, says, "My mouth tastes like... DVDs." He says "My mouth tastes like... backwards" in [[mini-golf]].
*The phrase "the R in routine" is used later in [[Authorless Books|a book title]] in the email [[rampage]].
*Strong Mad chases The Cheat again in a [[rampage#Easter Eggs|rampage Easter egg]].
*Strong Bad sells the eggs for $54 in [[garage sale]]; 54 also happens to be the number of this email.
*The term "Two more eggs" (which is in the ingredients on the Easter egg cereal box) is on a post-it on a fridge later in [[pop-up]]. The term also becomes the name of [[Two More Eggs|a series]] produced by [[The Brothers Chaps]] for [[Disney]] XD and its YouTube channel.
*Strong Bad would discover an additional egg six years later in [[Rotten Eggs]].
*In the DVD commentary for [[cartoon]], Mike asks Strong Bad if he remembers what the "R" in routine stand for, and Strong Bad states that he forgot as soon as Mike mentioned it.

==YouTube Version==
*When it was uploaded, the audio cut out near the end and the rest of the video was silent. This was fixed and re-uploaded later in the day.
