Transcript

STRONG BAD: I got mi My friends are radio hosts. Any chance you could give them any pointers on what t </pre>

STRONG BAD: {typing} Oh, no need to bow, Fraser. Get up. {reverently} Rise, my son. And giveth me instead $7.50 with which to buy some buffalo chicken tenders. {clears the screen} So, your "friends" are radio show hosts, huh?

{The Paper comes down.}
