OBADIA I know. {Nicky laughs} Is this HomestarRunner.com?
STRONG BAD: This is Strong Bad, man.
OBADIA STRONG BAD!

OBADIA This is Obadia! Remember me?
STRONG BAD: Oh, YOU again!
NICKY: Remember the guy on the prairie?
STRONG BAD: Look...d...don't you have anything better to do than call people at the crack of dawn, man?
NICKY: Well, now, Strong Bad, it's really important that he called today, 'cause this is Obadia's one year anniversary on the show, so it's a big day for him.
STRONG BAD: Well, look, I'm real happy for the guy {Nicky laughs} but, you know, not everybody's been up in the barn since 5 in the morning like Obadia over there. {Obadia cracks up} I got-- look, man, I was out 'till like 5 AM last night.
OBADIA: Well, I didn't see you in the barn. {Nicky laughs again} Now, Strong Bad, let me ask you a question, seriously. If you were out 'till like 5 AM last night, who were you out with?
STRONG BAD: Um, you know... um... probably one of my many girlfriends...
OBADIA: Right, so you've got a few-- a few of the la-- are these the-- these wouldn't be the girls from, like, Teen Girl Squad, are they?
STRONG BAD: No, man. Those girls-- I would never hang out with those girls.
OBADIA: You-- you're not too in to that.
STRONG BAD: No thanks.
OBADIA: No. What-- now, see, I've heard that you were trying to get together with Marzipan, but I don't buy it, 'cause I don't think she likes you.
STRONG BAD: Where'd you hear that?
NICKY: You know, it was just one of the many rumours.
OBADIA: {almost simultaneously} I just, well--
STRONG BAD: Quit makin' that up.
NICKY: That was, uh--
OBADIA: I'm not ma-- you mean making up that you're trying to get with her, or making up that, uh, she's--
STRONG BAD: I'm makin' up that you think I'm trying to get with her, man. Look-- I mean, you know, everybody's always like, "Oh, you always make fun of Marzipan, that means you love her, man!" And it's just like, look-- you know, that guy in school in third grade that made fun of you all the time? Yeah, he didn't really have a crush on you, he just made fun of you. {Obadia and Nicky laugh} He said you were ugly, he thought you were ugly, man! You know, there was no, like, hidden agenda there.
NICKY: He was just pure mean.
STRONG BAD: He wasn't trying to, you know, use reverse psycology.
NICKY: All right.
OBADIA: Well, Strong Bad, see, I'll tell you what, I've been sending you emails, 'cause, like, I read your email, like, every week, and I keep sendin' em, and you never answer me back, and I wanna know what's up with that.
STRONG BAD: Hey, hey, get in line, buddy. Okay? Because I got, like, I tell you, I got like 15,000 unread emails in my Inbox right now, you know? And to tell you the truth, I think I have the ones, tha-- it says "The Amish Guy From The Radio." It filters that right into my trashbox, so...
NICKY: That's-that's smart, that's smart.
STRONG BAD: Sorry, man.
OBADIA: Strong Bad, if you're just gonna abuse me, listen, I just want to talk to Homestar.
STRONG BAD: Abuse you? You-- look, you called me, like 2 o'clock in the morning!
OBADIA: It's not-- listen, I thought you were up all late, having a good time, huh? You know?
STRONG BAD: I-- I-- uh, I mean, I was.
OBADIA: Right, that's what I thought, so, I mean, you're probably already awake and stuff?
STRONG BAD: {nervously} Uh-- well-- nm-- mayb-- mm-- I dunno...
OBADIA: You don't--?
STRONG BAD: Next question.
OBADIA: Yeah, next one.
NICKY: Next question. Moving on.
OBADIA: I wanna-- I wanna talk to Homestar. Is he there?
STRONG BAD: What do you mean, is he there? I don't live with Homestar!
OBADIA: Yeah, whatever! You guys are all bunked up together! I know you are! He lives right outside of Strong Badia! Which i-- right next to the Tire.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {in the distance} Hey, Strong Bad! I brought you some breakfast!
STRONG BAD: What are you doing here? Oh, great, he's here.
OBADIA: Well, I want to talk to him!
NICKY: {simultaneously} Can we talk? Yeah... I love Homestar Runner.
OBADIA: He's so cool.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hello?
OBADIA: Homestar!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hi!
OBADIA: How are you doing?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I'm doing well!
OBADIA: Hey, it's Obadia, from on the prarie.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I don't know who you are!
NICKY: {laughs} It's been a while since you talked to him last.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I don't know if I've ever talked to you, man.
OBADIA: I-- w-- I'm a big fan of your show.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Thanks! You sound like a nice man.
OBADIA: I'm very nice. In fact, um, I was wondering if, maybe, well... could you tell us why you and Strong Bad don't get along?
