[brief ringing sound, then a phone picking up]

OSZ: [brief sound of a phone being fumbled then dropped; faintly] Ah, what the fuck…

Drunk Uncle Roy: ZERO! ARE YA THERE MY BOY?

OSZ: What does that even m—

DUR: IT MEANS CHIP IS A GENSIUS! He wend out there and sent Mark Ancho to deliver a MESSAGE, and he delivered it to Jordan Matthew Ryan to show just how much BOSS we are this year!

OSZ: Wait, who?

DUR: The guy, Matthew Jordan.

OSZ: Who?

DUR: Uh, Ryan Jordan.

OSZ: Do you mean Ryan Matthews? Or Jordan Matthews?

DUR: MATT RYAN!

OSZ: That doesn’t even—

DUR: AAAAHHHHH HA HA HA! Got you! Just kidding! YOU THOUGHT WE GOT MATTY ICE!

OSZ: I didn’t—

DUR: [indeterminate sound again: maybe a generator of some sort?] Yer so gullible, Zero. Heck, you’d believe it if I told you I was gonna vote for Hurlary.

OSZ: I don’t—

DUR: I’M A TRUMP GUY! Or Ron Paul. [the noise is louder again, then fades away]

OSZ: Where are you, anyway?

DUR: Lissen, it’s no big deal. YOU KNOW WHAT IS A BIG DEAL?

OSZ: Don’t you dare say Teb—

I gotta tell ya, Chip’s gonna quarterback the committee all season, and just CRUSH evuhrybody. YOU WAIT! He’s gonna trot out a three qb formation that’s gonna blow yer mind! YOU’LL NEVER KNOW WHO’S GONNA GET THE BALL! Could it be Bradford to zip a shot right to where we need it? Or Sanchay who’s gonna slick willy his way into the secondary?

OSZ: I just don—

DUR: I’ll tell you the secret. It’s because he’s from FLORIDA!

OSZ: Oh, no.

DUR: Yeah, that’s right! You ever hear of something terrible happening in Florida?

OSZ: Well, y—

DUR: OF COURSE YOU HAVEN’T! All of the greatest people I know come from Florida. There’s Party Pete, Scrummy Pete, Big Pete, Carny Pete, Professor Pete, One-Tooth Pete, Hobo Pete, Pete Pete, Re Pete, and Clem.

OSZ: Aren’t they all in jail or rehab?

DUR: EVERYBODY’S GOTTA PAY THEIR DUES! Listen, my time with the Dr. Oxy Motorcycle Club has been the best time of my life. [background noise again—bees?]

OSZ: Motorcycle club? You don’t have a motorcycle, Roy.

DUR: I don see what difference that makes.

OSZ: So you don’t ride with them?

DUR: OF COURSE I DO!

OSZ: How?

DUR: I ride bottom balloon. [noise grows louder]

OSZ: What? Is that like riding bitch?

DUR: Sort of. It’s part of their Florida runs. Listen, it’s complicated, I don’t expect you to unnerstand, just like you can’t seem to understand the greatsness of Tebow.

OSZ: What is that noise? Where the hell are you, Roy?

DUR: Arright, arright… Carny Pete hooked me up with a private cab in the ferris wheel at the fair, said I could stay here tonight as long as I cleared out by noon. Figgered isssafer than trying to drive home.

OSZ: You don’t have a car. Or a license. It got rev—

DUR: Shhh shh shh shh shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

OSZ: Wait, did Aunt Margaret kick you out again?

DUR: [humming in the background—a ferris wheel! Yeesh.]

OSZ: What did you do?

DUR: She doesn’t care for my friends. Says they’re dangerous with their motorcycles, and their sawed off shotguns, and their needles and stuff.

OSZ: [sigh]

DUR: Listen, can we get back to the Eagles? I mean, come on, man! [beginning to cry] It’s all I have left, and—

OSZ: No. Just don’t.

DUR: [emotional] You’re the only one I can talk to, Zero! You leave me alone tonight and I don’t know what I’ll do.

OSZ: [sigh] I’m not playing this game again.

DUR: If you really care about—

OSZ: Tebow got sacked.

DUR: [suddenly angry] What did you s—

OSZ: Yeah, three times. For big losses.

DUR: You little sh—

OSZ: IT’S THREE IN THE GODDAMN MORNING, YOU’RE SLEEPING IN A FERRIS WHEEL, IT WAS JUST A PRESEASON GAME, AND TEBOW IS A FUCKING BUST!

DUR: Why you fucking runt, YOUR BROTHER WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN YOU!

OSZ: STOP CALLING ME!

[Call ends]
