Zip: Welcome to another edition of Sports Chat! I'm Zip Zippler!
Calamity: And I'm Calamity Dinkens! You ready to chat up some sports, Zip?
Zip: Is the pope a bear, Cal?
Calamity: What?
Zip: God, I miss my wife.
Calamity: Um. So ... it is autumn, the temperatures are dropping and you can smell all kinds of sports- related excitement in the air!
Zip: Smells like balls to me!
Calamity: Huh?
Zip: Smells like basketballs. 'Cause Mavericks preseason play is right around the corner, Cal!
Calamity: That it is, Zip!
Zip: Time to get loudy, round and pounded!
Calamity: What?
Zip: "Loudy, round and pounded," Cal! You know, the Mavs fan thing. It's like a credo or a chant or something. It's in that song.
Calamity: No, Zip. You mean, "rowdy, loud and proud."
Zip: That is preposterous!
Calamity: No, it's the actual –
Zip: You get loudy, like you make a lot of noise.
Calamity: That's "loud," not "loudy." Loudy's not even a word.
Zip: Whatever, Cal. The second thing is "round." Like, you get all fat and round by eating a lot of hot dogs or nachos while you watch the game.
Calamity: You can't possibly be –
Zip: And "pounded" can actually mean two things. Like, you "pound" back a bunch of beer and get
wasted –
Calamity: Let's change gears
here, Zip.
Zip: – or you have angry sex with someone.
Calamity: What!?
Zip: It's what they call a double intended, Cal. Look it up, dummy.
Calamity: No, you mean "double entendre." And it would only be a double entendre if "loudy, round and pounded" was the actual Mavs fan phrase, which it is not.
Zip: You say "potato," I say "tomato."
Calamity: Get it together, Zip.
Zip: I miss my daughter. I miss her terribly.
Calamity: That's all the Sports Chat for now! Till next time, I'm Calamity Dinkens.
Zip: And I'm Zip Zippler! Sports!
