Shock Jock Itch

You’re a loser who can’t sleep, so what do you do? Listen to the nighttime shock jock on your local AM station. You listen just long enough to get pissed off, because this asshole gets paid to say stupid things in between pappy pop songs, and you know it. You’re waiting. And once you’re good and mad, you dial his number, and you go on air and let him insult you, just like he did the guy before you and the guy before that.
