How to accept a job offer on the phone?

What should I say in response to a job offer while I am on the phone to minimize awkwardness? I know I should begin by thanking them for updating me about the offer. But what should I say after that?

...what?

If someone offers you a job on the phone, and you intend to accept on the spot, just be genuine with them. Tell them you're excited and grateful and ready to get to work - or whatever else you feel. Be a normal human being.

JFC I mean if you dont know how to accept an offer, you shouldn't deserve one in the first place.

This is common human behavior. Not rocket science
