Joe Buck isn’t the only play-by-play announcer who’s using this time of social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic to keep his skills sharp — he asked for Twitter followers for videos and then called his wife and son interacting — with the sports world suspended.
There are other famous voices using this time to stay busy by calling random stuff. Josh Lewin, who calls UCLA games, is doing #PlayByPlayofAnythingAtAll, a collection of calls of mundane everyday activities that he’s collecting on Twitter and YouTube.
Here are a few from Lewin, including him calling someone taking food out of the oven and describing traffic:
