Clearly bored out of his mind with nothing to do and no sports to call for some time, Joe Buck is calling mundane household events while self-quarantining.

In 2020, this is how it starts, but for now it's wholesome minus smacking your own mom:

In addition to doing a good job with that footage, Fox Sports' No. 1 play-by-play guy solicited fans to send him videos of their equally boring realities for the sake of keeping his broadcasting skills as on point as they can be at the moment.

I have good news for you -
While we’re all quarantined right now without any sports, I’d love to get some practice reps in. Send me videos of what you’re doing at home and I’ll work on my play-by-play. Seriously! https://t.co/txAGBLPBGz

That idea was endorsed by broadcasting teammate Erin Andrews. 

Plz post these https://t.co/8h54QvOcvW

Anyways, there's a couple of catches for those looking to send footage. One, you can't just be playing Madden, as explicitly stated here:

But it has to be of daily stuff. Not you playing Madden. Ha https://t.co/Art9dGPRdD

And two, you have to give money to a charity. It looks like we're using the honor system here, but one would hope you have a dollar.

If your video gets posted you have to pledge to donate to a cause during this quarantine. Even if it’s a dollar. Send something! I’m pledging to the St. Louis Community Fund. I’ll do some this week! And supply me with some details please. Here’s my house.

Seems like a nice thing.

Sporting News brainstormed a number of every day events they would liked to see Buck call. So, in that same spirit (see: stealing), here's some more fun things you could do that I'd like to see Buck narrate:

  • Read a book.
  • Work out.
  • Do laundry.
  • Play with your dog. 
  • Go to the bathroom.
