Ron Cook and Vinnie Richichi hold down the 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. slot on Pittsburgh's 93.7 The Fan. Four hours can be a lot of time to fill for five days a week, even in a town with a hockey team on a winning streak, an NCAA-bound college basketball team, the Steelers just being the Steelers, and something something something the Pirates yeah whatever.


For some reason, Noo Yawk Vinnie took a little time yesterday to tell his listeners all about buzkashi, the national sport of Afghanistan. Except Richichi—hilariously and earnestly—kept saying something else, over and over and over again, confident he was using the right word. Cook, none the wiser, went right along with it. "Makes about as much sense to me sometimes as baseball does." Cook was trying to make a joke there. He had no idea how funny it actually was.
