What's up, everybody, and welcome back to the Anything Better podcast with your host, me, Paul

Berzi, over here in New York. We got Bill Burr over there out west. And today we have an incredible

guest, somebody that we're very excited to have, an amazing football player, an amazing analyst.

Greg Olson is here. Thank you so much for being on the show, bud. Yeah, I appreciate

you guys having me. It's great fun. Yeah, you're the first legit, like beyond legit guest

we've ever had. We went from knucklehead gamblers to a professional football player analyst.

I got to tell you, I love the way you call a game.

I do, you know, and I really do believe that former players, you know, because you played

the game, your knowledge of the game, and then you can go beyond like someone who may have

a broadcaster background, as you understand, beyond the, like, analytics cannot, like, measure like measure like emotions in the game like when to go for

something when not to when to i don't know i don't know it's just something that i've noticed when

when i listen to you call the game so uh just wanted to say that before we started um yeah

absolutely yes uh i echo those sentiments because you, yeah, it's just something about, like, a player that, like, I kind of like when guys know what's going to happen. Like, I like watching the game where they're like, oh, this play looks like this. I know some people don't like that, but I kind of like that to be like,

oh, this guy knows what he's talking about, you know?

No, and there's no offense to like, I like guys like Mike Torrico on them, but like I also like when they're like, you know, this is going to happen. Yeah, but it's weird when it's the former player and they didn't have a good career and then they seemed to know everything that was going on.

It's just like, where the hell was this when you were on the field?

So in the booth, two different roles, right? So the play-by-play guy, he's setting everything up. He's painting the picture. He's talking down a distance and score and remainders, and he's driving the ship in and out of commercial breaks. He's doing ad reads he's pitching Bill Burr's new comedy special on Fox.

You know, he's managing all of those things.

And then obviously as the color commentator, as the quote-unquote analyst,

I believe our job is to not necessarily tell you what you're seeing.

In today's day and age, cameras instant replay, slow-mo,

I mean, it's pretty clear what's happening. There's not a shot that these guys miss.
