Nick Wright (23:52)
So first of all, what is this, a Ken Burns documentary? How long are commercial breaks? My God, I said I'd sit through the break. I didn't know, I mean, my God. Well, so here's the benefit of. There's not a lot of benefits of the fact that you're not a listener to the ever growing and very popular what's Right with Nick Wright podcast hosted my son Damanze. One of the benefits is you're going to get to hear this story for the first time. Subscribers and listeners got to hear it yesterday. Subscribe on YouTube. All right, Saturday night for the Super Bowl. I'm at one of the many super bowl parties. Of course, you've met my wife. She's with her best friend. Both beautiful women. As often is the case whenever we go to, like, some, you know, nightclub type place. We haven't been in there five minutes, and all of a sudden, some group of fellas been like, hey, we have a section. You guys want to sit here? They're wearing heels. So they're like, yeah, they. My wife then says to me, do you want to sit? I'm like, no, I'm gonna go ahead and not sit in these fellas section. Who invited you in? Because you're beautiful. And they have no idea we're together. You guys go ahead. I'll have fun. Circle around UFC fights on a giant screen. So I'm just standing kind of close to the section, watching USC fight, having a few cocktails. Some point after I stood there a while, a woman walks up to me, says, can I ask you a question? Like, of course. Why do you talk so bad about Jalen Hurts? I'm like, well, I don't know that it's. I do. And, you know, I do a little tap dancing. And she's like, no. And she seems to have some very quotables. Some I said, some I didn't. And I'm like, okay, well, let. Okay, so here are the good things I've said. Here are the critical things I've said. You know, I throw on some of that patented Nick Wright charm, and I figure we're, you know, this is going. We're going to be out of here quickly, not. Not budging an inch. And then I realized something Dan probably would have realized earlier had I not been a couple cocktails in. And I said, ma'am, may I ask you a question? She said, yeah. I said, are you Jalen Hurts, Mother? She said, yes, I am. I'm like, God, dog it. I'm like, this is. And I said, well, I'm now in a terrible position. She said, what do you mean? I'm like, well, you're his mom. I'm supposed to right now. Be like, ma'am, I'm so sorry. Your son's amazing. You know, I'm playing a character on tv. Like, you know, it's my job. Because you're his mom. I was like, however, I don't know if you respect me to begin with, but if I do that, you certainly won't. It's like. So now I feel like I have to say to you why I believe the somewhat negative things I've said about your son as a thrower of the football. And she's like, yes, go ahead. And, Dan, when I tell you. I sat there, I stood there for 15 minutes having a conversation about, like, listen, I thought he handled the benching at Alabama incredibly well. I think I. I think this. I was like, now, did I call him the weak link of the Eagles offense? I did. However, the context of that is I think they have a top two. Everything else, I think top two quarterback. And she really grilled me. And then I look to my sides, and I'm like, I don't know if these are cousins, brothers, uncles, or whatever, but I'm now kind of flanked by what appears to be the Hertz family. So she says to me at the end, she was like, what are you gonna say? She didn't say it harshly. She said, what are you gonna say when he wins? And because I'm me, and I can't ever stop being me, I'm like, well, if he went. She's like, no, when he wins. And I was like, well, I gotta see the game first, but then we'll see. And, you know, it was nice. And I got out of it. I went outside sweating bullets. Didn't like. I don't know what just happened. But that's my. That's my night before the super bowl story.
