Welcome in What's Right? with Nick Wright, episode 503 This episode of What's Right? with Nick Wright is presented to you by Boost Mobile. Damonza, great to see you. Very exciting moment yesterday as I get a paperless post invitation to Myla's first birthday party. And it is accompanied by a video of her attempting to take her first steps. She has a little baby walker helping her now. Very quick because we have something that we need to get to right off top of the show, so we won't spend too much time in the personal lives part of it. However, your mom is flying out to California this weekend. You and Maddie are going to have one of your first weekends without the baby, because your mom is going to be there.

Has there been a discussion, is there any anxiety of what if in the next 72 hours she takes her first steps?

Damonza (1:16)

I think there's just been overall anxiety, but the steps, yeah. So that's not on the board. No, I mean, that will be unfortunate, 100%.

Nick Wright (1:27)

Here's the thing, I'm telling you right now, I'm telling you right now, I only bring it up because it wouldn't be that unfortunate. And here's why, first of all, and I don't want you to bring it up to Maddie, because she's not thinking about it, don't ever think about it.

I have no recollection whatsoever of Deanna's first step.

Damonza (1:49)

None.

Nick Wright (1:50)

Like, I'm just telling you, like no, I'm not being, I'm just telling you, I don't remember it. It is in the moment, it's something, but it's like what counts as a step, like she stumbled, she fell. So like my point is this, like you can have a lot of first steps. It's really what, you know, it's however you want to define it.

And so I, but don't have anxiety, enjoy your guys weekend. We got a lot to do today. Your mom's flying out here in the next hour or so.

But let's get right to it because we've got a, we've got a media beef we need to get to. And it involves another father-son podcast. And the, I mean, I'm really going to need you, like the father involved in this is a former great pro athlete. So even though he's older than me, I feel like he still probably would have the upper hand. So I'd really need, I need you to carry a lot of the weight.

SPEAKER_3 (2:51)

Exactly right.

Nick Wright (2:52)

So we'll get to that in a moment. But first straight to voicemail brought to you by Boost Mobile.

Michael Porter Jr. says the Nets will win 50-plus games, which is a wonderful moment for me to let the producers know that is this right here. This moment here is the last time we ever mention anything Michael Porter Jr. says on this show.

I don't know if he's the first, but he is on a very short list that is maybe just him where there is, there is nothing he can say that I actually want to make the show. Not in Straight to Voicemail, not in these crazy podcasts he does, not in these streams where he's like, hey, Neon, look, I've got a door dash hub in my house. I'm not interested in any Michael Porter Jr. related things. Sam Darnold avoids IR. He pulled his butt muscle, but they think he'll be back in a few weeks. Drew Lock's going to start. We actually will get to that in our picks. Yeah, go ahead.

Damonza (3:45)

Could you read that on the graphic as Darnold avoids IR? He's a lock to start because that's what I read it as yesterday. I was like, oh, the line for Arizona looks a little funny. Sam Darnold's playing. It's minus plus three and a half of the Cardinals.

You know what?

Nick Wright (3:59)

That is a totally reasonable reading of that.

And what is the especially because it's every letter is capitalized. So it doesn't make it clear that lock is a proper noun. Darnold avoids IR, lock to start week two. Yeah, that really could throw you off. That actually is a good note. And Kirk Cousins loves In-N-Out, calls it a problem. I'm actually, In-N-Out, I agree with him on, is not. I know you feel differently than me. These are your Texas roots a bit. It's not overrated. It's properly rated. It's the best hamburger in America.
