Hello and welcome to South Beach Sessions. Super Bowl edition of South Beach Sessions.

0:10.1

We are kind of lonely here because we're outside of Radio Robe, but we wanted our fix of

0:14.1

sports. We wanted to get close to the Super Bowl. We wanted to get close to sports and

0:17.9

we can't use ESPN people to do it anymore. So Nick Wright is the guy we have gone to and

0:22.9

I've long been an admirer of his work. He got into the game pretty young. He's been

0:26.2

very good at this. He's funny and that he's very self-aware and he is introspective. He understands

0:32.9

his journey is super interesting how it is that he got where it is that he got. But one of the reasons

0:38.5

that I wanted to talk to him and I hope I'm not betraying any intimacies here is because

to be the greatest of the takers under 40s. That Nick Wright feels like he is now somebody who has

1:20.2

his own decade in terms of being a sports opinion guy. Now that Bomani Jones has moved on to the old

1:27.2

man taker of being in his 40s. So I wanted to talk to him about his story and we'll talk about it

1:33.5

honestly. And then you will make your own determination about whether he is the best taker in the

1:38.1

business under the age of 40 in sports. Nick, what do you regard as the most interesting parts of

1:46.2

your story, your journey? Being the first person on the LeBron James's The Goat Corner, I think

1:51.9

that defines me as a person, as a man, as a take artist. I don't know. I think my family,

1:58.6

I think because it's the family that I grew up with, meaning like my mom, dad, and sister,

2:04.3

it's a very interesting, you know, unit. And then the family I have now, my wife and our three kids,
