Transcript

00:00Of course, the buzz topic of the week has been Dwayne Wade, the great Dwayne Wade, getting

00:06his statue in front of the Kaseya Center.

00:10It has been getting universally ripped.

00:13And to no surprise yesterday, his guy, Charles Barkley, who, of course, I mean, was this

00:19guy.

00:20I don't know how tight they are anymore.

00:22They used to do T-Mobile.

00:23He's on his T-5.

00:25I don't think so.

00:26I don't think so.

00:27But that is a great commercial.

00:28What was it to everybody's fave?

00:29What was it?

00:30Fave 5?

00:31Fave 5.

00:32Your fave 5.

00:33What was it?

00:34Free texting calls to anybody in your fave 5.

00:35That's how it worked?

00:36Yeah.

00:37Well, Charles Barkley, to harken back to that commercial, he's telling you, get that statue

00:45out of here.

00:46But obviously a great honor for Dwayne.

00:48It's a great honor, but they got to take that thing down.

00:51No!

00:52It was animated.

00:53No, not animated.

00:54If you made an animated face and then they made a bronze statue.

00:56If you made an ugly statue, that's what it would look like.

00:59That thing's awful.

01:00It's not awful.

01:01Look, he's making an animated face.

01:05There's a moment.

01:07That was after he saw the statue right there.

01:10That's the face he made after he saw it.

01:14One of the best reactions I saw was that, look, if you showed that to a thousand people

01:18and didn't say who just got a statue, would you ever say, oh, yeah, that's Dwayne Wade.

01:23I would have said Dwayne Wade making an animated face.

01:26The statue was so bad.

01:28They had to put all his stats behind it so you know who it was.

01:32Hey, shout out to the statue maker, man.

01:34Yeah.

01:35Shout out to the statue maker.

01:36You put all that time in it, y'all gonna kill him all.

01:38Get your education next time.

01:40Jeez.

01:41Wow.

01:42That was awful.

01:43I mean, jeez.

01:44Wow.

01:45I mean, I don't look, again, I've said this all week.

01:49I don't think it's that bad, but I thought Rocky V was good.

01:53Like I can't, I mean, everybody thinks that the statue stinks.

01:57I guess it's, I mean, I don't know what to tell you.

01:59I went to it the other day too.

02:00I took the closeup exam and like, and my final take of it going away was, I think there's

02:06a side to it.

02:08I think head on, I guess it looks good, but no one's going to look at it head on because

02:11nobody is eight feet tall.

02:13But like, I think the one angle that you look at it, it's a little harsher than it is when

02:16you look at it from the right side.

02:20It looks, it looks like D Wade.

02:22Okay.

02:23I'm telling you it does.

02:24But Tobin, shouldn't like whatever angle you look at the statue, you shouldn't not look

02:27like the person.

02:28I, I guess, but it's also, I think it's a hard thing to do.

02:31I think it's hard to make, like how many statues are that intense?

02:35Okay.

02:36Well, I, this is what I thought.

02:38It's a statue, not a bus, but maybe they should have gotten the people from Canton, you know,

02:43Ohio too.

02:44Yes, they are good.

02:45They are very good in getting, but these guys did, they did the, the Michael Jordan statue,

02:51but it's not hard to do a Jordan statue.

02:54He's bald, but it's not the hair.

02:55It's the job.

02:56It's on the eyes.

02:57Everybody says though, this is the thing.

02:59This is where they went.

03:00Like everybody says it's the jaw.

03:02That's where everybody goes to.

03:03And D Wade, that was his idea.

03:05Like he wanted it to be intense.

03:07He said down to the bubblegum that's in his mouth, like, I don't know, just maybe it was

03:12too detailed.

03:13I think that's probably, if they would have gone with less details, you're looking at

03:17me crazy, but I'm saying like, if they went less details, then it would, maybe it wouldn't

03:21have gotten as many critiques, but that's weird because if they were detailed to like

03:26the fine comb, it shouldn't look, it should, there should, but the thing is, is like, it's

03:30flexed.

03:31Like, I think that looks like D Wade.

03:33I don't know.

03:34Maybe I'm crazy.

03:35I think that looks like him, but it is, I'm going to tell you what it is.

03:38And this is pause worthy, but it is, I think the way D Wade is such a good looking person,

03:45that this statue doesn't, that's what it is.

03:48Well, he's also like, we don't see him angry ever.

03:51Like he's always kind of got like the, you know, the, we seen him angry, but it's not

03:55like that.

03:56Not like that.

03:57That's one of his most intense moments though.

03:58Um, I don't know.

03:59I went, I thought that it was, I thought it looked cool.

04:02I know I'm in the bag for D Wade.

04:04It's just going to happen when he, you know, he's, you know, the, we got the street named

04:09after him and you know, he's coming up to me afterwards, Goosey's moment on, you know,

04:13best birthday present ever.

04:14But you know, what are you going to do?

04:17I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

04:19Everybody's everybody hates it, but I love how you, but you know, it's over and I give

04:22you credit, man.

04:23When you were in the locker room and you asked Jimmy, Hey, what do you think about that D

04:27Wade statue?

04:28Jimmy gave you a smile and he was like, Oh, I think it's cool.

04:31But it was just, that smile was like, I'm sure he's killed him.

04:36I'm sure.

04:37Has LeBron said anything about LeBron has said anything about it?

04:39I don't think they've asked LeBron, but he hadn't said anything on social media about

04:43it.

04:44What's Stephen A?

04:45Stephen A was there.

04:47I didn't hear.

04:48I got to find out what he said about it, but I don't think Brian, I haven't seen, I don't,

04:51I haven't seen anybody defend it.

04:54Nobody has come out publicly and said, Jeff Teague and his club, five, 20 podcasts, that's

04:58a good podcast.

04:59They ripped it.

05:00Uh, Gil, Gillian ripped it.

05:03Yeah.

05:04Like, you know, crazy.

05:07Hey, wait, is the Kobe statue look that was the Kobe statue outside staples or now crypto?

05:14Well, they have multiple statues of Kobe.

05:17The one that's like, I think, I don't know which one they did.

05:19I think they did the one that just got revealed because D Wade said that 24, when he shot

05:24it, like, yeah.

05:25Cause D Wade said that he was, when he went to go visit the factory, which he said he

05:29went four times, four hours a piece that the Kobe statue was being made at the same time.
