Show notes
In this episode of The Checkin with Dwyane Wade, Dwyane and Bob open with pure nostalgia, Bob’s old DJ name “DJ Bowlegs,” his high school dance group “Skinny Boys in the House,” and how Miami teens had to verbally pitch themselves over the phone and verify their weight at Publix before a date. Dwyane talks about his post-NBA recovery routine, steam, sauna, cold plunge, massages, and chiropractic work, visiting Zaya’s school for three days with his dad waking up to grits and bacon, and Zaya’s 19th birthday at Nobu alongside her second annual Translatable Ball. On business, he shares his pride in Steph Curry joining Li-Ning with the Wade brand and how risky that original signing felt 14 years ago. They also get into Druski hosting the BET Awards, the new Scary Movie, and Dwyane going full fan mode yelling at the TV during a Bears game before closing out the “But Why?” segment with Bob’s recycled lunch sign peeve and Dwyane going off about people touching his clothes when he’s in white.
