PTFO - From Ronaldo to D-Wade: Athlete Statues, Reviewed by Pulitzer-Winning Art Critic Jerry Saltz
Tue, 03 Dec 2024
Not since the Greco-Roman period has sculpture mattered this much in sports. And Jerry Saltz — the Pulitzer Prize-winning senior art critic for New York magazine — has zero idea who Dwyane Wade is. Which is precisely why we asked the erstwhile Jewish Cowboy (we'll explain) to evaluate our athletic Bronze Age, from Michael Jordan to Cristiano Ronaldo. And that's before we get to "I Can't Believe It's Not Pablo (Butter on Gasbag, 2024)." Plus: the conscious uncoupling of art and money, sex workers in Jacksonville, how to make an enemy of envy, and why you can't be a vampire alone. Learn more about your ad choices.

Chapter 1: What sound is introduced at the beginning?
Welcome to Pablo Torre Finds Out. I am Pablo Torre, and today we're going to find out what this sound is.
That is an absolute sh** work of art because it looks like a little mini statue on an idiotic store-bought trophy. It's crap.

I only know how to use Instagram because a student signed me up and I lost my password. But as long as I can stay logged in, I love it. I don't know how to do anything, though. Like if I had to post this, I'm unable to do it.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Are we rolling, Chris? You want all of this. I unfortunately... Okay. We'll start again when you're ready. No, we've started. Okay. We've started, if that's okay with you. Oh. The thing that I didn't realize until just a second ago when you walked in here is that you don't know your own password to your Instagram account? Yeah. Do you know yours? I do. What is it?

Chapter 2: What is Jerry Saltz's initial opinion on athlete statues?
Well, we're going to... But is it like... I would tell you, but it's my password to everything and it is very hackable.
And it's like an old address or your... It's a thing that's very dear to me.
I'm like talking to a mentalist, I feel like. Okay. It's very dear to me.
It's a childhood resonance. Got it. Got it. I know what it is. It's okay.
Yeah. Well, now I'm very insecure about what I project. For people who don't know Jerry Sells, by the way, thank you so much for being here.
It's a pleasure. I love, I've heard of you. I was thrilled to come here, but I've never listened because I don't.
Yeah, well, this is the ideal audience for me for this specific episode, I think. Because I know of you as, of course, the guy who won the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism in 2018. Right. I am a magazine nerd, a journalism nerd. Practitioner, but also acolyte in an era where that's intimidating.
Yeah, we're the last of our kind. All these magazines, The New Yorker, New York. No one knows what we are. I don't know what we do. But what we do, we do better than everybody else until there's no more need for it. And then we'll just go away.
