96. It Happened Again, with Adam Zampa
Listen now
Description
This week we discuss forgettable T20 cricket, the benefits of memory erasure, and the best dessert wine with which to digest Steve Smith. There's also England vs New Zealand - yes, it's happened again, but this time it's a box office flop sequel - and the concerning devolution of umpires from kindly grandfathers to hardcore porn stars. Adam Zampa goes from representing his country in front of the eyes of the world to sitting watching a 2ndXI game with his girlfriend, calling in to The Grade Cricketer Podcast, while the sounds of the Adelaide Police Department race past the ground. We ask him, what's your message to rare blokes out there? #AskTGC ponders whether you can carpool with the opposition, and is there such a thing as a "moral" hundred? Almost certainly not. None of this possible without our great friends at Budgy Smuggler. *** We're performing live across Australia in 2019.
