In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Sam and Paul Harvey about why we love to hate Nick Kyrgios while other nations admire him, the double standards on display in his casting by the media, what illustrator and caricaturist Paul Harvey sees in Nick Kyrgios and why we need characters like him in professional sport.
