Welcome the Socially Distant Sports Bar with Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero.
This is the second half of our live show from the Hackney Empire on Wednesday 8th April, with special guest Charlie Baker.
Charlie is a comedian, actor, singer and sports fan who brings exactly the sort of live-wire energy this podcast needs when it is standing on a stage, looking out at a crowd of dozens, and pretending not to notice the empty seats.
Have a listen to the first half, The Hackney Half LIVE, before you listen to this one.

ED — PART 1Title
The Hackney Half LIVE
DescriptionWelcome to Part 1 of this week’s Socially Distant Sports Bar with Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero.
This is the first half of our live show from the Hackney Empire on Wednesday 8th April, recorded in front of a crowd of some people.
Our very special guest was the brilliant Charlie Baker — comedian, actor, singer, sports obsessive and one of the funniest live performers around. Charlie joins the boys on stage for a night of clips, stories, songs, sport and the kind of chaos that can only happen when this podcast is allowed inside a proper theatre.
Was the Hackney Empire completely full? No. Was it spiritually full? Absolutely. Was the half that turned up better than the half that didn’t? Without question.

Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero return for another episode of The Socially Distant Sports Bar.
You might know Elis from his podcast with John Robins "Elis & John" and Mike from his sitcom "Mammoth"
Mike brings in an interview with Aussie Rules player Mark “Jacko” Jackson, the cult figure who became known for his personality, performances and unpredictable energy - hence the title of the episode...
https://youtu.be/LxOljBVil2g
Elis has chosen the book Wide Eyed and Legless by Jeff Connor, the story of the ANC-Halfords cycling team at the Tour de France. It is a tale of ambition, suffering, optimism and the brutal reality of trying to compete at the highest level of professional cycling.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wide-Eyed-Legless-Inside-Tour-France-ebook/dp/B0050OM2Z2/ref=books_amazonstores_desktop_mfs_aufs_ap_sc_dsk_0?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=TaqD0&content-id=amzn1.sym.f9a1288a-66fe-4587-95f9-1387021c317b&pf_rd_p=f9a1288a-66fe-4587-95f9-1387021c317b&pf_rd_r=259-5073092-2401103&pd_rd_wg=D0aaA&pd_rd_r=cf6814ff-c64b-4c0d-a011-af8be33054fa

Elis James is a comedian and broadcaster known for Elis & John while Mike Bubbins is a comedian and actor known for Mammoth.
This week, the boys are looking at rugby size and the perfect breakfast.

Part 2 of the live show from Carmarthen’s Lyric Theatre.
Elis James returns to Carmarthen for a special live recording of The Socially Distant Sports Bar, joined by Mike Bubbins and producer Steff Garrero.
After a short interval — and a pizza in the dressing room — the second half picks up with the crowd fully involved and the conversation that bit looser.
This time, the lads take in 1970s wrestling and sports fandom at its most intense, Elis tries to work out exactly what wakeboarding is, and Steff brings in a story about how a Welsh rugby player’s Filipino parents ended up settling in Llanelli.

Elis James returns to Carmarthen for a special live recording of The Socially Distant Sports Bar, joined by Mike Bubbins and producer Steff Garrero.
Recorded at the Lyric Theatre in front of a sold‑out crowd packed with Elis’ family and friends, this is a proper homecoming show — warm, lively and a bit looser than usual.
In the first half, the conversation ranges from Don Revie’s famously unconventional man‑management techniques, to the realities of Sunday League football, and a brilliant story involving a teacher unexpectedly outsprinting an entire class.

The Socially Distant Sports Bar is a comedy podcast hosted by Elis James (Elis James & John Robins on BBC Radio 5 Live) and Mike Bubbins (Mammoth), alongside Steff Garrero — offering a funny, curious take on sport, culture and the stories that surround them.
This week, it’s a FIFA World Cup Special — a deep dive into the moments, players and chaos that make the tournament what it is.
Yes, we’ve gone slightly SEO‑friendly this week — so you’ll see names like Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldinho and Kylian Mbappé, alongside phrases like World Cup highlights and iconic football matches — but once you’re in, it’s the usual mix of niche clips, big stories and sideways conversations.
Steff chooses Foul Play - Sport, Spies and Family Secrets https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1896803199?i=1000769870330 - a podcast documentary series asking whether the CIA poisoned the England World Cup winning goalkeeper Gordon Banks during the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. It takes in Fidel Castro, JFK, The Scorpions and Peter Bonetti.
Alongside that, Elis introduces Rough Ride by Paul Kimmage — a book about professional cycling, doping and truth in sport. Although not about football, it prompts a broader conversation about integrity, pressure and how sporting achievements are judged and remembered.

Yes, we’ve gone for a slightly SEO‑friendly title — which is why this description also includes names like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Diego Maradona, Pelé, Zinedine Zidane, Kylian Mbappé and terms like World Cup goals, World Cup highlights, greatest World Cup moments… but once you’re in, it’s the usual mix of niche clips, big stories and sideways conversations about whether Mike could be a 13th Century entertainer...
🎧 PART 1The lads look at the experience of getting to games at this year's tournament before diving into World Cup nostalgia.

The Socially Distant Sports Bar, with Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero.
Elis is best known as co‑host of Elis James & John Robins on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds, while Mike is a television writer and star of Mammoth, bringing his own grounded, funny perspective on sport and life. Together, they offer a conversational, humorous take on sport that doesn’t rely on expertise — just curiosity and strong opinions.
The discussion is driven by a documentary exploring football in Senegal, made by a former professional footballer turned filmmaker, offering an insider’s perspective on the structure, passion and challenges of the game in a different football culture.
This is paired with a book choice — Gunslinger by Jeff Pearlman — which examines the life and career of NFL quarterback Brett Favre. It’s a portrait of a hugely talented but deeply flawed sporting figure, prompting discussion about legacy, personality and how sporting greatness is remembered.
