25 apr· The Socially Distant Sports Bar
🎙️ The Socially Distant Sports Bar – Episode 261: Medium Performance
Elis James (Elis & John, Oh What A Time), Mike Bubbins (Mammoth), and Steff Garrero return for another week of niche sporting brilliance, poorly researched tangents, and top-tier nonsense.
This week we’ve got: good old-fashioned Welsh rugby nostalgia, Shaun Edwards’ eternal intensity, Millie Bright doing business, and the surprisingly emotional journey of a curling stone. Oh, and a Super Bowl, 1980s-style.
"Like a sports podcast, if the sport was optional."

🎙️ The Socially Distant Sports Bar – Episode 260: Our Friends at the Ford Motor Company
Elis James (Elis & John, Oh What A Time), Mike Bubbins (Mammoth), and Steff Garrero are back with another week of sporting chaos, niche nostalgia, and tangents that take longer to arrive than a Capri Mk2 in rush hour.
This week we’ve got: Wally losing it in the dugout, rugby underdogs upsetting the giants, Elton John’s autobiography, and a heartfelt poem about Steve Bull delivered by actual rock royalty. Also – the Grand Slam Track, some subtle Rishi shade, and a celebration of Aaron Ramsey’s journey from Caerphilly to Captain.
“Like a sports podcast, if the sport was optional.”
✨ What’s on This Week’s Episode?

It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and has a Led Zeppelin frontman reading about a Wolves legend.
🔗 Watch the clip

🔗 Watch the try
📌 PART 2 (Out Friday)

257: Joe Marler (Pt 2)
28 mrt· The Socially Distant Sports Bar
🎙️ The Socially Distant Sports Bar – Episode 257
Elis James (Elis & John, Oh What A Time), Mike Bubbins (Mammoth), and Steff Garrero return with another round of top-tier sporting nonsense, barely researched takes, and an absolutely brilliant special guest.
"Like a sports podcast, if the sport was optional."
✨ This Week’s Special Guest – Joe Marler!
England rugby legend Joe Marler steps into the bar for an episode packed with stories, laughs, and unexpected detours. If you loved our guest episodes with Chesney Hawkes, Josh Widdicombe, or Sam Warburton, you’re going to love this one.
Joe’s career speaks for itself:
🏉 95 caps for England and a 2017 British & Irish Lions tour
🏆 Three Six Nations titles and two World Cup Finals
🎖️ Harlequins Hero (2009-2024), with three Premiership titles and a European Challenge Cup
Now that he’s swapped the scrum for the studio, Joe’s got plenty to say – and, as you’d expect, nothing is off-limits!
(📢 Huge thanks to Dave Doodlemoose for the bespoke artwork on every Guest Episode!)
🎙️ Joe’s Got His Own Podcast Too!
Joe’s now deep in the world of podcasting with Joe Marler’s Things People Do, where he dives into the weird, wonderful, and downright bizarre jobs that people do. If you enjoy this episode, you’ll love his pod too!
🎉 THIS WEEK’S SHOW – Don’t Miss It!
Joe’s brought some cracking clips along for the ride:
🥇 Stephen Bradbury’s Gold Medal Miracle – The most ridiculous Olympic win of all time. A lesson in patience… or just dumb luck?
📺 Watch here
🏅 Jonathan Edwards’ Triple Jump World Record – A world record so good, they had to check the tape twice.
📺 Watch here
❄️ Things People Do – How to Sh*t in the Arctic – Yes, really. You’ll never complain about a public toilet again.
📺 Watch here
⚽ The Clip That Didn’t Make It – Cantona Kicks a Fan – One of the wildest moments in football history.

256: Just Two Spanners & A Hammer Please Mate (Pt 2)
21 mrt· The Socially Distant Sports Bar
🎙️ The Socially Distant Sports Bar – Episode 256
Elis James (Elis & John, Oh What A Time), Mike Bubbins (Mammoth), and Steff Garrero return for another week of sporting chaos, niche nostalgia, and barely relevant tangents. This episode has everything—Welsh rugby battles, vintage cricket, a dash of karma, and an insight into the mind of James Milner.
"Like a sports podcast, if the sport was optional."
✨ What’s on This Week’s Episode?
🏃‍♂️ Colin Jackson: Resilience – Elis picks a documentary on the hurdles legend, charting his incredible career and missing out on Olympic Gold.
💥 Karma comes for the cocky – Mike presents a glorious example of instant sporting justice.
🏏 Cricket from the 1920s – Elis unearths some grainy footage of the game’s golden age, when men wore blazers, barely ran between the wickets, and no one smiled.
