🎧 This Week:
From Roy Hodgson’s perfectly baffling post-match thoughts to Dexys honouring a darts legend, Pastor Joe blessing NASCAR, sarcastic keepers, Claude Makélélé appreciation, and the wonderful world of softball — it's another classic week of sporting detours.
Elis James (Elis & John, Oh What A Time), Mike Bubbins (Mammoth), and Steff Garrero return to rifle through the weird, heartfelt, and downright brilliant side of sport.
“It’s like a sports podcast… except when it absolutely isn’t.”
📌 PART 1
🟢 Mike: Pastor Joe Nelms' NASCAR prayer – Praise for the fuel and the wives
🟢 Elis: Roy Hodgson delivers an all-time post-match moment
🟢 Steff: Dexys – “Jackie Wilson Said” with… Jocky Wilson?
📌 PART 2 (OUT FRIDAY)
🎥 Steff Documentary: The Best of Saint & Greavsie – classic chaos, timeless telly
📖 Mike Book: Pocket Money by Gordon Burn – snooker, celebrity, and obsession
📌 PART 3 – PATREON EXCLUSIVE
👉 patreon.com/distantpod gets you:
🟢 Steff: Claude Makélélé – the original “Makélélé role”
