🎙️ Welcome to The Socially Distant Sports Bar – Episode 249
Elis James (Elis & John, Oh What A Time), Mike Bubbins (Mammoth), and Steff Garrero are back with another episode of sporting nonsense, barely-researched opinions, and jaw-dropping clips. This week’s show dives into everything from rugby legends to the ridiculous sexism still alive in sport. Grab a pint and settle in – it’s going to be a good one.
“Sounds like a bunch of children bantering about a teacher in detention.”

- Buccaneers' balls – Mike unravels an NFL mystery.
