🎉 The Socially Distant Sports Bar – 5th Anniversary Special! 🎙️ Episode 258

Elis James (Elis & John, Oh What A Time), Mike Bubbins (Mammoth), and Steff Garrero are back for a very special episode – celebrating five incredible years of the podcast!

From our very first episode to now, it’s been five years of sporting chaos, niche nostalgia, and barely relevant tangents. This week, we’re marking the occasion in style:

🎸 College football anthems

📚 A must-read book which clearly isn’t about sports & an eye-opening sports doc

🎙️ 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.

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.

"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.
