🎙️ Welcome to The Socially Distant Sports Bar – Episode 259

Elis James (Elis & John, Oh What A Time), Mike Bubbins (Mammoth), and Steff Garrero return for another round of sporting chaos, wild tangents, and barely-researched brilliance.

This week? Public toilet jeopardy, rugby referee rage, George Foreman defying time, a YA novel about running, and one of the most terrifying away ends in football. Just another week in the Bar.

“Like a sports podcast, if the sport was optional.”
