🎙️ Welcome to The Socially Distant Sports Bar – Episode 252
Elis James (Elis & John, Oh What A Time), Mike Bubbins (Mammoth), and Steff Garrero return with another round of sporting nonsense, barely-researched takes, and clips that will leave you questioning everything. This week, we’re covering everything from rugby legends to DIY football stands and the life story of a boxing icon. Grab a drink, get comfy, and enjoy the chaos.
"Like eavesdropping on a pub conversation where sport is just the excuse for the chat."

- Jiffy on Shane Williams – Mike kicks us off with a classic bit of rugby chat.
- The legend of Nipsy in Barnsley – Elis unearths some grassroots gold.
- Peloton's finest fake names – Steff discovers the greatest (and rudest) made-up usernames to ever pop up on a leaderboard.
