The Socially Distant Sports Bar
Contains very strong language and adult humour

Available for over a year

Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero return for Friday's Socially Distant Sports Bar. In this part, Elis discusses the Iplayer documentary Kevin Bridges: In Search of the Beautiful Game, a documentary in which the comedian explores football, identity and the emotional pull of the sport. Steff brings in Humans Not Robots: When Elite Sport and Real Life Collide by Michail Antonio, a book about the pressures of elite sport and the reality of being a human being behind the performances, headlines and expectations. A contrast to Elis' Roy Kean clip in Wednesday's episode. There is football, comedy, vulnerability, pressure and the usual mix of sporting insight and nonsense.
