Back after the interval for the second half of the Socially Distant Sports Bar live at the New Theatre, Cardiff. Mike Bubbins, Elis James and Steff Garrero dive into Warren Gatland's take on rugby team stereotypes alongside stories of getting shot in the backside in the Korean War and Chris Akabusi's secret love for Nietzsche.

......and why you should always wear a cricket helmet to a panto.

The first half of the 2nd night for the Socially Distant Sports Bar live at the New Theatre, Cardiff. Join Mike Bubbins, Elis James and Steff Garrero to find out what you missed if you weren't quick enough to get a ticket.

Unsurprisingly Mike reveals a few "interesting" facts about himself, which one of the trio would never run for political office and find out what "two decent sized tangerines in a sack" actually means

Welcome to the Socially Distant Sports Bar.

Steff brings in Race Of The Century, Netflix's fascinating documentary about Australia's historic America's Cup victory, one of the greatest sporting upsets ever seen.

Elis has chosen Waters Gleaming Gold by Ben Jameson, a brilliant account of Olympic rowing, teamwork and what it takes to become the very best.
That wraps up the regular feed for this week.

This week's Bonus Club features Mike on the Western Force, Steff with Olympic pole vaulter Emmanouil Karalis, and Elis brings in We Are The Champions.
