Elis James, Mike Bubbins, Steff Garrero and The Socially Distant Sports Bar are always in search of a legacy. And this week is no different.


Will it be literary? Perhaps the boys will be remembered for introducing new expressions into the English language, with "trudge state" surely destined to become part of the sporting vernacular.


Will it be social? Is the true legacy of Distant Pod the fact that you can walk into almost any pub in Wales and there's a reasonable chance you'll find a Patreon subscriber with his top off, proudly honouring the podcast?


And trust us, you probably don't want to know.


Somewhere amongst all this legacy building, there's actually some sport.


Mike brings us NHL goalkeeper Devin Cooley, Elis explores the increasingly blurred lines between rugby and football, and Steff has a reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do is just run anyway.

Language. Legacy. Topless men in Welsh pubs.

The Socially Distant Sports Bar. Building a legacy, one ridiculous conversation at a time.


Part 2, Hang It In The Louvre, will be out on Friday, featuring a fascinating Netflix documentary about the world of chess and a book about the building of one of football's greatest dynasties.
