## Resource

Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero return for another episode of The Socially Distant Sports Bar . You might know Elis from his podcast with John Robins "Elis & John" and Mike from his sitcom "Mammoth" Mike brings in an interview with Aussie Rules player Mark “Jacko” Jackson, the cult figure who became known for his personality, performances and unpredictable energy - hence the title of the episode...  https://youtu.be/LxOljBVil2g Elis has chosen the book Wide Eyed and Legless by Jeff Connor, the story of the ANC-Halfords cycling team at the Tour de France. It is a tale of ambition, suffering, optimism and the brutal reality of trying to compete at the highest level of professional cycling. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wide-Eyed-Legless-Inside-Tour-France-ebook/dp/B0050OM2Z2/ref=books_amazonstores_desktop_mfs_aufs_ap_sc_dsk_0?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=TaqD0&content-id=amzn1.sym.f9a1288a-66fe-4587-95f9-1387021c317b&pf_rd_p=f9a1288a-66fe-4587-95f9-1387021c317b&pf_rd_r=259-5073092-2401103&pd_rd_wg=D0aaA&pd_rd_r=cf6814ff-c64b-4c0d-a011-af8be33054fa Expect cycling pain, Australian chaos, sporting nostalgia and the usual Distant Pod detours. 🛍️ NEW MERCH ALERT We’ve launched a brand new merch store — mugs, hoodies, prints and more!
