🎙️ The Socially Distant Sports Bar – Episode 263: Choking Out O’Toole

Elis James (Elis & John, Oh What A Time), Mike Bubbins (Mammoth), and Steff Garrero are back with another week of niche sporting brilliance, vintage clips, and beautifully off-topic chaos. Expect flying tackles, Scottish football nostalgia, racket sport wars, and a bit of Brian Blessed for good measure.

"Like a sports podcast, if the sport was optional."
