Episode 3687: Ditka’s Ribs, Half Pulled Calves, Da Bears, Enter The Mind Palace
The Champions League is back tonight, including a block-buster clash between PSG and Barcelona this evening, which has Eoin feeling pumped.

What had Eoin feeling less than pumped was an entire plate of wings from Ditka’s Bar in Chicago, many moons ago. He tells us about the war these wings waged on his windpipe, a memory stirred by the news of the death of legendary Bears coach (and restauranteur) Mike Ditka last week.

Luckily US Murph joins us for other more considered, more end-of-life-appropriate memories of one of the most famous figures in NFL history.
