The Houli’s Hooley Podcast, Sat. February 4, 2023

Paddy Houlihan, Bill Houlihan, and Clay O’Brien

Fox’s Pizza, Guinness, Big Corner Tavern and Flood Brothers Disposal present The Houli’s Hooley with brothers Bill and Paddy Houlihan who are joined by their good friend, Clay O’Brien. The trio reunite again this week and they begin the show by taking a look back over Clay’s exciting week on the slopes. “It was nice weather and no tragedies!” – Clay. This leads to a discussion about the danger of driving in the mountains. Clay may or may not have seen Kurt Russell building a bonfire for some snow children while singing.. “Are there ski gangs?!” – Billy’s asking the important questions and the Houlihan brothers bring Clay up to date on what he missed last week. So that basically means more heartburn talk. Fun fact: Clay yodels while he listens to previous Houli’s Hooley shows! ‘Puffy jackets and Coldplay’ screams skiing in Colorado.. The Trump impersonations return this week and we’re happy to have them back! Paddy shares some parenting tips as well as advice for filing your taxes this year. It’s common knowledge that Lake Forest is ‘the Munich of the North Shore’, right? Then we head over to Sports Talk with focus on Billy’s experience at the recent Bulls game and Clay dives into the lack of rule enforcement in the NBA. There’s also some Super Bowl chatter before the ‘Gerd’ talk returns this week with some advice from our trio on what foods to avoid. What are some useful winter sports to get into? Clay suggests ice skating and maybe some pickleball…? Billy’s spittin’ some serious bars again! We remember the great Lanny Poffo who passed away this week and the lads look back at some of his best WWE moments. What would the Houlihan fighting duo look like if they joined the WWE? We take a well-needed musical break from the insanity with “Winter” by The Rolling Stones. We also take some time to remember the brothers’ Uncle Brian who passed away recently and they share some of their fond and funny memories of him including his friendship with the infamous Ron Jeremy! The lads continue with the comedy by discussing what they would change their names to if they had the choice. “Why aren’t we famous?” – Clay. Would you live in a nursing home? What does Tom Brady wear that Paddy could pull off? Should the brothers start wearing their High School State Championship rings again? These are just some of the interesting questions posed by our favorite trio this week. They end the show by discussing Paddy’s childhood Scoliosis and his current health concerns. AC/DC plays us out with one of the lads’ favorites called “Who Made Who”.
