The Houli’s Hooley Podcast, Sat. April 1, 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 and their very good friend, Clay O’Brien. It’s a special April Fool’s Day show this week and the guys prank us right off the top of the show. Ya got us, lads! What are some of the best April Fools jokes done in the past? “I feel like everyday is an April Fools prank..” – Paddy. Billy wants to discuss the disgracefully high cost of parking around Wrigley Field and Clay shares his own Cubs parking problem from last year. Paddy suggests taking an Uber but who has the money for that!? “Take the L and risk your life!” – Clay. The trio mention the new casino in Wrigley as well as the Cubs’ recent win and Bill shares more stories to convince us that “drinking is part of the job”. Paddy shares his dicey Citgo story, also known as the place where he buys all his lottery tickets. Long story short, he ran into an extremely interesting “scientist” there and shares what he overheard… There’s nothing worse than having to ask the gas station clerk for the bathroom key, right? Has anyone actually tried these Snoop Dogg chips yet?! Who else has heard about Wrigleyville’s Dracula? And what is Dracula’s real name?! These questions lead to a discussion on Nicholas Cage’s latest movie and the lads can’t wait to see their boy in action again! We hear some interesting Dracula impressions and then we head over to a musical break with “Fool In The Rain” by Led Zeppelin. Would it be a true Houli’s Hooley episode without some Dental Talk? Nah… Paddy shares his new tooth care plan and it includes cadaver dogs, folks… Some serious discussion regarding the young men going missing around the city and the guys think there may be a serial killer out there. Scary stuff! Baby names these days are getting outta control and these 3 want to bring back some of the old reliables, names like ‘Arson’, ‘Fire’ and ‘Matches’…? Paddy’s son goes to ninja camp and the other 2 are encouraging him to do a triathlon. What exactly IS Liquid Death?! Watch out smokers, you are Dracula’s number 1 prey… The guys end this week with some more Sports Talk and share some of their game predictions for Chicago sports teams. Steamy buns, muskrats and trolling LinkedIn are some of the other topics covered by the terrific trio this week. We end this week’s hilarious show with “Foolin'” by Def Leppard.
