This week on The Houli’s Hooley, it’s just Paddy and Bill with Clay being missed dearly. The boys head to their alma mater Mount Carmel High School for a nationally televised football game and discover that the old neighborhood stadium has become the Super Bowl. Jumbotrons, ESPN cameras, merch tents, tailgating campers, sponsorship activations and […]

This Week on The Houli’s Hooley: Paddy, Bill, and Clay are back from the so called Irish Riviera, Long Beach / New Buffalo, where the Houlihans enjoyed the annual family beach getaway, while poor Charlotte spent much of it battling a summer cold. From there, the lads wander into a wild discussion about nicknames, small […]

The gang is on vacation this week. So we went into the archives to present a throw back to one of our favorite episodes from the past year.  This is the Rocket Shank episode that aired on May 30th. This week on The Houli’s Hooley, Paddy, Bill, and Clay dive into the most dramatic Memorial […]

Paddy, Billy, and Clay are back with another episode of completely reasonable business planning. A $1.04 billion Powerball winner in Quincy gets the lads wondering what you actually do with $260 million in cash. Naturally, they ask ChatGPT to calculate how much 100-dollar bills weigh and promptly invent SpaceWise, the world’s first semi-truck-based lottery-winnings transportation […]

This week on the Houli’s Hooley, Paddy survives the Lollapalooza pickup nightmare, the lads talk White Sox baseball, and dream about what it would take to bring baseball to Ireland.

It all starts with dreams of hitting the $700 million lottery, which quickly turns into shopping sprees for luxury watches, ridiculous shoes, and the kind of impulse purchases only a billionaire with zero supervision could justify. Then comes the future. […]

This week on The Houli’s Hooley, Paddy, Bill, and Clay somehow turn one innocent golf shirt into a full-scale public relations crisis. Paddy proudly wears his favorite pineapple polo, only to learn that certain pineapples—especially upside-down ones—may be sending invitations he never intended. The lads immediately appoint themselves the FBI’s Fruit Division, debating swinger etiquette, […]

Summer has officially melted everyone’s brains. This week, Paddy, Bill, and Clay relive a Fourth of July backyard reunion with old grammar school buddies that quickly turns into a nostalgia fest about leaf fires, Zippo lighters, secondhand smoke, and all the things that somehow didn’t kill kids growing up in the ’80s. Paddy gives an […]
