This week on The Houli’s Hooley Radio Hour, Paddy and Bill take a swing at life, parenting, and the future of humanity. It all starts with baseball nostalgia, sparked by a lost glove at a Chicago Dogs game and some less-than-friendly minor leaguers. A school field trip goes sideways, setting off a conversation about the high price of youth sports gear and how today’s kids show up to little league games with $400 bats and gloves that cost more than their parents’ first cars. The conversation shifts to May being Mental Health Awareness Month, and things get personal. The brothers talk about the pressures of modern life, the post-pandemic haze many are still navigating, and how important it is to check in with yourself and with friends. They also explore the quiet impact of loneliness and the value of reconnecting with real people offline.Then it’s on to AI and the weird world we’re heading into. The guys unpack the new “screenless” AI device being developed by OpenAI and designer Johnny Ive, and Paddy tells the story of teaching their 75-year-old dad how to use ChatGPT. Now the old man wants to become an influencer, and honestly, he just might pull it off. The episode closes with a heartfelt tribute to George Wendt, beloved actor and friend of the Houlihan family. Paddy shares memories of visiting Wendt backstage on Broadway, the time Black 47 played at a Wendt party, and the thoughtful notes George would send about his films. A true Chicago legend who never forgot where he came from. Brought to you by Fox’s Pizza in Orland Park and Mokena, Flood Brothers Disposal, and Madden Funds.
