S2E40: George Elliot | Tearing down the ceiling - Proving the impossible is possible

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 18:00:00 +0000

On today’s episode we’ve got the infamous George Elliot to end Season Two with a bang. In our opinion George has to be one of the most dynamic and charismatic characters motorsports has ever seen. Known for his high octane lifestyle, George lives life on the edge.

Growing up on the outskirts of Sydney, he’s done everything from making a movie called The Crop, to becoming a best selling author of not one but two books (Terminal Greed and Final Custody), flying helicopters and also winning the 1992 Australian NASCAR Championship.

In this episode we chat with George in-depth about his business V8 Fast Track Experience, growing up in La Perouse in a shipping container, working on an oil refinery, street racing at fourteen years old, playing rugby at school, racing in speedway at the Sydney Showground, we get stuck into George’s NASCAR career, how to get and keep sponsors, racing the old V8 Brute Utes, handling a Trans Am with a torn shoulder for an entire season, why George wrote his first best-seller which including telling a fib to Bryce Courtney, making an award winning film against the odds, the danger zone vs your comfort zone, insane helicopter stories that involve a giant marshmallow, owning and selling a pub for $12M, advice for breaking down doors and holy moly George is still after the trifecta with the third book in his best-selling series not too far away.

Just stop reading and start listening because this is one incredible episode we are super excited to end the season with. Enjoy listening to the inspiring George ‘Hollywood’ Elliot’s, stories beyond the helmet.

S2E38: Nathan Herne | Unapologetically authentic - Australia's next big export

Mon, 23 Jan 2023 18:00:00 +0000

On today’s episode we’ve got rising star Nathan Herne who just headed off to the states with the epic goal of being the next Aussie to race NASCAR. Please note, this episode was recorded prior to Nathan announcing his drive with Steven-Miller Racing in the American Trans Am series for 2023.

Did you know there was a time Nathan competed in Tenpin bowling? Or how he woke up thinking he was dreaming, but in fact his mate Jimmy Golding was hard on the decks?

In this episode we really get to know the man from Lismore as we chat about family life, why he moved to Melbourne, housemate stories, working life at Garry Rogers Motorsports, the pros and cons of Supercars and ARG, sponsorships, mentors including Marcos Ambrose, go-kart career, Formula Ford racing, what it’s like to drive a sprintcar, early days of racing Trans Am in Australia, Aussie vs US Trans Am series, avoiding crashes, what it's like to drive an S5000, we touch on the 2020 Bathurst 1000 and most importantly the lessons learned, the Trans Am championship epic burnout, explaining motorsports to outsiders and a hell of a lot more.

We absolutely loved our chat with Nathan and who knew, we weren’t far off guessing his next move. So without further ado let’s get into Nathan’s stories, beyond the helmet.

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 18:00:00 +0000

On today’s episode we’ve got legendary sprint car driver Warren Ferguson, a privateer in the scene. Growing up in Granville, just around the corner from Parramatta Speedway, it had always been Warren’s dream to race 410’s. Warren has raced not only in Australia, but the United States also! A dream many aspire to.

Tune in to hear about Warren’s early BMX career, growing up alongside big family names in speedway, Liverpool and Westmead Speedway memories, understanding how speedway works (including how some promoters like to mess with the tracks), US vs Aussie Speedway, online dating, wild road trip stories, debt collecting with Joey Saldana’s dad, why some sprint car drivers retire, sponsorships and what really happened while working on the Homebush Olympic site.

We could go on and on about the stories he told but instead of rambling on, how about you have a listen and tell us what you think of Warren’s stories, beyond the helmet.

S2E33: Wally Storey | Engineering Pathways to Success

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 18:00:00 +0000

On today’s episode we’ve got legendary racing engineer Wally Storey, also known as the grandpa of the paddock. Wally is loved by everyone down pit-lane and boy oh boy in this episode, does he have some stories to tell.

Wally started his career racing in Formula Fords and decided it got too expensive to compete despite winning numerous races. So, what do you do when you’ve run out of cash? You help your mate! Wally helped out his best friend Bruce Connelly who went on to win the National Formula Ford Championship and that's only just the beginning.

In this podcast you will learn about everything you need to know about Australian motorsports. Wally talks about the engineering side of Supercars, Touring Cars and managing superstar drivers like Jamie Whincup, the late Jason Richards and many more. We also discuss this year's Bathurst 1000 where Wally worked as the team manager for the Caltex Young Gun's, the nitty gritty of the V8 Supercar rule book and what it's really like to work in motorsports.

Hooly is not left speechless in many episodes on this podcast, but the way Wally told these stories will leave you wanting more. Anyway, enough chit chat, start listening and make sure you have a pen because there are plenty of valuable notes to take, beyond the helmet!

S2E30: Sam Young | The man with the laughs - 4x4 adventurer & epic content creator!

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 18:00:00 +0000

On today’s episode we’ve got Sam Young, who some of you might know from his YouTube Channel, SamYoung 4x4. Sam absolutely loves his Four-Wheel Drives and is an avid personality in the motorsports scene creating content that's a cut above the rest.

Known for his Naughty 40, we chat about his pride and joy, but please note this episode was filmed before it was stolen in Queensland last month. We only hope to see it returned soon, but no matter what happens we know Sam will come back stronger and create something even more killer for fans!

This episode we sat down with Sam to discuss business, social media and love for cars and his racing mates around the track. This is a different take on the motorsports scene over a few beers. Trust us when we say, you don’t want to miss this one as it is pretty hilarious what we get up to in the studio.

In this interview right towards the end Hooly decided to make it a bit weird (nothing unusual), so let's not waste anymore time and hold on tight. We hope you enjoy our chat with Sam Young, beyond the 4x4.

S2E26: Stu McCarthy | Chatting with Stu Rat, the man behind the mic

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 18:00:00 +0000

On today’s episode we’ve got Stu McCarthy. Speedway fans might recognise Stu’s familiar voice known for entertaining crowds at the old Parramatta Speedway and in recent months the new Eastern Creek Speedway and Sydney Dragway that sit side by side.

We spent some time getting to know the man behind the mic including his family ties in speedway with the Bell Bowen family and his chronic autoimmune diseases, which he refuses to let define his life. Stu is an absolute inspiration for those who might also be fighting illness, disability or injury, including raising awareness for Muscular Dystrophy, which we will chat about during the show.

As one of the sports leading commentators, he’s been around the speedway industry for years and has some incredible stories to share. Stu also runs his own podcast called Chatting with Stu Rat, but today it’s Hooly’s turn to have a chat with him. So listen now to hear what Stu has to say on today’s episode, beyond the mic.

S2E25: Chevy Olexienko | Freestyle Entertainer & Dare Devil

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 18:00:00 +0000

On today’s episode we’ve got Chevy Olexienko, Chevy is a FMX rider who traveled all the way from Queensland to be here on the show today. He’s done some extremely cool stunts that some people could only dream of.

Many people are terrified of broken bones. Not Chevy. This future Crusty Demon, is pedal to the metal, launching himself off insane jumps to entertain crowds all over the world.

This is the first time Hooly has spoken to a professional FMX rider. Not only did he get to know Chevy but also got to know about the sport. So buckle up if you are new to two wheels also because you are in for one hell of a ride.

In the studio we were also joined by Chevy’s girlfriend Zoey, who you will hear on the mic from time to time in the background with Brooke. You’ll hear some crazy stories from Chevy, beyond the helmet.

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 19:00:00 +0000

On today’s podcast we’ve got Jimmy Vernon. Beginning his sporting career in the world of motocross, due to injury, Jimmy had to stop competing on two wheels.

He then moved into the Porsche Cup Challenge Series on a tight budget receiving multiple podiums and wins along the way. Shortly after he moved into the Toyota 86 Racing Series, winning a National Championship.

But, it didn't stop there! Listen now to hear Jimmy’s incredible racing career, the ups, the downs and where he is headed in the future. If you’re a passionate motorsports fan who watches all the top championships in Australian Motorsport, then you’ll love Jimmy Vernon’s story, beyond the helmet.

S2Welcome back to Season 2 - The Trailer

Mon, 05 Sep 2022 19:00:00 +0000

SEASON TWO IS COMING!

We are so excited to share with you the trailer for OTCHOOLY Season 2! You will hear a few changes are coming…new studio (Hooly’s very own space), producer (Brooke Krumbeck) and a total overhaul to the show's look and feel.

Now we want to clear some things up because last season a few people got confused with what the show is about, so here we go…

On the Couch with Hooly (OTCHOOLY) is more than just a motorsports podcast. Hooly’s guests are from all sides of the track, eras, and personalities. From guests who have spent their careers chasing the dream, to those who touched in the sport and went on to inspiring journeys, we learn their ‘stories beyond the helmet’.

Now for those who don’t know, be prepared! Hooly does his extensive research and at times knows his guests better than they know themselves. Not one to shy away, Hooly asks the hard questions to help audiences understand the world of motorsports, learn more about the show's guests and really get to the heart of their inspiring stories.

OTCHOOLY Season 2 will be released weekly on Tuesdays to get your week kicked off the right way! The first episode is coming September 13th! You’ll find us on YouTube, Spotify, Apple & Google Podcasts.
