Real people, authentic recommendations.
June 1st, 2022 | RAMBULL | Tommy Noonan
Rambull Newsletter - I talk to interesting people and ask them for their favorite recommendations. A great way to learn about new people and to discover new products, shows, apps, podcasts, and more.
Road Trip Snacks - It’s summer time and yes, even with crazy high gas prices, you are about to hit the road. Similar to wines and hot sauces, respond with your favorite road trip snacks. I’ll share the list back next week which I am sure will have some standard crowd pleasers (Cool Ranch Doritos, Flaming Hot Cheetos) and maybe even a few hidden gems (V8 Juice*).
*Slightly psychotic, I know…but gotta get those veggies on the road
Let’s dive in…

Why I wanted to profile Tommy:
Tommy was one of my first friends in college. I reluctantly learned to forgive him for his Atlanta sports allegiances and his refusal to join a literary society. He successfully navigated the engineering school at UVA, which is considered the toughest route for an undergrad (if you wisely ignore propaganda from the comm schoolers).
In the past few I’ve gone to Tommy for advice on business school (he graduated from MIT Solan), perspective on start-ups, and recently, for new Dad advice. I’m very jealous he and his family have settled back in Charlottesville. Remote work for the win!

📺 Stream
Bang for Your Buck | TV Show on Discovery+
Renovating a house for the first time right now. This series on Discovery+ looks at three homeowners an episode and then grades their renovations on resale value. Been hooked on it as I am in tile/countertop/paint hell.
🛒 Purchase
Not a huge fan of canned cocktails but these are awesome. Not too sweet. They serve these on Delta flights (if you ever score that coveted economy comfort upgrade), but I have ordered them online through the site. Every time I travel or golf, I throw some of these in my bag. Margarita is good too.
📞 Download
Given that nearly every recommendation I made on here is food related, it felt right to throw this in for some balance. I've struggled with weight control and eating healthy my whole life. This app is great at nudging you into healthier food choices, exercise, and encouraging you not to give up when you have a slip up (i.e. brisket day)
💪 Incorporate
Baking Bread
I picked this up at the start of the pandemic (who didn't, right?), but I am still going strong. Aside from just really enjoying fresh bread for sandwiches, toast, etc... it gives me something to do at night after the one year old goes to bed. I'm no Paul Hollywood, but I can knock out some pretty good bakes.
📝 Consume
@Grillin_With_Dad | Instagram Account
I cook on the big green egg 3-4 times a week. This handle is great at showing you how to take something you are used to cooking (like hamburgers) and dial it up to 11 with just a couple small tweaks.
🥉 Honorable Mention
Follow on from Grillin_With_Dad. I got this for Christmas and love it. I use it more on roasted vegetables than anything, but obviously they are all great on chicken, burgers, etc…
Programming 📆
I am working on website updates. Let me know what you think of the landing page!
Last Week: Farmer Peanut
My Rambull - what I’ve been recently rambling about…...
Exit Scam | Podcast, 8 Episode Series
If you are rooting against Crypto and love a good mystery thriller, you will not be disappointed. This story is WILD!
Perfect if you’ve got a summer trip planned and need something for a long car trip. Its 8 total episodes, with around a 4 hour total listen time.
