The boys are horribly out of form but manage to synchronise calendars for the first time in a while to record another episode. Thanks to the listeners for your patience. Kooly's greeting is guessed by Jimmy and leads to a conversation about temples, pyramids and conspiracy theories (aliens?). Jimmy is experiencing an unprecedented heatwave in the UK, Boris is no longer the PM and the Martin family has attended a couple of concerts at Wembley Stadium. Kooly's planned Noosa trip was interrupted by a positive covid test so he travelled separately from his family, experiencing a few plane cancellations which resulted in having to celebrate his birthday a day late. A-league and Premier League soccer results are discussed (Fulham is back up!) as well as crowd/fan segregation and the neutral (neutered?) zone. Tommy and fam are preparing for his return to Australia which is bittersweet after 4 1/2 years in New York. What Gets Tommy's Goat this week revolves around finding which tv channel (or streaming service) the Yankees are playing on each night. Kooly's From the Archives recalls a camping trip with his school at Wilson's Promontory involving a nosey wombat. Congrats to Lleyton Hewitt being inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Jimmy finishes the podcast by indulging the listeners in another backyard fauna update.Note: this episode was recorded on July 16th 2022.  Opening and Closing music by Jessica Lorraine (https://www.jessicalorrainemusic.com) Artwork/Logo thanks to Hannah Lorraine. Disclaimer: We are not legal, financial, political, medical or crytocurrency experts so please consult with trained professionals. www.noodlesinacupboard.com Facebook: @NoodlesInACupboard Twitter: @Noodlesinacupb1 

In this week's episode Kooly's greeting takes a while for Jimmy to guess and turns out to be a common Indo-European language and not as obscure as expected. Jimmy laments his heartbreaking lost opportunity to watch his beloved Fulham live in the stadium for nearly 2 years thanks to a late scheduling change from saturday to friday. Kooly drops off mid-recording due to an unexpected computer virus update - how appropriate! The Ashes cricket tour is raised by Tommy and discussed - Australia definitely looking the favourites early on. A fact check on major league sports (thanks Mauls) turns into a mini quiz and it is confirmed by Jimmy that there were some teams in the past 20 years to win back to back championships as previously thought hadn't happened. Tommy is excited about his upcoming Buffalo road trip to see Bills v New York Jets in the final round of the NFL regular season. Jimmy is booked in for his Booster shot and Tommy already got his a few weeks earlier in an aptly named part of Queens. The upcoming Major League Soccer final between NYCFC and Portland is a hot topic. Jimmy has to leave early for his daughters Drama showcase and Kooly manages to reconnect just in time for the closing jingle. No WGTG or FTA this week but hopefully back very soon. Note: this episode was recorded on December 11th 2021.  Opening and Closing music by Jessica Lorraine (https://www.jessicalorrainemusic.com) Artwork/Logo thanks to Hannah Lorraine. Disclaimer: We are not legal, financial, political, medical or crytocurrency experts so please consult with trained professionals. www.noodlesinacupboard.com Facebook: @NoodlesInACupboard Twitter: @Noodlesinacupb1 

Boys manage to record two podcasts back to back for a change and it starts off with a clever greeting by Kooly. This leads to a conversation about Auslan and also celebrity dancing reality tv shows. Controversy in the MLB see the Dodgers advance and the Giants knocked out of the post season. NFL season is in full swing, Tommy's Buffalo Bills are looking good and there's even been some games played in Jimmy's neck of the woods at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.The Caulfield Cup and Everest have just been run. Melbourne is back to school in seat but not with some hiccups for Kooly. News reports advise of a liquor shortage due to all the glass being used for vaccine vials. Petrol prices are high, Tommy sees a family of deer literally on his doorstep and Kooly's FTA recalls his 2005 Contiki tour shenanigans. Note: this episode was recorded on October 16th 2021.  Opening and Closing music by Jessica Lorraine (https://www.jessicalorrainemusic.com) Artwork/Logo thanks to Hannah Lorraine. Disclaimer: We are not legal, financial, political, medical or crytocurrency experts so please consult with trained professionals. www.noodlesinacupboard.com Facebook: @NoodlesInACupboard Twitter: @Noodlesinacupb1 

After a bit of a break, the boys are back and firing on all cylinders. Kooly's greeting is a stumper but with a few clues is finally guessed by Jimmy and this triggers a conversation about JRR Tolkein (with several Melbourne Demons themesong interruptions which seem to have been 'Jimmied' into the episode). Then we hear an update about Kooly's chooks and his recently oiled deck (Jimmy reminds us of a great related Youtube clip worth watching when you have time: https://youtu.be/tbazGVrbN-g ). His ankle is almost back to normal so Zoom karate has resumed and term three has just begun with in-class tuition back after a protracted lockdown/virtual experience. Melbourne having now set the record for the most days in lockdown globally also experienced an Earthquake just to make sure noone dropped their guard. Jimmy is still on cloud nine after Melbourne's first AFL grand final in 57 years and somehow located an old jersey which he's trying to determine the value of. There is mention of Degrassi Junior High and also some US Tennis Open anecdotes as well as a brief Olympics review, given so may sporting events since the previous podcast recording in July. Kooly describes his school's "battle of the bands" submission and we hope to share video of this via our socials very soon. Tommy discusses some interesting weather events in New York and in the "What gets Tommy's Goat?" segment, he unloads on New York restaurant Toilet signs for employees. Bronx bombers (ie NY Yankees) get a mention and also the fact that Tommy is about to venture into the Bronx for a Cross Country meet for his eldest boy at Van Cortlandt Park (where they also play social cricket incidentally). Kooly's FTA is another Stawell teenage tale which is etched in the memory of those who witnessed. Note: this episode was recorded on October 9th 2021.  Opening and Closing music by Jessica Lorraine (https://www.jessicalorrainemusic.com) Artwork/Logo thanks to Hannah Lorraine. Disclaimer: We are not legal, financial, political, medical or crytocurrency experts so please consult with trained professionals. www.noodlesinacupboard.com Facebook: @NoodlesInACupboard Twitter: @Noodlesinacupb1 

In this episode, we learn Tommy is in Florida on vacation while Kooly tells us about his Noosa holiday including a snap lockdown which interrupted and extended his stay. Jimmy is only online for about 10 mins due to other engagements but adds his usual quick wit and polished execution. Kooly's chooks finally started laying eggs, he mentions his karate injury and A-League final result. Tommy's home alarm goes off not once but twice while he is away which elicits some excitement. The FTA is co-led by Tommy and Kooly this week and recalls a 1995 New Years concert/camping in Halls Gap. Brief NHL, MLB and AFL updates are shared.  Note: this episode was recorded on July 10th 2021.  Opening and Closing music by Jessica Lorraine (https://www.jessicalorrainemusic.com) Artwork/Logo thanks to Hannah Lorraine. Disclaimer: We are not legal, financial, political or medical experts so please consult with trained professionals. www.noodlesinacupboard.com Facebook: @NoodlesInACupboard Twitter: @Noodlesinacupb1 

In this weeks episode, the Greeting is guessed again relatively quickly, being the 4th most spoken language globally. The fedora hat that Kooly is wearing is not just by coincidence, he's supporting a local restaurant and trying his best to spice up Saturday night dinner at home during Melbourne lockdown. The hat itself prompts discussion about hipsters which leads on to long beards and bushrangers as you'd expect. Jimmy's son could be on the road to 'hipster-dom' given his unique breakfast request. In New York it's Belmont Stakes day and although Tommy won't be attending in person, the weather is glorious so he intends on spending plenty of time in the pool and watching the races on TV instead. The boys have a conversation about some interesting advice for those attending the AFL in Adelaide and how they should duck and try to avoid contact with the football given the latest covid outbreak. Champions league soccer result gets a mention which also coincided with Memorial Day weekend for Tommy. Kooly is booked for his vaccine shot and Tommy's WGTG involves his landscapers once again! Jimmy had to leave early so no quiz, and Kooly's FTA recalls a memorable incident at the Glenferrie hotel after a good run on the pool table was ended prematurely when pouring one's own beers was frowned upon.Editing gremlins are still making Kooly sound a second or two ahead (when traditionally he is a few sentences behind in most conversations - known as "doing a kooly"), so bear with us while we try and fix!Note: this episode was recorded on June 5th 2021.  Opening and Closing music by Jessica Lorraine (https://www.jessicalorrainemusic.com) Artwork/Logo thanks to Hannah Lorraine. Disclaimer: We are not legal, financial, political or medical experts so please consult with trained professionals. www.noodlesinacupboard.com Facebook: @NoodlesInACupboard Twitter: @Noodlesinacupb1 

In this weeks episode, Kooly's greeting leads onto a conversation about the Dalai Lama, and speaking of exile, Kooly is back in lockdown in Melbourne due to another covid "outbreak". The vaccine is now open to 40+ in Australia and in the UK Jimmy is looking forward to "unlockdown" which is scheduled for June 21 all things going to plan. Conspiracy theories relating to the original source of the virus are discussed. Jimmy's quiz gets its theme from the hosting city of this years UEFA Champions League final. Tommy's WGTG relates to digital/online form submissions and Kooly's FTA harks back to an evening shopping trolley/cart incident in Balwyn.Note: this episode was recorded on May 29th 2021.  Opening and Closing music by Jessica Lorraine (https://www.jessicalorrainemusic.com) Artwork/Logo thanks to Hannah Lorraine. Disclaimer: We are not legal, financial, political or medical experts so please consult with trained professionals. www.noodlesinacupboard.com Facebook: @NoodlesInACupboard Twitter: @Noodlesinacupb1 

This week, Kooly's greeting is easily guessed by Jimmy and leads onto a conversation about Algeria, soccer and Ramadan. Man City has finished the season top of the premier league soccer table and Melb City also will finish top and earn the "Premier's Plate" in the A-League. The global "City" franchise is discussed and we learn there are more teams than one might have guessed, on several continents. Jimmy's Melbourne Demons are also doing well in the AFL but just suffered their first loss prior to the recording of this podcast. Tommy is heading to his first Yankees game since 2019 on Tuesday against the Bluejays and has been informed he's now located in a vaccinated only section which complicates his plans due to a mate who's not yet had the jab. 12-15 year olds can now get vaccinated in New York so Tommy's boys are booked in. Jimmy informs us that the UK has opened up some travel and there are 12 international destinations now on the "green" list, but not all are your typical tourist hot spots. Tommy shares his road trip to the Preakness Stakes in Baltimore, Maryland and ticks off another couple of US states visited. Jimmy hosts the Eurovision 2021 (London calling) Quiz which is almost a nil-all draw. What Gets Tommy's Goat is poultry related and Kooly's FTA starts off as multiple choice before he decides actually he'd rather choose the toilet story.  Note: this episode was recorded on May 22nd 2021.  Opening and Closing music by Jessica Lorraine (https://www.jessicalorrainemusic.com) Artwork/Logo thanks to Hannah Lorraine. Disclaimer: We are not legal, financial, political or medical experts so please consult with trained professionals. www.noodlesinacupboard.com Facebook: @NoodlesInACupboard Twitter: @Noodlesinacupb1 

Kooly's greeting should have been easier to guess as it was mentioned in last week's episode but both Jimmy and Tommy are slow off the mark today. This leads onto a discussion about Philip of Macedon and his son Alexander the Great. Tommy is opening his pool for the season and also got his first Covid Vaccine shot. Kooly has been at a play centre called "Chipmunks" and also bought some new chickens from Nar Nar Goon to replace one who'd laid its last egg. A Mammoth Ass is discussed as one was recently imported to Australia from the USA. The boys' favorite "Big" Tourist attractions in Australia  are covered. It's ANZAC weekend in Australia/New Zealand and the big Essendon v Collingwood clash is going ahead with 85% capacity at the MCG. What gets Tommy's Goat is about (overly) thorough landscapers. Jimmy's Quiz (JQ) centres on some recent sporting controversy and Kooly's From the Archives is about a family trip to QLD circa late 80s which also caused some controversy.Note: this episode was recorded on Apr 24th 2021.  Opening and Closing music by Jessica Lorraine (https://www.jessicalorrainemusic.com) Artwork/Logo thanks to Hannah Lorraine. Disclaimer: We are not legal, financial, political or medical experts so please consult with trained professionals. www.noodlesinacupboard.com Facebook: @NoodlesInACupboard Twitter: @Noodlesinacupb1 

Back to back podcasts for two weeks in a row - the boys are back in business. Kooly's greeting is not in a modern language and Tommy prevails for a change with the correct guess. UK restrictions are easing as part of Boris' "cautious but irreversible" plan, allowing (amongst other things) haircuts and beers out so Jimmy is eagerly awaiting his next mop chop. Also, childrens' activities like swimming and drama are back on the cards meaning a tight deadline to this week's recording. Prince Philip's funeral is discussed and there are no exemptions for the royal family with a maximum 30 allowed in attendance - Jimmy graciously allows Harry to take his invite. Kooly updates us on his karate grading from the week before. The vaccine rollout is in full swing in the USA with Tommy's wife already receiving the J&J jab a couple of days before they "pause" it due to some adverse side effects reported. In the UK Jimmy will also be eligible imminently. What gets Tommy's Goat is focused on Pharmacy receipts, Jimmy's quiz is MLS (Major League Soccer) centric and Kooly's From the Archives recaps a much requested West Highland Way adventure he undertook with Jimmy sevral years ago.Note: this episode was recorded on Apr 17th 2021.  Opening and Closing music by Jessica Lorraine (https://www.jessicalorrainemusic.com) Artwork/Logo thanks to Hannah Lorraine. Disclaimer: We are not legal, financial, political or medical experts so please consult with trained professionals. www.noodlesinacupboard.com Facebook: @NoodlesInACupboard Twitter: @Noodlesinacupb1 

The boys are back after finding it difficult to connect in the past three months due to daylight saving time or lack there of. Kooly's greeting spawns a conversation about the upcoming Olympic Games. On the topic of competitive athletics, the Stawell Gift is discussed and the Easter weekend there generally. Hard to not remember Cathy Freeman's amazing 400m cameo (1996 Stawell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUQLV4gnWNY). Even harder to forget Matt "Lunchbox" Shirvington (or Shirvo) so Jimmy makes sure to inject some references throughout the podcast. Kooly, having been motivated by Chuck Norris, is learning Karate with his boy and has a grading next week so be sure to tune in for the result. Vaccine is rolling out and Tommy is booked in for April 20th. Jimmy, who's lockdown long hair needs a trim is trying to get an appointment with his barber as some UK restrictions are easing. Jimmy's baseball quiz is won by Tommy or was it more that Kooly lost it? From the archives is a more recent karate experience. Note: this episode was recorded on Apr 10th 2021.  Opening and Closing music by Jessica Lorraine (https://www.jessicalorrainemusic.com) Artwork/Logo thanks to Hannah Lorraine. Disclaimer: We are not legal, financial, political or medical experts so please consult with trained professionals. www.noodlesinacupboard.com Facebook: @NoodlesInACupboard Twitter: @Noodlesinacupb1 

The boys are back after a brief hiatus. Christmas carols have been on the radio since early November, Kooly's greeting is Scandinavian ... or is it? Snow in the UK Christmas Day, snow melted in the US thanks to rain on the eve. Tommy's side hustle clearing snow gets a mention. Kooly goes back to the farm for Christmas. Crops are good. Tommy goes ice skating at Rockefeller Plaza and gets a hit of golf in December - who would have thunk! Jimmy contends with UK lockdown, Premier League has covid interruptions. Chuck Norris jokes are shared, covid tests are discussed. WGTG is about people who leave a mouthful in their drink. Mulled wine recipes on offer for the listeners.

Delirium is running high this week as your hosts bring you breaking news on the US Election which has everyone on tenterhooks.

This week's episode was recorded on the day of Halloween and so not surprisingly that theme permeates throughout. Jimmy was otherwise unavailable so Elise dropped by to help out and give her unique spin on things. Kooly's greeting tested Tommy's memory and once the language was revealed, a discussion on Egyptian history ensued. Some previous social tennis encounters came up in conversation including covid etiquette while on the court. MLB update centred on the recent success of Los Angeles in multiple sports leagues and we also heard about the 2020 AFL & NRL grand finals back in Oz.

In this week’s episode, Kooly’s greeting leads onto a discussion about Slavic history and Tommy’s Mediterranean catamaran cruise of 2019. Steven Seagal is referenced and this prompts a Chuck Norris Segway. And Who would win a fight between Seagal, Norris, The Rock and Jackie Chan anyway?

We learned a solar powered robot struggles when the weather is overcast and Jimmy finds a reason to play The Scorpions again.

Due to some technical glitches, the first episode of our second season gets off to an interesting start with a bot filling in for Jimmy during the first 10 minutes in an attempt to make his jokes even funnier.
