Cookie Monsters

Published on: 7th April, 2021

This week Anthony rejoins Steve and Ben and the unofficial holy trinity is back together. Baby Parker is already a big fan of the show! Ben is a bad Catholic and ate meat on Good Friday. Steve has Chilean sea bass for the first time and apologizes for anti-gluten free remarks. This week on Talking Snack (00:05:21) the guys discuss cookies! My Cookie Dealer kicks things off which leads down old tangent road and highlights some of the best cookie destinations they have found so far. We see you Levain Bakery! Don’t sleep on Panera’s baked goods. Shout out all the Mom’s pumping out the best cookies from day one, and shout out all the people listening that got hit trying to eat the cookie dough before it made it to the oven. Alpha Brain sends Steve the Delta version by mistake. If you don’t smuggle candy into the movies you’re not doing it right. Put the Goobers in the popcorn. Arizona brand Arnold Palmer half and half fruit snacks and the quest to find them. Ben overdoses on raspberry iced tea, Steve wonders what’s the hack to peeling hard boiled eggs, and Ant can’t peel oranges. The B.E.S.C. breakfast sandwich (Bacon Egg Salad and Cheese). Cooking eggs; let me count the ways. Steve’s got a bone to pick with sloppy yokes. Anthony’s Umami moment. Ay-Yo-Lee! Shout out all Dennis’s! Where have all the hot dog trucks gone? Steve doesn’t hate all onions and Ben has all the cheesesteaks in Philly. If you’re not watching Snowfall on FX you’re missing out. The Last Blockbuster review (00:39:02). New Rick and Morty coming soon! Thank you, Jeremy Piven for giving us so much gold! Steve’s favorite author George R.R. Martin has three more spin-offs in the works and Ben is losing hope on him ever finishing the books. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode three breakdown and theories (00:53:47). The Award for Most Unnecessary Thing of the Week goes to... Buff Baby Yoda (01:08:50). The Walking Dead episode six season finale: Here’s Negan! (01:12:20).

About the Podcast

Unofficial Intelligence
Internet news, pop-culture, and the quest to find the nuggets of truth you didn't know you needed.
Welcome to Unofficial Intelligence!

My name is Steve and each week my friends Ben and Anthony come by so that I can justify having more than one couch in my living room. We talk about the things that matter most in life, like who just got cast for a show based on a video game or why it’s better to order unsalted fries from McDonald's. Point is we hope all the random things we’ve learned through bizarre personal experiences or late night YouTube worm holes can help you in some way. Who knows maybe it’ll even give you something to talk about at parties whenever that’s a thing you can do again. We hope you enjoy our ramblings while you’re doing whatever it is that you’re doing. Honk twice if you’re in traffic! Let us hype you up while you bust out that last super set! You got it! Push! Believe!!!

About your hosts

Steve Ciccone

Profile picture for Steve Ciccone
Steve is one third of the bizarre comedy minds behind Unofficial Intelligence. He spent the last decade of his life living in sunny Los Angeles and is back to enduring actual weather again in New York. When he's not nerding out over fan theories about grown men and women in tights and capes, he's enjoying a nice single origin coffee. Once upon a time a gigging drummer with his SoCal reggae band and now a podcaster. Next thing you know he may try stand-up comedy and really make his parents proud.

Ben Armato

Greatest accomplishments include: Platinum Trophies on Skyrim and Kingdom Hearts III, ruining a good 10 years of his life with student loan repayments, and being a go-to for fast food knowledge.

Loves spicy food and will make you try it by saying “it’s not that bad” just to get your reaction.

Avid New York Mets and Liverpool FC fan.
