Published on: 15th September, 2021

This week the guys get back together after taking some time off for the Labor Day weekend. Here's a recap of what we missed: Kanye West releases Donda, Drake releases Certified Lover Boy, internet goes wild with emoji album cover. Happy Belated Birthday to Michael Keaton, RIP Michael K. Williams, and RIP Norm Macdonald. Thank you for all the laughs, Norm! Steve signs up for two year pro membership to Linktree and avoids litigation with Ben over domain name. We got our first hater in our Instagram comment section!!! Talking Snack (00:15:16). Pumpkin Spice season is upon us and Ben likes a good Pumpkin Spiced Latte. The guys talk about the controversial top 99 snacks of all time list as well as the top 15 sandwiches. Entertainment news (00:38:00). Steve and Anthony review the Bob Ross documentary on Netflix. What We Do in the Shadows is in its third season, but Ben is still in Mets mode. We love a good Gerrit Cole interview. Killer coke in Hollywood! New trailer for The Matrix Resurrections is here! Spider-Man 2 trailer is epic and gives us a look at Venom. With its release date in 2023, Steve has time to procure a PS5. Watch Only Murders in the Building on Hulu. The Boys season three has wrapped production. Hawkeye trailer gives us our Christmas themed Marvel show to get us through the holiday season. Shout out Ted Lasso! Despite the awful finale, the guys are excited about the new Dexter season. SURPRISE MOTHA F#CKA! RIP Doakes! Shout out Bo Burnham with his three Emmy wins!

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

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

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.
