Spice Boys

Published on: 19th May, 2021

This week the guys get right into the wild day they had leading up to sitting down for the pod. RIP Ben’s car. Did you know it’s illegal for CVS employees to hand other employees Zyrtec over the counter? Ben goes through the fan feedback and we all get a lesson on what makes a berry a berry. Ant is the most berry of the bunch and Steve is an avocado. Ben sports his Liverpool goalie jersey in support of him scoring a goal and Steve doesn’t know how big the pitch is. Anthony’s brother Nick brings back some goodies from Mexico and the guys try them out on this week’s Talking Snack (00:12:19). Steve plays Doritos roulette and loses (00:15:26). Ben and Katie plot a spice challenge, the guys talk about setting up a scoville showdown, and Anthony McGregor cuts a promo! Steve’s got a pepper guy that can help the cause. From Fire to Ice: The Carvelanche that ruined Steve’s morning and all his bathroom towels (00:32:20). Shout out indoor plumbing! This weeks entertainment announcements (00:39:40). Legends of the Hidden Temple is casting adults for their reboot and the temple guards may have to keep their hands to themselves. Ben plays Returnal and urges everyone to try it out. Emily Blunt was originally supposed to play Black Widow, but did Gulliver’s Travels instead… Steve watched A Quiet Place with Spanish subtitles cause he’s multicultural like that. Make sure you check your shower heads for cameras in your Airbnb. Shout out, The Rental! Wide World of Sports this week features the new Football Stadium/Night Club being built in Vegas which also takes the cake for Most Unnecessary Thing of the Week (00:51:10). RIP Seattle SuperSonics. Seth Rogen and James Franco breakup. Steve wants to play drums with Bill Burr and Golf with Andrew Santino. Hey, Universe! Help his dreams come true! This weeks Friendly Fire has Steve in the hot seat (01:03:14). Shout out to both Trash Pandas teams (01:12:28).

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.
