Episode 85

Pumpkin Spice Paqui

Published on: 21st September, 2022

This week the guys talk about Steve and Ben's golf outing with cousin Robbie. Thankfully Ben is a way better podcast host than he is a golfer. Cousin Seanimal writes in with some concerns over Anthony and Steve's garbage takes lately and sets the record straight on what he believes are the best cover songs of all time. Eric "The Jerk" Clapton and George "Everyones Favorite Beatle" Harrison pull off a successful wife swap. We get a NYFRANK Sports Minute and that sparks the MVP conversation with Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani (00:20:30). Anthony surprises the guys with 2022's Paqui One Chip Challenge in this week's Talking Snack (00:35:23). Ben and Aya check out the pizza and calzones at the Brooklyn staple, Lucali and head south of the border for Michelin star mexican cuisine at Oxomoco (00:51:05). Ben gets his wings! Steve's mustache is here to stay and Ben and Anthony review their facial hair choices through the years (01:02:10). Chef A-Bone whips up some homemade pretzels and Ben's family cookies make their rounds outside of the family. On the entertainment side of things, Severance wins two Emmys in categories that have nothing to do with the actual show.

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.

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.
