Whatchamacallit

Published on: 24th March, 2021

The guys are back with more tangents! Steve highlights the comments left on last weeks Friendly Fire segment. Facebook will undoubtedly remind him of this post for the foreseeable future. Ant was finally invited to a group chat! This week in the food aisle (00:10:06) the guys talk about candy going on a diet so people don’t have to. Anthony hates Kit Kat’s and hopes they get so thin they disappear. Oreo and Drakes Cakes team up while the guys discuss the best candy bars. What is nougat? Twix! The only candy with the cookie crunch! Pay Day’s hold a special place in Steve’s heart. Dip that sumbich in chocolate and you got a Baby Ruth/Nutrageous. Nothing fun about small Snickers. The guys play F-Marry-Kill (00:18:46) with candy bars and we get a little too much information in the process. RIP Butterfinger. No love for M&M’s and make sure you pronounce Reese’s Pieces correctly if you’re around Ben. Steve’s true alliance lies with the chocolate and peanut butter titan... Now let’s talk about candy that makes you GLEEK. Starburst’s or Skittles? Shout out Taste Buds! Ant likes Sal and Joe equally. Steve goes from strawberry lemonade Twizzlers to soft Australian licorice, cause he’s grown now. Watermelon Sour Patch kids are the best there is. The best there was. And the best there ever will be...when it comes to fruity candy. Ant realizes him and Joey D are one in the same. Taco Bell brings back the quesalupa. Easy on the pepper, KFC! Shout out to the am radio station that broadcasts from Steve’s living room power outlet. Tangents Galore to the rescue! McDonald’s brings back Big Tasty! Steve tells us how he feels about red onions. Shout out food stylists! Helloooooo Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry! Snapple is not made from the best stuff on earth. The guys get thrown out of the food aisle for loitering. Pop-ups of Toys R Us are...popping up and breathing new life into the company’s chances of making a comeback. All of Ben’s TMNT toys magically disappear one day and had nothing to do with his parents cleaning out junk from the house...RIP childhood toys. Celtic Pride from 1996 scores a 9% vomit on the tomatometer. Eddie is one of the only movies to feature the New York Knicks and audiences hated it because of that. Guys go on low scoring rotten tomatoes tangent and Ant checks Steve on Damon Wayans which Jennifer garners a heartfelt apology. 

The Snyder Cut Justice League review (00:51:53) “If it ain’t dialogue, it’s slo-mo” ...and you guessed it! DC related tangents galore! 

Friendly Fire #3 (01:22:50)

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!!!

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.
