Joe Santagato· Host0:00

Welcome back to the ba- [upbeat music] Welcome back to the Basement Yard. Frank, your first Hawaiian of the year, I think.

Frank Alvarez· Host0:11

Literally not. I think I've worn other ones.

Joe Santagato· Host0:13

Ah, not paying attention.

Frank Alvarez· Host0:15

Yeah, it's all right. It's me, Frank Alvarez, here with Ant, Ant Prisco, how are you? And Cookie Monster.

Joe Santagato· Host0:20

Oh. I was like- Come on ... I thought you were calling him Cookie Monster.

Frank Alvarez· Host0:24

You have... No. That would be you.

Joe Santagato· Host0:26

'Cause I'm wearing the color blue.

Frank Alvarez· Host0:27

Fucking Big Blue. You're Blue Abadeabadi.

Joe Santagato· Host0:30

I'm just wearing a blue sweater, you bastard.

Frank Alvarez· Host0:32

It's very- And the blue hat ... it's very blue.

Joe Santagato· Host0:34

You're wearing a matching hat as well.

Frank Alvarez· Host0:36

Yeah, but first of all, if we're getting specific, you're not matching, if you really wanna do it.

Joe Santagato· Host0:41

It's called different tones.

Frank Alvarez· Host0:42

I don't care.

Joe Santagato· Host0:45

Okay.

Frank Alvarez· Host0:46

It doesn't, it doesn't adhere to what I believe matching is.

Joe Santagato· Host0:49

Correct.

Anthony Prisco· Panelist0:50

Mm.

Frank Alvarez· Host0:50

So it doesn't, it's not real.

Joe Santagato· Host0:51

Correct.

Frank Alvarez· Host0:52

But I am matching quite nicely. And Ant said- Oh, it's 'cause I compliment the two of you ... Ant said, right before we started recording, he looked at me and he goes, "Very aesthetically pleasing outfit you're wearing."

Joe Santagato· Host1:02

Nice.

Frank Alvarez· Host1:02

Yeah, it was nice. You're a Cookie Monster.

Anthony Prisco· Panelist1:06

[laughs] So, okay.

Frank Alvarez· Host1:09

When you get a compliment- What's wrong with being Cookie Monster? When you get a- He's a great member of the Sesame Street gang ... 'cause you're trying to make fun of me- Yeah ... let's get that out of the way, too.

Joe Santagato· Host1:17

I'm not, I'm trying to acknowledge that you are- Ant gives you a compliment, and instead of paying that forward, the good energy- [laughs] ...

Frank Alvarez· Host1:22

you're like, "I'm gonna take a big, steamy- Mm ... corny poop on Joe's head" See, why did you do that?

Joe Santagato· Host1:29

You knew
