the basement yard is a podcast hosted by two childhood friends, joe santagato and frank alvarez. it’s the only podcast i listen to and very funny. it used to be hosted with a different guy named danny, but frankie replaces him starting episode 253 (“having sex with instruments”), which is where i started.

i got into the podcast after watching silly clips of joey and frankie on their tiktok, so i recommend you start there too (they probably have it on youtube as well?) for a sampler to see if you’ll like it. anyway, this is a list of parts that i found particularly funny and know i’ll want to come back to/show others!
