Welcome back to the base- Welcome back to the basement yard. There he is. There I am. What are you doing? Do I do this? Is this the cool thing? What is that hat? The New Era logo.
Frank Alvarez 0:17
You got a hat of a hat company? Hat?
Joe Santagato 0:19
Yeah. Yes, I did. Team hat. I mean, to be honest, it was free. They sent it to me.
Antoine 0:24
But I do like it. It's like a British one.
Joe Santagato 0:26
I thought it was like New England for a second.
Antoine 0:28
It's like a British thing.
Joe Santagato 0:30
What's British?
Antoine 0:31
The hat? I'm not even really that quite sure. Shetland.
Joe Santagato 0:36
What's that? Was that a curse? It sounded like a slur. It sounds like a slur. For someone Scottish. Where the fuck are you from? Shetland? Yeah. You fucking crock. I don't know. I'm still learning. And then it says moon. So this could be from many places. Yeah. But it does say woven in England. So that's cool. I like it. It's gold. Don't look at me. I'm not asking you about your hat. I know what it is. I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything. Can I ask, how many Yankee hats in different colors do you have? Four. What are the colors? So brown, blue. Brown, black, blue, and I have a beige one. wow that's a good that's i mean just commit now and make the only hat that you wear i mean it's it's a it's i think the best hat i agree you're from there so you you know you got to take advantage when you can i remember when uh uh remember the song empire state of mind jay-z alicia keys why did you say her name like that alicia keys alicia alicia alicia okay sure
Joe Santagato 1:37
Sorry, the word police are out today. Alicia. The syntax grammar police are out today. I forgot about that. But in the song, he says, like, I made a Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can. Yeah. When that song came out. First of all, that song came out when the Yankees won the World Series. Impeccable timing. Do you think that's true? No. And when that song came out as a 17-year-old, I would actively, during that part of the song, I'd say, like, no, he didn't. You would do that. He would boycott and probably just be like, I made a... And then come back in.

What does the hat symbolize in their conversation?

Joe Santagato 2:14
And change the lyrics up myself. I don't agree with that. I think that there was decades of Yankees greats before... Maybe he did bring it to hip-hop and the culture of wearing... I don't know. Did he have that hat on the cover of an album? Was that... Like, is that a Yankee hat, or is it just the black album?
Frank Alvarez 2:34
Yeah.
Joe Santagato 2:34
Isn't that an all-black hat? I don't think that he's worn a hat that isn't a Yankee hat, so it could be. Back then. I mean, I would hope that he commits to the fit. I know that he's, like, the black album's like him. It's probably a Yankee hat. I don't remember. It's a great album, too. That was the last album from Jay-Z that I had. The black album? Yeah. It's a good one. Oh, wait, was the Blueprint after that? The Blueprint 3. Yeah, I can't remember the... Remember dates of albums, Joey. I can't. Me and dates are so... We're bad.
Frank Alvarez 3:00
We're bad. I can't have dates.
Joe Santagato 3:01
You're our rap correspondent. I can't.
Frank Alvarez 3:03
I can't.
Joe Santagato 3:03
You need to know this.
Frank Alvarez 3:04
I don't know dates. I don't know anything.
Joe Santagato 3:06
So, oh, we're all wearing hats today. This is Big Hat Day. Big Hat Day. We know your hat. You don't need to fucking tell us about it.
Say it.
Joe Santagato 3:13
Keep bringing up your hat, dude. Enough with your hat. We get your hat. We get it and stop talking about it into the microphone so loudly. All you like to do is just keep it going. Talk about your hat. Take the hint, baby. By the way, the other day I realized on my Wikipedia, it says that I am featured in Santa Gata Studios and the Picky Boys. Did you do that?
No, I didn't.
Joe Santagato 3:38
Because literally in my Wikipedia, it says that I'm featured in the picky boy. Oh, that's so funny that you bring that up. First of all, good. I mean, you know, give him a little something. I didn't give him anything. I was wondering if he was like... Oh, well, I mean, he definitely... It's also locked, so no one can change it. If it's you that's doing this, fuck you. Because someone sent me a screenshot of like, what's the Google AI assistant, Gemini?
Unknown 4:03
Yeah.
Joe Santagato 4:03
And it was like, you know how you like Google a question and it'll be like, Gemini gave you an auto answer.
