Career
Alvarez began his media career by hosting the SCJ Podcast, which focused on professional wrestling commentary and analysis. He later co-hosted the pop culture podcast The Stank (2019–2020), where he reviewed movies, television, and music. Alongside his podcasting work, Alvarez developed a presence on YouTube, appearing in sketch comedy videos and reaction content, and gradually building an online following.
Alvarez co-hosts a weekly podcast called The Basement Yard with his childhood friend, Joe Santagato. Santagato has hosted the podcast since 2015, and Alvarez joined him in 2020. The podcast has 1.08 million subscribers on Youtube as of July 2025. The podcast embarked on its first live tour in 2024, featuring sold-out performances across the United States, including two shows at New York City's Radio City Music Hall. The overwhelming demand prompted the addition of a second show at that venue.
In 2025, the show launched its second live tour, titled The Basement Yard Experience, with a scheduled run of 18 stops across North America. The tour included multiple dates in major cities such as Toronto, Chicago, and Las Vegas[2] , further cementing the podcast's popularity as a live entertainment act.
