Brett Goldsteinis teaching a very valuable lesson during his visit toSesame Street.
In a video shared withEntertainment Weeklyon Thursday, the 41-year-oldTed Lassostar broke down the Word of the Day withSesame Street’s Tamir.
“Today’s word begins with the letter F,” Tamir announces to the camera.
“Oh, I love the letter F,” responds Goldstein, whoseTed Lassocharacter Roy Kent takes a liking tothatf-word.
Though viewers may expect to hear a curse word, Tamir soon puts any suspicions to rest when he exclaims, “Today’s word is… Fairness!”
Tamir is quick to respond, offering a fitting answer to theTed Lassostar: “When we play soccer later, we can make sure everyone gets a turn and invite others to play with us.”

But that friendly banter soon turns into a competitive conversation about who is the best soccer player — and Cookie Monster refuses to back down.
“Oh really?” Goldstein quips back. “Well, let’s see your footwork.”
After Cookie Monster demonstrates his top foot skills — including one kick that sends a sponge right into Goldstein’s head — theTed Lassoactor decides theSesame Streetcharacter is worthy of the captain position.
“Pretty good,” Goldstein says. “Alright, fair enough, you’re the captain.”
