But we are here to do some podcast and you can find us everywhere you find podcasts. Just put the black out tips in. Leave us five star reviews on Apple podcast. We like to read those on Saturdays. Makes us feel good.

The official weapon of the show is a tada and unofficial sport and bullet ball extreme and we're not alone as you probably seen from the show description, possibly the title. Definitely the show notes.

We have a guest today's guest is standup comedian playwright for hidden fences the color, Erkel TV writer for the marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Abby Elementary and Atlanta on FX. It's Jordan Temple. What's going on, bro?

What's up, are y'all living great.

What's up, you 30 minutes ago, feeling good about it. Yeah, when we were coordinating this, you know, behind the scenes is like, okay, what time you want to start or whatever, you know, we basically tell the guests the earliest we can start and let them pick, right?

And I said, yeah, we can start anywhere from like 10 a.m. R.S.I.D. or whatever and he's on the West Coast. And he's like, oh, yeah, 11 a.m. 8 a.m. I tell him like, okay, on the Sunday. Whoa, this brother is industrious.

We're out of morning. I'm like on the West Coast. I'm like, eight a.m. Okay, brother. I'm gonna be up then. Yeah, I've been over there at the time to change is something else because when we was over there, I was waking up 6 a.m.

My time, which was like 3 a.m. y'all time. And I had to literally force myself to go back to sleep every night because if I didn't, I mean every morning because if I didn't, I would be drained by like, no.

But, um, Jordan, let me ask you this, man. Um, how you get started in this whole like comedy thing? You know, I know your native New Yorker.

Um, and I was listening to some podcast you were on and stuff as a guest. And I know you were talking about how being born in New York.

You're already in the quote, unquote, big city of dreams. But since you live there, it's kind of like.

Uh, you almost forget you can just step outside. You know, I'm saying try to get on those paths. So how, what was your start?

Yeah, I'm well, I'm from Queens, you know, like out of borrow kind of feel has more. I think more, um, groundedness more energy, you know, um, places, you know, when people come to New York, they fly in to Queens.

They don't even know they're there. You know, saying, like, oh, this feels far from where I want to be.

They never stays the best kept secret. We like, all right, cool, cool. You're gonna find out, you know what I'm saying?

We're not just airports and the mess, you know, even though, yeah, this is a bunch of stuff people feel like it's like be rated.

Besides where it's like, it's kind of the best kept secret. So yeah, it's, um, you know, I love this being from, from, uh, Queens and, you know, out of burrows kind of gave me the energy of like, just trying to not have, uh, just like a city.

It's like city mentality. It's like a small town in a big town, even though like, means the burrow itself is bigger than most cities.

And then, so being from Queens and what, I know New York has like, you know, probably the number one place for stand up and stuff.
