I have a new favorite comedian. Her name is Robbie Hoffman. She talks like my Jewish

0:16.8

grandparents. But she looks very norm-core lesbian. Big round glasses, black t-shirts and

0:27.0

jeans. She has this bit I'm obsessed with. It's about birth order. You know, like, do we

0:31.8

have any firstborns here? Such leaders here in the audience. Thank you. When she tells

0:37.0

us one, all the firstborns get really into it. I think if you'll say for knowing you're

0:41.2

here honestly, I do. Do you have any middles and then all the middle kids just seem happy

0:51.5

yet to read about qualities and characteristics associated with being seventhborn. Am I

funny, too opinionated, too competitive, too queer. Maybe with sevens, fitting in will come

easy.

Robbie came up with her sevens joke when she was in high school. Back then, her friends

2:15.2

were all talking about having middle kids syndrome or what they got away with because

2:19.3

they were the baby of the family. But Robbie, who's from this huge family, had never stopped

2:24.1

to count. I went down the list of my family. I'm like, okay, he's number one, two, three,
