Kings Network.
She's very busy. We're happy to have her time. Robbie Hoffman is on Hacks, Rooster, HBO. She's got her own special, Robbie Hoffman Wake Up. Everyone says that one is must watch. She's got a podcast, Too Far with Robbie Hoffman. It seems like all of this is too much. You've got too much going on. All your dreams are coming true. It seems like too much.
Not too much at all. I'm not having kids. This is what I do. this is how I toil. Whether you knew the credits or not, I'd still be doing those things. Whether it was fruitful or not, it's kind of what I do, poor or rich or anything, because I just committed to doing it. It's fantastic that you know of all those things now. Obviously, it's a much better way for it working out. But I think either way, I would have been doing a lot. And in some cases, I argue, when you're not You're doing a lot more before people know what you're doing. You know, when I was doing mics and stuff like that, I would do four or five mics a night sometimes. So in many ways, you're doing less but bigger things.
Well, but you're saying, I have read you say that this is your calling and answering your calling is a nightmare.
So you're going to have to- I don't think people want a call. I mean, maybe if you're like rich or something and you want a calling, you want like a purpose in your life or whatever, it's too easy. I would like to think that maybe the easy life is better. But yeah, doing a calling when you're poor is like- There's no there's no guarantee of payoff. So versus I could have been an accountant, I could have gotten paid every two weeks. That to me is heaven.
Is it really just safe security? Well, paid two weeks. But heaven for you would not be heaven for you.
But then I found this and I had to I had to grind doing this. And I hate that word, but it's like, you know, you're you're you're extending your poverty for a very long time. It's not fun.
I've never heard anyone call a calling a nightmare. You're the only person I've ever heard do that.
Well, it's a disaster. If you have money to do your calling, that's fantastic. But when you don't, it's constant worry. You're making no money for so long or little money. You're stretching things. And I grew up in a house that was very capable of stretching. So I stretched.
All right. I want to go through the timeline and the biography. Nine siblings sounds crazy. Like that sounds like a household that's nuts.
It's nuts.
What are the details that are worth sharing on what you remember of fighting for everything with nine siblings?
I mean, it was really everything. Popsicles came in boxes of eight. My mother only bought one box. We were 10 kids. So it's kind of like musical chairs with the fucking popsicles. At some point, two people didn't get. So it's like that. Unless it was a steep sale on the popsicles, a two-for-one, a BOGO. She wasn't buying two boxes. So it's everything. It's my bathwater. It's, you know, I remember at seven finally speaking to my mother and say, you know, I think I'm ready for my own bath. I can't take a bath with these animals. They're pissing. My brothers would piss. I'm seven years old. I think it's, you know, great. I think it's fine. I have my own bath. Even 10 minutes. I'm not asking much. I can't shower with these animals.
I mean, look at them. You know, the penis, it's just like another shower. I don't need this. It's like I'm not even getting clean in there. They're disgusting. So things like that, just a ton of us being in the bath. My toothbrushes were really grimy. That sticks out. I remember we had like a blue sink, you know, those old porcelain, you know. We moved into my great-uncle Eddie's house, so nothing had been renovated. But... My mother had like a jar of our toothbrushes and just the petri dish of the toothbrushes, you know, 15 toothbrushes. God knows. She was trying to swap them out. She always tried, but at a certain point, you know. So I don't know. It's hard to pinpoint specifics because the whole thing was different.
That's why I say like, you know, in my relationship, you know, Gabby and I both come, we're similarly cut in that we don't come from money.
