Whether it’s through words, actions, time, gifts, or touch, understanding these can help improve your relationships—with friends, family, or a partner. It’s all about learning what makes you and others feel truly cared for.

Whether you were the trial run eldest, the peacekeeping middle, the attention-hogging youngest, or the wildcard only child, this show dives into the scientific and unscientific chaos of birth order. Join our hosts (two eldest children telling each other "exactlyyy") as they swap stories, roast stereotypes, and attempt to answer the age-old question: is it nature, nurture, or just parenting?
