Hey podcast universe, I wanted to drop in so you didn't think you got stuck in some holiday hot tub time machine when listening to this episode. I figured I'd wait till the January blues were in full effect before dropping our conversation with the darkly hilarious rosebud baker on you. If you hear us mentioning the upcoming holidays or the new year, that's the reason why. This was recorded a couple of weeks ago. So now you know and knowings half the battle. Now go on get, listen to this episode, number 461 for those keeping score of the commercial break. Here's the thing, my sister drowned in a jacuzzi, which is a very festive place to drown. It throws off the story, you know?

It's like getting shot in the head with a t-shirt cannon. Like a jacuzzi's where I lost my virginity to make it special. And she took that from me. So who's the real victim? On this episode of The Commercial Break. It was like the first Christmas after my sister died. My family put a life-sized cardboard cutout of my sister. Oh my god. Oh my god.

He was watching us. I was like, she's first. Now she's dead and she's got to watch us over the right. Oh yeah. Wow. I was like, this is so f- Ha ha ha ha ha. To me, it was like so funny. The next episode of the commercial break starts now.

Yeah, boy. Ah, yeah, Keshakins. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is the Senior Vice President of Ho Ho Ho's. Chris, enjoy. Oh, they best of you, Chris. Best of you out there in the podcast universe.

Good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you. All consuming right? Yes, it means all. I think what it really means is all knowing, all seeing, they use it for like God, like he's omnipresent. Oh right. But I'm a God in my own mirror.

So I'm going to say that, you know, I'm omnipresent on my mind. Number one, I hate when I go into the pantry and I cannot find the snack that I'm looking for. Do you know what I'm saying? Like when you're hungry, you just want to nibble on something. But then you go rooting around and you realize that you don't have the thing that I'm looking for. Do you know what I'm saying? Like when you're hungry, you just want to nibble on something. But then you go rooting around and you realize that they don't, you don't have the thing that you want, but you don't know what the thing is. Do you know what I'm saying? I just want something salty, but I don't want any of the salty stuff

that's available. I want something else. And I can't fucking figure it out. And I'm too lazy to go to the store. And I'm pissed because all I want is that salty snack, but I can't tell you where salty snack I want. That's why I keep a bag of the peanuts, the shelled peanuts around. Like just regular salty peanuts. Yeah, like the ones you would get at the ballpark. Oh, like the boiled peanuts?

Well, I love boiled peanuts, but. Oh, you get the full shell. Like the dried, like the ones that you crack open and you. Oh, you get the full shell. No, the dried, like the ones that you crack open and you. Oh, you get the crack ones, oh, you get the ones you gotta do work for. Yeah. How the fuck all that? I get the salted, you know, the plantars.

No, it gives that to me, gives me like a little of the saltiness that I want, and I've gotta do some works, so I don't even know. Do you ever eat the shell? I've eaten the shell a lot. I am embarrassed to say it, but I'm sure we've all done it. It's fiber. I know there's something about that shell that just gets to me. I don't even know on everyone, obviously, but I made the ballpark. I'm not afraid of like

chewing on a shell for a few minutes. You know what I'm saying? I feel like those guys out of their spit and chewing and chewing or whatever. I don't think it's as popular as it used to be, but there's still a lot of guys that dip in baseball. I can whatever that. I don't think it's as popular as it used to be, but there's still a lot of guys that dip in baseball. I can see it. I can see it in their big mouths. But if you watch it on TV, if...

G.S.A.K.S.A.K.S.E. in their big mouths. Yeah, their big fucking mouths. It's a big fucking baseball player mouth. Mmm. Fuck it. Oh, their big fat baseball player mouth. I get asked. Yes, indeed, Brian. No, no, big mouths baseball player mouths. I get ass.

Yes, indeed, Brian. I don't know if big mouths are a trade of baseball players, but saliva filled mouths with those tongues that just spit everything out. And like, they used to do the big chew too. Like, that's what they're doing. Yeah, the gum.

They do that with the gum, but now I think there's like a nicotine related to something that they put in their mouth. Okay. You know, guys used to smoke cigarettes down in that dugout and managers do it as a matter of fact, I think I don't, I think it was, I don't want to say the wrong name, but I think it was dusty baker that got caught smoking a cigarette like during a playoff game. I get the dugout not too long ago, but it was some manager of a baseball team. He was like smoking a cigarette in the dugout while they were in the middle of the game, which sure it was a cigarette. It was. It was. It was. It could have been a hot.

Tadea. Where was this game being played? Was it in California or Colorado? Well, I don't know that much about the story I even told. I just know that someone got caught smoking something. Okay. What was the? Ginger? Ginger. Yes. Wrap it up. Smoke a ginger. Smoke ginger. I mean, I bet there's guys out there who are doing divided tabs while they're playing. I know they get p-tests and everything like that. But if you're living in California, it's probably against every contract rule that you have to do anything marijuana related while you're on the team's time, but I got to imagine there's quite a few of those guys who are dibbing and dabbing while they're, yeah, you know, you play baseball for a living. It's got to be a tough thing to do.

I'm not saying that it helps with anxiety. It helps with anxiety. It helps with the game's anxiety. It helps you just get through the fucking season. 169 goddamn games. Can you imagine? It's like, it's like us. Yeah. We're playing a baseball season. That's right. Only we got to do 172. We got to go post season where the girls

of fall apparently. The girls of fall. The girls of fall. Well, I'm just going to throw myself into the girl pile. You should. There's no hiding. There's enough estrogen or an orange. I'm the gayest man you've not, that's not gay. Who hasn't touched balls with someone else? Knowingly. No. Knowingly. Okay.

All right. I don't want any somebody come out of the woodwork and be like, I like your balls, because I've touched. It seemed to be very interested in Jeff's balls. Oh, Jeff's balls got me hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. You don't understand. They're naked, good king.

Sometimes I have a little baby monitor. I was laughing to myself the other day I was never naked cooking. No, no, I was not naked cooking. I was laughing about the naked cooking because Literally I could not naked cook because you would burn every well Yeah, yeah, I burn myself too much. There's oil that splatters out. There's um You know different things and whatever. They could cooking, I don't know. They could drink surfing. Okay, that's. And, you know, apron and heels.

But I feel like Jeff's testicles have been through a lot. Like I think he could handle if he got a little splashy oil on his balls, you know what I'm saying? Take a dick and keep on dick. Oh yeah. I don't think that that feels good at any point. I have to be splashed with oil. No, no, no, no, no.

I have to wear a full glove now when I'm cooking with oil. Jeff was finally just wearing a walk. Just wear a fucking glove. I know, Astrid's are we doing this dance where she's like throws it in and then like, that's the way. Yeah, as if a grenade landed in front of her. She dives in the kitchen and I'm like, what's going on?

I even have like the grease splatter screen. Yeah, that'll put him, but when you lift it up, it still splatter. So I have one like goggles and gloves. When I was working at Mickey D's, I saw somebody slip and put their hand into a grease pad. Oh, yeah. I mean, I didn't actually see that I saw him pull his hand out and I quickly turned away, quickly turned away. I've never heard a scream like that in my entire life.

No, I've had third-degree burns and it takes a while to, to, um, it takes a couple of hours. Yeah, this guy was gone. He just left. I mean, I don't know, I don't know whatever happens. He's rushed off by me. Yeah, but it was a busy Saturday. So we just kept chicken, you know, we just kept cooking the, the McChicken's in that fron. Don't worry about it. The skin is the best part. That's what they say. The crispy skin.

The crispy skin. All right. Number two thing that's on my mind. I think we've reached peak TikTok. And let me explain why we've reached peak TikTok. I pull up to the gas station the other day, the shell or whatever it is. You know, they got those damn screens on the gas station now, and they follow you around.

As soon as you put in your credit card, they know what you're interested in, right? The credit card company gives them all the relevant information. I immediately get back into the car. Yeah, I don't always do that. I don't know why I stand outside the car, but I stand outside the car even when it's freezing cold. I always lock my doors.

Yeah, I always lock my doors, especially in Atlanta. This has been a rash. Yeah, that happened to a friend of mine. Yeah, I lock my doors, especially in Atlanta. This has been a raster that's been happening. Yeah, that happened to a friend of mine. Yeah, well, I told Astrid, I said Astrid, if anybody ever approaches you at a gas station, you tase them. Gave her a taser.

I'm like, you tase them. Don't even ask questions. That's just pram. Yeah, pepper spray him. Well, actually near a gas tank, I probably should tell her to pepper spray him. Yeah. It's, but I go to the gas station.

I'm standing there. And all of the sudden, on the guest, guest station, I'm standing there, and all of the sudden on the TV, they have that little guy, you're watching guest station news. They have guest station news, Rolling Stone claims, you know, it has names of top 50 guitars, the 2023, and then it's like, here's your TikTok reel of the day,

and up comes or TikTok, you know, your TikTok post of the day, and up comes a TikTok post that was also shown to me on my actual TikTok. And they were just scrolling through the TikTok posts at the fucking gas station. And I'm like, why are you showing me TikTok posts at the gas station on a screen attached

to a fucking diesel handle? Why would you be doing that? What is going on? I mean, we know how hard it is to come fucking diesel handle. Why would you be doing that? What is going on? I mean, we know how hard it is to come up with content. Oh, yeah, that's true. And imagine, let's just start doing that. Well, that was my second thought. It was like, who hires you to be the gas station?

The Gondon's in creator? Yeah, the Gondon, the gas station podcaster essentially. How do we get that gig? Because I'm sure it pays better than this gig. I really want it that guy He was just there's a guy in a girl you know who's on in a lot. Um, who's the girl? Shit, I can't remember her name. Uh, she's like a former like I'm she was married to Nick Lache Was she married to Nick Lache for a moment? It's not it's not the girl from love is blonde

No, not Jessica Simpson. Where does she go? I actually watched a couple of old Jessica Simpson live performances. And I gotta tell you, it's simply the worst thing I've ever heard my entire life. I can't, I don't know how that girl got a record contract. She's a mogul now, though. And you mean what I forget? Oh, yeah. She makes tons of things.

She makes tons of money and it's because of her fashion line Really, yeah, and I do love her shoes The girl who who thought chicken like tuna was chicken at the sea. Yeah, okay She's good. She she's good. What she does She's got that good people around her. Maybe is what it is. I think yeah, but I'm sure she has a hand in what goes into the actual collection. I'm sure of it. Is it her? I'm pretty sure her sister Ashley actually Simpson did something.

Well, she's married to Diana Ross's son. Oh, she is. Yeah, they have babies in the sun. Really? Yeah. Wow. Uh-huh. Well, we know who has a musical talent in that family and it's, it's, last name doesn't

start with Simpson. I'm catching it. Yeah. You know, when you're Diana Ross's son, you're never gonna work another day in your life. For sure. Diana Ross had like a string of hits there. She's a queen. She's the original. Yeah. She's the original. Wasn't she on the We Are the Boots? We are the Chewbub. Well, I was down Warwick, but. Oh, Diana Ross wasn't a part of that she might have been yeah, I Mean dinar os like disco queen and then came down into the 80s and 90s still and still now Hey, I know how she can get back in the good graces of the young generation You know how gas station tiktok. That's what you do

Listen, we can get one fucking person to follow our tiktok So maybe we need to go gas station TikTok. I'm here to tell you gas station content creator guy. Gas station news anchor, I guess is the best way to put it, even though you never give me any real news, it's just bullshit. But if you need content ideas, Chrissy and I are willing to put clips to the commercial break at every gas station across the United States. That's a way to solve the fossil fuel crisis right there. Watch how quickly people buy electric cars.

I'm not going to listen to that motherfucker. I'm not going to say young kids too. Now, most of them don't even get licenses. No, till they're like 27. Yeah, I wasn't allowed to get a license. Oh my god, this reminds me. I was on the way here today to record. And I saw a car on the side of the road. You know, I do the ways on the way up here,

just in case there's some kind of, I mean, I know the way to get here, but in case there's some kind of crazy back or something, it'll work me around it. So I did it. But so I'm, you know, and I'm going up here and I look to the side and there is this hazard, you know what it tells you about a hazard. Hazard reported ahead and I look over, there's like a white car with the hood just directly up. Oh, it's just sitting on top of the glass. It's, yeah, and it reminded me of you. Oh, listen, that's what I drove around for four years.

But that doesn't include the story about when I think I told this, when I had no driver's license, I was working at a chileys up north of Atlanta, not my normal chileys. I was like filling in for somebody, but I had no car. So somebody had to drop me off there. Then there's like this emergency where we're out of kids' margarita cups or something, right? We all need cocaine. I don't know what's going on.

But the manager goes like the assistant manager is like, I need you to go down. He was this fucking hilarious guy. You remember the page in 30 Rock? Who was the, what's his name? He's from Stone Mountain. Yeah, okay. He had the exact, this assistant manager

had the exact same voice. Much like a guy that we used to work with. Yup. More of the manager, right? Hey, Brian, do me a favor. I need you to run down to the other store down the Marrietta, get us some kids margarita cups. So you do that for me, and I'm like, sure,

but I don't have a car. I don't worry about it, honey, take my car. And I'm like, okay, he's like, it's that Honda, it's that white Honda Civic outside, go ahead, take it. It runs just fine. And I'm like, okay, so I go, I turn on, it sticks shift. All right, fine, driving down Georgia 400. And I start to notice that the hood is shaking.

And I'm like, oh, that's not good. The hood shaking, that is not good. And all of the sudden, going 60 miles per hour down this major highway in Atlanta, the hood flies up. It opens, it opens while while I'm driving down the... I'm going to leave shit. Chrissy by the grace of God and the holy kids margarita she verse I don't know

what happened but I managed to pull over. It was scary and it cracked the bottom of the windshield because it came up and flew up it was it was intense. It was intense. Yeah. I would freak out. Totally freak out.

Totally freak out. Hey, so excited because today we have one of my favorite new comedians, and by new comedians, I mean, someone that I've just gotten turned on to. Rose Bud Baker. She is very... She's fucking hilarious. She's funny.

Yeah. Her comedy is so dark, she talks about all the things that you shouldn't be talking about on a stage, and she makes it hilarious, and it's like my brand of humor. Yeah, me too. My favorite brand of humor. I grew up with like a morbid sense of humor, mom. Yeah.

And you know what, I think this is why I like the British comedies, because they're subversively dark a lot of times. But when I say subversive, it means there's a joke in there about something dark, you just gotta be smart enough to pick it up. Not with Rosebud. She's going to just tell you exactly like it is and she's going straight for it on the nose. I love it.

It's so funny. She's got a new Netflix special verified on Netflix. She's an episode number one. Fairfied stand up. And what they do is they take like 10, 12 minute sets from 10 different comics over two different episodes. And Rosebud is one of the featured comics. She's also got a comedy central special.

She's a SNL writer. She's a SNL. She was on life and Beth and is on the upcoming season of that too. Yeah. And so I want to dig in about SNL too because I'm so fascinated. Even everybody. Yes. It just seems like this magical world.

It is. But I know it's not magical. Oh no, it's a lot of hard work, no, it's a lot of hard work. Yeah, it's a lot of hard work. And so we'll get into it with Rosebud. She's going to be here in just a few minutes. But go check out her Netflix special verified standup on Netflix episode number one. You'll catch Rosebud.

Google her and then you'll figure out also that her grandfather was James Baker, the secretary of state under George W. Bush. So not my favorite grandpa in the world, but I've listened to enough Rosebud comedy that I think we're going to get into her and she's right up the fucking commercial breaks. Allie, I'm so happy to have her actually. So let's do this. Let's take a break and then when we get back, we'll have Rosebud with us. Okay. All right. we'll be right back. Look, I know you guys are getting really sick of me, but that is too bad. It's my job.

Now go to tcbpodcast.com for all of our audio and video content and get your little booty over to youtube.com slash the commercial break for fully edited video episodes. Want a chat? to podcast and on Instagram at the commercial break. And if you can't even be seen doing that, just listen to these sponsors and let's get back to the show. Hey Rosebud, how are you? I'm good. How are you guys doing? Yeah, we couldn't do better. It's a happy, happiest time of the year. Yeah. I think it was wonderful. All right. I don't know.

I don't know who made that, but obviously it was before consumerism completely ruined our lives before travel. Yeah. And they had no children. And before family, yeah. For sure. For sure. And the first person to ever exist,

named it the best family. Yeah, yeah. I'm kind of like, I'm not exactly like pumped for Christmas. I don't know if are you guys Christmas people? I'm Christmas person, but ever since I had children, it just completely ruined it for me. It's fucked those little kids. Yeah.

It's, you know, it's so funny. I like just, I've never liked Christmas. I've always just been like, Christmas is a ass. I don't like, I don't, I'm not into it. But I do love, now that I have a baby, I'm like, so pumped. I was like, putting up the tree, I got decorations. I'm like, who is this person? I'm, and she's not gonna remember a single moment.

Not a fucking thing. Not one thing. And I'm just gonna take pictures and be like, remember this is when I feared, you know. I'm sure five, there's no way this is a thing. You couldn't be more right about this. I've 12 to 15 children, I'm not sure how many kids I have, but they're all running around here somewhere.

And when you have kids, I find, I found that it, there's no more Christmas for you. It's all about the children. But I will say on a positive note, there is no joy on this earth, in my opinion, like watching children on Christmas day, when they can remember shit, like when they're old enough to actually know what's going on. There's nothing as like pure as the driven snow joyful moment that you're going to have and when your daughter is three four years old and she's she's excited about Christmas. You are going to light up like a Christmas tree. It's where it got. It's wonderful.

I'm excited. Yeah, but then you got to remember I got to go change the shitty diaper so it's kind of a little like so. And then they stop opening them and you're like, oh, right, I'm broke. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, exactly. I have one overarching question, one big question. I like to start off the interviews of one big question.

How in the world, how in the good gravy cornflakes, did you end up being a liberal? What calledron of mystic experiences made you a liberal because your grandfather, if I'm not mistaken, was James Baker, like Secretary of State James Baker. How did you end up on the other side of the coin? I think it's just that I was born unemployable. I really think that's what it is.

I was just born to be unemployable. This is the only job I've ever been able to keep and have and enjoy. And yeah, I spent many years with very little money and I just feel like now that I've got some, I'm like, okay, I kind of see their point. But I'm not. That's true.

It's like, my dad used to always say to me, he's like, it's easy to be a Democrat when you're not paying your own bills. And I was like, okay, I see what he's saying now. I get it. Well, my dad was not Secretary of State. He said the exact same thing. He's like, you're young and broke, you're liberal. But trust me, when you get kids and money, you're gonna be a conservative.

And I'm starting to kind of get his point, like, officially I understand where he's coming from. Basically, I completely get it. Yeah, I get it, but all the social bullshit is, it's just beyond me. It's starting to do a different animal. I can't take it anymore. It is kind of a shock to the system, like what has happened politically. I'm just like, I don't know what. I don't know what it's about now. You know what my father-in-law says?

My wife is Venezuelan, and so like from Venezuela. And they've seen some real shit go down there. And my father-in-law always says to me, he says, extremes on both ends end up at the same place, right? And I couldn't agree with him more now that I'm watching it go down in real time. I'm like, just why did, how did everybody get so extreme? I remember when I was a kid growing up, I just don't remember dinner table conversations about politics.

As a matter of fact, I think people really tried to avoid that the best to take good. And now it's like the only thing anybody talks about. And, uh, yeah, I honestly don't think it's even as extreme as it seems on the, like I, on the internet. I think that it's not as crazy as it appears to be. I just think that the loudest people in the room are always the craziest. Well, I don't know. We've got Marjorie Taylor Greene. Well, I don't know. We've got Marjorie Taylor Greene, here in Georgia. That's the best. I don't know.

But I do agree with you. The squeaky wheel gets the grease and the print. And that I think that's what ends up happening. And especially if you're spending a lot of time on the internet, like I do in dark rabbit holes, trying to figure out what to talk about. When you, when you were a kid, was you're like, you say you're unemployable

and you spent most good truck of your life without money, did that go into, without money, was not when you were a kid, but when you went out there in the world on your own? Yeah, I saved without money. I mean, it's like, at the end of the day, even when I was struggling, I was like, it's not like I don't have a safety net.

So I say that, but I'm not saying it as if like it was that scary for me. It was I had the privilege of like coming up like growing up with money. I feel like you know I never was at a point where I was like, oh my god, I'm gonna be homeless or something like that. It was just like you know Your ability to generate your own income, you felt was, you were having a hard time. Yeah, and I think I've always been pretty proud and pretty independent and I don't like feeling

indebted to people. So I wasn't accepting like help from my parents for a while, and I just was like, I'm gonna do this my way. And, yeah, I mean, looking back, I'm like, why did I do that? Like, it should have just taken money from them, but yeah, so when I say without money, I don't mean like, I was really struggling or anything like that

It was just kind of like you know doing it myself. Yeah, I get it I slept under a porch for like nine months. It wasn't it wasn't my crowning achievement in life But I just was too proud to ask my dad to come back home and not live under the porch Wow On the porch on the porch on the porch on the On the porch. On the porch. On the porch. It was on the porch. Where there was a light bulb. What was a rocky chair I could sleep on?

It was like, oh, with the raccoons. Yes. Exactly. There was a screen. Well, you got to... There was a screen. That's true. When you go to make your way in the world, how do you get into comedy?

Where does that start? Well I think I was an actor for a long time trying to make it as an actor in New York. It wasn't really working out. I decided I was like, I don't want to do this anymore. I wanted to do something that has nothing to do with me. So, there was. And I was like, I want to be like a dog trainer or a social worker or something. And I had a friend who had been, who was in acting school with me, Michael Blasstein,

who's like, he's doing great now. And he's a comic. And he was like, you are always sending me jokes. You got to just do them. Like, I hate that you are always sending me jokes. You gotta just do them. Like, I hate that you're sending these to me. Please try them yourself. So you were writing off that, you were writing jokes before you got on stage

and you were sending them to other people? I was like, I would have ideas. I wouldn't say that I was writing, but I would have ideas and I would be like, you should try this or here's a joke or try, you know, and he was like, I don't, I don't want your fucking jokes.

Like, just tell you what I'm doing. So, and I, you know, I get this all the time now, even as a comic, because like, my parents will like send me ideas for jokes. And I'm like, this is, this is a tough one. I can't stress enough how bad this is. But my, but so my friend is really kind of responsible. He was like, you should try it.

I tried stand up on a cross country trip with a friend of mine. And then I didn't go near it again. I did it. It was the scariest thing I've ever done. I can't imagine. I know. I think I read my uncle's Facebook posts. It's been like an act one. And like, because he would do these like kind of redneck high-cues. And I just found them hilarious. So I read those on stage. I think I got my first laugh. I bolted and then didn't go back on stage until about three months later in New York.

And once I had done it in New York, then I was like, oh, and I didn't do horribly. I was like, okay, I want to do this every day. And I just did it every day after that. Just almost like as like an impulse, like the way that a dramatic like has to go to the gym. Like I felt like I had to go. And then I think about five years in, I, four or five years in, I got this documentary called Inside Jokes. It was about trying to get into the new faces festival. And, or the new faces of comedy for JFL. Is that just for laughs and in in Canada right? Okay. Yeah, and and I got that documentary and I was like it was the first big check that I got and I left my

job and which was like okay that was bold but I left my job and I just I've booked work ever since, thank God, because there's a really good chance that that wasn't going to happen. Sure. Congratulations, Sam. Yeah, so that's kind of how it happened. It was all just sort of like a dark night of the soul that ended up, I just ended up in an open mic, you know.

You, we say this all the time, and especially when we're interviewing comedians, it takes, I think, a great amount of gusto to tell you those. To get on stage, walk that 15 feet, and know that at any given moment, depending on how, depending on, I don't know, the which way the wind blows

in which asshole walked in the door, you could have a good night or a bad night, but you're gonna have a good night or a bad night in front of a couple hundred, a couple thousand people. Sitting behind a microphone, I can edit it all. Like if I want, if I choose to, I can edit out the bad parts. I don't because I'm too fucking lazy, but I could.

We are the best mediocre comedy podcast you've ever heard of. So, you are so, like, I was saying this right before we came on air. I feel like you're a comedy soulmate. You are so dark and, I was saying this right before we came on air. I feel like you're a comedy soulmate. You are so dark and I am so into it. I think that, I think there's a lot of satire that I like because it's subversive. They're getting a message through,

but you have to have a brain inside your head to get the message. And then there are people who are so on the nose and not afraid to go there, no matter what it is. Is that always been your style? Like like humor through trans, humor through pain, like, D, is that always been who you are as a comedian? I think so. I think there's something about nothing going as planned.

Yeah. That's just, that's lends itself really well to comedy. And I think I've always found, there's always just this kind of like, when bad things happen to me, they happen like in multiples, like everything you do, all like stacks up, like with each other.

And so it always feels like my whole life has kind of felt like that thing where, you know, you see the guy like slip on a banana peel get up step in a bucket step on a way that's what my life has kind of felt like so that's where I get my humor from. You had a from reading and listening to your comedy and a few other places that you've been you had like a bit of a rough patch, you know, between what, 18 years old and your early 20s, and she getting like a fist fight in Las Vegas or something.

No, so I, it was right when I was graduating college, not when I was graduating high school. No, when did my sister die? Anyway, my sister died, and it was right at the end, it was at the end of high school. No, when did my sister die? Anyway, my sister died. And it was right at the end of it was at the end of high school. Okay. It was a great day as a school graduation. And I was I was leaving for college. My parents had gotten separated. Oh my god. They were not yet divorced. My sister died and it was just like holy shit. This is like what is happening? A tsunami of fuck you.

Yeah. Yeah, just a real like God being like, how about the can you handle this? Right. Here you go. Yeah, and it just kind of, it was just like, I think that was the first time that it happened where I was like,

what the hell is going on? Like it was just crazy, I think that was the first time that it happened where I was like, what the hell is going on? Like it was just crazy. That's intense. Yeah. And you know, there's as much as I was tragic and awful, there's like things about death that are really the way that people deal with it that are really funny people it's such a big part of life and yet every time it happens we're like

this can't be part of life so our brains just can't really compute it and it was like the first Christmas after my sister died my family put a life-sized cardboard cutout of my sister. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh, he was watching us. I was like, she's first. Now she's dead and she's got to watch us over. Oh, yeah.

Wow. I was like, this is so fucked up. To me, it was like so funny. And I couldn't stop making jokes about it. And I think ever since that happened, that has just been my MO. You committed to it. That's my sense of humor is like, I find funny in the moments where you're not supposed to.

You know? I was watching one of your specials a couple of days ago. funny in the moments where you're not supposed to, you know. I was watching one of your specials a couple of days ago, and I was like, she's just not afraid to go anywhere. She's taking all the dark things and making them so fucking funny, including, and then I saw you do a couple of bits about your sister. Chrissy and I did an episode a couple of months ago. My mom, who lives in a retirement home,

found a man that she dated for a while. And when I say dated, I mean, they called each other twice a day. You know what I'm saying? It's like that kind of relationship because they're in the retirement village or whatever. And so he really got it on in retirement. He had to go that way far. You got to understand my mom's boyfriend. I think he, I think nothing was going on downstairs.

And so, and my mom was happy to keep the dicks away. She didn't want anything to do with the dicks. So she told us this on the show. But we do this at, I ended up getting invited to the funeral and I show up and there's like, it's me, my twin brother, and then his son, his only son, and my mom. Those are the only people at the funeral

and I don't even know the fucking guy all that well. So we do this whole episode and that's the least funny thing that happened that day. It was a comedy of errors in every way. They almost rolled them over in his grave. He had a pine box and when I say box, it was like cardboard. He was hanging out. So was he like a bad guy? Like what? According to if you want to listen to the eulogy, you would have you it was the most you're like, who was my mom?

But listen to this rose. He was just so old that he, you know, a lot of times people are gone. Other people are gone by that side. Yeah, that's true, too. But he only had one side. He had two children. He had two children. I was two.

I didn't show up. Oh God. But Rosewood, listen. He was not a great kid. No, no, he wasn't. So this is, this is you, the G started like this. My dad, he was a little misunderstood. Why remember when I was a kid, he had an apartment inside of the apartment building where my family

lived. And he would spend all his free time there. And I was like, oh my god, and it got worse from there. The guy couldn't figure out a nice thing to say about his father. But anyway, the point is, I did this episode and it was, we really thought it was a layer. Like, we were cracking up while we were telling it and then we got a lot of reaction that my mom came on as she told her version of this story.

But some people got really upset by it. There was a couple of people who died then and they were like, listen, you know, you shouldn't be making fun of this guy's funeral. Like, it's his last rites. That's the way he goes on. I'm like, if you can't laugh about this stuff, it's funny, then that's just the way

that some people deal with these kind of things. The only one who showed up. That's right. Right. I did. I got the right to make fun of it because I was there. No one else showed up.

And yeah. My mom had a morbid sense of humor. And so I totally get it. I just. Just like that. Yeah. I love it. I love it.

When you're writing for Saturday Night Live, still writing for Saturday Night Live? I know that everybody in the world that knows Saturday Night Live is so fascinated by the tick-tock of Saturday Live, and I am really fascinated by it. How do you get the job as writer? And which email address do you email your resume to?

And can I borrow any of your material just for a minute? I promise to give it back to you. You could totally do that. You'd probably stay there for a week and be like, okay, I'm going. I'm done. I'll see you later. Yeah.

How do you get the job? It's an awesome job. I love it. I actually got the job. It was a little different. I had submitted a writing packet to SNL, probably like three or four years prior. But after that, I was like, that was so exhausting to put that packet together. I think I'll just, I'm good.

I don't have to work there. It's not a big deal. Yeah. And, and you know, you put together writing packets all the time as a standup, but I think as I got more busy, I was just like, I don't have time to like put this together and send it in.

And I think it was like 2021. I got a call from my friend, Lindsey, who was one of the producers there. And she was like, Hey, would you ever be interested in writing here? And I was like, yeah, no, I would I would totally be interested in it. And she was like, okay, I'm gonna set up a call with, you know, they want to they want to talk to you. The head know, they wanna talk to you, the headwriters wanna talk to you, and we'll talk about possibly bringing you in like mid-season,

and I was like, okay, so I met with the headwriters, talked to them on Zoom. This was still like, you know, pretty high-to-coated. Right. And then I got hired, and I came on like two weeks later. I mean, it was wild though, cause I had known enough people who have worked at SNL to know that it is like a crazy job.

It's, I love it, but it's this kind of like, the schedule's insane. It's wild, you're there, Like I'm there Monday through Saturday. I have Sunday off and I'm basically like recovering that day. Yeah. I mean, truly it's like I just put myself in the ICU. Yeah, you work like 20 hours a day, right? Like it gets crazy.

Yeah, it gets crazy. And then, but I came on and I was was like I had to talk with my husband. I was like Hey, I've been offered this job. I Want to take it, but I I really will not take it if you think that it's like if it's just gonna I was like newly married and I will take it if you really think it's just gonna be Bad for us because it will be. Yeah, no doubt. And he was like, no, you should take it.

Take the job, I would never tell you not to absolutely take it. And I did, and it was great. It's been fantastic, I love it. It's very different from the stand-up world. Yeah, I was just about to ask, do you enjoy writing or do you enjoy standup more? Like, if you could do one. I love both. I think if I had to do one, I would go with standup,

but that could change on any given week. It's like, you know, because writing is, as much as it seems like an isolated activity, it's really when it comes to like a comedy room, you're just making other comedians laugh. It's kind of like just yuking it up at a table with people. So that is not unlike stand up. It's very similar. You're just like, sometimes if I'm not in the mood to do stand up. I'll go to the club early and just talk to the other

Comics just to get in a mood where it's like oh, I know I like this. This is I'm feeling funny No, I can't you're getting the blood flowing essentially. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, so It depends on the week. You know, you could ask me next week and I'd be like I'd rather right It depends on the week. You could ask me next week and I'd be like, oh, I'd rather play. When you guys do a typical week at SNL, is it like, guest comes in on Monday, you pitch them ideas, you've already started the banter, you pitch them ideas, they weed through them and say, yes, no, maybe so. And then you kind of refine it from there or are you literally coming up with ideas all week long,

throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks? No, you're kind of... Well, it's a little bit of both. Okay. So, like, there's a really cool documentary on YouTube that James Franco did called Saturday Night. Yep. That basically goes...

It was when he was hosting, and he documented what the work week like, it is like at SNL, and it has not changed. It hasn't changed since 1970. It's basically like, you go in Monday, you pitch to the host, Tuesday, you write your sketches, you write the whole show Tuesday night. We all go in, we write our sketches.

We submit, we wake up Wednesday morning, go over the sketches again, make any changes, send those in. Those get, once those are submitted, I think they get about like 50, probably around 50 sketches. Jeez. I'm not going on that. And then they then they go through them and they pick like 30.

And we read 30 of those sketches at the table read on Wednesday. So everybody goes back in Wednesday night, we do the table read, then we hang out, like all the writers go upstairs and sort of wait, like all the writers go up stairs and sort of wait, like actors auditioning for a musical. I did a pic me, did a pic me, my sketch, and then the pics come out, and if your sketch gets picked, you go directly to design costumes, hair, and you talk to everybody about what you want, and they already have it all drawn up, like it's crazy. And then Thursday's rewrites, we rewrite everything, we punch

things up. Friday's blocking, Saturday is dress rehearsal and show. God, damn, that's like, oh, that's a hamster wheel. I cannot imagine being on. And I'm sure some people spend the night there, they're just like, you know, into the night typing away. Have you ever had a long night? I'm sure that you've spent. I've slept at work.

Yeah. Yeah, I've never slept at work. I don't recommend it to people that are working there. I mean, it's like, I think everybody used to do it and I think COVID just changed that a little bit. Yeah, everybody decided there is something else besides work that we might have to get to. Yeah, but still people go home at like four or five in the morning

and then get up at like eight to go over their sketches and have them in by 10 a.m. It's like you get like two hours of sleep. It's like having kids. Yeah, having 12 to 14 children. It really is. I have to say that now that I actually have a kid, it's not harder than having a job at SNL.

It's the same. Yeah, you get very little sleep. You're constantly thinking about the next thing, in a million different directions, and you're in a fog most of your life. So, you know, I don't know. They said have a kid, it'll change everything. It sure did.

Yeah, well, oh go ahead. Sorry. No, no, no, they said have a kid, it'll change everything, it sure did. Oh go ahead. Sorry. No, no, no, I was just going to say you're also too tired to form a new memory. I don't think you've had a new memory for the last year. So right about this, my brain is filled with all the kid stuff, so I'm having a hard time fitting anything else in. I read a book and I got to go back and read the pages the next night because I'm like, I don't even remember what the fuck I was reading last night.

What you tell the funniest, I read this. I don't know where I read it. One of these magazines that you did an interview for. You were talking about Travis Kelsey being on the show and how he was having trouble reading so he was getting Patrick Mom to read lines back and forth. The way that I read the page in your voice in my head was, oh my God, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey are practicing reading together. I thought that was too fucking funny. They were going over lines together in their dressing room and I and I thought it was so cute that I cried and I was like oh I'm pregnant like I knew it. You knew it. I was like

don't I don't cry in that building. I just told myself when I got the job I was like I'm not gonna cry in 30 rock. It's not I won't give that building my tears it's not gonna happen and then suddenly I hear Travis Kelsey practicing his lines with his like, jock friends. And I was like, this is so cute. And I just like started tearing up. I was like, what is wrong with me? Wow, I got emotional over Patrick Mahomes

reading the Travis Kelsey. And over something sweet. Yeah. That was cool. You wanted it. over Patrick Mahomes reading the Travis Kelsey over something sweet. Well, I know you worked on life and Beth too. And I loved that, Cheyenne. Love Amy Schumer. How is that? Did you work on a couple of episodes or how what did that look like? It was great.

So I did a couple of episodes the first season and then we have the second season coming out in February. And I did, my character was back. She's a real crazy lady. I love that too. Yeah, it's really fun. It was like, basically Amy told me,

it was like your character is this girl that is, she knows that I'm dating this guy, but she just does not, it doesn't matter to her. Yeah, she's so into this guy, it just doesn't matter. And in her mind, they are, you're dating him. Even though you know that I am. So you almost get mad at me. Like, the way that I approached it as I was like, okay, I just all

I'll think of them as sister wives. I'll think of us If she upsets him then it's he's upsetting our merit Do you know what I mean? Yes, so that's like how I approached it because I was like it's tough to play a person who's essentially kind of crazy with compassion. Right. You have to understand where they're coming from. Sure. So, I was like, this is kind of fun for me to just get back into acting and especially with a character that's so like crazy. Yeah, you know, I get to like, I get to catch myself with that.

So yeah, how fun. I'm so excited. That comes back in February. Is that right? Yeah. So it's already in the can. And you guys are just waiting for it to be released. Yeah.

You, a Chrissy and I have had this conversation multiple times. I'm sure we'll have it till the day that we stop doing the show. We're contractually obligated for 15 more years. But, you know, you know, talk about the hamster wheel. You had, it's talk about hamster wheel. That's right.

So I'm doing this shit four days a week. So, you and your husband have a crazy story. You started a podcast and three days into the podcast or three episodes into the podcast. He asked you to marry him. Did you stop a podcast and three days into the podcast or three episodes into the podcast. He asked you to marry him. Did you stop the podcast because you were certain that podcast was going to cause a divorce because I have this conversation all the time. No, I think we actually, I really enjoyed podcasting with him.

It was just like, I got the job at SNL and I was like, there's no way they're gonna keep doing this and the SNL. For a while, we kept it going and then I was like, this is, I can't do this. It's untenable. Yeah, the out there, the baby in there too. So, right. Yeah, right. And the baby's how many weeks old?

Ah! Ah! Ah! We're good. Oh, big. Oh, good. Where's the Oshkoshbagosh pictures? I wanna see them and I want to see them now. They're two weeks.

Yeah. Back to SNL for one minute. And who, what is this sketch that you never got on there that you really thought was going to hit if it had? Like, what's the baby that hasn't been born yet that you're just waiting for the right moment for Lauren or somebody to say, okay okay green light or the guest or whoever. There's well there's one that made it to dress that never made it to air. It was about a life coach that okay so I have a friend who's constantly giving advice that I don't really need.

That feels like it's more for them than for me. And so I wrote this sketch based on their advice and it was like Kiki Palmer plays a life coach that comes in and she's doing like a new moon ceremony for her friends. What was the new moon? We have some friends that do those. We know these people.

We've been to new moons on these. All these girls are like, I've never been to one of these. What is this? And then she comes in and she's like, all right, listen up. She's like, all y'all, it's 2022. All y'all are going to stop sleeping with homeless men. And everybody's like, we don't do that. And it just gets, she's like, I know you think.

I'm a blackier and a blackier. Yeah, no, she just keeps hammering the fact that like, that you, he's like, if he comes up to you talking all smooth, trying to sell you a painting, like, I don't care what he, you cannot buy that painting. She's just, he's covered in blood. That's a red flag. They're like, we know. Like, it's basically that. And then at the end,

like her boyfriend breaks into the apartment and he's homeless. So, Someone online. Really silly, but that one didn't make it on and then the other one was, it was about a guy who like everybody, it's only made it to table, but it hasn't ever made it to dress. And it's like a guy that is, he's like a single guy that everybody, because everybody looks up to like single men like men without Families. Yeah, I just I was like I want to write a sketch about how they're like worshiped but everything he's saying is

deeply sad. Yeah, like it's just like he's like I just I'll go to Disney World by myself. They're like, why? He's like, lines are short, you know? And then, but everything is getting progressively statter, and he's like, you know, last week, I was parachuting, and I just thought, what if I didn't even pull the parachuting? I don't know. I just, what if I just ended it all?

So obviously this hasn't made it on to SNL. You go home to your family and wife, I'm going home to my pizza box and my pumpkin scented candle from Hottie Lobby. Yeah, I just thought, I'm like, women get hammered all the time for not having a kid or not having a family. And I'm like, I just wanted to do it to a man.

Yeah. I love that. I think it was a little bit. Yeah. But yeah, that sketch may never see the light of day. We'll see. I hope it does, because I think you're right about this. I think single men are kind of like,

look at his kings of the world, right? But I, having been a single adult male in my 30s, I can tell you right now, it's not all it's cracked up to be. I certainly miss some things about it, but I don't miss the empty pizza box with the pumpkin-centred candle, which by the way, smells really good. I did.

I did. Get through the combo of those as delicious. I did. If you put them together, which I may or may not have, I plead the fifth. Listen, when I was single 12 to 15 bud lights was not unusual for for for day. So now that I have children, I will never drink again because being a hungover parent, you're an asshole. It's just the worst fucking thing in the world.

I want you to tell us your like, what is the darkest bit that you do? Like the darkest, in your opinion, like the thing that just goes there. Like it goes there and it's on the nose. I mean, it's hard to say. It's hard to rank them. I have a bit that I, that I, is in my current special, which is in the works, but it's not out yet, but it's about my miscarriage. And so, like, that was a bit that I was like, I think, and when I wrote it, it was way too soon. Like, I was like, this is too soon to be telling

this joke, but it's the only way that I know how to like process what's going on. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. And I felt like we're going on stage and not talking about what had happened. So yeah, I think that was, that's probably the bit that I have that's like the darkest. Yeah, I think miscarriage is probably a dark subject that he's, that's probably the darkest one. But I, you know, I, I do this kind of stuff,

mostly because I think it's funny, you know? But the benefit of it is like, there's women, there's so many women that have experienced it and they're like, thank you for like lightening it just a little bit, right? Right, I can see that. There's the feel that you wanna tell and feel understood because when you're like, at least when I'm on stage and I'm talking about it,

if I get laughs, I feel understood. There's like a connection. It's energetically, it's cathartic, right? It's like, oh, okay, I went through this, it was horrible, but now I'm processing it into something positive, which is everybody's laughing and now we're kind of connected in that way. Exactly.

Bad things happen all the time. All the time. So why is it that we, why do we talk, why do we only want to talk about half of our experience? It's like why do we only want to talk about the good stuff? I think it's great to talk about the good stuff, but for me, I'm like, that leaves half my human experience completely unrecognized.

Yeah, it's like Instagram. You just show that happy that. You just show the good stuff, that's it. Right, yeah. You know, we do this show. We put out so much content. I mean, four days a week. We're putting out, I don't think, what is it, 6,000 episodes around or something like that.

We put this all out, but I- I feel like that. I think we made the decision early. I at least, I did. I was like, listen, this is gonna go on celluloid. It's never going away. So if we do one episode, we might as well do a thousand. And if we talk about one thing, we might as well talk about it all

because that's the only way to connect. And it's the only way to keep it cathartic for us in the room is if we share all the ugly and the good. It's mainly ugly. But you know, there's some good stuff that happens to us too, but I agree with this sentiment is like I feel like I'm purging it a little bit when I say it out loud and even though I don't see the people in front of me, I feel like if it gets to somebody and it gives them a laugh in a similar situation, well then there's some good has come of it, right? It feels like therapy a little bit

to get in the room and get on the microphone. I watched your comedy central special and as you're getting geared up, you're warming up right, you're in the room, you're first five minutes, you can tell the crowd doesn't really, I think my sense of it was, the crowd doesn't really know what to expect

and you're doing quite a high wire act there for a couple of minutes, but once you get them, they're there. Like they're right there with you and they're thinking, all of this is funny. Do you still find when you walk on stage that you're still doing kind of that high wire act because people may not know what to expect? It may be, it's almost like it doesn't feel like it anymore. Um, I, I think not because the material has gotten any, it's, the material is still of, as substantial as it was, but it feels like, to me, it feels like less and less risky,

yeah, you know, to say what, you know, my first special, I was like, oh, like nobody really knows who I am, and that's kind of a benefit to me right now, because there's, you know, once you put out your special, you kind of get an audience. And so I was like, if I'm not going to get this experience, again, I want to like make the most of the fact that they don't know who I am. They don't know what to expect.

And that feels dangerous. Yeah. And even though it's not, it feels dangerous. So I kind of, since then, it just hasn't felt the same. I haven't felt the same kind of danger. It's a risk. People who come out to see me now know who I am and they kind of know what to expect. Right.

They already have a good age of who you are going to walk in the door. Right. Generally speaking, I get people who like dark humor, who have been through some shit and they come to hear jokes about it, you know. Those are your people. That's right. Yeah, exactly. Have you ever come up with it? Yeah.

Just. Early on, did you have anybody that just like poorly reacted to one of your jokes? I was when I was watching your special, I'm like, I wonder if she's had anybody that's just like stood up and then like fuck you, that doesn't, you know, that hurts me. I had somebody at that special do it. I mean, there was somebody in the front row, like arms crossed, looking so mad. And I said to him, I was like,

are you having a good time? Oh, yeah, it's right. And he said, no, yeah. And I was like, well, it's staying in. I was like, I'm leaving it in. I could have put that out. And I was like, I don't, I want to keep that. I just, it

was such a, it was such a comedy show moment. And I wanted my special to feel like you were at the show. And because I feel like there's so many specials that I watch that are, they, there's a real benefit to this, that it's, it that it feels like a finished product. Yeah. But to me, I always miss the feeling of like, what's about to happen? Like, what happens if this doesn't go well? Yeah. And that's what I love about a live show.

And I wanted to feel, wanted to keep those some of those moments in the special. I think it's brilliantly done. You are so fucking funny. It's so. I don't know. I enjoyed it so much. I'm so it's you're my favorite comic of 2023. We'll see if you make it to 2024. We're going to have a we're going to have a conversation here in the room after you leave behind your back and we'll make that decision. I got my ears back. I'll let you know. Let's send an email. You come to my next goal holding up a two. Two point two.

Are you going out in two or in 2024? Are you going to stay home with the. I am I'm not touring. I'm not touring until the summer, but I am planning my next tour and we're like routing it right now. And I'm working on the new material that's coming after this special. But to be honest, with you, I shot an hour while I was pregnant and I'm shooting another 30.

And I'm combining after, you know, a year after I've had the 30 and I'm combining after a year after I've had the kid and I'm combining the two into one. Nice, that's amazing. Well come to Atlanta. Come to Atlanta, we would love to see you. I think it's a good comedy town, I don't know. I mean.

I plan to come out, there is an Atlanta date on the book. Nice. You tell us one that is because we will be front row with your numbers, with your numbers. Yeah. Yeah. And ready to how cool you when we feel our little feelings get hurt.

Because that's also who we are, where are your people? I have 30 questions to ask you, and as per usual, I got there one of them. So there you go. Will you come back on when you have a free moment? I know you're very busy, but when you have a free moment, if you come in, like when you go on tour and you're making your swings, come and all of our degenerate listeners can then hear what dates you have so that they can go see you also.

I'm a little bit special too, that's out right now. That's special. Yeah, there's five minutes, sorry, it's 10 minutes, it's a 10 minute set that I have on Netflix verified stand-up. Barely. I shot it when I was 38, 36 weeks pregnant. I don't know. Whatever.

It's eight and a half months. I was eight and a half months. Don't worry about the weeks. I said it. And again, I have no idea how many weeks it is. And it was, I had a rough last trimester. So it was cool. Really, it may be the most unhinged I've ever been on campus.

You got to go watch it. It's on Netflix. Rosebud Baker, once again proving that women are just better at stronger and tougher than any single man who runs the world. Bitches do. That's right. And I'm so glad to buddy up to them. I know where my buddy, I know where my bread is buttered. My mom had been raised no fool. So that's right. Rosebud, thank you so much for coming on. We really appreciate. We love you. Best to you.

It was honestly a pleasure and we will talk to you soon. Thanks for coming. My pleasure. I'll talk to you soon. Thank you. Bye bye. Okay, Brian, let me give the people what they want. Our social media handles.

The show is going on. Rosebud is so fucking hilarious.

She's the bad. I can't believe she's got a two-month-old kid and she's coming on the fucking commercial break. A two-month-old kid, I'd be hiding in the closet. So this is the dad had the baby out. I love how she's too. We asked how old the baby was, and she was like two months. I don't even know how many weeks, and I just decided to do the weeks.

And I told her before we started the interview, I said to her, I said, when your first baby, you got to mark every week of her story. You got to mark with another $1,000 all of free people dress, because that's just a trendy thing to do. But don't worry, if she decides to go there, if she has the third one or the second one, she'll quickly forget about that weekend.

The second one becomes month of nurseries, and then the third one you do just years. You just do birthdays because you're like, they're not going to remember. Take a cute picture on the month of nursery and just leave it there. You don't need to dress them up and put a post and oh my gosh, my baby turned.

This little bundle of joy two months old. Yet we get it, kids grow up. That's what happens all the time. But she, like, you know, again, I say this every, the interview that we've done, I have so much to ask people and I just don't feel like 45 minutes is enough time. We're gonna have her back because I have so many more ask people, and I just don't feel like 45 minutes is enough time. We're gonna have her back

because I have so many more questions to ask about you. Yeah, and she's gonna come to Atlanta. She's doing a tour next summer. Yeah, next summer, and she's coming to Atlanta. So, so far we've got to see Veer. Yeah. We've got to see Heather. Yeah. And we've got to see Rosebud.

Yeah. And then I don't think Blair said she was not gonna do, she was gonna press pause. She was gonna take a little bit of time. Yeah. And then Felicia's just gonna come have coffee with us We're gonna go see some birds or something like that aren't we yeah, we're gonna see the birds see if we can pick them up Yeah, she was really good. Yeah, we ended up the 2023 on a high note

We had some guests and we've gotten some positive feedback I know we said we would never do guests, but we were just hiding it from you We were just preparing for the last four hundred. It did not go in the notebook. So that means it happens. That's right. Someone else actually is in charge of booking those guests. So that's why it's happening. Yeah, because we were not in charge of it.

Yeah. By the way, I got to say, because I think this will probably be the last interview we do this season, the one, the last one that we release We might rerun the stevo and impossibly Rose but whoever well we might run an interview or two But I could do have to say thank you to Pam who's the PR agent for a lot of these guests that have come on She's been great to us. So I won't say her last name So she's like inundated with hate mail, but I'll just say that thank you to Pam you know who you are

Pam and thank you so much to, but I'll just save it, thank you. To Pam, you know who you are, Pam, and thank you so much to Rose, but all the other guests that we've met. Pam the agent. Pam the PR agent. Yeah, she's good at her job. See you. Why?

Because she decided to send them over here. Not Conan O'Brien. Well, Conan O'Brien first, then the commercial break. That's what I've noticing. I'm noticing a trend here. Yeah, I mean, we're right up in that echelon. Save the best for last. That's all you gotta do.

Yeah, you start with Conan, and then you move up. Yes, and then you go back down. And then you die. You go right to the middle of the pack. Yeah. You go up on the ladder, and then you dive off the dive. That's right, you stop by Tom and Bert's show, and then you, and then you, and then you,

and to our pool. That's right, into the deep end. Bert's show and then you And then you are cool.
