How did Rosebud Baker write her memoir Fully Baked over five years?
I'm so excited to see you tonight.
What's up you guys? Welcome to another episode of First Date. My guest today is a comedian and an author and she has a new memoir coming out called Fully Baked. Help me welcome Rosebud Baker.
Aw, thanks. Tell me about your memoir. So I started writing this memoir when I was like, I guess it would have been five years ago. I was in Austin, actually, when I got the book deal. And I was like, yeah, I can do that. And then I started, like six months later, I got a job writing for SNL. And I was like, oh, this is gonna take a little bit longer than I thought. And then I got pregnant and I was like, actually, it's going to take like maybe a little bit longer. And then I had a baby and I was like, oh, you know what? This is going to be real late. And so it took me an insane amount of time to write. And like everything was so crazy while I was writing it that I basically wasn't I was like, how do I even delve into my past when my current like present is just so all consuming?
Yeah. So what ended up happening was when I was pregnant, I started remembering parts of my life that I had completely forgotten because pregnancy just does weird shit to you like that. And also just having a kid, you start to look back on your own life in a way that you never really looked at it before. And so I start every chapter with like a different – moment in either my efforts to get pregnant or my failed efforts to get pregnant or like IVF or and then like my eventual pregnancy, which happened without IVF and and then like giving birth and all of these moments are like sort of a portal into like. like a story from my past. Um, so that's kind of how I decided to like write it. Um, yeah. Yeah.
And is it, it's, it's about your past. It's about my whole life. It's about, um, you know, growing up in like a political family and, the stuff that goes along with that. Um, it goes into like alcoholism and getting sober and, um, how insane I was afterwards, like all the mistakes that I made as a sober person, which were arguably just as bad as like the ones that I made drunk. And then starting comedy and getting a job at SNL and meeting my husband in the New York comedy scene and getting married and having a kid with him. How did you meet him? I met him at a New Year's Eve party at Bar Matchless in 2017.
I don't know what that bar is.
It's like a show that we used to do. There was a show. It was run by Nimesh Patel, Mike Denny, Kevin Barnett, and rest in peace, and Michael Che. So it was like the four of them. And it was like a really shitty show. It was like a really bad show. But we all, everybody would go. So it was like a show that... there were maybe like 13 people in the audience and they never really were good. But we would watch each other on the show.
Yeah.
And yeah, it was just one of those things that I don't even know if the New York scene really has as much anymore. I feel like Austin has more of that than New York now, where it's like a younger scene where like everybody's friends and everybody, it's all sort of, concentrated to one area geographically so like if you're going from one show to another you sort of caravan with whoever you're with um that's just something that i don't even know if that's true about austin but it feels like that maybe yeah um anyway so yeah it was i met him like we all celebrated new year's eve at this bar and met him there and that was not when we started dating we started dating a long time after that but How did you guys reconnect?
I feel like I should mention that we are separated before we get too deep into this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, before we get into this... Good to know. I'm like, before it gets too cute, I don't want to, like, bring everybody down. But, yeah, we reconnected, like... months or I guess like years later I was out in LA and he kept offering to like do stuff for me like you know like he was like like we weren't staying in the same area or anything he just kept like offering to like drive me places and do stuff and I was like I kept being like no I'm good I'm fine and then
