It's Friday, January 2nd, 2026.

From Peach Productions, it's the gist. I'm Mike Peska.

Wow, it's hard to say January 26th, isn't it?

Not just because you think it's the 25th,

but there's something about the second 26th. It's a little sibling. I'll have to

get on that. So I bring you another in the funny, interesting, fascinating guests I've had on.

Funny you should mention over the years. And she has Rosebud Baker. She is an S&L writer. She has done a couple specials. She's a mom. She talks about that. Her husband's also a comedian. He talks about being a dad. I feel if you triangulate their sets, you could learn a lot about a little boy Baker, little girl Baker. She's actually not a little girl. Part of her, Part of Rosebud's routine is how gigantic her daughter is.

She is also the granddaughter of James Baker, who is Secretary of State and Treasury

and one of the most important people in ending the Cold War, let's say.

And I was very excited to talk to Rosebud Baker about James Baker.

And she was less excited for me to talk to her about her grandfather, who I'm sure she loved.

He's since passed away.

She did love.

She says that.

But, you know, doesn't share his politics.

And that's not what she's accomplished.

So more than fair, what I will say is that I did share with the biographer, one of the two biographers,

co-husband and wife team, a writer named Susan Glasser, who now is the New Yorkers, I think

Washington Bureau Chief, and wrote the book on James Baker, some of Rosebud Baker saying,

oh, I didn't even know that my grandfather rubbed

Bush's feet as he was dying.

That's a good friend.
