In this bit8 moments
  • Tim compares himself to Ryan Phillippe—fish in water versus fish out of water, like the Elephant Man walking around the Grove.
  • Tim didn't want Gavin Newsom to audit him, so he had to cancel Friendsgiving.
  • Tim notes the dinner was indoors with serious health officials and Newsom drinking wine and eating a tasting menu while the state burned.
  • The French Laundry dinner included the CEO of the California Medical Association and a lobbyist for doctors on November 6.
  • State officials claimed the dinner was for lobbying on behalf of California doctors and was held in accordance with state and county guidelines.
  • Tim jokes the only thing funnier would have been if Newsom was attending Chris D'Elia's birthday party at the French Laundry.
  • Newsom and guests ate French food elbow to elbow, allegedly outdoors but clearly indoors because it got cold.
  • Tim describes Newsom as just a good-looking pimp of a dude.
