Tim plays and reacts to actual audio from Newsom's podcast with Steve Bannon, riffing on the cheesy theme song and Newsom's attempt to relaunch his public image.
- Gavin Newsom is relaunching himself by interviewing Steve Bannon on a podcast-style show.
- Tim explains the relaunch strategy: when you've been in the public eye and people get sick of you because your policies made their lives hell, you rebrand.
- The new Gavin Newsom persona dismisses past controversies—crime, violence in cities—as 'not me' and presents himself as just a chill guy in a gray spare room.
- Tim notes that Newsom has decided to do a podcast instead of running California.
- Tim compares Newsom's podcast ambitions to the LA Olympics: nobody actually wanted it; people want to afford milk and not get assaulted, not the shot put.
