The following is an archived podcast presented by the Branson and Hudson Foundation for Podcast Recovery, a Charles Austin company.

It is the first and only episode of the podcast.

Welcome to episode one.

All right, guys, we've been talking about this for a minute, but we got to decide today.

Like I said earlier, Gavin Newsom's presidential campaign is gearing up,

and our current strategy is to get Gavin everywhere. In media and print, we need his exposure

to be through the roof. We're trying a lot of stuff. We got him giving some epic soundbites about

what is and isn't a sandwich. He's currently dating Katie Perry. He's saying Reddit words at Trump.

But this is a multi-front race, guys, and we have a very, very simple job to do today.

Going over the list here, we need to select three novels for the Gavin Newsom Book Club this summer

that will amaze people and cause them to think that Gavin is a sensitive,

artistic genius. I want this to go Obama levels of pop culture whitewashing. I want three

perfect books that Gavin can show to the world and make the world say, his taste is great.

Let's make him president.

All right.

Guys, of course, before we kind of get into the nitty gritty of it, Gavin can't be here today.

He's currently getting surgery on his haircut, but he did task us with finding his three

favorite books.

He wanted us to record it and he wanted

everyone present to state their names. I'll start with it. Hey, Gavin, I am Timmy Minneola, volunteer

for your campaign for 2028. I'm a professor at Ivy League University. Can you guys state

your guys' names for Gavin too? Yes, Edgar Dumpwink from CNN.com.
