A podcast clip from earlier this year featuring Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom is going viral again, and for good reason: it’s pure comedy gold.
The two Democratic governors sat down for an episode of This Is Gavin Newsom back in March, and during their 50-minute conversation, they briefly shared their thoughts on masculinity. Yes, masculinity. The irony already writes itself.
Because real men sit and talk about masculinity all the time.
In the now-viral clip, Walz claimed that the critics who come after him aren’t upset about policy differences or leadership failures. No, Walz said it’s because they “feel threatened” by his brand of masculinity. “I think some of us scare them,” he told Newsom, adding, “I think I scare them a little bit. That’s why they spend so much time on me.”
He was dead serious, too.
But, I don’t think even Newsom believed him because he started laughing. And Walz had to snap back with, “No, I’m serious!”
During their conversation, Newsom set the stage by talking about “toxic masculinity” and the need to separate it from masculinity itself.

Walz was supposedly a football coach once, yet he didn’t know that you

Well they do scare me. But its because they are vicious nasty monsters. Like poisonous spiders.
and.....they’re gay!
If anything Waltz scares them in a drag queen/poofty fairy kind of way.
Hey Timid Timmy, do you still browbeat your family?
They’re BOTH corrupt, lying, money grubbing pussies!
Is his identity a Command Sergeant Major of artillery?
And they said Kamala Harris’ husband was redefining masculinity...he can’t hold a candle to these guys.
Such a great show. “Don’t be mad ‘Twan!”
50 minutes? I couldn’t take 5 minutes of either of them, but both together? Not even 5 seconds.
