It's a testament to the American dream that someone like Gavin Newsom can go from basically raising himself on Wonder Bread and macaroni and cheese can casually entertaining a group a a restaurant like The French Laundry. Newsom appeared on the All the Smoke podcast hosted by NBA champions Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson and told them of his background as a teen, eating macaroni and cheese, and hustling to pay the bills.
Gavin Newsom discussing his rough and tumble childhood on an NBA podcast is hilarious:

Gavin debuts his hip hop persona on an NBA podcast:

"It was about payin' the bills, man."
"Hustlin."
"I raised myself."
"Wonder bread and Mac 'n cheese. That's how I grew up, bro."

He and Hillary "I don't feel no ways tired" Clinton should do a podcast together about their rough-and-tumble childhoods.
Downright sociopathic. Gavin Newsom was Growing up Getty.

We're pretty sure they're laughing at him, not with him.
Did he mention this:
— Sherry (@SherKro) October 26, 2025
At age 25 he co-founded a winery in SF with investors including family friend Gordon Getty, son of oil magnate J. Paul Getty.
Made him a multi-millionaire by age 32.
Willie Brown was an early political mentor.
Those are some tough streets to conquer, Gav.
Did Newsom keep hot sauce in his purse?

Communists lie like they breathe. That’s why the long history of fake accents and fake backstories is so prevalent on the Left. They have nothing moral against telling the lie. The recipient has nothing moral against being told the lie. Everyone just marches on as if it’s normal. https://t.co/0unwN4LMRo

This is impossible to watch without secondhand embarrassment

Yeah, right.

The best friend to the heir of the J. Paul Getty fortune was subsisting on Wonder Bread and Mac'n Cheese.
Shades of Killary and her "Hot Sauce Pander."
"Is it working?"
Fake and pathetic.
It was all about the hustle.
This is unbelievable
— Options selling with Christian (@optionscjp) October 26, 2025
It really is unbelievable that a kid from the hood, like Newsom, who basically raised himself, managed to become a millionaire.
We're with the poster above … watching this gives some really second-hand embarrassment.
