In this episode of Gimme Shelter, Matt and Liam discuss the housing bills on their way to Gov. Newsom and what they mean for California housing politics and policy (no guest this week). First, an Avocado of the Fortnight asks who hasn't been hit with a menstrual product at least once in their life? (3:00).
