but I made that sacrifice and they appreciated it and you haven't seen the
documentary right about your no run for I mean I imagine that would be like
fucking stressful as fuck for you to watch it the main reason I haven't seen
it is and I don't have to talk about it I'll say this as a person that just
watched it where I haven't seen it's it's incredible I mean it but like it
wouldn't be the way I'm watching it as like this is incredible doc like a film
you wouldn't feel the same way because obviously it's your life right and it's
and it's you in an incredibly stressful moment of your life yeah that's
probably
you know about the sandwich the sandwich oh you don't even know well you could
say
anything is in the movie I would not know there's a moment on election day
there's
a moment on election day it's like the greatest actor in the world could go to
Juilliard and they could study acting for 40 years and not eat a sandwich in a
moment of stress like you ate that sandwich you ate you were like it was
election day you were like everything's fucked and you were eating this like
Philly cheesesteak or something it's like the way that Tony would go into the
fridge and just like what eat deli yes right you right I was falling apart as a
as a
as a viewer yeah it's an incredible story because there there's a turn in the
middle of it right I haven't seen it man don't I'm not telling you to see it I'm
just well you're asking me to get into like the experience of seeing it no it's
not about that's not what I'm asking about I said obviously don't see it please
don't see it um that that would suck uh but like at the beginning of the
documentary uh they they detailed what the first scandal was which was the
accidental suite right um and the first thing that came to mind to me by the
way
what would you think your audience knows about you one of the great questions
stop condescending the audience no I'm asking you because we're having this
conversation as if the audience is completely tuned in on what my scandal
was and was not it happened a long-ass time ago okay then they should watch the
documentary I don't fucking know dude it doesn't matter what they know it
matters
if we're having an interesting conversation fair enough okay what do you
think they don't know it's just a because this is a little bit of a meta
question I'm experiencing in my life let me just finish my thought is that like
I'm
now in this process of of returning to public life to some degree and some
people are really tuned into my scandal like how are you doing this with your
scandal and some people like what what are you even talking about when you talk
about your scandal what people are saying that no there are a lot of people who
for 2000 is the longest I'm in New York City I think that you I know that or
yeah you it's a Roy said just you to some degree you're in that first camp but
there are a lot of people in the second camp that I experienced that when I
start to talk about it they're like what was that tell me tell me about the
scandal again so I'm refreshed like like the the dude at Wingstop I sent my son
to
pick up an order at Wingstop and they're like tell your dad he should run for
governor again that was ridiculous how do you know his son how do you know
it had my name Anthony Weiner on the thing and they thought I was Elliot Spitzer
they
conflated the two confused or conflated they confused the two stories yeah you
guys should be on a ticket a little bit spit spit we spitzer wieners you know
so
okay that doesn't work okay okay so I go back to the I'm going back to the
White House thing in the ACA that there's a moment at the beginning of the
documentary that details the first scandal and there's and then they play a
clip of Obama saying if it were me I would resign right God and it was kind of
like I like the thing I picked up on was like oh the president kind of like
yeah
took the shot right and I was wondering if that that if the origin of that was
like through from the ACA or from like something else that had happened you
know
in Washington DC that had nothing to do with this where it's like there was
tension between you in the White House I was not a particularly popular person
in
Washington why not because Washington doesn't it has a weird relationship with
ambition so like young are you talking about it's I'm about to finish you that
seems like the politics what do you mean you're really everyone's like this
that
seems like a bullshit said it didn't seem like the end of my thought though
yeah
but yeah I'm telling you it's a bullshit sentence you let me know when I can
continue my thought and maybe you can draw a conclusion about the thought when
I'm
done with it I'm helping you out here you're not you're like the Lee Harvey
Oswald stories you're like just sniping at me while I'm talking can I continue
so
Washington has a weird relationship with ambition in that people get rewarded
obviously for being ambitious they run for Senate but if you're someone who
thinks well this guy's not waiting in line he's out there doing things on on on
cable that we didn't think of doing he's jumped over five members of Congress
to
run for mayor etc etc that's the people don't like that institutional people in
Washington don't like that now maybe voters do and maybe donors do and other
and
maybe TV producers do but other politicians don't so the fact that I was a
relatively my backbencher and I was someone who had become this spokesman for
and against Obamacare and for single-payer and everything else there were there
was a
little bit of like you're too big for your britches kind of vibe you were
getting air time too you know and I was getting air time it said yeah and so
people would be there was insiders who were like who is this fucking guy that
kind of names who were the guy who was doing it I think that there were time my
colleagues here in in the New York delegation didn't like that I was
running for mayor when I had only been in office for a few years and was being
successful at it so there is that tension as well and then the executive
branch doesn't it was it Gerald Nadler Nadler was not a big fan of mine
he still is still grimaces at me when he sees me well I think he just looks
like
he's grimacing always
you know he pooped his pants I thought it was you me McConnell and Nedler
okay anyway zooming out right the assumption is for a long time is that that
power and
celebrity and powerful men is a is an aphrodisiac that women are attracted to
power
powerful men oh my god we celebrate we celebrate our like JFK like I think it
was a 2011 it was indicative of a shift in society I think if a congressman a
congressman's underpants with a with a little bit of a fright you know okay you
know print was tweeted out in 2025 what I would say is it wouldn't make the top
hundred news stories probably this year that's right so it represents an
intersection between of like an old kind of New York tabloid press which is
like
that was kind of an old world thing correct and then the new world
introduction of technology in that's one version the other version is it was a
relatively slow news period and I'm a guy named Wiener who tweeted out a
picture of his dick so there's that first guy to know I'm saying that they're I'm
not just I'm not dismissing that idea I'm saying that there was an element of
it but Matt Yates fucked the kid right and if his name was Matt kid fucker
