ANTHONY WEINER Talks Scandal, 2016 Election, Hillary Clinton

I get it sometimes I critique what question you're asking and you do this thing
of like this is not good for you to make fun of your host on the show it's all
working I'm like alright I get it I have not seen the documentary but you leave
the documentary so I'm going to ask you a question because I saw it you don't
need to set it up as the documentary when I haven't seen it if I did it in real
life you can just say I understand you're the one wasting time right now fair
enough
hello America my name is Adam Friedland
I'm extremely excited to welcome you to the premiere episode the new season of
the Adam Friedland show on a weekly basis I will be releasing episodes where I
sit down with some of the world's most important and interesting people and for
our first guest I was joined by none other than current candidate for New York
City Council and former congressman Anthony Weiner now it would be easy for me
to prepare for my guest like a tabloid fixture but let's not forget
Wiener is a seasoned and accomplished politician and above all else a human
being so in order to prepare I decided it was necessary for me to sit down with
an expert on human psychotherapy and I may have even learned a little bit about
myself in the process so without further ado this
a red rose and a romantic novel that's how I told my guest to identify me today
amongst the hustle and bustle of the highline one of New York City's many
hidden gems I was here to meet James Foley a renowned psychotherapist to the
rich and powerful people of the highline
one of New York City's many hidden gems I was here to meet James Foley a
renowned psychotherapist to the rich and powerful if anyone could help me get
into the psychology behind Wiener it was James after a brief stroll through the
neighborhood we sat down in my Hudson Yards penthouse to discuss the
psychological profiles of the men that have shaped our world I'm James Foley I'm
a psychotherapist I treat men for sexual
misbehavior such as various misbehavior such as affairs uh hiring sugar babies
and things like that tell us where we can find you do you have an Instagram uh
www.sexuallycompulsive.com what what's the what's the general profile of your
of your client yeah so my practice is composed of high functioning men you know
like CEOs guys who run to banks yeah uh film directors um uh art even high-end
artists musicians um I've had elected officials
let's say like a man sends just like a pic like a picture of his erection like
under his underpants but he's like I'm not showing full meat like is that like
in a psychological process is like well if I'm not showing full meat then you
know what I mean yes so he's like but then obviously his wife sees that he's
like well obviously it's legal if I'm just showing dick print but no full meat
you know what I mean
yeah people who engage in these things will make deals with themselves yes they'll
make a bargain with
themselves and and obviously get themselves hurt with that bargain that doesn't
yeah really make sense okay
what is the difference between when a man cheats and a woman cheats you kind of
indicated something
but a lot of our programming as as men and and for women as women like it's
different and and uh a lot of
our programming is behind our um irrational behavior so you you and I are guys
we got different programming
typically than than than a woman would get and then but they cheat they've they
oh I'm not saying they don't
cheat but a lot of them do cheat yeah I mean nobody's immune from that there's
no gender uh but the idea is
what's behind what's powering it can be different so why would it like why
would a girl cheat on her boyfriend
like if he's like especially if he's a great guy and stuff I wouldn't know um
you know I you know
what if he's a broad brush kind of thing it's just but it's not so it's
and there it was straight from the horse's mouth women cheat too and with that
in mind I was finally ready
to take on my biggest challenge to date Anthony Wiener pause
our next guest is a former congressman he was the youngest ever elected member
of the new york city
council he's run for mayor twice and currently he is running in 2025 for city
council please welcome
anthony wiener everyone let's get some energy in this room
hi hello hello it's my pleasure to be here we talked on the phone for 10
minutes we did yeah it was a good talk you want this in your cup so we can oh
no it's already got water we have water in the cup and I would appreciate it if
you just uh featured no that's what I thought yeah yeah I thought so this is
like yours is white mine is black like spy versus spy style yeah so you're a
big fan of the show
this one yes maybe the biggest I tells you a little something about the show
but yeah dozens of emails
actually your email style is very funny
because you just it's you just go last name no like sincerely correct oh yeah I
think there's a lot of wasted words generally in the world
yeah yeah like that's why I like that your show is about eight minutes it's
quick in and out were you like a last name guy like with your friends it's kind
of a wiener kind of lends itself to that right you know so yeah I mean
yeah so growing up you were a wiener to your boys yeah I saw your I saw your
Patrick bet David had you heard of that guy see this is what that guy is
amazing I saw a video of him recently where he's like four years ago technology
three years pandemic two years ago vaccine this year AI technology
yeah he just says sentences like that and like guys are like yeah I'm gonna pay
$10,000 to go to the seminar yeah and he's a billionaire now no I ask these
questions because I'm on terrestrial radio
so you went there you didn't know who the fuck that guy was no I mean I'm not
saying like I didn't do anything to get I got on a plane and flew down there
but it's more kind of like the season of yes of saying yes to argue with people
and
and um so I didn't quite and I had a certain at once I looked it up a little
bit and I saw that there was no it was just just a person who this rent I would
became kind of fascinated to understand what exactly was going on because I try
to I'm trying to understand this a little bit like
this is okay I uh you don't think you you're a kindred spirit with him in terms
of what you're trying to do like
no but certainly not not not on substance not on substance but in general like
people want to look at interesting shit nowadays we don't really care what it
is
the objective with our show is this right there's the internet makes someone
should have told me this sentence before but go ahead
I actually did no no no I'll tell you this right now I talked to him on the
phone he's like and he's like and you make money from this and I was like well
you know we were on a podcast for morons for eight for six years and then the
fat one left to do crowd work
and um so then we changed it because I was kind of the schmuck I was the nebbish
and uh we rebranded it to make me uh into an intellectual talk show host
and then he he you this was amazing what you did you let like a little pregnant
pause after my whole
soliloquy he goes and you go well you took me on quite the journey there but um
you did not in any
way shape or form answer my question no I didn't do I don't say way shape or
form I don't think people
talk like that I just said you I didn't get the answer you were like vis-a-vis
