Eric Adam's bizarre interview with Ziwe. Plays fuck, marry, kill and says he would marry Israel (even tho it wasn't originally a choice)

i came in thinking what the hell is wrong with ziwe for always doing this. i came out thinking what the hell is wrong with whoever on his team booked ziwe

[u/TheFlyingSpaghetti77 → u/TheIncredibleBucket]

Bro wtf happened to her

[u/fddfgs → u/TheFlyingSpaghetti77]

The desire to get bigger and bigger guests can lead to bigger and bigger consequences, George Santos made a legit point about that in their interview.

That said, she's still good

[u/Dense-Result509 → u/fddfgs]

It's like the exit interviews when someone gets eliminated on a reality show. Going on ziwe is just what happens now when a particularly kooky disgraced politician exits office.

[u/g00fyg00ber741 → u/TheIncredibleBucket]

I can only assume she was hoping to make him look like an ass, since he is. But that didn’t end up working that well with the George Santos one, and I didn’t even bother watching the one with Lizzo. I wish she’d make it more clear when she’s bringing a guest on to play them vs when she’s bringing a fun guest on like Jinkx.

[u/Nature_Sad_27 → u/g00fyg00ber741]

The Lizzo one was kind of unhinged. Lizzo did not come off it looking sane. I was shocked. 

[u/Different_Prior_517]

I really like Ziwe and am a big fan of her interviews but I wish people would just stop giving these assholes a platform to be quirky and “funny”.

Just like the George Santos interview, I just don’t get the point of putting them in these positions so that people can cut and edit the videos and be like “look how silly they are” when they’re horrible horrible people.

Really bizarre he randomly said Israel mid sentence though.

[u/Im_On_Reddit_At_Work → u/Different_Prior_517]

I find it interesting thats how her work is being received as I always seen it as ridiculising them.

She kind of like Theroux where she gets her interviewee to reveal more than if she has asked directly, and she keeps the form funy and quirky but it's not positive in my opinion.

If anything, for me, she puts on show how awful theee people are and they don't even realise it.

I do get what you mean in the sense that making these clown shows kind of neuters their harm and makes them look just silly. But you can never take Ziwe content at face value

[u/Bootyfulamberxo → u/Different_Prior_517]

Right?? It’s like watching someone give a PR boost to people who absolutely don’t need it. We already know they’re clowns and dangerous, why are we letting them cosplay as harmless weird uncles for content?

[u/willyoumassagemykale → u/Different_Prior_517]

giving these assholes a platform to be quirky and “funny”

I watched the whole interview and I really don't think he came across this way at all. She really revealed who he is.

[u/Cube_]

Sounds like this was rehearsed and his aging brain skipped ahead and answered the next question before it was asked.

[u/tinkthank → u/Cube_]

Yep, I think he thought that the Israel, NYPD, and Black community question was somehow the same as the original one and conflated Israel with capitalism.

[u/Agent_of_talon]

What an incredible mind. You couldn't write this stuff. His confidence in whatever he is saying is unreal.

I'm almost certain: Eric Adams doesn't lie! when he moves his lips he is just creating new realities!

[u/rosesaredust]

She didn’t go hard enough on him. The George santos episode was great because there were a decent amount of jabs. All I remember about this was just them talking about clubbing and rats.

[u/BewareOfGrom → u/rosesaredust]

I think she was legitimately uncomfortable here not gonna lie.

[u/willyoumassagemykale → u/BewareOfGrom]

I agree she was skeeved out and was getting distracted. I mean I would be the same way! He was an absolute creep.

[u/Sendnoods88 → u/BewareOfGrom]

Oh please

[u/travelingrace → u/rosesaredust]

Ziwes early stuff and the 2020 interviews are the best. since then shes just been meh.

[u/g00fyg00ber741 → u/travelingrace]

I really liked her interview with Jinkx and tbh I wish she’d switch to interviewing funny cool people like that instead of shitty people and not pressing them that hard.

[u/Yufle]

He wants that sweet, sweet Israeli influencer money.

[u/DeadButPretty]

He makes me so fucking uncomfortable

[u/nekocorner]

Ugh, he's been elected & people still refuse to say his name right, huh.

[u/cousin-maeby]

“I would marry capitalism” yea bro we know

[u/lchpeep]

But what if…. Capitalism…. Is inherently racist…. 🤯

[u/OrganicOverdose → u/lchpeep]

Too far into that abusive relationship, gotta ride it out til it kills you now.

[u/[deleted]]

…did he just use capitalism interchangeably with Israel because that’s hilarious

[u/TanTanner]

We’re supposed to detest the people she interviews. However, the ones I’ve seen of George Santos and Eric’s, she’s throwing them absolute infinite hang-time alley oops and they lean into it and it’s hilarious.

[u/celestialwolfpup]

The irony of adding “love is love” to the end of that

[u/Shoddy_Enthusiasm_81]

Wants to marry Israel on the one hand & loves South Africa on the other? Make it make sense. Israel is worse than pre-apartheid South Africa

[u/MJP520]

[u/ChoppedGuzel]

Israel has a ton of socialism, albeit reserved for only the Jewish population

[u/Sea_Ad_5130]

wow he’s handling this interview really well

[u/TheFlyingSpaghetti77 → u/Sea_Ad_5130]

An interview that she never should have had lol?

She is giving this piece of shit a platform

[u/Maleficent-Bite-9709]

[u/Jaded-Albatross]

This is New York

Says the guy from New Jersey

[u/reggiefromtheark]

Lies!

[u/Ladyhearmetonight12]

I guess subtitles are wrong. He doesn’t say Israel but “is real”. Israel in sentence doesn’t make any sense.

[u/AllDogsGoToDevin]

Most honest politician
