Inept autocrats. Baby Hitler. Osama Bin Laden's favorite soccer team. These are just a few of the many topics that Mehdi and Adam Friedland talked about on the new episode of 'We're Not Kidding'. The comedian and host of the wildly popular YouTube talk show, 'The Adam Friedland Show', sat down with Mehdi in New York City for a chaotic yet vulnerable conversation about Israel, U.S. politics, and some of Adam's most viral interviews. But first, Mehdi needed to argue about the World Cup. Even though they come from different backgrounds, Mehdi and Adam bond over their shared profession of interviewing defensive politicians. One of Adam's most viral interviews , with Bronx Congressman Ritchie "AIPAC Guy" Torres, was of particular interest to Mehdi. "You got very emotional there. Did he make you like that? Did the situation in Gaza make you like that?" Mehdi asks. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. The two also discuss: Adam's family history in South Africa. How Stephen Miller might have turned into a fascist (he and Adam went to school together). Trump's influence on the World Cup. Adam's experience working in an Israeli ambulance service. Getting Scott Jennings to admit he's a "performer." Whether Adam should run for president. And many, many, many, other things… This interview was published 7 days earlier on Zeteo.com.
