"I was there, dude," Weiner told hosts Sid Rosenberg and Bernie McGuirk on Tuesday's episode of 77Abc Radio's The Bernie and Sid Show. "I know how it ends, and it wasn't pretty." The documentary Weiner captures the fall-out when the candidate accidentally shared an explicit picture of himself, meant for a woman with whom he'd communicated on Twitter.
