I took a few years of German. Basic rule of thumb is that when you have the letter i followed by an e, the word is pronounced as if it were an e. When the letter e is followed by an i, the word is pronounced as if it were an i. Wiener is pronounced Weener. Weiner is pronounced Whiner. As nearly as I can tell, Weiner’s name is only pronounced Weener because he doesn’t like being called Whiner. But you are right, Weener or Whiner, he shouldn’t act loke one.
