- Let's start with the Super Bowl.
It was noticed, afterwords, after the game
that Tom Brady and Robert Kraft, the team owner,
had an embrace on the field
and there was a lot of conjecture over whether,
you know, Brady and Kraft were kissing on the lips.
People thought that was a little strange.
- They look like they were about to, they both went into a
like, kind of say something at the same time,
and I believe that they have, for sure, kissed on the lips.
At some point.
And that's just, you know, that's
like a long term male friendship,
I'm not even gonna fault him for that.
I'm just like, where was Papa John?
You know what I mean?
You win the Super Bowl,
you're looking around for Papa
and I don't know if it's because of the scandal recently,
but Papa John's not there, and I think when you see
someone as successful as Tom Brady,
almost kiss Robert Kraft on the mouth in front of
millions of people, you've got to blame Gisele.
- Oo.
- You know what I mean,
Gisele's not taking care of business, you know.
If your husband needs a kiss
you better give it to him.
Or else he's going to Kraft.
And it's just like, no matter how hot someone is,
no matter how many millions of dollars
she makes as a supermodel,
someone's sick of her and it's her husband.
- Mm when I was googling this to see the clip,
cause you know, I hadn't watched it,
I wasn't watching TV at the time, there was also-
- You love to talk about that as if like,
you not doing your job well is something to brag about.
- There's also a meme out there, or a kind of a picture,
which it turns out is photoshopped,
but snoops.com had to do a study of whether Brady
and Belichick kissed on the lips
after the Super Bowl too, cause someone
kind of combined a couple pictures-
- Is snoops.com different from snopes.com?
- I don't know, I don't know.
- Is it like snoops website of conspiracy theories?
- That would be an awesome website.
Cause I don't know if you remember,
there's kind of been a controversy over the years
that Brady, on his reality show,
you know, kisses his kids on the lips
and people just thought that was strange
and then there's been Super Bowls where
Tom Brady and his dad, you know, kind of kissed on the lips
and they're just like a family kiss on the lips,
that's the family, way they do things.
And they say that's normal and lots of families do that.
- What's your point?
- I don't know, that's surprising to me,
all of that that I just said is surprising to me.
- I think love is love, I'm all for it.
That's like the one thing I can't fault Brady for.
You know, is it a form of cheating on his wife?
Yes.
Has he cheated in every aspect of the game?
Including pliability.
I think pliability is cheating.
I think-
(laughter)
I think that these were non-kisses,
I think it just looked, like from the camera angle,
it looks like kisses,
they save it for the shows.
You know what I mean, all that champagne.
You're gonna kiss in the shower.
It's a fact.
Are you telling me no?
- I mean, I didn't, a lot of people are down there
in the locker room knowing, you would think
that would come out-
- How many people-
- Robert Kraft has a serious girlfriend, you know,
I think there'd be a problem for everybody.
- Still it's Super Bowl night,
53 guys on each roster,
53 guys on the Patriot's roster plus trainers,
plus owners,
someone's kissing in the shower.
(laughter)
It's statistics.
In fact, if there's one good thing that came out of
the Super Bowl, besides the first male cheerleader,
congratulations Los Angeles Rams,
to perform the Super Bowl would be
whoever kissed in the showers.
I think maybe that's why I'm so mad this year,
because of the Los Angeles Rams,
because I live in Los Angeles.
Everyone around LA has just been head down.
- Yeah (laughter)
- Trying to figure out what's going on.
It is-
- Its a dower mood around the city right now,
people having a hard time recovering.
- Can we please just move on to the story that
I can get into, that I can sink my teeth into.
- Liam Neeson got into a little hot water this week
in an interview promoting his upcoming movie.
He said, when looking for inspiration for the role,
for the sort of rage that he needed to feel
he remembered back, decades ago, when a friend of his
was raped.
And when that happened, decades ago,
he said for weeks
he would go around on walks
looking for
any black bastard, and that's using quotes, his quotes,
to come out of a pub and have a go at him about something
so that he could kill them.
- Yeah, he wanted to,
he would walk around black neighborhoods,
predominately African neighborhoods,
hoping that someone would step to him
so that he could kill the man as revenge
for his friend's rape.
And listen, a lot of people are calling him racist for this-
- Yeah!
- He came out today and clarified
that he was like, I was kind of admitting
my racism, and then like,
after walking around for a couple of weeks
with this in my head, I realized I'm wrong,
this is crazy, he shouldn't have said it,
but I'll say this-
- He said he was walking around with,
like a bat, essentially, like a shiv.
- What do you call it, it's a causic?
- A coosh, a cosh-
- It was something that I didn't understand what it was.
- A Cosh.
- The Irish, and the Irish are not known for their racism,
so this was, this really stood out,
that Liam Neeson would say something like this.
But I remember just after college,
this is probably right after you'd left Greg,
one of my friends was raped
by a half Pilipino half Italian man
and for, I would say, six months,
every night I would just walk around
with a can of mace and a cigarette lighter,
trying to find anyone who was half Italian half Pilipino.
And it got to the point at the end of six months
that I would just ask people
if they were part Italian and Pilipino,
and hope that someone would answer me.
And the first person who answers me would have gotten
a coosh right across the face,
but it a, it never happened.
I just love-
- What is, how do you ask that?
- Hmm?
- How do you ask, how did you ask that?
- It's exactly the same as it is in english, surprisingly.
The Pilipino language is a lazy language,
they pretty much just took english
and just used that,
for the most part.
I just think it's like really funny to be promoting a movie
where you drive a snow plow and kill people,
that you would ever let this be brought up.
But he brought it up, no one was like,
hey, did you ever, has any of your friends ever been raped?
And if so, who did it and how did you react?
He brought this up during a press tour
for a movie that, I mean, unless,
the only way this could have been funnier
is if it'd been an animated movie.
(laughter)
That he went into this for.
Listen, Liam Neeson's a great guy, everyone loves him.
- Is he?
- Yes.
- How do we know he's a great guy?
- Because you can't be around this business for this long
without horrible stories coming out
and remember the time he was on ESPN live?
And didn't know what the hell they were
talking about for five minutes?
That was amazing.
Do you remember this Erica?
- I don't.
- Oh my god, the ask him about like Tim Tebow,
he's like we should start over.
Like, we're live, what do you think about Tim Tebow
and he's like, he's might as well just be
speaking French to me right now,
and they just, there's no question they can ask him,
I think he only knows soccer, and Irish soccer at that.
- I mean, but the thing is, okay he said it,
you're right, he did initially say,
you know, it taught him a lesson, basically,
after four to five times of doing this,
he realized like, what the fuck are you doing,
like you shouldn't think like this.
But it's insane that he thought that,
it's insane that in the first place
and I even wondered, like,
is there any chance he's just making up this story,
to like, be like a cool actorly story
about motivation and then he found himself,
like, really trapped in a corner
that he couldn't get out of, cause he's a crazy person.
- That's possible, and he also,
I mean he was in his twenty's, early twenty's at the time,
when you're like stupid and make mistakes,
very racist mistakes, like,
I'm not even going to get into what pulled in Atlanta,
but when you're in your twenties, you know,
you don't get a pass, but it's a little more understanding,
it wasn't like he was like-
- No, no.
- So I was promoting Love Actually and
I decided to walk around looking for black people.
- No, no, you don't get a pass on that,
that's like the people that are giving the pass on,
you know, the group of kids that, you know,
were going after the Native American at that rally,
I forget what that, you know,
what the name of those kids are.
I mean, he was in his twenty's,
you should not be in twenty's walking around
with like a stick, just wanting to beat up some,
and kill a black person.
It wasn't like he was looking for the specific guy
who raped his friend, he was just looking for anyone.
- Yeah, you don't get a pass,
but if you make it to your seventy's and you tell the story,
it's not like oh, this guy should be fired,
you know what I mean.
Like if those kids make it to seventy and they're like,
you know I did a lot of great things
but one time I was at this rally and
I got in a Native American's face, like,
I agree with you 100%, but I think,
when you're, he's like late seventy's.
- But he's still making like action movies
about killing people with snow plows.
- Still?
He just made the one.
I forgive him and I'm going to see the snow plow movie.
