“We're not perfect parents” - Tom Brady calls his Netflix roast a parenting ‘f*ck up’

Tom Brady, considered one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, appeared on the May 6 episode of the Impaulsive podcast, which is hosted by YouTube personality Logan Paul. The hour-and-a-half-long episode covered a range of topics, from Shedeur Sanders’ draft slide to the rivalry between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

Near the end of the podcast, the conversation touched upon a sensitive topic. The Netflix roast, The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady, which the NFL player featured in last year, came up. Brady admitted that during the Netflix live show, some parts of the roast may have been unfair towards his ex-wife. Brady also admitted that it was wrong on his part as a parent to participate in certain jokes, especially since his children felt hurt. He said,

“It’s tough on my kids for sure…I kind of went in there, look, you don’t know what to expect…And I didn’t realize, you know, there are some things as a parent you f*ck up and you don’t realize, until after, like, you know and you just, we are not perfect parents, like, you’ll see as you grow up, like, there’s no perfect manual for it. Like, you gotta evaluate yourself as a parent too all the time. So even though I really enjoyed the show and the performances were incredible.”

Continuing, Brady went on to add,

“I'll never forget when I talked to my kids the next day, and I was like, I felt like, you know, a stake through the heart.”

While acknowledging the hurt he caused his children, Brady reasoned,

“They’re protective of their mom, of their dad, you know, of everybody.”

Brady was referring to insensitive jokes made at his ex-wife, model Gisele Bündchen’s expense. Brady’s relationships and his former partners were a recurring topic of jokes by performers during the roast.
