Tom Brady calls viral Netflix roast major parenting mistake that left kids not pleased
During his appearance on the “Impaulsive” podcast, Tom Brady reflected on his major parenting mistake while speaking about his Netflix roast. When host Logan Paul asked if he regretted doing the roast, Brady confessed that the segment was extremely tough on his kids. The retired NFL player shared how he and his children perceived the roast differently.
Brady revealed that the roast felt like he was in a “locker room,” further sharing that he loved the people making fun of him since he didn’t mind laughing at himself. However, the former quarterback understood that the roast was “hard” to watch for the kids. Calling his actions a parenting “f— up,” Brady admitted that he realized his mistake a little too late. By the time he caught hold of his children’s feelings about the roast, the damage was already done.
Brady shared that after the Netflix roast, everyone, except his kids, was on “cloud nine.” Despite having an immensely popular roast to his name, the sports broadcaster disclosed that his conversation with kids about the segment was like a “stake to the heart.” Given that the roast targeted his exes, Gisele Bündchen and Bridget Moynahan, he recalled that the kids were upset because they were protective of their parents.
Brady recalled his kids asking him, “What was the point of that [roast]? Why did you do that?” He also noted how there wasn’t a manual for perfect parenting, which led him to evaluate himself as a parent all the time. The former football star further noted that he would “live” and “learn” from the experience.
“The Roast of Tom Brady” featured stars like Kim Kardashian, Kevin Hart, Nikki Glaser, and more.
