A year after being the subject of “The Greatest Roast of All Time” on Netflix, Tom Brady is speaking out about his regrets.

While a guest on Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast, Brady called his involvement in the roast a parenting fail.

“It was tough on my kids for sure,” Brady told Paul, saying it “was really hard” on all three of his kids: 17-year-old Jack Thomas, whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan, and 15-year-old Ben and 12-year-old Vivian, whom he shares with ex Gisele Bündchen.

The 7-time Super Bowl champion shared that he does have some regrets when it comes to the roast, primarily how it affected his three kids.

“There’s some things as a parent you (mess) up, and you don’t realize until after. We’re not perfect parents. You’ll see as you grow up, there’s no perfect manual for it,” he told Paul, who became a parent for the first time seven months ago.

Despite his regrets, however, Brady said he “really enjoyed” himself during the roast, calling the performances “incredible” and noting that he didn’t take himself too seriously.

“When you were in that moment, in that theater that night at the Forum, it was electric. It was crazy. We got done, everybody was on Cloud 9. I think that moment I’ll never forget,” he said. “And then I’ll never forget when I talked to my kids the next day. I felt like a stake through the heart, understandably.”

Following the roast, Brady recalled his kids asking him “what was the point” and “why did you do that?”

“They’re protective of their mom, of their dad, of everybody,” Brady continued.

However, Brady hopes that his kids were able to take something from the experience, saying “getting toughened up is a good thing” and people gain “empathy.”

“I gained a lot of self-confidence and self-esteem dealing with adversities and overcoming them,” he said. “[But] you don’t want to see your kids hurt because you can’t do anything about it.”

“For me, as a parent, you’ve got to be available, and you’ve got to be present. That’s when the parenting happens. Not in the big moments. A lot of times it’s the small moments,” Brady added.
