- Published on May 12, 2025
- Big Big Day!! As the guys said, the end of our MixTape Era now the album drops....To kick off our new partnership with Fanatics, hosts Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder sit down with none other than the 7x Super Bowl champion and NFL icon, Tom Brady. While the world has seen glimpses of Tom's personality, most recently on Netflix's "Greatest Roast of All Time", The Pivot Podcast dives deep into who Tom really is off the football field and beyond the headlines and storylines.
Reflecting on last week and his takeaways from doing the roast with former New England teammates and coaches, Kevin Hart and other celebrity comedians, Tom is learning to let go of the control he used to have as Quarterback and learning to live in the grey area of life, learning but improving on the decisions he makes each day. Having some regrets by not looking at the full picture of the roast, he is focused on being the best parent he can to his 3 kids always. Fanatics and The Pivot gift TB with a special memorabilia from the 1981 NFC Championship that brings him back to the innocence of his childhood when his reality was just a dream but a dream ignited by passion for football and love for competition leading him to be one of the greatest to ever step on the field.
After commanding the field for 22 years, Tom became a master of the sport, but our conversation reveals how he continues to evolve as a man, friend, and father away from the game. He discusses the importance of personal growth and reflects on the lessons learned throughout his illustrious career with a strong focus on the quality time with his kids and being there for them in anyway possible.
Opening up about the profound influence his parents had on him, instilling his drive and motivation to succeed from a young age. From his humble beginnings to his meteoric rise in the NFL, Tom shares the difference makers in his life that kept him focused and determined throughout his career.

Ahhh yall better Roast the hell out of Ryan Clark about that White Party joke 😂😂😂 i mean Channing sure bt Ryan 😂😂 to funny
Naw that's his CTE at the wheel 🤔😢 The Pivot is Winning 💪💯🔥
A
After that roast Tom needs to be around some wholesome positivity 😂
He can cry in his Aston Martin on the way to his mansion
😂😂😂😂😂
that's a facts lol
😂😂😂😂
@@jaron312😅😅😅
He was ready to talk and needed some brotherhood. This is the first time I’ve heard him engaged, excited and open. Like it’s not the burden of another interview. I wish it was longer
Yeahh it felt a little short, but yeah exciting episode!
You are such a smart and wise woman. I agree 100%.
try and seek some more out hes done alot of awesome interviews and content over the last 3-4 years honestly
I started out saying, "Let me listen to 5 minutes." An hour later, I am sad it's over! I love Brady, but I could listen to these guys interview a rock. Best sports podcast by a lot...
@@bbd1920 same here ! I ❤️this podcast… the world needs more positive content
them boys got tommy
Jordan next
Crazy lol
Doesn't get too much more "Big Time" than that! Salute 💯
Deadasssss lmao
😂😂😂💯
Tom Brady isn't gonna do these interviews with everyone. Pivot is top 3 podcast. Period!
He should do a interview with Arenas
@@Minnis-km7oz😂😂😂
Tom so smart. The whole country hated him because he beat everyones team. So he does a roast lets everyone bash him so people are done going at him now he can just focus on being a broadcaster without being booed everywhere. Genius
His humility is by far the most impressive part about him. I'm just a regular dude working 7-3:30, watching sports everyday after work, and I feel like I could just watch a game and talk sports with him. Probably the most personable superstar (other than Gretzky) in any sport, all time.
He was also paid 25 million.....
@@jumpforjoy6lmao so he shouldn’t be paid for something? I’m confused, how many times have you gone to work for free?
Eli Manning looking at this like...😅😅😅
Nobody hates Tom
As a day 1 watcher. I’m so proud
Tom doing all these shows like the Roast and the Pivot because he’s trying to keep his name in the atmosphere. Since Pat won another championship a few months ago, Tom knows Pat will probably become the GOAT when it’s all said and done. So Tom is pulling an MJ like when MJ put out the Last Dance to try and stay at the forefront of people’s minds when it comes to the GOAT conversation
Same
@@peaceistheanswer275what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
Me too!
And there's a special appreciation of how this all came to be.
The biggest takeaway has to be what Tom had to say regarding his parents specifically his father. Oftentimes parents discourage their children because they can't wrap their mind around achieving that level of success when more often than not the child just wants that encouragement and approval of their parent.
If we all think back to our own individual childhood when we look at the times our parents didn't support us even if we were to have failed, having their support would have meant more than victory itself.
Right on.
What’s good chiseled!
Men
Growing up I would always look forward to those drives back home after football practice. My dad would drill me with all the things he saw me doing, the whole time he never realized he was my greatest coach.
This the boy love your your RUclips page It’s awesome. I just found a random comment from you as a Steelers fan it’s hard to like Tom Brady, but I respect him
They got Tom!!!!!! know this is about to be legendary so proud of where the Pivot continues to go 🔥
They all football players

@@peaceistheanswer275delusional lol stop reaching
@@mykv9912 🤣🤣 Facts! I read that comment above and like man someone is smoking that good stuff! Until Mahomes can have a come back like Brady did against the Falcons in the Super bowl he'll never pass Brady for me anyways. That Super Bowl cemented who the real GOAT was. Mahomes is great but I think he'll end up being #2 behind Brady.
The fact the pivot got Tom before Jules speaks volume to how far the Pivot has grown. Edelman been asking for Brady...even joked about it to Payton. I need Shannon Sharpe to do this next with Tom so it can be 3 hrs.
Tom Brady is a complete monster. He told the world that he was chasing Jordan. Complete warrior
And he passed him also. The two greatest ever to play anything!
Tom is really Captain America. He just the man….you can’t front! On and off the field! Damn near perfect!
Freddy T is just impressing me with candour every time and his interview skills are just becoming consistently brilliant. Keep up the good work.
That water-fast gave him that healthy autophagy glow
I don't care what he does I like him in general he is just a humble human.
Fred is Dope🤙🏾
And Miles Jack wasn't down!
He came a longgggg way
Love how Brady signed Channing's football "Congrats on getting lucky" 🤣🤣
I used to hate Tom Brady… only because he played for the Patriots who always were winning! Now that he is retired I actually miss the guy. I have so much memories and nostalgia with this cat on Madden games and IRL watching games on Sunday and all the SBs.
@Far7romthe bucs run where he had 4HOFers to throw to? 😂
He’s great but if that’s what did it for you then you probably don’t know ball
Yeah I hear you. As soon as he left the Pat’s and I got to see who he really was I was like that is my guy!!!! 👍🏾 God Bless my brother. 👍🏾
Lol, that’s how I felt about Kobe 😢
@Far7rom Tom Brady didn’t even inherit the same team from the Super Bowl year lmao they were 8-9…the bucs under baker was 9-8 which is obviously an upgrade
Like I said, the bucs Super Bowl yr, Brady had 4HOFers to throw to. He didn’t have that the year after kiddo
Miss me with that noise you’re making
@Far7rom I love how you edited this 4 times and in one of them you tried saying you were a giants fan 😂
I’m a die hard falcons fan.. TB broke our hearts.. but you got to respect this man…. He is a legend ..💯👌
I'm a die hard FALCONS FAN, 30 plus years. But I have nothing but respect for TB12...
die hard here too. if we had to blow the lead that horrific night.. i'm glad it was against him. GOAT
Your team not running the ball in the second half broke your heart. Tom just crushed it
As a die hard dolphins fan and season ticket holder for 29 years. I couldn’t stand TB12 but after this interview as a football fan it was an honor to be have the opportunity to see him play at all those home games in Miami and witness greatness. Im even more admirable of the person.
Your dolphins always gave him a challenge and didn't roll over like the bills or jets.
Everyone nfl team that Brady hasn’t played for feels this way
The pivot podcast is really good
I feel the same way as a jets fan dude really is the goat
Wildcat
Wtf Tom Brady,
Pivot podcast salute 🫡
I clicked so fast!!!!
Goat
Brandon Marshall sick rn 😭😭
@@SK-kp2qq sick ain’t even the word lol
pivot just made the biggest pivot. love it.
One of the rare interviews Tom has done. That just goes to show you the class and caliber of this awesome show.
I think he respects other sports guys the most. I've noticed that with him over the years.
His Howard Stern interview from 2020 was amazing too
I heard that he doesn't do interviews because he is self-conscious because he farts too much
The show honestly sucks, their guests make the show. Too much race baiting
Julian is mad as hell, Belichick goes on McAfee, Tom goes on here 😂
Tom Brady with his mindset Talkin football on Sundays will be Epic✊🏽
Love you guys. I am 80 year old mother, grandmother and great grandmother and I have been watching you guys from the beginning. My all-time favorite interview is with Mike Tomlin, but you guys knocked this one out of the park. I was always on the fence about Tom Brady, but I’m off the fence now this show gives you the opportunity to know a person. Again Love you guys.
Best comment ever. May God continue to bless your soul.
Love to see it. God bless you and your family 🙏
80 years old on youtube no life
GOD BLESS YOU🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️
My man Tom had something to say. Dropping jewels of life through sport talk.
freddy is such a good character, he asks super deep questions and questions that hit much harder then just surface level ones. Starting your questions off with asking tom about his mental health is a true show of how good of a dude that guy is
this will be a classic for sure
Respect to the Pivot for landing this!
“Them ninjas got Tom Brady on dat biiii” 😂 that’s exactly what I just said to myself!! Man it’s up!! Definitely happy for Freddy T!! Super humble and never got the recognition he deserved. Look how being humble pays off!! Great job fellas
The GOAT. There’s probably only one (living) person who I have never met before but love dearly for giving me so many years of great memories of watching football, and it’s TB12.
Football will never be the same for me again without him on the field.
Yeah I feel the same way. Il never forget watching the 28-3 super bowl.
Hated Tom Brady, as a Raven, and it wasnt until his 5th ring that i respected him. And now seeing his human side over the last 5 years or more, hearing how people who hated him and then hated how they loved him as a teammate. Made me like him even more. Then he won again then won at TB. He is the GOAT
Bro I never knew TB12 was this cool the NFL used to paint him as this villain but Tom is literally just one of the guys. I have a new found appreciation for him. Respect to the Pivot 💪🏾
I didn't realize he was seen as a villian😂 I've been a TB12 ride or die for 23 yrs. When he retired, I lost interest in the NFL 😂
Villian to everyone else who isn’t a patriots fans he’s our hero
Some players know how to turn it off. Football is what he did and not who he is.
Bill was the reason they were hated lol
@@taggangmemberboth!
It’s amazing how when Tom talks everyone listens with intent. Tom is very insightful.
The Pivot has actually and honestly changed my life. I love these dudes.
I wasn't a Patriots fan growing up but throughout the years I found myself cheering Tom on... Brady was such a ferocious QB..He could literally take a game over...I've seen that type of QB three times in my lifetime..Joe Montana, Steve McNair🙏 and Tom Brady... Thanks guys for another great episode..
Tom Brady is a cool guy. I never followed him but I knew he was good. My biggest respect for him was when he left Patriots and won a championship without them. Now that's what I called "I will prove you guys wrong" I can tell he has morals, character and values.
That's my boy Tb12 been a Patriots fan since 2001...When the won the Superbowl against all the odds....I didn't have a team to pull for so me pulling for the under dogs was right up my alley ..And 22 years later I could have ever imagine the success that Patriots would have .... Amazing run...Go Patriots...
Was reading the ESPN story about the Brady roast when they said, "Brady appeared on the Pivot Podcast." Immediately stopped reading the story and opened RUclips. Y'all finally got the GOAT on the show! 😀🐐
This may be one of the best interviews I've ever seen when it comes to a post career athlete. What a great moment in time.
How can you not like Tom? I am a Steelers fan always rooted against him (except when he was in Tampa) but nothing but MAD UNRELUCTANT RESPECT
I was not expecting them to have Tom Brady on today this is not a podcast this is like a regular tv talk show I love the pivot a great an very interesting interview blessing to you guys
This is massive, been here since the start of the pivot. Love to see the guys shining!
Winners stay on 🙌🏿
I will never understand why anyone would hate Tom Brady. He is the GOAt! You can't hate the man for being as great and blessed as he is! FAVOR ain't FAIR. He worked hard and deserved all the success!
Tom Brady’s intensity is off the charts 📈 and the crazy thing is he’s trying to contain it 😂😂😂
Psyco Tom is a real thing lol
Tom takes over interviews.. in a good way
What Fred Taylor said at the end to Tom was dope!!!
That was real I felt it
I love to hear men. Speak on their fathers being their hero. As a man who loves his dad. And my dad being my hero. I warms me to hear that
That’s the way it should be men’s should lookup to their fathers not mothers
Went to Tom Brady's roast now I'm here for this. Life's good
Spectacular interview! Fred, Ryan and Channing all with very different personalities but clearly are sharp and insightful. Tom would not have done the interview if he didn't respect all of them. He seemed very much at ease and glad to be there from the start to the finish.
This might be the most unexpectedly amazing episode. Tom seems to be a perfect fit in this environment. Glad he finally gets to do all this fun stuff
Tom really impressed me with his honesty. Hopefully his next phase of life is fun
I'm so proud of these guys! To get Tom Brady to be on your podcast after the roast before anyone else can interview him is genius.
Tom getting his full blown media personality running
It's his preseason before he's in the booth lol
@@JordanJMyers I know
I feel that
Right lol I fuck with it
I mean, when the NFL is working through a minority ownership deal between Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders, of course the media personality is going to be full bore
guy needs to make $$$$
The BEST of the very BEST. Tom Brady. 7× super bowl champion. GOAT
To be so successful but yet so humble is amazing
👀👀👀The Pivot has done it again!
THEM GUYS GOT THE G.O.A.T! TOM GOTDAMN BRADY!🔥🔥🔥💪🏾
💪💯
Kareem hasn’t done this show so I have 0 idea who you are referring to when you say goat
@@MeBihhhh Touche!🤷🏾♂️ 🏈 🐐
Born in New England i got to see this man dominate for years on TV and live at Gillette Stadium. Salute to the pivot for this episode
Same! Western Mass stand up!!
the whole of new england and foxboro real estate business felt it
What a great interview, Highest levels of respect for TB12, I'm a Raider fan so I hated and respected him at the same time !!!! GOAT !!!!!
Tom is a philosopher who leads by example and is humble with no arrogance and is teaching the less fortunate how to be a father and it makes me cry ❤️🌹🏈🙏🔥💋
Man i thought you guys couldn't do any better with the guests y'all had the past three years now y'all have the 🐐 Goat salute Ryan Channing and Fred this is going to be great and break the Internet for sure
CONGRATULATIONS ON FANATICS!!! You guys deserve it!!
This is the 1!! I don't think he's done any podcast interviews.
He's done them. He did Stephen A podcast
He went on Pat Mcafee. Lol
VicBlends did an interview with him on here as well.
He's done 2 of them
He was on PBD also
First time watcher. One of the best podcasts I’ve heard/ seen. Better than some famous radio hosts.
Super well organized, paced & thoughtful questions.
Great listeners - just let Brady talk & didn’t interrupt him/ their guest. Really Appreciated that no one spoke over each other
And the convo & questions flowed naturally. Great transitions & active listening (Which is so difficult to do & most interviewers not good at)
Great job!
I always leave their podcasts, feeling like I just had a conversation with my 3 best friends.
I can't believe this doesn't have 40 million views.
An honor to see the journey these guys been on. From cameos on I AM ATHLETE so starting their own business endeavors and having a podcast with some of the biggest celebs in the world. Excited for whats to come👏🏼👏🏼
Congratulations, my brothers. The Pivot got The G.O.A.T. And he's a cool a$$ joker too. I'm so proud of what The Pivot is accomplishing. Keep putting in that work. 👍🏾
I love how majority of us used to hate Tom and now that he’s retired and we see how cool he actually is, we all love him 😂
Don’t speak “ for majority of us” Not NE
@@sheilasmyth5874 Facts I'm not even a NE fan but I've always rocked with the 🐐🐐🐐
I'm a Steeler fan so I hated Brady but I have become a huge fan of his listening to him because his work ethic is everything I respect in life. I have to say I love the Pivot. This is my first episode and you guys are awesome. I can see you prepared and put the up front work in like the professionals you are. Mad respect for your accomplishments on the field and what you all do off the field. RC, you are the man and you and Troy are the best 1-2 safety combo ever in my opinion and I grew up watching my 70's Steelers.
I love that Tom is actually like the coolest guy ever
I love how they interview, I love how they play off each other. How real they are with each other. I cant say I am a super fan of football but I always tune in when they have a new guest.
Real talk… Tom Brady set the BAR HIGH w/ this ROAST!!! Dude is a 🐐 for sure!!!!
I'm locked in for this!!! PATS Nation!!
🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
I fw Tom. You can tell football is all he knows. He still wants to be out there
In the end all that matters is the respect of his teammates and his competitors! They knew how hard he worked and how much he cared! His efforts made others worked harder and together they all enjoyed amazing success. The Pivot podcast is outstanding. The right mix of three men asking some great serious and funny questions! Thank you for giving me something worth listening to.
The end may have been the best part of the whole interview.
Giving love and seeing the Jerseys of Channing, Fred, and Ryan. Then Tom signing the Jerseys and the football that Channing intercepted from him was awesome
Admitting how the roast affect his kids was one of the most vulnerable things he mentioned. He is who he says he is.
Fred Taylor talking to Tom about his seasons with him 54:35 was the most wholesome part of the video that’s real grown man shit “accountability “ amazing interview
His Imperial Majesty. Tom Brady is Him
Tom is hella chill, thanks for getting him to speak like this guys
This episode wasn’t long enough!!!! Couldn’t watch enough of it
Congrats on the partnership with Fanatics and all of the success to all 3 of you!!!!
Tom Brady looks so much different outside of pads glad I was able to watch his incredible career
Seeing how TB was genuinely shocked with that gift is refreshing to see. For someone who has everything and is amazed with a seat just shows why he got to where he got to
I think for most of us fans, players, or just people had some type of hatred for Tom and/or the Patriots whether they won or lost. But what we are all coming to realize is just how much of a part of our lives he has indirectly been a part of, whether we liked him, hated him, couldn't careless or rooted for him, it's been over 25 years of hearing Tom Brady this or that, and unfortunately he sounds like a stand up, wholesome dude that we all can relate too
Y’all Tom Brady!! Sheesh y’all keep getting these athletes that barely like doing interviews . Clearly that means yall are giving a safe place and environment for everyone to express themselves and not feel judged. Asking questions to understand their point of view and giving them sympathy. Proud of yall 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I Kno Brandon Marshall Somewhere Punching In The Air 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Yeah man, valuable lesson if u watched closely
I was thinking about that with the Fanatics announcement
@@JTZIIIfacts you are never better than the team
Man 😂😂😂
Asking Tom to sign a ball that you intercepted is COLD! 😂 I didn't think he would do it. Lol
Why wouldn't he? He's done it many times. Brady is a real one. He respects everyone he's played against..
3:29
“I’m a psycho bro that’s why” ahhh it all makes sense now 🐐
Crazy the respect Freddy T shows toward Brady. Speaks volumes about him
Julian punching the air right now 😂😂
He can get Belichick. They can throw shade at TB.
😂😂
He'll get Tom... someday. Games With Names actually beat out The Heights for the #1 sports pod last week, maybe that will get Tommy on there.
@@uzi978 Maybe they’ll get Gronk too. The most subliminally gay trio in NFL history.
Lmao 😂
Brandon Marshall somewhere punching the air at their success. He dropped the ball big time. Great interview as alway
He fumbled, if you will…..
*Cue Vincent Price ‘Thriller’ laugh*
Ocho also succeeding without him
Goes to show who was the real problem
I think it worked out for everyone.
@@BigDirty223good point
Yes! Tom Brady on The Pivot!!!❤❤❤
Yall boyz doing the Lord's work and got the 🐐
GREAT SHOW!!! I was NEVER a Tom Brady fan because he Won way too much and that B.S. tuck call kept my Raiders from going to the Super Bowl but he’s way more likable now that he’s Retired.Very Impressive locking down the GOAT to come on The Pivot.Hands down The Pivot is the #1 Show in the Business.Congrats!!!
As a Day 1 Pivot fan, I am proud. We did it Joe 😩😩😩😍😍😍😂😂
Brilliant podcast. I could listen to Tom Brady forever. Elite mentality in every facet of his life. Great questions and rapport between you guys. 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Oh Snap! He went from getting roasted to being on the PIVOT. Let’s Go! ❤️🔥
What a pivot !
I'm so impressed with how articulate TB is!!! Very impressive communicator
All of that shaking hands, I noticed at the very end, he was like i need some hands sanitizer. Tom Brady is awesome and if we all can be as discipline in something in our life, we will be better in something.
Calvin & Tom back to back. Sheesh.
Could you imagine if Tom had Calvin for 10 years instead of him playing with Stafford. Tom would have 2 more super bowls probably.
I love how Tom made a joke about Jags😂😂
This the one I’ve been waiting for!!!!!! I wish this one could go for 4 hours!!!!!
Seeing it’s only one hour hurt my feelings lol
When Brady stepped into the arena, y'all knew! 🐐
Congratulations to The Pivot, keep raising the bar in podcasting . Great interviews with the perfect blend of athletes and popular culture. 🙌🏽
