A Howard Stern interview with Tom Brady? That's some must-listen content.
The two engaged in some... interesting conversation on Stern's show Wednesday morning ranging from Brady's time with the Patriots to Ivanka Trump, to Gronk in the showers, to his family life. We're not sure if there's ever been an interview quite as eventful with the future Hall of Famer as this one. So let's begin the recap and start with the serious stuff.
There was just no way this call wasn't going to include TB12 leaving New England and things got interesting quickly. The 42-year-old revealed he "probably knew" the 2019 season would be his last in New England and that he cried while calling Robert Kraft and Bill Belichik to let them know the news.
He added this on his relationship with Belichick:
"I think he has a lot of loyalty. He and I have had a lot of conversations that nobody has ever been privy to, nor should they be, that so many wrong assumptions were made about our relationship or about how he felt about me. I know genuinely how he feels about me. Now I'm not going to respond to every rumor or assumption that's made, other than what his responsibility as coach is to get the best player for the team -- not only in the short term but in the long term as well. ... I got to the point where I was an older athlete and he's starting to plan for the future, which is what his responsibility is. I don't fault him for that. That's what he should be doing. Not that I would ever coach, but if I was ever in a position of authority, I would understand that too."
Okay, so the serious stuff needed to be addressed. Then things started to get a little less somber... much less somber. It wasn't long before the two started discussing showers in the NFL locker room. Brady doesn't seem to understand why there aren't separators in the showers and he's probably not the only one.
After the locker talk, the two touched on Brady's relationship with Donald Trump. He remained pretty mum about the whole thing but apparently Donald wanted him to marry his daughter...
"That was a long time ago".
Brady did touch on his relationship with Giselle and noted that there was a stage in which she wasn't satisfied in their marriage. Here's what he had to say on that and why he has skipped OTAs:
“There was a couple years ago, she didn’t feel I was doing my part for the family. She felt like I would play football all season and she would take care of the house, and then all the sudden when the season would end, that I’d be like, ‘Great, let me get into all my other business activities. Let me get into my football training.’ And she’s sitting there going, ‘Well, when are you going to do things for the house? When are you going to take the kids to school and do that?' ... “She wasn’t satisfied with our marriage. So I needed to make a change in that.”
There was a lot to unravel in this one but we're going to leave things here. For the full interview, you can head to Stern's show. There was plenty of other bizarre topics covered!
