([06:20]) Highlighting the extreme measures taken to remove her shoes, Jared remarks, "Her glam squad used spray bottles to loosen the grip of the tape without hurting her feet.

Jared delves into Brady's admission of his parenting mistakes, highlighting his statement from a May 2024 Pivot podcast:
"It's the hardest part about the bittersweet aspect of when you do something like that, you think is one way, and then you realize, I wouldn't do that again because of the way it affected the people I care about most." ([18:50])

He criticizes Brady’s approach to the roast, emphasizing the lack of respect shown towards his family:

Jared draws parallels between Brady’s experience and his own interactions with athletes in the media, expressing frustration over the perceived lack of reverence:
