  Usually the conversation around here is about football. Today, the topic is gas for one of the sponsors. Specifically, Mobil Supreme Plus Premium Gasoline. Let's start with the fact that Mobil Supreme Plus Premium is amazing. It keeps engines three times cleaner, so engines perform better for better gas mileage. Just ask motorsports legend Shirley Chacha Muldowney. She raced top fuel dragsters in the 70s, so she knows a thing or two about gasoline. She also knows a thing or two about the 70s, so if there are any questions about leisure suits, vinyl, or fondue, fire away. One might wonder why they call her Chacha. Like, is it a family name, or a marketing ploy? Or maybe she thought it sounded cool? It's very curious. Getting back to fuel, Shirley and the team highly recommend Mobil Supreme Plus Premium

• 1:13Speaker 01

  Gas, because it keeps engines three times cleaner for better performance and gas mileage. By the way, Chacha Muldowney, she drove a pink car. Mobil: Legendary. Three times cleaner compared to Mobil regular gas and port fuel-injected engines. Actual results may vary. Visit mobilfuels.com for details.

  The wrongs we must right. The fights we must win. The future we must secure together for our nation. This is what's in front of us. This determines what's next for all of us. We are Marines. We were made for this.

• 1:49Speaker 03

  Mom, did you not like any of our Travis Rye's girlfriends? Or my girlfriend, now wife?

• 1:56Speaker 04

  Jason, you really didn't bring a lot of ladies home.

• 2:00Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, we got it, Mom. Okay.

• 2:08Travis Kelce?

  Welcome back to New Heights, a Wondery show produced by Wave Sports and Entertainment and brought to you by Allstate.

• 2:32Speaker 03

  What happened?

• 2:33Travis Kelce?

  No, no, just give a shout out, I just love giving the Cavs some shout outs, man. Shout out to everybody down there in Cincy.

• 2:47Speaker 03

  We got another amazing episode for you guys. This Sunday is Mother's Day, so we've got an incredible guest with us.

• 2:54Travis Kelce?

  Yay.

• 2:55Speaker 03

  Donna Kelsey, that's right, Donna Kelsey's joining us.

• 2:58Travis Kelce?

  Ha ha.

• 3:00Speaker 03

  We'll talk about what Mother's Day was like in the Kelsey household, answer some of your parenting advice from voicemails and whatever else we talk about, I forget what we do, but it's pretty good. You're gonna want to listen because Donna Kelce never disappoints.

• 3:14Travis Kelce?

  Never.

• 3:15Speaker 03

  But first, as always, got a little bit of that new news.

• 3:18Travis Kelce?

  New news.

• 3:19Speaker 03

  New news, we asked you guys which baseball movie we should watch for our next New Heights Film Club and the winner is... That's right, it's The Sandlot.

• 3:32Travis Kelce?

  We knew it.

• 3:33Speaker 03

  Wow, a lot closer. When did The League of Their Own, The League of Their Own must've came in late, because initially it was like pretty, it was like tied neck and neck, Major League and Sandlot, and then Sandlot just some point took a commanding lead.

• 3:47Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, when I saw The League of Their Own, it was always in second.

• 3:50Speaker 03

  We will be reviewing the movie on an episode in the next few weeks, so if you have any, if you have to follow along, watch the movie, you know, hear what we say, offer your own opinion, make sure you give it a watch. Do we think that there's anyone that listens to this show that hasn't seen The Sandlot? I sure hope not, like if you're someone who is a full grown adult and you never watched Sandlot as a kid, it's pretty sad.

• 4:15Travis Kelce?

  Dude, it's one of my favorites. And I actually haven't watched it in a while, it's been a while, so I just know it's gonna hit perfect when I watch it this time.

• 4:23Speaker 03

  It's gonna be good, and I can't wait to look at it from a lens of judgment.

• 4:29Speaker 03

  That's it for new news. Uh, yeah, let's go to our guest. Who could that be? Oh, well, we already told you. Yeah. Okay. It's Donna Kelce.

• 4:36Speaker 04

  Mama.

• 4:38Speaker 03

  Mom.

• 4:39Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 4:40Speaker 03

  Mom, is it weird at all that Travis still calls you mommy?

• 4:44Speaker 04

  Um, it's kind of funny. I, I think it's hysterical.

• 4:47Travis Kelce?

  Thank you, Jason. It's funny.

• 4:49Speaker 04

  I take it as a, uh, you know, I, I get a chuckle.

• 4:53Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 4:53Speaker 04

  Cause I know you're doing it to make me laugh. I, you know?

• 4:57Speaker 03

  You'd think that.

• 4:58Travis Kelce?

  It's all the ma, it's all the mommy needs to know. Is it, this is between us, Jason. It's what happens when you're the first born.

• 5:07Speaker 04

  Oh geez, it's funny.

• 5:09Speaker 03

  You're the second born Travis.

• 5:10Speaker 04

  Love you both.

• 5:11Travis Kelce?

  You're so much like Ed. It's fucking disgusting.

• 5:14Speaker 03

  I know, am I good?

• 5:15Speaker 04

  No. You have several redeeming qualities, Jason.

• 5:20Speaker 03

  Oh my gosh, mom, don't go on dad like that. He doesn't need that.

• 5:24Speaker 04

  Say anything, but he didn't. I didn't say he didn't, but I just said that you have several.

• 5:29Speaker 03

  Implied.

• 5:30Speaker 04

  Anyway.

• 5:31Speaker 03

  All right. Uh, mom, do you know what you were brought here, uh, to do?

• 5:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, I think I've got to tell some stories and explain what it was like raising you two. So I think that's kind of what I'm here for. Does that sound correct?

• 5:45Speaker 03

  I think we got some like no dumb questions, maybe voicemails.

• 5:48Travis Kelce?

  Oh yeah.

• 5:49Speaker 04

  All right. Well, I was gonna talk about how you guys both got lost all the time, but then Jason did it because he wasn't paying attention. Travis did it on purpose to escape.

• 5:58Travis Kelce?

  I was never lost mommy. I was always just right around the corner.

• 6:02Speaker 04

  You were escaping. You were lost to us.

• 6:04Travis Kelce?

  I knew, I knew exactly where you guys were.

• 6:07Speaker 04

  I know.

• 6:08Travis Kelce?

  And I knew.

• 6:08Speaker 04

  I know, but we didn't know.

• 6:10Travis Kelce?

  I knew you guys were terrified.

• 6:12Speaker 04

  Yeah, you were like, uh,

• 6:13Travis Kelce?

  That's the excitement of it.

• 6:14Speaker 04

  Like Peter Pan's lost boys. Yeah.

• 6:17Speaker 03

  You're doing it, Peter. You're really doing it. You're doing it, Peter.

• 6:24Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 6:24Speaker 03

  Bang a ray.

• 6:25Speaker 04

  Yeah. Okay. All right. I will just say, cause I was gonna tell stories about the Superman chip clip. Remember you had, you put, you used to put a towel, both you guys would put a towel around your shoulders. You put a chip clip right here. You would cut your neck. I took you into daycare and you said that your father cut you with a knife. I almost got taken down to the.

• 6:48Speaker 03

  Sounds like a Travis story.

• 6:49Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, that was definitely me for sure.

• 6:51Speaker 04

  Dad was out of the country. He was in Mexico, so he couldn't have done it.

• 6:55Travis Kelce?

  Cause dad never showed me enough attention. He only cared about Jason.

• 6:58Speaker 03

  Dad was in Mexico because he had just slit Travis's throat. He's like, I gotta get the fuck out of Dodge.

• 7:06Speaker 06

  The one thing I know we're gonna get to is we're gonna run back that question that we did in a bonus episode with Ed. What, what do you do if your child calls CPS on you?

• 7:13Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 7:13Speaker 03

  Nice.

• 7:14Speaker 04

  Well, that's happened with Travis.

• 7:16Speaker 06

  Yeah, okay. Well, yeah, this is gonna be great.

• 7:19Speaker 03

  All right.

• 7:20Speaker 06

  Guys, skip ahead just to Donna's intro right here.

• 7:22Speaker 03

  I am looking for Donna's intro and I do not see it.

• 7:26Speaker 06

  Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.

• 7:28Speaker 03

  Mother's Day episode, got it?

• 7:32Speaker 03

  Joining us today is now a three-time guest. That's, I think, there's the most. I think that might be more than Kai.

• 7:40Travis Kelce?

  You know it.

• 7:40Speaker 03

  Three-time guest, so she needs no introduction. That's right, 92%ers, give a warm welcome to our mother, Donna Kelce.

• 7:50Speaker 03

  Mom, how's the off-season been? What you been up to?

• 7:53Speaker 04

  You know, it's been kind of slow. I've been taking it a little easy, but going on a few trips here and there. So that's kind of fun.

• 7:59Travis Kelce?

  We live vicariously through you. You travel more than anyone we know, mommy.

• 8:03Speaker 04

  No, no, I think you guys beat me by a mile, but Bahamas, I've been, I've been to Dominican Republic, although that was, it was interesting. Then we went to, we were supposed to go to Haiti, but they had to redirect us because they were having some civil strife. So we ended up in St. Martin.

• 8:25Speaker 04

  St. Thomas, yeah, they were. They, we couldn't get off the ship. We had to, we had to bail and go to St. Thomas, but I'm much rather be there anyway.

• 8:34Speaker 03

  Sometimes you just gotta get off the ship.

• 8:37Speaker 03

  Wait till the lights are out.

• 8:38Speaker 04

  We kept going like, who's on first? Where are we going? You know, which, what island are we at? We didn't know. So it was kind of fun.

• 8:46Speaker 03

  Sounds exciting. What is civil strife for me? What was going on there in Haiti?

• 8:52Travis Kelce?

  This is irrelevant. Yeah, no, Jason, this isn't that show.

• 8:55Speaker 03

  Those, I think those are called malicious. Those are called malicious.

• 8:58Speaker 04

  No, these were actual, anyway, it doesn't matter.

• 9:01Travis Kelce?

  Well, mommy, we have some, uh, some fun parenting advice voicemails for you that our 92% are sent in. And so much more. Um, but Jason, I think we gotta get a, get to a little, uh.

• 9:16Speaker 04

  New news.

• 9:17Travis Kelce?

  Oh, no, this, no, I did this. I did this all wrong.

• 9:20Speaker 04

  Segment.

• 9:20Speaker 03

  Yep. Yeah, he's, he's incorrect.

• 9:22Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, that was on, that was on me. I was a little higher up. Sorry about that.

• 9:25Speaker 03

  All right, this weekend is.

• 9:27Travis Kelce?

  How much better we've gotten at this show?

• 9:31Speaker 04

  I enjoy it.

• 9:32Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 9:33Speaker 04

  I get to see you every week.

• 9:35Speaker 06

  Why don't we do this? Why don't we do this? Call this.

• 9:37Speaker 03

  New news.

• 9:38Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 9:38Speaker 03

  All right.

• 9:39Travis Kelce?

  I knew I was right.

• 9:40Speaker 06

  You were, I mean, sure, we'll call it that. Travis, he crush it. Crush it, Travis.

• 9:46Speaker 04

  You look a little dark, Travis. You have a tan?

• 9:48Travis Kelce?

  I know. No, it's just I'm, I'm in my.

• 9:50Speaker 03

  He was just in Haiti.

• 9:55Travis Kelce?

  I'm everywhere.

• 9:56Speaker 04

  Okay, got it. Got it. Looks like you guys are having fun.

• 10:00Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, and, uh, we're about to have even more of a blast with you in this segment called New News.

• 10:09Speaker 03

  Your new news. There it is. There it is. All right.

• 10:13Travis Kelce?

  This weekend is Mother's Day and, uh, is this a real holiday, Jason? Are we considering this one a real holiday?

• 10:19Speaker 03

  Fuck, yes. What are you talking about as a made up holiday?

• 10:22Travis Kelce?

  You always gotta ask. You always gotta ask the.

• 10:24Speaker 03

  This one's.

• 10:25Travis Kelce?

  The holiday bearer over here.

• 10:28Speaker 03

  No, it's just, it's a recognized national holiday by pretty much every country in the world has their own version of Mother's Day because there's nobody more important in this world than mothers. Nobody would be here without one.

• 10:38Travis Kelce?

  This is true.

• 10:39Speaker 03

  Well, we'll see how much longer it's true. Probably isn't that too, like, far down the road to their, having kids born out of some of these, like, synthetic wombs. You seen that, Mom? What do you think of synthetic wombs?

• 10:50Speaker 04

  Yeah, well.

• 10:51Speaker 03

  Would you ever do it?

• 10:52Speaker 04

  Stuff happens.

• 10:53Travis Kelce?

  Would you ever do it?

• 10:55Speaker 04

  Would I ever do it? No, probably not.

• 10:58Speaker 03

  No. How do you think, there's gotta be something wrong with those people that come out of them, right?

• 11:02Speaker 04

  No.

• 11:02Speaker 03

  They're gonna have something wrong with them.

• 11:04Speaker 04

  No.

• 11:06Speaker 04

  It all has to do with, you know, your family's makeup and DNA and everything like that. So it is what it is.

• 11:13Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 11:14Speaker 04

  No matter where you're born or how you're born, it's just gonna be a basis of your ancestry, basically.

• 11:20Speaker 03

  Sometimes if you're born next to a power plant, you can become a superhero.

• 11:25Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, OJ water.

• 11:28Speaker 04

  Well, that might be true because we were born in North Ridgeville and there were a lot of cornfields. So there's a lot of pesticides going on there.

• 11:36Speaker 04

  Quite your mutants.

• 11:37Speaker 03

  Cool.

• 11:38Travis Kelce?

  That's why Jason's arms look like that.

• 11:42Travis Kelce?

  Mom, what do, what, what do moms really want on Mother's Day?

• 11:46Speaker 04

  They want to be with their children, which doesn't happen often, but when they're older. But yeah, that's basically it is time. That's it.

• 11:55Travis Kelce?

  You like flowers always, always make you happy, right?

• 12:00Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, basically. Yeah, flowers are nice and you know, and.

• 12:06Speaker 03

  Pistachios?

• 12:07Speaker 04

  Yeah, I do. I like macaroons or macarons, whatever they call them, French.

• 12:15Travis Kelce?

  You like those?

• 12:17Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 12:18Travis Kelce?

  You were a big fan of like the little turtles.

• 12:21Speaker 04

  I love them too. I love caramel and chocolate too. That's always good.

• 12:26Speaker 03

  Can't go wrong with chocolates.

• 12:28Speaker 04

  But basically I think moms just want to be around their families. So sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So it is what it is.

• 12:36Speaker 03

  All right.

• 12:36Travis Kelce?

  Well, there you go. Um, you, uh, you have any, uh, any fun trips coming up anytime soon, Robbie?

• 12:42Speaker 04

  I do. I'm headed to Mexico. Might try.

• 12:47Speaker 04

  Yes, going in July and maybe some other trips. I'm not quite sure yet, but we'll, we'll let you know later on. So.

• 12:57Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, let me, let me know. It might just magically appear. I don't like to tell everybody where I'm going, but I do like to just pop up on people.

• 13:04Speaker 04

  Oh, cool.

• 13:05Travis Kelce?

  Nice. Keep me in the loop.

• 13:07Speaker 04

  Yep. It's not super warm yet, so. But as soon as May happens, it starts getting a little toasty down here. So I understand. Not wanting to come, so it's a little.

• 13:18Travis Kelce?

  Might need to get you out of the toasting up to the fun parts of the spring and summer.

• 13:23Speaker 04

  I would, I would like that.

• 13:25Travis Kelce?

  Up north, you know.

• 13:27Speaker 03

  Where are you going to Mexico?

• 13:28Speaker 04

  I'm going with Shannon, her best friend, and I'm going with Lisa. So we're all, we're gonna do a

• 13:34Travis Kelce?

  Oh.

• 13:35Speaker 04

  A trip to, a trip to, to Mexico. Go, go up, I think it's Chutunitza and Tulum. We're gonna go visit the ruins.

• 13:44Travis Kelce?

  Oh, Tulum. Gonna see some cenotes?

• 13:48Speaker 04

  I don't know. That's a good question. But I liked it when we got to go to Mexico with, when, when the Chiefs played there because we got

• 13:58Speaker 03

  Mexico City?

• 13:59Speaker 04

  Uh, Teotihuacan. So that was fun. That was a wonderful, it's, it's another place, pyramids, pyramids of the Mayans. And it's massive.

• 14:12Travis Kelce?

  Jason, did you know that there were pyramids in Mexico too?

• 14:15Speaker 04

  One of the largest.

• 14:15Speaker 03

  I knew they were down there. Yeah, the Aztecs. Yeah, they had them down there, right?

• 14:18Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 14:19Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 14:20Speaker 03

  Didn't know their names though. Teotihuacan?

• 14:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, Teotihuacan is one of the places. In fact, some of their pyramids are even bigger than the ones in Egypt. So we'll have to, it's kind of interesting.

• 14:33Travis Kelce?

  They don't teach us that.

• 14:34Speaker 03

  You think aliens built them?

• 14:37Speaker 04

  Um.

• 14:38Speaker 03

  Be honest, you're under oath.

• 14:39Speaker 04

  I don't know. You know, it's, you, I just think it's too hard to make sure that everything fits so well. They had, either had to have technology that was, you know, passed down through the generations or somebody came and helped them. So who knows?

• 14:56Travis Kelce?

  And that does it for new news.

• 15:02Speaker 03

  Dude. Have you seen this? Royal Caribbean just dropped the Legend of the Seas. It's the biggest cruise ship on the planet. Like, nothing's even close to being this big. And it's sailing out of Fort Lauderdale, starting this November.

• 15:59Speaker 03

  That's right. This thing is stacked. Seven pools, more places to eat than you can even count. I mean, they have something for everybody.

  Like, bring the kids, bring mom and dad, shoot, bring the whole crew. Everybody's got a spot. That's what makes it special.

  And the entertainment, Latin music, ice skating, full-on Broadway shows. It's pretty amazing. Pretty much everything you want in one place. Oh, and did I mention there's a water park?

• 16:24Travis Kelce?

  You didn't, and that's, that'd be the kicker for me.

• 16:26Speaker 03

  I love a water park.

• 16:27Travis Kelce?

  But the crazy one? Crown's Edge, a ropes course off the side of the ship. Not for the faint of heart, brother.

• 16:36Speaker 03

• 18:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, I mean, Brandon, can we, uh, which one, should we pick some of these or should we just start rolling through them? What do you think?

• 18:21Speaker 06

  Wait, were you asking, was I supposed to answer? Oh, shit.

• 18:24Speaker 03

  I said Brandon.

• 18:25Travis Kelce?

  Do you want to roll through them?

• 18:26Speaker 06

  Hey, Brandon. How you been?

• 18:29Speaker 04

  I've been good.

• 18:30Speaker 06

  Always, always happy to have you.

• 18:31Speaker 03

  All right, one through five.

• 18:33Speaker 06

  Let me talk to your mom for a second.

• 18:36Speaker 03

  Go ahead.

• 18:37Speaker 06

  All right, first voicemail.

• 18:39Speaker 07

  Hi, my name is Stephanie. I am a mom of two boys and I was just calling to see what, um, words of imperism would you give an 11-year-old and a seven-year-old boy, um, to encourage them to try another sport besides? My kids love contact sports. They love lacrosse. They love, um, tackle football. They like to wrestle. They like to box.

• 19:07Travis Kelce?

  Good sports.

• 19:08Speaker 07

  We want them to try.

• 19:10Speaker 03

  Have to box.

• 19:11Speaker 07

  Baseball, to try basketball, but they're kind of like tunnel vision with contact sports. They love it. They can't get enough of it. So what are some more?

• 19:21Travis Kelce?

  I like these guys. They're our kind of guys.

• 19:23Speaker 07

  Seven-year-old boys to encourage them to try other sports.

• 19:28Speaker 03

  Great question, Mom. You want to take that one?

• 19:30Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, Mom, you got it.

• 19:30Speaker 03

  How did you, how did you get us into all of them?

• 19:32Speaker 04

  You know, your dad was a big part of, of finding, you know, different teams and things like that, but we always wanted you to just have a great time. Have fun. Keep busy. When you're moving, you're not getting in any trouble. Whatever sport you like. If you like, you know, contact sports and do that. If you like sports that are, you know, playing badminton or whatever, do that. It's like you have to love what you're doing. Otherwise, you're not going to want to play.

• 20:00Travis Kelce?

  Mommy, growing up, what was your, what was the favorite, what was the one sport you loved watching us play the most though? Like, what was the most exciting one?

• 20:08Speaker 04

  Well, obviously.

• 20:09Travis Kelce?

  As a parent, watching.

• 20:10Speaker 04

  Yeah, obviously the most exciting was team sports, you know, where, um,

• 20:18Speaker 04

  Uh, hockey was a blast because it was constantly moving. So you, you could watch thing. There was no stopping. It was, you know, jumping off over the, uh, what do you call it? The boards. You just were going all the time. So you were out there.

• 20:32Travis Kelce?

  You always had to keep an eye on us too, in case we were gonna throw our, our, our cups at you.

• 20:36Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 20:38Speaker 03

  Very true.

• 20:39Speaker 04

  But it, it was just, you know, I, I loved doing that because I paid attention to you and I got to watch you grow and blossom in hockey. But I also liked, uh, baseball because in baseball, you would be up to bat maybe once, maybe twice, and you would catch the ball maybe once or twice, unless you were the pitcher or the catcher, which Jason was. So he was constantly out there because he was catching and throwing pitching.

• 21:08Travis Kelce?

  They only, they only put me on the mound when we hated the other team and they wanted to see me just strike fear into kids.

• 21:14Speaker 04

  Yeah. And, and throw the ball like this close to their nose. Yeah. But, uh, I enjoyed the parents at those sports. Baseball, the parents were just awesome.

• 21:28Travis Kelce?

  Mom was always in the right, yeah, mom was always in the right field in the baseball games having, having a comedy hour with all the, uh, the other mothers on the team.

• 21:38Speaker 04

  We were always telling jokes and laughing. It was great. And then they're like, wait a minute, my son's up to bat.

• 21:42Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 21:43Speaker 03

  Mom, what do, uh, what do you think is the key to getting kids to enjoy sports? What did you used to do to try and get us to have fun or get us into new activities?

• 21:53Speaker 04

  You were the ones that drove it. It wasn't us. You drove it. You said what you liked, what you wanted to do. If you wanted to be in a play, you were in a play. If you wanted to do swim cadets, you did swim cadets. If, if, you know, it's like, we just went along for the ride. You guys drove everything. And that's the way it should be. Parents should stay out of it. They shouldn't push their kids into things they don't want to do. They're gonna have a wonderful childhood. If they love what they do, they're gonna get good at it. So that's as simple as that.

• 22:26Travis Kelce?

  You guys did a great job of introducing sports. Like I remember, uh, Jason started playing, uh, Football in uh in middle school and I was I was always two steps behind. So I was in fifth grade while he was in seventh grade.

• 22:39Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 22:39Travis Kelce?

  And he was starting to play football and I was like, man, I want to play football. I remember dad took me down to uh Heights Tigers uh tryouts and I saw how many kids were trying out for the football team at that age and I was just overwhelmed with like not knowing anybody and understanding like you're as a kid, you you kind of want to play sports with your friends or people that you know and things like that. And you guys always found teams where we were, we knew the kids on the team.

• 23:06Speaker 04

  Well, definitely, we would check out, you know, who the coaches were, what the parents, you know, what parents were there, who was involved, you know, if there were a bunch of parents that were involved or a bunch of parents that weren't involved, you know, it's really important because as children grow up, they're not going to tell you anything. They're going to tell their friends stuff and they're going to, they're going to get to um their friends' parents and talk to them. So I think you just want to surround your children with a huge group of individuals that are of like minds. So.

• 23:40Travis Kelce?

  I remember uh I was I was in middle school and I was playing for a for a new baseball team called CBA, Cleveland Baseball Academy.

• 23:49Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 23:49Travis Kelce?

  And the academy was very, they were very like respectable in the baseball community in Cleveland. And um I thought that my talent was there, but it also said that I had to maintain a GPA of 3.0 uh to stay on the team. And I looked at my dad after the tryouts and I was like, Dad, I think I could play on this team, but I don't know if I could. I don't know if I can keep up this old 3.0 GPA.

• 24:15Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 24:15Travis Kelce?

  And um and yeah, so I ended up uh just cheating the system because when you're good at sports, they want you on the team.

• 24:23Speaker 03

  Mom, what do uh if there if if there was a kid you had, let's say we had a third brother.

• 24:27Travis Kelce?

  Story.

• 24:29Speaker 04

  If we had a third brother, oh my.

• 24:32Speaker 03

  You have a third brother, third brother named Dale.

• 24:35Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 24:35Speaker 03

  Dale didn't like sports and he didn't want to do anything but sit in the house all day. Would you just let Dale sit in the house all day and not play sports or do anything extracurricular?

• 24:43Speaker 04

  You know, I, I would try to find something that they like to do, you know, anything to get them out of the house, you know, whether it was, maybe they wanted to be a long distance runner. Maybe they were just like.

• 24:56Speaker 03

  This kid wants to do nothing. He's got no motivation, no friends, hypothetical.

• 25:01Speaker 04

  Oh, wow, that's a rough one. Cause you have to.

• 25:06Speaker 04

  You have to take a look at personalities too. I mean, you can't force somebody to do something. You have to find something they're gonna like.

• 25:14Speaker 03

  Why not?

• 25:15Travis Kelce?

  They got it.

• 25:15Speaker 03

  Your parents, of course you can, you're a mom, you can force them to do whatever you want.

• 25:19Speaker 04

  All you can do is, is give them opportunity to find things that they like to do. So keep trying.

• 25:27Speaker 03

  Lead them to water.

• 25:27Speaker 04

  Keep trying.

• 25:28Speaker 03

  You can lead them.

• 25:29Travis Kelce?

  They're not just at the house doing anything, Jason, they're into something.

• 25:33Speaker 04

  You, you, you just, it's important, you know, for social.

• 25:37Travis Kelce?

  If it's video games, take them down to the arcades. See if they got what it takes.

• 25:41Speaker 04

  Socially. Because that's how everything is run in this world is on teams. You, you, you know, it's like.

• 25:49Speaker 03

  Right now.

• 25:50Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, true.

• 25:51Speaker 03

  Wait till AI takes over.

• 25:53Speaker 04

  Yeah, I know. We're even gonna have surgeries. I think you can find, you know, what your kid likes to do. I think parents know what they like. So you just have to direct them in that way. Try to get them help, let's say they're a musician, get them some music lessons, you know, just.

• 26:08Travis Kelce?

  Ooh.

• 26:09Speaker 04

  You know, try to find out what they're, what they really, really like.

• 26:14Speaker 03

  Passion is.

• 26:15Speaker 04

  Yeah. I mean, that's the thing, it's feed, feed that, feed that passion.

• 26:21Speaker 03

  Can we get?

• 26:21Travis Kelce?

  Let's get.

• 26:22Speaker 03

  Let's get to a question here.

• 26:24Travis Kelce?

  Let's get to another question here.

• 26:25Speaker 08

  I feel like this would be a better question for Donna Felty. But as a mom of two boys, age four and one, what are some ways that I can cultivate their relationship? So they grow up to be close brothers like Jason and Travis.

• 26:41Speaker 04

  Man.

• 26:44Travis Kelce?

  Two years apart is different than three years apart.

• 26:46Speaker 04

  It is, it is. Yeah, that's a rough one. I don't think you cultivate anything. I think the dynamic of the family is the dynamic of the family. You know, I didn't try to force anything. I didn't try to steer it in any way. I think kids are born with certain characteristics. I think some parents take too much, um, you know, credit for their children's, um, success and for their failures.

• 27:21Speaker 03

  Oh, I don't.

• 27:22Speaker 04

  I do.

• 27:24Speaker 03

  It's all on you. If you got a shithead kid, it's on the parents. You got two Hall of Fame NFL playing kids. It's all on the parents. You gotta have it both ways, Mom.

• 27:34Travis Kelce?

  You know what, Mom? I think it's on the older sibling. I think eventually you gotta, you gotta let the, you gotta let the older sibling know. I think that's what you and Dad did a great job of.

• 27:43Speaker 04

  No.

• 27:43Travis Kelce?

  Is that you forced Jason to be my friend. And by doing this, Jason would then just torture me. He would find fun ways to say, we're playing together, but in reality, like, playing together with Jason was, hey Travis, you wanna go be the goalie outside so I could just rip slap shots at you in the driveway? Like, yeah, of course I wanna play with you.

• 28:06Speaker 04

  Oh, man. Our garage door was like pockmarked.

• 28:10Travis Kelce?

  Family activities always wins.

• 28:12Speaker 04

  I truly believe that children, no matter who the parent is, if they want something bad enough, it's gonna happen. You, they just have to have a drive. Some kids are born with, that are driven, some kids aren't. You know, all we gave you was opportunity. You guys ran with it. We followed what you wanted, what you thought was good. Unless it was against the law, we, you know, we let you do pretty much, you know, whatever you thought would be fun.

• 28:39Travis Kelce?

  You guys helped motivate it as well by having good family values.

• 28:42Speaker 03

  I'm gonna disagree heavily with what my mother's saying right now. I think that, uh, if you want two brothers to love each other, as parents, you need to go above and beyond to make sure that both kids feel like they're getting loved and attention in the same amounts.

• 28:58Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 28:58Speaker 03

  And encourage. The brothers, when they celebrate each other.

• 29:03Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 29:03Speaker 03

  I think that like, for me, I think a lot of the siblings that I know that aren't close, or the ones that feel like they have like fractured relationships. A lot of those feel like there's like a competitiveness to the relationship with their siblings that quite frankly Travis and I just have never felt.

• 29:21Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 29:21Speaker 03

  And I think you and dad both did a great job.

• 29:24Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 29:24Speaker 03

  Our entire lives of like, taking me to Travis's games to watch him play, having Trav come to my games to watch me play. Like, there was a concerted effort by both of you to not only celebrate both of us, but to have each of us celebrate our brother, right?

• 29:41Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 29:41Speaker 03

  And I think that that's, I think that's the answer personally. And you have to. Okay.

• 29:45Travis Kelce?

  That's a good point.

• 29:46Speaker 03

  It's gonna be competitive naturally.

• 29:48Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 29:49Speaker 03

  You want to be competitive. Then you have to have dad tell the older one that, or mom tell the older one to lose sometimes to make the younger one feel better. Sometimes it's gotta happen. It's gonna have to bite your tongue, you know?

• 29:58Travis Kelce?

  This guy.

• 29:59Speaker 04

  No, that never happened.

• 30:00Travis Kelce?

  Can't fool me. I, I just learned how to flank. Can't fool me.

• 30:05Speaker 04

  He got better because you wouldn't let him win, so.

• 30:10Speaker 03

  That's what I tell myself. Travis is so much better than me because I beat the shit out of him all the time.

• 30:18Speaker 04

  But then you also reveled in each other's wins. I mean, you were happy when Travis won, you know, you were there rooting him on.

• 30:27Speaker 03

  Still am.

• 30:28Speaker 04

  You know, it is, it was, went both ways, you know? So.

• 30:33Travis Kelce?

  So I was happy when I lost too, it was crazy.

• 30:35Speaker 03

  No, I mean, well, sometimes, sometimes when I, when I knew you needed it. All right, here we go Brandon, what's the next?

• 30:41Travis Kelce?

  That was gold.

• 30:42Speaker 04

  And you have to have a good sense of humor too.

• 30:44Speaker 03

  What's the next one?

• 30:46Speaker 09

  Hi Jason, hi Travis. My name is Eileen, I am from Orlando, Florida, and.

• 30:51Travis Kelce?

  Hey!

• 30:53Speaker 09

  Now, Jason, I know you have really small children, but.

• 30:56Speaker 03

  Hey, what are you trying to say?

• 30:57Speaker 09

  And they will be teenagers. So I've got a 17-year-old son who's a senior in high school. He's trying to make a college decision. And he currently wants to change all of his plans to follow his girlfriend to where she's going to college.

• 31:12Speaker 03

  Ooh.

• 31:13Speaker 09

  Should I let him? Give me your best advice.

• 31:15Speaker 04

  Oh, man, that happens a lot.

• 31:16Speaker 09

  I don't know if I should let him make a life-changing decision to follow her, but should I also follow or stop young love? Let me know what you think.

• 31:25Speaker 03

  I don't know. Should we let mom take this one first or do we take a stab at it at first?

• 31:29Speaker 04

  I wouldn't even know where to go with that.

• 31:31Speaker 03

  It's hard.

• 31:32Speaker 04

  I know several of my friends allowed their kid to go where their boyfriend was going, vice versa, but.

• 31:38Travis Kelce?

  Did it work out?

• 31:39Speaker 03

  Never.

• 31:40Speaker 04

  No.

• 31:41Travis Kelce?

  No, not once.

• 31:42Speaker 04

  You know, sometime, except, well, one of my friends got married right out of high school and they're still married, so you never know.

• 31:50Speaker 03

  There you go. Happens sometimes.

• 31:52Speaker 04

  Sometimes it's your, you know, the person, it's your person.

• 31:55Speaker 03

  Did they go to college, though? Or do they say?

• 31:58Speaker 04

  No, they never did.

• 31:59Speaker 03

  Yeah, see, see, that's, that's, that's a sheltered individual getting married out of high school and just staying that way.

• 32:03Travis Kelce?

  What? It's not how it works, Jason.

• 32:07Speaker 03

  Kidding, kidding.

• 32:08Speaker 04

  Not everybody has to go to college. Yeah.

• 32:12Travis Kelce?

  College is a decision you have to make for yourself. It is a selfish decision that, that you have to make for the future of whatever career or, um, or lane that you want to take in life. And, um, I know that that's, I mean, it's gotta be tough to, to have, you know, a loved one that, uh, might be doing something completely different.

• 32:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, clearly mom does not like this girl. Mom doesn't like the girl. She's.

• 32:37Travis Kelce?

  Why isn't she wanting to go to where you're going to college? Like, is it, is there a trade-off here? You know, there, I don't know. I think nobody should go to a school to follow somebody else other than how I went to Cincinnati to go there because of Jason. Um, I don't think anybody should go to college to follow somebody else. I think they should go there for the values that they see are going to be best fitting for them.

• 33:01Speaker 03

  I think you're dealing, I, I agree a thousand percent with Travis. And I think that that's what you have to say to the, to your son as well. If you say like, I'm not letting you go to school, it's not gonna work out. Does it?

• 33:15Speaker 04

  No, you don't want to say that. But here's the thing.

• 33:18Speaker 03

  At the end of the day, they, they.

• 33:20Speaker 04

  Go ahead.

• 33:22Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm I'm not gonna interrupt.

• 33:23Speaker 04

  I think that if you're gonna do the same thing and go to a college and have the same friends around you, you're never gonna have any growth. Okay, you're never gonna be able to be on your own and try to figure things out on your own. You're always gonna have somebody there beside you to help you through all those decisions. But when you go to college, you're you're totally usually totally on your own. And you do not have anyone there. You just kind of fail and then you win. You know what I mean? Sometimes, you know, you have little setbacks. There's adversity. You have to work through it. That's why I don't think it's a good idea for being at home when you're going to college or being close. I think people

• 34:08Speaker 04

  should go as far away as they possibly can, you know. So that's my viewpoint. I think that you grow more when you're away from people that are with you all the time.

• 34:20Speaker 03

  I don't disagree with that, but I think you can't get into the idea that you're gonna force your kid to not go to college somewhere. I just think it's not gonna work. You got you got to approach it from a

• 34:31Travis Kelce?

  That's how you get Rummy and Juliet.

• 34:32Speaker 03

  Exactly. That's right. That's right. You gotta do what Trav said, which is basically just explain to them like, listen, you go to college to learn and get a degree. You don't go to college so you can be with other people. Like, that's not why you go to college. If you want to do that, just don't go to college and go live wherever that person's like, that's not the reason you choose to go to a college.

• 34:53Speaker 04

  No.

• 34:53Speaker 03

  If, and I would say this to the person, if it's meant to be with you and this person, college will not be the thing that separates you two. If you go into a different school ends up breaking your relationship, that shit wasn't gonna last anyway, brother. Like, it was gonna be over sooner or later.

• 35:13Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 35:13Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 35:14Speaker 03

  So.

• 35:14Speaker 04

  It's a it's a hard one, though.

• 35:16Speaker 03

  Mom, did you not like any of our Travis or I's girlfriends? Or my girlfriend, now wife?

• 35:22Speaker 04

  Jason, you really didn't bring a lot of ladies home.

• 35:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, we got it, mom. Okay.

• 35:31Speaker 04

  You dated, but I didn't know any of them. So same thing with Trav. I, you know, I met one or two, but I didn't know anybody that you guys were dating. I, I knew nothing of anybody that you guys were dating in college. You told me zero.

• 35:48Speaker 03

  Zero. Yeah. What did you think of? Okay. Here we go. Let's just move on.

• 35:52Speaker 04

  You were too busy. Did you have any time at all to date? I don't know.

• 35:57Speaker 03

  Who made?

• 35:57Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 35:58Speaker 03

  I had plenty of time. I had absolutely zero game and I looked like an overweight Oompa Loompa. That's why I didn't have any girlfriends.

• 36:06Travis Kelce?

  Overweight?

• 36:08Speaker 03

  I guess in high school I wasn't.

• 36:10Travis Kelce?

  No.

• 36:10Speaker 04

  No.

• 36:11Speaker 03

  I just sucked at talking to women for whatever reason.

• 36:13Speaker 04

  Well, you've changed, so that's good.

• 36:16Speaker 03

  I don't know if I did.

• 36:18Travis Kelce?

  You've always been the coolest kid.

• 36:22Speaker 10

  It's said everything happens for a reason, but maybe everything happens for a recess. Take noise cancelling headphones. Do they block hearing to heighten taste? Hmm. That sound seems to show everything happens for a recess.

• 37:07Speaker 03

  We want to run back a voicemail. Ed waited on and we're going to play it for you.

• 37:12Speaker 04

  Yeah, I think I saw it.

• 37:15Speaker 03

  Should we call it?

• 37:15Travis Kelce?

  I was going to say, you brought up Ed Kelsey.

• 37:18Speaker 03

  We gotta go to Ed Kelsey for this one.

• 37:19Travis Kelce?

  This man, just, just so everyone knows, like he grew up in a different day and age.

• 37:24Speaker 03

  For sure.

• 37:24Travis Kelce?

  All right. So a lot of the things.

• 37:27Speaker 03

  We have no idea what's going to come out of his mouth.

• 37:31Speaker 12

  Hey, what's up?

• 37:31Speaker 03

  Dad.

• 37:32Speaker 12

  Yeah.

• 37:32Speaker 03

  Travis and I are on the podcast right now. We want your advice.

• 37:35Speaker 12

  Okay.

• 37:36Speaker 03

  Somebody wants your advice. Not us really.

• 37:38Travis Kelce?

  I kind of want your advice on this.

• 37:39Speaker 03

  We both are interested in your answer. All right. What would Ed Kelsey's reaction to Travis out in public telling some strangers that you stole him?

• 37:47Speaker 12

  What would my reaction be?

• 37:49Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:50Speaker 12

  Yeah. Shut the fuck up.

• 37:53Speaker 12

  That's number one. All right. Yeah.

• 37:58Speaker 12

  Get your little ass home and you'll be begging to be fucking stolen.

• 38:09Speaker 12

  You guys know, that would never really happen.

• 38:14Speaker 12

  I'm really good about beating you guys.

• 38:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 38:16Speaker 12

  The thing that matters is it never really happened.

• 38:18Speaker 03

  Right, yeah.

• 38:21Speaker 03

  You tell us what you would do in this situation.

• 38:23Speaker 04

  Oh, man.

• 38:25Speaker 13

  Hello, so I'm a 22 year old female and I have a five year old daughter. And he keeps going around telling people in Walmart or anywhere we go that um I had stole her and I am wondering how I can fix this because I am getting weird glances and I have had the police called on me multiple times. So I was wondering like how I could change my parenting style to fix this. Like it's it's gotten serious. I've gotten CPS called on me. I've gotten a lot of a lot of calls about it and I was just wondering how I could fix this.

• 39:05Speaker 03

  All right, Mom, what do you think?

• 39:07Speaker 04

  Well, I think it's a um huge attention getter for this kid. And he's loving the attention, whether it's a boy or a girl. So um I don't know what to tell you there. It's.

• 39:20Travis Kelce?

  If you seek attention, you will get it at that age.

• 39:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah. So the thing is is to start paying attention at things you want him to do instead of things that you don't want him to do.

• 39:33Travis Kelce?

  Oh, that's great advice, Mommy. That's very good advice.

• 39:37Speaker 03

  Just bring some munchkins with you.

• 39:38Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, just bring some munchkins. He won't want to fucking go anywhere. God, they're so good.

• 39:44Speaker 03

  Oh, that's good, Mom.

• 39:45Travis Kelce?

  Dad said it would have been me doing that. Can you please tell the world who it really would have been?

• 39:50Speaker 04

  It it would have been you.

• 39:55Speaker 04

  Because, don't you remember when you were-

• 39:57Travis Kelce?

  Because you never showed me attention!

• 40:00Speaker 04

  No, this, you, you loved attentions and so did Jason really too, but don't you remember when you were like three years old, you were at, um, what do you call it, preschool, okay, Jason was already in, in school at this point, he was going to first grade or whatever, and you used to run around the house with this towel over you and these, in this chip clip, okay, and so the chip clip, you know, cut your neck right there, and so we went into preschool and you told everybody that, uh, they asked you how that happened and you told everyone that it was your father and that he cut you with a knife, so I said, well, wait a minute, he's not home, he's at work and

• 40:44Speaker 04

  he's in Mexico right now, so they looked at me, like it's me, you're protecting me, and it was me that cut him with a knife, so I had a lot of explaining to do.

• 40:54Travis Kelce?

  No, you would never do that. Ed, Ed would threaten me, he'd put the knife to my neck and then be like, you want me to do, I'm just kidding, he would never.

• 41:02Speaker 04

  Yeah, so you, you just love to embellish things and you love to tell stories, and that's the same thing with this kid.

• 41:11Travis Kelce?

  I like to see how things were playing out, I just kinda like to, you know, I like to manipulate things a little bit, see how the things are gonna play out, and then I realized I can't do that to my parents, so I stopped doing that.

• 41:21Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's the thing, it's like, I think when you saw me in the distress that I was in, that was the last time I ever did that, so that was, that ended that, but this, obviously this child does not care and they love the attention so much, so it's hard, you know, sometimes, you know, I, I don't know what to tell you with this one, it just sounds like he's having way too much fun irritating the hell out of his mother.

• 41:45Speaker 03

  What do you think of hitting them?

• 41:50Speaker 03

  No? Mom?

• 41:52Speaker 04

  No.

• 41:53Travis Kelce?

  Don't you do mom like that.

• 41:56Travis Kelce?

  Mom, so you heard the, the, the voicemail. Um, back to the voicemail.

• 42:00Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 42:01Travis Kelce?

  What do you think Ed Kelsey would have said in this moment? If I was at the grocery store and I was telling everybody that he stole me?

• 42:11Speaker 04

  He would say, fuck, you know, like, like,

• 42:14Speaker 12

  Now shut the fuck up.

• 42:16Speaker 04

  Knock it off. And he would say, I'll give you something to cry about.

• 42:24Travis Kelce?

  Very true. Very true.

• 42:26Speaker 12

  The other thing I would do, I would tell this mother, find out who called the police.

• 42:30Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 42:30Speaker 12

  And sue that motherfucker.

• 42:33Speaker 12

  I would make life miserable for any asshole that went to an authority to say, this child says he's been stolen.

• 42:42Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 42:43Speaker 12

  Okay.

• 42:43Speaker 03

  Well, what, what?

• 42:44Speaker 12

  You gotta take some shit serious.

• 42:46Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 42:48Speaker 03

  But child theft is not one of them.

• 42:49Speaker 12

  No.

• 42:52Speaker 03

  We thought that you would go Ed Kelsey reverse psychology on him. Whenever we would threaten to call the police, you used to say, well, here's the phone. Go ahead, call them.

• 43:03Speaker 03

  So we thought maybe you, you, you go like, yeah, I stole my soul right down the street. Just lean into it.

• 43:09Travis Kelce?

  I stole them. I'm actually selling them. You want to buy them?

• 43:14Travis Kelce?

  They're up for sale.

• 43:17Speaker 03

  All right, Pop. All right. That was great.

• 43:19Travis Kelce?

  Thank you.

• 43:19Speaker 03

  Appreciate it. All righty. Love you.

• 43:22Speaker 12

  Oh God, Dad's calling back.

• 43:25Speaker 03

  You're Pop. Yeah.

• 43:26Speaker 12

  Yeah. The one thing that's bear, that bears a, you know, that we didn't talk about, you know, as part of this whole discussion is,

• 43:33Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 43:34Speaker 12

  if that would have happened.

• 43:35Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 43:36Speaker 12

  That would have been Travis.

• 43:40Speaker 12

  Travis is the one that would have tried to pull that off.

• 43:45Speaker 12

  And the other, and the other side of it was, you know, the fucking,

• 43:50Speaker 12

  looked at either one of you guys and looked at me and said, you know, this is, they're saying fucking people.

• 43:55Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yeah. No, it's, it would have been a hard sell. It would have been a hard sell.

• 43:58Speaker 12

  But the only way that would have, Travis would have tried this shit.

• 44:01Travis Kelce?

  I can see that.

• 44:02Speaker 03

  Travis, I can see Travis.

• 44:03Travis Kelce?

  I agree.

• 44:05Speaker 03

  Alrighty, well, you got it. I got him eating his munchkin.

• 44:09Travis Kelce?

  Alright mommy, thank you for blessing us yet again. Happy Mother's Day, of course, to the best mother in the world, and Happy Mother's Day to all of the other 92 percenters out there. Make sure you guys show some love to your mom.

• 44:22Speaker 04

  Absolutely. If you can't see him, call him. For sure, they want to hear from you.

• 44:28Travis Kelce?

  Love you.

• 44:28Speaker 03

  Love you, Mom. Thank you so much. Sorry for torturing you. I love you so much.

• 44:34Speaker 06

  Jason, you got Mother's Day plans? You got it? You got it figured out?

• 44:37Speaker 03

  No, I don't. I'm happy that we're doing this episode because I forgot all about it, as usual.

• 44:41Speaker 06

  Jesus.

• 44:42Travis Kelce?

  You don't forget Beer Day.

• 44:43Speaker 06

  Yeah, you were all in on Beer Day. Mother's Day somehow missed the counter, didn't it?

• 44:47Speaker 03

  I did not remember Beer Day at all. When is Mother's Day?

• 44:50Speaker 06

  The 11th.

• 44:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, I got plenty of time.

• 44:52Speaker 06

  You got plenty of time.

• 44:53Travis Kelce?

  We got plenty of time to go to CVS at the last minute.

• 44:59Speaker 03

  Get a nice card.

• 45:01Speaker 06

  I got you two for one on Body Armor Waters.

• 45:04Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. For some reason, all the presents were taken. There were no more chocolates. I went down the chocolate aisle, there was nothing.

• 45:13Speaker 03

  So weird.

• 45:14Travis Kelce?

  So weird. It's like there's some sort of chocolate.

• 45:17Speaker 06

  That's crazy. I bought this like a week ago. I definitely was on top of it. It must, it must, must have been those tariffs.

• 45:26Speaker 03

  They were out of Mother's Day cards, so I just got you a Father's Day card with crossed out "Father" on all of them?

• 45:34Travis Kelce?

  Dude, I would have had some of these.

• 45:37Travis Kelce?

  Only to give to Kylie.

• 45:38Speaker 06

  It says Happy Father's Day, but my name is crossed out on it?

• 45:41Speaker 03

  Happy crossed out Mother's Day. I'm trying to think of like what a Father's Day card is. Do they even make Father's Day cards?

• 45:48Travis Kelce?

  Of course not.

• 45:51Speaker 06

  Kylie, I got you, I got you these 8 a.m. golf ball C-Box. Just free, I got you these Nikes that I tore the back on already.

• 46:57Speaker 03

  Travis, what would you do if hypothetically I was going to make you a cleat? Would you try it?

• 47:03Travis Kelce?

  No.

• 47:04Speaker 03

  I mean, I would do it nice, though. I would do a good job with it.

• 47:08Travis Kelce?

  No. I wouldn't do a shitty one.

• 47:11Speaker 03

  Can I, would you just try it, though?

• 47:13Travis Kelce?

  No. Damn. Why?

• 47:17Speaker 03

  Because I think I'm going to do that.

• 47:19Travis Kelce?

  You're going to do what?

• 47:21Speaker 03

  I'm going to make a cleat.

• 47:21Travis Kelce?

  I'll cobble you a shoe.

• 47:22Speaker 03

  I'll cobble you a shoe.

• 47:24Travis Kelce?

  Well, what kind of shoe? Cleat. No, not a cleat. You can do a shoe, but not a cleat.

• 47:30Speaker 03

  Why not a cleat?

• 47:31Travis Kelce?

  Because I don't trust your cleats.

• 47:33Speaker 03

  I'm going to do it in the utmost. I'm going to use the right techniques.

• 47:38Travis Kelce?

  No, you're not.

• 47:39Speaker 03

  I'm going to use the mold of the old cleats that used to like the Guardians or whatever they were called. I got a pair of those.

• 47:47Speaker 03

  You told me whatever cleat you used to wear.

• 47:50Travis Kelce?

  I technically, I still wear it.

• 47:53Speaker 03

  No, not the, not the Jordan one, the other one?

• 47:55Travis Kelce?

  It's the same cleat.

• 47:57Speaker 03

  The Jordan cleat?

• 47:58Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 47:58Speaker 03

  It's not the same cleat?

• 48:00Travis Kelce?

  I'll talk about it a little later. AKA, no, I'm not doing it. All right. You got flanked. You got flanked.
