On the latest episode of the “New Heights” podcast, brothers Travis and Jason Kelce provided fans with an entertaining glimpse into their lives, showcasing their signature humor and brotherly banter. The episode, released on February 24, catches Travis’s shocked reaction to Jason’s new hairdo, which he likens to Keanu Reeves’s iconic character, John Wick. “Hey Jason, you look a lot like John Wick,” Travis exclaimed, prompting laughs from both brothers as Jason humbly downplayed the comparison, saying, “I don’t want to be an action actor.”
The light-hearted exchange quickly transitioned to more profound topics, including Travis’s recent vacation with pop star Taylor Swift. Jason cleverly probed, “Did you just have a very peaceful vacation?” Travis’s face lit up as he detailed their idyllic getaway, complete with golden sunshine and crystal-clear waters. “It was absolutely amazing,” he noted, recalling moments of swimming, snorkeling, and even a private beach performance by Swift. “We were sitting on the beach at sunset, Taylor singing softly with just a guitar… it was really special.”
Jason, embodying the role of an inquisitive brother, teased Travis about the romantic vibes of the vacation, joking that Taylor’s music must have been the soundtrack to their getaway. Travis chuckled, admitting that her song “You Belong With Me” did indeed fit the beachy atmosphere. The brothers shared a laugh as Jason made a humorous remark about sunburns, showcasing the close-knit relationship they share.
As the conversation shifted, the podcast took a more serious tone when discussing Travis’s uncertain future with the Kansas City Chiefs. With a retirement decision looming, Travis has until March 14 to evaluate his options. He is eligible for an $11.5 million roster bonus due on March 15, coinciding with the start of the NFL’s free agency period. Travis expressed to listeners that he is taking his time with this significant choice. “I know everybody wants to know whether or not I’m playing next year, and right now I’m just kicking everything down the road,” he remarked.
Jason weighed in, suggesting that Travis likely has an inkling of his decision already. “I think he probably in his heart already knows what he wants to do,” he shared on another podcast. With both brothers acknowledging the pressures of the game, Travis emphasized that if he decides to return, it will be a wholehearted commitment to his teammates.
As the Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles still looms in the background, fans are left speculating about whether Travis wants to exit the game on a high note or continue to compete. While the Chiefs are navigating their own salary cap challenges, Travis’s potential retirement could significantly impact the team’s financial landscape.
Despite the uncertainty, the Kelsey brothers continue to entertain audiences, blending humor and heartfelt moments on their podcast. Fans eagerly await their next episode, set to release on February 26, where Travis is expected to delve deeper into his personal and professional life, including the decision that could define his legacy in the NFL. As they navigate the complexities of life both on and off the field, the Kelsey brothers remain a beloved duo, captivating fans with their genuine connection and relatable stories.
