When Travis Confessed His Plan to Give Taylor Swift His Digits
Before Taylor Swift was cheering him on in her suite seats, Travis made it known that he was trying to get connected with her.
After seeing her in concert back in July, the Chiefs tight end confessed he intended to slip her his number, but didn’t get the opportunity to do so.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs she sings, so I was a little butthurt that I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” Travis explained.
“I received a bunch of them while I was there, but I wanted to give her one with my number on it,” he said.
Jason, feigning confusion then asked, “Your number as in 87 or your phone number?” to which Travis cheekily responded, “You know which one.”

When They Shared Their Stances on Listening to Christmas Music Outside the Holidays
Though they’re totally fine with jamming to some Christmas tunes in spring or summer, the brothers did agree that listening to music immediately after the holidays is a big no-no.
“You gotta stop,” Jason said, before Travis joked, “If you’re still listening to Christmas music on the 26th or in January, that’s where I draw f—ing line.”

When Travis Revealed His Outlandish First Splurge
During a June episode, Travis revealed he spent part of his rookie check on a very pricey pair of sneakers: the Nike MAG Back to the Future shoes.
According to Man of Many, those sneakers are valued anywhere between $7,500 to $10,000, and popular sneaker website StockX has some listed for a whopping $99,999.
Needless to say, big brother Jason wasn’t too pleased to hear about his brother’s rookie purchase. “I had a feeling the first thing you were gonna buy was something clothing-related or shoe-related,” Jason said.
“I didn’t think that was your rookie year, but somebody came and told me that you had bought those shoes and I looked them up and saw how much they were,” he told his bro. “I remember being like ‘What the f— Travis! You’re spending that much money on shoes?'”

When Jason Got Kicked Out of a Woman’s Lacrosse Game for Playing an African Drum
We know Travis likes to dance, but it seems he’s not the only Kelce with some musical prowess.
Apparently, Jason went through a phase in which he was very invested in African drumming, so much so that he’d take his drum to every sports game he went to at their alma mater, Cleveland Heights High School.
One such game was a women’s lacrosse game, where he wound up getting kicked out for practicing his musical hobby in the stands.

When They Confessed to Being Hardcore Boy Band Fans
Though they were heavily into sports, the Kelce brothers weren’t immune to the boy band fever of the late ’90s. In this clip, the pair hashed out the reasons why they took different sides.
Travis, “the dancer,” was more into *NSYNC because of their elaborate dance numbers, while Jason gravitated towards Backstreet Boys as they were more about the vocals.

When Their Parents Discussed Their Hilarious Meet-Cute
In a clip posted back in February, the boys got back to their roots and inquired about the full story of how their parents met.
Apparently, Donna was meant to go on a date with another guy when Ed saw her, hit her with a not-so-cool-yet-charming pickup line, scooped her and the rest was history.
“Mom actually told us you stole her from her date,” Travis said. “You swooped her up. She was supposed to go to a play with another guy and [you] told her, ‘Screw that bum, let’s make some NFL babies,’ ” he joked.

When Jason Addressed Comments About His Game Day Fits
While Travis has risen as one of the NFL’s best-dressed players, his brother has gotten equal attention for his lack of verve regarding his game day fits.
The older Kelce addressed the chatter surrounding his hyper-casual dress code in one episode, saying, “What the f— do I care about a game day fit? Some people go to play football and some people play dress up. I don’t like to play dress up, I like to play football,” he said.
“I’m not gonna go shopping, color-coordinating, getting belts and shoes and all this s—, just to go play football,” he added. “I don’t get it.”
