If you are naming the football’s funniest duo and you skip over the Kelce brothers, instant flag on the play, and you’re benched. These two are not just gridiron legends; they have become a hilarious podcast powerhouse. Last Tuesday, the duo dropped a new episode of their fan-favorite show “New Heights“, and this one has a twist: the Kelce brothers have stepped out of the turf and landed into “Dad mode“. That’s right, the New Heights Parenting Advice Hotline is open for calls and advice to make your parenting process easier. And Jason Kelce? Oh, he’s got thoughts.

Now, don’t let the brawny build fool you. Jason Kelce may be a monster in the offensive line, but off the field, he’s a full-time dad. The former Philadelphia Eagles Center, six-time Pro Bowler, has bulldozed linebackers and protected quarterbacks like a human freight train. But can he survive the “snack-stealing” toddler tantrums? We will see to that. Spoiler Alert: Jason is bringing the same ferocity to fatherhood. Jason doesn’t do well with the new-age, gentle parenting. He is more into an “eye for an eye“. This man has hunted defensive linemen for 13 seasons, so you better believe he is not gonna give soft-gloved parenting advice.

On this week’s live call, things got spicy. A mom called in with a concerning dilemma. Her complaint? Her daughter has taken her sweet tooth to a criminal level. This little “snack-stealer” is snatching and stealing gummy worms and hiding them in her diaper. In dire need of help, her question was, “How do I get my kid to stop stealing snacks?” Well, Jason did not hold back. “Your kid’s a thief,” he declared, and then he provided a solution from his ‘tough-love’ parenting book.

Jason replied, “I would go to countries where it’s an eye for an eye, where they cut your hands off for stealing, I mean, listen, if you keep doing this, this could happen one day.” Jason believes in “rule by fear,” and scaring these little troublemakers is the only way to refrain them. He added, “And then hopefully they stop stealing.” He has a solution for this as well. “And the next time they steal something, take their hand and act like- uh, act like you’re gonna cut their hand off, you just get to the point where they start to cry. You are acting like you’re gonna cut it off, so you traumatize them into thinking that they shouldn’t steal.” Extreme? Yes. Hilarious? Also yes. Well, that’s just the Kelce way of dealing with problems.

While Jason’s parenting philosophies had social media buzzing, Travis was dealing with a different spotlight. After his Super Bowl loss to the Eagles, Travis and Taylor Swift were away from the media for a bit. But Travis fans and Swifties can relax. Travis and Taylor are still a team. Travis has announced he will be back with the Kansas City Chiefs this season. And through it all, the Kelce brothers have each other’s backs.

Now back to Jason: even the feisty, tough guy has a soft side to him. He admits that his daughters have him wrapped around their tiny fingers. Jason says, as challenging as it may be, “The most rewarding thing is just smiles. To me, seeing them smile or seeing them laugh, like nothing in this world makes you feel better.” Okay, that’s adorable! But the girl-dad vibe that Jason’s rocking didn’t happen overnight; it’s a result of a full-blown bootcamp by his wife Kylie Kelce. And what does she have to say about this phenomenal transformation?

Is Jason Kelce planning his escape?

Jason might have been a veteran NFL player, and tackled on-field pressure points, but he is yet to face his toughest opponent! Nothing can prepare Jason for the chaos that’s coming. No, we are not talking about post-retirement boredom or podcast drama. This chaos concerns his four little daughters.

Kylie Kelce, who married the Philadelphia Eagles Center in 2018, just dropped a gem on the podcast, Not Skinny Not Fat, and it has raised concerns for every girl-dad out there. With daughter Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and newborn Finnley already running the show, Kylie’s got a game plan for when their teen years roll in. The plan? Jason packing bags to ‘move out‘. She reminisced about her feisty teenage years with her sister, and is ready to help Jason escape the chaos, “I told Jason he’s allowed to move out as long as he comes visit me”.

Kylie believes staying at a house with four teenage daughters would be troublesome. In the podcast, while speaking about her relationship with Jason, she shared that Jason had a lopsided idea about women, until he met his wife. The 33-year-old social media sensation states, “I think he has a very skewed idea of women… which is probably why he was blessed with four daughters.” Jason grew up “with only a brother and the only females in his house were his mom and his dog.” Though Kylie still has time to prepare Jason for teen-drama and these moments are still a few years away, her words gave fans a rare, hilarious peek into the behind the scenes of Kelce’s household. Well, Kylie is speaking from experience; she grew up with an older sister, so you better believe she knows what’s coming.

It seems the power couple isn’t just raising their daughters, they’re raising the bar on parenting as well. But what does the former center player have to say about this “move-out” plan? Can he successfully block this chaotic defense?
