Jason Kelce has a new title: most committed brother in America. On the latest“New Heights”episode, he explained that he called Travis at 7:30 in the morning for a favor during his“Squatober”challenge. Travis answered expecting an emergency, maybe a busted knee from a run, and instead got a request to come spot some squats. Jason even flew into Kansas City with two 25 lb. weights and extra plates for the bar, because you don’t leave leg day to chance.
Travis called it“the most meathead thing I think I’ve ever seen Jason do,”and the moment got even better when he left the room to go help. Taylor Swift’s reaction?“This is f—ed up.”No notes, honestly. 7:30 a.m. is not a reasonable hour for anything that doesn’t involve coffee.
The weekend wasn’t all early alarms, though. Jason and Taylor both showed up at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday to watch Travis and the Chiefs beat the Chargers 22-6, so the squat saga had a happy ending for everyone except Taylor’s sleep. Would you answer a 7:30 a.m. call from your sibling for a gym favor, or is that an automatic decline?
