Interviewer: My favorite football watching food is definitely crab fries.
Interviewer: The best Super Bowl halftime performer of all time, well, at least the one that I saw in person, was Rihanna.
Interviewer: And speaking of Super Bowls, I'm the proud sister-in-law of a three-time Super Bowl champion from the Kansas City Chiefs, the best tight end of all time, the king of funkels, and the big yeti. You know him from breaking chairs and saying, "Alright nah," on the other podcast. Hannah. It's the one and only Uncle Trev! Kai, what is up? Welcome to Not Gonna Lie.
Interviewee: This is exciting. This is silly. This is long overdue.
Interviewer: This is so silly. It's long overdue.
Interviewee: This is gonna be unhinged. I now feel how you feel when you have to be interviewed by me and Jason, which is an exaggeration because interviewing is the last thing that we actually do.
Interviewee: Oh man. Um, not gonna lie for, it feels pretty cool. Feels pretty cool. Um, I, I feel like when, when you started this, not gonna lie, it was like, you were coming out with aggressive takes.
Interviewer: Yes. You were not fucking around.
Interviewee: No, I'm not. And I was terrified of them because I do not like aggressive takes. I like to play a nice medium take. Yeah. And let Jason do the aggressive takes. Yeah. Like you guys got that side of the family. Yeah. I'm holding down the middle takes. Isn't that silly that we matched up on that?
Interviewer: Of course. I feel like there's no fucking around over there.
Interviewee: No, none.
Interviewer: It is the best though.
Interviewee: Is it? Yeah. Okay. It is. I admire it.
Interviewee: All right, here we go. We got to do it. I can't not say no to this. This is, this is something I've.
Interviewer: You could have said no. I told you you could say no. I owe you this. You owe me nothing.
Interviewee: I only want to be a good brother-in-law as you've been a good sister-in-law. That's very kind.
Interviewer: Well, I'm very grateful you did agree to do this because it is literally the perfect time here during Super Bowl week. It's rare we even typically get a chance to speak this week of the year. Yeah. Because of the last five Super Bowls, six, you have played in five of them.
Interviewee: So this is typically a busy time of year. Yeah. It's pretty crazy. And I say that because I think obviously I'm sure it still stings that you guys didn't do what you wanted to do this year because it does every time. It doesn't end in a hoisting the Lombardi.
Interviewer: Exactly. But to have that on your resume, not only individually, your accomplishments, but your team, the coaching staff you've been able to do it with, Pat, the other staples you guys have on the Chiefs.
Interviewee: Oh yeah. That is unreal. It's pretty insane. And I kind of got the first like step back this year when Pat went down and we lost the last however many games. And I got to kind of cope with it in that moment and still be in the building with Coach Reed and the guys that I love and in Kansas City and try and make it the best scenario possible as the year ended there. And then have taken a step back and really like looked around and like, man, this run has been crazy and it feels weird not to be doing anything right now. Like I was talking to Edelman the other day when he was doing the other podcast and he was telling me how he still in like January grows his beard out just because he like doesn't know any other way. And I'm just like, man, I feel exactly what you're saying. Cause especially after a long season like that and Jason does this almost year round, but now he's on TV. So he does it. He keeps it a little cleaned up, but, uh, you just, you stop caring about how you look cause you're just going into the building doing the same thing every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. And you just, you get into this, like this mode of like, I'm, I'm beat up, but I fucking love this and I want to keep going. I got to keep remembering that I love this. Who's the next opponent? Yeah. Who is it? Bring them in. And it's just, it gets to that point where now I'm like watching it and, um, yeah, it stings. It stings, especially cause I felt like this year's team in a lot of ways was better than last year's team. And last year's team, we only lost two games. It was insane.
Interviewer: It feels a little weird that there's not like, there's not like an, an end cap to the weekend in a way that there has been previously. You've given us a really fun, really fun six years.
Interviewee: It's nuts, man. It's been nuts because obviously when you're in it, it all happens so fast. So being able to take that step back this year is just kind of like, I don't know. I'm still proud of the work that we've, we've done.
Interviewer: And you should be. Who knows if we can keep that thing going.
Interviewee: I think it's a nice break to run it back next year. Just, I already knocked on there.
Interviewer: It's a hella wood. Okay. There we go. Uh, now you're up for Walter Payton man of the year at NFL honors. So congratulations. It's your third nomination. Is that right?
Interviewee: I think this is my first time being nominated. This is my first time being nominated. I could actually go to the stuff. So I'll be at honors tonight and then I'll be at the, uh, the game.
Interviewer: I'll see you there. Nice.
Interviewee: Are you presenting?
Interviewer: Why the fuck would I be presenting? Oh, Jason is not.
Interviewee: Not gonna lie, I think you'd be pretty good at presenting.
Interviewer: Thank you so much. No, I'm not. That sounds like my personal nightmare. Um, Jason is no, just like the problem. You're just reading it from like, nope. A football length field. I'm going to leave that to you.
Interviewee: We're going to leave it to Jason. Perfect. I'm just going to be up there saying hi. It'll just be the two second, the two second kids in the audience. Like you're doing great. We, we believe in you really hit that exclamation point, Jason. So Memphis.
Interviewer: Um, now you do so much incredible work for operation breakthrough in Kansas city. What have you been up to recently with them in the ignition lab?
Interviewee: Well, that is a well-oiled machine that has been going on. Mary has it covered over there. Mary Ellsman is the best. She's one of my favorite people. And one of the, one of the biggest like community representatives that I know in Kansas city, she knows everyone. Everyone loves her. The kids that have gone through operation breakthroughs from when they were in preschool. Um, I've been there long enough now to literally see them go from preschool into the ignition lab, get college degrees. Those of you that don't know what the ignition lab is. It's a bunch of, uh, programs, uh, through science, technology, engineering, math that give these kids opportunities that they wouldn't have otherwise. So there's a mechanic shop. There's an entertainment studio. Um, my dad has done podcasts with the kids. Um, there's a culinary, there's a kitchen that like kids are using everything that they can in here to just, you know, create a business or get, uh, get an understanding of, you know, what exactly, uh, these opportunities are, you know, whatever they're interested in.
Interviewer: I had the absolute pleasure of being, uh, toured around, uh, by Mary when we were in Kansas city for one of the games, uh, against the Eagles. You were saying that there's a culinary lab, but there's also an agricultural side of things. They have, um, different, uh, like they plant crops and make sure that they do compost and all of those types of things. But then they're actually using those ingredients, the herbs, all of those things in the culinary lab. And then they're using the graphic design labs to create menus and things. So it's the most, honestly, it was like, it felt like you were watching an ecosystem. It's pretty crazy. And the cool thing is, is that you could potentially take that model and put it into other cities.
Interviewee: So that's, that's what my, uh, 87 or running my foundation has been trying to do into Cleveland. Um, it's a process. There's it, listen, there's a, there's a need for it in every city, you know, cause you need somebody like a Mary that's there running it and making it what it is. Um, and she's just, she's a superstar. So shout out to Mary. Appreciate you being, being you. You're the, she's, she's.
Interviewer: Now we just have to clone her.
Interviewee: Yeah. Perfect. We need you to find the next Mary. Real quick. For all the other cities we want to touch.
Interviewer: Um, I hope this goes without saying, we're so proud of all the work that you've done. And obviously knowing that it truly comes from your heart to help the community that you currently live in and then always giving back to Cleveland in any way that you can. So, um, even if you don't win tonight, operation breakthrough is going to win because we're going to make a donation from not going to lie.
Interviewee: What?
Interviewer: Yes. Of course, because we love what they're doing. And we of course would like to say thank you. And the best way to do that is to impact the communities that you love. So, um, um, all right now, of course, I, I guess we should get back to Queen Emma's rundown now because otherwise she'll lose her mind.
Interviewer: Um, coming up on today's uncle Travis Super Bowl special. I'm going to ask Travis as many of the questions that you guys submitted for the ask me some things. Uh, and we call it ask me some things because these motherfuckers don't know when to quit. You guys asked some of the most inappropriate questions. We're not doing that. They, this is the segment. I also, this happens whether or not you're here. So let's just be clear. We set that boundary clear. Um, I'm also going to have Trav help me out with his first ever doom scroll of the week where we find out right from the source, if he is indeed a cool uncle and revisit why it's famous naughty and sneaky clip. Uh, plus we're going to talk about my earliest days with the Kelsey family. But before we get into all of that, let's start with a real one comment of the week. Uh, and this one might have to go in the real one comment hall of fame because it's so good. I had to bring it back. I just addressed this on the show recently.
Interviewer: Trav, as my guest, do you want to do the honors and read this one? Uh, it's from Tina on YouTube.
Interviewee: Tina, Tina on YouTube. Why do the Kelsey family swear so much? At least Trevor and Kylie do.
Interviewer: So Trevor, what are your thoughts?
Interviewee: That is a bot. If I've ever seen it, Tina dash ID one Z Q. Yes. Uh, let me be clear. My initial reaction to this was trolling everyone.
Interviewer: Purposely getting, I said, who the fuck is Trevor? That was how I started.
Interviewee: Trevor just sounds like an evil version of me. Like it's like my second, my alter ego, my alter ego. That's just like, we don't let Trevor out. Trevor only comes out when, when shit goes down. To be honest, coach or a new, like dad would say Trevor instead of Travis. I used to. Wait, people actually. I mean, yeah, they're similar names in that regard. Yeah. You guys are fucking up. You have, you've never gotten Kaylee. Oh, I get Kaylee. That's what I'm saying. Honestly, you know what people get me with? Kelsey. They call me Kelsey as if it's my first name and then they apologize and call me Kelsey again.
Interviewee: It's the most, listen, I've me and names are not, we're not, you're not friends. No, no, no. I do a lot of those like big guys and boss. Hey man's and yeah. Sup dogs. You are a big guy.
Interviewer: You big guy. You're big on big guy. Everyone. I big, little guys. Yeah. But I feel like that makes people feel good and you deliver in a way that's like, you're like genuine.
Interviewee: I just don't know people's names. I can't wait for the next person you see and you're like, Hey big dog. And like so many fucking just miserable stories of me not knowing names. The number of times I've leaned into your brother and been like, that's, and he'll be like, Hey, so-and-so. And like, I call it the Veep. I don't know if you've ever seen the show Veep. No. Oh, uh, Julia Dreyfuss has a, uh, basically a handler who stands behind her and whispers, that's Tim and his daughter goes to Penn state. And then she's like, how's your daughter Katie? Is she enjoying Penn state? And that's me and Jason.
Interviewee: So I was at, I was at the Phoenix open yesterday before we went to playing golf and the gentleman at the big 16th hole. It's like the, the, it's like this one golf hole has an entire arena around it. It's crazy. It felt like I was walking into like the Coliseum or something when I, when I went through the tunnel and the guy hands me the, the microphone and in my, in my mind, I was saying, you're in Phoenix, you're in Phoenix, you're in Phoenix. Cause I didn't want to say Kansas city. What's up? Cause I had, I had a few drinks, but so in my mind, I'm telling myself that and I got that from doing a Kelsey jam, this musical festival that I do out in Casey all the time. And I saw one of the artists going up to perform and their manager or somebody was in their ear, you're in Kansas city. You are in Kansas city. You are, do not forget you are in Kansas city. And I'm pretty sure that that's like, that's pretty common that if somebody's moving around like that, you get the wrong city. There's nothing worse. If I would have went up there, I would have got booed so bad. I would have said anything but Phoenix.
Interviewer: I think if you had said Kansas city, I think if you go anywhere and you say Kansas city, like kind of like, it would sound like you're addressing Chiefs fans. You know what I mean? You're like, where are my people? So if that happens, I think you just lean in and you're like, go chiefs, you know, like lean in and be like, that was intentional. Yeah. Just keep that in your back pocket. You're in Kansas. You're not, you're not Kansas. You're in Phoenix. You're in Phoenix. Well, now you're in San Francisco. So San Fran. Don't call it San Fran. This is the only mic that I'm getting in front of.
Interviewee: Don't call it San Fran. Can't call it San Fran. You're not allowed to call it San Fran. I've been warned multiple.
Interviewer: No, no one is. It's SF or it's San Francisco. One woman who I met on the street actually said to my face, it's triggering, which I'm, I'm concerned.
Interviewee: No, it's not.
Interviewer: Do not tell San Francisco people that we're kidding. We're not, but we are a little.
Interviewee: I am standing on that. That is not, that should not. Trav's about to San Fran the fuck out of this place. Like what? I'm going to purposely say it to everyone from San Fran now.
Interviewer: Now, uh, I have to get back to Tina, Tina, Tina and her Trevor. So why do we swear so much?
Interviewee: Um, I feel like there's a level of, uh, not giving a fuck as the second kid that I think we just, we relate to that. And we don't do it in like an aggressive way. We just kind of grew up and that's how it like put people at ease. Like, Oh, I'm not that serious. I'm just fucking chilling.
Interviewer: It, it also, it like, why are you putting so much power on those words? Why are you getting offended by it? It's just meant to emphasize your point, right? That's it.
Interviewee: It just spices up your sentence a little. And you could use those words for multiple things. Like they're like universally, like, like shit could be a lot. You could be a lot of different shit. So
Interviewer: shit applies to a lot. Fuck applies to a lot. Fucking right. I say suck my ass. That applies to a lot.
Interviewee: I say it on that Tina suck my ass, Tina.
Interviewer: Um, I actually say it on sales calls. The sales team can confirm. I say it on sales calls. Nice. Yep. Every so often we get a suck my ass. That means we're not entertaining that universal because it applies to a lot.
Interviewer: Um, now the first time that we actually met was when you told the family that you were doing that Hawaii.
Interviewee: Uh, we got to come and cheer you on in pro bowl. That was actually a really, really fun weekend. That was very fun.
Interviewer: That was a blast. Um, fun introduction. I would like to bring up when you and Jason were at the pool for quite some time.
Interviewee: Yeah. Having Mai Tais. Yes. Okay. Those didn't end well. I have not brought this up in a long time.
Interviewer: Oh God. And we were in what was like a two bedroom with like a little living room and a little kitchenette. And I heard a commotion we'll call it in the living room.
Interviewee: Oh God.
Interviewer: And I came out of the room, opened the doors and I could see through the little cut, cut out to the kitchenette. That Jason was in the sink, lapping up water like a dog. Okay. With the faucet on, no cup, just, just taking the, to the dome.
Interviewee: You gotta get that hydration in before you go to sleep. Everyone knows that.
Interviewer: The best thing was when I looked to my left and Travis was against the wall like this, staring forward while I was staring at the side of his head. I didn't have anything to do with this. I wasn't here. Legitimately, you were like, I am part of the wall now. And you didn't say a word. If I didn't move, you weren't going to see me. You weren't there. You were camouflaged completely.
Interviewee: It was a debacle. Those Mai Tais hit a little bit stronger over there on Turtle Bay.
Interviewer: I know. Holy smokes. Because before I went back to the room and left you two to your own devices, I went over to Jason who was like this in the pool. And I was like, Hey, so I'm going back to the room and I think you should come. I think we should just, I think we should go. We've been here since the afternoon. It's dark now. And he went and stayed in the pool. And I was like, okay, I'm leaving you here. I don't, I don't know what's happening. You look like a toddler having a tantrum. Like your parents like, get out of the pool. It's time to go. And he, it was ridiculous.
Interviewee: Yeah. That is so funny. You remember that?
Interviewer: No, it's, it's stuck in there. To be fair, I did not have as many Mai Tais as you guys.
Interviewee: It was, yeah, that was, that might be the last time I had a Mai Tais. They did a number on me that I could never get, I could taste that right now.
Interviewer: Yeah. No thanks. Now that was, Hawaii was the first time we met. Do you remember meeting for the first time?
Interviewee: I mean, I remember that weekend vaguely.
Interviewer: Can we get hit in the head?
Interviewee: That was a lot, I know. A lot of Mai Tais.
Interviewer: A lot of Mai Tais.
Interviewee: A lot of Mai Tais.
Interviewer: But yeah, of course. What was your first impression?
Interviewee: That I had only seen, really, I had never seen Jason, like, how do I put this?
Interviewer: I do have, I do have a question about, that we, based on Jason's past girlfriends, or lack thereof.
Interviewee: Can we get him?
Interviewer: I think there's literally, you said what now?
Interviewee: I didn't mean any of those.
Interviewer: There was one, at least, like, your mom and dad remember him, we'll call it dating, with air quotes, because I don't even think that he would have said that he was dating. Who knows? Regardless, that there was maybe one person.
Interviewee: Right, correct.
Interviewee: That's the thing. So I had never seen him, one, be so into someone, but also I had never seen someone be able to, like, kind of control the bear, you know?
Interviewer: Like, you, like, yes, channel is a great way to put it. And him, like, not immediately fight back about it. Like, obviously, he has his ways of just being Jason.
Interviewee: Yes.
Interviewee: But at the same time, it's like, you gave him a reason to team up. And he's the best team player in the world. Like, he's why he's so unbelievable at everything competitively. But he's wholeheartedly in it. And you were the first person I've seen him, like, actually, like, want to team up with and, like, I don't know, respect their opinions. Like, you're really the only one still to this day.
Interviewer: You'd be surprised. Every so often he'll ask me something and I'll give an opinion. My favorite, I can't even remember what it was, but in, like, recent years, I told him something. I gave him advice on something. And maybe a week or two later, he came back and he was like, I said, so, like, how's it going? And he was like, well, Travis said.
Interviewee: Oh, no.
Interviewer: And then he proceeded to say, I shit you not. No, I shit you not. The exact same advice I had given him. Like, you and I gave the exact same feedback. And the best part is, and he was like, and then I, like, looked into it. And I was like, you know what? Trav's right. And I was like, this is one of those moments. This is about being a team player, okay? We still got there.
Interviewee: We did.
Interviewer: Whether you had to say it or I said it, we still got there. Nice. So that was good teamwork. And I appreciate your efforts there.
Interviewee: Listen, I'm always a team player. I think, I think obviously you came in and, like, gave him a reason to be a better person. And I saw that from the jump. And it's because of how amazing of a person you are and how you carry yourself. And it was, it was cool seeing that at the beginning stages and seeing where you guys are now. Because you guys really did just, like, create this awesome, like, team and, like, little community of amazing little people.
Interviewer: Gosh, they are a mess. We're a mess. But we're having fun together. Yep. What had Jason already told you about me? Do you remember?
Interviewee: Nothing. No, me and Jason, we never talk about any of that stuff. We're just like, so how much you weigh in?
Interviewer: I will say.
Interviewee: You've been taping. What are you doing for recovery?
Interviewer: Yeah.
Interviewee: You cupping? What's happening?
Interviewer: Yeah.
Interviewer: No, I, Jason is notorious for that. He will come back and I will find something out from someone else. And I will say, hey, did you know that this happened? And he will say, yeah. And I'm like, huh, weird. You didn't tell me. And he'll be like, yeah. And so then I'll ask questions. I'll say, like, well, what happened? And he's like, don't know. Who was there? Don't know. I can't remember. When did it happen? I don't know.
Interviewee: Oh, no. I could dig for these details if you want me to.
Interviewer: Nope. I don't think it really matters.
Interviewee: No, he doesn't go that far. He's like, I don't know. And I don't care to know. And I call them girl questions.
Interviewer: Yeah. Because they're only questions girls would ask.
Interviewee: Taylor's made me so much better at that.
Interviewer: At getting the details.
Interviewee: You get the details.
Interviewer: That's what we want. Those are girl questions. Jason doesn't fucking care.
Interviewee: I'll go through an entire day. Like yesterday, I was going through the other podcast party.
Interviewer: Yes.
Interviewee: The whole time, I'm saying hi to all these familiar faces and some friends of Taylor's that I've been in the football world that I've been able to introduce her to. And I'm just like, all right, got to remember, saw that person. Got to remember, saw that person. I'm going to want some details because she didn't get a chance to go. So I'm just sitting here like, details.
Interviewer: That's so caring of you.
Interviewee: And then the beers just make a lot of the details go away. And you're just like, this is how I never remember the details.
Interviewer: Right, right, right. Blame the garage beer.
Interviewee: It's a good product.
Interviewer: Yep. It's a great product. And it will help you forget the girl questions.
Interviewer: Now, did Jason tell you about his plan for proposing ahead of time? Did he?
Interviewee: Did he?
Interviewer: What?
Interviewee: Yes. This is the only time I was like, I was like, oh.
Interviewer: You had the girl, the girl answers.
Interviewee: I was like, dude, how are you going to do it?
Interviewer: Did you really?
Interviewee: How are you going to do it? Yes. He had this whole, I knew more about the details of what he wanted to do than I did him telling me the details of how he actually did it. If that makes sense.
Interviewer: Sure. You don't know what happened. You know what was supposed to happen.
Interviewee: What was supposed to happen. Okay. Fair. But I don't even still to this day know exactly
Interviewer: how it happened. Sure. What was supposed to, do you remember what was supposed to happen?
Interviewee: He was supposed to serenade you. Oh. What the fuck? You didn't hear this? Jason was, yes.
Interviewer: Breaking news.
Interviewee: What? Am I the only one who knew this?
Interviewer: I'm sorry, what? Yes. Tell us all the girl details.
Interviewee: There was a scenario from what he was saying that your dad did for your mom. Oh, no. Do you know about this?
Interviewer: What? I know how my dad asked my mom. We can bleep this so that the crew knows.
Interviewee: Well, that's not what Jason told me I did. But he was going to sing. I thought there was a, there was a, there was a moment where your dad may have sang to your mother. Who knows? I don't know.
Interviewer: I don't know either now. See the details all got crossed up. I thought he was going to serenade you and like be outside the house and you were going to hear him singing and he was going to come out. I thought I remembered hearing that from him. Okay. Looking back on it now, that was never going to happen.
Interviewee: I don't think. No. He asked me on the front lawn of my parents' house.
Interviewer: No. So, still outside, still outside. We were still outside. He went inside. I thought he had to take a shit because he was like, I got to go back in the house. And I was like, we're not stopping on the way home. So like, you should go take a shit. And he came back out within two seconds, which if you know your brother, that's not how long that takes. No chance. He went in to ask and lease their permission. Nice. And it was a quick ask because of course they were like, yeah.
Interviewee: That's awesome. Yeah. It was, yeah. A bunch of bullshit.
Interviewer: Well, he didn't serenade you that time at least. He didn't.
Interviewee: I, no, he has multiple times though.
Interviewer: Yeah. Um, oftentimes when intoxicated, one of the first times we ever hung out.
Interviewee: Like, do you like raspy, like low raspy or do you like high raspy?
Interviewer: I like when he goes low raspy. Oh, all right. Yeah. He has like character to his voice.
Interviewee: He does. No, 100%. That is lovely. And he likes to make jokes that like, he's not a good singer. He knows he's a good singer. He knows he's going to send it and have fun doing it. And that's. And it sounds good. And everyone enjoys hearing it.
Interviewee: There you go. He made an entire two albums. Yeah, he did. Of Christmas songs.
Interviewer: Yes, he did. That's crazy.
Interviewee: Mm-hmm. We don't talk about that around here.
Interviewer: The voice of an angel. Ew.
Interviewer: Um, okay. So what is your best guess as to where Wyatt heard naughty and sneaky before?
Interviewee: I mean, it has to be you.
Interviewer: Um, a lot of people thought that maybe I was saying it about you. That's where she got that. Like, oh, uncle Travis, naughty and sneaky.
Interviewee: It wasn't. She heard you say that about somebody else.
Interviewer: And then I would think that I had said it about her.
Interviewee: Oh, that makes sense.
Interviewer: So I do want to clear that up. That makes sense. I don't think uncle Travis, naughty or sneaky.
Interviewee: Yeah.
Interviewer: He's, he's a, a well-known flanker.
Interviewee: I know.
Interviewee: I'm, but that's all day.
Interviewer: Yeah. But that's not naughty and sneaky.
Interviewee: No.
Interviewer: That's very straightforward.
Interviewee: That's just survival.
Interviewer: Right? That's how he's gotten this far in life. That's how he's lived this long.
Interviewee: I'm still offended. That hurt me for like the thousandth time when she told me, I don't want you to have it. I was like, what did I do?
Interviewer: Now, have you dared to put on another wig in front of Wyatt since this happened?
Interviewee: Um, well, that was, I mean, I'll throw a wig on right now. With why, but we'll see what we can line up for next time. I forget where that pink. I think Jason came home with the, uh, cause he was doing the beard painting and all that.
Interviewer: And like when he, oh, when he shaved his head.
Interviewee: Yeah. So he, he just had that laying around and I put it on.
Interviewer: Yeah. She didn't like it.
Interviewee: Not on.
Interviewer: And you know what's great? There was no question about whether or not she liked it. She said, nope, you're not supposed to be wearing that. That is not for you, sir. The best.
Interviewer: Um, what are some other things that you do, uh, with the girls or that the girls make you do when you're visiting? Um, cause I'm on record saying that you are like, I mean, airtime.
Interviewee: They do not. They want to be anti-gravity.
Interviewer: That's true.
Interviewee: They want to be in the air.
Interviewer: Yes.
Interviewee: Flying, acting as planes.
Interviewer: I just like that when both you and Taylor are around that, all of the kids are like, well, Benny thinks they're like, so it don't work. That's ridiculous. Right. All the whole time.
Interviewee: So impressive.
Interviewer: And then the big girls are like, you could throw us for seven hours straight.
Interviewee: One hundred percent.
Interviewer: Yep. How's your shoulder feel about that?
Interviewee: Just got to get me. Oh, we're good now. We're good now. I got some good, got a whole note. I didn't do anything in January. So the shoulders are great right now.
Interviewer: Great.
Interviewee: Okay.
Interviewer: I'll let them know.
Interviewee: Yeah, exactly. The, uh, I feel like I'm always like making up for the last, like, from the last time I saw them to now on all the air time that they're missing out on.
Interviewer: Sure.
Interviewee: So I have to like.
Interviewer: Get it in.
Interviewee: Get it back up to where, where it should be. But you already know they're the best. I have so much fun just throwing them every which way and going outside.
Interviewer: I will say, I think, I think people probably assume this, but I'm sure that people want to know and they want confirmation that you are the best uncle. Well, you come in and you give them your undivided attention. You get down on the floor with them. You play whatever they ask you to play. You like really engage with them in a way that like, and I think you already know this because you do it, but like, they don't care like what you bring. You could bring like candy and toys and like, that's all fine. What they're the most excited about and what they're going to talk about for weeks afterwards is getting thrown around or getting to play Barbies on the floor or getting to do things that like is just about the quality time and having your attention.
Interviewee: Yeah.
Interviewee: And you have to, as, as the, the mom of the house, as the one that's keeping all of that together, I can just be a kid. Like I'm just, we're going in there. I'm just adding to the madness and just becoming a toddler with them. As you like, make sure that everyone's safe.
Interviewer: And yes, maintain boundaries.
Interviewee: Being around them just makes you want to be a kid again. It's the best. They're so fun.
Interviewer: And they love when Uncle Trav comes to visit.
Interviewee: Uncle Trav loves to come visit them.
Interviewer: Next up on the Uncle Trav scroll, Jason and I recently revisited the topic of how long we'd let you babysit the girls is Uncle Travis still allowed.
Interviewee: Oh, still not allowed to babysit.
Interviewer: I keep getting asked this question when our babies are still at like a crucial age where it would not be nice to do to Travis to make him babysit all four kids right now. If there was a situation where I needed him to babysit the older three kids. Good luck, Trav. See you in a couple of days. Like I'd fucking, I'd, I'd ditch them.
Interviewee: Yeah, I'm working on getting that to at least a couple of hours, honestly, to be fair.
Interviewer: And I said this, I it's, it's always, we always ask at the worst time because the last time we talked about it, Finn was still nursing and, and she's very into mom right now for whatever reason, how long would you feel confident babysitting all four girls?
Interviewee: However long you would need a babysitter.
Interviewer: Yeah.
Interviewer: Yeah. I think we're going to do the, we're going to do the knock up and then we're going to be driving away by the time you make it to the door and all four of them are going to be on the stoop. Like we're here.
Interviewee: You don't got to threaten me with a good time.
Interviewer: See you in a week.
Interviewer: Um, do you need to be coached up or you think you got it? Is there anything that you would be like, ah, I'm going to need some, some information on that?
Interviewee: Not a big directions guy, you know, like the manual to the TV and all that.
Interviewer: Like that is, that is known in the family.
Interviewee: I feel like I got some decent parameters.
Interviewer: See, it's funny you say it like that. If you ask big Ed Kelsey, he will always say you are not an instructions guy, that Jason's the one who would read the Legos all the way through and then start. And you were the one that was winging it. Maybe a couple extra pieces at the end, but you were, you had it.
Interviewee: We didn't need those. I think they give you a few extra pieces. That's the thing. There was always like, that was the running jokes. Like, oh, there's more pieces. And Travis is like, they look, clearly they were not talking about those were extra.
Interviewer: Last on Doomscroll, we looked for the cutest otter on TikTok that we could find in your honor. Have you met an otter?
Interviewee: No. I'm waiting for that moment. Okay. Well, catch one in the wild.
Interviewer: You mean that you want, you mean that, okay, to be clear, you want to see one in the wild. When you say catch one in the wild, you don't mean physically, okay, just great.
Interviewee: Okay.
Interviewer: Just grab it.
Interviewee: Catch it out outside and just like see it doing its otter thing.
Interviewer: Wouldn't that be the most exciting to get to see it in its natural habitat?
Interviewee: It's going to happen.
Interviewer: But maybe they want to be friends a little bit. Is that always your hope? Because that's always my hope is that if I meet an animal.
Interviewee: I feel like every time I go past some sort of like creek or river in my mind, there's an otter standing up on a rock waving to me. Like I've had dreams like this. This is crazy. It's just like, I just know they're like the friendly.
Interviewer: That's my friend Trav. Hey, what's up, big dog?
Interviewer: As a special surprise from us here at NGL, me and the girls, we actually adopted a giant river otter at the Philadelphia Zoo in your name. And of course, we use your legal name. We use Uncle Trav. Bring out the certificate. So now you have even more of a reason to come to Philadelphia.
Interviewee: First of all, big zoo guy. Uncle Trav, this is amazing.
Interviewer: That's for you. And I will say you might need your plugs because we visited them during a Fuck Around and Find Out episode.
Interviewee: Oh my God. It was deafening. I felt bad for our sound guy.
Interviewer: I will say, I think the giant river otters are not quite the cute fuzzy ones that you are thinking are waving to you from a rock. They're not, they're not the same, but these guys are fucking hilarious.
Interviewee: Giant river otter.
Interviewer: Mm-hmm.
Interviewee: There's a big old boy.
Interviewer: We'll look into it.
Interviewee: They're huge. Uncle Trav. Can't wait to meet you, dude.
Interviewer: Um, do you remember the garage door windows?
Interviewee: Yeah. But I don't remember that. Oh, the windows you're talking about the other garage. So the first garage in North Ridgeville, I notoriously got in the car and it went forward and I went through the garage door. So broke that garage, but our entire childhood, we use the garage doors at the Cleveland Heights house as backstops. Like it was like, it was like we could say, it was like, you know, the tennis walls that they have at parks. Yes. Like for some reason we had a tennis racket and a bunch of tennis balls and I would just fucking try to dent it. Yeah. Pete Sampras that thing to death. Um, and then it was like the backstop when like we would play catch. So the windows on it were broken. I'm assuming hockey shots too. There's holes. Yes, exactly. There's holes in it from the hockey pucks and the street hockey balls and all types of athletic stuff. Cause I'm, I'm pretty sure it was like, it was everything. It was footballs. It was, you name it. Like you could see like the imprint from like a basketball on, on the walls. Like it's like we painted it like a sports complex and uh, it was like guess the dent. Yes. So, but that was, I would say the most memorable for me was either the, the office, the computer window or the, the floor in the living room.
Interviewee: Tell me more. So, so I'll start with the computer. I'm at the house alone, probably middle school, eighth grade, somewhere around there. My dad had just got me a wooden baseball bat and I hadn't used it yet, but we had this like big net. We had this like net that wasn't that big, but it was there. And I was like trying to like, just feel what it felt like to hit it on the sweet spot. Yeah. Hit it over, just over the net, like grazed the top of the net and went straight into my dad's, uh, office window and he's not at the house. So I'm thinking what dad don't know won't hurt him. So I just start sweeping up some of the glass and I closed the, uh, the storm window as the regular window and just kind of like left it. And when like, didn't say anything for like the next, I guess my dad went back there to like mess with a few plugs and saw that there was just like shattered glass everywhere. Cause I only grabbed the big pieces. I was like, what the hell happened here? And then saw the window and came and said, Hey, this is like a month, two months later.
Interviewer: Oh, you got away with it for a while.
Interviewee: Oh yeah. They had no idea. Which one of you idiots broke the fucking window or a lot of this. I'm just sitting there like playing video games. Huh? Oh, I don't know.
Interviewee: A window. Who? Yeah. He knew exactly what it was.
Interviewee: And then there's the floor, the floor in the living room, another, you know, sweep it under the rug kind of thing. Uh, me and Jason are unsupervised at the house. Uh, this is probably middle school ish again. And when I say unsupervised, like parents run into the store and back. Um, but me and Jason are, we're wrestling, we're wrestling. And then he suplexes me, throws me into the couch. And as I hit the couch, I feel like me go through the couch into the floor and like through the floor. And we probably had just kind of like push the couch in another direction. Didn't my mom or dad had no idea until one day, I think my mom, uh, or my dad was like, either one of them was like cleaning up the house and vacuuming and like turn on, let me get under the couch and get some of this stuff under the couch. And they realized we had a hole in the floor. Yeah. Uh, that he could probably fit two tennis shoes in, but yeah, that was probably, it was that big. It was enormous. Me and Jason literally sat there like we can't. There's no turning back. We have to hide this forever. We have to take this to the grave.
Interviewer: Yeah.
Interviewer: Next up, scrapbook says, is there a group chat with the four of you, Jason, Kai, Travis and Taylor? Uh, and is it as fun as we think it is? Uh, well, I'll say this.
Interviewee: You can say none of your damn business. Yeah.
Interviewer: I'll say this. Cause I tell people that all the time on here. Of course there's a group chat. Are you kidding? Yeah. We're that's it. That's all you got.
Interviewee: Yeah. 100%.
Interviewer: Ha ha. Uh, next up from football girly pop. Do y'all have a favorite viral moment of each other? Um, I answered this question about Jason recently because he has lots. Um, and within this question, it became clear that you also have lots. So let's just, let's come up with a couple.
Interviewee: Fight for your right. That's fun. Um, so the beastie boys, I didn't mean to be that a part of that song. Um, but I appreciate you guys for creating it and letting me be a part of it. At least you haven't told me you hate me yet. So how could you, it's all in good fun. I'm just fighting for my right dudes to party.
Interviewer: Uh, on stage at the Iris tour as a backup dancer. That was, that was pretty insane.
Interviewee: You did a great job. I was pretty insane. I had never felt so small ever in my life.
Interviewer: That's crazy because you've been in full stadiums, but it's, that was a whole different animal. Like I felt like I was like an ant because of the, the, on a football field, like you're, you have space. Yeah. There's not a thousand people right up on you. And then you look into the stands and it's like not light on the crowd. It's just a kind of like a dark, like, Holy shit. There's a lot of people here. Yeah. And, um, but yeah, that was, you nailed it. Yeah. I didn't drop her. I promise.
Interviewee: That's all that was going through. It was the same as Phoenix, Phoenix, Phoenix, Phoenix, don't drop her. Don't drop her. Don't drop her. Right. Perfect. You nailed it. Right foot, left foot.
Interviewer: Chugging a beer after getting your diploma at the live. I did say nice. Yeah.
Interviewer: Touchdown dances, gifting coach, Rita cheeseburger, SNL. All of these are viral moments. I will say one of my absolute favorites. I think it was outstanding comedic timing by you was the white house podium. Oh God. That shit was hilarious. That was hilarious. It was so funny.
Interviewee: My fellow Americans. I was like in my head, like, do I say more?
Interviewer: No, you nailed that. It was the perfect amount. It was, you nailed it. You nailed it. Everyone thinks that I tapped President Biden on the shoulder and like flanked him. And that is not true. I did not flank the president just to get on the mic.
Interviewee: But you thought about it? No, he just, he just kind of opened the gate. It was just good. He opened the gate.
Interviewer: And you were like, let me step in. Okay. You're going to let me say something. There's an open podium. Let me step up to that. Nailed it.
Interviewer: Um, there are not a ton of viral Kylie moments. So, um, you don't have to answer the other side of this question. We actually, I gotta, I gotta think of what? Nope. Nope. We're not. We can't even, we can't even go there because it always ends up in the. Yep. Uh, last question from Natalie Rose, was patiently waiting to hear about Trav's best man speech. Do you, do you remember giving a best man speech at our wedding? Of course I do. It was a very, I mean, you nailed it.
Interviewee: I nailed it? I don't think. To be fair. Thank you for saying that. Because.
Interviewer: I don't think anyone had any doubt that you would nail it. Did you?
Interviewee: I did because I wrote it as I was like putting my suit on. You did a great job. You did a great job. I procrastinated like a Kelsey and just waited until like the day of.
Interviewer: I wrote my vows the night before. Brilliant. Thank you. Because when the feeling strikes you, you will. And there's that creative push. Yes. And you have to get this done. And ADHD, when the pressure's on and you procrastinated too long, suddenly your brain's like, I'm ready to work.
Interviewee: And it's just like, all right, you got something, go for it. It's not here sitting here being like, oh, should I do this? Should I do that? Should I do this? Should I do that? And now it's like an entire hour and nobody wants to sit through an hour long wedding speech.
Interviewer: No, you, you were the perfect amount of time. I didn't know how. You balanced the emotional and the funny.
Interviewer: Do you remember anything in particular from giving the speech? Um, I mean, other than talking about Jason and trying to make everyone laugh about that, just like letting you know that I just got like the coolest sister. Like that was, yeah, that was, that's all I remember. And how it was the, she's the, she's so sweet and nice and she's so kind and so polite. And then we go to the shore because we was Hawaii was one where we first met. Yes. And then we go to the shore and all of a sudden we're at ocean drive and I hear a motherfucker. Like I'm like, holy shit, where did this woman come from? This is why at the snap of a finger, Jason's like, huh? Who, me? Whatever you say. Yeah.
Interviewee: That was, that's good stuff. Oh no. I think I know what you're talking about. The, do you remember the little nook we were in and at OD, man, good times over there at the shore? Uh, shout out to the ocean drive. We love it there.
Interviewer: Um, all right. That's it for, ask me some things and our real one questions. Um, all right. Now, how'd I do? I mean, you're, you're 10 times better than me, Jason.
Interviewee: It is. You actually have a flow and you've looked at the rundown. Um, like you're actually, you're,
Interviewer: This is, Oh, wait, can we set the record straight? Is intern Brandon an intern? Of course he is. He's been the intern. Sorry, Brandon. I try. Uh, last thing for this special episode, Travis, I couldn't possibly let you go without, uh, let's call it a sisterly roast. Okay.
Interviewee: Oh God. Um, to be clear, I have been, I feel like one of the things that we bonded over early was your fashionable sense.
Interviewer: Oh God. And my lack thereof. Now, my initial reaction to these photos was laughter. Uh huh. You did a great job. Let's go. These, all these photos are from your GQ photo shoot, which was a blast. Shout out to everybody at GQ. Um, so I, I have questions.
Interviewee: Thank you for acknowledging this. That's a pretty big hat. What's going on?
Interviewer: Every outfit I put on. Yes. I would laugh. So you did too. Yes. Great. Perfect. This is hilarious. And they're going to put me in the swamp. Yes. They're actually coming for these style choices right now. If you can hear the sirens. Um, you should have seen the, uh, the indigenous Floridians that were staring at me with his hat on as they were trying to hand me.
Interviewee: Oh, the people on set. Oh yeah. Okay. Oh yeah. Well, we didn't just go straight into the swamp with like nobody.
Interviewer: Are you, are you actually holding?
Interviewee: Yeah, 100%. You're holding a crocodile there.
Interviewer: Yeah, it's not. Okay. Yeah, it's real. That's incredible. First of all, brave.
Interviewee: I think it was heavy. Was it? It's heavy. And what you don't realize is that I'm standing on lily pad roots.
Interviewer: I was just about to ask that question. Did they check under your feet?
Interviewee: 15 feet deep. And I'm just standing on the roots of the lily pads right there.
Interviewer: See, this is why I wanted to get into this. Cause on one hand you're looking at this and you're like, this is ridiculous. But this was like a legitimate feat that you accomplished here.
Interviewee: I was proud of myself. Did you get the bag dirty? No. Okay. Great. Oh my gosh. Sure. The gross would have, law would have killed me. Okay. More questions.
Interviewer: Um, what type of construction were you doing in the ocean?
Interviewee: I was doing turtle construction. I was doing water, moving. Yep. Getting, you know.
Interviewer: And is the horse under the water or, um, was it a seahorse? What's happening with the cowboy hat? The, the cowboy hat and the,
Interviewee: the construction vest. Yes. They were at the same, there was like one look. This is one look. Yeah. And then we were like, maybe do one without the other cause they were clashing with the water.
Interviewer: Oh, you had them on at the same time at one point. Yes. And then, yeah. Okay. So that actually, this is a great, this was actually great decision making. Yes. Cause that would have been too much.
Interviewee: Right? It was, it was way too much. It was too much. And then you split it. And this is clearly not too much. This is exactly what it's supposed to be. No, that's, that's enjoying the water after, after a hard day's work. Sure. On site. Refreshing dip. Great. What else do we have?
Interviewer: Yep. How sweaty. Okay. So this shoot was in South Florida. It was literally in the Everglades.
Interviewee: Yes. So fuzzy, here we go again with the fuzzy hat, smaller fuzzy hat. In June. In June. In June.
Interviewer: How hot were you in that peacoat?
Interviewee: I was sweating my tail off. Were you? It was, that was the most uncomfortable part is that I'm sitting here trying to make a serious face for the shot. Yes. Knowing how bogus I look.
Interviewer: Because you're a professional.
Interviewee: No, because no, like knowing how bogus I look and feel, even though I thought that was pretty cool. That shot, that's actually, that's pretty cool. You get the old car. But I, I was literally sweating bullets the entire time. Like down your face. Yes. You're trying to pretend like you're not.
Interviewee: Like it just wasn't happening. And that's why you. And it got to the point where you're like, like trying to like. Sting it a little. Yeah. And then I had like.
Interviewer: Jason would say that that's what your eyebrows are for.
Interviewee: Ooh, nah, I'm more of a, these are like a visor for me in the sun.
Interviewer: He says the same thing. Yeah. I can, I can block the sun out real fast with these. That's the best. Oh my God. Thank you, Ed Kelsey.
Interviewee: Well, I think I was willing to do fun, silly stuff like that. Um, and have fun with it. You know, Lobbro's the one that was designing me and like put me in all that fun stuff and was a part of like making sure that it looked right and look cool and came out great like that is that I just like trusted the process and everybody with it. I was just like, yeah, whatever you guys got, you didn't even pull out the, the cool one I did in, in the ocean, the other ocean one. Do we know that one? The one I will say there was pack on my feet.
Interviewer: Oh, I will say there was, there was a moment in going over the rundown where Emma was like, we're going to bring up the GQ shoot. And I was like, let's be selective. Yeah. Well,
Interviewee: So this was actually, I had, how many times did you eat shit? Believe it or not. I didn't.
Interviewer: That is, I'm trying to manage my reaction here. That is such a Kelsey brother, bullshit nonsense. That is, I'm mad. It was get up. And then I kind of like slowly fell down the
Interviewee: guy. So you don't know how those works. You're, you're, you're, are you controlling it? You're attached to a guy on a jet ski. Okay. And he's through the jet skis. Like that's what's giving you the engine. That's what's giving you the water going through. So that guy was perfect. Every time it looked like I was about to just like tail off, he would ease off the gas a little bit. And then that would kind of like ease me back down and I could get my bearings. Yeah. So, but yeah, no, that was, that was a blast. And my quads were burning. Next time I go on the other podcast,
Interviewer: You have every right to find the most ridiculous photos of me. Intern Brandon can find. So I'm
Interviewee: going to give you, I'm going to give you, no, we got to get Kai in there. We got to get her down.
Interviewer: Me and my Chuck Taylors. That's the best I got. And that's a wrap on our Uncle Trav Super Bowl special. Thank you, Trav. This was so much fun. Was it? Yes. Okay, good. I will say, this is one of the, one of the very few interviews that I've done that I haven't been super sweaty and nervous that I was going to fuck it up because I just figured like, we'll just be here, shoot the shit, fuck around with this rundown and make Emma sweat.
Interviewee: You also have like important people coming on here. They're actually doing like cool shit in life. So it's like, and you guys don't, I haven't had a job in a month. I don't, this is all he's got going on guys. Like the first time I have nothing. No, I'm kidding.
Interviewer: Well, thank you so much for taking the time. I, you just let me know when I get another chance to come on here. I'm going to go find something. Don't say that more Queen. I can hear you. Um, thank you so, so much. And, um, go Chiefs.
Interviewee: Oh, heard it here first. Yes. They've actually heard it multiple times, but I'm saying it in front of you so that you make sure you hear it.
Interviewer: Thank you. You know, I always say it out of respect. Go birds. Thank you. See, and that's on being family. Okay. I'll be back next Thursday with a brand new episode.
