Travis and Jason Kelce’s discussion surrounding locker room interviews went off the rails after the latter steered the conversation to an NSFW topic.
On the latest episode of the ‘New Heights’ podcast, Travis and Jason delved into the ongoing controversy regarding the privacy of NFL players. Last week, the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) released a statement demanding that media interviews with athletes be held outside of the locker room.
According to the NFLPA Executive Committee, “Players feel that locker room interviews invade their privacy and are uncomfortable. This isn’t about limiting media access but about respecting players’ privacy and dignity.”
Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Ted Karras expressed a similar sentiment, arguing that players across the league have been filmed while changing by members of the media.
Addressing the ongoing debate with the NFLPA, NFL, and Pro Football Writers of America, Jason began: “This is something that guys have talked about for a long time. But for those of you that don’t know, after games or practices, there is a period of time when media members can go in and talk to players, interview them, ask what happened in the game, what’s going on this week.”
Before Jason could continue his thought, Travis chimed in and said, “And meat watch,” sending both brothers into a fit of laughter. “I don’t think that’s why they’re in there, but that’s what’s being alleged,” the former Philadelphia Eagle replied.

Speaking from experience, Jason insisted that he never paid much attention to journalists in the Eagles locker room – adding that while his manhood wasn’t the most “impressive” on the team, it successfully produced his daughters Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett.
“I’m not going to lie… it is a little weird that people are in there, but I never minded it,” Jason said. “Listen, my —- is low on the totem pole, I’m not impressing anybody, or doing anything. If you want to look at it, go for it, be my guest. It’s not going to impress you.
“It’s efficient, it gets the job done, especially making girls. But I’ve never cared, I’ve never thought about it and I’ve never noticed anybody staring at it.
“I don’t think this is a big deal, I never had an issue with it,” he continued. “It’s so easy to just … not show your —- to everybody. Like, put a towel on or go in the bathroom. They’re not in the showers like, ‘Hey, how’d you catch that ball?!’
“You can definitely not show your —- if you don’t want to guys. It’s not mandatory that your —– out while you’re talking to these people. ‘Excuse me, lower your pants please, I need to do my interview now.’ I don’t know what the problem is!”
Travis agreed with his brother, adding: “I’ve never had a problem with it. I think it’s actually encouraged by the NFL to be clothed. I don’t think they encourage you to be naked.”
