Speaker 1: This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Chris Harrison and Lauren Zema coming to you from the
Speaker 1: home office in Austin, Texas. It is good to be back.
Speaker 1: We spent the weekend LZ up at Parents Weekend at TCU.
Speaker 2: Yes, so much fun, except for all the sweating.
Speaker 1: Is so hot. Why do they have Parents Weekend in
Speaker 1: Texas in the middle of September It is one of
Speaker 1: the hottest months. And not to get down this rabbit hole,
Speaker 1: but it should be illegal to have eleven am college
Speaker 1: football games. We're not playing ayso soccer. What like when
Speaker 1: you're a parent and you have its kids, ayso soccer,
Speaker 1: it's you soccer. When you are playing ayso soccer. Your
Speaker 1: kids have the like ungodly seven thirty eight am, nine
Speaker 1: am games. That's fine your kids are Yet these children
Speaker 1: are in college. Stop with the eleven am games. It
Speaker 1: should be illegal. It's only about the TV money and
Speaker 1: it drives.
Speaker 2: Me for but they have to write what other choice
Speaker 2: do they have because they got to broadcast all these games.
Speaker 1: The schools have no say that's the problem. It's the
Speaker 1: it's the networks, and I like that we pretend whatsoever
Speaker 1: to care about children when it's one hundred and eight
Speaker 1: degrees outside. We have lights in the stadium. If you
Speaker 1: really cared about any of the kids, the game would
Speaker 1: be at night.
Speaker 2: But truly, what choice do they have because don't. Isn't
Speaker 2: it like the networks have to brives all these games
Speaker 2: and a lot of games to fit in.
Speaker 1: Well, they just have say and when you like you
Speaker 1: have no say, the week of or two weeks before
Speaker 1: they get to they dictate to you. Your game is
Speaker 1: at eleven am, your games at seven thirty at night.
Speaker 1: Your game is at two they tell you. Now again,
Speaker 1: if we cared it all about children, you would not
Speaker 1: play these games in the heat of the afternoon.
Speaker 2: I don't understand. What do you have a solution to this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not allowed.
Speaker 2: They don't the games need to be broadcast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they can still be broadcasts. You just have to
Speaker 1: pile them up at seven o'clock at night or it's
Speaker 1: all going to be on at the same it's not
Speaker 1: this hot across the country geographically space based thing.
Speaker 2: That's interesting. Okay, So you're saying go buy temperature, yes,
Speaker 2: and broadcast those games based on temperature.
Speaker 1: For human existency, I think there should be a temperature loophole.
Speaker 1: If it is over ninety degrees, that school is not
Speaker 1: allowed to play until nighttime.
Speaker 2: Actually that's a good idea. Okay, I mean, listen, you
Speaker 2: know I'm not jones in to get up at nine
Speaker 2: am for a football game. Here's my issue. I know
Speaker 2: I've ent about sports too much, but already football is
Speaker 2: at least four hours. Already, football is a black hole
Speaker 2: of time. When you say there's a minute left in
Speaker 2: the game, it's really twenty. Then you add on top
Speaker 2: of it the tailgating, that's like another two hours. Then
Speaker 2: when you put it early in the day, it's your
Speaker 2: entire day because by the afternoon you're out, you're dehydrated,
Speaker 2: You've probably had a couple drinks to get through the
Speaker 2: boringness that is sports, and so now it's like your
Speaker 2: whole day. If it's at night, at least I can
Speaker 2: get up, go work out, we can like have a
Speaker 2: brunch and then I can go to the football game. Thing.
Speaker 1: But despite the fact that the network screwed us over
Speaker 1: and TCU beat the pants off of SMU and the
Speaker 1: final Iron Skillet matchup, we had a great time. We
Speaker 1: went into town, went into Fort Worth. It is my
Speaker 1: son's last parents weekend. He's a senior, Taylor, our daughter sophomore,
Speaker 1: so we got a couple more. But we went to
Speaker 1: second rodeo down in the stockyards, which was awesome Fort.
Speaker 2: Worth, Texas. Yes, it's all so fun. I think what
Speaker 2: makes me so happy about it is that the kids
Speaker 2: want their parents to see the life they've built for themselves.
Speaker 2: They want us to meet their friends and see where
Speaker 2: they go out and see their dorm rooms. And I
Speaker 2: remember that feeling of wanting your parents to come seeking.
Speaker 1: You're so proud.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want them to be proud of you. You
Speaker 2: want them to be impressed and know that you've got
Speaker 2: good people in your life. And the fact that it's
Speaker 2: flown by so quickly for Josh, because we kept saying, gosh,
Speaker 2: how is it already parents weekend of his senior year.
Speaker 2: I vividly remember the day we moved him in, but
Speaker 2: also a you know, time flies when you're having fun.
Speaker 2: The fact that it has been over in a half
Speaker 2: a second means it went well, So it's a good thing.
Speaker 1: We had a great time with the kids, you know,
Speaker 1: met their friends and went out to great dinners and
Speaker 1: may have stopped by a couple of bars. So it
Speaker 1: was a great, very successful parents weekend.
Speaker 2: It was well, that's another thing about the heat though.
Speaker 2: I mean, I get work because some people bring siblings,
Speaker 2: bring grandparents on these weekends. You got these grandparents out
Speaker 2: there tilgating in the heat.
Speaker 1: Was everybody left.
Speaker 2: I literally saw a grandfather. We were at the tailgate
Speaker 2: and a grandfather asked assuming his grandson if there was water,
Speaker 2: and he said, the kid goes no, but I can
Speaker 2: get you a white claw. I'm like, oh god, we're
Speaker 2: giving this elderman a law and he's just dehydrated.
Speaker 1: Oh lord, Okay, we were at a tailgate at nine am.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing that absolutely sucks. Tailgating is not
Speaker 1: meant for breakfast tacos. But Parents' Weekend was great if
Speaker 1: you didn't get a chance. We did a what I
Speaker 1: thought was going to be actually more controversial. It did
Speaker 1: strike a nerve. Elsie and I did a podcast about
Speaker 1: taking your partner's last name once you get married. I
Speaker 1: really thought that people were going to come at us
Speaker 1: more than they did. There was a lot of agreement
Speaker 1: in what you said. People really appreciated you taking that
Speaker 1: stand and talking about this subject that apparently we're not
Speaker 1: talking about enough because a lot of people agree with
Speaker 1: you and that it's kind of a passe tradition. It's
Speaker 1: kind of something that should be left up to you,
Speaker 1: and it's not that big of a deal if you
Speaker 1: don't want to take your partner's name.
Speaker 2: Okay, good, I'm glad, because let's think about it. If
Speaker 2: trap this Kelsey Yes and Taylor Swift get married, would
Speaker 2: she Taylor.
Speaker 1: Lse No, No, I don't want to. I am a Swiftie.
Speaker 1: I'm not a Kelsey. That just doesn't it doesn't even work. Uh,
Speaker 1: and Elz just opened up the playbook we wanted to
Speaker 1: talk about. I mean, what shut down the NFL overshadowed
Speaker 1: the NFL shut down, the Internet broke the world. This
Speaker 1: weekend was Taylor Swift in the box at the Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs game with not just Travis Kelcey watching with
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey's mom. Yeah, sitting there watching the game.
Speaker 2: So what did that say to you? It says to me,
Speaker 2: I think we're opening up the playbook. I think we're
Speaker 2: just we're doing this podcast to talk about what is
Speaker 2: like the biggest headline of the week.
Speaker 1: It says to me, Taylor Swift is beyond the biggest
Speaker 1: star in the world right now. Yeah, and I know
Speaker 1: we joke about sports and all that, but the NFL
Speaker 1: is a fifty million pound gorilla. It is a behemoth
Speaker 1: in ratings, in social media, in every aspect it dominates.
Speaker 1: Nobody will be anywhere near a Sunday or a Monday
Speaker 1: or Thursday night because it's owned by the NFL.
Speaker 2: Right as much as we talk about the decline of
Speaker 2: broadcast TV, live football has survived.
Speaker 1: That decline, Taylor Swift just kicked it right square in
Speaker 1: the you know what and dominated it well.
Speaker 2: And what I loved is that they embraced it. The NFL.
Speaker 2: I think it was the NFL accounts changed to like
Speaker 2: the NFL Taylor's version, like she did with her music.
Speaker 2: They changed their profile to that. The Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 2: were having fun with it on their official accounts.
Speaker 1: Like Bill Belichick, the coach of the Patriots, who couldn't
Speaker 1: be more serious, like I mean, the most cerebral, serious,
Speaker 1: let's have no fun in our life kind of guy.
Speaker 1: He made a joke about Travis Kelcey's made some big
Speaker 1: catches in his life. This was easily the biggest catch.
Speaker 1: I mean it permeated everything.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I'm so glad that that was your takeaway
Speaker 2: and it makes me happy and I think speaks to again,
Speaker 2: like the moment that Taylor's having, in the moment that
Speaker 2: women are having, like to be able to say, look,
Speaker 2: this woman is the biggest superstar in the world right now.
Speaker 1: Everybody so. Patrick Mahomes is obviously the quarterback for the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: He's the biggest star in the NFL right now. They
Speaker 1: were all looking up into the box during the game,
Speaker 1: giggling like they were twelve year old boys and the
Speaker 1: cute girl was up there. I mean, it really took
Speaker 1: us back to high school, junior high days where we
Speaker 1: were crushing on the girl and your buddies are point
Speaker 1: and at her.
Speaker 2: A lot of people on social media were sort of saying,
Speaker 2: this is like the romance that I've been waiting to watch.
Speaker 2: Like a rom com, it does, and you write it
Speaker 2: has that Americana kind of like Miss Americana and the
Speaker 2: hopefully not heartbreak prints, but it's the f fotball player
Speaker 2: and the cheerleader. It's that kind of lure, and I
Speaker 2: think that's why people really liked it.
Speaker 1: I forget who said it. You know, it was on
Speaker 1: social media who had on their twenty twenty three Bingo
Speaker 1: card Taylor Swift jumping up and I'm going to keep
Speaker 1: his family friendly. But after a Kelsey touchdown was screaming LFG,
Speaker 1: whoever had that on their Bingo card, you win because
Speaker 1: nobody else had that. In twenty twenty three. Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: did score a touchdown, and this hole started a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Well, I'll beyond that. When he was
Speaker 1: talking about the friendship bracelet and kind of hitting and
Speaker 1: flirting with Taylor.
Speaker 2: He had tried, he'd made gone, he'd gone to see
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift, put his phone.
Speaker 1: Number on Ahead stadium.
Speaker 2: Yes, at Arrowhead, put his phone number on a friendship
Speaker 2: bracelet and tried to be able to get it to
Speaker 2: or he couldn't. But then that's and this sort of
Speaker 2: him sort of publicly pursuing her started. He shared that story,
Speaker 2: I think, on his podcast and then he said, look,
Speaker 2: you know, Taylor, I went to see you at Arrowhead,
Speaker 2: how about you come see me at Arrowhead. Obviously, something
Speaker 2: went down in the DMS or something, and she wound
Speaker 2: up in his suite at this.
Speaker 1: Game with mom.
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of people have pointed out Taylor meets
Speaker 2: the moms. There's a lot of photos of her with
Speaker 2: her ex Tom Hollinds mom.
Speaker 1: Interesting.
Speaker 2: She's written about, you know, hearing about childhood stories, presumably
Speaker 2: Jake Jillenhall's parents telling her about him playing te ball,
Speaker 2: Like she's a parents meeter.
Speaker 1: And by the way, they're the haters out there. Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift is an Eagles fan. She's a Philly girl. She
Speaker 1: talked about in her songs wearing a Philly T shirt.
Speaker 1: Stop stop with the hate. In this day and age,
Speaker 1: we can have our hometown teams, like for example, I
Speaker 1: love the Dallas Cowboys. I love the Texas Rangers. We
Speaker 1: get to know Justin Turner. We get to know certain people,
Speaker 1: and you follow these people in your fans. She's on
Speaker 1: a date for crying out loud. What do you expect
Speaker 1: her to do root for the Eagles who weren't even
Speaker 1: playing that day?
Speaker 2: Come on, isn't his brother on the Eagles? He is? Okay,
Speaker 2: so that's kind of funny.
Speaker 1: The other Kelsey is on the Eagles. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2: Kind of funny. Now I will admit I did not know. Look,
Speaker 2: there's also a funny aspect here of like now the
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift fans are trying to explain football to each other, yes,
Speaker 2: because like, look, I'm not a sports I don't understand football.
Speaker 2: But they're rallying behind her and saying, maybe we have
Speaker 2: to understand football now if she's going to date Travis.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize how big of a star he is.
Speaker 1: Well, he is a huge star as far as he's
Speaker 1: one of the best tight ends, which is his position
Speaker 1: in the league.
Speaker 2: I sort of when I started to know him was
Speaker 2: when it did go and kind of go everywhere, the
Speaker 2: story of him and his brother playing against each other. Ye,
Speaker 2: like I start to know about athletes when they transcend
Speaker 2: sports news and into sort of more celebrity or like
Speaker 2: lifestyle news. And I knew there was that cute story
Speaker 2: about him and his brother playing each other and the
Speaker 2: mom wearing the split jersey. So that was cute.
Speaker 1: And so Travis Kelsey is a big star, but not
Speaker 1: like this he was. You know, the fact that he
Speaker 1: plays for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs is
Speaker 1: everything to him to be in that orbit because Mahomes
Speaker 1: is the star. He's the biggest star in the NFL.
Speaker 1: But Kelsey is really on the rise right now. He
Speaker 1: has like I want to say, six or seven endorsement
Speaker 1: deals going right now. Did you see the impact that
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift had on his merch.
Speaker 2: It was like his jerseys were up four hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Four one hundred percent. Travis Kelcey merch went through the
Speaker 1: roof this week. Everybody is buying his stuff. And when
Speaker 1: I say everybody, it's Swifties. All the Kansas City fans
Speaker 1: already had their Mahomes or Kelsey jerseys. Those people are set.
Speaker 1: It's not them at all. It's one hundred percent Swifties
Speaker 1: that move.
Speaker 2: The power of the Swifties that.
Speaker 1: Move the needle four hundred percent.
Speaker 2: The power of Taylor.
Speaker 1: And Kelsey is everywhere right now. He's you know, he
Speaker 1: is kind of like Peyton Manning. He's kind of like Mahomes.
Speaker 1: He's in all these commercials. And what's funny is he's
Speaker 1: still not that recognizable.
Speaker 2: Well he is now He's getting there.
Speaker 1: You know, he walked out. They they got caught on
Speaker 1: video walking out together after the game. This isn't crazy,
Speaker 1: by the way, that they shut down a restaurant in
Speaker 1: Kansas City so they could have a private dinner with
Speaker 1: teammates and with Taylor Swift. The only other thing that
Speaker 1: we have to discuss the dinner for Taylor Swift, the
Speaker 1: chicken nugget ketchup and seemingly Ranch.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be the Halloween costume.
Speaker 1: Seemingly Ranch was.
Speaker 2: So so random. I mean, when Taylor goes somewhere, especially publicly,
Speaker 2: because she doesn't do many like official, you know public
Speaker 2: and this is official, this is on TV and everything.
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously she goes to awards shows when she's nominated,
Speaker 2: but everything she does is analyzed. So every facial expression
Speaker 2: she made in that suite, the fact that she was
Speaker 2: cleaning up her own trash in the suite, she threw
Speaker 2: her own stuff away, what she was eating, Every photo
Speaker 2: and video that comes out, people were analyzing. Now I
Speaker 2: wanted to ask you. I saw a lot of people
Speaker 2: posting this video and saying he did his signature move
Speaker 2: that he did the archer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he'd like an arrow towards her, towards her up
Speaker 1: to the suite.
Speaker 2: I couldn't tell from the video if it really was
Speaker 2: towards her. It was yeah, okay, cute, that's cute. That's cute.
Speaker 1: Here's my question to you. I think he's all in
Speaker 1: is this is this real? Are they really dating?
Speaker 2: That is a question. I was texting with some people
Speaker 2: about that, like, look, because people are saying, well, neither
Speaker 2: of them need the PR, so it's got to be real.
Speaker 2: I do think neither of them need the PR. But
Speaker 2: I think both of them seem smart about staying in
Speaker 2: the headlines. So I think that it's both. I think
Speaker 2: there's an element of realness, like obviously he was a fan,
Speaker 2: He's going to her concert. He you know, there's older
Speaker 2: video of him like singing her songs at clubs and stuff,
Speaker 2: and who wouldn't have a crush on Taylor Swift? And
Speaker 2: I think he was actively pursuing her, and so I
Speaker 2: think there's potential for it to be real. And also
Speaker 2: both of them known't that it's a smart move to
Speaker 2: lean in to what was kind of becoming a story.
Speaker 2: He was talking about her publicly, he's very desired, she
Speaker 2: was single right now, she's going to have fun with it.
Speaker 2: So I think that it's real. That it's very new,
Speaker 2: so it could or could not become something like if
Speaker 2: this is all we ever get from it. I think
Speaker 2: it was great for both of them and it's cute.
Speaker 1: They're both thirty three years old, same yes, and so.
Speaker 2: Well, and the fans are loving this because the you know,
Speaker 2: the kind of joke and the mentality is like, well,
Speaker 2: finally Taylor Swift is with a guy who's good looking,
Speaker 2: gainfully employed, in actively pursuing her like with Joe All
Speaker 2: and it was kind of like, well, what's his career? Really,
Speaker 2: he's not really on her level. And I think that
Speaker 2: the rumors were that he had an issue with that,
Speaker 2: that maybe there was like you know that that tour
Speaker 2: at the fabric of their relationship. And I agree with
Speaker 2: the fans. I like the Travis has his own thing
Speaker 2: going on well.
Speaker 1: And I like that. I think that Taylor Swift is
Speaker 1: so powerful, she is so famous. She needs somebody who
Speaker 1: is really separated from her world but incredibly successful what
Speaker 1: he does. And the best part is he's also incredibly
Speaker 1: successful at a part time job. I'm not saying the
Speaker 1: NFL isn't difficult, but in January or February, after the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, I'm sure the Chiefs will win again. He's
Speaker 1: done so he can spend a ton of time with her.
Speaker 1: Oh and she can travel with her. He can go
Speaker 1: see her. She can come to some of his games.
Speaker 1: You know, this is his busy time of year, September
Speaker 1: through February. He's busy. So this is a great match
Speaker 1: if it's real. I hope it is. I'm all in
Speaker 1: for it. But I think this is a perfect fit.
Speaker 1: An athlete who is great at what he does. She
Speaker 1: can't help him per se. She can't do anything for him,
Speaker 1: and vice versa, you know what I mean, Like their
Speaker 1: careers are so different. He can't help her career, she
Speaker 1: can't really help his. She can help his clout, but
Speaker 1: he's a football player.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: She can't help him catch touchdowns. She can't.
Speaker 2: He's well with Joe Alwhen he was in entertainment, it
Speaker 2: was a question of like right, you know, coattails And
Speaker 2: there are some people were saying, I feel like more
Speaker 2: of the sports fans is he going to get distracted?
Speaker 2: And I think, what do you think? He seems to
Speaker 2: me to be an established enough player to not like for.
Speaker 1: That to not be an issue, or he's a big
Speaker 1: enough of him.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's not a twenty three year old joining
Speaker 2: the NFL. He's been in the NFL probably ten years.
Speaker 1: He's a big enough of a personality that this is.
Speaker 1: Actually it's kind of like Gronk, who's very famous, so
Speaker 1: you might known.
Speaker 2: I have interviewed him before so nicely.
Speaker 1: It's almost like the bigger the circus, the better for
Speaker 1: Gronk and the better for Kelsey. Oh, like he thrives
Speaker 1: on this.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I like that.
Speaker 1: And you know the fact that all this was going
Speaker 1: on and he's going to touchdown, and you know, nothing
Speaker 1: is taking away from them winning a super Bowl. He's
Speaker 1: probably going to be a Hall of Famer. They're probably
Speaker 1: going to win another super Bowl. He's probably going to
Speaker 1: be in All Pro again. Like, nothing is slowing this
Speaker 1: guy down. Just like would this distract Taylor from selling
Speaker 1: out so Far Arena and putting on the show of
Speaker 1: her life tonight.
Speaker 2: No, And I think they're both pass that in their careers.
Speaker 2: And I have to applaud Taylor on I mean the
Speaker 2: Joe Allwin breakup. They were together like six years. They
Speaker 2: didn't break up that long ago. That news is so
Speaker 2: forgotten at this point. Yeah, she's so brilliant at that.
Speaker 2: I mean, she dated that guy from the nineteen seventy
Speaker 2: five Matt Healey for a brief moment and a lot
Speaker 2: of the tweets were like, Wow, glad she moved on
Speaker 2: from him to Travis, but like the Joe Allwin news
Speaker 2: is so a thing of the past. And that's brilliant
Speaker 2: of her to me, because you know, if she hadn't
Speaker 2: started like she's changed the news cycle, it could have
Speaker 2: been that at every concert people are analyzing everything she says.
Speaker 2: Is she over the breakup? Did she shed it here
Speaker 2: while singing that song because it's about Joe now Joe's over?
Speaker 2: You know, as much as there is I wanted to
Speaker 2: ask you something, as much as there is the support
Speaker 2: for Travis being handsome, And I saw one tweet that said,
Speaker 2: finally a guy. She can climb like a tree.
Speaker 1: He's a big dude.
Speaker 2: He's a big deer and successful. Of course, this is
Speaker 2: how quickly the news cycle goes. Already there's some question
Speaker 2: marks coming out about him. Apparently an ex girlfriend has
Speaker 2: come out and said he's a cheater. But they had
Speaker 2: a very brief relationship, and I don't judge people on
Speaker 2: their past, you know, I don't know when that relationship
Speaker 2: was whatever. And then there was this clip from the
Speaker 2: show Watch What Happens Live that came out that resurfaced
Speaker 2: where he gets asked about his dating life and one
Speaker 2: of the questions he gets asked, is is it a
Speaker 2: deal breaker if the girl doesn't sleep with you on
Speaker 2: the third date, like by the third date? And he said,
Speaker 2: it is a deal break. And I have to say that.
Speaker 2: I mean me, I was like, oh, Travis, I don't
Speaker 2: know about that. Is that a deal breaker for most guys? No,
Speaker 2: if you don't have sex the third date, that feels
Speaker 2: a little early to me?
Speaker 1: That is early. We old school, well, and it's incredibly
Speaker 1: early to put a d like a go no go date,
Speaker 1: Like if you have.
Speaker 2: Here's my thing, Say you get a cup of coffee,
Speaker 2: you have one dinner, then by your second dinner you
Speaker 2: already have to have sex. That feels quick to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that feels quick? Yeah?
Speaker 2: No, or we like old school prudes. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Look, if you have sex before your third date, that's
Speaker 1: up to you. But to put that limitation on a
Speaker 1: relationship of a go no go, my guess is if
Speaker 1: you go back. He's changing his tune.
Speaker 2: Okay, because Dave one's in the books. Well, I mean
Speaker 2: she's already met his mom. It could get serious fast.
Speaker 1: I talked to Tony Romo about this years ago because
Speaker 1: he dated Jessica Simpson and that for the quarterback for
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys and he was much younger at the time,
Speaker 1: was a distraction. They made it all about her and
Speaker 1: following them to Cabo, and he told me, he's like,
Speaker 1: I wasn't ready for that. And so I think the
Speaker 1: fact that Kelsey is thirty three, he's a veteran. They've
Speaker 1: had already a large amount of success there in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: His coach knows how to take it well. His quarterback
Speaker 1: Mahomes is going to protect him. So everything is in
Speaker 1: line for this to work. It was not because Tony
Speaker 1: Romo had not had that success yet. He was the
Speaker 1: quarterback that was supposed to take us to the Promised
Speaker 1: Land and it wasn't getting done. They were blaming Jessica
Speaker 1: Simpson and he's like, they just they were relentless on them.
Speaker 2: This is set up for success. Yes, we have two
Speaker 2: confident people in the prime of their careers. And I
Speaker 2: loved that he wore the you know, he wore a
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty nine suit like to the game.
Speaker 1: Out of respect for After the game, when they walked
Speaker 1: out together, he was in a nineteen eighty nine suit obviously.
Speaker 2: That No, it was before when he went in or
Speaker 2: both men.
Speaker 1: I think it was when they were walking out. That's
Speaker 1: the video I saw. Anyway, Well, did you hear did
Speaker 1: you see the uh everyone that thought they were sneaking
Speaker 1: Taylor out of there in a popcorn? Yes, people are
Speaker 1: losing their minds.
Speaker 2: I love it. Look, I saw something that said someone tweeted,
Speaker 2: this is the first guy Taylor Swift has dated who
Speaker 2: realizes he's dating Taylor Swift. Oh interesting, And I thought
Speaker 2: that was such a good take. Like he again, he's
Speaker 2: fangirled out. He is looking up at the stands, thinking, wow,
Speaker 2: she's right there. He is aware of what he's got here.
Speaker 2: So I think that means whatever he might have done
Speaker 2: in the past, he's realized now that this is an
Speaker 2: incredible woman he's got like he you know, I mean,
Speaker 2: she's the biggest star in the world. And he did
Speaker 2: everything right. Run it out of restaurant, I got her
Speaker 2: in his suite, drove her himself and his a little
Speaker 2: convertible after the game. Being a gentleman, it was just
Speaker 2: sort of nice to see a lovely first date.
Speaker 1: Shoot your shots. If this is ever a lesson of
Speaker 1: you miss one hundred percent of the shots you don't take.
Speaker 1: This is it right here? Take your shot. This guy
Speaker 1: took a swing at the biggest star in the world
Speaker 1: in Taylor Swift and for whatever it is right now,
Speaker 1: it's awesome. Where it goes from here, who knows, it's
Speaker 1: up to them. I am all for it. I love
Speaker 1: what it did to bring these worlds together. I really
Speaker 1: love how the Swifties have embraced this for Travis Kelcey
Speaker 1: and football. I love how the Chiefs fans and everybody
Speaker 1: in the NFL has embraced this for the Swifties. I
Speaker 1: love that everybody's come together. I kind of expected one
Speaker 1: day of love and then all of a sudden the
Speaker 1: haters were going to take over. They have not. The
Speaker 1: love has persisted. The love has prevailed, and I love it.
Speaker 2: Do you think that all of the sports fans are
Speaker 2: supporting it. I like the Swifties are.
Speaker 1: The most part.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know the Chiefs fans and everybody that I have
Speaker 1: seen on all the NFL shows. You know, all the
Speaker 1: pundits on all these talk shows that on ESPN and
Speaker 1: Fox and all that Colin Cowherd and all these people.
Speaker 1: I watch. I expected them to be kind of crappy
Speaker 1: this week, just you know, and they're not. It's it's
Speaker 1: it's cool to be the guy you know that kind
Speaker 1: of bags on this and rips on Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2: They're not okay good, they're supporting this good because again,
Speaker 2: why wouldn't you big start in the world. An incredible talent,
Speaker 2: and I support it too. I love it. I And
Speaker 2: by the way, like I said, if it's only this
Speaker 2: date and it goes nowhere, this was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: If it turns into something great because as he's swifty,
Speaker 2: a longtime swifty. I have thought this about Taylor for years.
Speaker 2: She needed to date someone in her own league, but
Speaker 2: in a different industry.
Speaker 1: Someone in her own league in a different league.
Speaker 2: Yeah sports truly, though I kind of thought she might
Speaker 2: go someone like in tech or someone like I don't know,
Speaker 2: like when Scarlett Johansson wound up with what's his name
Speaker 2: from SNL. It's like that was such a different world. Yes, Like,
Speaker 2: I just thought she needed someone who was confident on
Speaker 2: his own, confident on his own in his own industry,
Speaker 2: and like already successful on his own.
Speaker 1: But what I love is no ripping on the nerds
Speaker 1: in the tech industry. What I love is there's not
Speaker 1: a place, a red carpet, a concert that Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: will feel out of place. He's so big, and he's
Speaker 1: so bigger than life that he could walk into a
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift concert and be mobbed. And it's okay. He's
Speaker 1: not going to be swallowed up by the light that
Speaker 1: is Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2: Right, And what's good about this is they're both entertainers,
Speaker 2: they're both performers. They relate on that, but in very
Speaker 2: different ways.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Wow, well we love this love Okay, I mean I'm
Speaker 2: already saying love. They might not have even had the
Speaker 2: third day yet.
Speaker 1: And to bring this full circle, Taylor Swift will never
Speaker 1: change her name to Taylor Kelsey. No, she will not
Speaker 1: a Swifties.
Speaker 2: She will always be How about Travis Swift. That doesn't
Speaker 2: sound bad at all. T Swift, T Swift, T Swift
Speaker 2: thinking of the same.
Speaker 1: Same monogram makes it very easy. So we are all
Speaker 1: here for it. Obviously, we will stay on top of
Speaker 1: this one. It'll be interesting to see the as the
Speaker 1: weeks go on, if she pops up at another game,
Speaker 1: or if they pop up and continue to date. But regardless.
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift broke the Internet, broke the NFL,
Speaker 1: broke the world, but did not break our hearts. Thanks
