Travis Kelce explains why he chugged a beer last week during commencement in Cincinnati as his brother Jason roast his skills

Jason Kelce had a bone to pick with Travis Kelce on Wednesday’s episode of New Heights. The NFL star siblings addressed the backlash Travis received for chugging a beer during a surprise commencement ceremony in their honor — and Jason had a hot take on the whole situation.

First, Travis and Jason shared their stories from last week’s epic New Heightslive show at the University of Cincinnati’s Fifth Third Arena, with the Kansas City Chiefs star offering a clarification on why he gulped down a beer while accepting his official diploma in a full cap and gown as the Beastie Boys’ 1986 hit, “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party),” fittingly played in the background.

“We ended the night in truly epic fashion,” Travis said, explaining that both he and Jason had already completed their respective degrees years ago. “So all of you thinking this was a graduation ceremony because we just finished our degrees and it was a very serious thing — we appreciate Cincinnati’s president and athletic director for doing this, but it was kinda just a fun way to close out the night.”

He went on, “Hopefully you guys can understand that me chugging the beer was because I had a beer in my hand and I had to receive the diploma, so I had to get the beer out of my hand in some way. Might as well finish it! It just happened to be full.”
