Patrick Mahomes Calls Out Travis Kelce as Interview Resurfaces on the previous misunderstanding between the Kansas city chief tight end and the QB.. SEE MORE
Patrick Mahomes has called out Travis Kelce for having the same unusual ringtone since 2015. In a resurfaced video posted on X, formerly Twitter, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce is asked whether he was in Hawaii with his younger brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in 2015.
The older Kelce is then shown an interview his brother did that year. During the interview, Travis Kelce’s phone begins to ring. Instead of a typical ringtone, viewers can hear the Star Wars character R2-D2 screaming before Travis Kelce answers the phone—and on the other end of the line is Jason Kelce. The clip was initially shared to X by the New Heights podcast, which the two brothers host.
“Trav had the greatest ringtone of all time in 2015,” the caption said. Mahomes reshared the post, adding, “That man still has that ringtone lol.” At the time of writing, his post had been viewed 1.8 million times. Newsweek has contacted a spokesperson for Mahomes and Travis Kelce for comment via email. The New Heights X account responded to Mahomes’ post, writing, “Some things never change.”
During the phone call shown in the video, Travis Kelce tells his brother to “ask the people in the Hawaiian shirts where the scooters are” before saying to the camera: “Being a little brother, I hate when I gotta be the more mature one, you know what I mean? Unbelievable stuff. The guy’s been on the earth two years more than me.”
After watching the 2015 footage, Jason Kelce laughed and said, “I don’t think he’s even close to more mature.” As well as being teammates, Mahomes and Travis Kelce are friends, and they are used to ribbing each other. In an interview on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast in May, Mahomes said fatherhood has shifted his ability to keep pace with the lively Kelce brothers.
The Chiefs quarterback, who has two young children with his wife, Brittany Mahomes, said his partying days had taken a back seat. “No, I cannot [keep up with Travis Kelce]. I used to, I think, and then I had kids,” he said. The 28-year-old father highlighted the lifestyle adjustments necessary when balancing parenting and professional commitments, adding that Jason Kelce, also a father, faces similar choices. “Jason has kids, too, so he has to pick and choose. But when he chooses, he can go,” he said. Mahomes praised Travis Kelce, saying: “He puts on this persona. He’s like, I’m partying, drinking, whatever, but he’s really superintelligent.”
