Jason Kelce tries to get Kansas City superfan Chiefsaholic on his podcast amid BANK ROBBERY accusations, along with his brother Travis and vows “we’ll go anywhere for the good of journalism.”
Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce contacted alleged bank robber and Kansas City superfan Chiefsaholic on Twitter Friday.
Xaviar Badbudar, aka Chiefsaholic, known for wearing a wolf costume in games, is reportedly on the run after removing his ankle bracelet ahead of a court hearing scheduled for Monday, in connection with a bank robbery. in Oklahoma last year.
Chiefsaholic had not been seen or heard from since, until he apparently reappeared online after a PSA from Kelce, who suggested that he and his brother, Travis, would feature him on an episode of their New Heights podcast.
“Chiefsaholic I don’t know where you are but my brother and I would love to have you on @newheightsshow to tell your story,” Kelce wrote.
“We’ll go anywhere and we won’t reveal anything for the sake of journalism.”

An account purporting to be Badbudar replied from an account that, true to its word, no longer exists.
‘I’ll have my people communicate. Where should they contact you? I’ll have to delete this account by the end of days, so let me know: Chiefsaholic.
Kelce then responded; ‘Directly to the email account @newheightshow.’ She seemed to set off an interview that would grab the attention of the sports social media world.
Though it’s not clear if Kelce’s thinking has changed, given the negative comments appearing in the answers.
‘Not a bank robber?’ asked one user. To which Kelce replied: “Alleged* bank robber and die-hard Chiefs fan, yes.”
Others tweeted at Kelce in their dismay, prompting one follower to ask: ‘This isn’t going the way you thought, is it?’
Kelce later admitted that he was more amused by the potential interview than some online critics.
‘No, I thought that was funny, I guess this is a mistake. I will make my stance against bank robbery better known from now on.’
The Kelce brothers became the first brothers to play against each other in Super Bowl history in February.
