Travis Kelce was hilariously ripped during he and older brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights live show on Thursday night in Ohio during a spelling bee, where participants were asked to guess words that Travis himself had misspelled on social media.
As part of “The Great Lombaby Games” spectacle, which pitted a track and field team against an academic team, a student-athlete from Cincinnati had to correctly spell squirrel to win that round for his team.
Stepping up was Jizzle James, son of former NFL running back Edgerrin James, who spelled the word correctly to give the athletic team the victory.
‘I just gave a squirrel a piece of bread and he smashed everything!!!! I didn’t know they ate bread like that!! Haha #crazy,” Kelce’s original tweet from 2011 read.
Another part of the competition before the live episode of the podcast was members of each team throwing Skyline Chili at each other.
James spelled the word squirrel correctly during the track team Thursday night
Kelce has admitted to using Twitter as a diary long before he became very famous in the NFL
He talked most about his now infamous tweet in which he was amazed at a squirrel eating bread
James chose basketball, unlike his father, who played college football for Miami before an 11-year NFL career.
The younger James was one of only two Bearcats to appear in every game for the Cincinnati basketball team last season.
James was also a four-star recruit in the Class of 2023, ranked as the No. 12 point guard nationally in his class, according to 247Sports composite.
After James spelled the word squirrel correctly, Jason Kelce jumped off the stage and gave him a hug.
James did not spell the word inhibition correctly on another attempt.
