The brothers recalled the childhood incident during the most recent episode of their podcast, ‘New Heights’
Travis and Jason Kelce’s dad, Ed, may be a Swiftie, but he’s not a fan of Eminem!
During the most recent episode of their podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, the football brothers revealed a childhood incident that saw their dad dispose of their newly acquired Eminem CD.
Recalling a football game in which the rapper’s track “Lose Yourself” was played on the big screen, Jason, 36, said to his brother, “It brings you back to the first CD you ever owned.”
Travis, 34, replied with a laugh, “The Eminem Show, baby.”

“You know what happened to that CD though?” Jason continued. “Dad got into the car after you had bought that CD and he took it out and threw it out the window! I can’t believe you don’t remember this!”
As both brothers laugh at the throwback, Jason added, “It was one of the funniest things I ever saw happen!”

Jason’s trip down memory lane comes as the football star faces mounting speculation that he’s set to retire from the game.
The player — who has openly discussed the possibility of stepping down after this season — was seen looking tearful following his team’s 32-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.
The center reportedly told teammates after the game that he plans to retire, according to ESPN. The NFL also reported the news Monday morning.
Jason did not speak with members of the media following the game, telling them: “No guys, not today.”
The NFL shared footage of an emotional-looking Jason embracing his wife Kylie and giving a handshake to his father Ed, who were both in attendance at the game in Tampa Bay.

A question mark has hung over Jason since he tearfully discussed the possibility of stepping away from the game, revealing his passion for the sport was “tearing” his body apart.
“It’s getting harder and harder to play,” Jason said in one scene from his Kelce documentary which was released last September on Prime Video.
“There have been little things that are not big things yet but are going to turn into big things the longer I play,” he added.
