Jason Kelce denied being drunk after wildly dancing and chucking beers into the crowd before the Philadelphia Eagles game on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.”
“I could tell, by the way, [when] you were talking in the third quarter in the booth that you had been on an up-and-down roller coaster of being in and out of being drunk since about noon,” Travis Kelce told his brother on their “New Heights” podcast Wednesday, two days after the retired athlete attended his former team’s home game.
Jason, 36, immediately cut Travis, 34, off, saying he had “zero beers” before laughing off throwing cans at attendees during the pregame celebration.
The former Eagles center said he probably tossed about 100 beers at fans but “didn’t drink one.”
“Do you know how hard that was?” he asked, adding, “I’m a professional, Travis. I don’t mess around.”
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end roasted his big brother for throwing “full beers” at people, saying it was “dangerous” and “might as well be assault.”
However, Jason defended himself, saying he was “making eye contact” with attendees to make sure they would catch the beverages and used koozies to soften the cans.
Travis laughed, calling his sibling a “f–king idiot” before talking about Jason’s “new” dance moves that went viral on social media earlier this week.
“It wasn’t my best running man,” Jason admitted as the “Catching Kelce” alum began cracking up.
“What happened is we were supposed to be on that stage to start countdown, and I walked over too soon,” Jason explained.
“I had to kill 30 minutes before the show started, and I’m just up there with these DJs, just standing there. I’m like, ‘I gotta do something.”
Jason said he did not know what he was doing and was humbled when he saw how the internet reacted.
“Do you know how devastating it is to open X and just see a bunch of people quoting tweets of you dancing and putting clown emojis above you?” he asked.
But Travis, between giggles, told him he was “so proud.”
“Everyone thinks I’m the dancer. Dude, you are the f–king most electric dancer I’ve ever met in my life,” he said. “You can put a smile on anybody’s face by dancing. It is so good. And when you get in that mode, when you go full-send, oh my gosh, thank you for that. … I’ll have that forever. I’ll have that in my back pocket for a f–king cloudy day.”
