Jason Kelce Declares Himself ‘Useless’ on Thanksgiving Day
UPDATE: As Thanksgiving approaches, NFL star Jason Kelce reveals he will be “totally useless” on the holiday, prioritizing family over cooking duties. In a candid moment on the latest New Heights podcast with his brother Travis Kelce, Jason shares his chaotic plan for the day, which involves managing his four daughters while letting his wife Kylie and her mother dominate the kitchen.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and Jason Kelce is already feeling the pressure of family festivities. He admits that with his four little girls—Wyatt (6), Elliotte (4), Bennett (2), and baby Finnley (7 months)—he will primarily be a distraction rather than a helper. “We have Kylie’s family, we have four kids. So I’m going to have to be wrestling these kids. I don’t know,” he laughed, highlighting the inevitable chaos.
Travis Kelce humorously suggested that Jason should “get on all fours” to keep up with the kids, setting the tone for a hectic Thanksgiving filled with laughter and energy. Jason confessed to being “a huge inconvenience” as he joked about his limited contributions while the women prepare the feast. “Kylie and her mom are making everything,” he stated, acknowledging his role as more of a spectator than an active participant.
In a unique twist to their holiday tradition, Jason will also spend part of the day frying an extra turkey with his father, Ed, just for fun. “For an hour of the day, I’m just completely useless and making an extra turkey that we don’t need,” he quipped, emphasizing the light-hearted nature of their family celebrations.
In addition to his Thanksgiving preparations, Jason is currently undergoing a 48-hour fast alongside NFL colleague Marcus Spears. This fasting period, he revealed, is his way of preparing for the upcoming feast after indulging during previous holidays. “I’m about thirty-six hours in. Just the smell of food,” he joked, clearly eager for the culinary delights ahead.
While discussing the health impacts of fasting, Kelce noted the importance of moderation. “If you go too long without food, it’s going to be bad for you. However, if you do it the right way, it is healthy,” he explained, balancing serious health discussions with his usual humor.
As families across the nation prepare for Thanksgiving, Jason Kelce’s light-hearted admission resonates with many who juggle family responsibilities during the holiday season. The blend of chaos, laughter, and tradition is what makes Thanksgiving special for families everywhere.
Stay tuned for more updates from the Kelce brothers as they navigate the holiday madness. Their latest podcast episode drops tomorrow, adding to the excitement!
