The world of celebrity podcasts witnessed a hilariously relatable marital moment this week, as Kylie Kelce's attempt to prank her husband, retired Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce, spectacularly backfired, leaving fans in stitches and the clip viral across social media.
The Prank That Didn't Land
During the November 20 episode of her popular podcast, "Not Gonna Lie," Kylie decided to test a trending TikTok prank on her unsuspecting husband. The premise is simple: call your partner and ask a seemingly innocent question designed to catch them off-guard. Kylie's question for Jason was, "Do you ever wish you were more athletic?"
Instead of the expected moment of self-doubt or humorous deflection, Jason's response was immediate and brimming with genuine confidence. "Oh gosh, not really. I feel like I'm pretty athletic," he stated without a hint of irony. As Kylie tried to keep the bit going, Jason quickly realized he was on-air. Rather than backtracking, he doubled down with an even more audacious answer.
"I don't know. I feel like sometimes I'm so athletic it's a burden to carry. I wish that the expectation was lower, you know what I mean?" he joked, completely derailing his wife's prank attempt.
Kylie's 'Loving' Frustration
Once the call ended, Kylie didn't hide her feelings from the audience. She revealed that what truly irritated her was the undeniable truth behind Jason's boastful claims. "He was just like, 'No, I'm good. I'm really f**ing athletic.' And he's not lying, that's the part that makes me mad," she confessed on the show.
She then humorously declared a new mission in their relationship, stating, "We've got to figure out how we're going to knock him down a few notches. And I mean that in a loving way. Because that's part of my job." Her frustration was not born of real anger, but from the fact that her prank was foiled by her husband's unshakeable and well-founded self-assurance.
More Than Just a Prank: A Peek into the Kelce Dynamic
This viral moment is not the first time Kylie has playfully dissected her husband's life on the podcast, endearing herself to fans with her deadpan honesty. Earlier in the same episode, she roasted a "Smells Like Jason Kelce" candle, jokingly telling fans they needed her permission to even smell it.
She also recently reacted to Jason's now-infamous Speedo moment from his summer charity event for the Eagles Autism Foundation, where the former center stripped down to a patriotic swimsuit. Kylie admitted she did not enjoy watching the reveal online, quipping, "I did not like that you just [were like], 'Hey world, here's my t-int.' It's mine."
Between these viral stunts, parenting their young children, and managing two highly successful podcasts, Jason and Kylie Kelce have cemented their status as one of football's most beloved and watched couples. It is Kylie's refreshing and honest commentary on their life together that makes clips like this recent prank fail explode in popularity instantly.
