Jason Kelce is about to be in the doghouse.

The recently retired Philadelphia Eagles player joked on his and his brother Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast Friday that while he didn’t “align” with a lot of Harrison Butker’s sexist and anti-LGBTQ+ commencement speech, it didn’t stop him from having some fun with his wife, Kylie Kelce.

“My wife, she was, I think, a little bit frustrated with some of the comments,” Jason, 36, shared. “Initially, I said, ‘You’re going to need to go back into the kitchen and make me a sandwich. I’m listening to the Game right now.'”

Travis, 34, grew silent before bursting out laughing at his brother, chiding him for his quip because they had been “doing so good” maturely discussing the Kansas City Chiefs kicker’s polarizing address.

“I hope she didn’t hear this,” Jason said.

More seriously, the former NFL center, who shares three daughters with Kylie, 32, said he was able to pick and choose what he took away from 28-year-old Butker’s comments.

“You put your differences aside for goal in common, and that’s the beauty of team sports,” Jason’s brother, Travis Kelce, added. Disney

“I can listen to somebody talk and take great value in it, like when he’s talking about the importance of family and the importance that a great mother can make,” Jason explained.

“When you’re listening to somebody talk, you take things in that you like. You listen to other things and you say, ‘I don’t f–king like that.'”

Travis and Jason agreed that the “beauty” of Football is that people are able to “find a way to work together” and “grow together.”

“You put your differences aside for goal in common, and that’s the beauty of team sports,” the Chiefs tight end added.

“I’m just going to go back to my beliefs through my family and how I was brought into this world, and my views are never going to be the same as the man next to me.”

Butker, whose mother is an accomplished physicist, addressed the women at Benedictine College’s graduation ceremony on May 11 and told them their “most important title” should be “homemaker.”

“Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world,” he said.

“I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to say her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.”
