Jason Kelce defended Travis’ diploma beer chug during fake New Heights Live graduation ceremony
Jason Kelce explained his brother's beer chug during New Heights Live.
Jason Kelce took to Twitter to defend his brother Travis and give an explanation for the finale of the recent New Heights Live podcast.
New Heights Live was quite the success for the Kelce brothers, between a packed house and Travis dancing to Taylor Swift during the event. However, Travis did catch some flack from folks due to a miscommunication about the end of their event. At the end of the live show, the pair were given diplomas from the school president of University of Cincinnati — the Kelce’s alma matter — and got all dressed up in graduation gear.
Travis then chugged a beer on stage, to the amusement of everyone in the arena. However, the clip has been taken out of context on social media, making it look like an official graduation ceremony when it wasn’t. In fact, Jason took to Twitter to set the record straight, that the bit was put on to raise money for the university’s NIL alongside being a bit of an inside joke for the brothers.
I know it looks like a graduation from the video, but this was actually at the end of a New Heights Live podcast that we put on to raise money for the University’s NIL. The university did this to poke fun at my brother and I for never really picking up our diplomas. https://t.co/enl4C0a0bE
