“Shut the [Expletive] Up, Billy!” – Hilarious and Heartwarming Father’s Day Memories From the Kelce Family Podcast

In true New Heights fashion, the Kelce brothers—Travis and Jason—delivered another memorable, laugh-out-loud podcast episode just in time for Father’s Day. But instead of game recaps or Taylor Swift updates, the spotlight this time was on something far more relatable: irrational dad moments.

Prompted by a listener named Zach, who called in to share his own story of his father losing it over misplaced toothpaste, the brothers dove headfirst into tales of their own dad, Ed Kelce. What followed was an unfiltered, hilarious, and at times deeply sentimental conversation that showcased not just the humor of their upbringing, but also the tight bond the Kelce family shares.

“I Don’t Remember Dad Being Irrational—Just Rationally Mad”

Jason was quick to respond to Zach’s question, saying, “I don’t ever remember Dad being irrational. I’m pretty sure he was rationally mad.” The laughter that followed set the tone for a sequence of unforgettable stories that listeners could instantly relate to—because everyone has experienced that moment when a parent just loses it over something seemingly small.

Jason then brought up one of the more infamous Kelce family incidents: when Travis, in an apparent prank or mistake, poured hand lotion into a shampoo bottle.

“You put some hand lotion on your hand… you came down the steps and your hair looked like it was glued together,” Jason recounted through laughter. “You looked like Cameron Diaz from Something About Mary.”

Travis could only laugh, recalling the moment with a touch of horror. “I looked at you and was like, ‘Oh [expletive], what did I do?’ Then I was outta there.”

Jason joked that he was surprised Travis didn’t run through the screen door in his panic. It was one of those classic childhood moments—pure chaos and confusion—that quickly turned into a hilarious family memory.

Ed Kelce: The King of Rational Rage

As the conversation unfolded, it became clear that Ed Kelce, the father of two NFL stars, was not a man known for random outbursts. Instead, his anger was usually rooted in logic—just magnified by the stress of parenting two high-energy boys.

Jason said it best: “Rationally mad was a big one for Ed Kelce. There was usually a reason.”

Still, as they tried to dig for a truly irrational moment, Jason and Travis hit a nostalgic nerve—one involving pain, snow, and a broken rib.

The Sledding Incident: Ed Kelce Takes a Hit (Literally)

While reminiscing, the brothers recalled a winter day in North Ridgeville, Ohio, when they went sledding near their house with a neighborhood friend named Billy. As the sled gained speed and barreled toward a rock, Ed Kelce made a split-second decision: he jumped in front of the sled to protect his sons.

“He broke a couple of ribs trying to save us,” Jason said. “You were screaming in pain.”

What came next might be one of the greatest dad moments ever caught in a family memory. Later, while driving home and visibly wincing, Ed was asked by Billy if he was okay to drive.

Jason chimed in with a laugh: “And you turned to Billy and said, ‘Shut the [expletive] up, Billy!’”

The podcast erupted in laughter. Travis couldn’t believe it. Ed, chuckling, defended himself. “I was in pain, man! He asked me a dumb question.”

It was a moment equal parts irrational and justified. The pain, the stress, the sheer absurdity of the day—it all boiled down into one epic dad line that has since become Kelce family legend.

The Philosophy of Irrational Parenting

Toward the end of the storytime, Ed Kelce himself joined the conversation, offering a perspective that only a father of two grown sons could deliver.

“I get irrationally mad all the time,” he admitted. “The problem with children is—they’re irrational. So that causes you to be irrationally mad.”

Jason nodded in agreement. “There’s just a lot of irrational things happening when you’re dealing with little kids.”

It was a candid and touching acknowledgment that parenting isn’t perfect. Sometimes, even the most rational dads get pushed to their breaking point—by toothpaste, by hand lotion, or by sledding rocks.

More Than Just Laughs: Why These Stories Matter

On the surface, this podcast episode was packed with humor and nostalgia. But underneath the jokes and laughter, there was something more meaningful—a glimpse into the strength of the Kelce family’s bond.

Despite their fame, success, and busy lives, the Kelces stay grounded through stories like these. They remember the awkward hair incidents, the snow-day accidents, and yes, the irrational shouting matches. And they share them publicly, not to go viral (though they often do), but to connect with the audience on a personal level.

These aren’t just sports stars—they’re brothers, sons, and now fathers (in Jason’s case) who understand what it means to grow up in a loud, loving, occasionally irrational home.

Why Fans Can’t Get Enough

Fans have long adored New Heights for its honesty, humor, and behind-the-scenes look at the lives of NFL superstars. But this Father’s Day episode might be one of the most relatable yet. Social media lit up with fans sharing their own “irrational dad” moments, turning the comments section into a tribute thread for hilarious paternal overreactions.

One comment read: “Ed Kelce throwing himself in front of a sled like it’s the NFL combine deserves a medal.”

Another fan wrote: “Shoutout to every dad who’s ever screamed about toothpaste being in the wrong bathroom. You are not alone.”

Final Thoughts: Long Live Dad Rage

As Father’s Day approaches, this New Heights episode reminds us that the most memorable moments with our dads aren’t always the calm ones. Sometimes it’s the yelling, the ridiculous overreactions, and the heroic rib-breaking sled dives that stick with us the most.

Whether your dad flipped over toothpaste, got mad at shampoo pranks, or told a kid to “shut the [expletive] up” after breaking ribs—he probably did it out of love.

And as the Kelces proved, those irrational moments? They make for the best stories.
