“Those Wings Are No F*ing Joke” — Travis & Jason Kelce Reveal Spiciest Moments and College Hot Sauce Chaos Ahead of Hot Ones Dream Episode

NFL brothers Travis and Jason Kelce are known for their football dominance, podcast banter, and headline-making charisma—but fans got a fiery behind-the-scenes scoop when they opened up about their true spice tolerance on their podcast New Heights.

With rumors swirling about a potential Kelce brothers appearance on the viral YouTube interview show Hot Ones, the duo spilled the tea (or rather, the hot sauce) about their past experiences with extreme heat—including a college prank that involved ruining leftovers with weapons-grade hot sauce and a legendary sauce called Mad Dog 357.

Spoiler alert: it ended in chaos, tears, and some traumatized chicken wings.

🔥 A Hot Ones Crossover Fans Would Devour

It all started when a fan asked: Would you ever go on Hot Ones? Jason didn’t hesitate. “Of course. I love chicken wings,” he said. Travis chimed in, “It’s an awesome show. I’d 100% try it out. But let’s be real—those wings are no f*ing joke.**”

He’s not wrong.

Hot Ones, the brainchild of host Sean Evans, has become a cultural staple by challenging celebrities to answer tough questions while consuming a progressively spicier lineup of hot sauces. By the end, even the toughest guests are sweating, crying, and sometimes hallucinating through The Last Dab.

Travis admitted the hardest part isn’t just the spice. “You gotta be good at eating hot wings and having a conversation. That’s the real challenge. Talking while your mouth is just leaking.”

Jason’s warning? “After a few sauces, they’re no longer about taste. They’re about pain.”

🌶️ College Pranks, Mad Dog Mayhem & Leftovers Sabotage

Before imagining the Kelce Bros sweating it out on Hot Ones, you need to know where their hot sauce story really began—and it’s pure chaos.

Rewinding to college days, Travis shared a spicy trauma that still lives rent-free in his memory. “The first time I got introduced to a world record hot sauce was because of this guy,” he said, pointing to Jason.

Jason had ordered a bottle of Mad Dog 357 Plutonium—one of the hottest sauces on the planet—specifically to sabotage everyone’s leftovers in the fridge. No warnings. No mercy.

“I think I was eating some wings I saved the night before,” Travis said. “And the first two bites… I was like, ‘GOD DAMN IT—these are on fire.’”

Jason, meanwhile, sat across the room laughing like a villain. “He’s giggling like a [expletive]—just proud of himself,” Travis recalled.

The prank? Evil genius level. The sauce? Devastating.

“I think it was like 3 million Scoville units,” Jason added. “You’d take a tiny toothpick, dip it, and it would ruin your entire day.”

And yes—people puked.

🍗 The B-Kens Dinners and the Unwritten Hot Sauce Rule

The brothers then reminisced about legendary fried chicken dinners hosted by a Cincinnati family known as the B-Kens, whose father ran a fried chicken chain. “Every time it was your first time eating there, you had to try the hot sauce,” Jason said.

The initiation? Dip a toothpick into the nuclear-grade sauce, lick it, and then survive the next 20 minutes of your life.

“They used the same Mad Dog stuff,” Jason said. “That was the birth of my love/hate relationship with spice.”

Sadly, they revealed that the B-Kens’ father recently passed away, taking a moment to pay tribute. “Legend,” Travis said. “Absolute legend.”

🥛 Milk or No Milk: The Spice Tolerance Debate

One of the funniest parts of the episode came when the brothers debated the true mark of hot sauce bravery: milk vs. no milk.

“I’m not gonna lie,” Jason said. “I will not be afraid to drink milk. I’m in.”

Travis teased him: “You’re a milk guy? You [expletive] pansy.”

Jason didn’t flinch. “I’m not trying to prove toughness. If it’s hot as [expletive], I’m reaching for the milk—and maybe some ice cream too.”

But Travis? He took it personal.

“When I did Hot Ones,” he revealed (yes—Travis has technically done the show before), “I didn’t touch the milk or ice cream or anything. Eyes watering, could barely talk, but I handled it.”

Sean Evans, the show’s host, apparently got everything he could out of Travis during the taping—but it came at a cost. “I was in a BAD place,” Travis admitted. “But yeah, let’s do it again.”

👀 Could a Kelce Brothers Hot Ones Episode Happen?

Fans are already begging for it, and after this podcast episode, it seems like a real possibility. The dynamic of Jason trying to survive with a glass of milk in hand, while Travis stoically pushes through the burn, would be TV gold. Add in Sean Evans’ famously sharp questions—and maybe a question about Taylor Swift—and you’ve got viral perfection.

“We’re built for it,” Jason said confidently. “Well… maybe halfway through. After that, who knows?”

🌶️ How Much Heat Can the Kelces Handle?

So, what’s their spice ceiling?

Jason said he enjoys “reasonable spice,” and is a hot sauce fan—but not the kinds “designed to ruin your life.”

Travis, while a little more adventurous, agreed: “If it’s just heat with no flavor, I’m out. Give me something I actually want to go back for.”

That being said, Mad Dog 357 left its mark—literally and emotionally.

🧢 Final Thoughts: Spicy Wings, Sibling Pranks & NFL Brotherhood

From pranking each other in college dorms to competing for podcast domination, the Kelce brothers have come a long way. But through it all, their stories remain rooted in what fans love most: authentic chaos, unfiltered brotherhood, and hilarious honesty.

Whether or not a Hot Ones episode is officially in the works, the idea of Jason and Travis melting down over The Last Dab while trading barbs about fridge sabotage and chicken wing trauma is exactly the kind of content the internet lives for.

One thing’s for sure—those wings are no f*ing joke.** And neither are the Kelce brothers.
