Chiefs’ Travis Kelce reveals what he planned to say at microphone at White House

If you had to choose one player who would have been part of a viral video from the Chiefs’ trip to the White House, it’d have been tight end Travis Kelce, right?

And that’s exactly what happened as Kelce deked President Joe Biden and stepped to the microphone.

“So I’ve been waiting for this...” Kelce said before being pushed away by quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

This was a hilarious moment from the trip to the White House.

Kelce talked about that moment and his entire White House experience on the latest episode of his “New Heights” podcast.

“I’ve always admired, obviously, the President at the podium is iconic, right?” Kelce said. “How he usually addresses the nation, ‘To my fellow Americans.’ And I, that’s all I wanted to say, dude. That’s it. I shouldn’t have started off with ‘I’ve always wanted to do this.”

Eagles center Jason Kelce, the podcast co-host said: “If you would have started off with My Fellow Americans, that would have been such a showstopper. I don’t think they would have kicked you off. If somebody gets up to the podium and says, My Fellow Americans, it’s immediately like, what’s this dude about say?”

Travis said: “Pat knew right away I was in over my head. ... Shout-out to Pat for keeping me from embarrassing myself at that podium, man, in front of the whole world. But that was fun.

“Shout-out to President Biden. Handing him that jersey on that stage on the front lawn was a pretty cool moment I’ll remember forever.”

Jason Kelce was impressed with how Travis set up the move to the microphone.

“It was the oldest trick in the book,” he said. “Joe fell for it really quick. What’s over there? I mean come on. I love it.”
