The Kelce brothers, Travis and Jason, recently hosted a live recording of their podcast, New Heights, at their alma mater, the University of Cincinnati. The event was full of fun and memorable moments, including a hilarious spelling bee competition.
During the “Travis Kelce Spelling Bee,” contestants were tasked with spelling various athletic and NFL terms, as well as some words that Travis Kelce famously misspelled in his old tweets that resurfaced during the NFL season. Cincinnati basketball guard Jizzle James emerged as the winner after correctly spelling the word “squirrel,” a nod to one of Travis Kelce’s old tweets from 2011 where he spelled the word as “squirle.”
Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce celebrated enthusiastically with James after his victory in the spelling bee. The competition, dubbed the “Lombaby Games,” featured two teams of Cincinnati students – Team Athletic and Team Academic. James’ correct spelling of “squirrel” ultimately led Team Athletic to win the spelling bee, adding to the excitement of the evening’s festivities.
