Shirtless Shock! Pin-Up Jason Exposes More Than Just Skin, Donna’s Bold Move to The Traitors, and Ed Kelce Drops Jaw-Dropping Fatherly ‘Ed-Vice’ No One Saw Coming! 

In Episode 144 of the beloved New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce, fans were treated to an emotional rollercoaster, celebrity-level surprises, and a dose of good old-fashioned family humor. Titled “Pin Up Jason, Donna Joins The Traitors and Fatherly ‘Ed-Vice’ with Ed Kelce,” this episode dove deep into three standout storylines that had the internet buzzing: Jason Kelce’s new modeling moment, Donna Kelce’s unexpected reality TV adventure, and some heartfelt (and hilarious) fatherly wisdom from Ed Kelce.

Let’s break down all the highlights and hidden gems from this memorable episode.

📸 Pin-Up Jason: From NFL Beast to Boudoir Beauty?

The show kicks off with one of the most unexpected turns in Jason Kelce’s post-retirement career—a pin-up style photo shoot that left fans equally shocked and delighted.

Jason, fresh off his emotional retirement from the NFL, continues to embrace his new chapter in life with a healthy dose of humor and confidence. In Episode 144, Travis can hardly contain his laughter as he introduces the viral image of Jason baring (almost) all for a cheeky calendar-style photo, shot as part of a recent fundraising campaign.

Jason explains the story behind the viral moment: “It was for a good cause, man. They wanted something bold, something memorable. I said, why not give the people what they don’t expect—Dad bod and all!”

And indeed, the internet did not expect it. The photo—featuring Jason draped in a velvet robe, holding a football and smirking like a vintage 1940s heartthrob—instantly lit up social media. Fans and fellow athletes alike praised Jason’s fearless sense of humor and body positivity.

But beneath the laughter, Jason shared a deeper message about self-acceptance and the power of leaning into your quirks: “People need to stop thinking that only one type of body is worth celebrating. This is me, man. I’m a lineman, a dad, a retired football player. This is real life.”

🎭 Donna Kelce Joins ‘The Traitors’: Plot Twist of the Year?

The next shocker from EP 144 came when Travis casually dropped the bombshell: Donna Kelce is joining Season 3 of NBC’s hit reality show The Traitors. That’s right—the NFL mom of the decade is heading to the Scottish Highlands to lie, scheme, and maybe even win big.

Jason, stunned, blurted out, “Wait, Mom’s gonna be on The Traitors?!”

Travis, laughing, replied, “Dude, she’s already in the castle, probably plotting someone’s demise right now.”

Fans of the show know that The Traitors features celebrities and reality TV stars competing in a murder-mystery-style game of deception. The idea of wholesome Donna Kelce—famous for her warm cookies and supportive signs—outwitting seasoned reality stars was both hilarious and oddly believable.

Jason admitted that while it seemed “totally out of character,” their mom actually has a secret competitive streak. “You don’t raise two NFL sons without knowing how to play the game. Mom’s sweet, but she doesn’t mess around.”

Social media lit up with reactions to the news, with memes imagining Donna whispering “I’m the Traitor” in candlelit confessionals and forming alliances with Bravo stars. While the outcome of the season remains a mystery, one thing is certain: Donna Kelce just made The Traitors must-watch television.

👨‍👦 Ed Kelce’s “Fatherly Ed-Vice”: Life, Legacy & Laughs

And finally, no Kelce family episode would be complete without a guest appearance from the man who started it all—Ed Kelce, the beloved, no-nonsense father of the NFL brothers.

Ed joins the show to offer what the Kelces lovingly refer to as “Fatherly Ed-Vice”—his unique blend of practical wisdom, tough love, and dry humor that fans have grown to adore.

Throughout the segment, Ed reflects on Jason’s retirement, sharing how proud he is of both his sons. “You raised two boys to be warriors, and now one’s hanging up the armor,” Ed says, clearly emotional. “But I’ve never been prouder. Not for the touchdowns or sacks—but for the men they’ve become.”

He also shares some advice that resonated deeply with listeners: “Don’t chase what makes you rich. Chase what makes you valuable. Money fades. Character doesn’t.”

But true to Kelce form, the heartfelt moments are balanced with some comic relief. When Travis asks Ed if he has any advice for dealing with retirement, Ed quips: “Yeah. Keep moving. You sit too long, and you’ll start squeaking like an old rocking chair.”

Jason, laughing, admits, “I’ve squeaked more in the last three weeks than I did in my whole NFL career.”

Their chemistry, their love for each other, and the casual yet profound moments of reflection give this segment its heart—and make it clear why New Heights has become more than just a podcast. It’s become a platform for vulnerability, growth, and connection.

👑 Final Thoughts: The Kelce Dynasty Evolves

Episode 144 of New Heights wasn’t just another recap of sports news or viral moments. It was a deeply personal, funny, and inspiring look at how the Kelce family continues to evolve—together and individually.

From Jason’s bold post-retirement adventures to Donna’s reality TV debut and Ed’s fatherly wisdom, this episode offered a refreshing reminder that the Kelces are more than just football royalty. They’re relatable, imperfect, and unafraid to laugh at themselves.

Jason’s modeling moment showed us that confidence comes in all shapes and ages. Donna’s leap into The Traitors revealed the competitive spark that burns beneath her loving exterior. And Ed’s “Ed-Vice” left listeners nodding, laughing, and maybe even tearing up.

At a time when celebrity families often seem curated and untouchable, the Kelces remind us of what it looks like to live with authenticity, humor, and heart.

Episode 144 was not just a podcast—it was a celebration of identity, family, and fearless reinvention.

So what’s next for the Kelce clan? If this episode is any indication, the sky’s the limit—and it’ll probably involve more plot twists, more laughs, and maybe another velvet robe.
