What happened in this moment
Kelce walked through the incident in detail, from the build-up to the part he wishes he could take back. Travis, as co-host and younger brother, did what younger brothers do: he laughed, he interrupted, and he made sure the story landed. That back-and-forth is exactly why New Heights clips travel so well.
