'I blacked out': Travis Kelce dishes on 'SNL' appearance, two-sport Philly fun on podcast

This past weekend was certainly an eventful one for NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, who got to spend some time with each other outside of football.
On their weekly "New Heights" podcast, the Kelces discussed a whirlwind 48-hour span that included Travis (along with Taylor Swift) making an impromptu appearance on "Saturday Night Live" in New York, catching Jason's Philadelphia Eagles against the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon and then joining his brother on Monday night to watch the Philadelphia Phillies in the MLB playoffs.
Although they talked a little football too, the behind-the-scenes glimpses of celebrity life were the most intriguing parts of nearly 100 minutes' worth of brotherly banter.
Dealing with the paparazzi
While out on a date with Swift on Saturday evening in New York, photographers were always nearby trying to catch a glimpse of pop culture's hottest couple.

"They caught me with some weird hand-holding poses there," Travis admitted. "That was crazy."
But there was a side benefit to all the attention. Kelce said he and Swift were originally planning to just be in the audience that night for Saturday Night Live, but then were spontaneously invited to be part of the show's season premiere.
Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift appear on SNL
As it turned out, one of the show's sketches poked fun at the NFL's recent Swift-mania. So the writers added in an appearance at the end of it for Kelce.
"I don't even remember what I said. I blacked out," Travis recalled. "As soon as they cued to me, the place erupted, which was very overwhelming."
Swift also got to appear on camera, introducing her friend Ice Spice, who was that evening's musical guest.
"It was electric to be back in that place," said Kelce, who served as SNL guest host back in March. "I had such a frickin' blast."
Two sports, two states in two days
Following the SNL after-party, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end made his way to Met Life Stadium in New Jersey, where Jason made his team-record 145th consecutive start in an Eagles uniform on Sunday against the New York Jets.
With the Chiefs already having played on Thursday night, Travis was free to enjoy the game (in a green track suit) as a fan.
After the Eagles' 20-14 loss, the Kelce brothers took in some MLB playoff action the next day, as the Philadelphia Phillies hosted Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Jason admitted he wasn't really excited about the idea at first.
"After losing to the Jets, I was like 'Man do I really want to be seen at this place?' I wanna make sure that we're focused," he said before reconsidering. "I don't know how many more games I'm going to get to go to like this ... And I'm so happy I went."
The place erupted quickly after Kyle Schwarber hit a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning, followed by another from Bryce Harper two batters later.
"Red October in Philly is a different atmosphere," Jason said. "The fans are into it. This team has great energy right now."
And the crowd didn't forget about its football team either, despite Sunday's loss.
"They did show you on the Jumbotron and the place erupted!" Travis pointed out.
"They don't care about me," Jason responded. "They were just like, 'I'm gonna force this guy to chug his beer.'"
And in a fitting metaphor for the brothers' memorable time together, he gulped it down with gusto.
