Jason Kelcethinks he knows which of the Kelce brothers could betray and finesse their way through a murder-mystery scenario at a Scottish castle — and it’s not him!

During the Wednesday, Sept. 25 episode ofNew Heights,the podcast he hosts with his brotherTravis Kelce, the twodiscussed what the outcome would beif they had the opportunity to appear on the hit Peacock competition show,The Traitors.

“Dude, you would f—— crush it onTraitors,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, told Jason, 36, who responded, “Traitors? I’m terrible,” before refering to a time he’d taken part in a version of the game while climbing.

“But I’m not savvy enough,” Jason said. “We did it one time, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. I was voted… right away they knew. They’re like, ‘Jason’s a traitor’ and I was like, ‘No I’m not!'”

Travis then raved about the show itself, telling his bother that it was “funny to see everyone have to defend themselves when the entire table is pointing at them saying they’re a traitor,” referring to the series’ round table — where the competitors try to call out and banish the “traitors” on the cast.

“And to see how someone reacts under pressure. I f—— love it. And sometimes people just f—— fold,” he said.

“Dude, I’m taking notes,” Jason added. “There’s some people that say some stuff where you’re like, ‘Wow, that’s a good one.'”

As Travis explained to his brother, he just wants to “play the game.”

“I do think I’d be better as a faithful,” the Kansas City Chiefs star said, refering to the non-traitorous members of the show’s cast.

Jason, in response, told him he’d be “good in either one of ‘em.”

“If you can be a lead actor in an FX original series,” Jason concluded referring to Travis’ appearance inGrotesquerie, before Travis laughed that “lead actor” was a “f—— stretch.”

Earlier this month, the seriestook home its first Emmyin the outstanding reality competition program category, as Cumming thanked Scotland, where the show is filmed, for being “such a beautiful costar.”
