Travis Kelce reveals the food that left him with a terrible bathroom issue
Travis Kelce spared no detail when telling Shaquille O'Neal just how badly his experience of the 'One Chip Challenege' in 2018 left him.
The Kelce brothers welcomed the four-time NBA legend to their New Heights podcast this week for a lengthy chat on a range of topics, from Taylor Swift to the Super Bowl.
And another surprising topic that surfaced was Travis and Shaq's respective attempts to tackle the spiciest foods they can possibly find.
Kelce asked O'Neal how 'the One Chip Challenge' compared to eating 'Da Bomb' on Hot Ones, where guests are interviewed over spicy wings.
And while guests often go viral when they appear on that show, they were both in agreement that the 'One Chip Challenge' was the hardest. Guests are required to eat a single Carolina Reaper 'Paqui' chip and wait for as long as possible before drinking anything.
'That f***ing, that was the craziest experience I have ever been through,' Kelce, who did the challenge in 2018, said.
'That was the worst experience ever. That ruined me for three days straight. I was s****ing out fire. It was ridiculous.'
'I did too,' O'Neal said, reflecting on his attempt at the challenge live on TNT. 'I drank water (before eating the chip) and the water activated it. My throat started closing.'
Kelce even wore a headband for the One Chip Challenge to soak up the sweat and was immediately in discomfort when he ate the chip.
'I've always wanted to breathe fire like a Pokemon,' he joked. 'Burning is an understatement.
'Frankly, I had no f***ing clue what I was getting myself into. Everything is shaking.'
Kelce, who was pictured out to dinner with Swift on Wednesday night in Palm Springs, is slowly starting to ramp up his preparations for the 2025 NFL season.
He was at the Chiefs' facility for voluntary OTAs last week as he builds up to try and avenge February's emphatic Super Bowl loss to Philadelphia Eagles.
The Chiefs begin the upcoming season against the Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo, Brazil on September 5.
Kelce joked on a recent New Heights show that he didn't want to play in Brazil, telling older brother Jason: 'There's just something about getting close to the equator, I don't want to put on football uniform. I've been in Jacksonville in September, that's f***ing miserable.
''Sao Paulo, is that by the water? I'd rather it be dry than humid, I'm a sweaty guy. If it is humid, I am going to be miserable. But I am going to find a way to get a win.
'I am going to be sweating so bad. I am going to have to ask the equipment guys for a couple jerseys, maybe three pairs of pants. Maybe four cleats, I might just go through a pair.'

Music Review: On Addison Rae's 'Addison,' a new pop powerhouse is born
The pop album of the summer is here. Addison Rae's debut, 'Addison,' is full, stuffed with bejeweled, hypnotic pop songs for the post-'BRAT' crowd. Hedonism has a new hero. For those who've watched her rise, it's almost impossible to believe. It wasn't so long ago – almost exactly a year into the COVID-19 pandemic – that a young Rae went on 'The Tonight Show' and taught its host Jimmy Fallon a few stiff, meme-able TikTok dance moves, then what made up the bulk of her career. It was met with almost immediate backlash, as is common for young women with viral posts. But she wielded it like a weapon: Social media celebrity begat acting roles for Rae, then a coveted collaboration with Charli XCX in the form of a 'Von Dutch' remix, and now, at age 24, her final form: becoming the hyper-ambitious, hyper-femme pop star for the current moment. As a full body of work, 'Addison' taps into the genre-agnostic zeitgeist, where pop music appears edgy and elastic. The songs speak for themselves, from the pitch-shifted trip-hop 'Headphones On' and the snapped percussion, minor chords, NSFW lyrics and vanishing synths of 'High Fashion' to the Madonna'Ray of Light'-cosplay 'Aquamarine' atop a house beat and its chantable, spoken chorus: 'The world is my oyster / Baby, come touch the pearl / The world is my oyster / And I'm the only girl.' Humor and girlhood are intertwined with less of a Sabrina Carpenter-wink and more of cheery irony. ' Money loves me,' she yells on 'Money Is Everything.' 'I'm the richest girl in the world!' Then, a giggle and a kiss. ('Girl,' to this writer's count, is uttered 20 times across the album. Across its 12 tracks, she is both the divine feminine and the girl next door. Often, they are one in the same.) Rae isn't reinventing the wheel here, but she is carefully pulling from her inspirations. Her story recalls Britney Spears: The pair are from Louisiana, became famous young, and recorded their unique, sensual, layered pop music in Stockholm, Sweden, in and around super producer Max Martin. There's the earned Lana Del Rey parity, like in the 'Born to Die'-channeling 'Diet Pepsi,' echoes of Charli in the bouncy opener ' New York,' and tinges of ethereal Enya production on the dreamy 'Summer Forever.' For 'Addison,' Rae partnered with two primary collaborators – Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd, who goes simply by Elvira – an unusually small team for a major label pop release. But that intimacy is one of the album's superpowers, a sensibility that teeters between close mic recordings and big late-night anthems. In the latter case, look no further than 'Fame Is a Gun,' an easy song-of-the-summer contender, a sunglasses-in-the-club banger with synthetic vocal textures and an unignorable chorus. In the lead up to the release of 'Addison,' Rae has positioned her early TikTok fame as a means to an end. There aren't many avenues to Hollywood from Lafayette, Louisiana, and social media, for some, is a democratizing tool. Rae used her dance training to build a name for herself on the platform, something that has no doubt laid an ideal foundation for pop superstardom – just consider how Justin Bieber did something similar with covers on YouTube not so many years ago. It feels full circle, then, that Rae's stellar debut album aims to do what her videos on TikTok attempted to do, what she's always wanted to do — dance, and get others to dance, too.

Sean O'Malley to have surprise cornerman in UFC 316 rematch with Merab Dvalishvili
In September, Dvalishvili comprehensively outwrestled the striking specialist to win the belt, before retaining the gold with a comeback decision win against Umar Nurmagomedov in January. O'Malley, meanwhile, has not fought since his loss to the Georgian and hopes he will be coming in fresh for this rematch in New Jersey, where his father will be part of his corner team. 'It's a cool gift to be able to give your dad,' said the American, 30, at the UFC 316 pre-fight press conference on Thursday (5 June). 'His 60th birthday, he's gonna be sitting there cageside, watching me fight. There's nothing better I could give to him. I'm excited for him to be in there.' Dvalishvili, 34, initially gave credit to O'Malley for being humble ahead of their second showdown, although the champion changed his tune as the press conference progressed. 'This is a new fight, this is a new challenge,' said Dvalishvili, who has won 12 straight fights, dating back to 2018. 'Like Sean said, he will be 70 per cent better. I am expecting him to be a better version of himself than last time. I know now he's humbled, but he wants to knock me out, and I'm here to not let him do that. 'I'm gonna break him. After, we can be friends, no problem, but 7 June, we are enemies again. I'm gonna show a better fight and break him. 'This is the fight business, and of course I'm ready for everything. He's a tough fighter, he has 10 wins in the UFC, and wherever it goes, I'm gonna make sure I'm gonna win. I'm not gonna give my belt to him; this is mine, and I'm gonna keep it. We can be friends after. Let's go.' However, after O'Malley said, 'Come Sunday, no one's gonna give a f*** about Merab. You know, I truly believe I'm gonna knock Merab out,' the Georgian fired back: 'Keep talking, and you're gonna get more humbled. 'I'm making people humble, you will see 7 June. He was playing all this time like a humble guy, but okay: I'll show you again, one more time. Keep talking.' Earlier in the press conference, O'Malley said: 'This is a completely different fight, but [I'm] undefeated in rematches, we're gonna keep it that way. Merab's mastered his skillset, no excuses, he won the first fight. We're fighting again, that's it.' O'Malley's only career defeats have come against Dvalishvili in September and Marlon Vera in 2020. Sugar Sean avenged his stoppage defeat by Vera with a clinic in March 2024 to retain the 135lb title on points. That result was O'Malley's only successful title defence, after he won the belt with a knockout of Aljamain Sterling in 2023.

Jiujitsu student gets $56m payout after he's paralyzed from neck down by instructor who 'crushed him'
A beginner jiujitsu student has been awarded $56million after an in-class accident he attended left him paralyzed from the neck down. In 2018, white-belt Jack Greener, 30, was sparring with second-degree black-belt teacher Francisco Iturralde when his cervical vertebrae was crushed during a terrifying move. Greener sued the Del Mar Jiu-Jitsu Club in California, owned by Michael Phelps, on the grounds that the premises was responsible for the fractured neck and spinal cord injury he received that he claimed forever altered his life. Greener underwent surgery soon after the accident and, over the course of the next seven years, recovered. He's now a mountain climber and motivational speaker. In 2023, an appellate district court awarded Greener $46million in damages, which the jiu-jitsu studio appealed at the California Supreme Court - but it declined to overturn the judgement. Now, with interest, the studio's been ordered to pay a total of $56million. Greener previously attended classes at a different school but stopped because it was too far from his home, according to the court judgement. The student then started classes at the Del Mar Jiu-Jitsu Club in early November 2018, and he sparred with his instructor at the end of a class later than month. Greener was in the 'turtle position' with his elbows and knees on the floor when, he claimed, Iturralde 'lost control and injured' him. Iturralde testified that Greener seemed highly experienced for a white belt and had expressed a desire to be competitive. He admitted that the move was 'dangerous' and he wouldn't execute it if he 'could not safely' do so. Owner Phelps and instructor Iturralde pushed back and said students should assume risk when participating in combat sports, but the court maintained that the black-belt instructors should be held to a higher standard than their student counterparts. When they appealed the decision to the state Supreme Court, it recently declined to review the case. Greener's used his story to motivate others and documented his journey to become one of only two people with his disability to go above 14,000ft on foot when he climbed Mount Bross in Colorado, according to his website. In January 2019, he started to regain movement and could walk with the help of a cane. He then set out to be the first with his condition to ascend Mount Whitney in California, with its elevation of 14,505ft. Last November, Greener posted a reflection on his Instagram about the six years since he was paralyzed. He said: 'Six years to infinity. The PTSD of the actual situation has all but healed. Having spent April 23 to now mending the prior four years. Which, to be honest, is pretty cool. And I'm left to mend the remaining pieces as it pertains to courtrooms, suits, and ties. 'Honestly, I've not achieved much of anything in 2024 and have seemingly regressed in career, finances, etc. Much of it out of my control. But that's OK, progress and growth isn't linear. 'The good news is I have a few doors in front of me and, relatively speaking, I'm happy and secure. So here's to hoping the right doors open.'
