And welcome to Our Poor Friends. Today, we are debuting a brand new type of
podcast episode where we are talking about pop culture.
With our new pop culture episodes, we have a third. We've become a throuple.
A throuple! We really have!
We're so pop culture relevant. I know! We are relevant. That's amazing.
(00:30):
Yes. That was so... That's awesome. It was unplanned, too. That's how hip and
trendy we are. We really are. That's right.
We won't be old, but God damn it, we have our finger on the pulse of the pop culture.
Yeah, sure. We'll say that. We've got our finger on the pulse.
Yes. All right. So you have me, Jamie. I am joined by... Nicole. Nicole.
(00:51):
And... Kelly. Kelly Switha.
Tonight, we are talking about the latest, well, what some would consider a scandal.
Yeah. The love story that is Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift, yes. Yes. We are Kansas Citians.
Yeah. All of us. I think we're all born and raised Kansas City.
Yes. All born and raised Kansas City. Proud, happy Kansas Citians.
(01:14):
Which most Kansas Citians I know are pretty like.
And we pretty much all are the Midwestern types, you know, very.
Nice. We, yes, we, we fit in with that whole, we say Ope. Yeah.
Lots. We right past you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Exactly. So we're, we're pretty Midwest. We buy our Kansas City t-shirts like
fucking tourists. A hundred percent. Yes. And wear them proudly.
(01:37):
A hundred percent.
Yeah. A hundred percent. So with that in mind, I think I know where I stand
on the Taylor Travis thing. Yeah.
Because I love Travis. Yeah. I love Travis Kelsey.
Yeah. He is an amazing player for the Kansas City Chiefs in my mind.
And he's funny. And he's so Kansas City. That's what I'm saying.
(01:59):
Like, because he's Midwestern is what I think. He strikes me as so funny.
And so Midwestern and such so nice and down to earth and humble and such a nice guy.
His podcast is hilarious. Watching them talk is just fabulous.
And I remember in Kansas City, like a lot of people obviously nationwide don't
(02:21):
know this, but we heard stories about how he was trying to get her number and stuff like that.
And I at the time was like, oh, I think that would be awesome.
Like I think they would be a great match.
I love them together. A hundred percent. Me too. Do you?
So here's the thing. I have zero fucks. Really?
I mean, but here's the thing, because I don't, I don't listen to her music.
(02:41):
Yeah. And I don't either. And football for me, like my kid and my husband are
all in and they know all the shit and they do all the things and they watch
it together and whatever.
Like she'll be on the phone with him all night tomorrow night while the game's going on. Yeah.
But I, I love how angry it's made people. Yeah.
And how offended white men are by it.
So I'm like full steam the fuck ahead like now I'm like
(03:02):
all in yes yes yes like
now I have a stake in it because I love how
it's upset so many fragile fragile brats chats and dads yes brats chats and
dads yes because for me I'm just like she's no different than any other celebrity
that goes to a game nobody gives two shits when they're panning to Eminem at
the Detroit games nobody cares when they're panning to you know fucking Ray
(03:24):
Lewis at the game you know what I I mean? Yeah.
Nobody cares. And what they're just happy. Yeah. Like I love how happy they seem together.
They seem like they're really happy together. Yeah. So for our listeners.
Tomorrow is the Super Bowl.
Yeah. So we are all like excited.
I definitely excited for the Super Bowl. Chiefs are in it. Of course,
(03:45):
you guys, I'm sure know that. And you know, not not anyway.
Did I say we were humble? I thought I said that. Hold on. Hold on. Okay.
But anyway and so like anticipating that
she will be there tomorrow i'm super stoked about it
yeah but to your point like it does
bring me glee yeah there and in
(04:08):
all fairness it's a specific like kid rock
loving for sure white male that
hates her so much it is such a fucking snowflake
yeah and i just love it like these are the same men that are
like fuck your feelings if you don't like it you
know what i mean yeah yes so for
that reason alone i'm like all day long yeah i
(04:29):
don't care if it is a publicity stunt weren't they saying that at the beginning that
it was a publicity they say it now they say now yeah like anyone who pays any
sort of attention though like it's it's not i mean yeah no no well and let me
just like here's my there are conspiracies that it's all like manufactured for
his podcast and but i'm like why why why would they need to Yeah,
(04:49):
that's exactly right. Are they unpopular?
Right. Come on. Well, and I think, too, and maybe this is going like way out
on a limb. I don't know. But I also feel like it is.
The same demographic, because I don't want to necessarily use a specific word, that dislike her.
I wonder if it's because they see in her, A, she's a wealthy woman, right?
(05:10):
Yeah. She's a gazillionaire. Yeah. She makes, yes, she makes all this money,
all these things. For sure.
But then she's so philanthropic. Oh, yeah. She gives that money away.
She pays her people good-ass money for what they're doing.
And the people that this demographic the
person in this demographic looks up to doesn't do
(05:30):
that it's me and mine bitch fuck you yes so i feel like that's
a rub as well you know what i mean i agree yeah yeah
well so you had us watch the miss americana before we
came to this podcast you suggested that and so last night
i was drinking wine and watching it and of course in
my feelings but a hundred percent she talks about
like hey this is the right thing to do i want to
(05:52):
do the right thing i want to like give money to the people like i mean
she to your point and when you watch
it she's so down to earth so relatable yeah she seems
like a midwestern type of person and these people
that are like she is so arrogant she's i'm like where do
you see that because she is constantly
like making fun of herself and making a lot of
(06:12):
things and yes and i do go back and forth like when i watch
the grammys sometimes i'm like sit down yeah
you know but then at the the other part of it I'm like but she's such a fan of
the music yeah like she's not trying to get attention right
no by doing that she's literally so supportive of
other artists yeah and the music that it's too sighted for because it does sometimes
irritate me because they do pan to her so that I'm like but she's a fan of the
(06:36):
music and this is her I mean that's her area the Grammys you know what I mean
so I just and not to mention the fact that I mean there's.
I mean, she is like Madonna level. Remember when we were kids and like there
were a few people like Michael Jackson, Madonna.
Tiffany and Debbie Gibson for a short time. Like those. But like Tiffany and
(06:56):
Debbie Gibson never rose to that. Oh, well, no, that's true.
I mean, when I really think about the top level, it was like maybe Prince and Cher.
Like maybe. It's like her and Beyonce. It's her and Beyonce.
Like, you know, to your point, like maybe Lady Gaga got there for a minute.
I don't know. but yeah but i mean it really is like her and
(07:17):
beyonce so these are the most famous
fucking people in music yeah yeah
well and talking about her being humble like what you were
just saying she i saw on on the tiktok on the tiktok there was a video of her
at a table at the grammys and she's leaned over to shake somebody's to shake
people's hand she's like hi i'm taylor bitch we all know who you are you don't
(07:39):
even have to introduce yourself real that was showing that And they're like
this cracks me up her introducing herself. Yeah, like they don't know exactly.
I'm like, oh my god Yeah, but how awesome is that right?
And that's why I think they make a good couple because that's the kind of shit
He would do like yes, there's a certain breed of you look we were talking earlier
about how I really want a Chiefs helmet just so I can wear it around.
(08:03):
I think it'd be funny My lovely co-hosts have said I'm not allowed to wear it in public
correct I am the type of person that would wear that shit in public 100 yes
and there's a certain like breed of person
that doesn't mind getting attention if it's for
things like that yeah and Travis seems like that kind of person like when you
go on and on about his skills or whatever he's very humble about it yeah but
(08:27):
he also like did his Super Bowl podcast in a pair of Charlie Brown pants that
were super like right crazy yeah that's I love that energy yeah and it's it's very
much, I think, what attracts her to him. So I love them together.
I think they're super close. Well, and I think it's also they're both at the
top of their game in their own industries. Yeah.
And they're very independent. Like she doesn't, he's not writing on her and
(08:51):
she's not writing on him.
You know what I mean? So supportive of each other. Like, have you guys seen
the posts? Are you on threads?
Yes. So someone posted, Travis is putting on a masterclass right now of how
to be a good boyfriend to a strong, independent woman.
That's so true. Because he's at the Super Bowl and he's getting all these media
questions and so many of them are about her.
Yeah. So they're like, he's deferential.
(09:11):
He, you know, he talks her up. He doesn't spill any tea.
Yeah. He doesn't get tired of getting questions about her. You mean he's not
like Simone Biles' husband who's like, I had no idea who she was before I went
on a date. Right. Yeah. Go fuck yourself.
Is that what her boyfriend said? Her husband? No. Her husband.
Oh, that's sad. You didn't know who the best fucking gymnast in the world is? Go fuck yourself.
(09:35):
Yeah. Something about her being a catch.
And he's like, well, I always think the men are the catch. You're hilarious.
Yeah. Okay, buddy. Yeah. That's hilarious. No, I didn't know anything about it. But you're right.
Yeah. Like he is 100% teaching a master class.
Because at the end of the day, like it is, I could see it even becoming overwhelming.
Because we all know at the end of the day, she is like, oh, right.
(09:59):
I mean, yeah, come on. Nobody really, I mean, that's.
If you're a football fan, you're a football fan. You knew who Travis Kelsey
was. Yeah. That doesn't mean that everyone in the world.
It's not on the same level. But right. Everyone in the fucking world knows who
Taylor Swift is. Well, and I've seen posts too about dads that are like, thank you.
Because I have to let it be with my daughter. Have you seen the Cetaphil commercial?
(10:20):
The what? Cetaphil commercial that's coming out tomorrow. If you watch the Super
Bowl tomorrow, make sure you catch it. Oh, yeah, I'll watch it tomorrow.
Because, oh, okay. So it's on Facebook.
Yes, I'm an old lady, so I'm still on Facebook. And it literally is just exactly that.
Like he's got a teenage daughter that's kind of like you know
disconnected from her whatever and she's on her phone and on her eye
and but she comes in to watch and he wears like taylor
swift bracelets and it's like oh my god yeah the
(10:43):
jersey yes number 13 on
it yeah lucky yeah but you know that's the other thing about like just them
being together is how awesome it has been seeing her repping small businesses
from kansas city i said that too yes like how awesome is that for her to to
make sure that she's doing that yeah because at the end of the day like you know she could.
(11:04):
Not to dig not to dig on
britney holmes at all mahomes at all but like she doesn't do you don't see the
same thing yeah you know what i mean and honestly i love britney mahomes so
i'm not trying to say anything bad about her because i think i mean her fucking
swimsuit have you seen those yeah yeah so i mean good for her yeah so i was
at dinner last night and i was like man if i look.
(11:26):
Like Brittany Mahomes I would wear that level of clothing and just
your and just like yeah girl yes
girl 100% to the beach to the
I'd wear it to the supermarket yes ma'am
yes ma'am 100% I'd wear it
all over I would start mowing my yard just to wear it yeah
that is correct I would do whatever I've got to do to show that off
(11:48):
but with that said like to really see Taylor Swift like
so she went to that west side story and bought
shirts and yeah she's buying like the jackets and
all by local and i'm like god that is awesome well
and she helped promote that other nfl players why yes
yes those awesome jackets oh my
god that stuff she makes yeah yeah it was awesome yeah well
(12:09):
you know so i guess she's done great things for the i mean
somebody that didn't give two fucks one way or the other when it
all started yeah i think she's done amazing things to promote the
nfl i do too but it is a psyop according to
the right to the far right it's she's a she's a
democratic psyop trying to swing this election so let's not forget she's clearly
a governmental plant so it is i mean we're not just a love story we bought it
(12:34):
exactly we fell for it i'm gonna start voting democratic now thank you t swift
i never never did before but But well, now we're part of the sheep.
You know, everybody must fall. Sign me up for the hood. I'm fine.
For the cult. It's fine. I'm good with that. I'm good with that.
All right. So from our perspective, then, we are all pro. All supportive of
(12:55):
it. Supportive. Yeah. And anti-
The snowflakes. Yeah. Definitely anti them. Yes. Just one more reason to be anti. That's right.
And for those of us who are going to watch the game tomorrow,
are you going to watch? I'll watch because Jamie will have it on.
Riley will be on the phone with him all night. Okay. Yeah.
Watch the set of Phil commercial. I'll try. Yeah. Enjoy that. Enjoy that cry.
(13:16):
Yeah. Well, in all fairness, like it is like I will. It's super sweet. It is. Oh, God. Okay.
So out of curiosity, let me ask you this. so
i likened the relationship of travis
and tay and taylor i was thinking back about
tony romo and jessica simpson do you know oh
i forgot about them do you know that she got like huge hate did you guys read
(13:38):
jessica simpson's book no i haven't read it yet okay well she when i guess when
she got with tony romo he started losing and she said that she would come to
the games and sit there and and get booed through the whole thing.
Like she was the reason he got. Yep. Like she. Taylor was. Yeah.
Because Travis had that little slump. Right. Yeah. Isn't that awful?
(13:58):
Because it can never be his fault. It always has to be a woman's fault.
That they're failing at their job. I know.
And would, would a woman like, would that ever happen to a man?
No. You know what I mean? Like. If I'm fucking up at my job,
nobody's going to be like, it's her husband's fault. Or.
They're going to be like, no, she's a dumb bitch and she can't do her job.
Right. That's what's going to happen. Or like if Serena Williams started.
(14:19):
My boobs yeah get it in your tits I know I'm working on it oh
this is uh this is fun we I told you
guys we moved the podcast and so I had to move my microphones to
floor stands and they're not very supportive so I'm using so her tits are helping
my boobies to support my microphone anyway but yeah and so like I keep thinking
like can you imagine if Serena Williams like started losing would they blame
(14:42):
her husband for that yeah no never what they would say was it's because Because
she's distracted because she's a mother now. Oh, yeah.
It would be another reason why, as a woman, she can't hack it at the top level.
Of course. Of course. And I'm just like, what if... Yeah.
If Taylor started falling in the middle of her routines in her tour,
it would be because she's a dumbass. It would be her fault.
(15:02):
It would be her fault. Not because she's distracted by Travis.
No, not at all. Being there. Yeah.
Yeah. No, it's all bullshit. I know. And it's just... It's surprising to me.
Yeah. How, you know, you don't really think... I don't know I for a long time
knew hey I'm a feminist and I believe in the yeah but I you sometimes you really have to.
(15:26):
I don't know. It's always surprising to me. It's interesting.
I know where you're going with it because Jamie has said like the older Riley
got and the more her and I talked about things, he has said like,
I didn't pick up on that shit until you really started vocalizing. Yes.
And now sometimes he'll notice it before I do.
You know what I mean? Yes. And he, and there are still times I think that he'll
think like, okay, that's a little bit of a stretch because it's not,
(15:48):
it's not hard for me to be like this fucking country hates women.
Like, you know what I mean? But he does notice it so much more now when I speak
about it. Because at first he was irritated by the whole Travis and Taylor thing.
And I'm like, who's she hurting?
Yeah. Right. Well, especially because they say that like, you know,
the percentage of time because people were so pissed that they kept panning to her.
And the percentage of time is like less than a percentage point.
And then Jamie posted something on Facebook from one of those commentators.
(16:11):
It was like it was like 25 seconds.
Right. In total of a three and a half hour. Yeah. Yeah.
Calm the fuck down. Exactly. That's exactly right. Yeah.
And that's my thing is like at the end of the day. Well, and,
you know, it's exciting.
Exciting like we had some friends that have season tickets and they're
all taking pictures of her it's yeah it's exciting yeah seeing
the videos of little girls again yes we're going
(16:34):
to the show and they get yeah or like when jason jumped in the crowd and like
held that girl that was adorable yeah that kind of shit's amazing person cannot
like that that's what i'm saying that's a good point like what kind of dead
are you inside so true kelly that's exactly right That's so true.
Well, and to your point, what kind of person do you have to be to think that
(16:54):
this is a conspiracy? Right.
This is all for show. Like, this is against me. Like, really? And even if it is.
Yes. It's not fucking hurting you. Who cares? At the end of the day,
it's not fucking hurting you. Go about your day and live your life.
And isn't that, doesn't, isn't that what it all boils down to?
Just live your fucking life. Like, let's let me. Your marriage is miserable.
Yep. And you have a sucky ass life, which is why you're hyper fixated on two
(17:17):
famous people that don't even fucking know you. That's right.
That are just happy. Yes. And their happiness is making your already miserable
life even more miserable.
I know. Like last week when they got done with the AFC championship game and
she came down on feet. Oh, it was so cute. I know.
Yeah. To your point. I'm sitting there watching that like, who the fuck am I?
I'm not the person that gets excited. I know, right?
But this shit is adorable. Yeah, it is. It really is. Because I love them both.
(17:41):
I know. Well, and at the end of the day, like what kind of monster do you have to be to hate that?
Right. To hate on that. Right. To find a problem with that, whatever. And.
Like maybe see a therapist. Yes. I'm just going to say maybe.
See a therapist. I'm sure your company has an EAP line you can call.
Maybe call them. Better Health.
Yes. We're happy to sponsor Better Health, by the way. Seek it out.
(18:02):
That's right. Talkspace. Any of them. Text if you're not comfortable doing it in person.
Like I'm just saying. There's lots of ways to get help with your inner demon.
Yep. A hundred percent. I agree. I agree.
Any last thoughts on the Taylor Travis?
Any like other? I hope they win tomorrow and they just completely like that.
(18:23):
She's on the fucking field when the confetti is going and people just lose their
minds. That's what I hope. I do, too.
Although it'll be interesting, like if she'll go down to the field.
I'm sure she will. You think? Yeah. I think if she's going to go down for the AFC championship.
Yeah. He would go down for the. Because she went down with like his parents,
like his mom and stuff, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
(18:44):
That's true. I guess you're going down with the family. So yeah,
I guess that makes sense. I bet she would.
Yeah. Because remember, was it last year where Kevin Hart went and got on,
or was it two years ago where Kevin Hart went and got on stage as they were giving away the trophy?
Shut up. Yeah. And I was like, what a dick. Like it was a Kanye move. Oh God.
That fucking guy. I know. that fucking guy yeah and
(19:06):
so that's what i'm saying is like i don't
believe taylor would ever do a move like that no no no
no even video of her after the afc championship like when
jason came up and they were starting to hug she stepped back oh yeah she stepped
away out of yeah i was in like specifically pushed camera people in front of
her yeah yeah yeah 100 and that's the i think that's what makes her so lovable
(19:27):
yeah and yeah yeah i know agreed it would be nice it would be hopefully Hopefully they do win.
Hopefully she's there. And maybe we'll have a chief's wedding by some time. Oh.
Later this year, early next year. I hope they do.
I hope they. Well, because, you know, he's almost a retirement age.
That's true. So now he's at a point where he can retire and he can just.
I don't want him to retire because he'll move away.
(19:50):
Oh, no, they'll keep a house here, don't you think? No, he'll go back to Ohio.
They'll keep a house here. You think? There was an article in People that talked
about how much he genuinely loves Kansas City.
Really? like he intentionally has set roots down here really okay that makes
me well and i just say his friendship with patrick like i think it would be
weird for him to yeah i don't know yeah i
(20:10):
question how close they are do you yeah is that really i don't at all because
i you i hardly ever like i've seen like when they play golf yeah they talk to
other people all the time it's probably because they talk to each other all
the time so that's what i kept thinking is that they talk to each other all the time,
but I'm like, you never see them talking to each other.
(20:31):
Do they like each other as much as I think they do? I don't know.
Yeah. All right. Well. Yeah, I think that I think they do. OK,
well, good. I mean, I don't know them at all, but I'm going to say I don't either.
We're going to say we know them. Yeah, exactly. They're definitely tight.
Yeah. Tight. Yeah. Yeah. He's going to be he's going to be it'll be Jason as the best man.
And then Patrick at the wedding. You think? Oh, for sure. OK. Yeah.
(20:54):
We've declared it now. You heard it here first. All right. Then I'm when the
big double T wedding happens.
Yeah. Yeah, the double T. That's the... The T-T? Yeah. The TNT? The TNT wedding?
Okay, all right. Then you heard it here first. Breaking news,
you heard it here first. That's right.
You're welcome. Jason is the best man, and Patrick is the next groomsman in line. Yeah.
