Jason Kelce is leveling up his Thanksgiving grind. Before digging into the holiday feast, the ex-Philadelphia Eagles star revealed he’s doing a 48-hour fast with NFL vet Marcus Spears, Kelce admitted the fast is no joke, especially with all the mouthwatering smells teasing him, and he’s counting down every second until he can finally chow down.
Jason Kelce reveals his new pre-Thanksgiving ritual
On the Nov. 26 episode of his New Heights podcast with brother Travis, Jason Kelce spilled the tea on his fast, calling it “stupid.” He explained, “Marcus Spears and I agreed to do a fast.”
Kelce continued, “This is what happens when you retire. You f***ing do stupid s**t like this, and I agreed to do it. It’s over tomorrow morning. I’m not gonna do it for Thanksgiving. I’m gonna eat my face off on Thanksgiving.
Furthermore, Kelce claims that the two-day fast is just his way of balancing out all the calories he enjoyed from his Disney World and Wisconsin trips.
Kelce was also honest about the fast, admitting it’s no joke and that the smell of food is driving him nuts. “I’m about thirty-six hours in. Just the smell of food,” he laughed, confessing he’s not totally sure if fasting is actually healthy.
Jason thinks that if you don’t eat long enough, it’s bad, but if you do it the right amount, it’s good. Either way, he’s laser-focused on that massive Thanksgiving feast he can enjoy with his family.
Even with the fast, Kelce can’t stop thinking about the Thanksgiving grub. He’s excited for his family’s traditional feast and gave props to his wife, Kylie. Jason claims that Kylie handles the cranberry sauce, and her mother makes the turkey.
As for him, he is just the “inconvenience.“ Jason also plans to keep a fun family tradition alive with his dad, Ed Kelce, by frying an extra turkey.
