Move over, Erma Bombeck — the Kelce brothers are stepping in with their own brand of parenting wisdom.
Jason Kelce, a father of four young daughters, has the hands-on experience to back it up. His brother, Travis? Not so much. In fact, he openly admits that any parenting advice he dishes out is purely “unqualified.”
Despite their differences, in a bonus episode of their “New Heights” podcast, dubbed “Heights Hotline,” released April 23 via Wondery+, the duo opened the phone line to callers and shared their take on two serious parenting topics, "feral children" and "underwear snacks."
With three youngsters under the age of 10, the first caller insisted her kids are "completely feral" and said recently one child needed 13 stitches across their forehead after jumping off an exercise bike. So, she asked the brothers what she should do to keep them from hurting themselves — or each other.
While Jason advised her to cover outlets, put away exercise bikes and “get rid of sharp corners,” Travis told the caller to tell the children to go outside, insisting, “You guys are too wild, too crazy" and "getting too big for this, " so, "take it outside.”

Another caller asked the brothers how she could get her daughter to stop stealing other people’s snacks — further explaining that just today, she had found gummy worms in her child’s underwear.
“I think if you're hiding food in your underwear, that's a little bit weird,” Jason responded.
But Travis disagreed, because as he put it, "underwear doesn’t come with pockets," and the underwear itself is “kind of the pocket,” adding, “that's how you know it's safe in there.”
However, he quickly added, “You're on your own. I have no f—ing idea what you do with that, other than you just give a good — 'Hey! You don’t put those gummy worms in your diapers!'"
“Your kid is a thief, is really what it is,” Jason interjected, advising the caller to look at countries “where they cut your hand off for stealing,” then suggesting she say to the child, “If you keep doing this, this could happen one day and then hopefully they stop stealing.”
Of course, he didn’t actually advocate cutting off any limbs.
“Obviously you're not going to cut his hand off, right?” Jason said. “You just get to the point that they start to cry, where you're acting like you're going to cut it off. So you traumatize them into thinking that they shouldn't steal, then they'll stop.”
The Kelce brothers release new episodes of their podcast weekly, with bonus episodes available exclusively on Wondery+.
