I'm 68 and couldn't name any Taylor Swift songs. Taylor is the world's most famous singer, and an American. All Americans should be proud of her, as she is a national treasure.

[@normapierce7642]

I just turn 63 and I feel the same way thank you🙂😊

[@paulposch3627]

And I’m 69 heading to 70

[@kirstieb8025]

you gotta check out her music! aren’t you curious? i would be

[@user-to2sc3cm6m]

I'd try Marjorie. It's about her grandmother who was an opera singer. She had some success singing but nothing like being a household name or anything. But she passed and so the song is about making Marjorie's dreams come true though Taylor. Video is a lot of home movies of Marjorie. And she put an old recording of Marjorie singing opera in the background of the song at the end.

[@catharinecole7956]

I’m 72. Seniors, your life will be happier if you treat yourself to listening to and watching Taylor’s videos. They are free and plentiful on KZbin. Taylor’s Folklore and Evermore albums are folksy, earliest albums are country, soft and hard pop, and other genre Taylor music widely available. Sit down and spend 5 minutes seeing why she can repeatedly sell-out every major stadium in the world. Don’t think I’ve seen even one story where a ticket buyer to an ERA tour concert complained about the experience and wanted money back. She wants to be appreciated for her songwriting so please take a few minutes to enjoy her gift to us.

[@hrdhry3034]

I’m a father of a 15 year old daughter and she couldn’t care less about football as well as I couldn’t care less about Taylor Swift. This last year has been the best year having my daughter next to me caring about something I’ve cared about for 40+ years and for those who hate the influence of Taylor Swift…well I hate the influence you have on the men of the next generation 😢

[@tieramcmahon5533]

Great answer. Way to go being a great girl Dad!

[@kelseyk530]

Too bad you didn't raise her as a sports fan from the beginning. I'm 33 and have been watching all sports with my dad organically. Started out with the early 90s legendary Bulls, and my dad was impressed and would brag how I could remember all the starters names and jersey numbers at age 3-4. He was a VP of a branch of Citibank in Northbrook which is right where the Bulls players lived in their Lake Forest mansions, and Rodman would come in on his Harley with Carmen Electra on the back and my dad would make sure to give his specific bank teller the latest drawing I made of him because I was enamoured by his changing hair color, like it being pink. We watch tennis, basketball, I've sat through his beloved golf, and of course, the best of all is football...college and pros. I remember watching Michigan when Brady was playing. We're from Wisconsin. My late grandpa, dad and I watch the Packers since I can remember. I go to games at Lambeau with my dad as we have had season tickets for 40 years thanks to my grandpa. My mom watches Bucks games by herself or with my dad along with every Packer game as my grandpa (maternal) was the OG die hard fan since Starr as he grew up during the Depression. When they were dating, he'd take her to various Milwaukee games like Brewers and Bucks. Sad and pathetic that daughters and wives don't enjoy sports and watch with their loved ones because they just like seeing an annoying singer.

[@karinapratiwi90]

@@kelseyk530Ok Karen, i’l bite. That annoying singer has done more than your privileged self ever could. She rejuvenated the economy with her tour by bringing in 5 billion dollars of consumer spending. She also donated to every local food bank wherever she performs not to mention she also treated her crew fairly and generously by giving them $100k bonuses in the first leg of the US tour. Her appearances at games wearing merchandises/clothing by women owned businesses catapulted their brand awaraness to a new height (we stan women supporting women here) Let’s not even go to how many awards she has won or the courses taught at schools like Harvard, Stanford & Berkeley which was inspired by her amazing work as a songwriter. People are allowed to have different interests/hobbies. Just because your parents like it doesn’t mean that you have to like it too, but at the same time if her being at the games helps parents forge deeper bonds with their children then more power to her! And people are allowed to like her and sports at the damn time as well since they’re not mutually exclusive.

[@user-to2sc3cm6m]

@@kelseyk530 Oh dear, you need to take a moment to work on yourself. Sad and pathetic certainly describes something. But not what's happening in households because of Taylor Swift. The idea that you can't hear a wonderful story from a dad who is so pleased and you can't help but to knock him down and throw shade at him. That's your reaction to hearing about a wonderful moment in someone's life. You see light and you want to snuff it out. That says so much about you. Sigh, I really wish you some form of happiness in life. I really hope so. Because it's not looking great for you right now.

[@JW-zd5ry]

Hello Erin and Charissa, My family from overseas are also watching the NFL now because they are curious about Travis Kelce. Taylor Swift is very famous in my country.🇵🇭❤

[@jenroberts4497]

THANK YOU!!!!!!! I absolutely LOVE you ladies and I didn't even know who you were until Taylor started dating Travis and I ended up in a rabbit hole of podcasts. Thank God I found you. You bring me so much joy. You can thank Taylor for that. I'm a swiftie because of my 17 year old. I'm 50 years old and I did not watch football. NOW I watch EVERY Chiefs play and ask about the plays to understand football. I am on the edge of my seat during games. . I LOVE watching you two, too. You are FANTASTIC!!!! Thank you. To all the haters - Calm the fuck down. Go T N T! Go Chiefs. I hope they win the Super Bowl but ,no matter what, LOVE will ALWAYS WIN!!! ❤️🫶🏻❤️

[@judy9165]

Same here 😅 so glad I came across these two !! And I'm excited for the Super Bowl this year !! That hasn't happened in a looonngg time 😊❤

[@colleennomura4912]

AMEN & AWOMEN!!! I LOVE THIS PODCAST...yes I started watching when Travis and Taylor got together & perhaps U were a big part of that Erin*!!! Mahalo!!! Thank you!!! IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LOVE AFFAIR. WHY ARE ROM COMS SO POPULAR*? IT IS ALL OF OUR DREAMS to have a most wonderful LOVE PARTNER ❤️ & OHANA/FAMILY*!!! The Swift and Kelce ohanas are PRIME TIME EXAMPLES OF WHAT HARD WORK, LOYALTY, LOVE & SUPPORT CAN GENERATE IN UNBELIEVABLE CELEBRATIONS*!!! I AM THRILLED FOR THEM & WHAT THEY HIGHLIGHT to the WORLD from the Entertainment perspective. YAYYY TRAVIS, TAYLOR, KEVIN, KYLIE, PAT MAHOMES & OHANA AS WELL*! BRING IT ONNNNN SUPERBOWL...LET'S ROLLLLL* ON!!! Selfish vain greedy snotty gossipy ugly pursuits can take a back seat!!! KEEP ON KEEPIN ON BEAUTIFUL ERIN & CHARISSA...MAY YOUR VOICES REMAIN ON THE CUTTING EDGE AS WE NEED A FULLER PERSPECTIVE OF LIFE!!! The real talk of what these athletes and families endure for our gratification IS EYE OPENING! Football needs to accommodate families more to insure longevity and FATHERS to BE FATHERS throughout their careers. Heartbreaking😢to see families fall apart becuz of unbalanced careers. ALL MY LOVE & APPRECIATION from Hawaii* 🌺 ❤ !!!

[@Nurse1974]

Thank you guys for being supportive. I love football and I love music but I have been crazy obsessed with watching this couple grow and seeing how it will turn out. I really hope it’s all about true love and not this BS they are calling a Biden ploy. I’m sick of hearing about that shit that this is govt plan. I really hope it’s love and they have true happiness. They deserve it.

[@lindarothchild6930]

This is quite a journey for me. I'm 76. If I was 17 it would be the same. I love watching the Travis-Taylor love story unfold. It involves music and football. I only ever watched football when there was a man in my life. Now there isn't, so I'm watching football on my own and I'm learning. I also purchased a streaming service so I could watch all the games. Yesterday for goodness sake I was watching a review of the plays from the Chiefs - Ravens game. Me, can you believe it, Me? AND, I've got Taylor's music streaming in my car, my phone and at home. I love them both. What's not to love, beautiful people, at the top of their achievements, talented beyond compare. I wish them all the best in their high profile world and thank them for giving me pieces of their love story along the way so that I can fill in the rest. Love you Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. And, thank you Erin and Charissa for LOUDLY and REPEATEDLY defending them. I love all of this!!!!

[@stevesolomon2348]

I'm a 78 year old male, a Chiefs fan, and a hopeless romantic. I've been watching Taylor's and Travis's love story since she went to the first game in September. I'm really hoping this is endgame for them. I agree with everything else you wrote.

[@stevesolomon2348]

I wrote that after the Super Bowl and have been watching every post I can about the game and about Taylor and Travis.

[@alwaysamused979]

There has been a lot of chatter about WHY people are so obsessed with Taylor and Travis' relationship and the best explanation I saw was that if this was a book, we'd read it so much the covers fell off, if they were a movie, we'd watch it over and over, fans know she is living the kind of love she has written about and wanted for years - and IT'S REAL - not a movie, not a book. We can't look away - we want to see what's next and soak up the joy, happiness, and good vibes along the way.

[@jess497]

Exactly 🙌🏼We want her happiness ❤

I'm 57 turning 58 soon and I am a Swiftie :)

[@tracyg2142]

You go girls! Thank you for always defending Taylor!! Some of the biggest names in sports and the world (including men!) are screaming her praises. Only insecure people are bitching about her..... and as she says, "haters gonna hate". Girl is living her best life, and loving her man! It doesn't get better than that! ❤ Your take on this is real facts. 👏🏻

[@SereneBliss]

Taylor and Travis are awesome for the NFL I dont get the negative energy. Wishing them luck

[@joyluke10]

I love how the extra chiefs jerseys and swag sold this season.... hahaha imagine if they win the super bowl, the amount of extra fans that will be in town for the celebration hahahaha

[@johnmccann1960]

One of the many things I love about these Ladies is the fact that Charissa ALWAYS has Erin's back, what an awesome frikin Friend to have.

[@gigiof10]

As women, we give grace to everyone but ourselves. Charissa is right, give yourself some grace.

[@janicebrummett8246]

You girls are THE best! just a little FYI, I saw Erin’s video telling Taylor to give Travis a chance and I thought, we’ll let me check this out!! Brightened my winter right up…Calm Down, New Heights, Pat McAfee….AWESOMENESS

[@shells4kids987]

Love everything you all said about Taylor!! Agree💯

[@suz1680]

Erin, Erin don't be hard on yourself. Your interviews after the game are always the best! And, you always give that little extra at the end. Great job!

[@CardinalHoosier]

Thanks for stepping up for Taylor. ❤

[@aizuddinghaffarud-din9365]

Taylor Swift is the best,why on earth so many football fans hate her much, everyone thinking she distracted on a big screen,no.she here to support her boyfriend and his teams.Those football fans are stupid.

[@sheilamason1895]

She was on for 25 seconds last game. Typically there is less than 15min of actual play in a 3 hour plus game. I always thought FB was boring. T.N.T. has me discussing plays w my 71 yo hubby and I’m 75. I never followed Taylor before either. We watch together now. I ask about plays and he asks me about Taylor. That’s a win win for the NFL.

[@ingridguevara2549]

You both are great and the funniest. I am 63 and bust my butt 24/7 in my job and love your energy and funny attitude. You both radiate and it is infectious ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@seassab1]

Taylor Swift got me to watch football! You know the wild thing? I ended up rooting for the Lions because I loved the story of the team. I know all these football player names, i'm learning about the game, the rules, the culture- and I'm sure i am not the only one! It brought me *here* too! I am even listening to all these other football podcast that are discussing and dissecting the game like the Rich Eisen show hahaha

[@mikefalvo8536]

She finally found love, someone who is not threatened. We have followed ger for how long and shared everything with us. She finds love and decides to share it with us. A family oriented person who wants love and a family. She didnt have to share but she did and look what happens. I just hope she knows

[@deborahflores3427]

I cry happy tears every time a story about Taylor and Travis come on you ladies are fabulous love you both

[@theresathompson8128]

My daughter is a swiftie and she now watches football with me. I love it. The Super Bowl will be fun since I’m a niner fan 😂. But I wouldn’t trade this for anything.

[@729888]

I’m 65 and me and my granddaughter have never been so excited for football and Taylor Swift. Her music is great and so are the Chiefs. This is a magical time that I will always cherish because these two world collided. Travis and Taylor are a love story that resonates like a fairy tale. I have loved all the shots of her cheering her ass off for her man.

[@auntietara]

NFL fan for 40 years, here, so I’m new to Taylor, but not to you two. Let me just say this: any time there’s an EA interview with ANYBODY, hubby and I stop what we’re doing to watch. When the game isn’t as exciting as we’d like, and we read a little or go get a snack, we’re always in our seats for the sideline interviews even if the game is lopsided. Halftime on Amazon, the postgame, all that … we’re here for Carissa’s professional-but-connected-and-accessible cat-herding of those adorable boys. (Fellow Seattle girl now living in KC - LOVE Richard Sherman! Run the damn ball!) 🥰🥰🥰 Y’all are hard on yourselves, and I get it. There absolutely IS a different standard for women. But from out here in TV land, we think you two are the greatest thing since sliced bread, and it’s not ‘cause you’re cute. It’s because you ROCK your jobs. Hubby watches every sports thing on KZbin he can find, but I only watch two … Calm Down, and New Heights. 👏

[@SuzeM_C_GravityRider]

Love you guys, well said and keep the rants going. Always been an NFL fan, Sundays in my family were church + football. :) Always been a Taylor fan and it is so f'ing nice to see happiness. Don't calm down on that subject ;)

Stumbled on this and so happy I did. I've been a fan of both for their broadcasting skills. Trully enjoyed how real they were!

[@Rickii13]

I love that Taylor will wear a $45 necklace alongside a $6500 bracelet and a $15 ring. All of them via women owned, small businesses.

[@sheila8730]

I am not in to the NFL, but like others am more interested now. Guess why?!😊 I also have enjoyed watching your podcast. I find the football analysis informative and I like listening to you supporting Taylor and Travis. I also enjoy the fun banter you two have. Thank you for discussing her support for small business and support for women.

[@Juju19Ema712]

Love you Erin and Charissa!! And I love that Taylor Swift and her swifties are getting these young ladies and women wanting to watch the best sport in the world (NFL) and one of the best organizations (KC) and coach (Andy Reid) and two of the very best in the game at their positions (QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce). Coming from a father of a (5yr old)daughter and I can't wait for us to bond over the NFL and coming from another fan of the very best Organization in the world and NFL; The (6x Superbowl Champions Pittsburgh Steelers🖤💛

[@petevernazza6972]

I absolutely agree with you guys regarding Taylor. I love that people are watching games because of TS.

[@shells4kids987]

Love you ladies, I just wish Erin could talk without interuption more. I feel she's only allowed a moment to talk at a time.

AT LEAST YOU TWO ARE HONEST AND TELL IT LIKE IT IS!!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING REAL….

[@duffymees8378]

I’m a 69 year old dad and I think haters always hate. Taylor is an amazing young woman who is kind, generous, intelligent, and a talented musician, singer song writer. Haters are…none of the above. I look forward to her celebrating the Chiefs plays except for the next game. I’m a Niner fan. 😊 My wife and I went to the last Superbowl with the Niners and Chiefs 😭where we had the pleasure and honor of meeting Erin at the NFL experience. She was the most genuine and kind person you could ever imagine. She made our day that day. We love her!!! Maybe someday we’ll meet Charissa. Love your podcasts.

He will grow up and have so much respect for you! 🥰 Thanks girls for supporting Taylor! I dont feel so bad about the rants I go on about supporting her now! LOL

[@kelcasey4095]

Ladies, YOU SAID IT BEST!!! 🎯🎯🎯There is so much CRAP & NEGATIVITY in this world…so this 53yr old NY GIANT (who loves football from a young age because of her dad teaching her the game🏈) is happy to see two people being HAPPY, SUPPORTIVE & in LOVE!!! Geez!!! COME ON PEOPLE!!!😮 #87 + #13 = 100

A motto for life.....when learning something new...you must be kind to yourself....

I think all athletes do that and see how they can fine tune. You are in a very nice position and you get to be there in person on the field .... usually raw emotion tells the best story using your senses and not psyching yourself out. Life is good ....

Being a mother is the hardest and most important job there is. It’s hard to show him love after you’ve held him screaming and crying all night and day EVEN THOUGH YOU DO!!! Don’t ever forget you know that baby better than anyone. ANYONE!!!! I was a mom that followed through with anything I said. I didn’t threaten my children if I couldn’t follow through. my middle son at 2 yrs old, absolutely refused to take his liquid antibiotics from the nurse in the hospital. The nurse asked me if I wanted to try. I very calmly told him that he had to take it to get well. He had 2 choices. He could drink it like a good boy. If not I would have to squeeze his mouth so I could pour it Down his throat. He sat up crying and drank the medicine. Tears ran out of my eyes. The nurse praised me as a mother. I know you are one of the best. Give yourself more credit than you do.

Thank you! Great podcast!❤

[@mindynickels57]

E you are going through postpartum. We mothers will always feel guilty for what we think we are or not doing. Yes, teething does cause blowouts. One son drooled like a St Bernard, forever. Great advice from your bestie, give yourself a break. Your body is still trying to balance hormones, it takes awhile. As far as Taylor is concerned, she has been back to football. My oldest son Sam and I were football fans, Denver Broncos. We talked football since he was a little dude. 7 years ago he died unexpectedly died from a pulmonary embolism at 37 years. Once this live story began I started watching Chief’s games (not easy for an older Bronco fan) this will be the first Super Bowl I will watch in 7 years. It doesn’t make me sad, I look forward to the excitement and love in the air. My first time catching your podcast, will definitely keep up with you girls👏👏

[@neec05949]

I love you beautiful young ladies!!! You have great information and humor!!! I think it’s wonderful to see Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift enjoying life!!! ❤❤❤

[@erme0213]

I used to watch NBA and only watches SB during halftime. Got curious about it when Taylor started dating Travis and i just discovered that I liked foootball now better that basketball. From Philippines here and would definitely watch live when I visit.

[@johnlee7085]

It’s jealousy. I think it’s awesome. I’m not a fan of hers musically which is fine, but I appreciate so many aspects of their lives.

[@ronlehew1479]

Love the podcast ladies. Y'all do an amazing job with the podcast and your regular jobs. It's nice to see the real side of people we watch on TV. I don't have any biological children, but I do have 2 stepdaughter and a stepson. My wife and I have been married 16 years in May. They mean the world to me, and we did the best we could to raise and teach the kids. Charissa is right that there's not a handbook on how to raise kids. Or what to do in every situation. You got to go with what you learned from your parents and life. The one thing you have is a husband who supports you and your job, and he's there helping take care of little Mac. Now that your season is over. You'll get a lot of quality and bonding time with your son. This will be time you cherish forever. Keep up the great work, ladies. Enjoy your little break because free agency and the draft are just around the corner. I agree that there is no going to DisneyLand or World without kids.

[@EmmittMAKNHP]

Love this podcast. Keep up the excellent work.

Sounds like The Villages in Florida...I wanna go there!! ...love NFL thru you gals...Thank you❤

[@Seahorse0418]

If it is in fact the Villages it also has the highest STD rate in the state of Florida 😂. You should go to Park Avenue in Winter Park. It’s 15 minutes from downtown. Cobblestone streets, fabulous boutiques and wonderful cafe’s and restaurants, and art studios. It’s great.

[@mikefalvo8536]

After learning that after 6 years it was over... it was so hard but we find out why. Devistating, then this.... it's perfect. Peole are forgetting why we are so invested. She is not getting younger, she wants a family, this is so perfect and now all this bullshit she has to deal with. It's not fu____ fair....

[@ronlehew1479]

Yes, I agree with both of you on Taylor and Travis. If they don't like tough shit. The media kind of did the same thing when Tom Brady started dating the supermodel.

[@kelseyk530]

But that relationship wasn't shoved down our throats and they didn't show Gisele every 10 seconds.

[@lauriep2018]

I was in marching band in high school and college as well as a three sport athlete in high school(one in college). I have a love for both music AND sports- they’re quite compatible. And it’s creating bonds between parents and kids as well as boyfriends/husbands and girlfriends/wives. Just so many “little” fans who can’t stand her and I swear it’s jealousy Plus, I guess you could say that Taylor Swift bright me to THIS podcast, which I never knew existed! Win win

Love you ladies. Yall are the best!!! 👏🏻🥳🩷

Hey Ladies…..so glad you are both ranting , cause that’s the way I feel as well………I think there are a lot of women haters out there and they are very unhappy about a woman like Taylor Swift and how powerful she and her Swifters are…….i was married to a man like that, divorced. Him and he is now dead….he would be rolling over if he knew that I was watching football and loving all the goings on……Im 76 going on 60 and I love Taylor and Travis and wish them all the best….when it all started I said this will be great as he is a real man and that will be such a nice change for her with all these boys she has been with…….who doesn’t love the Kelce family, how could you not, Donna so proud, Jason and Kylie and those gorgeous girls who love their Uncle Trav to pieces ………even Andy Reid is happy about it all…………. something everyone should enjoy as there is so much sadness in the world today….how could anyone be unhappy for them………anyway keep up the great work , I love the podcast and all the craziness involved…….huge hugs and kisses to Mac he is so lucky to have you as his Mom , stop worrying you are doing a great job….❤❤ Donna in Toronto…

Great points - Since when is being happy a bad thing?

[@bigdave9269]

First off, big fan of both of you. Second, coming from the music world- I appreciate what Taylor has been able to accomplish, especially in this past year. I appreciate that Taylor is one of the VERY few pop acts that actually sings and actually plays. Outside of that… I don’t need to see her every commercial break or everytime Kelce touches the ball. I’m not saying it’s her fault, I’m blaming the NFL and the networks. It’s a distraction, it’s annoying and no I don’t need to see Eminem or any other celebrity… You wanna show them once, cool… you don’t see Eminem 37 times throughout the game. And the little girl screaming to daddy call me when they score so I can see the celebration is NOT watching the game. That said, good for her and Kelce. I’m happy for her and Kelce. Next up… teething and the blowouts are not related. It’s the insides growing and maturing with the foods the little peanut is consuming. For as disgusting it is…. It’s equally as fascinating. Erin, please don’t be hard on yourself. Being a full time worker and a parent is tough. Please know this… it is ok to include the little one in EVERYTHING. Obviously you can’t bring him on the field when you’re working, but during the offseason. Go to an outdoor concert, bring the kiddo. Go to fireworks… bring the kiddo. Hit up Disney, even now… he won’t remember but every experience is amazing to watch. As for the rant on complaints about the Patriots (and now Chiefs) always winning, I agree… you don’t like it, beat them. Y’all are still doing the podcast in the offseason? Please say yes!

When you are on top jealous people want to tear you down. i defended Taylor Swift this week when I walked in on 2 managers talking shit about her. I got in their space and told them they don't know what they are talking about. I know her lyrics and would be happy to educate. Haters gonna hate

[@jasony8002]

Celebration city is a great place to live when I was around that area I was thinking it was definitely a family area to be around...

[@nobodysunderdog]

Great show ladies! Hey, the haters comprise 1 percent of the fan base. F'em.This 67 year old 'Boys fan loves her.

[@Tink545]

You two were on fire with this whole episode ❤

[@joehaarman3972]

Erin, as far as your boy's blowouts goes, have you changed his food diet any? For example, I remember there use to be different stages of baby food before you switch to table food. I just remember going through that with my kiddos.

[@podegenst0ner303]

Another great show today Good information and content

[@roberthurt2199]

I hope it's true love for Taylor and travis

[@lorenzogonzalez8695]

I’m 63 male and don’t mind it at all there’s a lot of haters that never played the sport not even peewee football!,

[@johnlee7085]

And the flip side of KC is Philly who was undefeated for months then missed the playoffs.

[@JosephMcKenna-he7ps]

2/3/24 Jay Gatsby and Daisy were happy. You are right ladies!

[@Muhmuh52]

The best podcast ever! ❤

[@JDtheDJ2009]

Here's the problem, as football fan, I don't care about their relationship or lack thereof. I am being forced to care because it's kind of being forced down our throat. I don't hate Taylor. I don't hate Travis. I hate that the NFL and the networks have forced this on folks just trying to watch the game. Didn't care about Tom and Giselle, or Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson or Carrie Underwood, either. Does it have to be every week and every game she attends?

[@colleennomura4912]

Sir*, so what if you're not interested*? Tons of other people are*!!!..and it's fulfilling & spicing up their football time even more..so pls can we be unselfish and share?!!! Unless u love watching football alone for the rest of your life*???! People love music, people love movies, people love other forms of art...so when they collide on the same court pls be open. The world is a big world.. the smaller you make it...the smaller your world will be😢. In the end..alone is no fun. Openess and learning from others makes our world expand wirh more opportunities and doors of experience to enjoy & partake. It makes for GREAT FAMILY ADVENTURES!!!😂❤😅 THE WONDER YEARS*!!! GOOD FUN, FAMILY/FRIEND TIME & ABUNDANT LIVING!!!

[@JDtheDJ2009]

@@colleennomura4912 It's a football game, not a concert or a movie. It might be a passing interest who may be watching the same game you're watching, but it doesn't need to be a sub plot of every Chief's game from now til the end of Kelce's career there.

[@BarbieSwanson-yu6rc]

I hope you don’t have daughters. What you “as a man” wants while watching a football game is not more important than what others want. You are not the center of the universe. What women want also matters. Not 1950 anymore.

Great quote

[@amypeters5085]

Love this Podcast!!

[@andreahansen-kd9rq]

Love this! Do you know if Taylor has seen this? Would love some confirmation if you know she’s seen it. LOVE YOU BADASS WOMEN!

[@jasony8002]

Brings me back to girl power days when I was dating someone at 19 but it was very welcomed ... Destiny's Child music ...

[@normapierce7642]

Love you girls video glad to see real people ❤❤

[@timmayer8041]

I don’t know any TS songs, but obviously know who she is. I don’t understand why people are giving her shit. She's not inserting herself into pre/mid/post game. She simply shows up, goes to her seat, and cheers like every other fan, and the NFL shows her for 30 seconds per game, against her knowledge or will. What's she supposed to do, not go?

[@podegenst0ner303]

Lone Cottage Fishing Camp in Cocoa FL good times

[@user-og6lb3nk2i]

Erin you may try baby oragel for your sons teething as well as a teething ring. They use to have rings that you put in the freezer. The cold feels good to the, as they bite on it. My son’s pediatrician told me kids are resilient. The first child you’re afraid of any and everything. The seconds, it like you’re ok! 😂 Agree with you ladies on the Taylor, Kelce topic. Their relationship is hurting no one. The networks and the NFL have to be happy gaining new fans. Keep doing what you’re doing ladies and enjoy your offseason.

[@lyndaalicea6037]

Women empowering others. Love you both❤

[@kirstieb8025]

Have you both seen Miss Americana? Taylor’s documentary? I’m sure you would love it if you haven’t already.

[@lisadiaz9229]

Love this podcast 👏🏻👏🏻

[@user-rc3rh6rx3p]

They showed Gisele constantly during Tom Brady's career. Not to mention the media shows every famous person in attendance at the NFL games. Why is showing Taylor Swift so bad? This is just more hate for Chief's Kingdom.

[@terrysimpson3092]

You ladies look great. Rodeo is America's number one sport......................be water my friends❤❤
