Jason Kelce was prepared to go the extra mile to make sure he had smooth skin while posing in a Speedo.
Jason, 37, opened up about wearing a Speedo during his annual Beer Bowl on the Jersey Shore, which raises money for the Eagles Autism Foundation, during a Wednesday, July 2, episode of his “New Heights” podcast, which he hosts alongside brother Travis Kelce.
“I think everybody saw the viral moment with the Speedo,” Jason said, referencing a moment where he tore off his swim shorts and revealed the itty-bitty design. The former Philadelphia Eagles player explained that he was wearing a Speedo because he lost a weight loss competition against his teammate Beau Allen.
“We talked about maybe adding something else to [the bet] and the most asked thing from our fans was that the loser also has to get waxed,” he said.
Travis, 35, then paused Jason and asked exactly what kind of wax he got.
“I got a bikini wax,” Jason answered.
Travis, who was appalled by his response, leaned into the camera and said, “You did a what?!” he exclaimed.
Jason then joked that he was actually thankful for the wax, admitting it would have been “more gross” to be in a Speedo without one.

Travis asked how the wax felt, to which Jason replied, “I mean it wasn’t fun. The people at European Wax in Philadelphia did a great job. They made it as comfortable as they could. I had a great technician. I understand why some men get it [but] it’s not a thing I’m gonna redo,” he said while Travis cracked up in the background.
Jason went on to say that the technician tried to talk him into getting a Brazilian wax, but Jason denied it. “They said the butt [strip] isn’t as painful but I don’t like anything in that crease. That’s a no-fly zone for me.”
While they continued chatting, Travis was sent a video of Jason getting the wax done and couldn’t stop laughing. “The spread eagle is hilarious,” he said of Jason’s position.
Jason continued, sharing he was surprised he had to remove all his clothing from “the waist down” upon starting the appointment. “They say, ‘Now assume the butterfly position.’ I am filleted open. I look like a turkey. I took it like a man.”
Travis asked if Jason screamed during the appointment, but Jason told him he didn’t want to give Allen, 33, the “satisfaction” of listening to Jason wince in pain.
“It helped raise a lot of money,” Jason proudly said of his Speedo moment.
