During her much-anticipated guest appearance on the New Heights podcast, Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark shared that she has been a longtime Kansas City Chiefs fan, long before their recent success and multiple Super Bowl wins. Clark, who won WNBA Rookie of the Year honors, clarified that her fandom was not based on the team’s current success but rooted in her love for the Chiefs from a young age. When the hosts, Jason and Travis Kelce, asked about her favorite players, Clark didn’t hold back, revealing that Travis is one of her favorites, which prompted an enthusiastic reaction from the brothers.
However, Clark didn’t stop there. She also praised the Chiefs’ star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, calling him a standout player as well. Travis Kelce, always the entertainer, seized the opportunity to mimic his quarterback’s famous voice. He delighted listeners by pulling off a hilarious impression of Mahomes saying, “Um. I’m here,” which humorously echoed the familiar Kermit the Frog-like voice Mahomes is known for. This lighthearted moment drew laughter from everyone involved, adding a fun, playful dynamic to the podcast.
The comparison of Mahomes’ voice to Kermit the Frog has become a running joke among fans and media, ever since Mahomes first became the Chiefs’ starting quarterback in 2018. The quarterback himself has embraced the humorous comparison, even responding to it with a simple remark about his voice during an interview. This playful jesting is all in good fun, with Mahomes himself enjoying the laughs, although it did cause a stir when the Las Vegas Raiders once featured a Kermit Mahomes doll during a training camp skit aimed at poking fun at the quarterback.
The lighthearted interactions between Clark, the Kelce brothers, and Mahomes serve as a reminder of the camaraderie and humor that defines the Chiefs’ locker room. These moments of levity not only highlight the personalities of the players but also strengthen the bonds they share. Fans of the Chiefs and the WNBA alike are finding joy in these behind-the-scenes moments, which offer a glimpse into the fun and close-knit nature of some of the league’s biggest stars.
