Travis Kelce asks Paul Rudd about his feelings after Chiefs’ playoff exit
During a candid conversation on the New Heights podcast, Travis Kelce asked Rudd how he was holding up after the Chiefs’ playoff loss. Rudd, known for his easygoing charm, reflected on the highs and lows of being a Chiefs fan. He expressed gratitude for the joy and memories the team has provided over the years.
“Honestly, how am I feeling about it as a Chiefs fan? I am so happy to be a Chiefs fan. The joy… and the memories and everything that the Chiefs have given me with my family, with my kid, it’s been an embarrassment of riches,” Rudd said. He added that although this season wasn’t the one, he is optimistic for other teams and their fans to experience similar excitement.
Rudd also gave props to Mahomes and the squad, wishing them well. “I’m thinking about Patrick. I’m wishing him a speedy recovery and everything for the club,” Paul said. “I’m excited for some of the players to get maybe a little bit of a summer vacation… you’ve played an extra season of football compared to everyone else,” he continued.
Fans also chimed in, sharing their own takes on the Chiefs’ rollercoaster season. Many resonated with Rudd’s “embarrassment of riches” line. One joked, “I feel exactly like him. Does that mean I could be Ant-Man?” while another said, “Paul Rudd is saying how we all feel! Being a Chiefs fan but we all thinking about Travis, Mahomes, Jones, and the rest of the Chiefs and how they are doing.”
