Travis Kelce was hilariously ripped during he and older brother Jason Kelce's New Heights live show on Thursday night in Ohio during a spelling bee, asking contestants to guess words Travis misspelled himself on social media.
As part of the extravaganza's 'The Great Lombaby Games', pitting an athletic team against an academic team, a Cincinnati student-athlete had to spell squirrel, correctly, to win that round for his team.
Up stepped Jizzle James, son of former NFL running back Edgerrin James, who spelled the word correctly to give the athletic team the win.
After James spelled the word squirrel correctly, Jason Kelce hopped off the stage and gave him a hug.
'I just gave a squirle a piece of bread and it straight smashed all of it!!!! I had no idea they ate bread like that!! Haha #crazy,' Kelce's original tweet from 2011 said.

Kelce has admitted to using Twitter like a diary long before he became uber-famous in the NFL
He spoke most about his now infamous tweet where he was amazed by a squirrel eating bread

Several of Kelce's old tweets surfaced last November, with the now boyfriend of Taylor Swift, also posting about his enjoyment of naps and his favorite snacks.
Once the social-media posts surfaced, Jason had some material for a November taped episode of 'New Heights'.
'Maybe the biggest news of the past week is the Travis Kelce tweets circa 2009-2011. It has been all over the news,' Jason said. 'When you go back and read them, what does Travis Kelce think?'
Travis replied: 'I'm just using Twitter as like a diary. There's no... I'm just out here saying nonsense. "I just gave a squirrel a piece of bread" and spelt "squirrel" like a jacka**'.
'I think the only reason this one gets crushed is because of the spelling. But I'd be pretty... if I'm throwing bread around and a squirrel is eating it, I'd be pretty pumped up,' Travis added.
The now-34-year-old Kelce mentioned during that episode of 'New Heights' that messages like his squirrel-spelling fiasco is why he does not tweet anymore.
'Nobody followed me back then. But I will say, I have been trying to get those old tweets deleted since I've gotten to the league. But sure enough, it came to surface level,' Travis continued.
