Ep 67 - Flying High: Exploring Bravery in Life and Football Inside the Kelce Documentary
Hey everyone! We're diving into the awesome story of NFL star Jason Kelce, as seen in the 2022 Kelce Documentary on Amazon Prime. We kick things off with some lyrics from Guy Clark's "The Cape" – a song that's all about taking life as a big, bold leap of faith. This tune really hit home, especially in this one part of the documentary where Kelce walks onto an empty football field, making us think about all the big jumps we take in life.
We chat about Kelce's journey, from his early dreams to his grind as a walk-on at Cincinnati, and how he made it to the NFL, even as a sixth-round pick. The guy has had a 13-year rollercoaster ride with the Philadelphia Eagles, complete with surgeries and tough times, showing just how tough and passionate he is about football. Then, there's this crazy twist where he and his brother, Travis, end up facing off in the Super Bowl finals – talk about family drama!
Next up, we talk about Kelce's life outside football. He's been wrestling with the idea of hanging up his cleats and what comes next. He's trying out stuff like cattle farming, podcasting, and real estate, looking for that next big thing. We also get into his personal life, like how tight he is with his brother Travis and how his family's been there for him every step of the way.
Throughout our chat, we highlight some cool quotes from Kelce that really stuck with us. He talks about the importance of believing in yourself, pushing through discomfort, and staying true to who you are. These nuggets of wisdom help us explore themes like bravery, resilience, and facing the unknown.
The documentary is not just for football fans – it's for anyone looking for a bit of motivation in life. We encourage you to believe in yourself, be who you are, and take those big leaps. Just like Jason Kelce, with the right attitude, you can really soar. Remember, embracing your journey, no matter how tough, always makes you brave. So go out there and fly high!

The Cape by Guy Clark
Eight years old with a floursack cape
Tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage
Figurin' what the heck
He screwed his courage up so tight
The whole thing came unwound
He got a runnin' start and bless his heart
He headed for the ground
He's one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath
Always trust your cape
All grown up with a floursack cape
Tied around his dreams
He was full of spit and vinegar
He was bustin' at the seams
He licked his finger and he checked the wind
It was gonna be do or die
He wasn't scared of nothin' boys
And he was pretty sure he could fly
He's one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath
Always trust your cape
Old and grey with a floursack cape
Tied all around his head
He's still jumpin' off the garage
Will be till he's dead
All these years the people said
He's actin' like a kid
He did not know he could not fly
So he did
He's one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath
Always trust your cape
