Jason Kelce is happy to be coached by his wife Kylie Kelce.
The 37-year-old retired NFL star opened up about his approach to household chores on the Wednesday, July 16 episode of his and his brother Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast.
“I think that what I respond to really well is nagging,” Jason said in response to a caller asking how she could get her husband to do chores without nagging. “Please nag the f--- out of me. Tell me to get my lazy ass up and take the g------ trash out. If you tell me to take the trash out, I'm not gonna be like, ‘Oh, I can't believe she's telling me to take the trash out.’ “

The former Philadelphia Eagles center said that he acknowledges he should be doing chores without the nagging, but that he needs it to get things done.
“I like the nagging, and I need it because I get caught in my own thoughts, and I forget to do things,” Jason admitted. “I'm like, ‘Oh, I'll get to that later. I'll go do this. I'll do it in an hour. I'll do it in two hours.' ”
Travis called Jason’s mindset “the Kelce way,” adding, “We think a lot about s--- that kinda doesn't really matter, but in our mind, we wander. We wander into possibilities.”
A father of four, Jason said he frequently asks Kylie to tell him to do things, but she says, “Jason, I don’t wanna tell you to do these things.”

“I'm like, ‘I get that. I'm just letting you know it's not gonna get done unless you tell me to do it,’ “ Jason noted. “So I am pro-nagging. I think nagging is a great thing to do.”
Jason credited some of this mindset to his sports history, saying, “I need that coaching,” and Travis added, “We're coachable guys.”
Travis suggested that caller's spouse “just get a whistle” to “snap him out of his f------ thought process.”
“Not gonna lie, I kinda like this idea,” Jason admitted of the whistle plan.
However, while Jason wants to be nagged into doing chores, he shared that he would never return the favor.
“I have never ever, and I will never ever, tell Kylie to do something around the house because she does enough,” Jason said of the mother of his four daughters — Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 3 months. “ If something doesn't get done, it's like, yeah, well, I should be helping out on this. Tell me what I can do because I am worthless unless you tell me that.”

And Jason was so taken by Travis’ whistle idea that he even considered using it to get his children’s attention.
“They're so ADHD, right?” he said of his kids. “You know how many times I have to tell them when I'm talking to them? ‘Look at me!’ And they'll and they'll look at me for a second, and I'll start talking to them and they'll start to avert their eyes. I'm like, ‘Hey. Right here. Look right here. Do not look away. I am f------ talking to you!' ”
