Travis and Jason Kelce with Caitlin Clark spark a shocking debate with one comment that caught everyone off guard

In a conversation that no one saw coming but everyone needed, Caitlin Clark recently sat down with Travis and Jason Kelce on their wildly popular podcast New Heights. While fans were expecting the usual football talk, the trio dove into a far more heated—and surprisingly relatable—debate: lakes or oceans? What started as a casual chat quickly escalated into a battle of opinions, showcasing the undeniable charm and humor of the Midwestern sharpshooter and the Kelce brothers’ larger-than-life personalities.

Jason Kelce, never one to shy away from controversy, kicked off the debate with a bold claim: “Kylie’s a big-time ocean person, and I’m outnumbered!” As the podcast audience waited for the brothers to banter over football stats, the Kelce duo immediately turned to the topic that divided their home—waterfront preference.

Travis, always ready for a playful jab, couldn’t resist teasing his brother’s fondness for the Jersey Shore, saying, “All the shores over there in Jersey are the same!” This hilarious quip set the tone for what would become an unexpectedly lively discussion, laced with Midwestern charm, Jersey pride, and that signature Kelce wit.

But it was Caitlin Clark who truly set the stage for a heated back-and-forth. “I love both,” she confessed with a smile, before reflecting on her own experiences. “Growing up in the Midwest, lakes were just what we did. They’re easier to access, and honestly, I feel safer. I’m not messing with whatever’s in that saltwater!” Her words hit home for many, as she painted a vivid picture of the more relaxed, peaceful experiences that come with spending time at a local lake. No sharks, no jellyfish, just water, family, and memories.

Jason Kelce, the proud Jersey native, wasn’t about to let Caitlin off that easy. With a glint in his eye, he passionately defended the ocean, especially the beaches and shores he grew up with. “The ocean is everything,” he argued, showcasing his eternal love for his home state of New Jersey. But in a rare moment of self-reflection, Jason admitted, “I’ll say this—I’ve recently found a soft spot for lakes, especially four-season lakes.” The room fell silent as Jason continued, sharing how he spent his childhood skating on frozen lakes, snowmobiling across frozen expanses, and hiking around those serene, untouched spaces. “There’s just something about lakes,” he said, his voice carrying the weight of fond memories.

Of course, no Kelce conversation would be complete without a little teasing. Travis, ever the instigator, couldn’t resist poking fun at Jason’s newfound love for hiking—a hobby that even the most hardcore football fans might find surpriing. “Hiking? You?” Travis laughed, instantly bringing the group back to their playful banter.

But Caitlin wasn’t about to back down. The Midwest pragmatist in her was now fully on display. “Saltwater? Nah, I’m with Caitlin on this,” Travis admitted, joining in on Caitlin’s defense of lakes and cementing their unlikely bond. “Lakes feel safer,” he continued, sparking a rare moment of consensus between the two athletes who usually share the spotlight for their prowess in football and basketball.

As the debate wound down, it became clear that no clear winner could be crowned. The conversation, though, wasn’t about a final answer—it was about the joy of casual conversations, unexpected connections, and the simple pleasures of reminiscing about vacations, family moments, and the beauty of nature, whether it be salty or fresh.

And so, the question remains: Are you Team Lake or Team Ocean? Will you join the ranks of the Midwesterners who prefer calm, fresh waters—or will you embrace the unpredictability and majesty of the vast oceans that have captured the hearts of millions?

One thing’s for certain—New Heights delivered an unforgettable episode that showcased the magic of candid discussions, unpredictable debates, and the surprising ways in which even the most offbeat topics can bring people together.

Caitlin Clark, Travis, and Jason Kelce have reminded us all that sometimes, the best debates are the ones that are the most unexpected. So, where do you stand?
