Travis Kelce messed up in 'New Heights' podcast

Travis' brother Jason quipped the joke, "You're like the Beatles, Like Yoko Ono," while he was talking about all of the media attention he got upon arriving in Australia.

Travis laughed at that comparison before asking, "Yoko Ono, was that a speedskater?" After composing themselves, Jason continued, "I don't even know the full story of Yoko Ono, I know she was with John Lennon and that's about the extent that I know. She might have been a figure skater, who knows? Speed skater, sorry."

Travis continued saying, "Well dude it's a wild ride, I will tell you this, Australia did not disappoint." He added, "Only went to Sydney, got a lot of friends I've met over the years that are out there in Melbourne and definitely want to get out there and see you guys and see what Melbourne has to offer."

"But Sydney was a beautiful city, I want to say similar to Miami, a lot of intercoastal, it was cool to say the layout of the land over there let alone the zoo and seeing all the exotic animals."

He further added, "The kangaroos were pretty sweet, got to see a red panda up close and personal. It looked like a friendly racoon."
