Future Hall of Fame center Jason Kelce isn’t the only member in the family with a top podcast today. Kylie Kelce, Jason’s wife, has quickly made her mark in the podcasting world, already shooting up to No. 1 on the charts. Her new project “Not Gonna Lie” has overtaken Joe Rogan’s “The Joe Rogan Experience” as the top podcast on Apple and Spotify.
Kylie Kelce Has the Top Podcast in the World
The most incredible fact about Kelce grabbing the top podcast spot is that it took all of one episode to reach the summit. Kelce’s debut episode featured Kaitlin Olson, star of the long-running FX hit “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”
Kelce was adamant early on that her show would be different than that of Jason and Travis’ famed “New Heights” podcast.
“I have a husband that you might know about,” Kelce said at the beginning of her first episode. “He sort of, let’s be real, dragged me into this. I swiped right and now we’re here.”
Kelce noted that she wanted to do the “Homer Simpson” and “roll back into the hedge” but no one was allowing it due to articles and people talking about their family. “If you’re going to talk about our family, you’re going to talk about me, you might as well hear it from me.”
I am obsessed with the fact that Kylie Kelce is making her own podcast cause she got so annoyed with people talking about her family and decided "fine. We can talk, but you'll hear it from the source. so shut up"

The mother of three, soon to be four, wanted to open up about her life and family and share what it’s like being married to a now-former football player who is still quite busy between his podcast and his work on ESPN as an NFL analyst. She also touched on how she’s able to handle so much by herself.
“When I have to do something…I will schedule childcare,” she said via Vanity Fair. “My husband could tell me 72 times that he is going to be in the house during the times I have to leave it, and I will still schedule childcare. It is not a knock on my husband. My husband is busier than he has ever been.
“I see him less now in retirement than I did when he was playing football. We had a set schedule then. Now it is an absolute free-for-all. He is working so hard and really grinding right now, and so I just make sure that I’m covered. And if that means that he’s at the house and someone else is there just to cover or make up the difference, then that’s what we have going on.”
Who Is Kylie Kelce?
