In a recent episode of the Kelce brothers’ podcast New Heights, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, 34, shared a humorous moment where he confused Yoko Ono with Olympic speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno. The mix-up occurred when Travis commented on the public attention he and girlfriend Taylor Swift received in Australia during her Eras Tour stop.
Travis jokingly referred to himself as the 'Beatles... Yoko Ono,' prompting his brother Jason to correct him, leading to a lighthearted exchange between the siblings. Travis then realized his mistake and acknowledged the humor in the situation.
Jason admitted his own limited knowledge of Yoko Ono, recognizing her as John Lennon's wife but unsure of her background beyond that. He humorously speculated that she might have been a figure skater, adding to the comedic moment.
For clarity, Yoko Ono, 91, is an accomplished artist, singer, songwriter, and peace activist known for her association with John Lennon. On the other hand, Apolo Anton Ohno, 41, is a decorated Olympic speed skater who won multiple medals across three Winter Games from 2002 to 2010.
One interesting detail that may have contributed to Travis' confusion is that Ohno was raised by his father, Yuki Ohno, which shares a similar name with Yoko Ono. Despite the mix-up, the Kelce brothers' podcast moment provided a light-hearted and amusing exchange for their listeners.
