Jason, 36, went on the tangent during a clip from his and Travis Kelce‘s New Heights podcast shared to Instagram on Monday, Oct. 22, during which the retired athlete made his younger bro cackle with laughter over his opinion on the popular seafood.
“If you like lobster, you’re lying to yourself. You like butter,” Jason declared in the hilarious clip, while Travis, 35, chimed in through laughs to say that “lobster tastes like absolutely nothing.”

While the Kansas City Chiefs tight end continued to belly-laugh over the conversation, Jason went on to say, “Lobster can essentially be toast at that point. There’s no reason you’re eating that other than to get butter in your system.”
“‘I like crabs,’—Do you really? You like breaking all of this and getting minimal meat?” Jason further questioned, before answering his own question and saying, “No, you like butter.”
“It’s so true,” Travis said, still giggling, while Jason urged all the lobster-eaters out there to “Stop lying to yourself.”
He also suggested putting some seasoning and butter on a piece of toast for the same sensation, calling it “easier than trying to break open a freakin’ crustacean.”
“That’s good s—t right there,” Travis said, before adding, “Shoutout to Red Lobster.”
The popular lobster restaurant chain even replied in the comments, quipping, “Two butters with a side of lobster, noted 😉.”
“I so love how funny Travis thinks Jason is. He’s always cracking up over him,” one user noted in the comments.
Another warned Jason to “Stay out of New England” with that controversial opinion, telling him, “They’ll come for you.”
