In an episode of New Heights, a podcast hosted by brothers Travis and Jason Kelce, Machine Gun Kelly called in with a special request: He asked the Kansas City tight end to play for the Cleveland Browns in exchange for half a million dollars in cash.

“I’m sure you get asked this question behind closed doors a lot, but I would be remiss if due to the nature of our friendship, and just as a Clevelander, if I did not insert this question personally,” Kelly said.

“I will give you $500,000 cash upon arrival just for shopping or whatever you want as well as matching that same amount as a donation to both of our high schools, both Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights,” Kelly added, “as well as every day breakfast and coffee delivery from my restaurant, if you would just come home and put on these colors right here.”

They all erupted in laughter as the rapper pleaded with Travis Kelce to “come on home.”

“You know that was the original dream, dawg,” Travis Kelce said. “You know that was the dream!”

Travis Kelce shared that he gave Kelly the OK to call in to a taping and make a request, and said he had no idea what to expect. Earlier this month, Kelce spoke to the Wall Street Journal about his heavily followed relationship with Taylor Swift and the paparazzi that’s been glued to his neighborhood for weeks. Despite being familiar with being in the spotlight on the field, “I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them,” Travis Kelce told WSJ.

During the podcast, the tight end said he’s pleased playing for the Chiefs. “I’m not gonna lie,” Travis Kelce said. “The situation is pretty good in Kansas City.”
