Fans of the New Heights podcast love it when one of Jason Kelce’s daughters makes a surprise appearance.

It’s usually 6-year-old Wyatt, as she helped her father make NCAA picks one week and on Wednesday made it clear what the family’s new dog is named.

“It’s not Goonda! It’s Freddie!,” Wyatt said.

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s face lights up when he sees Wyatt, and she’s always delighted to see her uncle.

And Uncle Travvy paid Wyatt a sweet compliment, although she may not have known it.

Before heading to The Masters, Jason Kelce took Wyatt to a driving range in the Philadelphia area, and she showed off a great golf swing. Kelce, the proud father, shared video to his Instagram account.

“Excited for The Masters this week, so went out to the MGOLF driving range on West Chester Pike last night with Wyatt,” he wrote. “It was her first time with a real club, and I’ve never seen a prettier swing. She also won closest to the pin and got a mint chocolate chip waffle cone as a result.”

Donna Kelce, who is Wyatt’s grandmother, wrote: “Amazing!!! 🙌🔥she swings better than me….”

There were a lot of responses to Jason Kelce’s post, but none better than what Uncle Travvy wrote: “New golf shoe trend, rain boots! 🔥🔥”
