Jason Kelce can cross one item off his bucket list.
The newly retired Eagles center took a giant step — or jump — into his post-playing career, leaping on to a flaming table as part of his “New Heights” podcast that he hosts with his brother, Travis.
Jason’s retirement is off to a hot start … literally

In a video shared to the podcast’s X page on Tuesday that teased Wednesday’s upcoming episode, Kelce, who previously expressed a desire to smash a table in Buffalo, wore a matching long-sleeve green shirt and pants as a person lit a fire on a table.
As he climbed onto the back of what appeared to be a fire truck, the now-former NFL star said, “I’m Jason Kelce, welcome to ‘New Heights’” in the same vein as the introduction to the MTV show “Jackass.”
Kelce then jumped off the truck and onto the flaming table, which crashed to the ground as he put all of his 295 pounds on it.
Some of his backside caught on fire, and a fireman on-site quickly extinguished it with his hands.
While Jason got to have the fun of jumping onto the table, Travis was off to the side, smiling and laughing hard.
Kelce, the six-time All-Pro, made plenty of headlines during the AFC divisional round this year when he supported Travis and the Chiefs in Buffalo.
He tailgated with fans before the game, and then during the action, he climbed shirtless out of a suite — which also housed Taylor Swift — and chugged a beer in front of Bills Mafia.
Nevertheless, during an episode of the podcast that was released after the game, Kelce revealed that he did not in fact jump onto a table during the festivities before the game, which has become an iconic tradition among Bills fans.
“I was hoping I was going to get an opportunity to go through a table but it didn’t happen,” he said. “No tables … I don’t know what I was expecting but everyone was beyond excited to be there and enjoy some good football.”
