Jason and Travis Kelce Reveal Tattoos They've Considered Getting

Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce are notably bare-skinned, in an age where professional athletes sporting ink has become the status quo rather than an exception to the rule. On the latest episode of their New Heights podcast, however, the famous brothers discussed which tattoos they've thought about getting. Though, from the sound of it, you needn't hold your breath.

The subject came up during the Kelces' "Fan Mentions of the Week" segment on Wednesday's new episode, when they discussed fans getting tattoos in their likeness. They pointed out one diehard who got a tattoo of the duo's Garage Beer brand, an independent light beer label based out of Cincinnati that they recently partnered with. Likewise, another fan got Jason's signature tattooed on her arm after meeting him at a recent charity event in Sea Isle City.

However, when Jason asked Travis whether he'd ever get a tattoo, he initially shut down the idea.

"No. We talked about doing a family crest or something like that, or have something fun that me, you, and dad could have gotten," he responded. "I don't know. I would still be open to it, I just don't have the creative desire to like, wanna get a tattoo."

"Yeah, it's like the forever thing that really puts a damper on it," Jason admitted. "I've never pulled the trigger on it, don't plan on it. I might get a wedding ring tattoo because I take my ring off to do a lot of things. I don't like having rings on."

"You're notorious for losing rings, Jason, you don't have to explain yourself," Travis quipped, referring to the $100,000 Super Bowl championship ring that the former Philadelphia Eagles center lost in a giant pool of chili earlier this year. "How does Ky feel about it, that's the real question?" he asked, referring to Jason's wife Kylie.

"Oh, she's indifferent, she's like, 'Yeah, you wanna do that or not,'" he explained. "I mean, she's a little upset that I lose my ring sometimes."

When Travis then floated the subject of "the worst tattoo a person could get," Jason said that while he didn't want to "put people on blast," he thought that "a Garage Beer tattoo is about as bad as it gets."

"I think the worst tattoo somebody could get is like when they get like a tattoo of a team winning a championship and then they don't win the championship, I think that's the worst one you could do," Travis added. Not that Eagles fans know anything about that, of course.

Sailor Details Harrowing Rescue After ‘Ghost Ship’ Washes Up on Popular Beach

Details have come to light regarding a mysterious "ghost ship" which washed ashore on a popular Florida beach.

The 45-foot vessel, dubbed “Lady Catherine III,” came to shore earlier this week on Pensacola Beach. Its captain, Michael Barlow, spoke to WEAR News about its ill-fated voyage. Barlow had planned to take Lady Catherine III to Honduras for the summer, where he teaches scuba diving.

"When the season was over, I was gonna come back,” he explained. “My family and I were gonna move on board and take off after hurricane season."

Barlow and a pal left at the beginning of June, planning to travel 884 miles from Fort Pierce, FL across the Gulf of Mexico before landing in Honduras. For the first week of their journey, there was little issue.

"The forecast was beautiful," Barlow recalled. "We had 15 to 20 knots on our backs all the way home to Texas."

But then, as they passed through Louisiana, a savage storm descended upon the small vessel. "The seas started building, wind hit us, and it was 30 to 40 knots," he said. "It pretty much stayed that way for the next two days."

Complicating matters further, Barlow’s mate became hypothermic and was largely absent while the captain guided the boat.

"The autopilot broke in the first storm, so we had been hand steering for three days," Barlow explained. "[My friend] had all the symptoms of hypothermia and he went down below and passed out. He was unconscious throughout all of this.”

Barlow continued: “I'm sitting there and watching these seas build, so I started hammering on the radio going through the procedures just seeing if there was someone within reach that could help us. No one was responding. I went through 'pon pon pon pon, mayday mayday!' — and no response."

Eventually, he noticed an S.O.S. feature on his Garmin radio. When activated, it immediately connected him to the Coast Guard. "They told me they were looking at the radar and said, 'You are fixing to get slammed again. We can come get you right now. But we are three hours away and you have to leave your vessel,'" Barlow recalled. "I said to come get us."

New Orleans-based rescue swimmer Richard Hoefle undertook the task of extricating the two men.

"One of the big challenges with getting out there, apart from the distance, was the weather," Hoefle explained. "We were going to be dodging storms, flying left and flying right to get around these storms passing in the Gulf. When we showed up. The boat was just battered. It was moving back and forth in the waves. I was getting seasick from the helicopter just looking at these guys."

Hoefle proceeded to jump from the helicopter and maneuver his way through the fierce waves to the boat.

"It was like a movie," Barlow said of his rescue. "Bro jumped in out of a helicopter in these mad big seas and swam over to us with nothing but snorkel gear on," he marveled.

"You can just see the relief as they see the light at the end of the tunnel,” Hoefel recalled of reaching the boat.

Barlow and his pal were flown to Panama City, Florida and returned home shortly after. When a passerby found Lady Catherine III run aground this week, she found Barlow on social media and summoned him to the scene.

While scavengers had relieved the boat of all valuables before Barlow arrived, he contends the experience, and his rescue, were more valuable than Lady Catherine herself.

"I've got a 9-year-old son and a beautiful wife," he said. "We had plans to go sail and travel and we worked real hard to get here, so I was gonna come home."

Paul Mescal Didn't Want 'Gladiator II' Training to Make Him Too Sexy

Paul Mescal has been hard at working bulking up for his role in Gladiator II. The Irish actor prepared for the role by putting in lots of time at the gym to achieve the body of an ancient Roman soldier. But he didn't want to take the training too far. 

Mescal opened up about his Gladiator II experience in a new interview with Vanity Fair. His priority wasn't simply to get a more chiseled look, but to physically resemble what his role required. 

“I just wanted to be big and strong and look like somebody who can cause a bit of damage when s--t hits the fan,” he explained. “I think also, sometimes, one could, in striving for that perfect look, end up looking more like an underwear model than a warrior.”

He confessed that how he looked in the mirror affected how he embodied his character. 

"Muscles start to grow, and that can be deemed [an] aesthetic in certain capacities, but there is something about feeling strong in your body that elicits just a different feeling. You carry yourself differently,” he said. "It has an impact on you psychologically in a way that is useful for the film."

Mescal's co-star Pedro Pascal even gave him the nickname "Brick Wall Paul" because of his physique. "He got so strong," Pascal admitted. "I would rather be thrown from a building than have to fight him again. To go up against somebody that fit and that talented and that much younger… It's brutal, man."

Gladiator II will be in theaters across the country on Nov. 22.

Carl Weathers Left His Family a Shocking Amount of Money in Cash

Whether you met him on the football field or on screen in movies like Rocky or The Mandalorian, Carl Weathers was a beloved figure in American culture. The Happy Gilmore star died Feb. 1 at the age of 76, and it turns out he left behind quite a sum of money for his family. Even more shocking was just how he kept it. 

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Weathers' family revealed that he had $870,053.83 at the time of his death. He kept a total of $664,585 in cash in safe deposit boxes at the bank, in addition to two City National accounts with $40,278 and $107,190, respectively.  

That's not all Weathers left behind in his name. He owned a 2018 GMC pickup truck with 18,976 miles on it estimated by the family to be worth approximately $58,000. 

Weathers' life took him from the football field to the silver screen in the early 1970s. He briefly played with the Oakland Raiders and had a quick stint in Canada with the BC Lions before transitioning into an acting career. His breakout role came in 1976 when he starred opposite Sylvester Stallone as the iconic antagonist Apollo Creed in Rocky. He went on to reprise his role in the sequels Rocky II, Rocky III, and Rocky IV. At the turn of this decade, he was introduced to both new and old audiences with a major role in the Star Wars spin-off series The Mandalorian. 

"Carl was an exceptional human being who lived an extraordinary life," his family said in a statement after his death, per Deadline. "Through his contributions to film, television, the arts and sports, he has left an indelible mark and is recognized worldwide and across generations."
