Travis Kelce's and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast brought on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator Rob McElhenney in this week’s episode as part of a fundraiser, and the results were incredible.
McElhenney’s appearance on the show coincided with him bidding on a vintage Eagles letterman jacket that was worn and signed by Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie, to raise money for the Eagles Autism Foundation. McElhenney’s bid was a cool $62,000, a bid he says he made in honor of Jason Kelce’s jersey number.

But things really took a turn when McElhenney found out he was being outbid… by his own wife, and fellow It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star, Kaitlin Olson. Olson then appeared alongside her husband on the podcast in an awesome moment, as the two joked about bidding against one another for the jacket.
“We live in the same house. This is a foundation that’s important to both of us. The jacket looks great on your wife… and he mentions nothing about it?” Olson joked.

In all, it’s a pretty great way to raise money for a worthy cause, and bringing together some Philadelphia icons in the process certainly doesn’t hurt.
The secret is out…????@RMcElhenney and @KaitlinOlson we are so beyond grateful for your support and as always, GO BIRDS! https://t.co/Z3YKsdBsJL
