Kelce said his view on watching himself play football is "the same" as he told Niecy Nash-Betts, "I just always have this mentality of wanting to do things better"
Travis Kelce is still adjusting to seeing himself on TV anywhere outside the football field.
On the Oct. 30 episode of his and Jason Kelce's podcast, New Heights, Travis, 35, opened up about what it's been like watching himself back both on Grotesquerie and as the host of Are Yo u Smarter Than a Celebrity? during a conversation with guest Niecy Nash-Betts.
"I just wanna say, I thought you did such a good job," Nash-Betts, 54, told her costar, who responded, "I appreciate that, Niecy."
"I hope you're not one of those people who are afraid to watch yourself, because I want you to be proud of yourself. I really do," she said, doubling down and prompting Travis to reveal whether he's been watching Grotesquerie.
"I was definitely watching myself, but it's the same thing with, like, my view on football or really anything that I do. Even like the game show that I did on Amazon [Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?], I look at myself, and I'm like, 'Man, I could've did that better, I could've did this better, I could've did this better.'"

Travis Kelce, Raven Goodwin in 'Grotesquerie'Travis continued, "I just always have this mentality of, like, wanting to do things better than what I did on camera or what I've done in the past."
Nash-Betts reassured him, "That's how you grow. We all do that. We all look at it and say, 'Oh, I should've made a different choice.' So then the next time you get on camera, you're gonna remember that."
During her appearance on the podcast, Nash-Betts also called out Travis, who had accidentally been ghosting her over text.
"Travis, I'm so glad that you texted me and told me you had a new phone number because I've been texting your number, just gassing you up, telling you you did so good," she revealed.
"I was asking you like, 'What did your teammates … what'd your people say [about Grotesquerie]? How you feeling about it? Did you watch it?' And you know what I got? Crickets."
"You know me better than that," Travis said as he explained that he got a new phone number because "it was getting crazy."
"I was finally in a show with someone as amazing as you. I had everybody hitting me up, blowing me up," Travis said. "I had to switch it up on them."
