While the formerPhiladelphia Eaglesplayer’s opinion of the series has shifted over time,Lautnerhimself is a big fan of Jason. Talking withPEOPLE as one of 2024’s Creators of the Yearalongside his wife Tay Lautner, who he co-hostsThe Squeeze podcast with, the actor said he would love to team up with the Kelce brothers for a podcast collaboration.

“Definitely wouldn’t say no to,” he told PEOPLE. “I remember when they started doing it and it just felt like something that sports fans maybe watch and I’m one of them,” Taylor said at the time. “I’m a diehard NFL football fan, so I would watch clips and episodes of theirs.”

Tay also added that “[Jason and Travis] really figured out a way to bring everyone into it.”
