You ever get stuck in the same routine, same breakfast, same drive, same playlist on repeat?

**SPEAKER_1** (0:20)
Yeah, we've all been there, and sometimes all you need is a little fresh to switch it up.

**Travis Kelce** (0:23)
That's right. That's where Mentos comes in. Mentos Chewy Mints help refresh your routine by giving you inspiration to switch up your day. Do you remember those Freshmaker commercials, Jason?

**Jason Kelce** (0:36)
We were just humming them, Travis. Of course I remember them.

**Travis Kelce** (0:39)
Of course we remember those Freshmaker commercials. It's one of the best jingles of all time.

**Jason Kelce** (0:45)
Well, if you're looking to add a little fun, a little flavor and a whole lot of chew, they've got classic mint or fruity flavors, including the Discovery Roll with 14 unique flavors.

**Travis Kelce** (0:56)
Whether you're grinding through the day, stuck in traffic, or just need a moment to reset.

**Jason Kelce** (1:01)
The fruity ones are good. I will say.

**Travis Kelce** (1:03)
Oh my gosh. They're the best. I love the fruity ones.

**Jason Kelce** (1:06)
Refresh the everyday with Mentos Chewy Mints.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:08)
Say yes to fresh. Yes.

**Jason Kelce** (1:10)
Or get the fruity ones and say yes to fruit.

**Travis Kelce** (1:13)
Well, let's talk a little bit about the origin story of your football fandom.
Our dad was Cleveland Brown fan growing up. Like we grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and he, I don't want to say he forced us, but he integrated us into being fans of that team. Did your dad get you into Aston Villa or is this your own doing?

**Prince William** (1:35)
Absolutely not. My father hates football.

**Travis Kelce** (1:39)
Oh, no.
Thanks to our presenting sponsor, Xfinity. Welcome back to New Heights, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. A Wondery Show. We are your hosts. I'm Travis Kelce. This is my big brother, Jason Kelce. And boy, do we have a good one for you again. This is a unique one that we've been pretty excited about to maybe get in the books for you guys. And what a more perfect time than to talk about a little World Cup action with somebody who's a little bit more familiar with the football version of soccer.

**Jason Kelce** (2:15)
Yeah, we're not going to waste any time. There's no new news. There's no other segments. This one came out of nowhere. Still don't really know how the fuck we're doing this. But ladies and gentlemen, without further adieu, our guest today is Prince William of Wales.
Here you go. All right, Trav, it's the World Cup and we haven't had any soccer fans on yet.

**Travis Kelce** (2:37)
I know, man. Do we know any soccer fans?

**Jason Kelce** (2:39)
Well, maybe our guest today, the six foot three Prince of London, England, maybe?

**SPEAKER_1** (2:45)
That's right. The President of the English Football Association, the Vice Royal Patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Cornwall, the Lord of the Isles, Prince of Great Stuart of Scotland, Earl of Chester and the Prince of Wales. 90% is please welcome his Royal Highness, Prince William.

**Prince William** (3:10)
That is quite an intro, guys. Amazing.

**Jason Kelce** (3:13)
We had to do a big for you, had to do a big.

**Travis Kelce** (3:15)
Prince William, I got the chance to see you not too long ago and invited you on the show because we were talking to little Aston Villa soccer, some excitement about the World Cup. How are we feeling about England's win over Croatia yesterday or a couple of days ago?

**Prince William** (3:29)
Very good, Travis. I'm so pleased it's gotten away. I've been looking forward to the World Cup for ages. It feels like a long time between the years it comes around again, but it's so good it's back on again.

**Jason Kelce** (3:38)
So obviously we were very much knowledgeable in the world of American football. You know your soccer, you've been around the game for a long time. You've been 20 years, I think, the head of the?

**Prince William** (3:47)
FA, the Football Association, yeah.

**Jason Kelce** (3:50)
What is it about this team that makes you extra confident? You know, I think there's a, it seems like a good blend of experience and youth and all that.
Where do you sit with the team?

**Prince William** (4:00)
So first of all, Jason, I have to correct you. It's football.

**Travis Kelce** (4:04)
So I say fair, fair, fair.
