When Caitlin Clark joined Travis and Jason Kelce on their popular podcast, New Heights, the conversation turned to an unexpected but relatable debate: lakes or oceans? It’s a debate that often divides opinions, but the trio added their unique twist with Midwestern charm, Jersey pride and a dash of humor.

Jason Kelce kicked things off with a bold claim: “Kylie’s a big-time ocean person, and I’m outnumbered.” Travis, as usual, chimed in to back his brother but couldn’t help teasing about the Jersey Shore: “All the shores over there in Jersey are the same,” he joked, instantly lighting up the banter.

For Caitlin Clark, it’s all about balance. “I love both,” she said, recalling her family vacations to Florida’s beaches. “But growing up in the Midwest, lakes were just what we did. They’re easier, and honestly, I feel safer. I’m not messing with whatever’s in that saltwater!”

Jason, the proud Jersey native, defended the ocean experience but admitted a soft spot for lakes, especially “four-season lakes” that offer activities year-round. “We played hockey growing up on frozen lakes, went snowmobiling, and hiked around them. There’s just something about lakes,” he said, revealing his newly found love for hiking-a hobby that even Travis couldn’t resist poking fun at.

But Caitlin’s Midwest pragmatism hit a chord with Travis. “Saltwater? Nah, I’m with Caitlin on this. Lakes feel safer,” he admitted, sparking a moment of agreement between the three.

While the debate didn’t crown a clear winner, it captured the charm of New Heights: relatable conversations, unexpected laughs, and heartfelt memories. So, are you Team Lake or Team Ocean?
