"Like it is getting introduced to so many people," McAfee continued. "You are, and have been, the perfect representation for our sport too, I think, personally, genuinely. I think that.

Travis was quick to point out that his reputation for being a good influence could change if the Kansas City Chiefs started losing.

"If we lose a game, I mean it's f---ing gonna rain down, baby. Just gotta keep winning, staying on top," he said, laughing.

"You know, but also smiling at the Guardians games," McAfee shot back, referencing the recent New York Yankees playoff game where Travis—accompanied by Taylor—cheered for the opposing team, the Cleveland Guardians.

"I was laughing around a little bit...it was a hostile environment," Travis jokingly admitted.
