The whole world knows by now that Philadelphia's most beloved man Jason Kelce is retiring after 13 seasons suiting up for the Eagles. 

Jason discussed retirement with his brother on the latest "New Heights" podcast episode.

It was an emotional one, to say the least, as Travis tried to hold back tears while he shared his reaction to his brother's official announcement

And at the very end of the episode, Travis played a special tribute video that featured Nick Foles, Jalen Hurts, the Manning Brothers, Charles Barkley, Papa and Mama Kelce, wishing Jason all the best on his next adventure. 

The video kicks off with Nick Foles saying, "I'm so proud of you. Such an honor being your teammate. I'm so excited about what's next for you."

Then former Eagles nose tackle pops in to say, "Oh my god you finally did it." 

Eagles' Jordan Mailata adds, "Thank you for being the greatest teammate that I've ever played with."

Retired Eagles defensive end Chris Long chimes in next to reveal that although Kelce was younger than him, he looked up to him. 

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts said three words come to his head when he thinks about Kelce: "Passion, legacy and underdog."

Former NFL players Alejandro Villanueva and JJ Watt pop in to congratulate Kelce, while the Manning brothers tell him not to take their job. 

Ex-Patriots legend Julian Edelman tells Kelce, "From one girl dad to another, I'm super excited to watch your next chapter. 2017 still haunts me. 

76ers' Joel Embiid tells Kelce it's been a "blessing" watching him. 

Kelce can't believe it when former MLB All-Star Jim Thome chimes in to congratulate him. 

NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal tells Kelce it's his turn to take out the trash and do the dishes. 

Barkley tells him he admires his personality and thanks him for the Super Bowl. 

Rich Eisen admits that he doesn't believe there's anyone out there who will be the next Jason Kelce. 

The video wraps up with Papa Kelce saying, "Jason, congratulations on an outstanding career, kudos dude — and go Birds!"
