The Philadelphia Eagles legend's partner addressed her stance on the matter in the debut episode of her "Not Gonna Lie" podcast with Wave Sports + Entertainment on Thursday ... in a segment fittingly titled "F*** Around and Find Out."

While Kelce initially said he was exaggerating a tad when claiming she swears in front of her three girls "daily," she admitted it does happen frequently ... but Wyatt, Elliotte and Bennett know better than to use "grown-up words."

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" OG tells TMZ … she gave her blessing for Nick's podcast team to use the now-viral recording where she forgot to hang up the call after their interview. She tells us Nick's side reached out before making the clip public ... and she played it cool.

We got the "No Jumper" podcast host Tuesday near Van Nuys Airport and our photog asked him about one of the bigger stories of the day ... Trump mulling the possibility of adding podcast bros like the Nelk Boys to his daily press briefings.

Adam22 says the election already showed Trump knows how to use the podcast circuit and the power of the internet to his advantage ... saying the views Trump got on Joe Rogan alone outshine anything Kamala Harris did with traditional news outlets.
