Kansas City Radio Host Has Issue With Patrick Mahomes' Body
Kansas City Radio Host Has Issue With Patrick Mahomes' Body originally appeared on The Spun. Patrick Mahomes has embraced his "dad bod" while achieving unparalleled success for the Kansas City Chiefs. A local radio host nevertheless threw a temper tantrum over the star quarterback's physique. Advertisement Photos surfaced of a shirtless Mahomes celebrating the Fourth of July with family and friends. His body wasn't chiseled enough for Kevin Kietzman, who ranted about the three-time Super Bowl champion. "Vacation photos are popping up of Patrick Mahomes, and he's fat," Kietzman said on Kevin Kietzman Has Issues. "I'm gonna say it, and I'm gonna tell you the truth. He's an embarrassment." Surely, some guy with a radio show knows more about physical training than an NFL superstar and his team. "You're a $500 million quarterback," Kietzman continued. "You've made all these comments in the offseason that, 'We're gonna do our talking on the field, we got our butts kicked in the Super Bowl, we're coming back with a vengeance'... Dude, you're fat. Your belly would be fat at my pool, hanging out with us 60-year-olds. Stop. Stop the fast food. Do a sit-up. Do something." Advertisement Well, Kietzman tried warning everyone about him with his show's title. NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - FEBRUARY 09: Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs reacts in the fourth quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles during Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome on February 09, 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Photo by)It should go without saying, but Mahomes is obviously in better shape than the overwhelming majority of said 60-year-olds complaining because he doesn't have six-pack abs. Mahomes may not be as diligent about his body as Tom Brady, and perhaps the 29-year-old could cut down on the Coors Light. However, the two-time MVP hasn't missed a game due to injury -- despite spraining his ankle last year -- in the last four seasons. In fact, Mahomes has often credited his "dad bod" for helping him absorb hits and stay healthy through a grueling NFL season. Advertisement Don't count on the Chiefs following in the Dallas Mavericks' footsteps and trading their superstar player because of his physique. Mahomes will continue to bolster his legacy as a future Hall of Famer while loudmouths like Kietzman yell nonsense for attention.

Kansas City radio host sparks fury after ripping 'fat' Patrick Mahomes over 'dad bod': 'Stop the fast food'
A divisive Kansas City radio host has angered fans online after labeling Patrick Mahomes 'fat' and an 'embarrassment' in a nasty rant about the Chiefs quarterback. Mahomes toasted the Fourth of July in style as he partied with longtime wife Brittany and a group of their close friends on a luxury yacht over the weekend. In photos shared by Brittany and other members of the party, the three-time Super Bowl winner showed off his 'dad bod' after going shirtless while wearing blue trunks. On their run to Super Bowl glory last year, Mahomes went viral for his chunky physique while celebrating a win in the Chiefs locker room, with the man himself even seeing the funny side of the attention it garnered at the time. Yet one person who doesn't find humor in his self-proclaimed 'dad bod' is local radio host Kevin Kietzman. In a vicious attack on the Kansas City hero, Kietzman ripped into Mahomes on the latest episode of his podcast 'Kevin Kietzman Has Issues' and urged him to 'stop the fast food' - an assessment which has sparked fury online. 'Vacation photos are popping up of Patrick Mahomes, and he's fat. I'm gonna say it, and I'm gonna tell you the truth, he's an embarrassment,' the controversial personality said. 'You're a $500m quarterback, you've made all these comments in the offseason that "we're gonna do our talking on the field, we got our butts kicked in the Super Bowl, we're coming back with a vengeance"... Dude, you're fat. Your belly would be fat at my pool, hanging out with us, 60 year olds. 'Stop. Stop the fast food. Do a sit-up. Do something.' Kietzman then continued: 'Yeah, I'm sure he's worked out and he's strengthened his arm and he's done all kind of different things, quarterback things... but there's no training to this man. I don't understand it. 'He's not a kid anymore, you can't just run through your NFL career eating Taco Bell all the time and Door Dashing fried chicken, which he loves. It's time dude. It's time. 'I only do this as a precaution because I love the guy. He's an enormous talent. But I cannot stand it when I see somebody just sit back on their talent and not be the best that they are.' Kietzman - who was infamously taken off the air and fired by Kansas City radio station WHB in 2019 for linking Chiefs head coach Andy Reid's fallout with ex-player Tyreek Hill to his late son's drug overdose - was slammed by fans on social media for his spiteful comments about Mahomes. 'He's a f***ing idiot,' one user said about the radio host. 'This was seriously funny. Now NFL players have to look a certain way,' wrote another. 'Their on field performance and accolades are not as important as how good they look with their shirts off.' 'Bro hes the best qb in the league lol he can do what he wants to. Bro makes the afc champ game every year and he's complaining about how he looks,' argued a third. A fourth commented: Same piece of s*** he's always been. Just talks to get attention.'

Scientists reveal the ‘perfect' male body type
It's a great day for those with a 'dad bod,' because according to a new study, it's the body type women find most attractive. Forget chiselled abs and ultra-lean physiques, researchers have found that 'dad bods,' with their softer edges and a bit of extra padding, are actually the gold standard for male attractiveness. The study, published by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Personality and Individual Differences, even put forward theories as to why people with this kind of physique are the most appealing. The study methodology The study involved 283 participants from China, Lithuania, and the UK. Each person was shown 15 black-and-white photos of men with different body mass indexes (BMIs). BMI is a calculation that uses height and weight to determine whether someone is underweight, of a healthy weight, overweight, or obese. The photos included men with BMIs ranging from 20.1 to 33.7. Faces were blurred to focus solely on body shape, and participants were asked to rank the images from least to most attractive. The results showed that the most appealing male bodies had a BMI between 23 and 27. Specifically, peak attractiveness was linked to a BMI of 23.4 in China, 23.0 in Lithuania, and 26.6 in the UK. For context, in Australia, a 'healthy' BMI for adults generally falls between 18.5 and 24.9, with those between 25 and 29.9 considered 'overweight'. Therefore, the most attractive bodies weren't those who were skinny or very lean, but rather those with a few extra kilos. What this means Although the physical findings are interesting, the researchers were more intrigued by the 'why' behind the results. 'Body fat (adiposity) may be important because it is linked closely (inversely) to circulating testosterone levels and is therefore a better indicator of mate 'quality',' the researchers said. Basically, a mid-range BMI aligns with optimal survival and reproductive fitness. 'The most attractive BMI in males was close to the predicted level maximising survival,' the study explained. So, if you've been skipping the gym for the occasional pint and schnitty, science suggests you might be onto something. But for women, the same can't be said. The researchers found in earlier work that males who judge females believe that being thinner than the 'evolutionary optimal' is more attractive. So while women might pick a partner based on their evolutionary advantages, men mainly just care about how their partner's look.

Scientists reveal what the perfect man's body looks like - and it's good news for men with dad bods
It's a question that has puzzled men around the world for centuries. What do women really want? Now, scientists may have finally found the answer - at least in terms of male physique. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have uncovered the body type that women find most attractive. And their findings will come as good news for men with 'dad bods'. According to the research, the most attractive body mass index (BMI) for men is between 23 and 27. At the higher end, that's actually classed as 'overweight' by the NHS. 'Body fat (adiposity) may be important because it is linked closely (inversely) to circulating testosterone levels and is therefore a better indicator of mate "quality",' the researchers wrote. Ideas about the 'perfect' female body have changed hugely through the years. For example, in the 1950s, weight gain tablets hit the shelves as women aspired to look like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor, while the 90s saw ladies lusting after a thin, androgynous look dubbed 'heroin chic'. However, until now, there have been few studies focusing on the perfect male body. 'Less attention has been paid to the key features driving physical attractiveness of males,' the researchers, led by Fan Xia, wrote in their study, published in Personality and Individual Differences. To get to the bottom of it, the researchers enlisted 283 participants from three countries - China, Lithuania, and the UK. The participants were shown 15 black-and-white images of men ranging in size from BMI 20.1 to 33.7, whose faces had been blurred. The participants were asked to rank the images on a scale from one (least attractive) to nine (most attractive). The results revealed that peak attractiveness corresponded to a BMI of 23.4 in China, 23.0 in Lithuania and 26.6 in the UK. For reference, the NHS classes a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 as 'healthy', while a BMI of 25 to 29.9 puts you in the 'overweight' category. 'We did not find any large cultural differences in the preferred adiposity, despite the fact there are large differences in the baseline obesity levels in the countries we included and hence big differences in the exposure to individuals with higher body weights,' the team explained. You might think that men would lust after a more trim physique. However, the results showed that both male and female participants preferred bodies with a BMI of between 23 and 27. 'This is probably because it is evolutionarily advantageous for males and females to perceive attractiveness in their own populations in the same way, and most studies including ours indicate this is the case,' the team added. The findings will come as good news for men carrying a few extra pounds. However, the same can't be said for women - as previous studies have shown that men prefer ladies with slimmer physiques. 'Females appear sensitive to adiposity in a manner consistent with evolutionary expectations,' the researchers concluded. 'In contrast earlier work shows males judge females who are thinner than the evolutionary optimal as more attractive.' HOW HAVE IDEAS ABOUT THE 'PERFECT' FEMALE BODY CHANGED? Perceptions of the ideal female body can be linked to representations of women in media, whether found in pop culture, fashion or even politics. These images of feminine attractiveness have changed significantly over the years. 1910 The Gibson Girl - An image produced by American graphic artist Charles Dana Gibson depicted the ideal female figure as tall and regal with an S-curve torso shape 1920 The Flapper - Cultural change sparked by the suffragette movement gave birth to short hair, knee length dresses and a more rambunctious, yet petite, view of female beauty 1950 The Hourglass - Voluptuous curves became important following the end of WWII, which also saw the creation of one of the most influential female bodies, Barbie 1960 The Twig - British cultural icon and model Twiggy brought forward an androgynous look in female ideals where small breasts and thinness were key
