Jason Kelce is sharing what he loves most about being a girl dad.

On the latest episode of Kylie Kelce'sNot Gonna Lie podcast, the retired NFL star, 38, and the podcaster, 34, answered some questions in a special "Ask Me Somethings" segment. Jason, who shares his daughters Finnley, 15 months, Bennett, 3, Elliotte, 5, and Wyatt, 6 with Kylie, responded to a viewer's question asking about the best and hardest part of being a girl dad.

"Best part for me [is it] was only Trav and I growing up, so I've never been around tiny women outside of, like, elementary school. And even then, they had cooties, so I wasn't really talking to them," he joked, giving a special shout-out to his brother Travis Kelce. "So, I just think how adorable they are, how much you get to play with them, how much you get to see them learn and grow."

The doting dad then admitted that he feels like he hasn't reached the hardest stage of being a girl dad yet.

"I haven't experienced that yet. Right now, there's not a lot of negative sides to girls," he said, adding that the hardest part is "down the road."

Kylie chimed in that when her daughters hit puberty, and their household is "all synced up," that will probably be the hardest moment in Jason's girl dad experience.

"The worst case scenario is if we end up like a chain reaction period house, which means that at least one person every week of the month has their period," she said with a laugh. "Oh, god. We're gonna have so much fun."

"Yeah. Teenage years are not gonna be fun for a lot of those reasons," added Jason.

During their conversation, Jason also shared his favorite thing about experiencing the young innocence of his daughters. He explained that his toddler daughter, Bennett, is at a "great stage" where she's old enough to articulate her thoughts, but still young enough that "everything is kind of amazing."

"Every little thing she kinda picks up on, and she's starting to go out of that age a little bit, but that's my favorite stage — when they're really in awe of the world, and they wanna talk about everything," he shared. "And, things that you take for granted on a really regular basis are put more in the forefront of your mind."

"You get to experience the world again through the lens of, like, a tiny human who's just doing it for the first time."

Kylie regularly shares parenting stories, tips, updates and opinions on her podcast as she navigates raising four kids under 6 with Jason.

In the Thursday, June 4 episode of Not Gonna Lie, the podcaster and mom of four answered several viewers' questions, including one where she gave an update on her daughter's progress in pre-school. Kylie took the opportunity to poke fun at her husband and brother-in-law, Travis, 36, who were both kicked out of pre-school.

"I'm two for two. Way to go, Ellie. Ellie made it out of preschool without getting kicked out like her father and her uncle," she said. "I really do think the true test is going to be two years from now when Benny gets to hit that threshold, if she makes it there. And that's the key."

Then, the loving mom revealed that while her eldest daughter, Wyatt, "loved" going to kindergarten, she thinks the experience is going to be "a little eye-opening" for her daughter, Elliotte.

"Wyatt loved kindergarten," Kylie said. "I think Ellie is also going to love kindergarten, but I do think that it is going to be a little eye-opening for her because she is not quite into academics in the same way that Wyatt is."

"Wyatt is into academics because Wyatt has this and this thirst for knowledge that is incredible to watch," she continued. "Ellie is curious, but she doesn't quite feel the need to press as hard as Wyatt does to get information, and that does translate into academics. Ellie wants to go and be social, and I am gonna be shocked if she can sit in her chair for that long."
