Overview

• On Sept. 22, Sanders told Jason and Travis Kelce that his birth certificate reads D-I-O-N, though he has long written D-E-I-O-N.
• He said he added the E after a schoolyard riff on the nursery rhyme Old MacDonald, prompting the hosts to chime in with “E-I-E-I-O.”
• Sanders and the Kelces laughed as Jason noted how rare it is to change a name spelling and have everyone accept it.
• There is no reporting of any legal or administrative change to his official name following the disclosure.
• People, OutKick, and ClutchPoints published accounts of the podcast moment on Sept. 24–25, with People noting a University of Colorado doctor previously said Sanders was cured of bladder cancer.
