Latest news!
Always sung with a clear voice, this extraordinary combination features regularly on Jason and Travis Kelce’s podcast.
Jason (5’10”, 270 pounds, with an imposing beard and eyebrows) plays for the Philadelphia Eagles and won the 2017 Super Bowl. Travis (1.96 meters, 113 kilos, well-groomed beard and shaved) plays for the Kansas City Chiefs and received his first Super Bowl ring in 2020.
They’ll meet tonight in Glendale, Arizona. The two brothers will face each other for the first time at the Super Bowl, the world’s largest single-day sporting event.
Only one can be the best. But with their podcasts, they’re both already winners. “New Heights” has been at the top of the list of the world’s most-streamed podcasts for months. And that’s what they want to know: New news!
stomach ache
The idea for the podcast came about three years ago when a producer attended a dinner hosted by the Kelce brothers. He left the table with a stomachache from laughing. And in the belief that all of America will be happy to join us at some point.
The first episode aired last September at the start of the NFL season. The strength of the podcast lies in its non-binding character.
Gossip about everything, but only after a thick six-page script. And the greater the success, the greater the number of advertisements. This again.
The basis of success is the brotherly love between the two giants of American football. Fun, sarcastic, thoughtful older brother (Jason, 35) and flamboyant younger brother (Travis, 31).
Gossip goes in all directions. For example, Travis admitted that he was once asked to sign for a baby and refused. Jason, the father of two young children: “I definitely would.” Since then, the eldest brother has been taking dolls from the audience for a scribble every game.
Sometimes they invite their friends to chat with them. No interviews, Travis insists, because “we don’t know how to do it.”
mom donna
Still, the episodes starring Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts (the two quarterbacks facing off on Sunday night) are definitely worth a listen.
Mama Donna was a guest last week. He did not spare his sons. When Jason asks how sorry he is to have Travis and not the girl he wanted, he replied, “But I have a daughter. Look at Travis, he’s my fashionista.
Another joke from the podcast: Travis’ stylish outfits for a game that capitalizes on a trend in American sports.
Jason prefers flip-flops, jeans and a T-shirt. The ultimate working class hero.
It’s not that Jason won’t be afraid to dress up. In Philadelphia – the city of Rocky and the ingrained upbringing of the underdog – no one will forget how he appealed to fans after his first, and for now only, championships.
Posing as an actress, she stood behind the microphone, bowing to Philly’s traditional New Year’s Eve parades. The fans watched with bated breath.
Thanks to the podcast, we know almost everything about the brothers. Growing up in Cleveland Heights, a suburb of Cleveland.
How Jason once fell off the floor of their house, off the chair legs when he was about to pick up Travis (and smashed the evidence by pushing the rug over the hole).
How he took his little brother under his wing at college in Cincinnati as he died of partying and excitement.
“Is your little brother going to ruin it?”
And when Travis was ready to move to the NFL, Jason played a part in the draft. “I got a call from Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid,” Travis told the podcast.
As usual in the NFL draft, Travis sat at home with his family awaiting the eviction call. “Coach Reid said give me your brother.”
“He asked me a question,” Jason added. “Is your little brother going to ruin this chance? I said no sir.”
football dad
Andy Reid can be safely considered the football father of the two Kelce brothers. Jason Kelce also owes his career to the fat coach nicknamed “Big Red”.
Or as he himself puts it: “I’m just a chubby guy from California.”
Reid himself once dreamed of a career in the NFL. It didn’t come to that. There are photos of 12-year-old Reid on the television show Punt, Pass and Kick.
Even then, he stood head and shoulders above his contemporaries.
Reid decided to pursue an early career in coaching, and in 1999 he was given the opportunity to become head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Eagles were not exactly known as powerhouses, but the turning point came under Reid. With surprising and creative play, Philly started to rise.
In 2011 – ironically – he broke the nose of Kansas City’s Jason Kelce in the third round of auditions and brought the men’s golf club to Philadelphia.
Six years later, Jason won the Super Bowl. The Eagles beat Brady’s New England Patriots in a relegated game for the Philly Special that night.
This “cheat game” is definitely worth a visit.
Reid was gone. In 2013, Reid acknowledged the Chiefs’ advances and transformed the club from a gray mouse to the most dominant team in the NFL.
In the past four years, Kansas City has played three Super Bowl games, an almost unprecedented feat despite winning the grand prize only once.
mahomes
The arrival of Travis Kelce in Reid’s freshman year played a role. The choice is even greater for quarterback Mahomes in 2017. The combination of the two made the difference.
On his first day in Kansas City, his heart racing, Mahomes rushed to the TV room where Coach Reid was going to give the team a speech.
He knew he was late and feared the consequences. Travis Kelce came running across the hall. Thank God, thought Mahomes, I am not alone.
No enemies but tough
‘Big Red’ saw this and passed it off with a fatherly joke as only he could. Reid has no enemies. But that doesn’t mean he can’t be tough.
One of his first appearances in Kansas City came at the expense of a young assistant coach named Nick Sirianni.
That Sirianni, once fired by Reid, is now the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.
It should be obvious: There’s going to be a lot of talk about this Super Bowl. Kelce brothers’ latest podcast is coming soon.
