Best Tight Ends, Bad Media and Birthdays with Paul Rudd | New Heights w/ Jason & Travis Kelce | EP 5

On episode five of ‘New Heights’, Travis walks us through what went into the Chiefs’ bounce-back win against Tom Brady and the Bucs and who is on his all-time tight end, Mt Rushmore. Jason reveals how the Eagles managed to stay undefeated in a rainy game against the Jags and what happened in his reunion with Doug Pederson. We also figure out if the media is going too far in criticizing Baker Mayfield and try and explain what goes into a modern NFL offense. Finally, Paul Rudd makes a surprise appearance to wish Travis a happy birthday and share memories of Super Bowl LIV.

My brother passed at the beginning of the Eagles super bowl year. When we won it meant the world to me! Thanks Jason!

[@tonyb460]

Wow! That game must have been heartbreaking, yet full of joy at the same time. You KNOW he was right there with you for the whole game!

[@phl_phanatic]

Josh, sorry for your loss. My father passed the day after Christmas that year on the day after they beat the Raiders to clinch home field. Part of our last discussion that Christmas evening was whether or not Foles could take the team deep into the playoffs. Little did we know just how magical that run would turn out. 😇Even though he wasn't there to watch the games with me I definitely felt his presence and hope you felt the same with your brother.

[@Cj-pc4id]

Damn bro, I lost my brother when the bills first made the playoffs and that shit drained me, I feel your pain, and I hope all your wounds heal over time, all love bro

[@cezardallman9888]

Damn man I’m sorry to hear that, growing up a pats fan my dad was a Bucs and he passed away in 2019 the same year Tom had people saying his career was over and the patriots needed to move on. I prayed for the Bucs to somehow win a superbowl in the next few years to make up for all the heartbreaking seasons my dad watched, Tom ended up answering that prayer in March of 2020. God bless football 🙏❤️

[@yadig3503]

Not going to lie I teared up a bit reading these comments…..

[@QuinnForTheWin]

The most organic and interactive part of the interview was Jason and Paul. When Travis camera cut out they carried it. Jason don’t sell yourself short, you gotta a future in sports media for sure after football. That being said, DONT RETIRE until the game says you are done.

[@stpnwlf9]

Absolutely the most authentic NFL podcast on the internet! The Kelce Bros should be invited to guest on the Manningcast -- Brother on Brother comedy!

[@Nqwilliams]

Too bad these teams keep getting all the Monday night games

[@clinthodges5506]

That would be pat mcafee

Paul Rudd was a great first guest. Really brought out the fandom that all of Us have and I loved it when he asked the questions we all want to ask

[@juneholle4859]

I am a Kansas City 62 year mother, wife and grandmother of 6, I look forward to this podcast every week, these brothers are hilarious! KC loves Travis!

[@jaime9425]

not even a eagles or chiefs fan but i do love and always wait for this podcast to drop every wednesday!!

[@laurasalas128]

49ers fan here but ♥️ this podcast!!!!

[@SomeOne-zw6kh]

Same. I'm not a swiftie, but I did learn of the pod via all the media over it recently. I can't place why I enjoy this so much. I don't even know about football. It is really exciting when I learn things on here tho. I obviously don't know them personally, but the personalities they put off on this show are super sweet / supportive / fun and family loving guys. It's really nice to hear.

[@chiefskingdom7107]

Travis, my father recently passed and he was the reason I even became a chiefs fan at a young age. We had planned to make it to the home opener of this years season but unfortunately he passed in March of this year. I still made it to the game with my wife but also bought his seat anyways as an honor of him making it to one last game. It was incredible performance you put on that nice against the chargers and what you’ve put up this season. You were his favorite player on the entire team and he would have loved to have seen what you’ve done this season. Keep up the great work and have a baller season man! Much love from Chiefs kingdom

[@jeanjean7182]

7107 Sorry for your loss.

[@Jayygreeen]

This is my midweek football fix. As an eagles fan I’ve always known Jason Kelce was hilarious and smart, but the brotherly banter these men put together and the absolute dynamite chemistry makes this an absolute HIT. Get you both on Pat McAfee at the SAME DAMN TIME

[@vicvega03]

I absolutely LOVE that Travis added himself on his Mt.Rushmore. Believing in ourselves is HUGE and I love it. ❤

[@KozCollects]

I look forward to this show every week now.

[@mariahmcintyre7536]

Never thought that i would find myself listening to a sports podcast. Don’t get me wrong, i live in Kansas City and i love the Chiefs, but i stumbled across this podcast and was surprised how much i enjoyed it! Love the brother dynamic! Also, as a small business owner here in KC, i think i can speak for the entire small biz community and say thank you to Travis and the Chiefs. You have no idea how many businesses have been able to grow thanks to your success. From t-shirts to jewelry makers like myself, you have had such a positive impact on so many of our businesses, so thank you for that!

[@jenn_81]

I LOVE Paul Rudd!!! What a great episode!!!

[@dennybe]

" Adversity makes us stronger," damn skippy. Sometimes being humbled helps to clarify a current situation and what needs to change to make it better. Owning it, and taking responsibility for it is a credit to you both as men, but also a credit to your parents. Gaining more and more appreciation for you both and relating life lessons that can be gained from sports in general.

[@jaci2bears268]

I just love watching you guys play and hearing you talk uncensored as players and brothers.

[@lille-mary1517]

This right here. To show that you grow in self awareness, stepping away from excuses and going for accountability. And getting that you are priviliged to have the opportunity you have. So refreshing to hear instead of the more entitled sort of narcissitsic fall back to blame pretty much anything and everything outside of yourself. And boy, just look at how important it is to have a version of Jason Kelce in your corner when it can go down real fast. A blessing and something to thank life for. I hope Jason gets that how he stepped up and supported is not something everyone does. And that is something he both should be proud of and get credit for. And just watching Travis face here, you just get that he is not unaware that he owes his big bro alot to help him through a period where it could have turned out differently without that support. I love to see it.

[@craigmiller6937]

Dude, don’t sweat the Paul Rudd segment, it was awesome. I tune in every time for the Kelces anyway, and you’re both spot on 92%, 100% of the time

[@ChillingnThrilling]

Loving the podcast gents. I'm a massive NFL fan from Scotland, and have been for around 38 years. Loving the Kelce brothers working together on here, and as a KC fan, Travis is the GOAT. 🐐 However love Jason as well, and huge respect to both these phenoms of the game. United "Chiefs" Kingdom 🇬🇧

[@Betty-Boop809]

This was a great episode, made even better by Paul Rudd coming on as a guest - that was a fantastic conversation…& Jason, I thought you did great, it all seemed very natural.

[@robtopham6095]

I love the attitude you guys have for both sports and life. As a parent of 2 adult children, I'd love to hear from your mom/dad to hear their stories of you guys growing up and how they raised you. Maybe for an off-season episode? Keep up the great content....Go BIRDS!

[@JBinKC.]

hell yes! Donna Kelce seems like the coolest mom ever. How 'bout those CHIIIIIEEEEFSSS

[@cyanibexe4418]

Can we talk about the fact hearing from an O-lineman is incredible? JK is a beast. Watch the Eagles v Jaguars game again and watch him dominate. Every snap is a different technique for the type of rush. Idk if it was a bull rush but on one ay he literally throws his legs back full tilt and holds the defender in place. He runs to the second level every play and follows the pass rusher around the side when they swim. He is incredibly powerful with legs that'd make Earl Campbell smile. This has opened my eyes to a whole new world of football. I'm not shy about it but I never really paid too much attention to the trenches in my life unless there was a penalty. But now seeing what great leverage and dominance looks like I have a whole new appreciation for the trenches on offense. Oh and this podcast is pretty cool I guess 😀

[@senseisprotege3632]

I think the show is so popular because it’s an unfiltered look into what it’s like to be a hall of fame caliber NFL player. Almost all other sports podcasts are either speculation about an upcoming game or critique of a game just played, by former players or folks who never played. It’s so refreshing 🍻 Travis absolutely diced-up 🔪 one of the best linebacking groups. His footwork is art 🖼 Mahomes throw to his backside while falling protected Travis - what a throw and what a catch. Kelce always finds the open space & tries to help his Mahomie. We’re witnessing Hall of Fame history 🏉 “Shake his hand!” 😂 Paul Rudd rules. I love that super bowl story 🩸. Lifelong KC fan as well. I 😭 when the Chiefs won, lol. That entire playoff run was magical 🪄 🎩 🐇. Happy Birthday Travis 🎁 🎂

[@timothybush8632]

Raider Week, under the lights. Ooh boy.

[@betsyatkinsonkcrealtor3143]

I love this podcast and wait for it to come out every Wednesday. It's funny that Jason was so nervous with Paul Rudd because he didn't seem it AT ALL! It was a great interview that was completely laid back and fun to watch.

[@donaldbergin9937]

You two are amazing and a much needed fresh take on the NFL by two outstanding brothers who definitely provide an inside look at the world of NFL. I laughed so hard at your mom saying Jason is her favorite as Travis has not provided grandchildren yet 😂

The in the trenches breakdown of Jason in a run play by AQ Shipley on the Pat Mcafee show was unreal. Jason blocking lineman and then moving on to block a linebacker to open a HUGE GAPPING HOLE was impressive.

That feeling he's talking about with it being a surreal moment is true! Between the chiefs winning the superbowl and the royals winning the world series shit make you cry because we waited soooo long for this time!

Travis thanks for sharing your story - I value how leaders see things in us we never saw before- that person seeing in you that you’d be a better tight end than quarterback set a trajectory for your success - such empowerment when leaders speak the gifts they see in others so others benefit from your true gifts Travis coming out !

I just happened across your show when checking out some of the recap and glowing commentary circling the internet following the Chiefs impressive win over the Bucks. So fun watching and listening to the talented Kelce bros talk shop and share personal stories. You both have a way of speaking that breaks down barriers and makes your listeners feel like they are part of your family. Very relatable, informative and entertaining! Go Chiefs!
