Hosting SNL, Drunken Parades and Meeting Spielberg | New Heights | Ep 29

92%ers we are back with the twenty-ninth episode of New Heights presented by our friends at @FireballWhiskyOfficial and we have a lot to catch you guys up on.
On this episode we jump right into the biggest ‘New News,’ we’ve got a New Niece and why Jason doesn’t think he’ll win father of the year anytime soon. We also look at some Calvin and Hobbes-inspired fan art, and crown the Quip Podcast MVP. Do we mostly just play around with an overpowered water flosser? Yes. But a trophy does change hands at some point.
Next, we break down the incredible post-Super Bowl run that Travis has been on. From dodging projectile beer cans at the Chiefs victory parade, singing with Jimmy Fallon, and going live from Studio 8H to host Saturday Night Live.
Travis answers all the big questions about hosting SNL. What is the week like, who was the unsung hero of the week, what was his favorite sketch, and most importantly, what time did he get home from the SNL afterparty?
Finally, Jason fills us in on what he was up to at the combine, what big-name guests he grabbed time with, and gives us a preview of our incredible interview with Howie Roseman that we will be dropping soon.
As always, watch and listen to new episodes of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce every Wednesday & check us out on Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok for all the best moments from the show.

Jason is actually a really good podcast host. It wasn't a pity vote.

[@alaskau9175]

I think it was a pity vote, but that's okay because he's actually the better host and earned it. Jason is the engine to this podcast.

[@ogkennyp2393]

​@Alaska U lol then how is it a pity vote? U literally just contradicted yourself

[@chasefoster9651]

Chiefs fan here. I love my man Travis but Jason's got a gift

[@alaskau9175]

@@ogkennyp2393 People were compelled to vote out of pity, but he's the better host in my opinion so I'm glad he won it. No contradiction, but I could have spelled out what I meant more clearly.

[@PoopVintner]

I also voted for Jason. He definitely is a very nice grounding force for the podcast. The high energy Travis brings is essential, I just thought Jason is pretty great at podcasting and is honestly pretty naturally funny as well as kind of bringing an almost “professional” (for lack of a better word) presence to the show, so he got my vote this time

I really appreciate how thorough Jason was when he was asking Travis about the SNL experience.

[@reedsawyer5704]

Jason is the world's best big brother. Without him, Travis wouldn't have been able to get back on the Bearcats team. He lobbied for Travis to get back on the team, and guaranteed his good behavior, and then brought him into his room, and kept him out of trouble.

[@ManiacClear]

Same with the Andy Reid draft story. The seal of approval from Jason was all big red needed to hear to believe it

[@reedsawyer5704]

@@ManiacClear I don't know if Andy Reid is the best coach in history, but he's definitely the most fun to watch. Great coach, and he really cares about his players. Jason is also a "high integrity" guy, and if Jason vouches for him, that's enough. Bravo, Kelce brothers.

[@detroit2661]

Jason’s wheezing is the best thing

[@henizn91]

I love them both, and as a chiefs fan - I feel like I can say this. Jason directs this, and Travis just shows up and is his goofy self. It’s the difference between O Line and TE, and big brother and Younger. Always fun to watch!!

[@reedsawyer5704]

I once read about the difference between O Line guys, and D line guys. O Line guys are neat, orderly, and always fold their socks in the locker room. D Line guys are wild, crazy, and get in trouble. Probably not always true, but a good rule of thumb.

[@randomsketchystuff5572]

​@@reedsawyer5704 o line is the backbone of the offense and are as you said more orderly, d line are rebels and wild and always jus wanna do their own thing. The mentality of the positions are like polar opposites lolol

[@reedsawyer5704]

Jason has the world's most infectious laugh. Travis was fantastic on SNL. I think that he could be an action star, once his football career is over. (Have you considered doing voiceovers? You have a great voice for voiceovers.) Jason is a great podcast host.

[@charissaberlew5084]

"Let's go meet Bennett" best closing!!! And the Italian accent was priceless! Love you guys!

Okay stick with me here . American girl doll skit instead of the other guy at the other table , it's Jason , Travis turns the girls head and ask for his autograph, Jason gets up and signs the baby face 😂

[@tonihagan6330]

Funeral skit was my favorite. That was way out there😂😂🤣 But seriously, Travis, you carried that. "Boolin" and "It hit different in the nightgown" was howling funny. I about died during the dancing part and that line about spending every cent she had with such indignation was hilarious! 😂😂😂

Love this podcast and learning about all the behind the scenes things we would never have known any other way. And just to be clear, "NFL Gives Back" was by far the best skit of the entire Kelce experience. Creed killed it but the wink by Travis at the end was epic! Too bad it was cut.

[@kb8891]

OMG the accents are hysterical!! The only ads I don’t fast forward through and actually watch!! LMAO. Love you guys! Go Chiefs!

[@Newheights1509]

So happy you guys are back! ❤️ Tuned into SNL and it did not disappoint, the American girl doll skit was hilarious! Congratulations Travis, from start to finish it was right on point 🎉. Adding Jason into the fun was epic. Bet it all felt like a dream! The Rugrats was easily one of the best cartoons for us 90s kids..good call out. Also, the story of freelancing the quote in class was hilarious, picturing your friend in the back of the classroom like wtf?! You could actually feel how awkward that was and it made me absolutely lose it! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for making my evening, as always you two killed it! Sending love from Ohio! 👏👏

I grew up an orphan, got lucky and was adopted and ultimately an only child. I was spoiled etc but I understand what Travis is doing with Jason by never putting his big bro down. He compliments everything his brother says. The respect they show and have is such a wholesome sight! I am a Raider fan and I cheer for both thier teams because I am a Raider fan, because of the extraordinary relationship these two display and provide for the world to see. This was something that was deminishing and becoming less and less frequent. Cheers to the Kelce clan for all the hard work and sacrifice to really help save America! Thank you so much Kelce Family!!!

[@teresamaze55]

Love the Kelsy bros! Still laughing thinking about SNL. Both ya all are naturals! "NFL Gives Back" hilarious!

[@malcolmrjmcleod]

Peyton's advice for Travis about SNL was spot on. Travis's episode was easily one of the best of the season and I think it had everything to do with the fact that he was so game for everything. Travis's episode, Pedro Pascal's episode, and Audrey Plaza's episodes were probably the three best of the season so far because all three hosts seemed game to do whatever whenever. Great job! I hope Travis gets to host SNL again in the future or maybe Jason can host someday too.
