In a highly anticipated episode of the podcast “New Heights,” NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelsey welcomed actor and comedian Ben Stiller as a special guest. The episode, set to air on Wednesday, features a unique blend of sports and entertainment, showcasing the trio’s camaraderie and playful banter.
The Kelsey brothers, known for their engaging discussions, took a lighthearted approach during the episode, which included a “waffle party” reminiscent of earlier segments from their show. The conversation took an intriguing turn when they shared their mutual admiration for Taylor Swift, with Travis revealing how his appreciation for the pop icon has grown significantly. He expressed his newfound status as a “total Swifty” after delving into Swift’s discography, particularly her albums “folklore” and “evermore,” which explore intricate narratives of love from various perspectives.
The episode’s teaser clip captured Stiller’s enthusiasm for the New York Knicks and included queries about the possibility of him reprising his role from “Tropic Thunder.” The Kelsey brothers shared a candid photograph of their time together, playfully captioning it “iconic movie villain iconic New Heights guest.” This image sparked a flurry of reactions from fans, many of whom noted the noticeable height difference between the 5’7″ Stiller and the towering Kelsey brothers, with Travis standing at 6’4″ and Jason at 6’3″. Social media users humorously commented on Stiller’s stature in comparison to the NFL stars, with one fan quipping, “Sorry Ben, but you look tiny.”
As Travis Kelsey enjoys his NFL offseason, the podcast is leaning into celebrity guests, generating excitement among listeners. Fans are eagerly awaiting the potential appearance of Taylor Swift on the show, particularly following the recent buzz surrounding her relationship with Travis. The popular Kansas City Chiefs fan account, Barbecue Chiefs, humorously inquired via social media about when the Taylor Swift episode would drop, highlighting the public’s intrigue.
The offseason has brought its own set of challenges for Travis, especially after the Chiefs fell to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl. Facing uncertainty about his future in the sport, Kelsey ultimately decided to return for at least one more season with Kansas City. In a recent episode, he reflected on his passion for football, stating, “I still feel like I can play it at a high level and possibly at a higher level than I did last year.” He acknowledged that he did not perform to his usual standards during the Super Bowl and expressed a desire to improve.
As the Kelsey brothers continue to merge sports with entertainment, their podcast remains a platform for insightful discussions and lighthearted moments, drawing in fans from both realms. With the addition of Ben Stiller and the anticipation of future celebrity guests, “New Heights” is proving to be a must-listen this offseason.
