The two football pros began the latest episode of their fan-favorite sports pod on Wednesday, Jan. 31, as usual, with Jason giving listeners a run-down on what to expect. But as they got into the “New” News segment, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed that New Heights has reached over two million subscribers on YouTube.
Not only that, but the pod is back to being the “number one podcast across all categories in both the U.S. and in Canada,” has been ranked Apple Podcasts’ “number one in the charts” across all categories, and even secured the spot of number one sports podcasts in several countries, including Australia, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines and the Dominican Republic.
While the 34-year-old NFL star said having his podcast be internationally ranked as the number one sports podcast was “mind-blowing,” his older brother thinks he figured out why.
“This has got to be like Swifties, right?” Jason, 36, joked.
“Can’t be,” Travis replied.
But the Philadelphia Eagles center wasn’t so sure. “They’re not listening to this podcast for football stuff, right?”
“Yeah, that’s crazy. Thank you to all the 92 percenters outside of the continental U.S.,” Travis added. “How about that?”
While the two may be shocked by the growth and popularity of New Heights, Jason’s wife Kylie probably isn’t, as she recently offered her opinion on the subject and called the Kelce brothers’ way of “ratting on themselves every week” nothing less than “entertaining.”
