New Heights, indeed.
The podcast hosted by the Kelce brothers, Travis of the Kansas City Chiefs and Jason, the newly-retired former center for the Philadelphia Eagles, won the Podcast of the Year Award at the iHeart Radio Podcast Awards event Monday in Austin, Texas, held during SXSW.
During the NFL season, "New Heights" became a popular show, in which Travis and Jason recapped their games from the previous week and talked about the league in general, mixing in humor with their insight. It also became a destination for Swifties, fans of music icon Taylor Swift, who is dating Travis Kelce.
"We won podcast of the year!," Jason said in a video statement shown Monday during the awards ceremony, to which Travis responded: "Get the (expletive) out of here, we won podcast of the year?"
In the message, Jason and Travis thanked their fans, listeners and production team for the success of the podcast.

"Listen, this is an incredible honor," Jason Kelce added. "Especially for two jabronis like us. To receive an award like this is beyond humbling. And we would be remiss if we didn't immediately thank all of the 92%ers out there, A.K.A. Swifties, who voted for us to win this award. ...
"We absolutely love making this podcast each and every week and it is beyond rewarding when we get to find out that it resonates with so many people out there and that they get joy out of it because we sure put a lot of that into it."
Jason, 36, announced his retirement March 4 from the NFL after 13 seasons, all with the Eagles. A seven-time Pro Bowler and six-time first-team All-Pro selection, Jason Kelce was a mainstay and fan favorite for the Eagles and an integral part of the franchise's 2017 team that won Super Bowl 52, the first in Eagles history.
Travis, 34, is a nine-time Pro Bowler and four-time first-team All-Pro whose 11 seasons have all been with the Chiefs. He was, once again, a massive piece of Kansas City's offense, a team that has won three Super Bowls in the last five seasons and two in a row.
"You guys make this show what it is," Travis Kelce said. "We truly appreciate you guys."
