Since the launch of their hit podcast, ‘New Heights’, Jason and Travis Kelce have turned their sibling rivalry into a global phenomenon. Many stars the size of LeBron James, Caitlin Clark and even Matt Damon or Taylor Swift, are some of the prime guests the Kelce brothers have had on the podcast and the reason behind why it has gotten that famous so far, without undervaluing their work behind-scenes.
But today Wednesday, January 21, 2026, the duo shared an update that has fans buzzing again, bringing a familiar face that will change the broadcasting landscape as we know it: Greg Olsen.
The announcement, delivered with the brothers’ signature blend of humor and their known brotherhood energy, sheds light on the evolving world of NFL media and what it means for the future of the Kelce empire.
“The best tight end on this podcast right now.”
The heart of the latest New Heights buzz centers on the brothers’ reaction to Greg Olsen’s future. Olsen, the former star tight end who became an Emmy-winning broadcaster for FOX, has been at the center of rumors ever since Tom Brady stepped into the lead analyst scene.
Travis and Jason took a moment to address Olsen’s standing in the industry, offering a respectful look at a peer. Jason Kelce, with his characteristic humor, presented Olsen as the “best tight end on this podcast right now”, generating the laughs of a Travis Kelce enjoying his time in the background.
Jason, who has been exploring his own post-retirement media path with ESPN, praised Olsen for his unmatched preparation and the standard he set for retired players entering the booth.
“Greg is the gold standard right now
The bond between Travis and Greg
Travis, who has also been linked to a broadcasting career if he decides to retire during the offseason, declared his desire to enter the industry once he is done with the Chiefs. “I want to broadcast when I’m done playing,” he said in 2024, according to ‘AthlonSports‘.
Greg and Travis have been close friends for a long time. Not only Olsens’ presence in the podcast is significative, they actually co-founded Tight End University together in 2021, alongside George Kittle, the San Francisco 49ers star. As their website states, ” The TEU was created to bring the Tight End community together for an immersive three-day program.”
Tomorrow, the ‘New Hights’ podcast will make history once again.
