In a recent episode of the “New Heights” podcast, comedian Conan O’Brien brought a light-hearted moment to the show while exchanging banter with NFL star brothers Jason and Travis Kelce. The episode, aired on March 11, showcased the delightful interplay between O’Brien, Jason Kelce, and his brother Travis as they recorded from different locations.

During the session, it became apparent that there was playful chaos happening off-screen, as the sounds of children echoed in the background. O’Brien was quick to notice the commotion, leading to a humorous exchange regarding the Kelce household’s younger members, as Jason Kelce explained that his four daughters were indeed playing downstairs.
Jason Kelce, 38, a retired centre for the Philadelphia Eagles, shares his home with wife Kylie Kelce and their daughters, aged six, five, three, and the youngest, a mere eleven months. While the exact activities of the children remained vague during the recording, the laughter ensued when O’Brien jokingly offered his services to impose some discipline if needed.
“I can totally scream at them for you,” O’Brien quipped, eliciting hearty laughter from Travis, who found the suggestion wildly entertaining. Jason, momentarily caught off guard, turned to Kylie to gauge her reaction. “Ky, which one’s making noise?” he inquired, referencing O’Brien’s offer to intervene.
However, Kylie Kelce, 33, swiftly quashed any notion of external discipline, leaving Jason to respond to O’Brien with a humorous, “I’m getting a no from my wife.” This prompted O’Brien to respect Kylie’s decision, playfully remarking, “That’s okay, it’s for the best because your children would be scarred for life. They’d say, ‘Why did that orange-haired woman yell at us?’ and, ‘That lady was so mean.'”
This amusing interaction followed closely behind another memorable moment from the podcast’s previous episode. Just a week prior, O’Brien had experienced a similar delightful interruption when Jason’s daughter Ellie cheerfully derailed the conversation while he and Travis were discussing football with retired NFL player Randy Moss.
During that recording, Jason had sweetly asked his daughter if she could make her way upstairs, but little Ellie was reluctant to leave just yet. In an endearing display, Jason brought her closer to the camera, asking her to greet Moss— “Say hi to the greatest receiver to ever play football.” She obligingly waved at Moss before scampering off, only to return to share a loving message, “Love you, Uncle Travvy! Love you, Randy Moss!”
These playful family moments have become a charming hallmark of the “New Heights” podcast, highlighting not only the camaraderie among the Kelce brothers but also offering a glimpse into the vivacious life of family life amid recording sessions. The emergence of Ellie and her sisters as unexpected guests has added a refreshing dynamic to the show, allowing fans to connect more deeply with the Kelce family’s everyday experiences.
As a platform that combines sports commentary with personal anecdotes, “New Heights” continues to captivate audiences with its blend of humour and heartfelt stories from the beloved NFL stars. The lighthearted interactions between the Kelces and their guests remind listeners that even amidst a successful career, the joy of family remains paramount.
In a world where personal and professional lives often collide, the Kelce brothers’ ability to navigate both seamlessly brings a relatable charm that resonates with many. Whether it is O’Brien’s warm-hearted suggestions or moments shared with their children, these experiences offer a reminder of the importance of laughter and family in life’s unexpected scenarios.
As the podcast progresses, fans can look forward to more such delightful moments, ensuring that “New Heights” remains not just a source of sporting insight but also an enjoyable exploration of familial bonds and the humour that life brings daily.
