Despite being among the most well-liked football players in the NFL for years, Travis and Jason Kelce are now well-known outside of the sports industry thanks to their friendship with Taylor Swift.
In addition to hosting “New Heights,” one of the most popular podcasts worldwide, Travis and Jason frequently feature in television ads and other shows.

Earlier this year, the brothers’ enormous increase in views and listeners led to a $100 million partnership with Wondery, Amazon’s podcast network.
Charles Barkley of TNT isn’t thrilled about the Kelces’ recent receipt of another award for their podcast.
People Magazine called Travis and Jason the “Sexiest Podcast Hosts Alive,” while Barkley, who co-hosts “The Steam Room” with Ernie Johnson, disagreed.
Barkley stated, “Now see, now y’all just messing with Chuck and Ernie,” on Tuesday’s Airing of “Inside the NBA.”
“They’re not nearly as good looking as me and Ernie,” he added when Kenny Smith asked why he was upset.
“Let me tell you something: Travis might be slightly better looking than me, but Ernie’s better looking than Jason.”
When Shaquille O’Neal grinned softly, Johnson could only giggle at his longtime co-host.
On “New Heights,” the brothers talked about their triumph, and they were as shocked as everyone else.
“So we had a whole bunch of people vote on who the sexiest podcasters were, and sure enough sexy ass Jason Kelce wins it for everyone as always,” Travis said about the award.
Other contenders were former “Good Morning America” host T.J. Holmes, as well as actors Penn Badgley and Josh Peck.
“Who are these other guys?,” Jason asked, when Travis told him that they won.
Despite Jason’s retirement from football, the Kelce brothers are among the busiest in all of sports and entertainment this year. Jason is starting his career in sports media at ESPN, while Travis continues to play at a high level with the Kansas City Chiefs.
We’ll see if Barkley debates the real winner of their most recent award with the brothers on their podcast.
