3/11/20261 hr 38 min
92%ers, welcome to another episode of New Heights brought to you by Hill’s Pet Nutrition! Today, we are joined by comedy legend, Oscars host, and fellow podcaster, Conan O'Brien!
First, Travis gives us his thoughts on coming back for his 14th NFL season, we recap a wild free agency, and we break down the biggest news story of the last week, Mamma Kelce renovating her modest Florida home.
Later, we are joined by Conan O’Brien. We talk all about his prep to host the Academy Awards, his rocky start at Late Night, his best advice for how we can become better interviewers, his favorite Chris Farley story, the one late night guest that always crushed, his greatest athletic achievements, and so much more!

You said you're trying some of these jokes out in these comedy clubs.
Travis Kelce· Host0:02
Yep.
Jason Kelce· Host0:03
Would, would you sh- try some of them out with us right now? We don't have to put it in the episode, we can cut them. But- I absolutely will not. Dang it! All right. Fair enough, fair enough.
Travis Kelce· Host0:10
And I don't trust you. I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't trust you.

Jason Kelce· Host0:57
Do we wanna wait for the, the intro, or should we just talk about it now? At what point did you know for sure you were coming back?
Travis Kelce· Host1:03
About midway through the season.
Jason Kelce· Host1:06
[laughs] [laughs] So what were you waiting on, then?
Travis Kelce· Host1:09
You know, I think, uh, I was taking Jason Kelce's advice. I was taking the advice, it's take a step back, because you don't... You, you gotta let the emotions clear, and you gotta have a clear head. I've made decisions based off of emotions and, you know, they haven't always played out the right way. So I think, uh, taking a step back, letting the
