Travis Kelce Responds After LeBron James Begs to Be on NFL Star's Podcast
The Jason and Travis Kelce podcast has become so popular, now LeBron James is begging to be on the program.
“@newheightshow Crazy I can’t get a invite to join yall fantastic show!” the 4-time NBA champion wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, October 4. “Is it because you guys are truly the Kings of NE Ohio and I claim to be? Be honest!. Seriously you guys are AWESOME!!”
Like James, 38, the Kelce brothers, Travis 34, and Jason, 35, grew up in Ohio. LeBron was born in Akron, and the brothers hail from Westlake (a suburb of Cleveland). After Jason replied that Travis was supposed to ask James to join, the tight end made it clear that he was ecstatic that the basketball icon wanted to be on their podcast.
“Appreciate ya Bron. We’d be honored to have you bless the show!” the Kansas City Chief football star tweeted on Wednesday. “It’s only right to get Northeast Ohio’s finest on and talk some ball baby! Let’s make it happen!!”

“Open invite anytime,” the “New Heights” podcast account added, prompting numerous responses.

Another follower wrote, “Gentlemen, congrats. Number 1 podcast for however many weeks it’s been is huge. LeBron requesting to be on is whatever the highest level of sports talk is called. Get Beckham, Simone Biles, Serena Williams, and Dale Jr and you’ll easily go down as the biggest in history.”
“LeBron x Kelce Brothers — YES. Let’s get a date so I can go ahead and mark it on my calendar,” a third fan responded.
One user joked that James may be “using” the NFL brothers “for clout” as the show gains listeners amid Travis’ rumored romance with Taylor Swift — and the podcast’s X account had a quick response.
