Two former Super Bowl champions will be joining Jason and Travis Kelce on a special episode of their ‘New Heights’ podcast set to go live the week of Super Bowl LIX.
After teasing a special episode to be released before Travis and his Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles, the brothers have now revealed who their guests will be.
In a post to their podcast’s social media accounts, the Kelce brothers revealed that they would be inviting another set of siblings on the show: Peyton and Eli Manning.
The clip shared shows Jason wearing a Mardi Gras themed mask while giving an emphatic introduction highlighting the accolades of the two brothers, who are New Orleans natives.
Both brothers played their high school football at New Orleans’ Isidore Newman High School around the time their father, Archie Manning, was the quarterback for the New Orleans Saints.
They both went on to SEC schools (Tennessee for Peyton, Ole Miss for Eli) and had strong NFL careers.
Arguably the most prolific siblings to ever play in the NFL, Peyton and Eli have a combined four Super Bowl titles, three Super Bowl MVPs, and 18 Pro-Bowl selections split between them.
Peyton is also a Pro Football Hall-of-Famer and considered one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the sport.
Eli is one of the finalists to be inducted into the Hall-of-Fame in this year’s class.
In an interview with Adam Schefter, Peyton confirmed that Eli already knows if he’s been inducted, but no one else will find out before Thursday night.
As for how the Kelce brothers got the Manning’s on their show, ‘New Heights’ is one of the most popular football podcasts in the country.
Jason is also now a co-worker of the Manning’s. This was his first year as an analyst for ESPN’s ‘Monday Night Countdown’. Peyton and Eli host an alternate telecast of ‘Monday Night Football’ on ESPN2.
Meanwhile, Travis is preparing for one of the biggest games of his career as he prepares to try and win a third-straight Super Bowl crown.
No team has ever won three in a row and the Chiefs have the chance to be the first.
