On the twenty-third episode of New Heights, Jason and Travis respond to some of your reactions to our very special Gronk episode and try to figure out who to bring on next, we go through some of the absolutely insane fan art submissions that all involved shaving the big yeti, and we answer the not dumb question, “Could the average person rush for 1 yard in the NFL?”
We also recap all the incredible games from Super Wildcard Weekend including the Jaguars historic comeback over the Chargers, the Ravens fumbling it away at the goal line, Tom Brady possibly playing his last snap in Tampa, and we go deep on why Mike McDaniel’s and the Dolphins play calling went up in smoke.
There’s also some non-playoff NFL news to talk about with Aaron Donald possibly announcing his retirement via his Twitter bio, Kliff Kingsbury booking a one-way ticket to Thailand, and someone at the Athletic finally doing the official math on the QB sneak.
Finally, we wrap with a look ahead to the Divisional round of the playoffs with the Eagles playing the Giants for the third time this season, the Chiefs at home against the Jags, but more importantly, we go way off script with a discussion about Waffle House and where it ranks in the world of breakfast chain restaurants.
Feel like every good sports podcast eventually lands on a Waffle House discussion so we let this one run long for you guys. Make sure you hit us in the comments below with how you think the guys rankings hold up.

Mike gesicki should be next guest
Brady won't come back to the AFC. I thought he made that clear when he left the Patriots. We shall see I guess.
Y’all should bring Trevor Lawrence as the next guest
Pat mcafee or tyreek
Waffle house is the hibachi of breakfast
George Kittle would be awesome!
Oh Jason, your TE is just as nice. 😉
QUESTION: Coming out of college and signing the first contract, going from broke college kids to signing a pretty good contract. Was there a player or coach who put you guys into check about how to deal with the money? And not be broke at the end of your career like a lot of different players. I won't say the players.
TRAVIS I BET YOU WOULD SCORE THE FIRST TD OF THE GAME AND YOU FUCKING DID IT ON A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL.#DONTSLEEPONTKEL
Waffle House is a boxing ring
Waffle House is a breakfast joint. Diners live in NJ and serve pancakes and poached salmon. Both serve a definite purpose. Mom comes in town to visit and we spend a long day at a casino, I take her to a diner. My college buddies come in town and we tie one on… we find a Waffle House. Just sayin. #newheights
Hopefully your guys next big show ,the two of you host Rihanna as a guest…. Sorry Jason love ya man but its KINGDOM here, .So i am siding with the two of your guys mom and taking Travis on that episode.. Keep THE HEIGHTS coming fellas !!
FRICKIN LOVE THESE GUYS.
CONGRATS ON THE PLAYOFF WINS BOYS
Tyreek would be cool to get on
More of a café than a diner
jason shaves his beard, travis does big yeti y’all bet on something
Andy Reid will be hilarious
Throwback to a couple weeks ago but my friends and I are debating that the 2018 LSU tigers could beat the worst nfl team. I don’t think so but they are determined. What do you guys think?
Should do during Super Bowl media day
Gotta get Terry Bradshaw on the show
Jason's face after Travis said he'd have to lose a bet is fckn great. 😏😂
Waffle House would fit into the category I’ve heard called “Fast Casual” which is like in between fast food, where it doesn’t have a drive thru, but it’s not really like a “restaurant”. It’s a place that you probably wouldn’t spend a lot of time, they usually do take out as an option but people prob prefer to sit in there instead, places like that. kinda just a category to describe those in between places that you wanna call fast food but that doesn’t quite fit.
IHOP, Denny’s, Waffle House, & Cracker Barrel are all Breakfast Places. Not fast food, not diners, and not restaurants. You serve breakfast all day you’re a breakfast place. Diner’s can serve breakfast all day but they cannot be a chain and they must have a certain aesthetic.
I say an O-lineman next- Taylor Decker out of Detroit. Another Ohio kid, but reps my Lions nowadays. If not Decker, Sewell or Ragnow- one of our Detroit playas regardless. I loved the Gronk episode, but overall I just love how you guys shoot the breeze on any given episode of this podcast! Pulling for a Super Kelce Brother Bowl from the mitten state. Best of luck, boys!
I want Joe Burrow because I want to see what it’s like between him and the brothers
Now we're gonna need a video of Ed and Momma Kelce saying "New Knees", but they gotta say it how Travis and Jason say "New News". 😂😂😂
get joe burrow
I predict Eagles Bengals in the big dance! Love ya Travis, thanks for a great FFB championship, but St. Joe baby!
Peyton Manning would be the best next guest
Jason you have to get Nick on, please!!!!
Bradley Bozeman(Center) Played for the Ravens & Panthers was a two time CFP National Champion with Alabama
I played Run back in high school and I was pretty good I can run a 4.4 40 but I only weigh 160 lbs but I am very strong for my size I can bench 225 for 17 reps and squat over 500 Bc I power lift so I’d like to think I could get a couple yards off pure speed and my O line 😂 but that’s abt it hopefully I survive the hit
Tom is going to a new team
Tom Brady to Detroit
San Fran doesn't want Brady. They'd take him, but they don't need him. Purdy, Lance maybe, and possibly Jimmy G
KC loses to Philly in the SB, Trav shaves Big Yeti in his chest hair.
Interview a Defensive player since you both play offense
A "Fast Diner" perhaps?
(Also, "Cracker Barrel isn't a Breakfast Spot" is a WILD take, Jason. )
“I don’t think that’s the right nipples”😂😂😂 I look forward to this show every week! Keep it coming!!!
If the Chiefs end up in a 4th&1 or less, I hope they put Kelce under center to sneak it. Hell, bring in Saunders and give him the rock.
Man, sad to say bills breakfast spot actually closed down sometime over the last 2 years.
Can someone get an alright now counter on trav
"Buffalo Wild Wings" use to be named "Buffalo Wild Wings and Weck", hence "BW3". After the name was dropped people still call it BW3.
Bw3 because the 3 looks like wings from what I remember. Speaking of wings I’m a tad upset the Red Wings weren’t mentioned in the hockey part. Tougher, better, more star power, and a better logo than the Av’s (in the 90’s) 🤷♂️
Get Andy Reid and aj brown
After the season you gotta bring Nick Siriani in and Dan Campbell! Would love to see that
George kittle
Joe Burrow needs to be a guest. During the off-season at least
Is we get Eagles vs Chief Superbowl this sounds like a GREAT bet! #BigYeti
