- On the twenty-second episode of New Heights, we've been asking you guys who you wanted on the show and there was one name that came up every time, or at least 92% of the time. So we finally got the 5x pro bowler, 4x first-team NFL all-pro, 4x Super Bowl Champion, and one of the best to ever do it, Rob Gronkowski.
In this episode, Jason and Travis get the details about why Gronk is kicking a field goal at the Super Bowl, the return of “Gronk Beach”, and acting alongside GILFs.
We find out whether we’ll see Gronk return in the playoffs, the reason he’s got an eye on the Buffalo Bills, why the Patriots were already yelling at him on Draft Day, and how he ended up at the University of Arizona.
Travis and Jason get the behind-the-scenes stories from Gronk’s rookie year with the Patriots, his first time meeting Tom Brady, the insanity that was trying to block Brandon Spikes, why Belichick is the greatest coach of all time, where he thinks Brady goes next, and his welcome to the NFL moment with Vince Wilfork.
Gronk opens up about what it’s been like to constantly get compared to Travis, what TE records he hopes never get broken, why Jeremy Shockey was his TE role model, how the position has changed, and who’s the next TE to watch out for.
Finally, we get Gronk’s POV on some of our signature segments with his Mt. Rushmore of NFL brothers, our not-dumb question about animals playing football, Gronk’s advice to his younger self, and his stamp of the week that you absolutely don’t see coming.
And in case you missed either of our special guest episodes, check out the Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes conversations below.

Loved this. Gronk’s public persona is like the lovable, funny jock but when he’s just breaking down the game you can see how smart he is.
The dude is very smart. When he was playing he didn’t spend any of his contract money, just the endorsement cash. That’s a savy thing to do. Also, you don’t get as good as he was without being smart.
I agree! I only see him acting like the dumb jock ...I was very impressed with him
@@terryblase3234 he is it’s his “brand” to act dumb
@@geeD64 and people like being around people who seem dumb because they make them feel smart
It's called CTE
There is so much personality between these three, THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST EPISODE YET
Right had to watch
@@thomassantana37500
Agreed
It's funny to hear the story about Brady introducing himself to gronk because the same thing happened to me with Travis! I was bartending at a golf course and he wanted some Gatorade (anything but red, don't worry man I remember) and he was like "nice to meet you man I'm travis" and in my head I was thinking no shit dude everyone in kansas city knows who you are.
😁 It also helps you realize they really are just human and humble.
That’s awesome. I met Julian Edelman and he said the same thing to me. And I had the same reaction as you lol.
Not everyone follows football so its normal to do that.
Everyone in the country that knows football knows who Travis is. Not just Kansas City.
Who doesn't like red Gatorade the best tho? 🤣
The way Gronk spoke about his draft experience, Tom Brady’s coaching in his rookie year, and just the vibes between all three was incredible. Kudos to Jason and Travis for such great content. Love from Arizona
Gosh man the amount of humility these men have is fantastic. What an episode
Humility* but ya it is amazing!
Humbleness?
Humility*
@@UKnowCLoI got love for you
@@sydneysdaddy2007I got a lot of love for you too
Gronk is so naturally entertaining
I’m actually shocked to see Gronk in a more laid back setting because his personality is very different than his public persona.
You can tell he isn’t just the kind of obnoxious class clown type. He’s actually really intelligent and he seems pretty sweet. Comes off as a very humble, down to earth, personable guy.
Gronk could easily be a long-lost Kelce brother
LOL, from Papa or Mom Kelce?? 😂
Gronk had a 4.0 GPA and was Valedictorian in HS. He is actually very smart, and definitely very organized.
I know he's smart, but that still surprises me. Also hard to believe Travis Kelce was academically disqualified in his senior year in high school and in college.
Gronk is Norm, smart guy pretending to be dumb, Kelce is...Bill Maher? Not quite as bad as late-night hosts.@@ppumpkin3282
@@ppumpkin3282his college suspension was for weed not for grades 😂
He wasn't valedictorian and had a 3.75 gpa... web.archive.org/web/20230921050702if_/pbs.twimg.com/media/ENE8oKDXUAA1LES.jpg
@@nooblover23he got suspended for both actually. Lost his scholarship for weed and then got suspended again in the spring of his final year for falling below a 3.0. He got it up to a 3.2 tho. Jason is the smart one tho. Without him there would quite literally be no career for Travis
I am surprised at how earnest and sincerely dedicated Gronk came off.
He’s awesome! And the three together are hilarious! 😁
It’s how I felt hearing Travis in this podcast for the first time after seeing his reality tv show, same for Jason after only seeing his parade speech
I feel like he's misunderstood kind of
@@AmaraEmme I'm loving you I want you to take me to Infinity just like the powerful song says come love me I give excited just thinking about it
Really? He's always been that way. He's way too crazy to be phony, and there's a reason why he was so successful
This is perhaps the best interview Gronk has ever done imo. Wow the Patriots stories, Bill Belichick 😳 Brady connection and determination, Tight End Comparison.. Amazing just amazing. Keep it coming
I am almost 70 yo grandma and I loved football so much! I really enjoyed listening and watching you two brothers picking on each other in fun of course! I do have to say I really loved this segment so much! It's one of the best shows you did. Keep up the good work!
Gronk & Brady have the most wholesome relationship ever🥹 I love them together
Can I just say how much I love these Kelce brothers?! They are so hilarious and genuine! After all the world has been crazy the last few years, this podcast is just the kind of thing we need to laugh again! Love y'all ❤️
And here's to hoping we get a very Kelce-filled superbowl 🤞
I'm so happy we actually did. I kind of feel happy and sad for them and the parents. No matter who wins they're going to have one son that loses and no matter which brother does win, they have to look across the field and see their other brother sad. But of course they'll be happy for each other no matter what because that's just what kind of men they are. They are simply amazing men in general. Phenomenal football players, humble, funny, and gracious. They have the best most genuine and honest personalities and demeanors. It seems they're very appreciative of the opportunities they thought and it doesn't say no take anything for granted from the experiences, the family, the teams, coaches, friends, all the way to the money. What more could you ask for out of these NFL Pro Athletes. Gronk is a stand-up gentlemen as well.
@@amandacantrell1146 Agreed 😊 I think it helps that they both already have a super bowl ring! You couldn't write out this bit of history any better than this if you tried! I think it comes down to the fact that they are both so deserving. Mama and Papa Kelce have a lot to be proud of, on and off the field! This is your time y'all- soak it up!
And one last thing...🙊
💛🏈❤️ GO CHIEFS!!!! ❤️🏈💛
The fact he said Val Venis is one of the most “should have expected but I didn’t” answers I have ever heard. Well played, sir!
Love and miss you Stephen
This was a great interview. Gronk doesn’t usually show this side of himself. Learned a lot.
Every episode is awesome! Let’s get Marshawn Lynch on here!!
😭😭😭
YES! When Marshawn and Gronk were on Conan, I was dying laughing hahaha
He'll just be there so he doesn't get fined
Pretty sure he got arrested
He's absolutely the best. Lol
Having the THREE of you in ONE show...is just the BEST, loved it!!!
Two of the greatest tight ends of all time on the same podcast. Grateful!
Gronk and Trav together is truly the best. Love the brotherhood they share and respect they have for each other. Also throw in Jason and u got the perfect trio 😂
Arguably the 2 greatest tight-ends ever.
Final fantasy
I’m a Chiefs fan! I have Travis on my wall. But when it come to Gronk I have a soft spot and have always been a fan. He’s an amazing guy. And I totally enjoy listening to Jason. Love this podcast! ❤
The Kelce's just laughing and smiling the whole time. Really fun episode; Gronk is one entertaining cat.
I was so blessed have to lived in Massachusetts and been a lifelong patriots fan! This guy was loved by all ! A complete beast on the field and one of the best blockers also. Definitely a Boston and NFL Legend that layed alot of hurt on field. The Goat of tight ends that raised the bar
Dude the fact that New Heights has Paul Rudd, Mahomes, Hurts, AND Gronk on in the short time on air is unreal! Congrats fellas!
Love the show!
Also Julian Edelman and Broccoli Purdy
Another great episode for NFL fans across the board. Can't beat the personal stories and comraderie.
I love how serious gronk is taking this Superbowl kick, like most people would just be like whatever, it's a 25 yarder and if i miss it, whatever, but gronk is putting in work like this is the biggest kick of his life, and I love that
Two of the best tight ends and a legendary center? Best show ever. I love this podcast and glad i discovered it. Hearing Gronk just be himself was awesome. Thanks guys! Keep on keeping on..
Gronk is just the pinnacle, he’s like in his own class and it’s hilarious he’s just so down to have a good time 😂 it would be hilarious if he did do the be a free agent for a few years and join a Super Bowl team for the next few years that’s just pure gronk
I was just smiling and laughing out loud through the whole episode! Favorite episode yet! Love those 3’s energy!
My son loves Gronk! This is the first time I've gotten to hear from him. What fun show and informative. Thank you. I have to be honest...I came for Taylor and am staying for the sheer enjoyment of brother's loving each other. Football has been a part of our lives since my boy's were in elementary school. It's nice to see people come talk about people I remember playing, hearing coaches and player's name's that influenced my love for the game. Thanks for taking us on a walk down memory lane. It's been fun.
We needed this guys.... didn't think u could get somebody with your guys energy hype but Gronk is the man.... thanks guys from the UK
"Take care of your body and learn how to say no". (Rob Gronkowski) That's advice for life, bro :) Rob deserves nothing but the best on his current and future endeavours! It was a blast to watch him play football and enjoy his awesome personality on and off the field!
What a great interview. It's like being a fly on the wall of a private conversation. I loved the thoughtful insights, the enthusiastic support, and the wide, infectious grin on my face. Thank you all.
The 2 greatest tight ends ever in one podcast….. sprinkle in one of the greatest centers. Holy crap.🥰🥰🥰
Exactly! Made my day getting to watch these three 😍 😄 ❤️
Shannon Sharpe was a goon idk
@@sprawlz6466 Shannon himself has proclaimed that Gronk is the undisputed GOAT TE. Probably the most well rounded football player to ever play on offense. Unstoppable pass catcher and better than half the leagues o-linemen. He saved the patriots many times by coming in and blocking 7-9 plays. Then smashing a TD in the redzone or popping a huge block, then getting open, catching a pass and racking up YAC! He was unbelievable for us for so many years. He’s the GOAT already. But he could have been even more dominant had he not been injured so many times. But he gave us and the bucs everything he had. Brady to Gronk might be the greatest duo of all time. Because they were so in sync with each other. They didn’t even have to talk. They both could see the same thing and just sliced up defenses!!
@@WheelchairWolverine I agree with all of that. He was the greatest TE of all time when he played. But he was available for only like 60-70% of his career. Shannon Sharpe didn’t get hurt like that. Neither does Kelce honestly. Plus, Sharpe was also an incredible blocker. He was so fast, no one could cover him. And the fastest DBs in the league still couldn’t do it because of his size. He was phenomenal and didn’t get hurt. Plus there were some other beasts back in the day like Mackey and Ditka. Idk, it’s a tough choice to pin just one of them as the GOAT. Also Gonzalez exists
@@sprawlz6466 gronk has the best te season ever and Kelce will finish as best te all time. Sharpe, gates, Gonzalez and the rest are hall of famers for a reason but they don’t match up with Kelce statistically. Kelce has been a top 5 receiver for 6-7 seasons straight while playing te. He’s already breaking records and he is not even close to being done. I believe he will hold every record, besides gronks single season td record, by the time he finishes his career.
Gronk is a football savant. The perfect hybrid between OL and receiver. He may play a dumb jock on TV, but if you watch the video with him and Camille, he has perfect recall and completely melts her heart. It’s so sweet.
Loved this episode! Smiled through the entirety. Thank you for bringing the great stories and laughs each week!
I was not ready for this episode to end. I just wanted it to keep going. Loving everything yall are coming out with. Keep it growing, love to see it. Best of luck and wishes to the both of you to make it to the big game, even if you have to miss Gronk Beach lol.
this is awesome- i was glued to this vid. I love the fact that the 87s have so much respect for each other. Nice job Jason, Travis and of course- Gronk.
Gronk is an amazing team mate and great person. Much Respect for his craft of the game ❤
Next guests have to be your respective positions on each others’ teams! Creed Humphrey and Dallas Goedert
Thats a great idea
Three intelligent, well-spoken, fun-loving gentlemen right there folks. What a great show!
You two make people feel so comfortable and really bring out the best in people!
Bro this was sick. Thanks algorithm for bringing me here. Best podcast ep from 2023 already. What a mix this was, fantastic conversation. Keep up dudes. Great job!!
I really gained a lot of respect for Gronk with this interview. Always thought of him as just a goofy jock but he's clearly very intelligent and a good humble guy. Another great episode fellas!
Love y’all boys!!!! Thank you so much for all you do!!
Proud brother moment for Jason seeing gronk talk to about Travis’s greatness
Love this show so much. And this is the interview I have been waiting for all season!
You guys rock, New Heights is the Best. 💪💪 Would love to see Eagles vs Chiefs SB next month! 🙌
I’d love to see a podcast with a top tier offensive lineman like Trent Williams or defensive lineman like Myles Garrett
You can feel the chemistry between these guys.
I just discovered this podcast and love it. The Kelce Brothers gel with everyone they bring on. Great interview.
that Val Venus refrence completely blew my mind 😵💫
As a fan of these guys, their respectable teams & being a philly native, there would be 3 names that I would love to see come on to this podcast. Brandon Graham, Brian Dawkins & Eric Berry.
Keep doing your thing boys!!!
Love to see Eric Berry love
BG!
Gotta be Dawkins. No doubt 💪
Oh hell yes. Throw in Jamaal Charles maybe too
Berry would be amazing, but I would love to see Dawkins, that man hurt people by just suiting up.
Awesome episode/interview! Keep Killin' It Guys, love the channel/show! The three of you is a riot, I'd love to see you 3 commentating a sunday or monday night football game
Their conversations look so much fun!! I love how they reminisce and totally understand what the other is saying!! So much fun to watch and listen
Great Pod! You two alone are great but the football guests and getting those special stories keep elevating the pod to new heights!!
I am glad we got to experience Gronk here in Tampa. This was an amazing interview!
Best episode so far, much love to all you guys. Good luck in those playoffs guys
This was fantastic, thank you for sharing these kinds of moments with us. This could’ve been a personal conversation, which I’m sure it became, but to hear these stories is invaluable and the Gronk/Travis Comparisons gave me goosebumps. Not even a fan of football anymore, never been a fan of these teams, which goes to show how solid this shit was 🤙🏼 (you never want runny shit)
Thanks for having Gronk...always fun to listen to him! Great podcast 🎉
Y'all gotta get more current/former players on during this offseason. These are always really REALLY entertaining.
First time I've watched a full podcast, immense, well done guys
This is the best episode yet. It’s awesome to see Gronk’s personality.GO 🦅
I watch all of your shows but this one is classic. Good stuff with you 2 and Gronk!
The three are terrific together. Amazing show.
it is shocking how much better this podcast is than any other. just....incredible.
Amazing episode! Support from your big beard boys from the north 🇨🇦 Gronk and Travis chopping it up is a conversation all TE fans want to hear!
I'm French and I'm an Eagles fan, thanks for this great episode, 3 future MVP for sure having fun and talking about different things.
Such a great episode! Thank you!!
Love the show guys! Can't tell you how many times you all have brought light during my darkest time. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Love Gronk as a guest! I don't know what's happened to me. But, as soon as Taylor Swift started attending those games, I'm now so into that Super Bowl win. Then, I discovered this podcast and I've been absolutely Binging on New Heights podcasts! You have a great brotherly vibe that reminds me of my three brothers growing up. As far as football terminology is concerned, I'm trying, I'm trying! No, I don't really know what a tight end is. I pretty much figured out that the center is the guy standing in the center getting most of the blows- kudos to Jason! Terrific Super Bowl last weekend, by the way, Travis and Kansas City Chiefs. It was absolutely as entertaining and nailbiting and satisfying as it could be, especially to a newbie at sports!
This interview gave me such an appreciation and respect for gronk that I didn't know. What an awesome dude. Great episode!
One of the best shows … of this great show! Thank you guys!!
This was even better than the Mahomes episode! Gronk just has so much personality, and he's smarter than people give him credit for. learning that Pats offense isn't easy, and he mastered it. Plus, he's been very wise with his money, doesn't blow it on silly extravagant things and banked all his NFL income, just lived off the money he made from endorsements. Bet his bank account looks pretty sweet right now.
❤ZZZ
This podcast just makes my week better every single week great entertainment from a couple of future HOF’s keep it up gentlemen
Ultimate respect for the Kelce bros. 2 winners on and off the field. Love the energy you guys bring and the positive vibes, keep it up and good luck to both of you in the playoffs.
Never been a fan of Gronk’s schtick but this interview is one of the best sports interviews I’ve ever seen. Seemed like Gronk opened up more than he ever had and showed a genuine side of himself, not the WWE persona he’s always given off
Awesome episode of the podcast! My favorite one so far!
Best episode yet!!! Loved it. Three fantastic dudes with awesome personalities!! You guys would be so much fun to hang out with!!
Loving the gronk episode. Good luck fellas in the playoffs. Watching from Lewiston,Maine.
Mainer's in the house!
What a TREAT!!!Such a fun episode!!!Much appreciation!👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻😄
Teri let me take you out on a classy wine and dine dinner im a 21 year old successful stud
Man Gronk’s the coolest. This is probably my favorite ep. You can tell the Kelce’s really enjoyed this session. He would kill it with a pod, could certainly be a regular on here
This is best ever and should have millions of views! Thanks for all 3 of you GUYS Time for doing this please thank gronk for me! God bless
I am so excited to see Gronk!!! Gronk and Patrick were the best guests on the show! This is an amazing channel❤
You guys are great. Gronk was an excellent guest. You show has become an addiction. Keep up the good work.
The three of you are a riot. Can't wait to see who you bring in next.
Gronk IS smart , most of all , he is so good-natured and humorous . Wow , the three of these men are really great together . This is loads of fun !
I just love Gronk. Kind classy and hysterical
Thanks for having him on❤
TE's are wild. They the party people!!!
U gota fiiiiiiight for your riiiiiight, to paaaaaarrrrtaaaay 😆
gronk going to the combine and only doing bench press and travis going to the combine and doing everything BUT bench press is probably the funniest way to describe the differences of these two all-time great tight ends lol
Best episode yet, by far! Great show guys.
Great podcast guys! You're so much fun to listen to. Gronk is awesome!
My favorite podcast. You guys are awesome.
Once again another outstanding podcast from New Heights with handsome, boyish , lovable Gronk
Love the show fellas. Keep up the great work you fellas are doing.
we should get a count down of how many times they say baby or like a reel that would be hilarious. Seriously, love the content and thank you guys!
As a lifelong Eagles fan to hear Jason say "this might be the last time I do this", I want to cry.
I know you want to go quietly Jason but Philadelphia loves you and we would love nothing more to stand and celebrate you on your last game. So Let's go boys bring that trophy home so Jason can stay home next year...LETS GO BIRDS
We need one more super bowl speech from Kelce.

Fellas just wanted to say great job. I will admit Im a Giants fan but after listening to you guys do your thing it reminds me of how i am with my two younger brothers. I can feel the love between both of you. Love your stories. you both are now in the playoffs and im rooting for you both to meet each other in the SUPERBOWL!! that would be awesome.
