On the twenty-sixth episode of New Heights, we sit down with the two people the whole country has been waiting to hear from, Donna and Ed Kelce! Donna reveals how she feels about the Kelce bowl, who she’s really rooting for during the game, and if she’s going to actually do the pregame coin toss. We also get answers on who broke the couch growing up, if Mom really wanted a daughter, and the truth behind Travis’ name. We dig into some family secrets about raising Jason and Travis, what it’s like to be a parent to NFL players, if Grandpa maybe committed some light treason, and if we need to run it back next year. Next, we’ve got Ed Kelce who shares his candid thoughts on who’s winning the Kelce Bowl, what it was like coaching Jason and Travis growing up, and why he went to such great lengths to make sure they had a great Christmas every year. We finally get Dad to reveal some incredible family stories including why pizza rolls counted as a vegetable growing up, why no one knows how to pronounce Kelce, what was his plan if he actually heard from aliens, when the last time he stole from the library was, and dad’s favorite story of Kelce household destruction.
