LeBron James seems to be one of the few individuals who can make Jason Kelce feel like an elementary school girl.
This week, rapper and actor Lil Dicky joined former Eagles center and brother Travis Kelce on their podcast, “New Heights,” where they discussed “The King.”

Talking about the first season of his popular sitcom “Dave,” which LeBron openly supported on Twitter, was Lil Dicky.
The musician made a joke about comparing his life before and after LeBron reached out, and Jason remembered being just as excited the first time he saw James.
“We both feel exactly the same way,” Jason remarked.
Like the hottest person in the world thinks you’re sеxy, he joked. “He tweeted us while I was at practice, and as I’m coming off the practice field, I’m like a school girl with some hоt gossip.”
“It was like, ‘no way’!” .
“He’s the best,” Travis continued.
The Los Angeles Lakers player tweeted to the Kelce podcast in October 2023, requesting to be on the show since he has been a longtime fan..

“Wow, I’m not getting an invitation to join your amazing show! Is it because I sаy I’m the King of Northeast Ohio and you people really are? Tell the trutҺ! You people really are amazing!,” he tweeted.
In response, the official New Heights X account said that King James is welcome to appear on the show at any moment.Travis personally replied as well.
He posted, “The [king emoji]!!!”
“Thank you, Bron. It would be a pleasure if you could bless the program! It’s only fitting to get the best of Northeast Ohio together and have some ball, baby.
“Let’s get it done!
The brothers discussed the exchange in a later podcast episode. The brothers are major supporters of LeBron’s old team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
“That was pretty wild, I wasn’t expecting him to be listening in to this show,” Travis stated.
“There’s no denying that we invited LeBron James.
“Please allow us to arrange for it. When I was in seventh grade, I went to see LeBron James play high school basketball at a game down at Cleveland State.
“He was selling out arenas in Northeast Ohio and had to move the event to a college arena due to the high demand for tickets. I was jumping out of my chair, giddy with anticipation for the arrival of the NBA’s new crop of players. As expected, he did not let us down; in fact, he simply continued getting better, and it has been interesting to see him grow.
“LeBron, you’re aware of it already. The argument over whether or not NBA players may play in the NFL must be resolved.
“Listen, LeBron, you’re welcome to come on whenever you want to, brother,” Jason continued.
“We grew up watching you play, and from St. Vincent-St. Mary [High School] till now, we have followed your career as Cleveland and North East Ohio me𝚗. It’s probably safe to sаy that I would consider it an honor to speak with you.
Although the four-time NBA champion hasn’t yet been on the show, it feels inevitable.
Over the years, the award-winning program has welcomed a number of A-list guests, such as Patrick Mahomes and Arnold Schwarzenegger.The popularity of New Heights has been growing steadily, and the brothers revealed in January that the show had amassed more than 2 million YouTube subscribers—a figure that has now increased to more than 2.4 million.
‘New Heights’ won podcast of the year at the recent iHeartMedia 2024 iHeartPodcast Awards, recognizing the success of the broadcast..
