The Bengals and Chiefs have delivered the NFL an exciting rivalry over the past three seasons. Two faces from those teams will now be meeting face-to-face on a podcast.
Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce will be taking their podcast, "New Heights," on the road to their alma mater, the University of Cincinnati, on Thursday. Joining the Kelce brothers will be Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Bengals offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. as guests of the program.

Unlike past iterations of the podcast, Thursday's episode will feature a live audience. The plan had originally been for the podcast to be at Nippert Stadium, but due to weather, it will be moved inside to the basketball arena.

How to watch 'New Heights' podcast
- Release date: Thursday, April 11
- Stream: YouTube
The Kelce brothers' podcast is typically released on YouTube. The episodes are not live streamed, however, and there is no certainty this episode will be broadcast live either.
However, fans of the Kelce brothers should be able to find the episode no later than the next day. The episodes are usually around 75-90 minutes. However, this could wind up being a longer episode for several reasons.
First, the Kelces are going to have at least two prominent stars on the show. Burrow has been the biggest challenger to the Chiefs' dynasty in recent years, while Brown won two Super Bowls with Kansas City before signing with the Bengals.

There's also going to be the Lombaby Games, which will feature the distribution of the Great Lombaby, a giant golden baby that has been a staple of the show. University of Cincinnati students will be competing in the games, which are now set to be held indoors as part of the show.
Though Travis Kelce has never directly taken aim at Burrow, he has certainly taken shots at Cincinnati in his days since leaving the Bearcats. After Cincinnati mayor Aftab Pureval called Arrowhead Stadium "Burrowhead," the Chiefs defended their home in the AFC championship to beat Cincinnati.
Kelce then said after the game, "Burrowhead my ass" and then called out the mayor.
"I got some wise words for that Cincinnati mayor. Know your role and shut your mouth, ya jabroni," Kelce said.
When does 'New Heights' air every week?
Typically episodes of "New Heights" air on YouTube each Wednesday.
However, this time the schedule will be slightly off with the podcast being carried live in Cincinnati on Thursday. This will also be the second episode airing of the week after Lil Dicky appeared on the show on Wednesday.
