Last August, the podcast achieved a deal with Amazon for over $100 million, which is an indication of how popular it has become over time.
On Wednesday, a big announcement was made, as "New Heights" merch is now available for fans to purchase and wear. This collection comes in patriotic colors just in time for the upcoming Fourth of July holiday.
According to Sports Business Journal, the podcast had previously hit 2.5 million subscribers. It is believed that Travis Kelce's high-profile relationship with pop star Taylor Swift has helped drive even more fans toward the podcast.
Travis Kelce may be showing some signs of wear and tear on the field lately, but he remains one of the best tight ends in the NFL. Last season, he posted 97 receptions, 823 yards and three touchdowns while helping the Chiefs go 15-2.

All season, the Chiefs seemed to luck into many wins. But their good fortune eventually ran out, as their hopes for an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl championship failed when they lost to the Eagles, 40-22, in the big game.

Jason Kelce had played for the Eagles when they narrowly lost to Kansas City in Super Bowl LVII. This time around, he was just a spectator.
He does have a world championship ring from the 2017 season, when a different group of Eagles downed Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Advertisement "The thing with the Tigers that worries me is, they're very young," Plouffe said. "And like, you know, they've only started winning recently and the air in the clubhouse is different when there's like expectations and things like that." "Even with different personnel, the vibe in the Astros' clubhouse has always been the same, the standard has always been high even through new managers... You know, if I'm a bettin' man, and I'm betting what team do I think has a better record at the end, I still kind of feel like it's the Astros."

The Detroit Tigers went 4-4 in their previous eight games heading into Thursday night's tilt with the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Advertisement The Tigers and Orioles felt each other out during the first two innings of Thursday's game as neither team put a run on the board. Outfielder Kerry Carpenter set the tone for the Tigers' defense in the bottom of the first inning as he impressed with an incredible warning track catch that had fans talking on X. The catch served notice to Baltimore and the rest of the American League that the talented Detroit outfielder and his teammates are ready to compete on defense heading toward the All-Star Break.

Dana White Confirms Jon Jones 'Agreed to Fight' Tom Aspinall, But What Happened Next?
Dana White Confirms Jon Jones 'Agreed to Fight' Tom Aspinall, But What Happened Next? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The UFC heavyweight division's long-standing limbo took a dramatic turn last week as Dana White finally broke his silence on the Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall saga. At the UFC 316 post-fight press conference, White insisted Jon Jones agreed to fight Aspinall and accepted a deal. Advertisement The declaration seemed to promise a resolution to a saga of petty social media spats, retirement threats, and fan petitions demanding Jones be stripped of his title. Yet, as Ariel Helwani pointed out on Uncrowned, White's statement omitted a critical twist. Dana WhitePhoto by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC In a rant he posted on YouTube, Helwani dissected White's carefully curated narrative, highlighting the gap between the UFC CEO's optimism and the reality of Jones' commitment. Watch the full rant here: 'Confirmation: Jon Jones was offered the deal and accepted the deal. Rewind: Jon Jones was offered the deal, I said it, he finally accepted,' Helwani noted. 'Now, that's the most significant thing that Dana White has said regarding this in a very long time.' Advertisement However, he then revealed that Jones's acceptance of a fight deal was not solid, saying, 'The problem is he didn't tell you the whole story. He didn't tell you about the 'and then he went back on his word' part. He didn't tell you about that part. Eventually, that part will come out, but he didn't tell you about that part right then and there. But there it is.' Helwani speculates that White's press conference remarks were a last-ditch effort to pressure Jones into signing. This claim would be nothing more than speculation if it weren't for Jon Jones's recent social media antics, including his willingness to accept a fight with Francis Ngannou. In that same press conference Helwani alludes to, White also declared he has no power over Jones's career decisions, saying, 'Listen, if the guy wants to retire and doesn't want to fight, [there's] nothing you can do.' Advertisement Interim champion Tom Aspinall, meanwhile, has grown increasingly vocal, declaring himself the undisputed heavyweight king, wishing for the UFC heavyweight division to move on from this saga and dismiss Jones's legacy. The UFC has been facing a pivotal choice for months to either force the heavyweight champion's hand or risk the division's credibility. White's insistence that the fight between Jones and Aspinall rings hollow without contracts. As Helwani warned, 'the whole story' will remain untold.
