After taking a brief hiatus from their "New Heights" podcast, one of the most popular sports podcasts in the U.S., Jason and Travis Kelce are back with a brand new episode dropping on Wednesday. The return comes despite the ongoing controversy surrounding Travis' future with the Kansas City Chiefs as he considers retirement.

However, ahead of the episode, the duo kept their guest announcement under wraps until Tuesday evening, revealing that two more brothers will be joining the show. 

The Tkachuk brothers—Brady of the Ottawa Senators and Matthew of the Florida Panthers—will be featured on the podcast following their high-profile performances during the 4 Nations Face-Off. The brothers recently competed in the championship game against Canada last Thursday night. 

The New Heights social media platforms posted, "The Bash Brothers of Team USA are coming on the show TOMORROW. The TKACHUK BROTHERS."

“We have the brothers of the NHL, Matthew and Brady Tkachuk, welcome to the show, baby!” Jason exclaimed.

The Tkachuk brothers have been standout players in the NHL since entering the league, with Matthew being drafted in 2016 and Brady in 2018.

Much like the Kelce brothers, the Tkachuks have built impressive careers in their sport, following in the footsteps of Travis and Jason. Jason just wrapped up his first year away from the NFL after retiring from a 13-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles last season, while Travis, still contemplating his future, has spent his entire 12-year career with the Kansas City Chiefs, winning three Super Bowls.

The Kelces played together at the University of Cincinnati, while the Tkachuk brothers had the rare opportunity to share the ice at such a high level for the first time, representing the United States. 

"We've played in the All-Star game together, but that's fake," Matthew Tkachuk said  "It was our first-ever opportunity... We always had the dreams of playing with each other, and it finally came true."
