92%ers, welcome to another episode of New Heights brought to you by Reese’s Oreo® Cups!

Today, we are joined by the incredible host of The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon!

Jimmy joins us to talk about everything from throwing putters into lakes, the secrets to talking football on TV, how to plan a wedding, and he’s got an incredible pitch to Travis for an end zone celebration.

Jason and Travis also talk about everything else from Week 2 in the NFL. We get into the Chiefs coming up short against the Eagles and how he’s feeling about that goal line drop, what the league might do to the “tush push,” why players' only meetings might be a waste of time, Baker’s incredible comeback, and so much more!

We also take some of your calls on the Heights Hotline about getting pulled over, turf toe, and potty training secrets.

We will be back Monday 9/22 with Coach Prime himself, Deion Sanders!
