During ESPN’s media day on Wednesday, Aug. 28, the retired NFL star turnedMonday Night Countdown analyst, 36, discussed how his “loving relationship” with his younger brother Travis has allowed their New Heights podcast to succeed.

“I think on the podcast, you get, first of all, an organic, loving relationship between two brothers. We’re honest with each other. And it comes across,” said Jason. “And we have good personalities that I think generally audience members appreciate, and like to want to watch and listen to, which I don’t know if I agree fully with that, but they’re there.”

“I think that people appreciate that. They can tell when you’re trying to sell them a used car or not,” continued Jason. “And I think for me, that’s my biggest thing that I think will help me have success as well as putting the work in and preparing.”
