When Kelce fans read the back of the book, it may seem like they’re getting never-before-seen, intimate stories from the brothers. But don't expect new off-the-field anecdotes or anything about Travis' upcoming nuptials with Taylor Swift (she's mentioned only once).
It doesn’t advertise it, but “No Dumb Questions” is a glorified transcript printout. Only five of the questions are new, and USA TODAY excerpted one of them last week. Even the audiobook version is edited from the podcast, except for the introduction and the five exclusive questions.
At 226 pages, the book reads like a high school student fiddling with the margin sizes to meet their page count. And there are illustrations. Many. How about some white space with an illustration of a gorilla? Or a pull quote from a sketched Travis that reads “No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Cinnamon Toast Crunch”?

Have you ever wanted to pay for a podcast? Now you can with this hilarious “book” from the Kelce brothers.
I saw this on Spotify and knew that it was exactly what I needed. And I was right. I honestly don’t recommend this “read,” but it was entirely worth it for me. (Though, I’m kind of ashamed to be logging this book.)

As a fan of both Taylor Swift's fiancé and Kylie Kelce's husband, I want to say thank you to William Morrow, Harper Audio, and LibroFM for the ALC of No Dumb Questions!
This was so much fun and such a quick listen. 100% if you're a fan of the podcast, you'll enjoy this audiobook, as it's alllll the dumb questions they've been asked, and Travis and Jason answer these questions with complete and total honesty (and their normal amount of ridiculous silliness). I am a big fan of these two. I love that they love to laugh together and clearly just want to have a good time with the people they love.
One of the strongest points of this audiobook was how it was separated into categories. I liked that there were different sections of questions and themes. I am a sports girlie, but I liked learning even more specifics about sports. Then I also liked the questions about Thanksgiving foods, best Halloween costumes, hypotheticals, and favorite movies. It was even fun to have some celebrity guest appearances!
I think if you're a fan of the New Heights podcast, you'll absolutely have the best time listening to this one!

June 10, 2026 Review:
3.25/5
This book was exactly what I expected.
There's only one correct method to read this book, and that's through the audiobook because this book was basically just an extended New Heights podcast episode where Jason and Travis chat about the most random topics and answer the most random questions (like questions related to sports, favourite halloween candy, school, etc.).
Listening to this audiobook felt like I was listening to random podcast clips that were cut out and pieced together just for this book.
(Question: did you really write a book if the book is just series of podcast transcripts?)
In any case, the audiobook was really fun to listen to and serves as a great way to promote their podcast for those who have never listened in before.
January 15, 2026 Pre-Review:
Jason and Travis Kelce have written a book!
They've indicated that the book covers questions they've received on their podcast, New Heights
I hope they narrate the audiobook! It'll be like an extended version of their podcast!

Loved this as an audiobook since I don’t listen to podcasts. But this isn’t a cohesive book, just clips from their pod.
Funny tho!

I loved this.. but I love the Kelce brothers.. felt more like a long podcast than an actually book, it was really just them talking and answering fan questions.. but I liked it because I like them.

This is only the 2nd podcast to book I’ve read and this one was not in a format I loved.
I still enjoyed reading it because Travis and Jason are hilarious but I would have enjoyed a little bit of narrative somewhere in there? Maybe a little blurb at the beginning of each section that wasn’t in the dialogue format?
Either way, it was enjoyable, just could have been more.

As someone who falls squarely into the category of "casual football enthusiast" (go Seahawks) and "mildly weird Swiftie" (Eras Tour, Seattle Night 1 forever), I picked up No Dumb Questions: And All of Our Dumbest Answers – The Kelce Brothers Answer Their Fans' Burning Questions About Football, Brotherhood, and Life mostly out of curiosity. I know who Jason and Travis Kelce are, of course. Like much of America, I was introduced to their particular brand of brotherly chaos through the wildly popular podcast New Heights, and I wanted to see if this book offered something deeper than the audio version of their conversations.
The answer is... sort of.
The book is structured around fan-submitted questions, with the brothers responding in the same conversational style that has made them podcasting superstars. The topics range widely. There are plenty of football-related discussions, including insights into playing in the NFL, memorable games, locker-room culture, preparation, and the realities of professional sports. Fans looking for behind-the-scenes football stories will certainly find plenty to enjoy.
But the book isn't solely about football. Some of the more engaging sections focus on Jason and Travis's relationship as brothers. They discuss growing up together, sibling rivalries, family traditions, parenting, marriage, and the ways their lives have changed as they've gotten older. The brothers also answer questions about friendship, success, failure, motivation, and dealing with public attention. There are lighter moments devoted to favorite foods, embarrassing stories, travel experiences, and plenty of the absurd tangents that listeners of their podcast have come to expect.
What makes the book work is the dynamic between the brothers themselves. Jason often comes across as the grounded older brother, thoughtful and self-deprecating, while Travis leans into his role as the charismatic entertainer. Their affection for each other is genuine, and even when they're teasing one another, there's an obvious warmth underneath it all. That chemistry is the reason New Heights became such a phenomenon, and it's the reason this book remains entertaining even when the subject matter isn't particularly groundbreaking.
That said, I couldn't shake one persistent question while reading: why is this a book?
I don't mean that as harshly as it sounds. I had fun reading it. There were moments that genuinely made me laugh, and I enjoyed spending time with the Kelces. But the entire experience felt remarkably similar to listening to an extended episode of their podcast. The question-and-answer format, the conversational tone, the tangents, the jokes—it's all very familiar territory.
For readers who don't listen to New Heights, that may not be a problem at all. In fact, this might serve as a great introduction to the brothers and the appeal of their relationship. But for those already familiar with their podcast, there isn't a great deal here that feels exclusive to the page. I kept waiting for a deeper dive into their lives, their careers, or their personal reflections—something that would justify the transition from podcast microphones to hardcover. Instead, the book largely delivers more of what fans already know and enjoy.
Ultimately, No Dumb Questions is exactly what its title promises: a collection of entertaining questions and often delightfully dumb answers. It's funny, easy to read, and undeniably likable thanks to the personalities at its center. I enjoyed my time with it, but I finished feeling like I'd essentially listened to another episode of New Heights in print form. Whether that's a positive or a negative will depend entirely on how much of the Kelce brothers you're looking for.

Jason and Travis are entertaining to listen to, but this just wasn’t a well done book.
I don’t listen to / watch their podcast, but have seen a lot of clips. Very few clips I’ve seen are of the ‘no dumb questions’ segment, yet I recognized multiple questions that were in this book. This would have worked best as a ‘best of’ type podcast special, not a book.
It was very clear that this was just questions they’ve answered in the past put together in titled segments (that aren’t always relevant to the segment?). It’s completely silent for a couple seconds between questions, and the silence sometimes starts mid-laugh so Jason/Travis will just suddenly be cut off, then it’s silent, then it’s a new question. It didn’t feel natural.
I listened to the audiobook, and I’m not sure if it would be as ‘worth it’ to read physically since I feel like the banter and laughter is what makes the brothers so entertaining. But overall, I’m not sure who this is for. People who like them and want more content by them likely already listen to the podcast, and I assume this would seem very repetitive. Also, the last segment is questions with guests from the podcast, however none of the guests are introduced in the audiobooks. So as someone who doesn’t regularly watch the podcast and know a list of their guests, and obviously cannot see who they are talking to like people who watch the podcast on YouTube, it was confusing because often the questions were relevant for who they were talking to (or even moments where they mention looking at the camera). So that would be a benefit of the physical book in this instance, knowing who they were talking to for each question in that segment.
Honestly, after typing all of that, a 3 star feels like a generous rating. But it’s a pretty short book, and I borrowed it from the library, so it was a free and quick listen at least.

I was super excited to listen to the audiobook. Then I realized that they’ve just reused their podcast and transcribed it into a book…While it was entertaining, that’s very disappointing.

This is a compilation of excerpts from several years of their podcast, which is interesting, but not in my opinion a solid basis for a book.

Book Review: No Dumb Questions: And All of Our Dumbest Answers – The Kelce Brothers Answer Their Fans’ Burning Questions About Football Brotherhood and Life

Publication and Context
Title: No Dumb Questions: And All of Our Dumbest Answers
Authors: Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce
First Published: June 2, 2026 (William Morrow)
Page Count: 240 pages
Format: Hardcover (ASIN: 0063489570 / ISBN: 9780063489578)
Genres: Nonfiction / Sports / Humor / Celebrity Memoir
Contextual Backdrop:
Riding the unprecedented wave of their overlapping NFL dominance, Jason’s post-football media career, Travis’s stratospheric pop-culture status, and the massive success of their New Heights podcast, the Kelce brothers’ foray into publishing was inevitable. Released just a week ago for the summer 2026 reading season, the book is explicitly targeted at their loyal podcast fanbase (affectionately known as the “92%ers”) and the legion of new football fans who have flocked to the sport over the past few years.
Purpose and Themes of the Work
The premise is simple: capture the chaotic, fraternal, and highly entertaining banter of the Kelce brothers and put it in print. The book is structured around answering questions from their fans, ranging from the genuinely educational to the completely absurd.
Thematically, it is a celebration of brotherhood, approachability, and the democratization of sports knowledge. By tackling “dumb” questions (like the mechanics of a down, or why players don’t squirt their own water bottles), the Kelces aim to make the notoriously complex game of football welcoming to outsiders, while simultaneously leaning into the ridiculous internet debates that make their podcast go viral.
Summary of the Work
No Dumb Questions is less a traditional memoir and more a 240-page printed Q&A session. The brothers tackle life’s greatest (and least important) mysteries.
The book is divided into loose categories: sports, science, relationships, and “miscellaneous.” Readers will find straightforward, insider explanations of NFL locker room dynamics alongside debates on whether milk or cereal goes into the bowl first. They tackle philosophical oddities like “how many holes does a straw have?” and bizarre hypotheticals involving detachable body parts. Sprinkled throughout are anecdotes from their childhood in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, behind-the-scenes stories from their respective Super Bowl runs, and a slew of transcripts featuring famous guests from their orbit.
Analysis and Evaluation
Format, Pacing, and Structure
The Q&A format makes this an incredibly fast, breezy read. You can easily fly through the 240 pages in a single afternoon. The structure is episodic and non-linear, meaning you can pick it up, flip to a random page, read a funny debate about weight room etiquette, and put it back down.
Subjects and Voices
If you have listened to five minutes of the New Heights podcast, you know exactly what to expect here. The voices are authentic to the brothers: Jason provides the slightly more grounded, gruff, “everyman” logic, while Travis brings the high-energy, goofy, and charismatic swagger. Their chemistry translates surprisingly well to text, with varying fonts or distinct dialogue tags keeping the conversational flow clear.
Strengths and Limitations
Strengths: The book is undeniably fun. For new football fans (many of whom found the sport recently through pop-culture crossovers), Jason and Travis offer a wonderfully judgment-free zone to learn the basics of the game. Their sibling dynamic is genuinely heartwarming, and their willingness to not take themselves seriously is refreshing.
Limitations: The early 3.25-star rating likely stems from the book’s lack of depth. For avid podcast listeners, No Dumb Questions might feel a bit like a recycled transcript of conversations they’ve already heard on Spotify or YouTube. It lacks the cohesive narrative of a traditional sports memoir. It is unabashedly a piece of merchandise for their brand—a fun, fluffy cash-in rather than a revealing look at their lives.
Suitability and Audience Guidance
Content Considerations: Generally clean, though it features some mild locker-room humor and the casual, PG-13 language typical of their podcast.
Target Audience: A must-have collector’s item for die-hard “92%ers.” It is also highly recommended for casual fans, Swifties looking to learn more about football without feeling intimidated, and anyone looking for a light, humorous beach read.
Conclusion and Verdict
No Dumb Questions delivers exactly what it promises on the cover: dumb questions and equally dumb, highly entertaining answers. While it won’t win any Pulitzer Prizes and may disappoint readers looking for a deep, introspective sports memoir, the Kelce brothers have successfully bottled their infectious, brotherly charm. It is a lighthearted, laugh-out-loud celebration of sports, family, and the joy of not taking life too seriously.
Supplementary Elements: Reading Companions
What to Read Next
If the humorous, conversational sports vibe of the Kelce brothers left you wanting more, check out these titles:
It’s Good to Be Gronk by Rob Gronkowski – For another dose of high-energy, unapologetically goofy NFL storytelling from one of the greatest (and loudest) tight ends to ever play the game.
Based on a True Story: Not a Memoir by Norm Macdonald – If the absurd, rambling debates about straws and cereal are what you enjoyed most, this legendary comedian’s hilariously fabricated “memoir” perfectly captures that deadpan, chaotic energy.
The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis – If the Kelces’ explanations of football mechanics piqued your interest, this classic offers a brilliant, narrative-driven deep dive into the strategy and evolution of the NFL.
Rating: ★★★★ 3.25 / 5

Thank you to the publisher and the Kelce’s and Libro.fm for proving me the ALC in exchange for a review.
I have never watched the New Heights podcast, but have seen snippets and reels of it previously. While I am Denver Broncos fan, and huge Swiftie, I do find the Kelce brothers interesting and entertaining. However, I do not normally read a lot of non-fiction.
I enjoyed the audio version of this book as it was snippets of the podcast and segments I have not previously heard. However, if I was a regular follower of their broadcast, I think I would have found this book disappointing overall.
There were several portions that had me laughing and I did like that the book focused on just one portion of their podcast. I think this book was also most successful in the audio format, and I believe I would not have enjoyed it as much reading it.
Overall it was a fun time. It did not entice me to start listening to their podcast, but did get me excited for football season!!

If you’re listening to the podcast, the book really nails what they’re discussing.
Chapter 2 was hilarious! My wedding was in the fall, right before Thanksgiving. I graduated from Mississippi State, and we were playing the other school in Mississippi (the Egg Bowl) the night before our wedding. We had a party the night before with family.
This game was super important for us because we needed to win to make the SEC championship. My wife totally got it, but after the game was over, she gave me a beer and some appetizers. She said, “I’m sorry you lost, but can we please enjoy the festivities now?” I married up completely, who also married into my love for football.
I really enjoyed the Peanut Butter Jelly conversation.
Overall, it’s a quick read. If you’re listening to the podcast, you’ll hear a lot of the same questions. If you’re looking for a quick read at the pool l or a road trip, this book is the one for you.

I listened to the audiobook, and I would not call this a “book”. More a collection of clips from their podcast. I can’t imagine trying to read a hard copy, I think the transcriptions of the conversations would be very dull. The audiobook was mildly amusing for me as I’ve never listened to their podcast, New Heights, but I don’t imagine much of the content is new if you listen to the podcast regularly. It was a short listen if you need something to bolster your reading goal 🤷🏼♀️ 2 stars, would not really recommend at all. Also- Taylor Swift was literally only mentioned once, so if you’re more of a Taylor fan, give it a miss for sure.

Thanks to William Morrow for the gifted copy. All opinions below are my own.
As a south Jersey girl, I have grown up in a world all things Eagles. It's not my jam, however it made me quite familiar with Jason Kelce before he "popped" in the world of media. Travis, I will say, was not on my radar as a personality beyond football until after he started dating Taylor. It's near impossible to live in this social media world and not have come across New Heights. I'll admit I've never listened to a full episode but I've seen many clips on TikTok. This book takes a small segment of that podcast and writes a transcript of it. I guess I expected something different and novel. Why not just listen to the podcast? I suppose if you're a visual learner over an audio one? The questions and answers are fun but I just didn't think the medium was right.

If you have listened to the New Heights podcast then this book is going to bore you. To be fair, it reallt isn't a book as much as it is a transcript from their podcast with a few new questions. It reeks of a money grab based on the fame of the brothers.
The audiobook is basically the podcast edited into audiobook form.
I didn't hate it, because I am a fan, but it wasn't groundbreaking and I'm not sure it needed to be a book.
Thank you Libro.fm for the gifted ALC.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Because I think they are so authentically funny!
I loved this audiobook!! It was funny, lighthearted, and such an easy listen. Def more like a podcast!
If you’ve ever been around a group of guys, you’ll recognize the humor immediately. I found myself laughing and wanting more!!! It felt like sitting in on a conversation with friends!

June 12, 2026Fun to read but basically just transcripts of their podcast, which I've not listened to. They are fun / funny guys so it's entertaining, but if you are podcast listener then there likely won't be anything new here.

This was a fun read!

It’s my own fault that I finished this “book,” which is actually just a collection of podcast transcripts. I kept waiting for a cameo moment from Kylie or Taylor - it never happened.

listened to the audio and it was listening to live podcast session with Travis & Jason. Loved all the different questions and clips from podcast episodes.

Quick read- nice change of pace. It was like reading a podcast, funny and enjoyable.

If you're a fan of the boys and the New Heights pod, this is an enjoyable read (even if the majority of the book is transcripts of NDQ already discussed) and bookshelf worthy.

I’m not sure if you can call this a book? I listed to it on audio and it’s basically clips from their podcast (which I do enjoy!) there was nothing original about it and it comes off as a money grab as no extra effort or material went into it. 2 stars as I did find it entertaining but I would not encourage anyone to spend their money on it!
