The Hollywood Reporter mentioned the possibility of an eight-figure deal for "New Heights." Specific details are still unknown, but it's clear that the podcast is in demand.

A potential contract could be comparable to the recent $250 million deal Joe Rogan secured with Spotify or the $100 million deal signed by the "SmartLess" podcast hosted by Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes with SiriusXM.

"New Heights" not only has impressive download numbers and views on YouTube, but it was also honored as Podcast of the Year at the iHeartRadio Podcast Awards in March.

Travis, 34, shared with The Hollywood Reporter in a piece published on April 2 that he has been pleasantly surprised by the success of their project. "I think everybody’s kind of shocked on how it’s taken off the way it has," he said. "We just started off by wanting to showcase our brotherhood and our similarities knowing that we’re really two different walks of life."
