Polk and Kush
An absurd look at sports and life in New Orleans. This weekly podcast featuring comedian Andrew Polk and longtime local columnist Scott Kushner covers New Orleans teams with a bend away from stats and boring analysis. Instead they focus on the practical, entertaining side of the Saints, Pelicans, UNO, Tulane, and more.

CJ McCollum shows up and makes an immediate impact with the Pelicans but there’s still a few kinks to work out with shooting and rotations. The Saints stay the course in the search for an offensive coordinator, and hopefully he doesn’t piss off Kamara or his friends! 1600 people have had to pay to get their cars back after they were stolen and we think the city knows more than they’re letting on, be careful about which color emoji you pick, and watch out if you’re ordering drinks to your seat at SKC! It’s a wild one this week, fellas.

The Pelicans swing for the fences with a huge trade to nab star guard CJ McCollum, and lose a fan favorite along the way (we’ll miss you Josh Hart) but the basketball future is looking bright riding on a 5 game win streak. The Saints make the smart, albeit boring choice of Dennis Allen at head coach. There’s nutria hunting, you can’t use mailboxes, Tool kicks ass, and we’ve got new segment music!

The boys bring on Coach Mark Slessinger of the UNO Privateers to discuss just how much fun making the quick trip out to the Lakefront Arena can be with their rapid fire open-floor offense lead by Derek St. Hilaire. The Pelicans eek out a much needed victory in Detroit sparked by the return of Brandon Ingram. There’s a mysterious city-wide boom, they’re shutting down the massage parlors, and smoking too much ganja can have consequences. All this and much more!

The rumors have been swirling and now they’ve finally been flushed, as Sean Payton leaves the New Orleans Saints after 16 years and a Super Bowl championship. What does the future for the team hold? What kind of taste is left in our mouths? What hashtag could be printed on our next batch of t-shirts? The Pelicans keep shooting for the 10th spot, with good news coming from the Blazers. LaToya gets to the root of the crime problem by speaking out against littering, Entergy can’t keep the lights on, and Edwin Edwards leaves a parting gift.

The Pelicans can't keep it together against good teams and need a big change at guard if they're gonna keep their sights set on the 10th seed. A snoozefest of a wildcard weekend shows that the Saints may have been lucky to avoid it. Crime is outta control in the city and the people in charge just want to blame one another. It's just another week in New Orleans!Polk & Kush is sponored by:

The Saints finally fire on all cylinders crushing the Falcons but the Rams (as usual) destroy our hope. The Pelicans have played a lot better after reducing JAX and NAW's minutes, and they have their sights set on the 10th spot - Is a big trade coming this season? LaToya rolls out that mask mandate minutes after her party, the tires are on fire, and the vegans are hospitalizing people. Polk & Kush is sponored by:

The Pelicans are starting to look like the team we hoped with impressive wins over quality opponents thanks to high IQ play and hustle from Herb Jones and Josh Hart. The Saints get demolished by Buffalo on Turkey Day in the dome, and limp into another Thursday night showing against a Covid-addled Cowboys. Brian Kelly is gonna have to adjust to Baton Rouge! Fex Ex is throwing your packages away!
