Don’t Let The Suns Go Down On Me

The New Orleans Pelicans make the actual playoffs with inspiring performances against the Spurs and Clippers, thanks to big time shots from Brandon Ingram and...Larry Nance!? No one is expecting an easy time when facing the Suns, and the Pels got a quick dose of reality in Game 1, but glimpses of hope from a tired and young team give us a lot to look forward to in the series. We've got local segments covering a very bad first date, a nude reveler in on St. Charles, and a reason to can office birthday parties.Theme song by Mike Wiebe of Drakulas (on tour now!)

The Pelicans Play-In

The Pelicans have a play-in game in the blender and we discuss the keys to victory as our boys go up against Pop's Spurs. What can you expect? Where do the Pels go from here? How the heck does this play-in even work? We've got all the answers, plus the christian power team, jazz fest, and much more.

How’s My Dunking? Call 1-800-Zion’s Back

We discuss Zion’s step-dad calling into Jordy Colutta’s show to shed some light on where Zion is physically, mentally, and what his family thinks about New Orleans, Willie Green, and the Pelicans as a whole. The Saints get a few first-round picks from the Eagles and have more than a few holes to fill with them. An inflatable mayo jar is stolen and returned, but was it a publicity stunt by Big Corporate Mayo? All this and so much more.

Escape from L.A.

The Pelicans do their best Will Smith impression by slapping the Lakers around, showing just how much resilience this team has gained under Willie Green. The Saints find a suitable back-up in Andy Dalton, but who's he gonna throw it to? The Taysom experiment is officially over in one aspect, as Dennis Allen confirms he'll be playing as a tight end.

Goblin Mode

Zion dunks on Instagram and sends a message to the Pelicans that he wants to play, but is it the best move for the team with only 10 games to go? The Saints stay the course with Jameis Winston for at least 2 more seasons. Plus, all your favorite segments, local news, the definition of "Goblin Mode" and so much more.

The Ides of March Madness

The Pelicans are in a bit of a slump as Willie Green and company try to get back on track. The Saints are taking a look at DeShaun Watson and we question if it's worth the risk to an organization with plenty of controversy in its past. The city of New Orleans asks YOU how much you trust them! Potholes, Elden Ring, and more!Theme song by Mike Wiebe of Drakulas and Riverboat Gamblers.

We Survived Mardi Gras

Polk & Kush have survived the first real Mardi Gras in a few years! The Pelicans did not survive a monster Jokic in OT and get blown out by the Grizzlies without Brandon Ingram. Zion returns to New Orleans to frighten some local pet store employees, and LaToya gets an infrastructure-based promotion! This week's sponsor:

Seeing Redick Again

JJ Redick calls out Zion on First Take calling him “detached” and his behavior “insane” - Whoa mama!!! and we’re just getting started. Also, LSU is packing it out in Baton Rouge, LaToya Cantrell is ignoring her own mask mandate, and skiers are freezing their wieners off.

Thumbs Up Emoji

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.

CJ McCollum to the Pels!

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!
