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.

The Pelicans show a glimpse of hope with an impressive win lead by Josh Hart over the Clippers, but then quickly lose steam against a steaky Timberwolves team. Watching this Saints game against the Eagles was an exercise in punishment, even with some minor Trautman redemption. Look out for the Thanksgiving gator! What’s going on in Australia? And so much more.

On this week's episode Polk & Kush discuss whether discussing the Pelicans is worthy of discussion. The Saints lose to Atlanta but between Jumbotron face time and Trevor Siemian being decent, it's not all bad. All of that, plus Air BnB tax cheats, saving the world from horse molesters, and alligators used as weapons at Wendy's.

The city is on fire and the Saints are not. Jameis looks like the Jameis we know and love from Tampa, but with a rash of injuries and illnesses depleting the team we discuss what to truly take away from a humiliating division loss. Should the Pelicans look to Ben Simmons as an additional weapon as they look to start strong in a brutal Western conference? Your garbage is still sitting there, LaToya is still mayor, and we’re still podcasting. All this and a lot more on this week’s episode of Polk & Kush.We’re sponsored by: Ale on Oak, and Jansen Petagna at French Quarter Realty.
