The Pelicans remain at 10 in the lottery and Swin Cash becomes a meme! We wink-wink'd ourselves to death last week hinting at the firing of SVG so what other P&K bombs will we drop? Zion and his family aren't happy with the squad and that makes a lot of sense! Alvin Kamara is working for NASCAR, Chris Paul gets F'd by the NBA (again) and Gin is gross!Polk & Kush is sponsored by Ale on Oak, a spacious bar and patio in the heart of uptown with over 30 beers on tap and a full menu with plenty of TV's showing every game imaginable.

The boys discuss all the turmoil, drama, and rumors surrounding the Pelicans and Stan Van Gundy and get into the nitty gritty about what did and didn’t happen this season and how much of that rested on his shoulders. The Saints officially retire Brees and bring in some guys who may or may not have fake names to fill in the large shoes left by Thomas Morstead. We’ve had it with long lines for chicken sandwiches, and if you’re gonna car-jack someone, make sure it isn’t an off-duty police officer.

Polk & Kush dive into a very hot topic with a team that seemingly has its superstars on a conveyor belt to greener pastures. What causes a small market to care about a team - is it consistency, a winning attitude, or just culture? We ask some hard questions about Pelicans fandom and what it will take to keep players and potential fans happy. Saints minicamp is in full gear which gives us a glimpse into the wild beyond of a world without Brees. Your favorite segments cover everything from Air Pods, to Hotels, to our old friends at SW&B.

Episode 52 takes place and we both forget it's our one year anniversary!

Polk & Kush dive right into an unceremonious end to the Pelicans season and debate whether it was hopeful, miserable, depressing, or a combination of all three. Zion starts sounding like an actual person when talking about the team and Griff has to make some BIG moves to keep this from going the way it always does.

Unlike this Pelicans season the tornado blew us away! It’s time to tank and think about the draft and forget wildly complex situations that result in a 10th seed. Give it up, baby! The Saints have more questions than answers as we contemplate the draft and if it solved any actual needs for the team. Polk thinks the mall should have an 18+ timeframe for shopping, Kush thinks we need to abolish parking laws, and you think we’re full of it.

Drew Brees admits to only feeling good in a single game last season, a theory that most fans felt like they were in on. Kush has got problems with office chairs, Polk thinks Cryptocurrency is a scam, and plenty more.Polk & Kush is sponsored by Jansen Petagna at French Quarter Realty and Ale on Oak, located in beautiful uptown with a spacious patio and over 30 beers on tap plus a full menu and all the local sports on tons of TVs.
