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.

Episode 52 takes place and we both forget it's our one year anniversary! Luckily we had enough to cover with the Pelicans stirring up the off-season drama as rumors circle regarding coach and player chemistry, and we get into the luck of the draft and if Griff has another lucky voodoo rabbit's foot to help them climb above the 10th pick. We cover Ring cams, piles of tires, faulty engineering, and much more!

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. The Saints schedule is out and that means it's time to speculate, baby!

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.

We give the Pelicans the viking funeral they deserve as the ship of this season sails off into the sunset. There's NFL draft action happening in a few days and we try to pay attention and appreciate football news in April.

It’s Groundhog Day for the Pelicans as they lose 4 close-ish ones in a row, shattering their chances of even the extended 10th seed. Does this team have the confidence in themselves to realign for next season and will there be any fans left to watch if they do? 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.

The Pelicans are on an upswing but SVG sticks it to the stars of a squad that desperately needs a kick in the butt and some bonafide leaders. The Saints are all quiet on the western front other than a possible Rob Schneider cameo in Sean Payton's future film career. The boys bust up malls, doing the dishes, and more.

Lonzo shows out then goes cold as the Pels blow out a Houston team you can’t name anyone on, then get demolished by the Hawks. The draft is coming up quick for the Saints who can’t play it cute for once and have to go for necessity over everything else, but don’t worry, LaToya has hinted at allowing us to witness football at full cap this Fall. We encourage a Teddy comeback, then get into Charcuterie, the WNBA pay scale, another candy holiday, and the acceptability of mustaches in 2021. Let’s go!

Ride the wave with the Pelicans and experience dizzying highs, terrifying lows, and the creamy middle that is Polk & Kush. Brandon Ingram comes through in the clutch and the coaching staff and teammates have his back on and off Twitter. Josh Hart calls out the Bledsoe haters (us), and Lonzo’s value zigzags all over the place as NAW takes advantage of Zion quadruple teams. There’s an inkling of Saints news, controversy in the Women’s NCAA Tournament, and plenty to say about Subway, Dollar Stores, and Entergy’s 99 Red Luft Balloons.

Better late than never, huh? That’s what we’ll be saying after Jameis gets his first Super Bowl victory this coming season and it also applies to this episode being 2 days late. We just wanted to give you (the listener) the most Pelicans packed pod we could muster. Nothing world-shattering happened, but there’s still plenty to ponder, and as always the boys rip through segments taking down fajitas, regional sports networks, shrimp-filled cereal, and everything in between. Let’s go.
