Polk and Kush

Mar 17th 2021 - Every Bar is an Irish Bar

It’s the end of an era as Drew Brees makes it official - he’s retiring from football to concentrate on opening a Jimmy John’s in the White House. We wave good-bye with faltering arm strength and ponder a Jameis-led future. The Pelicans continue to be topsy-turvy, this time on the fun side of things with glimpses of brilliance from...JAXSON HAYES? You can’t stop St. Patrick's Day in New Orleans, Kush goes barefoot, and we have a lot of fun in between.

Mar 10th 2021 - The Cap Isn't Real

Does anyone really know what the cap is or what it means? Nope, and neither do we. Will Mickey work his magic once again and keep a winning team together, or is this the beginning of the end? The Pelicans are firmly in purgatory as they have no idea what to do, and give no hints as to what's to come other than 11th place. We talk tax evasion, we talk reboots, and we talk so much shit. Get on board. It's Polk and Kush.

Mar 3rd 2021 - Over The Hill

Episode 40, baby! The Pelicans have cemented their place as the most bi-polar NBA team, securing wins over top tier opponents, and crumbling beneath bumbling goons. Is Russell Wilson headed to New Orleans because the mayor tik-tok’d at him from her secure island bunker? The Catholic church of New Orleans claims a moral high ground, J.J. Watts goes to a beautiful desert retirement community, and Tulane walks it off. All this and more on one of our funniest episodes yet.

Feb 24th 2021 - Hey Now, You're An All-Star!

The Pels celebrate a historic victory guided by their recently crowned all-star Zion, with a little help from the wildly underpaid Josh Hart and just like that the 10th seed looks more and more like a mild reality! The Saints cough and churn about in a boring off-season as we await Drew's latest commercial, cameo, and any sort of official announcement. The Muppets are offensive, Kush thinks Magazine is a major thoroughfare, and much, much more.

Feb 18th 2021 - Stan Van Lundi Gras

The Pelicans are going every which way but up, the Saints are giving us just enough morsels to keep themselves in the NOLA news cycle, and Mardi Gras isn’t exactly a bust. We’re coming in hot during icy times with some solutions for the Popeye’s drive-thru, some controversial krewe stories, and much more.

Feb 10th 2021 - FLY YOU FOOLS!

The Pelicans have turned it around with a 4 game win streak against actual opponents! The Saints still manage to have controversy even in the off-season! There's chicken store robberies, there's cash app thieves, and there's Mardi Gras chaos! As always, Polk & Kush is sponsored by Jansen Petagna.

Feb 3rd 2021 - BLOW IT UP!

The Pelicans are in the dumps and need to BLOW. IT. UP! The Saints can't hurt us anymore, but there's still plenty of news surrounding the team and the ever-persistent QB rumors swirling around the crescent city. This is a SUPER spicy episode with more than enough giggles to get you through your day.As always, Polk & Kush is sponsored by Jansen Petagna.

Jan 27th 2021 - Pelicants

Just because the Saints season is over doesn’t mean Saints news has slowed down any. Trade rumors swirl around AAA level talent while Brees whips up breakfast. The Pelicans lose 8 of 9 and our statistics guy tells us that’s “bad.” We’re inclined to agree with him. A wild and loose segments section covers Valentine’s Day, the playoff system, and some drunken French Quarter goofs with hippies. As always, Polk & Kush is sponsored by Jansen Petagna.

Jan 20th 2021 - Tape Over The Webcam

 
The Saints slough of a season is over and with it our half decade of excruciating pain. We say bye bye to Brees (and hopefully to Jared Cook) and welcome in a new era of Saints devastation. The Pelicans road trip is going as expected with glimmers of hope from Kira, NAW and Jax. We've got a stingray on broad, the mayor welcoming tourists for Mardi Gras, an oddly scented candle, and much, much more.

Jan 13th 2021 - Is the Gruel Vegan?

The Saints manage to overcome the worst team in NFL playoff history with some stellar (against the Bears at least) defense, and an offense that’s still figuring it out...all the while Special Teams is eating glue in the back of class. Should we mention the Pelicans? A brutal series of losses going into an even more brutal road trip does not bode well. All the usual segments starring King Cakes, celebrity chefs, Kush’s favorite target, and a toothless mob of goons. It’s all here!
