Polk and Kush

Apr 14th 2021 - Sean Payton: Mall Cop

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. Polk & Kush is sponsored by Ale on Oak, with the finest patio in uptown, 30 beers on tap, and all the local sports games. You couldn't ask for a finer Spring and Summer destination - Catch them at 8124 Oak St and tell 'em we sent ya.

Apr 7th 2021 - See Ya in Nashville

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!

Mar 31st 2021 - Zo Anon

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.

Mar 26th 2021 - The Trade Deadline Extravaganza

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.

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.
