Polk and Kush

Jan 6th 2021 - Distracted by Krispy Krunchy

It’s playoff time for the Saints, as we prep for what could be the last Brees-led wildcard round we’ll ever see. We’ll talk about what to expect, who to see, and if there’s anything to gain from the trouncing of Carolina. The Pelicans fall in one of the most brutal losses in franchise history and who’s to blame? Don’t worry, we’re ready to point fingers. Kush loses his mind over a common car component, Polk burns his tongue and his hand, and so much more.

Episode 31 - See You Next Year!

The Polk & Kush team doesn’t take holidays off! We’re here with a rapid-fire episode questioning the Pelicans decent start (this was recorded before the Suns game!) and the Saints Christmas match up against the Vikings. Kamara has the touchdown record regardless of the very old record books, NFL playoff seeding mathematics makes us roll our eyes, and Jaxson Hayes might be taking a trip to the G-league. We breakdown New Year's resolutions and partying, as well as pretending to rob banks and the trusty ol’ food pyramid. Fun, quick, and easy -- give it a listen!

Episode 30 - Name That Receiver!

A potential Super Bowl preview may not have gone the Saints way, but there’s still plenty to look forward to with a recovering Brees who hopefully won’t be throwing to plumbers and UPS guys for the rest of the season. The Pelicans look sharp in the pre-season (as they normally do) but the pieces seemed lined up for a fun (and hopefully) successful season. Tulane drops a hot potato, the Atlanta Falcons have to hang it up, and a looming Christmas holiday season and some toilet wine dominate our segments.

Episode 29 - It's Always Fumbly in Philadelphia

The Saints win streak screeches to a halt in the city of brotherly love amid player performance woes and a few unlucky breaks -- will it snowball into this week's showdown with Kansas City or can the Saints become a trap game of their own? The Pelicans in their one preseason outing have shown that they will go undefeated and win the championship uncontested and nothing will hurt us. LSU "shoes" us they've still got it, there's men in diapers, there's Christmas music, and so much more.

Episode 28 - Be An Ally To The Hoop

The Saints hop in the Way-Back machine to transport us to the time of being terrified in the fourth quarter, but a scrappy defense manages to save the day and extend a stellar win streak before heading into Philly. The Pelicans have been making the media rounds and saying all the right things, but will winning personalities equal winning games? If nothing else, this NBA season is gonna be fun. Stick around for segments where Kush talks about his favorite mayor, Polk spends too much on a McRib, and other antics are afoot. Join us!

Episode 27 - Have Your Cake and Eat It Too

The boys kick this one off by diving into their antics-filled Thanksgiving holidays, but fret not, we’re absolutely packed with Saints coverage on their blowout win over what could have been a prime Sunbelt contender. Have Taysom’s magic undies lost their powers or was it all according to plan? We have a few theories and woes heading into Falcon Hate Week 2.0.-  There’s also plenty for you Pels fanatics, as we go into the actual dog-like qualities of the team and what sensible fans can realistically expect. There’s swingers conventions follow-ups, there’s bad politicians, there’s delicious cake, and so much more.

Episode 26 - Threat Level: TJ Maxx

Another week, another jam-packed episode as the boys are coming off their live debut and more importantly, a crucial Saints win. Does the Taysom Time experiment prove Sean is one of the all-time tricky geniuses, or did the Saints luck out starting this endeavor against a fledgling Falcons squad? We're more optimistic than you think. We also welcome Steven Adams to the Pels, lament a brutal Tulane loss, and revel in the simple joy of a neighborhood mini-mart with Icees.

Episode 25 - Breaking Ribs and Eating W's

Brees got hit by a dump truck and managed to keep standing and scoring, but now the Saints must carry on with Taysom Time or the Season of the Winston. Jrue keeps on giving to New Orleans with an absolute haul of players and picks, and the usual segments takes us down the road of Thanksgiving and looooooooong meals, decorating too soon for Christmas, ducking the check at restaurants, and so much more.

Episode 24 - We Don't Want Bama!

We reminisce about the first glimpse of pure unadulterated Saints dominance in 2020 and what factors finally led to it. We've also got an insanely short NBA off-season before things start getting really wild really quick with the Pels, Zion, and a Zoom call where Kush may or may not have been muted by the higher ups. LSU dodges Bama due to some unfortunate circumstances, we dodge the authorities, and you dodge an hour of your work day by giving us a listen. That and much more on this week's Polk & Kush.

Episode 23 - Better Late Than Sober

 
We're covering it all in this one. We prepare to bid a fond farewell to everyone's favorite 2-way player Jrue Holiday. Were the new-look Pels totally fair with his given role last year? We dig in. Oh, it wouldn't be 2020 without another Saints dismal win with receivers you've never heard of, but do things seems hopeless against the mighty Bucs? You might be surprised by our takes on this one. And, If you're somehow not sick of election coverage, we're covering it in a super-sized duo The Worst. Calm those politics nerves and give it a listen.
