Yep, there's another hurricane coming, but like most horrific things in 2020 we're choosing to ignore it and focus our energies on being mad at sports. The Saints squeak out a win against yet another mediocre opponent due to some Brees time travel and it doesn't feel good at all. Can the Saints right this ship and demolish some chumps? A daunting schedule provides no answers, but we'll try to. We've also got some Pels coverage, Louisiana college football round-up, and your favorite SEGMENTS.

The boys are once again back in town, and despite the bye-week there's actually some Saints and Pelicans news transpiring. LaToya has graciously allowed some fans to go into the Superdome this Sunday to welcome back Teddy. The Pelicans are being awful quiet about their coaching vacancy, but is their prime candidate saying too much? Tulane blows it, LSU has confidence in their back-ups, and we've got plenty to say during your favorite segments. Cover yourself in Ranch dressing and give it a listen!

It's a wild one with this week with half the crew over in the very green scenery of Colorado, but never fear, we've got special co-host Justin Andre to fill the Kush-sized hole in our hearts. Scotty gives a (spotty) call in to discuss the Saints turn of luck and we'll try to make sense of their roller coaster victory, along with some very rare optimism. Justin and Polk take down all the usual segments, with a rousing argument for and against wireless devices, a Presidential Covid souvenir, and much, much more.

The fellas crawl into the depths of despair in discussing what happened to Drew Brees and the rest of the Saints while getting the worst-possible kind of hammered in Vegas. But the fun kicks up a notch when the discussion turns to Andy Reid's ability to fit through doors, when to leave a movie, and what logo gets kids kicked out of Florida elementary schools.
