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.

The Saints lose in Los Angeles because Dennis Allen is still the coach and Derek Carr is still the quarter back. The Pelicans dominate in Cleveland after a heart-breaker courtesy of Ja Morant. Who's watching Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve???

The Pelicans win two in a row with Angry Zion against Minnesota and follow that up with a blowout of Washington with Brandon Ingram with a 40-burger. Has the NBA moved on from Zion gossip for the next big thing? And the Saints still suck, but they can be the best at it.

The Pels get absolutely demolished in Vegas. The Saints continue to do that every Sunday and Mickey Loomis doesn't know why you're selling your tickets. There's a winning lottery ticket floating around New Orleans somewhere. All this and much more!

Polk and Kush go see the Pelicans live and in-person as they stomp the Sixers for 42 minutes and Zion has a historic night. Kush has one word for Dennis Allen and Derek Carr, it begins with the L, and ends with Osers. A man leaps off an airplane, and the return of our original segment: THE WORST.

Fans love consistency and we continue to give it with an all-new Monday episode featuring Pelicans talk about Ingram and Zion, the relief of a Sunday without hearing from Dennis Allen, and Polk tries to convince everyone he's an unappreciated genius.

The Saints have been watchable the last few weeks, the Pelicans need to work on their chemistry, Bally's needs to hang it up, and the weather forecast calls for Murder Fog. Sponsored by The Garden Gates Landscape Company

The Saints are a bad football team. Pelicans fans want to see something before locking in. The Saltwater is gone but the SuperFog has come for us.

The Saints can't hurt us any more. We're happy to see Zion on the court regardless of if he's mad at everyone or not. Our airport finally has a road.Sponsored by The Garden Gates Landscape Company, Crescent Canna and Draftkings (promo code POLKANDKUSH)

It's one of the spookiest days of the year and we're here with all the haunts and chills you'd expect. Are the Saints problems solved? The Pelicans are in the pre-season but boy is it nice to see Zion back on the floor. Libraries are some of the last good places. Political commercials on TV are laughable, and who's got our vote for Speaker of the House?Sponsors:Crescent CannaThe Garden Gates Landscape CompanyDraftkings (Promo code POLKANDKUSH)

Listen, the Saints stink and Derek Carr and/or Pete Carmichael aren't going to fix things until the Dennis Allen problem is resolved. The Pelicans are back and don't worry, the vibes at camp are good, and the saltwater may not yet consume us all.Sponsored by:
