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.

What’s Your Spirit Animal?

Wednesday Aug 23, 2023

Wednesday Aug 23, 2023

It's almost football season and we're ready to gamble on a few overpriced hot dogs at the Superdome while Jameis Winston and Derek Carr tell us about their spirit animal (hint, it's more spiritual than animal). Would Kush bribe a cop? Would New Orleans boot your car on the hottest day in recorded history? Will you read this description? All this and much more on an all new Polk and Kush.

ALLLLLLVIN!

Thursday Aug 10, 2023

Alvin Kamara gets a 3 game suspension to start the season, the Saints keep finding former pro-bowlers under rocks and giving them one years, Brandon Ingram praises New Orleans and Griff, and the Governor race is the ultimate clown show, with self-pleasuring oafs, bullet proof vest wearing cajuns, and copyright infringement, plus some locals try to stop the one business that wants to come here.

Going Camping with The Saints

Tuesday Aug 01, 2023

Tuesday Aug 01, 2023

The New Orleans Saints are in the midst of training camp and we give our predictions for the season. Nothing could be easier than winning the worst division in the NFL, but will typical Saints luck stand in their way, or will injuries and a slow and aging defense be their undoing? We discuss this, a trip to North Louisiana, a visit to Galatoire's, and much much more.

Thursday Jul 13, 2023

We're back to talk about Zion Williamson's surprise appearance on Gil's Arena and just how relatable Zion is now. We may not have higher hopes for his health and conditioning, but he is 1000% more likeable than last season.

He Likes The Ladies

Wednesday Jun 14, 2023

Zion likes the ladies and there's nothing wrong with that, meanwhile the Saints are melting away at training camp, LaToya is flying first class (again) and charging you for it, and Polk goes on a cab ride from hell.

Back In The Saddle Again

We return from a brief hiatus. The Pelicans pick 14th in the draft, the Saints have OTA-fever, and LaToya represents American in South Korea.Theme song by Mike Wiebe of Riverboat Gamblers

Jazz Fest & Saints Draft

Tuesday May 02, 2023

Tuesday May 02, 2023

Kush becomes the king of Jazz Fest. The Saints have the greatest draft of all-time for a recording breaking 56th year in a row according to local media. The Pelicans don't care if you can watch them or not. People keep leaving Louisiana by the droves.

The Pelicans Season is Over

Tuesday Apr 18, 2023

Tuesday Apr 18, 2023

The Pelicans season is over. Griff speaks and says Zion wasn't cleared to even practice 3 on 3. Kush speaks and gives this season a failing grade. Premium Parking in New Orleans has a very sarcastic name. Oil is raining down on the citizens of Carrollton. LaToya is taking another trip.

The Pelicans use ChatGPT to release an update on Zion Williamson.
