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 injury woes have befallen the 2-1 Saints as they face division rival Tampa Bay with a questionable Derek Carr at QB and a highly dubious coaching staff behind him. What's that, Pelicans injuries? We haven't even gotten to the pre-season and we've got 3 Pels rotational players out for whatever constitutes an amount of time. The salt water is coming for us!

The New Orleans Saints are 2-0 behind a sturdy defense and slow to start offense. Kush gives a schedule breakdown (hint: they're only playing bad teams for a while), LaToya flies back to France to close her tab, and there's a wild Halloween display in Bucktown.Sponsored by The Garden Gates Landscape CompanySponsored by Draftkings, use promocode POLKANDKUSH

The Saints win their season opener and have some kinks to work out. Brandon Ingram isn't signing an extension but don't panic. LaToya uses therapy words to let everyone else know how wrong they are. Kush goes on a few rants. Theme song by Mike Wiebe.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
