The New Orleans Pelicans make the actual playoffs with inspiring performances against the Spurs and Clippers, thanks to big time shots from Brandon Ingram and...Larry Nance!? No one is expecting an easy time when facing the Suns, and the Pels got a quick dose of reality in Game 1, but glimpses of hope from a tired and young team give us a lot to look forward to in the series. We've got local segments covering a very bad first date, a nude reveler in on St. Charles, and a reason to can office birthday parties.Theme song by Mike Wiebe of Drakulas (on tour now!)
