The Pelicans Season is Over 19.04.2023 57:17
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.

The Pelicans use ChatGPT to release an update on Zion Williamson. The Pelicans are also the hottest team in the league winning 8 of their last 10, and clench a play-in spot.

Dennis Allen’s Name Tag 30.03.2023 52:52
The Pelicans win five in a row before dropping one in Oakland, Dennis Allen gives a statement on Michael Thomas (he's still not 100% after 3 years off the field), and Drew Brees visits with some boring pals in Florida.
The Life & Times of Neuty the Nutria 22.03.2023 1:09:22
The Saints have made some moves this off-season including bringing in Jamaal Williams, Derek Carr, and some real bozos. The Pelicans cling to dear life, but amass a stunning 2 game win streak over some of the worst teams in the league. Will anyone be held accountable for the Pels meltdown this season or will it get swept under the rug? The LaToya recall officially ends, Neuty comes home, and so mu...

Confetti Cannon 17.02.2023 1:07:05
We fire a confetti cannon of joy directly into your face with an episode filled with the perils of navigating Mardi Gras. We've got ire for the clown show that is the New Orleans Saints, and the Pelicans are in need of some motivation.
Carr Crash 09.02.2023 1:08:43
The Pelicans look sharp in a 3 game win streak but the Zion timeline back continues to extend, the Saints aim for the middle, and a Popeye's customer gets a refund. ----more----Gambling Problem?

It’s Pelicans Deja Vu All Over Again 02.02.2023 1:00:22
The Pelicans losing streak continues but this isn't new territory for the team - Should they stay the course or make a crazy move? Sean Payton has found a new home in Denver and will be wearing even more North Face than usual. Mardi Gras is coming for the city, and so are car thieves! Buckle up, it's Polk & Kush.
We Need Zion 27.01.2023 1:04:14
The Pelicans have some kinks to work out, Willie gets tossed, Jose sparks it up, and Ingram returns, but one thing is for certain, this team needs Zion and fast. The Saints are gonna be sideline spectators during the draft, as Sean Payton remains unemployed, and LaToya "faces the nation" but mostly "avoids the questions" and the return of The Worst! ----more---- Gambling Problem? Call 877-8-HOPENY...
Clown Town U.S.A. 18.01.2023 57:52

Saints Need To Blow It Up - Pelicans Injuries Pile Up - Mel Gibson Mardi Gras 12.01.2023 1:04:52
The Saints follow up their worst, most boring season in recent memory with a bad decision to keep Dennis Allen, and there's still a giant question mark for a quarterback. The Pelicans keep finding ways to win while more players face injuries - When will Herb Jones be back? Does it matter if they give us a date? Mel Gibson is and then isn't the captain of Endymion and everyone (including us) has so...
Zion Williamson Injury - Tulane Wins The Cotton Bowl - A Folksy Doofus 06.01.2023 50:27
Zion Williamson injures his hamstring in Philly and will be evaluated in 3 weeks, can the Pels maintain? Will we ever see this team at full strength? Tulane claims the most exciting and important win in school history against the Heisman winner and USC. The Saints are definitely bringing back Dennis Allen whether we like it or not, and which websites are now asking for ID???

Andy Dalton’s Neon Hair & a Pels 45 Point Victory 22.11.2022 59:46
The Pelicans drop one to the best squad in the NBA but bounce back by demolishing the C or D-squad from Golden State while their star players sit. Upset that you dropped serious dime on the game but don't get to see Steph? You're not alone, and the NBA doesn't care. Andy Dalton glows a fiery red as the Saints trounce the Rams at home, and the return of The Worst. ----more---- If you or someone you...
Paul Giamatti in The Polk & Kush Movie 18.11.2022 57:49
Polk makes a couple of trips to the Blender to see a Zion-less Pelicans dismantle the Grizzlies and Bulls. Do we have any concerns about how good the Pels look without their young superstar!? It's a lot of fun seeing Trey Murphy develop more, and it's official: Jose Alvarado is GOOD. The Saints stink, Dennis Allen is gone (right?), and let's just see what Jameis can do with it. LaToya goes clothes...
Don’t Panic About The Pels! 10.11.2022 1:06:35
The Pelicans are doing just fine for a schedule that's had 8 road games, included a few injuries, and 3 overtime games - A gritty win in Chicago led by Brandon "Got That Dog In Him" Ingram and Zion gets the Pels back on track before a nice stand at home. There's a lot of fun energy surrounding the Green Wave as Tulane rises to 16 in the national polls, and a local favorite is back in grocery store...
This Dyson Doesn’t Suck 27.10.2022 1:03:52
New Orleans is a basketball city, now and forever. Football? That's a thing of the past. Let us look forward to the blessings bestowed upon us by the upstart, young gun Pelicans who showed a lot of heart in a overtime loss to the Jazz, and pulled out a scrappy win against the Mavs with a bubbling blender crowd. Dennis Allen rewards Andy Dalton with the starting spot despite having a healthy Jameis...
Pelicans, Jumanji, and Thursday Night Football 20.10.2022 1:05:50
The Pelicans live up to the hype with a dominating season opener against the Brooklyn Nets. The Saints fall to the Burrow-led Bengals, but hope to regain some ground in Arizona amidst injuries, suspect defense, and average QB play. I'd rather watch every Thursday Night Football game this season again than see another John Kennedy or Steve Scalise TV ad. Let's party! Polk & Kush is sponsored by Cre...
The Swiss Army Man Comes Alive! 12.10.2022 59:28
It's officially Taysom time in the Superdome as the swiss army knife has a hall of fame performance to help close out a tight one against a revived Geno Smith and the Seahawks. The Pelicans continue their undefeated pre-season only adding fuel to the burning hype-fire that we are gladly warming ourselves with. No one reads these. What am I talking about? There's a shark attack off the Louisiana co...
Saints Lose in London, Pels Soar in The Windy City 06.10.2022 57:25
Andy Dalton and the New Orleans Saints play their best football of the season but still drop one in London. The New Orleans Pelicans host an open practice with the newly transformed Zion, then proceed to unleash in Chicago for the preseason. John Kennedy is a clown, swimming in potholes is frowned upon, and LaToya is gonna pay us back (eventually). Polk & Kush is sponsored by Crescent Canna (use p...
It’s Pelicans Media Day! 29.09.2022 59:10
The Pelicans shine and show out at media day as the hype for the upcoming season reaches critical mass.
