It’s Clown Time 21.09.2022 1:07:32
The Saints make too many mistakes to hold the Bucs off in New Orleans and we might be seeing a switch at QB sooner than later if Jameis continues to fracture vertebrae. The Pelicans have a Euro MVP on their bench in Willy Hernangomez, and slice into the very long off-season with an open practice! Tulane "shocks" Kansas State, LSU makes a statement in the fourth, and a clown is arrested at Dairy Qu...

Dennis Allen comes away with the victory in his head coaching debut despite some questionable play calling and clock management.

City of Brotherly Punches 01.09.2022 59:30
CJGJ is packed up and headed off to Philly and the Saints media seems to think that's fine. Will the highly touted defense suffer? Did New Orleans get anything in return?

Entourage, Anime, and Preseason Football 24.08.2022 59:18
Ian Book does his best impression of a Crash Test Dummy, the Saints defense looks to win games and hopefully has some offensive help from a stacked lineup, Kevin Durant stays put, and LaToya is on the go. Polk comes out of the anime closet, and Kush needs some sleep!
Just 50 Blocks Off 10.08.2022 1:04:23
Saints Football is (almost) back! Kush goes to Training Camp, Jameis tweaks his foot, the Pelicans are still thinking about Kevin Durant and the family that slays together stays together. Sponsored by Ale on Oak at 8124 Oak St! Music by Mike Wiebe of Riverboat Gamblers & Drakulas
French Quarter Follies 28.07.2022 1:03:54
Polk & Kush paint the French Quarter red with laughs and gaffes and some spicy entertainment. The Saints kick off training camp with appearances by Michael Thomas, and an excited and grateful Jameis Winston. LaToya has spent 80k+ in 6 months on lavish, tax-payer funded vacations, and is Disney really the most magical place on earth? All this and much, much more. Theme song by Mike Wiebe of Drakula...
Summer League Makes Me Feel Fine 14.07.2022 1:01:41
The Pelicans have a disappointing Summer League start with injuries to EJ Liddell and Dyson Daniels, but will the regular season be affected by any of it? Marshon Lattimore gets some recognition from ESPN and Jameis Winston begins throwing without a brace. Edwin Edward’s widow has a type (nearing the great beyond), the candles at Goop are dangerous, and everything else you’ve come to expect from P...
Zion Signs The Extension 07.07.2022 1:00:55
The haters have been silenced as Zion signs a 5 year contract extension with no player option, and that isn't the only big news as the Pelicans have rumblings regarding a trade for Kevin Durant. Is it worth the risk? Is there a risk? Is it possible? We'll take a dive into all scenarios + wacky local news stories like LaToya partying at Essence, the city misspelling its own name in front of the Vic...
Honky Tonk Badonka Dunk 30.06.2022 1:01:52
Kush visits Nashville and regales us with tale of Kid Rock's bar's interesting rules. Polk doesn't have any local grievances for once. The Pelicans gear up to send some prominent players to Vegas to hit the pine with truck drivers, meanwhile the Saints send Trautman to a farm upstate (tight end university) and the city surveys its citizens to see if they think New Orleans is headed in the right di...
Pelicans Draft Day 24.06.2022 58:40
The Pelicans pick up an Australian version of Herb Jones and decide to stick with Bally for their streaming needs. LaToya does what she encourages citizens to do - take the law into their own hands in a concert bathroom. Love is in the air on Canal street, and we're all gonna go to jail for being jerks online. Sponsored by Ale on Oak, with over 30 beers on tap, a full menu, and friendly staff, it'...
From The Bottoms to the Top 15.06.2022 1:09:13
In this NSFW laugh-filled spectacle, the dynamic duo traverse the murky flooded streets of the city to discuss Zion finding out it's fun to stay at the YMCA, the Pelicans newfound team personalities and how important it is for Zion to mesh with those, LaToya trying to find out who's in charge of Lakeview, and Postmates helps us understand the best diet for Pride Month. Polk & Kush is sponsored by...
Click Three Times 02.06.2022 1:06:33
The Pelicans are gearing up for the draft, but how much is anyone paying attention? CJ McCollum lands a spot at ESPN as a likable version of Drew Brees and Jose keeps sneaking up on guys. Just like Elvis, Michael Thomas is in the building! And so is Jameis! It's OTAs, baby. We've got drunk driving NOPD, we've got Entergy being the ultimate company for Pride month, and we've got a particularly terr...
Just A Rather Very Intelligent System (J.A.R.V.I.S.) 19.05.2022 1:05:08
The obvious solution to the roaming inner-city ATV gangs is to release our drunk driving city councilmen on them, Jarvis Landry adds relief to the Saints receiving room, and the Pels don't win the lottery. Sponsored by Ale on Oak, over 30 beers on tap with a spacious uptown patio of plenty of TVs showing the local games. Theme music by Mike Wiebe of Riverboat Gamblers & Drakulas
Islands in the Streaming Services 12.05.2022 56:07
The Pelicans have some questions about streaming services and we don't want to deal with another expensive app! LaToya tweets from a climate convention in Miami (that she probably took a bio-diesel bus to), and a hot dog man is accosted. This episode is sponsored by Ale on Oak. Theme song by Mike Wiebe of Riverboat Gamblers, and Drakulas.
Honey Badger Just Takes What It Wants 04.05.2022 1:01:34
The boys head out to Jazz Fest, discuss Zion's readiness to sign an extension, the Saints nab The Honey Badger, and someone gets banned from twitter for goofing on the Mayor (it wasn't us!)

The Pelicans Ride Into The Sunset 29.04.2022 58:31
The Pelicans finish out their season at home against the best team in the NBA, gaining the respect of national media along the way. We speculate on the future of this team, what they can do to improve on and off the court, and if the city can keep the buzz going. The Saints have a busy day 1 at the NFL draft and look to win now. Elon Musk wants to build tunnels beneath New Orleans, the mayor has h...
Don’t Let The Suns Go Down On Me 19.04.2022 54:47
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 segme...
The Pelicans Play-In 13.04.2022 54:40
The Pelicans have a play-in game in the blender and we discuss the keys to victory as our boys go up against Pop's Spurs. What can you expect? Where do the Pels go from here? How the heck does this play-in even work? We've got all the answers, plus the christian power team, jazz fest, and much more. Theme song by Mike Wiebe of Drakulas, on tour now (drakulas.bandcamp.com)
How’s My Dunking? Call 1-800-Zion’s Back 06.04.2022 57:58
We discuss Zion’s step-dad calling into Jordy Colutta’s show to shed some light on where Zion is physically, mentally, and what his family thinks about New Orleans, Willie Green, and the Pelicans as a whole. The Saints get a few first-round picks from the Eagles and have more than a few holes to fill with them. An inflatable mayo jar is stolen and returned, but was it a publicity stunt by Big Corp...
Escape from L.A. 30.03.2022 57:48
The Pelicans do their best Will Smith impression by slapping the Lakers around, showing just how much resilience this team has gained under Willie Green. The Saints find a suitable back-up in Andy Dalton, but who's he gonna throw it to? The Taysom experiment is officially over in one aspect, as Dennis Allen confirms he'll be playing as a tight end. This week's sponsor: Ale on Oak at 8124 Oak St. i...
Goblin Mode 24.03.2022 1:03:03
Zion dunks on Instagram and sends a message to the Pelicans that he wants to play, but is it the best move for the team with only 10 games to go? The Saints stay the course with Jameis Winston for at least 2 more seasons. Plus, all your favorite segments, local news, the definition of "Goblin Mode" and so much more. This week's sponsor: Ale on Oak at 8124 Oak St. in Uptown New Orleans, with over...
The Ides of March Madness 16.03.2022 1:06:24
The Pelicans are in a bit of a slump as Willie Green and company try to get back on track. The Saints are taking a look at DeShaun Watson and we question if it's worth the risk to an organization with plenty of controversy in its past. The city of New Orleans asks YOU how much you trust them! Potholes, Elden Ring, and more! Theme song by Mike Wiebe of Drakulas and Riverboat Gamblers.
We Survived Mardi Gras 09.03.2022 56:09
Polk & Kush have survived the first real Mardi Gras in a few years! The Pelicans did not survive a monster Jokic in OT and get blown out by the Grizzlies without Brandon Ingram. Zion returns to New Orleans to frighten some local pet store employees, and LaToya gets an infrastructure-based promotion! This week's sponsor: Ale on Oak | Located at 8124 Oak Street in Uptown with a spacious patio and ov...
Seeing Redick Again 23.02.2022 1:07:36
JJ Redick calls out Zion on First Take calling him “detached” and his behavior “insane” - Whoa mama!!! and we’re just getting started. Also, LSU is packing it out in Baton Rouge, LaToya Cantrell is ignoring her own mask mandate, and skiers are freezing their wieners off. This week's sponsor: Ale on Oak | Located at 8124 Oak Street in Uptown with a spacious patio and over 30 beers on tap. Theme son...
