  • It’s funny because it’s true

    *Update: please make a new ep and talk about how the nba media is crapping all over the 2025 Pels draft strategy!* Polk and Kush do an amazing podcast about sports in general, but mainly focused on New Orleans. They bring a real Confederacy of Dunces point of view to the very silly things that happen in the city, both on the field and in the streets.
