Group Chat Podcast

🎙️ Group Chat Podcast – S2, E3 Segment: “What Would You Rather?” (aka Psychological Warfare) Welcome back to the most unserious serious debate on the internet. This week, the Group Chat takes a simple game and turns it into a full-blown argument that somehow includes: questionable life choices unnecessary confidence and at least one person defending something they absolutely should not be defending 💀 The question sounds easy… until it’s not: Would you rather deal with love bugs that bite like gnats… OR have love bug season last 12 months a year? Yeah… exactly. What starts as a harmless “would you rather” quickly spirals into: 👉 people changing their answers mid-sentence 👉 someone getting irrationally angry about bugs 👉 and a debate that lasts WAY longer than it should No facts. No research. Just vibes, bad takes, and elite-level arguing. 🎧 If you’ve ever yelled at your friends over something completely pointless… this segment is for you. 👇 Drop your answer in the comments (and be ready to get roasted for it)

🎸 Group Chat Podcast (S2, E3) – Mount Rushmore: Best Dad Rock Band of All Time This one got LOUD… and slightly aggressive 😂 The boys dive headfirst into the ultimate Dad Rock debate, where logic goes out the window and nostalgia takes over. It starts off simple… until one pick sparks a full-blown barroom flashback: 🍻 A legendary story about “Big Steve” — the OG concert menace who would crush 1,000 beers and DEMAND AC/DC no matter who was on stage. Play it? You’re legends. Don’t? You’re TRASH. Simple. From there, it turns into a heated debate of hit-after-hit bands, including a passionate defense of Foreigner as the most underrated killers in classic rock history. 🎤 Is AC/DC the undisputed king of dad rock? 🎤 Is Foreigner actually the sneaky #1 pick? 🎤 And which bands are getting WAY too much credit?? No rules. No structure. Just grown men yelling about bands their dads played in the truck. 👇 Drop your Mount Rushmore of Dad Rock in the comments and be ready to defend it. #DadRock #ACDC #Foreigner #ClassicRock #MountRushmore #GroupChatPodcast #FunnyPodcast #Debate #FYP

Welcome back to Not Mott’s Mailbag… aka “We asked AI for questions and immediately regretted it.” Powered by pure chaos (and ChatGPT), this segment starts off innocent… and then goes completely off the rails. 🤯 WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT Would you want to know the exact date you die… or just live in blissful ignorance? What age officially makes you “old” (and why everyone over 40 is catching strays) Would you rather: Stop brushing your teeth 😬 OR stop wiping your ass 🤢 Cajun uncles vs high school coaches trash talk debate The most overrated Louisiana festivals (we said what we said) Why outsiders absolutely ruin crawfish culture And somehow… we debated whether a nutria could beat 50 crawfish 🚨 THEN IT GOT WEIRD… FAST Because this is where things spiraled: “If aliens landed in Lafourche… what confuses them first?” “What would you change rain into?” (someone said tacos… terrible idea) “Would you be late forever or early forever?” (anxiety kicked in) AND THEN… We somehow ended up in: 👉 The most insane hypothetical legal case ever 👉 A full debate about Siamese twins, marriage, and custody 👉 And a conversation that probably gets us banned in 3 countries   💀 BOTTOM LINE This segment has: ✔ Zero structure ✔ Questionable morals ✔ Life decisions you should NOT follow ✔ And at least 3 moments where we should’ve stopped talking But didn’t. 🎧 WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH If you like: Random debates Dark humor Louisiana chaos And friends arguing like idiots This is your episode.

The Group Chat Podcast is BACK… and this episode went completely off the rails. We start with the NFL Draft and immediately realize the Saints are building a hospital roster instead of a football team. If your WR1 and WR2 need matching hospital beds… is it even a rebuild anymore?? Then we jump into the NBA playoffs where: OKC is apparently unbeatable The Knicks are doing Knicks things And somehow we’ve all watched a total of 6 minutes combined So yeah… expert analysis as always. BUT THEN… We get into Bayou Brawling weekend and things escalate FAST: A guy fought with no teeth and no mouthpiece (yes, seriously) A main event ended in a DQ that nobody understands Fans nearly caused a full-on riot And the night ended with police escorts and “don’t leave the room” warnings Just your normal Friday/Saturday in Louisiana. Oh—and somewhere in the middle of all this: We debated Saved by the Bell trivia like it mattered Argued about pizza sauce And questioned if the Pelicans should just… move cities 🎧 SEGMENTS IN THIS EPISODE Saints draft reactions (aka medical evaluations) NBA playoff frauds & contenders Bayou Brawling recap + Zane Marks controversy Mount Rushmore + What Would You Rather Random chaos that somehow makes sense 🧠 BOTTOM LINE This episode has: ✔ Bad takes ✔ Great takes ✔ Fights ✔ Almost fights ✔ And zero structure Just how GCP likes it.

The Group Chat Podcast is BACK and completely off the rails in Episode 2. No script, no plan… just vibes and chaos. Casey and Damien hold it down with a full Down The Bayou sports rundown, breaking down All-Region teams, coaching shakeups, and why the talent around here is just built different. If you love local hoops talk… you’re getting it. If you don’t… you’re still getting it. Then things take a turn. Freezer Burnt joins the show 24 HOURS before fight night and proceeds to: Call out his opponent Guarantee a win (respectfully disrespectfully) Break down his “4-piece combo” like it’s a Popeyes special Confirm that half of Lockport is pulling up We also get into: LSU panic season (for no reason as usual) Wrestling takes that may or may not be accurate Random ChatGPT questions that spiral the show into nonsense And somehow… Burger King sponsorship opportunities At some point, we go from serious sports talk… to debating life, fighting, and why some people probably shouldn’t be allowed near a boxing ring. Moral of the episode: If you came for structure… you’re in the wrong place. If you came for laughs, local takes, and pure Group Chat energy… welcome home.

Season 2 of the Group Chat Podcast is officially HERE — and we’re coming back stronger, faster, and way more consistent. Gone are the 5-hour marathons… we’re bringing you tighter episodes packed with everything you love: sports, stories, debates, and straight DTB energy. In this premiere episode, the crew is back together and hitting on everything: 🏌️ Masters recap — Rory McIlroy goes back-to-back and holds off Scottie Scheffler 🍻 Wild weekend stories (including one of the greatest DTB wedding menus ever) 🧠 Debates on viral moments, fan behavior, and “bro code vs real life” 🔥 And the return of classic Group Chat chaos 🚂 MAIN EVENT: Zane “The Train” Marks Interview We sit down with one of the most exciting fighters to ever come out of the Bayou — Zane “The Train” Marks — as he talks: His upcoming fight in Gretna His journey through adversity and redemption Getting back in the ring after everything he’s been through Why he’s fighting with a whole new mindset From local fight stories to national sports takes, this episode sets the tone for what Season 2 is all about: 👉 More consistency. More energy. Same unfiltered Group Chat. Tap in, share it, and let’s roll.

This week’s Mount Rushmore segment, proudly sponsored by Precision Agri-Spray, asked a simple question with an impossible answer: 👉 What are the GOAT Louisiana sports team seasons of all time? What followed was pure chaos. From the obvious (2019 LSU football) to the deeply personal (1998 undefeated Tulane, 2000 Saints, 98 Saints for reasons no one can defend), this Mount Rushmore had everything: • Childhood core memories • Questionable stat checks • Saints trauma • LSU baseball rule-changing dominance • CP3 lobs, Gorilla Ball, cha-ching Saints, and bayou high school legends • And at least one pick made strictly out of spite This is not a rankings show. This is not objective. This is a group therapy session disguised as a Mount Rushmore. If you agree with the list — you’re lying. If you hate the list — perfect, that’s the point. 🎧 Sponsored by Precision Agri-Spray 💬 Argue with us in the comments ⚜️ God bless… and go Tarps

🚨 DO NOT TAIL THIS PARLAY… UNLESS YOU ENJOY LOSING MONEY WITH FRIENDS. 🚨 Welcome to Group Chat Podcast: Pick’Em & Parlay, where: – We build cursed 4-leg parlays we know won’t hit – We hold fake court over Google forms – And grown men beg a spinning wheel to decide their fate. This week’s episode is absolute degeneracy: 🏈 The College Parlay from Hell The boys put together a 4-leg college football parlay and literally tell the audience: “This is the one to NOT put in your parlay at home.” Picks include: OU to beat Mizzou by more than a touchdown 🥴 UConn -7.5 behind a QB named Joe Fagnano that nobody had heard of 10 minutes earlier Jacksonville State -1.5 in a “small-town Saturday night” Sun Belt showdown North Texas vs Rice over 55.5 because “your boy Morris scores a lot” All that for +1361… aka a $5 donation to FanDuel with fake hope attached. 🏈 NFL Parlay: Truckin’, Shuckin’ & Bad Life Choices Then they head to the NFL and it somehow gets dumber: 49ers -7 vs Panthers because “they’ll gold-mine their way to a win” Jaguars -2.5 vs Cardinals as the “favorite pick”… which guarantees it loses Tyler Shough over 8.5 rushing yards because “he’s gonna be running for his life” Chase Brown over 53.5 rushing yards since “he’ll hit that by halftime” By the end, Nick proudly admits he’s basically made a weekly tithe to FanDuel. ⚖️ THE COURT CASE: Google Form vs On-Air Pick We get an actual fake trial because: – Casey picked the Eagles on the sheet 🦅 – But “AI doctored video” had him saying Lions on air 🦁 So now the show is arguing: “Does the Google form count as the contract… or does the sports media personality’s actual on-air pick count more?” Tommy goes full attorney, Casey goes full “objection,” the Wizard goes full “both of you are losers,” and the Wheel becomes the judge, jury, and executioner. 🎡 THE WHEEL OF DESTINY (AND PAIN) – The Wheel decides who’s right – The Wheel decides Chiefs vs Colts – The Wheel decides Georgia Tech vs Pitt – The Wheel decides who gets to brag for 24 hours in the group chat If you’ve ever screamed “RIGGED!” at your TV, you will spiritually connect with this segment. 🐯 LSU vs Western Kentucky & Saints vs Falcons Meltdown They break down: LSU -21.5 vs Western Kentucky, with half the panel terrified of Van Buren at QB and the other half just cheering for the defense to drag them across the finish line Falcons vs Saints, with Shough slander, “let’s get shucked up” jokes, and a full political monologue featuring LaToya vs Stacey Abrams for absolutely no reason Somehow this all ends in overtime scenarios, last-second field goals, and a rant about “some jackass on Facebook” taking pictures of fans in opposing jerseys. All backed by the official sponsors of chaos: Buzz Off Mosquito Control, Down South Cards & Bats, Lafourche Concert & Events Club, DTB Clothing, Blue Boot Foundation, Martin’s AC & Electric, Neil’s Small Engine, Performance Automotive & Accessories, Better Call Badeaux, and Precision Agra Spray. If you like: ✅ Horrible gambling logic ✅ Fake court cases over pick’em rules ✅ A wheel deciding your sports happiness ✅ Quotes like “lock up the puppies” and “truckin’ and shuckin’” 🎧 Hit play on this week’s “Pick’Em & Parlay” and tag your friend who thinks he’s a sharp but is really just Nick donating to FanDuel every week. #GroupChatPodcast #PickEmAndParlay #FadeUs #WheelCourt #TruckinAndShuckin #LockUpThePuppies

🗿 Mount Rushmore: Athletes Who Looked Out of Shape… But Cooked Everybody Anyway Presented by Precision AgraSpray (they spray crops, not hamstrings) If you’ve ever watched sports and thought: “There’s no way that dude runs faster than me…” and then he drops 30, hits 3 homers, or knocks someone into 1947 — this episode is for you. This week, the boys debate the greatest athletes who looked like they’d lose a footrace to a recliner but STILL dominated their sport. And yes, feelings were hurt. Muting occurred. Google was abused. Top moments include: 🍕 Charles Barkley – “Round Mound of Rebound,” ate like eight pizzas at a time and still baptized people in the paint. 🍔 Cecil Fielder – The Detroit Tigers legend who looked like he trained at Golden Corral and still smashed 50 homers. 🚬 John Daly – Golfed with diet soda in one hand and America's respect in the other. 🍺 Babe Ruth – Apparently only 215 lbs, which means either his scale was a liar or 1920s hotdogs had steroids in them. 🥱 Nikola Jokic – Moves like he just woke up from a nap but is the best basketball player since Kobe. 🥃 David Wells – Pitched a perfect game looking like he ate the other pitcher. 🍩 Bartolo “Big Sexy” Colon – Hit a home run once and the internet shut down. 🍞 Jared Lorenzen – The Hefty Lefty, the Pillsbury Throwboy, an American hero. RIP. 🧀 Cici Sabathia – Captain Cheeseburger himself. 🍀 Butterbean – The Alabama pound-for-pound king of four-round brawls. ⚽ Diego Maradona – 5’2”, 275 lbs, and still better at soccer than all of us combined. Honorable mentions included: Refrigerator Perry, Moe Vaughn, Escalade from AND1, Sebastian Janikowski (the only kicker built like a nightclub bouncer), and even Donald Trump, champion golfer in his own mind. 🔥 Arguments broke out. 🔥 People got muted. 🔥 Someone said Babe Ruth wasn't fat enough (disrespectful but hilarious). 🔥 Case law was nearly cited. If you’ve ever believed deep in your heart that you too could be a professional athlete if they’d just let you warm up properly, this segment is your truth. ➡️ Tap play. Laugh. Send to a friend built like Bartolo Colon. #MountRushmore #ThiccLegends #BuiltDifferent #GroupChatPodcast

🎙️ Group Chat Podcast: Coach Jeremiah Gray Joins the Show – Thibodaux Middle Basketball, Recruiting, and LSU Rumors This week’s Group Chat Podcast dives deep into middle school basketball madness and college football chaos, featuring one of the most respected middle school coaches and sports media personality in South Louisiana — Coach Jeremiah Gray of Thibodaux Middle School and G Sportz. 🏀 Thibodaux Basketball Talk: Coach G joins the show to break down his boys’ and girls’ basketball squads, both loaded with talent and primed for deep runs this season. He talks about balancing two teams, the challenges of coaching doubleheaders, and why his motto is simple: “Everybody eats.” Girls: experienced, gritty, and built for big moments. Boys: deep, versatile, and possibly one of the most talented rosters he’s ever coached. His secret? Creating “opportunity periods” in practice to keep competition healthy and attitudes right. 🌎 Recruiting & Real Talk: Coach G also shares his insider take on the new world of high school recruiting. From NIL chaos to shrinking college rosters, he stresses the importance of “just getting your foot in the door” — whether that’s D1, D2, Juco, or NAIA. His message to athletes: “Go where you’re wanted, dominate, and they’ll come calling.” He even drops some major LSU tea — including reports of Nick Saban being in Baton Rouge and what that might mean for the Tigers’ next head coach. 👀 🎧 Also in this Episode: Coach Damien St.Pierre previews his Golden Meadow Lady Lions 2025 season opening jamboree game and admits he just wanted to start last week and play anybody with a gym. The crew debates if LSU’s next coach could be someone nobody’s even talking about — from Kelvin Sheppard to… Jimbo Fisher?! (Lord help us.) Plus, a well-deserved shoutout to Thibodaux Middle’s entire athletic staff for creating one of the most professional and welcoming game-day environments in the parish. 📣 Sponsors: Big thanks to Buzz Off Mosquito Control, Down South Cards & Bats, Lafourche Concert & Events Club, DTB Clothing, Martin’s AC & Electric, Neil’s Small Engine, Riley John’s Blue Boot Foundation, Performance Automotive & Accessories, the Law Office of Tommy J. Badeaux, and Precision Agra Spray – the official sponsor of our Mount Rushmore segment. 👀 Final Take: This episode perfectly blends local sports pride, coaching insight, and LSU conspiracy energy — everything you’d expect Down the Bayou. 🎧 Stream now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and wherever you get your podcasts. #GroupChatPodcast #DownTheBayou #MiddleSchoolBasketball #CoachG #ThibodauxMiddle #LSUFootball #NIL #BayouSports

🎙️ Group Chat Podcast: Lafourche Parish Middle School Football – Awards Episode It’s awards season Down the Bayou! 🏆 The boys break down the best of the best from the 2025 Lafourche Parish Middle School Football season, naming Offensive and Defensive MVPs from every corner of the parish — Down the Bayou, Central Lafourche, and Up the Bayou — with a little friendly banter (and plenty of bragging rights) along the way. Here’s the rundown: Down the Bayou MVPs (Golden Meadow & LCO): 🏈 Offensive MVP: Carter Wayne Plaisance — an absolute workhorse for Golden Meadow. 💪 Defensive MVP: Jayvn Allen — lived in opponents’ backfields all season. Central Lafourche MVPs (Lockport, Raceland, Bayou Blue): ⚡ Offensive MVP: Noah Wiley — the Lockport QB who led his team to a Parish Championship. 🔥 Defensive MVP: Tre’Quan Smith — Raceland’s big-play machine and future two-way star. Up the Bayou MVPs (Thibodaux, E.D. White, Sixth Ward): 🚀 Offensive MVP: Stuart Hildenbrand — E.D. White’s Swiss Army knife who scored at will. 🛡️ Defensive MVP: Jovante Burtis — Thibodaux’s seventh-grade wrecking ball up front. The crew also looks ahead to next week’s Parish-wide MVP and Coach of the Year episode — plus a few shoutouts to the coaches shaping the next generation of Tarpons, Trojans, and Cardinals.

Group Chat Podcast: Pick’Em & Parlay — The Week Turtle Got Fired Featuring: Coach Brian Callais & One Empty Chair (that may get thrown) Welcome back to the most dysfunctional gambling show on the internet — the Group Chat Podcast: Pick’Em & Parlay, proudly sponsored by Buzz Off Mosquito Control, Down South Cards & Bats, Lafourche Concert & Events Club, DTB Clothing, Martin’s AC & Electric, Neil’s Small Engine, Riley John’s Blue Boot Foundation, Performance Automotive, Better Call Badeaux, and Precision Agra Spray (the official sponsor of our collective delusion). This week starts with breaking news: 🚨 Turtle has officially been FIRED. Not “on leave.” Not “stepping away.” Not “exploring other opportunities.” FIRED — for the crime of… not sending in his picks. Twice. Brian Kelly wishes his buyout was this clean. With Turtle gone, Coach Brian Callais steps into the studio, and the boys immediately try to put together the world’s saddest $5 parlay — a parlay that might hit for the first time in human history simply because Tommy isn’t allowed to participate. (He’s 0–ever. A perfect record.) We’ve got: 🏈 Damien betting like he’s trying to speed-run bankruptcy 🏈 Nick still insisting the Broncos are the best team in football 🏈 Tommy eating popcorn mid-show like he’s watching the downfall of mankind 🏈 The Wizard choosing teams based on mayoral scandals and which cities he “loves being in, Chaz and Chad.” 🏈 Coach Callais trying to be the adult in the room but getting dragged into khaki slander Then it’s on to the Pick’Em — where the standings are tighter than a Happy Meal budget at Turtle’s house. Tommy somehow has a one-game lead (must be cheating), the Wizard is powered by conspiracy theories, Nick is dropping the weekly Kiss of Death, and Nick's Wheel picks LSU so it doesn’t get Clintoned by Arkansas. And yes: ⭐ We discuss whether Turtle will still be allowed to wrestle in April. Spoiler: It’s not looking good. By the end: – The guys have turned Bobby Petrino into a WWE villain – Nick curses Baker Mayfield & Harlem Berry  – And the Wizard declares his loyalty to Latoya Cantrell for absolutely no reason whatsoever This is Pick’Em and Parlay — where the takes are hot, the bets are bad, and the HR department doesn’t exist. 🎧 Tune in, laugh, judge us, and blame Tommy when the parlay inevitably dies. 🐢 R.I.P. Turtle (the employment, not the human… we think).

🎙️ Group Chat Podcast: “Put Us in Running Time” We fire up Pick’em with a fresh sponsor roll call (shoutout Precision Agra Spray & the whole crew) and a brand-new “startup” you didn’t ask for: Turtle 2 Tommy Zero—specializing in domestic disputes & McChicken bets 😂. Then it’s mayhem: Florida @ Kentucky — interim bump vs. Big Blue trap game (plus a surprise political detour because… us). BYU @ Texas Tech — are the Cougs for real or is Cinderella turning into a pumpkin? Also: yes, soaking gets explained. You’re welcome, Internet. Eagles @ Packers — is Green Bay’s bounce-back real or will Don Henley and friends run the show? Saints @ Panthers — half the panel picks New Orleans to “win out,” then immediately chooses Carolina. Peak Group Chat energy. LSU @ Bama — post-BK vibes, Nussbus turbulence, and a Martin Van Buren cameo (historically accurate height, spiritually inaccurate optimism). Finally, we assemble a chaos parlay you should absolutely not mortgage the house for: CFB: Ohio State to cover a galaxy spread, Oregon by a TD, Notre Dame by a million, and A&M over Mizzou. NFL: Jags beat the Texans, Seahawks -6.5, Baker 2+ TDs, Jets–Browns under. If it hits, buy a family meal. If it misses… enjoy your McFlurry (because Hell just froze over). Come for the picks, stay for the wheel’s curse, the Kiss-of-Death, and the running joke that our parlays are charitable donations to FanDuel. 💸🏈

🏈💥 Big Blue Breakdown: Week 10 – Tarpons Close the Regular Season + Lady Tarpons Keep Rolling 💥🏐 Presented by Buzz Off Mosquito Control, DTB Clothing, Precision Agra Spray, and the rest of our bayou dream team of sponsors. The regular season finale is HERE — and the South Lafourche Tarpons are headed to the river to battle Lutcher with playoff seeding on the line. 🐟⚡ • Meathead looked like vintage Meathead last week and he’ll need to be again — Lutcher’s nose guard has BJ calling him “the best D-lineman I’ve ever seen.” • Tarpons defense dominated vs. Ellender. Can they do it again against one of the fastest teams in the state? • Thibodaux finally shut Casey up (for now) after beating Terrebonne — but can they really go toe-to-toe with Destrehan this week? 👀 • Plus: playoff math, the LHSAA formula that everyone hates but somehow works, and a full Bayou region playoff outlook. Meanwhile, the Lady Tarpons volleyball team is out here bulldozing Morgan City and punching their ticket closer to Lafayette-bound — even without one of their top hitters. Coach Cheramie’s crew is spiking through the parish like a hurricane with knee pads. 🎧 Tune in for all things Bayou sports: the playoff picture, the trash talk, and the kind of logic only South Lafourche fans will understand. #GroupChatPodcast #BigBlueBreakdown #TarponNation #SouthLafourche #BayouSports #LadyTarpons #DownTheBayou

“Grow a Pair: Pet Peeves, Facebook Fights & Furious Drive-Thrus” The boys are back and absolutely unhinged in this one. From old folks doing NASCAR laps on Highway 308 to the Taco Bell robot screwing up Nick’s order, nobody’s safe. Tommy kicks things off by roasting “plane-standers” who jump up before the gate opens (“Where you going, Sue? You ain’t first class!”), and it only escalates from there. Then comes the internet warzone: joint Facebook accounts, fake names like God’s Son Jones, and couples still commenting “we had fun, Bob” under the same profile. One word: grow a pair. Add in unseasoned fried seafood, travel-ball fundraisers, and the eternal struggle of clicking on every damn bicycle in CAPTCHA, and you’ve got chaos, caffeine, and Cajun truth-telling at its finest. 🦐 Sponsored by Precision Agrispray — the only crop dusters brave enough to go where the others can’t. 🎧 Listen for: “Turtleneck furious” levels of drive-thru rage The most honest Mount Rushmore of Pet Peeves you’ll ever hear A round-table roast of everyone’s Facebook habits #GroupChatPodcast #DownTheBayou #PetPeeves #PodcastComedy #LouisianaHumor #GrowAPair #PrecisionAgrispray

🚨 THE MOUNT RUSHMORE OF MID IS HERE. Sponsored by Precision Agra Spray — they do crop dusting where regular crop dusters can’t reach… kind of like this podcast. This week, the boys go full petty philosopher mode and draft the most perfectly average things on planet Earth. No rules. No mercy. All mid. 💬 Inside the chaos: • Nick declares concerts are overrated — “I’d rather drum on my steering wheel alone like a civilized man.” • Damien calls 11 p.m. the most useless time of day and says Berwick-to-Youngsville is “geographically mid.” • Nick launches an unprovoked war on Thursday Night Football. • The crew unites to roast self-checkout, and the LHSAA — calling it a “sugar sponge with a price tag.” • Bonus round: Europe, Brian Kelly, Andy Dalton, and oxygen all get labeled mid. Somewhere between deep thoughts and dumb logic, someone said: “You’re drunk inside a drum — that’s what it’s like being in Tiger Stadium.” And honestly, that might be the most accurate football take of the year. 🎧 It’s the Mount Rushmore of Mid — where opinions are bad, logic is worse, and Louisiana stays undefeated in nonsense. #GroupChatPodcast #DownTheBayou #MountRushmoreOfMid #KingCakeIsMid #LSU #PumpkinSpiceAintThatGood

🎙️ Not Mott’s Mailbag — Presented by the Lafourche Concerts & Events Club The boys are back answering the questions nobody else would dare ask in this week’s chaotic edition of Not Mott’s Mailbag — proudly brought to you by the fine folks who still throw better concerts than the Pelicans throw leads. This week’s inbox was loaded: 💌 Which Louisiana town are we evicting in exchange for a Buc-ee’s? 💬 Why does Galiano have two water towers — and are we in danger of running out of water or just patience? 🍴 What fair food needs to be banned forever? (Spoiler: White beans catch strays.) 🏀 How long would it take us to hit 10 free throws in a row? (We’re talking official “Knights of Columbus Free Throw Champion” level analysis here.) 🎃 Did Brennan really move Halloween again? The Parish President debate just got personal. 🏈 Burrow vs. Jayden Daniels — who do you trust with the game on the line? (Depends if Mom’s calling the plays.) 💧 Plus… our investigative journalism on whether you can swim in a water tower, Zion’s yearly “over/under 39 games” sadness, and the return of the legendary quote: “If Berwick becomes part of Texas, Texas’s economy tanks — and we get a Buc-ee’s out of it.” It’s Mailbag chaos, Down the Bayou edition — featuring white beans slander, parish politics, Buc-ee’s diplomacy, and a debate on glizzies at the fair that may never recover. 🎧 Stream Not Mott’s Mailbag now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube. Proudly sponsored by Lafourche Concerts & Events Club — keeping the parish entertained while the rest of us lose brain cells. #GroupChatPodcast #NotMottsMailbag #DownTheBayou #BuzzOff #WhiteBeansAreMid #BucEesTradeDeal #GoTarps

🎙️ Group Chat Podcast: Episode 23 — LSU Meltdown, Lane Kiffin Mania & Saints Sadness If you thought Halloween was scary, wait till you hear this one. Brian Kelly got fired. The Governor lost his mind on live TV. BK is out here talking about “morality clauses” and drinking 40s alone. And the Saints just handed the keys to Tyler Shough, officially entering their “what-if-we-tried-chaos” era. 👀 Inside the episode: The boys break down the wildest week in LSU history — buyouts, rumors, gossip, and who really wrote the morality clause. Tommy goes full legal analyst: “That’s not extortion — that’s just creative ethics.” The real question: “What does it say about college football when sin only matters after you blow a 4-point lead?” Casey says what we’re all thinking: “Life comes at you fast, Brian Kelly.” Lane Kiffin, Nick Saban, and even Coach O get thrown into the rumor blender — plus a little political chaos from Governor Landry, who somehow turned a firing into a Trump campaign ad. And yes, by the end we’re debating if Coach O could actually work at Tulane (spoiler: he’d get thrown out mid-interview). 🧠 Bonus chaos: Pelicans can’t score in the third quarter, the Saints might win one more game (maybe), and the boys somehow end up discussing NCAA Dynasty on PlayStation 5. 💀 Episode mood: Part ESPN, part TMZ, part Duck Dynasty. 🎧 Stream Group Chat Podcast: Episode 23 now on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcasts. Buckle up — it’s the only show where LSU, the Saints, and the Louisiana Governor all take L’s in the same hour. #GroupChatPodcast #DownTheBayou #LSU #BrianKelly #LaneKiffin #Saints #CoachO #GoTarps #BuzzOff

🎙️Group Chat Podcast — Lock ’Em Up: Week of Winners (Week 10) The Group Chat boys are back in the war room, chasing redemption and chaos in Week 9 of college and NFL football. Mayor Cantrell’s already on the TV, the iPad battery’s dying, and the Lock ’Em Up crew is firing off picks, parlays, and pure foolishness. 🧠 Pick ’Em Segment Five games. Three college. Two NFL. No mercy. College slate: Tulane vs UTSA, Vanderbilt vs Texas, Oklahoma vs Tennessee. NFL picks: Chiefs @ Bills and Saints @ Rams (with the boys riding the 14-point spread). The crew debates everything from Arch Manning’s concussion status to whether Latoya Cantrell is secretly from Los Angeles. Tommy rolls out the week’s “counselor picks,” Turtle gets five bonus games to make up for ghosting last week, and Nick’s Wheel of Doom somehow manages to go 2-3 again. 💰 The Parlay Table The team builds their five-leg “Vanderbilt Parlay of Pain” featuring: Georgia –7.5 vs Florida Ohio State –20.5 vs Penn State UCF vs Baylor OVER 59.5 Texas Tech +7 vs Kansas State Packers –12.5 vs Panthers A $5 bet to win $106, because responsible gambling is for someone else. Along the way, the guys create new math (“Saints 9 points = six field goals, three makes”), debate whether Diego Pavia should seek asylum in the NFL, and crown “Cuckington McFluff” as the honorary mascot of the week. Highlights & Hot Takes “Latoya Cantrell did not do it. Not guilty. Give me UTSA.” “Shuck is gonna get shook down.” — predicting the Saints’ LA meltdown. “This is the most Ed White-ass parlay we’ve ever made.” “We’re picking D3 games next week or I’m out.” 💥 Presented by our MVP sponsors: Buzz Off Mosquito Control • Down South Cards & Bats • LaFouche Concert & Events Club • DTP Clothing • Riley John’s Blue Boot Foundation • Martin’s A/C & Electric • Neil’s Small Engine • Performance Automotive & Accessories • Law Office of Tommy J.

Final week did not disappoint. Lockport closes a perfect season to become undisputed Parish Champions after a late-game stand vs. Raceland. Thibodaux nabs a statement win over ED White, Golden Meadow takes the DTB rivalry 14–6 over LCO, and 6th Ward handles Bayou Blue. We’re breaking it all down—how the Pirates flipped momentum, why Thibodaux surged, the key tackles and special teams that decided Golden Meadow–LCO, and what the “perfect ladder” standings mean for next year. 🏆 Championship Call-Ins on the Buzz Off Mosquito Control Line: • Jacob Roby, Head Coach, Lockport Pirates (Parish Champs) • Darby Bourgeois, Riley John’s Blue Boot Foundation & host of the Lockport Pirate Podcast • Derek Brunet, Head Coach, Golden Meadow Lions We go inside the film room on: How Lockport’s defense handled Raceland’s misdirection and what adjustments Coach Jacob Roby made after halftime. Raceland’s redemption arc, and why they still might’ve played their best football of the season in defeat. Then, it’s Thibodaux's statement win over E.D. White — a game that rewrote the standings and reminded everyone that the north end of the parish still runs deep with talent. We break why ED White’s late-season turnaround quietly made them the sleeper if a playoff existed. Next, the Down the Bayou rivalry stole headlines again as Golden Meadow edged LCO 14-6 in a game defined by defense, heart, and hometown pride. We talk through Carter Wayne Plaisance’s big-play impact, Hayden Guidry's big runs, Roddy John Gisclair’s return from injury, and the gritty lineman on both side of the ball for Golden Meadow that kept the Bulldogs at bay. Both teams left it all on the field — and both look primed for next season’s transition to South Lafourche. And don’t forget the 6th Ward squad, who wrapped up their season in style with a convincing win over Bayou Blue — proving once again that the Lafourche pipeline is as strong as ever.

🎙️ Group Chat Podcast: Big Blue Breakdown – Week 9 🏈 The Tarpons are rolling, and the records keep falling as South Lafourche gears up to host the Ellender Patriots on Thursday night under the lights. 🔥 This Week’s Breakdown: Josh Mack is one touchdown away from breaking Bobby J’s record and officially becoming the most decorated quarterback in South Lafourche history. The Tarpon offense — already the best in school history — continues to dominate, with new receiving and passing records falling every week. Draven Hughes stepping up big while Meathead returns on a pitch count for Senior Night. Jack Castaneda and Braxton Petrie back in the lineup — the Tarpons are finally at full strength heading into Week 9. The message? Put Ellender away early. No slow starts, no mercy rule snoozers like Morgan City last week (the second half lasted 20 minutes 😅). ⚡ Elsewhere Around the Bayou: Terrebonne vs. Thibodaux — a huge matchup in the area. Terrebonne looks like a dome contender, but can Thibodaux prove the power rankings wrong? John Curtis vs. Edna Karr — two Catholic League heavyweights square off for #1 in the state. Is this Carr’s year again, or can Curtis pull the upset? Tommy breaks down why being a good dad apparently means skipping Friday night football for pumpkin carving 🎃😂 💪 Sponsors powering Big Blue Breakdown: Buzz Off Mosquito Control • Down South Cards & Bats • LaFouche Concert & Events Club • DTP Clothing • Riley John’s Blue Boot Foundation • Martin’s A/C & Electric • Neil’s Small Engine • Performance Automotive & Accessories • Law Office of Tommy J.

 EPISODE 22 JUST DROPPED 🚨 The Group Chat Podcast is back and this one is OUT OF CONTROL: 🏈 LSU fans… y’all good? We’re melting down over LSU losing to Vanderbilt. Full Brian Kelly trial. Verdict: “Doesn’t fit the culture, soft, and he owes us an apology AND a motorcycle entrance.” Is this Les Miles 2.0: Win ugly, talk crazy, blame everyone but yourself? Can LSU actually beat Texas A&M and trick all of us into believing again? (Some of us say yes. Some of us say fire everybody.) 🏟 Saints Talk: Spencer Rattler on the hot seat. “Shift to Shuck” movement is officially on. Alvin Kamara: washed or loyal legend or both? Tommy is literally going to the Superdome in a Baker Mayfield jersey and says he’ll LEAVE if Baker plays bad. We’re not joking. We have witnesses. If you see him, please film “wrong game jackass” content. 📉 Betting Corner: We brag about going 5-1 last week and absolutely bodying the NFL parlay (Turtle didn’t pick so we’re counting him as 0, naturally). Live picks, live trash talk, live slander. “Nick’s Kiss of Death” debuts, so if you want to fade someone and retire early, we got you. We are absolutely still betting UCLA because we refuse to learn. 📚 College/NIL/Portal Insanity: Breaking down how the NCAA is now basically “bring your favorite pro and suit him up.” Tom Izzo says he still loves coaching but no longer respects the profession. (Mood.) Can an ex-G League dude just walk into college hoops? Apparently yes. At this point can Jamar Chase technically re-enroll at LSU and drop 200 on Florida? We’re asking real questions. 🏀 Pelicans & NBA Drama: Pels blow a 16-point lead because of course they did. Skinny Zion vs Fat Zion debate is officially on. Jeremiah Fears might actually be HIM. Victor Wembanyama is now 7’11”, knows kung fu, and is about to eat the Pelicans frontcourt alive. Oh also the FBI just casually arrested an NBA coach and accused guys of leaking injuries to the mafia. Totally normal league. 🔥 Plus: Casey had half the parish convinced he got SUSPENDED by the LHSAA. (He did not. The LHSAA is not his daddy. Please stop texting him “u ok bro?”) Tommy explains why he hates LSU, iPhones, and free thinking. Full scream match about population of Louisiana vs Florida because that’s where the show went somehow. Vintage phone talk: Sidekicks, BlackBerrys, the Motorola backflip, and getting beeped in class like it’s 2004.

This week’s episode of the Group Chat Podcast Pick'em is LIVE and it’s loaded 🤘 Then we get into the chaos: 🏈 Pick’em standings update: Casey sitting at 25-15 Tommy right behind Turtle didn’t even pick last week and might start calling NAIA games to catch up The Wizard went 0-5 and is in shambles Listener board still cooking (shoutout Robert P at 21-9 🔥) 🏟 College picks: Oklahoma vs Ole Miss (Lane Train derail or Nah?) Vanderbilt vs Missouri (is Vandy for real or just loud?) LSU vs Texas A&M in Death Valley (does “R. Kelly” survive another week?) Full-on yelling about who’s soft, who’s overrated, and who’s going to jail before kickoff 😂 🏈 NFL picks: Broncos vs Cowboys, Sean Payton vs Jerry World Saints vs Bucs (Baker vs the Dome, and how many snaps until the QB switch?) Parlay talk, player props, and straight-up gambling peer pressure 💸 Two parlays built on air: College football parlay with lines, spreads, and hate NFL parlay with Josh Allen yards, McCaffrey anytime TD, Bucs -4.5, Bills by a tuddy And of course: 🔮 “Nick’s Kiss of Death” pick of the week (UCLA + the points 😬). History says fade him at your own risk. This is Bayou sports talk the way it’s supposed to sound — petty, emotional, and dangerously confident. Group Chat Podcast now on all platforms.

🎙️ Big Blue Breakdown: Week 8 | The Group Chat Podcast It’s feeling like fall and football’s heating up Down the Bayou! The Group Chat crew breaks down another wild week in South Lafourche sports — from the Tarpons’ 55–28 win over Assumption to major district shakeups, recruiting buzz, and one hilarious rumor about Casey supposedly getting “suspended” by the LHSAA (spoiler: he definitely wasn’t). 🏈 Highlights this week: The Tarpons’ high-powered offense keeps rolling despite their coach sitting in the stands — is this the best in school history? Terrence Pitre explodes for 200+ yards and picks up his first college offer from Arkansas–Monticello QB Josh Mack closing in on every passing record in school history District realignment news: Lutcher and Vanderbilt out, Tarpons officially moving to Division II Lady Tarpon Volleyball clinches first-ever outright district championship and eyes a deep playoff run Local roundup: South Terrebonne, E.D. White, and more from around the Bayou And yes… Casey clears the air on the “LHSAA suspension” that had half the parish texting him last week Plus, the guys talk recruiting paths, JUCO opportunities, and how the new district makes South Lafourche football even more dangerous heading into 2026. Sponsored by Buzz Off Mosquito Control, Down South Cards & Bats, DTP Clothing, Blue Boot Foundation, Neil’s Small Engine, Tommy J. Badeaux Law Office, and more. 🔥 Big Blue Breakdown — your home for local sports talk, South Lafourche pride, and Bayou football vibes. 📍 Follow the Group Chat Podcast on YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok for more laughs, highlights, and community stories every week.

🎙️ Group Chat Podcast – Not Mott’s Mailbag (EP 21) Brought to you by LaFouche Concert & Events Club – where questions get weird, answers get worse, and somebody’s guaranteed to say something they’ll regret. This week’s Mailbag takes us from men buying their own rings 💍 (spoiler: don’t) to whether high-speed internet is worth pooping in a porta potty forever 💩 (spoiler: absolutely). Tommy relives his VCR glory days, Nick argues with logic itself, Damien invents “King Bidet,” and Casey debates the proper A/C settings for an outhouse. The guys also: 🔥 Debate which Sun Belt team could survive in the SEC with $52 million and a dream 🕰️ Pick which decade they’d live in permanently if sent back in time (spoiler: no one’s surviving the ‘80s) 🕓 Rage about Daylight Savings like it personally stole their Wi-Fi 🍔 Argue about people losing their minds over Crispy Burger reviews 🏀 Somehow end up talking WNBA, bidets, and youth sports logistics all in the same breath Basically — it’s another week of chaos, caffeine, and questionable opinions from the bayou’s loudest group chat.

🎙️ Mount Rushmore: Guilty Pleasures Edition 🪞 Welcome to the episode where the Group Chat Podcast crew decided to completely out themselves. This week’s Mount Rushmore wasn’t about athletes, snacks, or local legends — it was about our personal guilty pleasures, and let’s just say… we learned way too much about each other. From Casey’s midnight ASMR whisper sessions 👂😳 to Damien’s obsession with mukbangs and Nick's conspiracy theories (“the earth is flat, fight me”), Casey’s soggy cereal addiction 🥣🤢, and Tommy’s $87 Taco Bell runs 🌮💀… it’s a miracle we’re still allowed to use microphones. Somewhere in the chaos we discovered: Espresso martinis are now breakfast drinks ☕🍸 Monday naps are a lifestyle, not a choice 😴 Big Brother might actually control half this group 👁️ And at least one of us commentates our own NCAA games for practice (you know who you are, Casey). By the end, things got surprisingly wholesome — like “buy your kid $165 volleyball shoes because you didn’t have them growing up” wholesome. Then immediately got weird again when urinating in the shower somehow made the honorable mentions. 😂 Tune in for the perfect blend of oversharing, self-roasting, and nostalgia — it’s the Mount Rushmore of Guilty Pleasures you didn’t know you needed. 👉 #GroupChatPodcast #MountRushmore #GuiltyPleasures #ASMRAndCircusPeanuts #SoggyCerealGang #EspressoMartiniEnergy #SouthLouisianaChaos

Group Chat Podcast: LSU Therapy, Saints Pain, and Lane’s Love Life 😂 LSU did the drop-8 waltz in Oxford and decided the best counter was… 34 passing attempts into double teams. Brian Kelly said “practice better,” Joe Sloan said “RPO forever,” and our dent-can Nussmeyer said “red-zone INTs build character.” We break down why running actual Power-I would’ve won by four TDs, how you get out-snapped 84–56 and still lose by five, and whether Van Buren should be the “Taysom package we actually run.” Then it’s Saints time: celebrated a double-digit cover like a parade 🙃, called the Annexation of Puerto Rico on the goal line (pick, of course), and debated if Taysom Hill has enough juice left to be the human spark plug. Also: the great Rattler (0–10) vs. Tyler Shuck thought experiment and why Kellen Moore might be secretly slow-cooking a tank. College chaos corner: is Lane Kiffin Florida-curious or just trolling us via his daughter’s transfer portal? Bama revenge game chatter, “exciting whites” in the Giants’ backfield, and why Jackson Dart might chirp himself into a Dome L. Combat sports detour: James Johnson streamed a scrappy L that looked closer than the cards, Raymond Chacon cashed a feel-good W, and we set the O/U on Jonathan Guidry’s TBA opponent’s losses at 16.5 with a 90-second A-side special. Ryder Cup postmortem: Team USA pre-gamed the event, Fleetwood Mac stole hearts, and Bryson taught Kevin Hart how to celebrate a 350-yard nuke (family-friendly crotch-grab optional). Fantasy triage: IRs everywhere, points against through the roof, and yes—your team stinks, but so does everyone else’s. That’s the bit.

Group Chat Podcast | Middle School Football Week 4, Coach Joe Riley of Thibodaux Joins us, and Parish Playoff Talk This week on the Group Chat Podcast, Casey, Nick, and Damien dive into a loaded slate of bayou sports. Special guest Coach Joe Riley of Thibodaux Middle School stops by to share stories from his 25-year coaching journey, what it’s like merging two schools into one program, and how his Warriors are still in the parish title chase. Riley also opens up about standout players, life lessons on the field, the rise of his volleyball squad, and whether he’d ever return to high school sidelines. The crew breaks down a wild week of middle school football—from Thibodaux’s 28–0 win over Golden Meadow, to Lockport holding strong, to Raceland looking like the team to beat. We debate whether parish football should bring back a playoff/championship system and what it would mean for the kids, coaches, and community. Expect candid takes on officiating drama, Coach Derek Brunet’s fire on the sidelines, a shoutout to Golden Meadow volleyball for fighting spirit, and a big-picture look at how injuries, matchups, and depth are shaping the parish race. As always, we thank our sponsors for powering the show: The Blue Boot Foundation, Automotive & Accessories, The Law Office of Tommy J.

🎙️ Lock’Em Up: The Segment That Busts Parlays & Friendships 🎙️ Welcome back to the most toxic corner of the internet—where we pretend we’re sharps, but really we’re just degenerates with Wi-Fi and Venmo. Last week was a bloodbath: Turtle had to buy a point (because he just knew Tommy was about to tank the ticket), Damien carried the squad like prime Derrick Henry, Nick went full “fade yourself” mode, and the Wheel proved—once again—that it hates the Saints more than Latoya Cantrell haters in traffic court. This week? We’ve got: Alabama vs Vanderbilt: Nick swears Georgia by 20+ is “free money,” which is exactly what Vegas wants him to think. Miami vs FSU: Tommy guarantees Miami covers… which means hammer FSU. Raiders, Cowboys & Vikings: The NFL side is basically a group therapy session for people who hate their own bets. The Parlay: +1162 odds that will almost certainly be ruined by Tommy before kickoff. Will this be the week we actually hit one? (Spoiler: no.) But if you like chaos, trash talk, and a parlay that pays less than your gas bill—this is your segment. 👉 Lock’Em Up, baby. Where hope goes to die and Turtle still buys the half-point. Want me to also spin this into a shorter, click-baity Facebook/TikTok style description too?

Big Blue Breakdown – Week 5 Preview South Lafourche Rolling Into a Test The Tarpons (3–1) dominated South Terrebonne 44–14 behind another sharp outing from QB Josh Mack, who tossed four TDs and continues to rewrite the school record book. Even without key backs, the “next man up” mentality shined as Dre' Hughes ran for 80 yards and two scores. Defensively, South Lafourche forced turnovers and looked much improved. Now they travel to face ED White (1–3) — a team far tougher than their record suggests after close losses to Jesuit and Holy Cross. Their triple-option attack led by QB Barbera will demand discipline from the Tarpons. Terrebonne’s Statement Season Don’t sleep on Terrebonne (4–0). Behind RB Quincy Adams, who already has 836 yards and 13 touchdowns but shockingly no college offers, the Tigers bullied Hahnville last week. They head to powerhouse Destrehan in what could be one of the Bayou’s biggest wins in years if they pull it off. Spotlight: Vandebilt vs. Lutcher Another marquee game sees Vandebilt Catholic (4–0) put their unbeaten record on the line against Lutcher (2–2). The Bulldogs started slow but have bounced back with back-to-back wins, and their speed will test a Terrier team that has yet to face a real four-quarter battle. Adding to the stage — Vandebilt will retire Elijah McGuire’s jersey on Friday night.

Week 3 – Middle School Football Spotlight: Lockport’s Culture Shift This week on the Group Chat Podcast, we turn the spotlight to the unbeaten Lockport Pirates (3–0) and welcome head coach Jacob Roby fresh off a program-defining 12–6 OT win over Thibodaux. We relive the pivotal moments: Thibodaux’s opening-kick return for a score, Lockport’s in-game adjustments, and the overtime tush-push answer followed by a goal-line stand that sealed it. Coach Roby walks us through the defensive masterclass engineered by DC Ryan Naquin, the leadership of multi-year starter QB Noah Wylie, and a seasoned offensive line that set the tone all night. We zoom out to the Parish picture—Lockport and Raceland tied at 3–0 atop the standings—while noting how this Pirates group has turned belief into identity with a true “team over me” mentality. Coach Roby updates us on team health, the short-week cadence ahead (Sixth Ward, LCO, then Golden Meadow and Raceland), and why the staff is laser-focused on avoiding the “eat the cheese” trap as the Pirates chase a Parish title. Plus, a quick whip-around of other middle-school results (Golden Meadow’s gritty finish, EDW finding stride, LCO’s fight) and what it all means for a talent pipeline that could have South Lafourche & Central Lafourche smiling for years. If you love culture wins, trench play, and composure, this episode is your blueprint.

Group Chat Podcast | LSU vs. Ole Miss Chaos, Saints at the Guillotine, Ozempic Zion & Fair Food Philosophy Thursday night got unhinged fast 😅 Casey, Nick, Tommy and Damien (running on Pedialyte and spite) dive headfirst into a spicy slate: LSU heads to Oxford to bully a D2 legend named Trinidad Chambliss (Ferris Bueller State, probably) while Lane Kiffin allegedly sends his daughter to infiltrate Wit Weeks’ heart. We argue whether the Tigers go vanilla again or unleash Ju'Juan Johnson Season, roast the O-line for turning Nuss into a crash test dummy, and drop a stat bomb that makes Lane look like a Top-25 tourist. Then it’s Saints @ Bills: the Amazon truck finally delivered the meltdown, so can Kellen Moore duct-tape it together or nah? Ryder Cup talk features Coach O starting “USA!” chants and the rumor mill saying DJT might show—choose your walking buddy wisely. And yes, we debate Skinny Zion: did the Pelicans just trade bully ball for brittle ball? Expect Ozempic jokes, shoe slander, and a painfully honest play-in percentage. Plus: Hurricane Festival hype (TVs WILL be on, calm down), mailbag pot-shots, and our sponsors getting more love than Florida’s offense gets first downs. Highlights you’ll argue about: “Piss on Ole Miss” energy vs. backup-QB voodoo 🐯 Wit Weeks playing chess while Lane plays checkers ♟️ Can LSU run it when it’s not Southeastern? (…yikes) Saints: 15.5-point dogs and still a Survivor pool landmine 🦬 Coach O + Ryder Cup = patriot cardio 🇺🇸 Ozempic Zion: from Oliver Miller to shooting guard cosplay 🏀 Dabo’s portal allergy & Florida’s buyout blues 😬 Hurricane Fest > excuses (we’ve got TVs, boudin, and Wi-Fi) 🎡 Call to action: Drop your LSU-Ole Miss score, your Saints pain scale (1–“block the punt” to 10–“missed extra point”), and your best Skinny Zion meme. Like, share, tag a friend who still thinks Lane ain’t a crybaby. #GeauxTigers #WhoDat #RyderCup #Pels #HurricaneFestival #DTB

🎲 LOCK’EM UP: PICKS & PARLAY 🎲 Welcome back to the segment that’s basically the drunk uncle of sports betting — sometimes hilarious, sometimes sad, and somehow still sitting at the kids’ table. Last week, by the grace of God, bad referees, and a kid breaking loose for a garbage-time touchdown, the boys actually hit a college football parlay. That’s right — if you tailed us, you bought lunch. If you faded us, you probably bought a boat. This week? Turtle’s out and Tommy’s in, which means we’ve benched our starter and are now running with the podcast equivalent of a backup long snapper. Tommy swears he’s ready. We swear we’re broke. Casey is still recovering from being robbed by a player prop one yard short for the 47th week in a row. Nick’s entire betting strategy is “fade myself,” and yet somehow he’s still under .500. Meanwhile, Tommy’s out here pretending the Bucs are a dynasty because Todd Bowles once made Jalen Hurts cry. We’ve got it all: Parlay slips that belong in a police evidence locker 🧾 Nick hijacking the segment to plug his “side bets” that never hit 🎯 Damien dry heaving on a bathroom floor at 1 a.m. while sweating out a Colorado game 🤮 Tommy channeling his “wizard” alter ego to pick Ivy League football 🧙‍♂️ Tommy casually nuking everyone’s bankroll like Lane Kiffin’s daughter nukes an LSU linebacker And the best part? Every parlay comes down to the final leg… and we lose it. Every. Single. Time. So should you ride with us? Maybe. Should you fade us? Definitely. Should you watch this segment just to see our dignity get stuffed at the goal line week after week? Absolutely. 💸 Lock’Em Up Picks & Parlay — because we’re not giving betting advice, we’re giving you content. And there’s a big difference. 🎰🔥

High School Football Spotlight – Bayou Rivalries & Big Matchups The Group Chat Podcast dives deep into the Friday night lights down the bayou. We break down last week’s instant classic between South Lafourche and Central Lafourche, a 42–41 thriller that reminded everyone why rivalries matter. From standout performances like “Meathead” carrying the load to Baby J’s breakout night, we analyze how the Tarpons pulled it off and where they still need to improve. Then we look ahead to South Lafourche’s homecoming showdown against the undefeated South Terrebonne Gators. Can the Tarpons’ physical offensive line and balanced attack slow down a defense that’s posted two shutouts in three games? We set the stage for what promises to be one of the biggest matchups of the season. We also shine the spotlight on Terrebonne High School, one of the hottest teams in the region. The Tigers have been rolling behind a dominant offensive line, a pair of explosive running backs, and a defense that refuses to back down. Their clash with Hahnville is shaping up to be a statement game, one that could prove whether Terrebonne belongs among the state’s elite this season. With a mix of star power and toughness in the trenches, Coach Tyler Lewis’ squad is quickly becoming a must-watch program every Friday night. Plus, we take a tour around the bayou to highlight other key area games, from Lutcher’s gritty win to Ellender’s dominant performance. High school football is at its best when tradition, intensity, and community collide—and this week, it’s all happening under the Friday night lights.

In this week’s Community Spotlight, we’re joined by D’Lynn Chiasson of the Cut Off Youth Center to talk about one of the biggest events in our area — the Hurricane Festival. The Youth Center plays a vital role in supporting kids and families across the community, and this festival is one of its most important fundraisers of the year. We’ll highlight what makes the event special: the incredible local food, the live music, the games, and most importantly, the people who come together to celebrate our culture. From the volunteers who make it happen to the families who attend year after year, the Hurricane Festival is a true reflection of community spirit. Tune in as we shine a light on the Youth Center’s impact, get a preview of what’s planned for the weekend, and remind everyone why supporting local events like this keeps our bayou traditions alive and thriving.

🚨 Group Chat Podcast: Not Mott’s Mailbag 🚨 Presented by Lafourche Concert and Events Club What happens when you ask four degenerates to answer YOUR questions? Chaos, slander, and possibly a restraining order. This week’s mailbag features: 🏀 A heated debate on which Jordan Bulls team would body today’s “soft” NBA guards (spoiler: Pippen would have Ja Morant in tears). 🎣 Trey Taylor trying to turn his viral “lock him up” moment into a GoFundMe side hustle. 🏈 Which NFL superstar could save the Saints? (Hint: it ain’t Derek Carr). 📱 Who would disappear from the group chat first—and which one of us would probably be in jail, the hospital, or ghosting because their QB threw 5 picks? 🪦 Pelicans fans, sorry. We all agreed. Sell the team, burn the training staff, and relocate to Seattle. 🍗 Tailgate dad ratings—fried dove, jalapeño honey glaze, and which one of us barely contributes a paper plate. 👟 Players who deserved signature shoes but never got them (yes, someone said Plastic Man Augmon). 🔥 Tiger Droppings confessions, burner accounts, and the time one of our friends leaked someone’s phone number because of Bama trauma. 🥩 Pork steaks at Rouses, concession-stand body slams, and the wise words of John Danos: “90% of people are happy. The other 10% just bitch.” It’s the segment where we answer your questions and drag each other (and sometimes random strangers) in the process. Buckle up, because this week’s mailbag proves we should never be allowed unsupervised on the internet.

Group Chat Podcast – Mount Rushmore: Sports Moments You’ll Never Forget (a.k.a. the Goosebumps, Beer Spills & Therapy Sessions Edition) This week’s Mount Rushmore might actually be the most “where were you when” segment in Group Chat history. We’re digging up the sports moments that permanently live rent-free in our brains — the goosebump plays, the drunk-uncle screams, and the traumatic referee calls that should’ve come with a free voucher for therapy. Nick kicks it off with Tracy Porter’s pick-six in the Saints’ Super Bowl — the moment every Who Dat realized, “holy shit, we’re actually winning this thing.” Turtle immediately ruins it by pointing out a block in the back that nobody else noticed, because of course he did. Meanwhile, Nick confesses he missed the damn victory parade even though he was literally living in New Orleans. Peak Nick. From there, it gets chaotic: LSU miracles – Blue Grass Miracle-to-"Jack Hunt", Warren Morris’s walk-off, Burrow to Chase finally slaying Bama, and the Brian Kelly two-point conversion before he misplaced his brass balls. The Saints rollercoaster – Gleason blocking a punt and blowing the Dome roof off, to the NOLA No-Call that had Tommy (our in-house lawyer) allegedly suing the NFL. Petty moments – Tommy picking UNC over Duke just so he could watch Coach K cry, because trolling is stronger than tradition. Random chaos – Sid Bream running in slow-motion like Forrest Gump on NyQuil, Zane Marks punching a guy’s mouthpiece into the kitchen at the Cut Off Youth Center, and Tommy remembering Jordan’s push-off at a summer camp TV cart like it was the moon landing. By the end, it’s a stew of nostalgia, inside jokes, and just enough trolling to piss off at least three fan bases. Whether it’s Tiger Woods rising from the grave at Augusta, or some Turtle dropping 30 on Ellender in the “House of Pain,” this Mount Rushmore proves that sports moments aren’t just about the wins — they’re about the chaos, the hangovers, and the stories you tell forever.

Welcome to the episode where a Frosty meets a Federal Drug Test. We open with Casey, Nick, Damien, and (eventually) Turtle live from the ManCave, juggling three sacred Louisiana pastimes: LSU panic, Saints coping, and Wendy’s DTB detective work. Bring your Baconator fries and a cup for testing—HR says hi. We go full Zapruder film on Brian Kelly’s post-Florida clapback and LSU’s choice to run the Tecmo Bowl Starter Kit (Run, Short Pass, Punt, Pray). Damien presents the Nuss Torso Conspiracy like he’s hosting Coast to Coast AM: “They’ve pacifiered the offense to protect Nuss. Joe Sloan’s calling plays with oven mitts.” BK admits he’s handcuffing the menu; Damien prints the “Joe Sloan Vanilla Offense” shirt anyway (sued by Blue Bell at 11). Meanwhile, LSU’s defense is busy committing theft—five picks vs Florida, 27 points allowed in three games, Perkins flattening QBs like a Cast Iron Special—and we still find a way to be furious about a 20–10 cover. You know, Louisiana normal. Then the Buzz Off hotline hits: Coach Alan Wilts (Raceland Middle) joins and casually mentions a 32–0 shutout of E.D. White like it’s a Kroger receipt. He lays out why Lafourche needs a middle-school playoff (money, excitement, and “stop handing out participation banners”), shouts out a 28-man “small army” that actually knows their playbook, and previews CLHS studs who can ruin your Friday (hello, Jeremy Cleveland, Tamir Crandall, Booty Dade). It’s half TED Talk, half pep rally, and 100% “why isn’t this guy running the parish?” We detour into the Saints’ 0–2 character-building arc: Rattler’s feisty, Kellen Moore refuses to sneak on 4th-and-2 vs a one-man front (modern art), Olave plays “Tag, but I’m Base,” and somehow we’re saying “hey, not as bad as expected” while being exactly as bad as expected. Can Carr flip two L’s into therapy wins? Depends. On everything. National nonsense: Crawford boxed Canelo’s ears off, Arch got serenaded by the boo birds and now leads his team in existential yards per carry, and every “QB1 of the future” looks like he’s throwing a wet towel. Heisman/No. 1 pick odds get read aloud like a jump-scare. Also: dodo birds might return (because apparently Jurassic Park was a tutorial), Houma traffic has become a sentient BOSS LEVEL, and yes—someone dialed Mike Jones. Who? Exactly. And then comes the true-crime segment: Wendy’s “Coming DTB”. A Facebook post promises managers, locations (plural), and applications via mysterious text code—because what screams “legit” more than “Text ARTX-15DF0083 to 31063”? We deep-dive like it’s the Zapata Oil case: grass-cutting alibis, pressure-wash timelines, and opening day circled on December 2 (allegedly). Verdict: Frosty? Maybe. Frosty Scam? Definitely content. We’ll be there with a mic and a thermometer. Plus: an Australian in Tiger Stadium who treats Brad Wing like Ric Flair, a punt praise kink we should probably unpack, and a sincere “playoffs for the kids” campaign you’ll want to clip and send to every AD and principal from Raceland to Golden Meadow. TL;DR: LSU wins and we’re still mad, the Saints lose and we’re kinda proud, Raceland rolls 32–0, Canelo got Bud’d, Arch got boo’d, dodos got un-extinct’d, and Wendy’s might get built by text message. Five stars, one cup, no onions.

Big Blue Breakdown – Week 3  Matchup: Central Lafourche Trojans at South Lafourche Tarpons Location: Galliano, LA • Tarpon Memorial Stadium On-Site Show: Live from Tidelands Golf & Country Club Presented by: Neo Small Engine Overview The Group Chat Podcast crew delivers a polished, on-site pregame show two hours before kickoff, setting the stage for a marquee Lafourche Parish rivalry. Both programs enter with momentum—South Lafourche coming off a physical win over Pearl River; Central Lafourche fresh off a road victory at New Iberia. Expect pace, points, and a playoff-like environment on both sidelines. Desk & Guests Host Casey (with Damien, Nick, and Turtle) is joined on set by Freezer Burnt for live reaction and local perspective from the Trojans’ side. The crew also highlights Tidelands’ alumni golf weekend and thanks the event team on site. Top Storylines Rivalry Energy: Shared youth/travel circuits mean both rosters know each other well. Emotions and composure will matter early. Styles & Tempo: Central seeks explosives with QB Jeremy Cleveland and a deep skill group; South Lafourche leans on balance and second-half physicality behind its line and feature back. Turnover Margin: The Tarpons have flashed big-play offense but must eliminate negative plays and sudden-change mistakes. Trenches Decide It: South Lafourche’s offensive front vs. a blitz-heavy Trojan front that hunts sacks and strips. Players to Watch South Lafourche: #21 “Meathead” (RB): Workhorse back who closes games; expect a heavier load late. Terrance Pitre (WR/ATH): Chain-mover and space creator in the short/intermediate game. Braxton Pitre (EDGE/LB): Backfield disruptor; sets tone defensively. Haven Green (TE): Sneaky mismatch between the numbers—watch seams on early downs. OL Unit: Tackles Sawyer & Carter Colley and center Bo Georges headline a physical front; guards Drake Terrebonne and Darius Allen are ascending. Central Lafourche: #3 Jeremy Cleveland (QB): Dual-threat who extends plays and stresses discipline on the edges. #1 Robert Day (RB): downhill runner; sets up play-action. #8 Tamarian Crandall (Slot/ATH): Space playmaker; touches = explosives. Front Seven: Multiple pressure looks under Coach Vedros; game changes if they create sacks/strips. Injury Watch: DL Victor Ellison (hamstring) listed as questionable; availability could impact interior run defense. Keys to the Game Contain & Leverage: Keep Cleveland in the well; assign a spy on long downs; rally tackling on the perimeter. Early Down Efficiency: Tarpons can control flow with inside zone/counter, then build play-action to soften coverage. Protect the Football: Minimize drive-ending penalties and strip-sack opportunities vs. CL pressures. Hidden Yardage: Special teams may flip the night—both sides have return speed; field position and kickoff lane integrity are pivotal. Local Scoreboard & Programming Notes Live look-ins and updates from other Bayou matchups (Terrebonne–St. James; Thibodaux–Assumption; Vanderbilt at Sulphur). Alumni golf tournament coverage throughout the weekend from Tidelands (hole 5 “fan zone” atmosphere). How to Watch/Listen Pregame Show: Live from Tidelands Golf & Country Club leading into kickoff. Game Streams: South Lafourche–Central Lafourche on Bayou Sports platforms (FB/YouTube, as scheduled). Bottom Line Rivalries are won in the margins. If South Lafourche’s line controls the second half and the ball stays off the turf, the Tarpons have an inside track. If Central’s pressure package creates short fields—and Cleveland turns chaos into explosives—the Trojans can tilt this into a track meet. Game-on in Galliano.

🔒 Lock’Em Up: Picks & Parlay (Week 4) Presented by DTB Clothing (until FanDuel finally answers our DMs). Last week’s parlay? Yeah… we’re pretending that never happened. New week, fresh lies confidence. 🏫 College Slate (4-Leg “We Swear This One Hits”) South Carolina +9.5 (Turtle’s buying it to +10 because he’s rich and scared) Colorado −13.5 vs. Wyoming (Coach Prime, new QB, still vibes) Bowling Green–Louisville OVER 51.5 (points are cheaper than rent) Oklahoma −6.5 vs. Auburn (Boomer Sooner, sorry War Eagle/Tiger/IdentityCrisis) 💰 Approx odds: ~13:1. Hammer responsibly. Or irresponsibly. Your call. 🏈 NFL Slate (4-Leg “Please Don’t Get Hurt, Mahomes”) Chiefs −5.5 (0–3? Not on our watch.) Mahomes OVER 232.5 pass yds (carving pumpkins and the Giants) Steelers–Patriots UNDER 44.5 (two great defenses, two sad offenses) Cowboys +1.5 vs. Bears (Brandon Aubrey = America’s Kicker) 💰 Approx odds: ~10:1. If this hits, we’re buying matching chain wallets and a fog machine. 🧪 GCP Top 10 (Because Polls Are Fun To Argue About) Ohio State (unanimous) Oregon Miami LSU Penn State Georgia (yeah, we said it) Oklahoma Florida State Illinois Texas A&M Honorable mentions: whoever Nick bet at 11:00 AM and instantly jinxed. 📊 Pick’em Board (Shame Rankings) The Wizard heating up. Turtle knows ball. Nick’s Wheel: 3–12 (legally a hate crime against parlays). Damien: 6–9… nice. Tommy: 5–5 but still somehow last because math is a social construct. 🎙️ What’s Inside the Segment The boys roast last week’s tickets, overreact to two games, and proclaim “This is the week” at least six times. Live debate: is buying a half-point a power move or fear tax? Side quests: polygamy jokes for Utah picks, Burrow’s health, and why Brandon Aubrey should get MVP votes. Tap in, tail or fade, and post your tickets. If we hit, we’re insufferable. If we miss… the Wheel made us do it.

🏈 Lafourche Parish Middle School Football Report: Week 2 The GCP crew dives deep into Week 2 action across Lafourche Parish and sets the stage for a massive Week 3 slate! 🔥 Golden Meadow Lions bounce back with a big win over Sixth Ward thanks to dominance in the trenches and standout games from Carter Plaisance and Hayden Guidry. ⚡ Lockport Pirates stay undefeated, blasting Bayou Blue and setting up a monster showdown with Thibodaux. 💪 Raceland Rams pitch a 32–0 shutout over E.D.

Joining us via the Buzz Off sponsored phone lines is Coach Allen Wiltz, head football coach at Raceland Middle, fresh off his team’s 2–0 start. Coach Wiltz talks about his defense’s dominance, the “small army” mentality of his roster, and his push to bring a playoff system to Lafourche Parish middle school football.

🎙️ Big Blue Breakdown: Week 3 South Lafourche vs. Central Lafourche – The Rivalry Returns The Group Chat Podcast crew is back with a special rivalry edition of the Big Blue Breakdown, setting the stage for Friday night’s showdown in Galliano between the South Lafourche Tarpons and the Central Lafourche Trojans. Casey, Damien, Nick, and Turtle break down last week’s 27–19 Tarpon win over Pearl River, spotlighting huge performances from some of SL’s biggest playmakers: Meathead: 25 carries, 173 yards, and a postgame quote that made it clear—load the box if you want, he’s still running it down your throat. Terrance Pitre: electric with the ball, continuing to show he’s one of the Tarpons’ most dangerous weapons. Braxton Pitre: a monster defensively, living in the backfield and delivering on his promise that the opposing QB would be seeing him all night long. South Lafourche Defense: big-time stops when it mattered most, including a late 4th down stand that sealed the win. Credit to DC Mike Woods, whose energy and creative blitz packages kept Pearl River off balance. The guys also talk about areas to clean up—self-inflicted mistakes like turnovers and penalties that kept the game closer than it should’ve been. BJ Young’s group knows that if they play disciplined, this team has three-score potential against anyone. 🏈 Rivalry Spotlight – Central Lafourche Preview This week, it’s Trojan Week. The guys dive into what makes this rivalry special—packed stands, heated atmospheres, and memories of Central fans wandering onto the wrong side back in the day. To help break it all down, the crew welcomes Coach Allen Wiltz of Raceland Middle School via the Buzz Off sponsored phone lines. Wiltz has coached many current CL athletes, including standout QB Jeremy Cleveland, and offers unique insight: Cleveland is “the real deal”—a dual-threat who can extend plays, throw on the run, and frustrate defenses if containment slips. Tamir Crandall: explosive in space—if he touches the ball, it’s trouble. Robert “Booty” Dade: a punishing tackler who brings the physical edge. Tyreek Cooper: two-sport athlete and playmaker on both sides of the ball. Wiltz expects a shootout, praising both teams’ talent and looking forward to seeing players like Terrance Pitre match up with CL’s stars. 🎤 Live From Tidelands Just like last week, the guys will be live at Tidelands Country Club Friday from 4:30–6:00 PM. Expect big energy, special guests—including Freezer Burnt, a Central alum stirring the pot—and plenty of pregame hype as South Lafourche looks to “put the belt to Central Lafourche’s ass.” 🔑 Keys to the Game Contain Cleveland – keep him in the pocket, spy with athletes like Dardar, and stay disciplined in coverage. Run Behind Meathead – if SL establishes the ground game, it opens everything else up. Limit Self-Inflicted Wounds – turnovers and penalties nearly cost them last week. Against CL, those mistakes could swing the rivalry game. 🎧 Closing Another packed week on the Big Blue Breakdown—big-time Tarpon performances, a massive rivalry on deck, and plenty of laughs along the way. Catch the full episode (including the entire interview with Coach Wiltz) on the Group Chat Podcast feed after the game. And as always… Go Tarps, and God bless America.

What happens when the Group Chat boys leave the mics running too long? You get Episode 18 — a chaotic compilation of outtakes that probably should’ve stayed locked away in the filing cabinet. Casey, Nick, Damien, Turtle, and Tommy cover everything from trolling AP Poll voters (looking at you, Haley Sawyer) to somehow blending college football rants with WNBA hot takes, boxing breakdowns, and a totally unnecessary detour into September 11th memories. It’s equal parts serious conversation, reckless commentary, and pure nonsense. Highlights include: The AP Poll Roast: Why Florida magically moved up in the rankings after losing. Boxing Talk: Canelo vs. Crawford predictions, betting odds, and why the undercard sounds like a “Battle of the States” sideshow. Turtle’s Reputation: The crew reminds him of his “stay in the kitchen” takes (he pleads the fifth). 9/11 Memories: From pellet gun hunter safety class to “ICQ away messages” breaking national news. Damar Hamlin Conspiracies: Is he real, or just a hologram? The guys aren’t convinced. Birthday on Christmas Day: The ultimate scam in gift-receiving rights. This episode is a blend of unfiltered banter, questionable hot takes, and surprisingly thoughtful sports talk — all wrapped in the kind of chaos that makes the Group Chat Podcast what it is.

🎙️ Group Chat Podcast | Not Mott’s Mailbag Brought to you by the fine folks at Lafourche Concert & Events Club (they had no idea what they were sponsoring). This week’s episode is exactly what you’d expect when you dump a bag of questions in front of the boys and say “figure it out.” We cover: 💰 What we’d do with $900M Powerball money (spoiler: someone is buying Houma just to shut it down). 🐦 Why baby pigeons don’t exist (or are actually Pop Chocks, depending on how much tequila you’ve had). 🌮 The great nacho debate — is 12 chips enough, or is that just some broke-ass Homer plate? 🎭 Which cartoon character we’d trade lives with (Peter Griffin > your favorite anime character, fight us). 👨‍🍳 Which NFL coach definitely grills in socks and sandals (Andy Reid, we’re looking at you). 🧼 The eternal question: drop the soap — did the floor get clean or is the soap dirty? 🤡 What’s scarier: clowns at night or getting the dreaded “we need to talk” text? Plus, Bryce Boudreaux calls in, Turtle starts a feud, Tommy scouts French nannies, and somehow we lose a local sponsorship by burying a Mexican restaurant mid-episode. It’s chaos. It’s trolling. It’s exactly why you listen to the Group Chat Podcast.

🚨 Mount Rushmore Madness: Flash-in-the-Pan Athletes Edition 🚨 The Group Chat Podcast council is in session (yes, even Turtle showed up on time) — and this week we’re carving out the ultimate Mount Rushmore of Flash-in-the-Pan Athletes. 🗿⚡ Who made the cut?

Big Blue Breakdown — Episode 1: South Lafourche vs. Pearl River (LIVE from Tidelands) The Group Chat Podcast kicks off its Big Blue Breakdown pre-game series live from Tidelands Country Club in Galliano, LA, presented by Neil’s Small Engine, in front of a lively crowd of Tarpon faithful. We set the table for South Lafourche vs. Pearl River with a clear, professional scouting report: South Lafourche aims to leverage tempo and perimeter speed, while Pearl River brings a disciplined, downhill rushing attack under veteran coach Jerry Leonard. We break down keys like time of possession, third-and-long defense, special teams field position, and the all-important penalty margin after a flag-heavy Week 1. Inside the matchup, we spotlight Tarpon playmakers—Terrence Pitre, “Baby J” Landon Jarvis, Dre Hughes, Meathead in the ground game, QB Josh Mack’s decision-making—and the revamped special teams unit that flipped the field a week ago. On the Pearl River side, we discuss trench play, their run-first identity (44 rushing attempts last week), and the buy-in that’s fueling early momentum. We also zoom out to the Bayou and statewide slate—Vandy, HL Bourgeois, and more—and close with a quick, level-headed college football segment (LSU-Florida, Georgia-Tennessee, Notre Dame-A&M, Bama-Wisconsin): what’s noise, what’s real, and where the edges might be. Presented by: Neil’s Small Engine Location: Tidelands Country Club — Galliano, LA Programming Note: We’ll be back next Friday at 4:30 PM, same place, for South Lafourche vs. Central Lafourche. Come early, be loud, and Geaux Tarpons.

🎙️ Group Chat Podcast – Picks & Parlays: Week 3 Edition 🎙️ We’re back with another week of reckless gambling advice, questionable logic, and a parlay that’s guaranteed to either make you rich or force you to sell your plasma. Spoiler: probably the second one. 👀 College Recap: Damien trusted Clemson… Clemson returned the favor by sucking. Tommy picked Texas… they forgot the game was two halves long. Nick and Casey actually hit their bets (which officially makes them the podcast’s finance bros). Nick’s Wheel? Still spinning like a broke slot machine. 1-9, baby! 🏈 NFL Recap: Tommy cashed on Baker Mayfield looking like an MVP for 90 minutes. Damien’s Commanders somehow covered (shoutout Daniel Jones for being Daniel Jones). Nick’s “over” pick had all the offensive excitement of a middle school punt fest. Casey’s Steelers lost by half a point. Nothing screams degeneracy quite like that. 🔥 This Week’s College Parlay (a.k.a. how to light money on fire responsibly): Ducks & Wildcats OVER 48.5 Georgia -4.5 (because Kirby Smart owns Tennessee like a rent house) LSU vs. Florida UNDER everything (until it hits 70-60, of course) Ole Miss/Arkansas UNDER 62.5 And Tulane covering vs. Duke… because revenge, white uniforms, and fake quarterbacks. 💰 NFL Parlay of Doom: Bills -6.5 (Josh Allen vs. “Not Lamar Jackson” Fields) Dak over 1.5 TDs Cowboys to cover (bullying the Giants is tradition now) Joe Burrow over 6.5 rushing yards (aka “run for your life insurance”) 49ers -3 AND the under (pray for a 13-10 field goal-a-thon). 📊 Odds? 26-to-1. Reality? You’ll be broke by 2:15pm. ✨ Plus: The Wizard is back from his 4-1 week, still somehow 4-6 overall. Turtle went 4-1, proving Bryce Boudreaux doesn’t know ball. Nick’s Wheel? Still a war crime. Tommy? A cuck with a 2-3 record and a heart full of bad picks. Come for the football talk, stay for the tribal free lunch discourse, San Francisco hate rants, and Lafourche Parish degeneracy.
