Group Chat Podcast

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

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. Plus, we debate: What’s the blueprint for maintaining middle school momentum at the high school level? And which players just stamped their ticket to “next big thing” status in Lafourche Parish football.

🎙️ 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?

 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.

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 😬).
