š£ Group Chat Podcast ā Community Spotlight: Blue Boot Rodeo š¶
In this special Community Spotlight episode, we sit down with Corey Hebert to talk about one of south Louisianaās most anticipated summer eventsāthe Blue Boot Fishing Rodeo. From humble beginnings, the Blue Boot Rodeo has grown into a three-day celebration of family, fishing, and community spirit.
Corey gives us the inside scoop on whatās planned for this yearās rodeoāfrom the fishing tournament with categories for every angler, to live music, kidsā activities, and even unique events like Bingo & Mimosas and the popular Cornhole Tournament. With weigh-ins at Moranās Marina and a weekend full of festivities, thereās something for all agesāwhether youāre competing for a spot on the leaderboard or just there for the good food and great music.
We also talk with Group Chatās own Damien and Tommy about their roles on the Reel American Fishing Team and how theyāre preparing to (hopefully) not finish last this year.
Tommy and Corey talk about the āBetter Call Badeauxā bar spondsarship and why you need to have a BCB koozie. At the end you can hear a great story about Tommy meeting up with Tommy White (LSU baseball legend) at last years event,
This episode highlights the heart of what makes events like the Blue Boot Rodeo so special: community coming together for a great cause.

šļø Group Chat Podcast: Not Mott's Mailbag (EP:10) | "Streaming Wars, Seawalls & SmackTalk"
Itās a sports dead period, so naturally weāre diving headfirst into chaos. This weekās Not Mottās Mailbag is powered by our friends at Lafourche Concert and Events Club ā go follow them because they actually do productive things, unlike us.
We kick things off with a pressing question: what are we watching right now? From vintage WWE drama to the trial of Karen Read, Brooklyn Nine-Nine to F1: Drive to Survive, and even a dude named Dylan eating weird food from diners in Mississippi ā our TV habits are as unhinged as our group chat.
Then itās onto the real debates:
-
Should LSU expand Alex Box Stadium? (Spoiler: Depends if UNO is on the schedule)
-
Crocs vs Hey Dudes ā what footwear reigns supreme?
-
Saints or Pelicans ā whoās more likely to stumble into the playoffs?
-
Which one of us would survive longest on the Golden Meadow Seawall?
-
And the impossible choice: tackling Derrick Henry vs shooting under par in a golf scramble.
Plus:
-
The best boxing knockouts of all time ā from Tyson to a dude getting folded in Cut Off.
-
Which pro athletes would thrive in wrestling and which wrestlers could actually play sports.
-
A crash course in card collecting, downtown inserts, and why Tommy wants a Baker Mayfield card more than air.
-
And yesā¦we close the show with a highly educational game of F**, Marry, Kill: SEC Fan Edition*.
Also featuring: umpire flops, Diet Coke red buttons, and tales of bitty ball coaching trauma.

Welcome to another unfiltered, unpredictable, and borderline offensive ride with the Group Chat boysāCasey Gisclair, Damien St. Pierre, Nick Hebert, and Tommy Badeaux (via River Ridge satellite). On this episode, weāre doing it all... literally.
We kick things off with some rapid-fire rants on the NBA Draft, including a suspicious number of white guys with Kās in their names, Ron Harper catching Zās on national TV, and our analysis of who has the hottest mom in the lottery. Spoiler alert: itās not Igor.
From there, itās a trip into the cage as our guy Bryce Boudreaux joins us to recap Cage Warrior Championship 37 in Houma, Louisianaātag team jiu-jitsu, a possibly quick stoppage, and more hometown chaos than a youth baseball tournament in August.
We also talk:
-
Jake Paul vs. Chavez Jr. and whether boxing is more pro wrestling than pro boxing at this point.
-
Deontay Wilderās last stand in Wichita (yes, really).
-
LSU baseballās title run, Jay Johnsonās Saban vibes, and how Baton Rouge became the MLB's farm system.
-
The Pelicans draft pick... and how Jeremiah Fears became both our savior and reason to cancel League Pass.
-
The ghost of TJ McConnell and the most embarrassing week in white basketball history.
Then we jump into the Rank DatĀ segment:
-
Best Adam Sandler movie (sorry, Little Nicky).
-
Most miserable hangover locations.
-
Top ābest of the worstā Saints QBs.
-
White American non-ICE NBA legends (Stockton hive, weāre watching you).
-
And finally... which patriot (real or ridiculous) would most likely wave a flag during an ICE protest.
A little boxing, a lot of bullshit, and some extremely off-color jokes. Just the way you like it. Tap in, turn up, and hit that hooo! like you're Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
