🎙️ 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.

🎙️ 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.

🎙️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.”

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?
-
Tommy breaks down why being a good dad apparently means skipping Friday night football for pumpkin carving 🎃😂

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.
