šļø Group Chat Podcast ā Not Mottās Mailbag (EP 21)
Brought to you by LaFouche Concert & Events Club ā where questions get weird, answers get worse, and somebodyās guaranteed to say something theyāll regret.
This weekās Mailbag takes us from men buying their own rings š (spoiler: donāt) to whether high-speed internet is worth pooping in a porta potty forever š© (spoiler: absolutely). Tommy relives his VCR glory days, Nick argues with logic itself, Damien invents āKing Bidet,ā and Casey debates the proper A/C settings for an outhouse.
The guys also:
š„ Debate which Sun Belt team could survive in the SEC with $52 million and a dream
š°ļø Pick which decade theyād live in permanently if sent back in time (spoiler: no oneās surviving the ā80s)
š Rage about Daylight Savings like it personally stole their Wi-Fi
š Argue about people losing their minds over Crispy Burger reviews
š Somehow end up talking WNBA, bidets, and youth sports logistics all in the same breath
Basically ā itās another week of chaos, caffeine, and questionable opinions from the bayouās loudest group chat.

šļø Mount Rushmore: Guilty Pleasures Edition šŖ
Welcome to the episode where the Group Chat Podcast crew decided to completely out themselves. This weekās Mount Rushmore wasnāt about athletes, snacks, or local legends ā it was about our personal guilty pleasures, and letās just say⦠we learned way too much about each other.
From Caseyās midnight ASMR whisper sessions šš³ to Damienās obsession with mukbangs and Nick's conspiracy theories (āthe earth is flat, fight meā), Caseyās soggy cereal addiction š„£š¤¢, and Tommyās $87 Taco Bell runs š®šā¦ itās a miracle weāre still allowed to use microphones.
Somewhere in the chaos we discovered:
-
Espresso martinis are now breakfast drinks āšø
-
Monday naps are a lifestyle, not a choice š“
-
Big Brother might actually control half this group šļø
-
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 ā like ābuy your kid $165 volleyball shoes because you didnāt have them growing upā wholesome. Then immediately got weird again when urinating in the shower somehow made the honorable mentions.
š Tune in for the perfect blend of oversharing, self-roasting, and nostalgia ā itās the Mount Rushmore of Guilty Pleasures you didnāt know you needed.

Group Chat Podcast: LSU Therapy, Saints Pain, and Laneās Love Life š
LSU did the drop-8 waltz in Oxford and decided the best counter was⦠34 passing attempts into double teams. Brian Kelly said āpractice better,ā Joe Sloan said āRPO forever,ā and our dent-can Nussmeyer said āred-zone INTs build character.ā We break down why running actual Power-I wouldāve won by four TDs, how you get out-snapped 84ā56 and still lose by five, and whether Van Buren should be the āTaysom package we actually run.ā
Then itās Saints time: celebrated a double-digit cover like a parade š, 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 (0ā10) 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 daughterās transfer portal? Bama revenge game chatter, āexciting whitesā in the Giantsā 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 Guidryās TBA opponentās 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 yesāyour team stinks, but so does everyone elseās. Thatās the bit.
Sponsors who keep this circus rolling: Blue Boot Foundation ⢠Performance Automotive & Accessories ⢠Law Office of Tommy J. Bado (you better call Bado) ⢠Nealās Small Engine ⢠DTB Clothing ⢠Lafourche Concert & Events Club ⢠Martinās A/C & Electric ⢠Buzz Off Mosquito Control ⢠Down South Cards & Bats. Want in?

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 itās 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 heād ever return to high school sidelines.
The crew breaks down a wild week of middle school footballāfrom Thibodauxās 28ā0 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 Brunetās 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. Badeaux (Better Call Badeaux!), Nealās Small Engine, DTB Clothing, Lafourche Concert & Events Club, Martinās AC & Electric, Buzz Off Mosquito Control, and Down South Cards & Bats.

šļø LockāEm Up: The Segment That Busts Parlays & Friendships šļø
Welcome back to the most toxic corner of the internetāwhere we pretend weāre sharps, but really weāre 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 āfade yourselfā mode, and the Wheel provedāonce againāthat it hates the Saints more than Latoya Cantrell haters in traffic court.
This week? Weāve got:
-
Alabama vs Vanderbilt: Nick swears Georgia by 20+ is āfree money,ā 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 billāthis is your segment.
š LockāEm 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?

Group Chat Podcast: Big Blue Breakdown ā Week 5 Preview (Tarpons vs ED White)
Thursday Oct 02, 2025
Thursday Oct 02, 2025
Big Blue Breakdown ā Week 5 Preview
South Lafourche Rolling Into a Test
The Tarpons (3ā1) dominated South Terrebonne 44ā14 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 ānext man upā 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 (1ā3) ā 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.
Terrebonneās Statement Season
Donāt sleep on Terrebonne (4ā0). 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 Bayouās biggest wins in years if they pull it off.
Spotlight: Vandebilt vs. Lutcher
Another marquee game sees Vandebilt Catholic (4ā0) put their unbeaten record on the line against Lutcher (2ā2). 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 ā Vandebilt will retire Elijah McGuireās jersey on Friday night.

Week 3 ā Middle School Football Spotlight: Lockportās Culture Shift
This week on the Group Chat Podcast, we turn the spotlight to the unbeaten Lockport Pirates (3ā0) and welcome head coach Jacob Roby fresh off a program-defining 12ā6 OT win over Thibodaux. We relive the pivotal moments: Thibodauxās opening-kick return for a score, Lockportās 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 pictureāLockport and Raceland tied at 3ā0 atop the standingsāwhile noting how this Pirates group has turned belief into identity with a true āteam over meā 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 āeat the cheeseā trap as the Pirates chase a Parish title.
Plus, a quick whip-around of other middle-school results (Golden Meadowās gritty finish, EDW finding stride, LCOās 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 š 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 Weeksā 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 itās 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 āUSA!ā chants and the rumor mill saying DJT might showāchoose 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 Floridaās offense gets first downs.
Highlights youāll argue about:
-
āPiss on Ole Missā energy vs. backup-QB voodoo šÆ
-
Wit Weeks playing chess while Lane plays checkers āļø
-
Can LSU run it when itās not Southeastern? (ā¦yikes)
-
Saints: 15.5-point dogs and still a Survivor pool landmine š¦¬
-
Coach O + Ryder Cup = patriot cardio šŗšø
-
Ozempic Zion: from Oliver Miller to shooting guard cosplay š
-
Daboās portal allergy & Floridaās buyout blues š¬
-
Hurricane Fest > excuses (weāve got TVs, boudin, and Wi-Fi) š”
Call to action: Drop your LSU-Ole Miss score, your Saints pain scale (1āāblock the puntā to 10āāmissed extra pointā), and your best Skinny Zion meme. Like, share, tag a friend who still thinks Lane aināt a crybaby.

š² LOCKāEM UP: PICKS & PARLAY š²
Welcome back to the segment thatās basically the drunk uncle of sports betting ā sometimes hilarious, sometimes sad, and somehow still sitting at the kidsā 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. Thatās right ā if you tailed us, you bought lunch. If you faded us, you probably bought a boat.
This week? Turtleās out and Tommyās in, which means weāve benched our starter and are now running with the podcast equivalent of a backup long snapper. Tommy swears heās ready. We swear weāre broke.
Casey is still recovering from being robbed by a player prop one yard short for the 47th week in a row. Nickās entire betting strategy is āfade myself,ā and yet somehow heās still under .500. Meanwhile, Tommyās out here pretending the Bucs are a dynasty because Todd Bowles once made Jalen Hurts cry.
Weāve got it all:
-
Parlay slips that belong in a police evidence locker š§¾
-
Nick hijacking the segment to plug his āside betsā that never hit šÆ
-
Damien dry heaving on a bathroom floor at 1 a.m. while sweating out a Colorado game š¤®
-
Tommy channeling his āwizardā alter ego to pick Ivy League football š§āāļø
-
Tommy casually nuking everyoneās bankroll like Lane Kiffinās 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.
šø LockāEm Up Picks & Parlay ā because weāre not giving betting advice, weāre giving you content. And thereās a big difference. š°š„

High School Football Spotlight ā Bayou Rivalries & Big Matchups
The Group Chat Podcast dives deep into the Friday night lights down the bayou. We break down last weekās instant classic between South Lafourche and Central Lafourche, a 42ā41 thriller that reminded everyone why rivalries matter. From standout performances like āMeatheadā carrying the load to Baby Jās breakout night, we analyze how the Tarpons pulled it off and where they still need to improve.
Then we look ahead to South Lafourcheās homecoming showdown against the undefeated South Terrebonne Gators. Can the Tarponsā physical offensive line and balanced attack slow down a defense thatās 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 stateās elite this season. With a mix of star power and toughness in the trenches, Coach Tyler Lewisā 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 Lutcherās gritty win to Ellenderās dominant performance.
High school football is at its best when tradition, intensity, and community collideāand this week, itās all happening under the Friday night lights.
