Group Chat Podcast: Community Spotlight | COYC Hurricane Festival

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 (EP:20) | Jordan’s Bulls, Saints QB Swap, & The Great Tailgate Dad Rating

🚨 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 | Most Memorable Sports Moments

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.

Group Chat Podcast (EP19) | “Frostys, Fake Lines, & the Nuss Torso Conspiracy”

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: South Lafourche–Central Lafourche Gameday Preview

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

1. Contain & Leverage: Keep Cleveland in the well; assign a spy on long downs; rally tackling on the perimeter.

2. Early Down Efficiency: Tarpons can control flow with inside zone/counter, then build play-action to soften coverage.

3. Protect the Football: Minimize drive-ending penalties and strip-sack opportunities vs. CL pressures.

4. 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.

🏫 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)

• 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.

Big Blue Breakdown: Week 3 South Lafourche vs. Central Lafourche – The Rivalry Returns

🎙️ 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.

Group Chat Podcast EP:18 | "This Might Get Us Cancelled” — The Outtakes Episode

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 (EP: 19) | Powerball Flexes, French Nannies & Pigeon Truthers

🎙️ 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.
