šØ The Group Chat Podcast is back with peak chaos and a side of respect šØ

Lionās Pride Podcast: Golden Meadowās Coach Brunet Eyes Strong Season Start
The debut episode of Lionās Pride ā the official Golden Meadow Middle School sports podcast presented by the Group Chat Podcast ā wasted no time setting the tone. Host Casey Gisclair sat down with Lions head football coach Derek Brunet for a deep dive into this weekendās Jamboree showdown and the season ahead.
Jamboree Test vs. Bayou Blue
Golden Meadow hits the field Saturday in Thibodaux for the Lions Club Jamboree against Bayou Blue. Brunet said his squad is ātired of hitting each otherā and eager to unleash against fresh competition. He emphasized execution across all three phases ā clean huddles on offense, assignment football on defense, and mistake-free special teams.
Defensive Leaders
Brunet spotlighted a veteran linebacker trio ā Maddox Vegas, Carter Plaisance, and Hayden Guidry ā as the backbone of the defense. The Lions will also rotate a deep defensive line anchored by Ryder Doucet and Russ LĆ©ger, with a speedy safety patrolling the back end.
Building an Offensive Identity
Up front, Brunet praised his offensive line as an āabsolute unitā that sets the tone for a balanced backfield featuring both speed and power. Quarterback Jacob Davis leads the attack, supported by a rotation of backs expected to bring versatility to the Lionsā offense.
Focus on Growth
Asked what would make 2025 a success, Brunet kept it simple: improvement every week. āIf we win each rep and each play, the scoreboard will take care of itself,ā he said.
Looking Ahead
After Bayou Blue, Golden Meadow turns its attention to a rivalry scrimmage with Larose before opening the season September 10 against Raceland. Brunet acknowledged the schedule offers no easy weeks but believes the Lionsā summer grind has them ready.
The Lionās Pride podcast will continue throughout the season with exclusive insight, interviews, and coverage of Golden Meadow athletics.

šļø NOT MOTTāS MAILBAG IS BACK! šļø
Sponsored by the legends at Lafourche Concert & Events Club, Casey, Damien & Turtle dive into the most unhinged mailbag questions yet.
š„ If you could relive ONE DAY in your life forever, which would it be? (Spoiler: weddings, football wins, and cookies made the cut.)
š„© Would you rather give up MEAT forever or SUGAR forever? The boys were not ready for this oneā¦
š Is Nicholls football about to run the Southland after wrecking UIW? Hogan must pose! Ryback energy!
š¦ Who wins: 100 gorillas vs. 1 Coach O (and how many Red Bulls would it take?)
š John Cenaās ālast matchā⦠is it a swerve or is Vince trolling us all?
š Coach O back in Miami⦠or Tulane? Weāve got āinside infoā (from Turtleās notes š).
š¶ If you could talk to your 12-year-old self for 5 minutes, what advice would you give? (The boys went deep on this one.)
š Tune in for laughs, hot takes, and a little heartstring pullingāplus shoutouts to all our badass sponsors who keep this circus rolling.

Damien & Casey fired up a random Sunday GCP Stream to ride the chaos of the final 8 holes of the PGA Tour Championship. Why? Because Damien put his ENTIRE FanDuel account on Tommy Fleetwood at 14ā1 during Wednesdayās live show... and somehow Fleetwoodās been in the lead all weekend. šøā³
What starts as a casual golf watch-along turns into full-blown panic, comedy, and heart palpitations as Damienās $80 bet turns into an $1,100 sweat. Weāre also joined by Nicholls State Head Golf Coach James Schilling, who drops real knowledge on golf strategy, mental toughness, pace of play, and even Ryder Cup breakdownsāwhile trolling Scotty Schefflerās water ball.
Of course, this being the Group Chat Podcast, we go way off the rails:
-
šØ Damien refusing to cash out at $700 (ādiamond handsā)
-
šļø Fleetwood vs. his demons vs. Damienās blood pressure
-
š Coach Schilling shifting into Nicholls football talk after their upset win
-
š¤ Sidebars on bread pudding waffles, shrimp bouillettes, and local restaurants
-
š āWhat job would Tommy Fleetwood have if he wasnāt a golfer?ā
-
š Watch Damienās fate sealed as Fleetwood finally closes out his first big PGA win
This is part golf analysis, part gambling therapy session, part Louisiana chaos.

Welcome to Group Chat Podcast Ā ā the only show where you can learn how to race a 40MPH Johnson against the Mayflower, decide whether kangaroos are bigger jerks than seagulls, and debate if sneezing for $5 million is worth the lifelong risk of getting power-slapped at a Creed concert.
This weekās Not Mottās Mailbag (brought to you by the LaFouche Concert & Events Club) is overflowing with unhinged questions:
-
How much do you owe your buddy if his $50 turns into a $100K casino jackpot? (Spoiler: some of yāall arenāt even paying him back the $50.)
-
Should 60+ yard field goals be worth more than three points? Or better yet, should we give bonus points for doinking the upright on purpose?
-
If forks disappeared from planet Earth, do we switch to chopsticks, sporks, or just raw-dog our spaghetti by hand?
-
Which animal would talk the most shit if it could speak? (Giraffes⦠the original nose-up Karens of the animal kingdom.)
-
And the important science question: Duck with a gator head, or gator with a duck head ā which one wins in a fight?
Plus, we debate four-day work weeks, Chinese buffets that look like abandoned shoe stores, whether dinosaurs were just dragons with better PR, and why Zeke from the ranch is a cuck for showing up to businesses before opening time.
Itās dumb. Itās chaotic. Itās everything you didnāt ask for but desperately need.

This week on the Group Chat Podcast, we sit down with a man whoās gone viral in the fight game ā From Lockport: Phillip āFreezer Burntā Goyne. His story isnāt polished or packaged; itās real. One week heās working his regular job and scrolling social media, the next heās stepping into the ring at a Bayou Brawlinā event, facing an opponent with far more experience and size.
We talk about how that moment came to be, what it felt like to walk out in front of a packed crowd of friends and neighbors, and the adrenaline rush of hearing his name chanted by his community. Phillip opens up about the lessons he learned in that first fight, the physical toll it took, and the mental drive it sparked to come back better.
From the childhood story that gave him his unforgettable nickname, to his commitment to train with respected local boxing figure Morgan Fitch, to his words of encouragement for anyone thinking of chasing a goal ā this is a conversation about more than boxing. Itās about grit, and the kind of small-town support that pushes someone to keep going when the odds arenāt in their favor.
We left this interview not just entertained, but inspired. Freezer Burnt may have taken some big shots in the ring, but heās still standing, still smiling, and still fighting ā both for himself and for everyone cheering him on from Lockport and beyond.

Buckle up, because this weekās episode has everything: a local boxing hero, a quarterback disaster, pro wrestling chaos, and the WNBAās newest⦠uh⦠āfan interactionā problem.
We kick things off celebrating Golden Meadowās own Victor Hernandez, who turned his latest fight into a 10th-round demolition job, keeping his undefeated record intact and leaving his opponent wondering if body shots should be outlawed. Al Bernstein is singing his praises (well, mostly), and weāre here for every bit of it.
Then we switch gears to the New Orleans Saints, where training camp reports are uglier than a preseason Superdome hot dog. Tyler Shoughās throwing more turnovers than completions, Spencer Rattlerās getting the āQB1 by defaultā treatment, and the Vegas odds now say weāre more likely to go 0-17 than win a Super Bowl. Naturally, we discuss the only logical scenarios: tanking for Arch Manning, riding the Nuss Bus, or starting the three-QB formation where your left guard throws the deep ball.
From there, itās SummerSlam weekend madnessāSeth Rollinsā surprise cash-in, Brock Lesnarās return looking like a human tank, John Cenaās heel potential dying before it could live, Logan Paul proving heās a future champ, and Jelly Roll somehow taking a table bump without breaking the table⦠or himself. We even touch on why the Wyatt 6 feels like āWalmart Brand Bray Wyattā and whether Jacob Fatu should be rocketing to a solo run ASAP.
And then⦠it gets weird. Real weird. The WNBA dildo saga has reached full-on āhow is this real lifeā status. Fans are chucking adult toys onto the court mid-game, sportsbooks are taking bets on the color, and security still hasnāt figured out how to spot someone smuggling one in. We debate the legal consequences, the janitorās MVP cleanup performance, and whether the league should just lean into it with sponsorship deals and hat-trick-style celebrations.
Somewhere in between, we roast Dabo Swinney for calling his shot on a 16-0 Clemson season, debate if the Saints will accidentally win just enough games to ruin draft position, and confirm that, yes, Brock Lesnar still allegedly has the wildest extracurricular stories in wrestling history.
Itās Bayou pride, Saints pain, wrestling chaos, and the kind of sports talk you wonāt get on ESPNābecause they wouldnāt let us past the parking lot.
