In this One Wire Short episode , we open the phone lines and end up with a full-blown wrestling promo with Mustang Mike, the AIWF World Heavyweight Champion and Louisiana indie wrestling legend.

Mike talks about the card featuring talent from Mississippi to Atlanta to the Gulf Coast ā including a light heavyweight title match, a long-standing Ā grudge match, and his own main event showdown against long-time rival Gil Gracie. This feud spans 25 years and it's all coming to a head in a match that could tear the roof off the building.

- Why indie wrestling hits different than WWE or AEW
- The importance of storytelling over flippity-flop false finishes
- That time Jerry Lawler showed up and lit the crowd on fire
- Mustang Mikeās unlikely friendship with E.D. Whiteās Football Coach and why 90 teenagers in a VIP section might steal the show

šļøGroup Chat Podcast: Not Motts Mailbag (EP:6) | "Flag Football, Fried Smokies, and Other Bad Decisions"
Presented by the Lafourche Concert and Events Club
Welcome back to the Group Chat Podcast, where chaos reigns and logic takes a backseat.
This weekās Not Mottās Mailbag is jam-packed with the kind of questions only our loyal (and probably slightly unhinged) listeners could come up with. Buckle up as Casey, Damien, and Nick dive into:
Ā
š¤ The Ultimate Crawfish Boil Draft ā From sausage to snow crab legs to questionable green beans, we name the Top 5 non-seafood boil add-ons and start more culinary arguments than any food network show ever has.
Ā
š Girls Flag Football on the Bayou? ā With the LHSSA approving a pilot program, we ask: Will South Lafourche field a team? Will anyone give up basketball for it? And are we actually headed for a future of Friday night flag games?
Ā
š„ Post-Event Shower Power Rankings ā Mardi Gras funk, golf-day grime, hurricane sweat, casino cigarette stench... we rank which showers hit the hardest after a long day of Louisiana living.
Ā
š¤ Karaoke Showdown ā Tupac, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Thunderstruck all get their moment. Bonus: We reveal which song gets the entire car belting out lyrics like idiots before practice.
Ā
š Wrestling Royalty ā Which legendary wrestlers never held the heavyweight belt but totally deserved it? Spoiler: Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Mr. Perfect, and the Million Dollar Man get their flowers.
Ā
šÆ Joe Exotic Replies to Us on Twitter ā Yes, the Tiger King himself. No, we are not okay.
Ā
š Half-Court for Freedom ā Would you risk 3 years in jail for a $2 million shot from half court? Weāre taking bets (and possibly calling Tommy Badeaux for legal backup).
Ā
š§ Sunflower Seed Flavor Debate ā Garlic parm, Old Bay, sweet & spicy, nacho cheese... letās just say Davidās might owe us a sponsorship by now.
Ā
Plus, MJ is joining TV, the SEC might break up with the NCAA, and we desperately want to bring local wrestling shows back to the Cut Off Youth Center. Ohāand we give out restaurant recs, debate best basketball shoes ever, and admit weāve all abandoned things we liked just because annoying people started liking them too.
Ā
š§ One part therapy, one part stupidity, and all parts Bayou.

We kick things off with Good Dude of the Week (spoiler: Caitlin Clark wins for not playing), before diving into overrated/underrated Louisiana towns (Thibodaux, take cover).

- Should high school coaches practice arguing with refs? (Seriously, this was a real LHSSA suggestion.)
- A full preview of Victor Hernandez's upcoming fight at The Metro in New Orleans.

- A heartfelt thank you to gnats, termites, and whoever invented Joe Bobās Burgers.
Plus:
- Mary Lou Retton DUI drama
