    GCP: Pick'em & Parlay (Wk:13) - We Took Each Other to Court Over a Google Form Pick

    🚨 DO NOT TAIL THIS PARLAY… UNLESS YOU ENJOY LOSING MONEY WITH FRIENDS. 🚨 Welcome to Group Chat Podcast: Pick’Em & Parlay, where: – We build cursed 4-leg parlays we know won’t hit – We hold fake court over Google forms – And grown men beg a spinning wheel to decide their fate. This week’s episode is absolute degeneracy: 🏈 The College Parlay from Hell The boys put together a 4-leg college football parlay and literally tell the audience: “This is the one to NOT put in your parlay at home.” Picks include: OU to beat Mizzou by more than a touchdown 🥴 UConn -7.5 behind a QB named Joe Fagnano that nobody had heard of 10 minutes earlier Jacksonville State -1.5 in a “small-town Saturday night” Sun Belt showdown North Texas vs Rice over 55.5 because “your boy Morris scores a lot” All that for +1361… aka a $5 donation to FanDuel with fake hope attached. 🏈 NFL Parlay: Truckin’, Shuckin’ & Bad Life Choices Then they head to the NFL and it somehow gets dumber: 49ers -7 vs Panthers because “they’ll gold-mine their way to a win” Jaguars -2.5 vs Cardinals as the “favorite pick”… which guarantees it loses Tyler Shough over 8.5 rushing yards because “he’s gonna be running for his life” Chase Brown over 53.5 rushing yards since “he’ll hit that by halftime” By the end, Nick proudly admits he’s basically made a weekly tithe to FanDuel. ⚖️ THE COURT CASE: Google Form vs On-Air Pick We get an actual fake trial because: – Casey picked the Eagles on the sheet 🦅 – But “AI doctored video” had him saying Lions on air 🦁 So now the show is arguing: “Does the Google form count as the contract… or does the sports media personality’s actual on-air pick count more?” Tommy goes full attorney, Casey goes full “objection,” the Wizard goes full “both of you are losers,” and the Wheel becomes the judge, jury, and executioner. 🎡 THE WHEEL OF DESTINY (AND PAIN) – The Wheel decides who’s right – The Wheel decides Chiefs vs Colts – The Wheel decides Georgia Tech vs Pitt – The Wheel decides who gets to brag for 24 hours in the group chat If you’ve ever screamed “RIGGED!” at your TV, you will spiritually connect with this segment. 🐯 LSU vs Western Kentucky & Saints vs Falcons Meltdown They break down: LSU -21.5 vs Western Kentucky, with half the panel terrified of Van Buren at QB and the other half just cheering for the defense to drag them across the finish line Falcons vs Saints, with Shough slander, “let’s get shucked up” jokes, and a full political monologue featuring LaToya vs Stacey Abrams for absolutely no reason Somehow this all ends in overtime scenarios, last-second field goals, and a rant about “some jackass on Facebook” taking pictures of fans in opposing jerseys. All backed by the official sponsors of chaos: Buzz Off Mosquito Control, Down South Cards & Bats, Lafourche Concert & Events Club, DTB Clothing, Blue Boot Foundation, Martin’s AC & Electric, Neil’s Small Engine, Performance Automotive & Accessories, Better Call Badeaux, and Precision Agra Spray. If you like: ✅ Horrible gambling logic ✅ Fake court cases over pick’em rules ✅ A wheel deciding your sports happiness ✅ Quotes like “lock up the puppies” and “truckin’ and shuckin’” 🎧 Hit play on this week’s “Pick’Em & Parlay” and tag your friend who thinks he’s a sharp but is really just Nick donating to FanDuel every week. #GroupChatPodcast #PickEmAndParlay #FadeUs #WheelCourt #TruckinAndShuckin #LockUpThePuppies

    🗿 Mount Rushmore: Athletes Who Looked Out of Shape… But Cooked Everybody Anyway

    🗿 Mount Rushmore: Athletes Who Looked Out of Shape… But Cooked Everybody Anyway Presented by Precision AgraSpray (they spray crops, not hamstrings) If you’ve ever watched sports and thought: “There’s no way that dude runs faster than me…” and then he drops 30, hits 3 homers, or knocks someone into 1947 — this episode is for you. This week, the boys debate the greatest athletes who looked like they’d lose a footrace to a recliner but STILL dominated their sport. And yes, feelings were hurt. Muting occurred. Google was abused. Top moments include: 🍕 Charles Barkley – “Round Mound of Rebound,” ate like eight pizzas at a time and still baptized people in the paint. 🍔 Cecil Fielder – The Detroit Tigers legend who looked like he trained at Golden Corral and still smashed 50 homers. 🚬 John Daly – Golfed with diet soda in one hand and America's respect in the other. 🍺 Babe Ruth – Apparently only 215 lbs, which means either his scale was a liar or 1920s hotdogs had steroids in them. 🥱 Nikola Jokic – Moves like he just woke up from a nap but is the best basketball player since Kobe. 🥃 David Wells – Pitched a perfect game looking like he ate the other pitcher. 🍩 Bartolo “Big Sexy” Colon – Hit a home run once and the internet shut down. 🍞 Jared Lorenzen – The Hefty Lefty, the Pillsbury Throwboy, an American hero. RIP. 🧀 Cici Sabathia – Captain Cheeseburger himself. 🍀 Butterbean – The Alabama pound-for-pound king of four-round brawls. ⚽ Diego Maradona – 5’2”, 275 lbs, and still better at soccer than all of us combined. Honorable mentions included: Refrigerator Perry, Moe Vaughn, Escalade from AND1, Sebastian Janikowski (the only kicker built like a nightclub bouncer), and even Donald Trump, champion golfer in his own mind. 🔥 Arguments broke out. 🔥 People got muted. 🔥 Someone said Babe Ruth wasn't fat enough (disrespectful but hilarious). 🔥 Case law was nearly cited. If you’ve ever believed deep in your heart that you too could be a professional athlete if they’d just let you warm up properly, this segment is your truth. ➡️ Tap play. Laugh. Send to a friend built like Bartolo Colon. #MountRushmore #ThiccLegends #BuiltDifferent #GroupChatPodcast

    Coach G Joins the Group Chat: Hoops Talk, Recruiting Realities & Baton Rouge Rumors

    🎙️ Group Chat Podcast: Coach Jeremiah Gray Joins the Show – Thibodaux Middle Basketball, Recruiting, and LSU Rumors This week’s Group Chat Podcast dives deep into middle school basketball madness and college football chaos, featuring one of the most respected middle school coaches and sports media personality in South Louisiana — Coach Jeremiah Gray of Thibodaux Middle School and G Sportz. 🏀 Thibodaux Basketball Talk: Coach G joins the show to break down his boys’ and girls’ basketball squads, both loaded with talent and primed for deep runs this season. He talks about balancing two teams, the challenges of coaching doubleheaders, and why his motto is simple: “Everybody eats.” Girls: experienced, gritty, and built for big moments. Boys: deep, versatile, and possibly one of the most talented rosters he’s ever coached. His secret? Creating “opportunity periods” in practice to keep competition healthy and attitudes right. 🌎 Recruiting & Real Talk: Coach G also shares his insider take on the new world of high school recruiting. From NIL chaos to shrinking college rosters, he stresses the importance of “just getting your foot in the door” — whether that’s D1, D2, Juco, or NAIA. His message to athletes: “Go where you’re wanted, dominate, and they’ll come calling.” He even drops some major LSU tea — including reports of Nick Saban being in Baton Rouge and what that might mean for the Tigers’ next head coach. 👀 🎧 Also in this Episode: Coach Damien St.Pierre previews his Golden Meadow Lady Lions 2025 season opening jamboree game and admits he just wanted to start last week and play anybody with a gym. The crew debates if LSU’s next coach could be someone nobody’s even talking about — from Kelvin Sheppard to… Jimbo Fisher?! (Lord help us.) Plus, a well-deserved shoutout to Thibodaux Middle’s entire athletic staff for creating one of the most professional and welcoming game-day environments in the parish. 📣 Sponsors: Big thanks to Buzz Off Mosquito Control, Down South Cards & Bats, Lafourche Concert & Events Club, DTB Clothing, Martin’s AC & Electric, Neil’s Small Engine, Riley John’s Blue Boot Foundation, Performance Automotive & Accessories, the Law Office of Tommy J. Badeaux, and Precision Agra Spray – the official sponsor of our Mount Rushmore segment. 👀 Final Take: This episode perfectly blends local sports pride, coaching insight, and LSU conspiracy energy — everything you’d expect Down the Bayou. 🎧 Stream now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and wherever you get your podcasts. #GroupChatPodcast #DownTheBayou #MiddleSchoolBasketball #CoachG #ThibodauxMiddle #LSUFootball #NIL #BayouSports

    Group Chat Podcast: Pick’Em & Parlay (Week 12) — The Turtle Got Fired Episode

    Group Chat Podcast: Pick’Em & Parlay — The Week Turtle Got Fired Featuring: Coach Brian Callais & One Empty Chair (that may get thrown) Welcome back to the most dysfunctional gambling show on the internet — the Group Chat Podcast: Pick’Em & Parlay, proudly sponsored by Buzz Off Mosquito Control, Down South Cards & Bats, Lafourche Concert & Events Club, DTB Clothing, Martin’s AC & Electric, Neil’s Small Engine, Riley John’s Blue Boot Foundation, Performance Automotive, Better Call Badeaux, and Precision Agra Spray (the official sponsor of our collective delusion). This week starts with breaking news: 🚨 Turtle has officially been FIRED. Not “on leave.” Not “stepping away.” Not “exploring other opportunities.” FIRED — for the crime of… not sending in his picks. Twice. Brian Kelly wishes his buyout was this clean. With Turtle gone, Coach Brian Callais steps into the studio, and the boys immediately try to put together the world’s saddest $5 parlay — a parlay that might hit for the first time in human history simply because Tommy isn’t allowed to participate. (He’s 0–ever. A perfect record.) We’ve got: 🏈 Damien betting like he’s trying to speed-run bankruptcy 🏈 Nick still insisting the Broncos are the best team in football 🏈 Tommy eating popcorn mid-show like he’s watching the downfall of mankind 🏈 The Wizard choosing teams based on mayoral scandals and which cities he “loves being in, Chaz and Chad.” 🏈 Coach Callais trying to be the adult in the room but getting dragged into khaki slander Then it’s on to the Pick’Em — where the standings are tighter than a Happy Meal budget at Turtle’s house. Tommy somehow has a one-game lead (must be cheating), the Wizard is powered by conspiracy theories, Nick is dropping the weekly Kiss of Death, and Nick's Wheel picks LSU so it doesn’t get Clintoned by Arkansas. And yes: ⭐ We discuss whether Turtle will still be allowed to wrestle in April. Spoiler: It’s not looking good. By the end: – The guys have turned Bobby Petrino into a WWE villain – Nick curses Baker Mayfield & Harlem Berry  – And the Wizard declares his loyalty to Latoya Cantrell for absolutely no reason whatsoever This is Pick’Em and Parlay — where the takes are hot, the bets are bad, and the HR department doesn’t exist. 🎧 Tune in, laugh, judge us, and blame Tommy when the parlay inevitably dies. 🐢 R.I.P. Turtle (the employment, not the human… we think).

    GCP: Pick'Em Week 11 | BYU’s Soaking Problem, Martin Van Buren’s Comeback, and Saints Fans in Denial

    🎙️ Group Chat Podcast: “Put Us in Running Time” We fire up Pick’em with a fresh sponsor roll call (shoutout Precision Agra Spray & the whole crew) and a brand-new “startup” you didn’t ask for: Turtle 2 Tommy Zero—specializing in domestic disputes & McChicken bets 😂. Then it’s mayhem: Florida @ Kentucky — interim bump vs. Big Blue trap game (plus a surprise political detour because… us). BYU @ Texas Tech — are the Cougs for real or is Cinderella turning into a pumpkin? Also: yes, soaking gets explained. You’re welcome, Internet. Eagles @ Packers — is Green Bay’s bounce-back real or will Don Henley and friends run the show? Saints @ Panthers — half the panel picks New Orleans to “win out,” then immediately chooses Carolina. Peak Group Chat energy. LSU @ Bama — post-BK vibes, Nussbus turbulence, and a Martin Van Buren cameo (historically accurate height, spiritually inaccurate optimism). Finally, we assemble a chaos parlay you should absolutely not mortgage the house for: CFB: Ohio State to cover a galaxy spread, Oregon by a TD, Notre Dame by a million, and A&M over Mizzou. NFL: Jags beat the Texans, Seahawks -6.5, Baker 2+ TDs, Jets–Browns under. If it hits, buy a family meal. If it misses… enjoy your McFlurry (because Hell just froze over). Come for the picks, stay for the wheel’s curse, the Kiss-of-Death, and the running joke that our parlays are charitable donations to FanDuel. 💸🏈

    🏈💥 Big Blue Breakdown: Week 10 – Tarpons Close the Regular Season + Lady Tarpons Keep Rolling 💥🏐

    🏈💥 Big Blue Breakdown: Week 10 – Tarpons Close the Regular Season + Lady Tarpons Keep Rolling 💥🏐 Presented by Buzz Off Mosquito Control, DTB Clothing, Precision Agra Spray, and the rest of our bayou dream team of sponsors. The regular season finale is HERE — and the South Lafourche Tarpons are headed to the river to battle Lutcher with playoff seeding on the line. 🐟⚡ • Meathead looked like vintage Meathead last week and he’ll need to be again — Lutcher’s nose guard has BJ calling him “the best D-lineman I’ve ever seen.” • Tarpons defense dominated vs. Ellender. Can they do it again against one of the fastest teams in the state? • Thibodaux finally shut Casey up (for now) after beating Terrebonne — but can they really go toe-to-toe with Destrehan this week? 👀 • Plus: playoff math, the LHSAA formula that everyone hates but somehow works, and a full Bayou region playoff outlook. Meanwhile, the Lady Tarpons volleyball team is out here bulldozing Morgan City and punching their ticket closer to Lafayette-bound — even without one of their top hitters. Coach Cheramie’s crew is spiking through the parish like a hurricane with knee pads. 🎧 Tune in for all things Bayou sports: the playoff picture, the trash talk, and the kind of logic only South Lafourche fans will understand. #GroupChatPodcast #BigBlueBreakdown #TarponNation #SouthLafourche #BayouSports #LadyTarpons #DownTheBayou
