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.
