In the debut episode of The Group Chat Podcast powered by By-U Sports, co-hosts Casey Gisclair, Damien St. Pierre, and Nick Hebert launch the show with high energy, raw takes, and a few laughs at Tommy Badeaux’s technical troubles—though he still manages to sponsor the phone lines via his law office.

This episode mixes humor, hot takes, and heart as the crew covers:

🏌️ Masters Recap: Rory McIlroy’s rollercoaster win takes center stage, with breakdowns of key shots, Scheffler’s struggles, and DeChambeau’s collapse.

🏈 Saints Talk: The crew debates Derek Carr’s alleged injury drama, Saints’ future QB options (Arch? Shador?), and the general dysfunction of the franchise.

🏀 Pelicans Hot Seat: The guys discuss the Joe Dumars hire, Zion trade rumors, and whether it's time to tear down the team and start over—again.

📬 Mott Mailbag Returns: Fan questions roll in on everything from yelling at dudes named Tim to NIL chaos, youth sports boundaries, WrestleMania predictions, conspiracy theories, peanut butter preferences, and whether Wilt Chamberlain really scored 100 points.
