Episode Date: August 13, 2025

Earlier we discussed the stupidity of John Mateer. Now, we introduce you to LSU running back JT Lindsey. My man was arrested by the US Marshalls for letting his buddies, who happened to be on the run after maybe committing a murder, crash in his dorm. He's a sharp one. Learn more about your ad choices.

So here's a story that I'm a couple days late on, but it's a great story nonetheless. I just haven't talked about it yet. Honestly, I had forgotten about it because it happened over the weekend. And now it's just come to my attention again as I'm thinking about stupid things that athletes have been doing lately. Like John Mateer three years ago posting that, you know, I'm sports betting and here's my Venmo transactions. But this story is fascinating because we might be dealing with one. of the dumbest people ever. And that's saying something because the state of Louisiana produces many dumb people. We are not a smart place. We can pump them out. We, along with Mississippi and

Alabama, down there in SEC country, we can pump out some good old salt to the earth folks. We could also pump out some real dipsets. And today's dipshit is J.T. Lindsay, who has been arrested. He was arrested by campus police. Well, he turned himself in on Friday. Friday afternoon. What did this guy do? Headline reads, LSU running back arrested for allegedly harboring two murder suspects. Let's play a few commercials and let's dive into this stupidity. So J.T. Lindsay is one of these dudes who is a highly sought after, highly touted prospect. I want to say like a four-star type of guy. I believe he's from Alexandria, which is not really particular. close to Baton Rouge, but it's a Louisiana guy. Everywhere's close to everywhere in Louisiana.

I mean, it's not a huge place, right? So, you know, he's a Louisiana guy that goes to LSU. He turned himself into campus police on Friday after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Lindsay was wanted for accessory after the fact a second-degree murder after he allegedly allowed two teenage fugitives to stay in his campus dorm room. Shemel Jacob 17 and Keldrick Jordan 18 were wanted on murder charges stemming from the May killing of 17-year-old Corey Brooks and Alexandria. They were arrested this past Monday at the Nicholson Gateway Dorms on LSU's campus by the U.S. Marshals. They ain't fucking around. Deputy Sam Gerard found his fugitive baby. Every outhouse, in-house, doghouse, and that area.

Our fugitive's name is Shemel Jacobs and Keldrick Jordan. Go get them. They had been staying in Lindsay's dorm room for nearly two weeks. That's the thing. I mean, look, if they killed this person, that's no good. But hell of a job by them, you know, evading the authorities from May. So this would have been the murders took place in May, and they've been on the run since May. So we are in August.

That was August, what, 9th or 8th, whenever they were caught. So they got like three months. I wonder what that's like. You're on the lamb. You know eventually you're going to get caught. There is no coming back from this unless somehow you flee the country and you're over in Mexico or something or you're off to France or somewhere, you know, just get away. But you know eventually the jig will be up.

We're fucking with the U.S. Marshals right now. The U.S. Marshals who chase Dr. Richard Kimball. That's the U.S. Marshals we're talking about here. They are not to be fucked with. They're going to catch you inevitably, right? So I wonder what that's like. Like, I wonder what it's like to have killed two people, presumably, or it's killed someone. It's two people that are charged with the murder of one person.

Like, I wonder what that feels like. Like, it has to feel like shit. Like, all of us have been in a situation where we know that we're going to get in trouble for something. It's just a matter of time. It's like that feeling you get. when you know your report card sucks and you've spent all day knowing your report card sucks but your parents haven't seen your report card yet so they don't know your report card sucks but you know inevitably they're going to find out like you might be able to hide it from them

like you come home and like your mom decides to just randomly doesn't know it's report card day so she doesn't ask you that it's report card day or she doesn't know that it's report card so she doesn't ask you for a report card so you just kind of like skirt around for a couple days but then they mail the fucking report card or in today or in the instances of today's world, like up on the portal, like the school's portal has the report card and that's when your mom sees it. So you really can't enjoy yourself because you know you didn't really get away with it. You know at some point your mom's going to find out that your report card sucked and you're going to be fucked and probably grounded and can't hang out. And there's no joy.

Like if you're on the lamb, you're on the run, in this instance, for killing someone, you know you're going to get caught. Like there's no way you just sit around and it's like, hey, you want to like play some madden or something to pass the time. Every thought you have is, holy shit, once eventually catch me, I'm going to jail, and given the way the system works, I'll probably be there for fucking ever. Like, to me, I don't know, like, at that point, get the fuck out of the country. Why the hell are you going to your buddy's dorm room at LSU? They had been staying in Lindsay's dorm room for nearly two weeks.

Marshall's found multiple firearms upon arresting the two teenagers, including two AR-15 rifles, a Draco, Draco, and a Glock. I don't know a lot about guns. That's the other thing, right? Like, my dudes here brought some fucking golden-eye 007 arsenal with them. The warrant for Lindsay's arrest alleges that he was aware that Jacobs and Jordan were wanted for murder. The accessory charge stems from allegations that Lindsay knowingly harbored and aided Jacobs and Jordan. Lindsay's defense attorney, Chris Perret, said the running back was unaware that the teens were wanted for murder

and was participating in fall football camp while the arrest took place. right so these are probably his buddies from high school his buddies show up kind of like in a you know it's like a raising Arizona situation where you know John Goodman and his buddies show up at H.I. McDonough's house and like they're harboring these fugives and Holly Hunter knows that their fugitives. I'm fairly certain that this guy like if you want me to buy that shit I can't buy that for a second now if your buddies don't show up with you know an arsenal from I'm 007, then maybe I could say, oh, look, my buddies are just randomly in Baton Rouge today, and we went to high school together, and we're the best of friends, and oh, they want to hang with me for two weeks of the dorm. That sounds lovely.

That, I would say, like, is very, very unlikely, but okay. That's if they have no guns. If they have two AR-15s, a Draco, and a Glock, Are you asking any questions about why? Why they have those things? Like, they show up. Do they have them hidden? Like, at some point, like, I can't imagine they just leave them in the bag the whole time.

Again, I'm just trying, in this situation, just to give you the benefit of the doubt and try to lay out a path where maybe you had no clue that these two dudes killed a guy allegedly and then had a baggie full of guns on them. Like, I'm trying to operate in a universe where maybe. possibly maybe possibly maybe maybe possibly this could have been this way but it could have been a great sitcom misunderstanding but i can't find a world where i believe that's true you think when you're harboring these dudes for over two weeks like let's just say you had no clue like at any point did you just ask like hey guys why are you randomly in my dorm room at lSU like i play football at LSU now. I've made it in life. I got out of Alexandria or wherever the hell we're from and I'm playing at LSU and I've got a big future ahead. Like, what's in the bag,

fellas? Or why are you here for two weeks and why are you sweating so much? None of these questions were asked. So kind of like how we talked about John Mateer and how like I can believe that someone is dumb enough to just like it is like I find it hard to believe that somebody is dumb enough to commit an infraction and then basically publicly post that they committed an infraction like I can buy like that you know maybe like like that's just I can't operate in that world I also cannot operate in a world where two dudes may have killed someone you've kept them in your dorm for two weeks and you have no idea that they did anything now in his defense he's a fucking moron okay so that's stupid like you're throwing

your life away now you're being involved in this like you are stupid but these young dudes protect their podness these young dudes feel a you know a loyalty to dudes that they grew up with it's something that I don't fully understand like like I have a lot of good friends from high school still two of my best friends were my best friends in high school but if my best friends from high school killed somebody you know I would be like the mom in uh in blow that scene where you know, Johnny Depp, it comes home, he's got like the denim jacket on and the ponytail and he's downstairs talking to Ray Leota and they have this nice emotional conversation. And then, like, you hear the cops show up and he goes nuts and he's running around and gets

arrested. And the mom is standing outside as he's getting arrested and she basically tells him that she's the one that called the cops on him. He was like basically, you know, skipping bail or whatever the hell he was on the run, right? And she's like, like basically tells him, hey, I called the cops on. you and the dad's like, what the fuck? And she's like, you think people don't know you're a drug dealer? And that, like, I don't know why that had anything to do with anything, but like,

like, that's how I would be. Like, if my buddy showed up and they may have killed two people, I'm like, listen, pal, this can't last forever. Now, granted, that's what the benefit of being a 39-year-old dude, not an 18-year-old dude or a 19-year-old dude. Like, I get it, you want to protect your boys, and you probably have a great loyalty to each other and all that shit. But like, me, I'd be like, listen, I love you,

and we're going to be best friends forever, but you can't be on the run forever. So now that I know this, you've put me in a really shitty situation, and I have to call the cops. I love you, and I hope you didn't do this, and I hope you'd away with it, and I hope after this is all said and done,

we can be the best of friends. But my fucking ass ain't going to jail for you, and I'm not going to harbor your ass. I'm not going to put you up in here. And then they show up with multiple guns, and you're like, I don't think they did anything. I believe them. Right.

right right but it is tough like I will give him this though like it is tough when you're 18 years old and you come from a small town and the loyalties run deep particularly what I have experiences in like like black communities like loyalties run deep that way bro like people have that kind of loyalty with each other because those are your pod does those are the dudes you grew up with those are the dudes you ran the road with maybe you played high school football with and you're the dude that got out and you're kind of the hero of the town and like you see it all the time. It's not some sort of new development. It's a tale. It's all this time. But you've got to think, like, if you're Brian Kelly today, and Brian Kelly doesn't seem to suffer fools very

lightly. Like, he's the kind of guy that'll tell you, hey, you're a fucking moron. Like, imagine you're Brian Kelly today, and you're fighting for your job, and, you know, you're putting up a million dollars of your own money for the portal, and you're trying to win at LSU, and you sign some kid, four-star. Maybe he's going to be good. Maybe he's not. But he's in Louisiana. you keep him home and you're just trying to win fucking football games people shitting on you because of this SEC TV show whatever you just you know the pressure's on you you got to make the playoff all this shit and you've got one of your players who's so stupid that he harbors two dudes that maybe possibly killed somebody like Brian Kelly has got to be like what the fuck bro like why why are you people so stupid so I mean look all jokes aside about it Like, if you're in that spot and you're that kid, like I can, like, let's put it this way. It's possible to understand something and also think it's dumb as fuck. I can understand where your boys are like, hey, we need a place to stay, man.

I cannot operate in a universe where he doesn't know that they probably killed two people. I can't operate in a universe where your two buddies show up. They got guns and shit. And they want to stay in your crib for two weeks. And you don't know that they did something. But I can also, like, I get if you're a young guy, you're not going to do. dime your guys out. As a 39-year-old guy, I'd be like speed dial, beep-bo, beep, peepo, beep. Deputy Sam Gerard, U.S. Marshals, hello, this is Josh Ennis of Wheels. Hey, my best friend is here,

and yeah, he killed the person, I think, and I just want to let you know because I ain't going down for this shit. I got a morning radio show to do in Detroit. Anyway, more to come.
