Dylan Anglin W/ Anglin Plumbing & Landscape Joins The Show

THUG Teens To Be Charged As Adults For Gun Crimes In Mississippi (Ep #1,198)

Listener texts and livestream comments pour in as Clay runs an unofficial poll: Andy Gibson, Philip Gunn, Shad White, Lynn Fitch, and Delbert Hoseman all get love from the audience. Clay breaks down what he likes about each man — Andy's likability and “cowboy” energy, Shad's analytical surgeon's-blade style, Philip's master-diplomat skills that flipped the House, and the fundraising firepower of Delbert and Lynn. The highlight is a must-hear phone call from Kingfish of Jackson Jambalaya. Kingfish drops real talk on the money chase: Shad White and Lynn Fitch are currently leading in fundraising, but Delbert can raise cash like nobody else. He explains why name ID matters outside the Jackson bubble, why Philip Gunn is strong in Central Mississippi but needs to build recognition statewide, and why get-out-the-vote efforts will decide it all. Kingfish also shares breaking scoop on Lynn Fitch and a major private-prison company donation that's raising eyebrows. Clay keeps it real about his personal relationships with the candidates, the flag controversy, and why this primary already feels like the most interesting one of his lifetime. Pure insider analysis, listener interaction, and straight Mississippi political talk.

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay delivers a refreshingly honest reminder that it's not only okay — it's healthy — to have real passions and interests outside of politics and the endless culture war. He opens up about his personal Facebook page, where politics barely exists. Instead, it's packed with pictures of his dogs, animal rescue shares, killer food, wrestling, sports, boxing, MMA, and all the fun stuff that actually makes life worth living. Clay pushes back hard against the toxic crowd that hunts him down on his personal profile just to attack him, acting like you're not allowed to enjoy anything if you have strong political opinions. As a proud Gen Xer, he celebrates how his generation made it normal for grown men to still collect the toys they loved as kids — GI Joes, Star Wars figures, wrestling memorabilia — and to keep enjoying comic books, action movies, and the hobbies that bring real joy. “Wrestling's fake? So is the news you watch every night,” he quips with classic Clay humor. Politics and culture war battles aren't #1 or even #2 in his life, and he says they don't have to be in yours either. This one's a fun, human, no-BS segment about balance, joy, and remembering there's a whole world outside the outrage machine.

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay kicks things off with a fun, no-holds-barred chat about the best foods that look terrible but taste amazing. He dives deep into his love for meatloaf Wednesdays and killer chicken spaghetti—sharing his grandmother's recipe secrets with dark meat, Rotel tomatoes, Velveeta, cream of chicken, and a little stir-fried fajita veggies for extra flavor. Listeners jump in with their own favorites: smothered hamburger steak, sausage and country gravy, Swiss steak, dumplings, and even smoked pig ears from the Big Apple Inn. It's a celebration of real comfort food that doesn't need to look pretty on a plate—just needs to hit the soul. From there, Clay shifts gears to some genuinely positive news coming out of Jackson. The governor has signed off on tens of millions in state funding for major projects—road and infrastructure repairs, park upgrades, drainage work, museums, symphony instruments for schools, and more. He breaks down what this could mean under the new mayor, why it feels like a fresh start, and what it'll take for real, lasting progress after years of dysfunction. The show stays wide open with listener texts, quick hits on the Mississippi governor's race (including early thoughts on Andy Gibson, Philip Gunn, Shad White, and the rest of the field), and plenty of unfiltered Southern straight talk. Casual, funny, opinionated, and zero fluff—this one's pure Clay Edwards.

Clay opens the show addressing the intense online hate and backlash after posting a photo of a professional panhandler set up in the middle of a busy Jackson intersection. He doubles down on his “Only in Jackson” point, explains why this kind of thing isn't tolerated anywhere else, and pushes back hard against accusations of racism. In hour two, Andrew Gasser joins Clay in the studio for a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from the obvious racial double standards in America (including the Barbie Bassett WLBT firing case), to Gen Z's rejection of fragility, the failure of cities like Jackson, and why some people seem allergic to accountability. Unfiltered, no sugar added talk about culture rot, personal responsibility, and why Clay refuses to back down or apologize for telling the truth.

Clay and Andrew Gasser discuss former WLBT anchor Barbie Bassett's federal lawsuit after she was fired for quoting Snoop Dogg's famous line “for shizzle my nizzle” while promoting his wine on air. They break down the obvious double standard: a white anchor gets terminated for using slang created by a Black rapper, while the same station and culture would never hold a Black anchor to the same rule. Clay points out how this fits a larger pattern of unequal enforcement, hypersensitivity, and the weaponization of language in the workplace and media. The conversation dives into the broader racial double standards in America today — from “you can't say that” rules that only apply to one group, to the backlash against anyone who dares point it out. Unfiltered talk about race, language, cancel culture, and why some words and phrases get a free pass while others destroy careers.

Clay and Andrew Gasser discuss the unofficial cancellation of Black Spring Break on the Mississippi Gulf Coast this weekend. They break down the heavy police presence, towing of vehicles, strict enforcement, and the resulting meltdown from activists claiming discrimination and major financial losses for the coast. Clay and Andrew talk about the difference between “spring break” and the chaos that often follows these large events, the reality of balancing tourism with public safety, and whether the coast made the right call by cracking down instead of looking the other way. Raw, honest conversation about culture, enforcement, and why some events come with a higher price tag than others.

Clay and Andrew Gasser break down the news that Kamala Harris is seriously considering a 2028 presidential run. They discuss how someone who couldn't win a primary in 2024 and dropped out early in 2020 could possibly think she has a shot, the dangerous level of Trump Derangement Syndrome still infecting the left, and whether the Democrats have learned anything from their recent defeats or are still completely detached from reality. Clay and Andrew also talk about the shifting political landscape, the loud minority vs. the silent majority, and what a potential Harris comeback attempt would actually look like.

Clay addresses the massive backlash after he posted a photo of a woman set up selling items (and taking donations) from a chair in the middle of a busy Jackson intersection. He explains what he meant by “Only in Jackson,” why this kind of thing isn't tolerated in surrounding cities, and how the post blew up with thousands of angry comments calling him racist. Clay also discusses his conversation with Angela Buckner from The MIC Magazine, where they talk about the photo, the emotional reaction from the black community, the reality of law enforcement (or lack thereof) in Jackson, and the unintended positive outcome when people rage-donated to the woman to spite him. Controversial, unfiltered, and no apologies — Clay breaks it all down.

Clay sits down with Angela Buckner of The MIC Magazine to break down the horrific mass shooting in Belzoni that left five people shot and one dead at an after-party following the Catfish Festival. Angela and Clay discuss the lack of any fight or warning, the hundreds of gunshots captured on video, the pattern of unprovoked violence in the Delta, and why these incidents keep happening with little accountability. They also talk about the broader culture issues, the failure of local leadership, and what it will take to stop the cycle.

Clay kicks off a Manic Monday with special guest Angela Buckner from The MIC Magazine, diving deep into the mass shooting in Belzoni that left five people shot and one dead at an after-party following the Catfish Festival. They discuss the lack of warning, the culture of violence in the Delta, and why these incidents keep happening with no real accountability. In hour two, Andrew Gasser joins Clay in the studio for a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from Kamala Harris floating a 2028 presidential run, the shifting political landscape, to the difference between “conflict” and all-out war in the Middle East. Clay also addresses the backlash from his “Only in Jackson” post about a street vendor setup at a busy intersection, explains his point about law enforcement and culture rot, and reflects on how hate and controversy often drive real-world results — whether people admit it or not.

Clay Edwards gets brutally honest about his disappointment in many of the vaccine rights and health freedom activists he respects and has had on the show. These are the same people who fought hard against mandates for years — and now they're quickly turning their backs on Donald Trump over the Epstein files and U.S. action in Iran. He calls it “really amazing” that they're abandoning him after Trump delivered exactly what they wanted: bringing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. into the administration and launching the full MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement. Clay points out the real progress already happening — unwinding unnecessary vaccine mandates and getting poisons out of America's food supply — and urges them to show some gratitude instead of one-issue tunnel vision and purity testing. No name-calling, but no sugarcoating either. Clay invites any of them to come on the show next week and defend their stance, then drops the simple question everyone should be asking: would you really rather have Kamala Harris right now? Classic, unfiltered Clay Edwards reality radio.

Clay Edwards gets an unexpected call from an Insure Me Obamacare marketplace rep who launches into the usual scripted pitch about updating his health plan, new subsidies, and comparing 2026 options. He plays along politely for a few seconds, asking questions like a normal customer… then casually drops the bomb: “Actually, you're on the air right now — y'all just called into a radio show here in Jackson, Mississippi. ”The caller immediately freezes, stumbles over his words, and quickly bails with “I'll just mark that as the wrong number.” Clay cracks up and says, “Gotta have a little fun every now and then. ”Classic live radio gotcha moment — turning the tables on one of those annoying insurance callers in real time.  

Clay Edwards kicks off the show with a question that instantly hits a nerve with every driver: What's the single most annoying feature on today's vehicles — the default setting you didn't ask for, or that overpriced bells-and-whistles upgrade you never use?   He leads the charge with his #1 hatred: the auto start-stop system that kills the engine at every red light and stop sign. Then the phones light up and the texts flood in as listeners unload. Apple CarPlay hijacking phone calls and blasting them through the speakers at full volume. Radar cruise control that nervously speeds up and slows down in traffic. Lane-keeping alerts and vibrating seats. Blinding headlights that swivel with the steering wheel and light up oncoming drivers like a police spotlight. Auto high beams that flicker like a strobe light. Automatic volume adjustment, displacement-on-demand engines that murder Chevy camshafts, windshield washer fluid that sprays through the wipers instead of on the glass, and a dozen more. Clay weaves in hilarious stories from his years in the car business, generational rants about what “fully loaded” used to mean back in the '80s and '90s (power windows, CD player, and leather — that was it), and plenty of nostalgic memories about learning to drive a stick shift in old trucks with bench seats. Raw, relatable, and laugh-out-loud funny — this is the ultimate group therapy session for anyone who's ever wanted to rip the wiring out of a brand-new vehicle. If you drive anything made in the last ten years, you're gonna be yelling “YES!” at your speakers the whole time.

Clay Edwards goes full scorched-earth on the fair-weather MAGA crowd in this fiery segment. After Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, and the rest of the grifter class abandoned Donald Trump over the Epstein files and U.S. strikes on Iran, Clay crowns himself the new MAGA King — ride-or-die, no apologies. He rips into the “faux MAGA,” “Panikins,” and isolationist sissy cucks who hijacked “America First” into “no more wars ever,” calling them out for one-issue-voter tunnel vision and sudden panic the second Trump handles actual terrorists screaming “death to America.” Clay makes it crystal clear: sometimes you still have to do American badass stuff. FAFO Friday isn't just a slogan — every now and then the tree of liberty gets watered with the blood of enemies, and Trump is finally showing the world why America is still the superpower. No hedging, no virtue-signaling, just pure unfiltered Clay: be grateful for the wins, stop crying about the hard calls, and quit turning on Trump the second things get real. Pure fire.

Clay Edwards unloads on the WAPT exposé that's got everyone talking: the daily takeover of the Stop and Shop gas station on Beasley Road — directly across the street from Callaway High School — by “Young Ninjas” (YNs). Parents are dropping kids off an hour and a half before school even starts, turning the parking lot into a full-blown fight club by 7:30 a.m. Large crowds, brawls, loitering, and total disrespect for employees have turned the convenience store into a no-go zone, with hours of security footage proving it's happening every single day. Clay breaks down the raw video, the frustrated employees who say the school and resource officers are doing nothing, and the deeper cultural rot behind it. He doesn't hold back on why certain Jackson gas stations have become modern-day battlegrounds, the “snitch” backlash coming for the people who exposed it, and what this says about accountability in Mississippi's capital.  

Clay opens with a hilarious, highly relatable question of the day: what's the most annoying feature on modern cars? From the auto start-stop system that kills the engine at every red light, to blinding headlights that turn with the wheel, lane-keeping alerts, radar cruise control, and a dozen other “safety” bells and whistles nobody asked for, Clay rants, shares war stories from his car-sales days, and reads listener call-ins and texts about the gadgets that drive them crazy. The conversation quickly pivots to politics as Clay crowns himself the “MAGA King,” refusing to abandon Donald Trump while calling out the fair-weather voices in conservative media who have bailed over the Epstein files and recent strikes on Iran. He delivers a fiery, no-apologies defense of America First realism: sometimes you still have to handle bad actors, and he's ride-or-die on it. On the local front, Clay breaks down raw Jackson stories making headlines — including the epidemic of student fights and chaos at a gas station right across from Callaway High School (complete with security footage) and a brazen carjacking/robbery caught on video at the Wendy's on High Street. He also touches on the Jackson Police Chief's contract drama and Melania Trump's unexpected comments on the Epstein situation. Packed with generational car nostalgia, stick-shift memories, family stories, and Clay's signature unfiltered commentary, this episode is pure free-range human reality radio. Buckle up — it's a wild, honest ride.

The Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1193: Jada Kelly DUI Verdict – Two Dead, One Mangled, and She Walks Free Clay breaks down the shocking Hinds County jury verdict in the Jada Kelly case: not guilty on all counts of aggravated DUI after she allegedly drove with a blood alcohol level of 0.182 — more than twice the legal limit — and killed two sisters while severely injuring a third man. He plays out the disturbing details of the crash on I-55 Frontage Road, questions how the case fell apart in court, and calls out what he sees as clear two-tier justice in Hinds County. The segment gets even more intense when a heartbroken father calls in to share his own daughter's very different experience with a DUI crash — a white girl who received decades in prison under far less clear circumstances. Clay lays out his blunt theory: If Jada Kelly had been white and the victims Black, she would have been found guilty in five seconds flat. He explores whether the DA's office, the judge, or the jury bears the blame, and what this verdict says about accountability in Jackson. Raw, emotional, and unfiltered talk on crime, justice, and double standards in Central Mississippi.

The Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1193: FAFO Championship Winner – Kalveonte Moore & The 4+ Vowel Criminal Mastermind Theory Clay kicks off the show by crowning a brand new FAFO Champion: carjacking suspect Kalveonte Moore. After a wild pursuit on Highway 49 that ended with spike strips and a stolen car recovered, Clay breaks down why names with four or more vowels (plus rogue V's, Z's, or X's) seem to be a statistically proven red flag for serious criminal activity in Jackson. From “serial killer level” naming trends to single-mom name generators and the undeniable pattern he's observed covering Jackson crime, Clay delivers his signature unfiltered take on why certain names keep showing up in the police blotter — and why trends don't lie. It's part comedy, part cold observation, and 100% Clay Edwards. If you like raw, no-holds-barred commentary on Jackson crime stories, this segment is a must-listen.

The Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1193: Gabriel Prado, Don Gabriel Gas Stations, and the “Gentrification is Racist” Scam** Clay and Kingfish from JacksonJambalaya.com rip into the latest attack on one of Jackson's most active developers, Gabriel Prado. When a local podcaster accuses Prado of “gentrifying” Jackson with Prado Lofts (that “no one in Jackson can afford”) and turning rundown gas stations into Don Gabriel locations that supposedly price people out, Clay and Kingfish dismantle the claims point by point. They expose the misinformation, question why anyone investing real money into cleaning up blighted properties and building mixed-use developments gets labeled racist, and ask the obvious: If black ownership is so important, why attack the guy actually fixing up gas stations and investing millions instead of doing it yourself? From Topgolf to Prado Lofts to revitalized convenience stores, the conversation cuts through the noise on why some voices scream “gentrification” every time someone tries to improve Jackson — and why that mindset keeps the city stuck. Unfiltered talk on development, investment, and the tired “gentrification is racist” narrative in Jackson, Mississippi. Guest: Kingfish – JacksonJambalaya.com

Clay takes a hard look at Jackson's newly appointed police chief and asks the question everyone's thinking: Is she more high-maintenance bougie diva than effective crime fighter? From the brand-new Dodge Durango GT she's already rolling in, to the requested one-year severance package (a full year's salary if she's fired for almost any reason), Clay and special guest Kingfish from JacksonJambalaya.com break down whether this hire is worth the squeeze. They discuss the optics of giving an expensive new vehicle and security detail to the chief while the city faces a massive budget deficit, the red flags from her previous job, and whether the early returns suggest she's the solution Jackson needs — or just another expensive disappointment. Plus: First-day arrests at Rebel Woods Apartments and what real progress against crime in Jackson might actually look like. Raw, unfiltered talk on one of Jackson's biggest issues right now.

The Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1193: New Jackson Police Chief – Bougie Diva or the Real Deal? In this explosive hour, Clay dives deep into the controversial hiring of Jackson's new police chief and whether the early returns suggest she's more high-maintenance diva than crime-fighting powerhouse. Joined by Kingfish of JacksonJambalaya.com, they peel back the layers on her flashy new Dodge Durango, the questionable contract demands (including a massive one-year severance package), and whether this hire is the fresh start Jackson desperately needs or just more of the same. Clay and Kingfish also break down the dramatic Gabriel Prado / Don Gabriel gas stations controversy — addressing accusations of “gentrification,” the reality of what's actually happening with these redevelopment projects, and why some local voices seem determined to attack anyone actually investing in Jackson. Additional topics include: - A wild FAFO Championship winner (Carjacking suspect Kalveonte Moore) - The Jada Kelly DUI verdict and questions about two-tier justice in Hinds County - Rebel Woods Apartments arrests and what real progress against crime might look like Unfiltered, no-sugar-added talk radio at its finest. If you want straight talk on Jackson's crime, politics, and development battles, this episode delivers. Guest: Kingfish – JacksonJambalaya.com

Clay opens the show with a fiery victory lap: While liberals, RINOs, and “panickins” were melting down and demanding the 25th Amendment because Trump tweeted tough on Iran, he delivered results — forcing a ceasefire, keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, and stabilizing oil prices without firing a single American shot. Clay mocks the same deranged voices who spent days screaming that Trump was about to start World War III, only to watch Iran bend the knee. He calls out their hypocrisy: they'd rather drag America into another endless war than admit Trump's approach actually worked. Raw, unfiltered, and zero apologies — exactly how a Clay Edwards opening should sound.

Clay breaks down the surprising difference in cousin marriage laws between Mississippi and Florida. In Mississippi, first-cousin marriage is explicitly illegal and considered incestuous and void under state law. Clay reads the statute and explains why the ban has been in place for decades. In Florida, first-cousin marriage is still fully legal. A bill that would have banned it failed to pass in the 2026 legislative session, even with support from Governor DeSantis. Clay ties the conversation into broader cultural issues, including Sharia law, bloodline purity, and why some states still allow it while others (like Mississippi) do not. A straightforward, no-BS look at a topic most people don't realize varies so wildly by state.

Clay opens with a fiery victory lap: Big Daddy Trump saved the world again with “mean tweets,” forcing Iran into a ceasefire, keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, and stabilizing oil prices — all without firing a single American shot. He mocks liberals, RINOs, and “panickins” who spent days screaming that Trump was about to start World War III and are now melting down because he actually delivered results. Clay then hands out a particularly nasty FAFO Championship after a Horn Lake man pleads guilty to unnatural intercourse with the family dog. Later in the show, Clay dives into cousin marriage laws (illegal in Mississippi, still legal in Florida), ties it to broader cultural and Sharia law discussions, and reacts to a disturbing FedEx driver abduction case in Texas. Unfiltered, no sugar added, and packed with Clay's signature mix of victory laps, hard truths, and dark humor.    

Street Preachers at the Brandon Amphitheater – Clay Edwards Show Ep 1191Clay Edwards goes off on the group of street preachers he ran into outside the Brandon Amphitheater Friday night as fans poured in for the Warren Zieders concert. He calls them the Mississippi equivalent of the Westboro Baptist Church — self-infatuated grifters waving signs and shouting insults at concertgoers, specifically calling women “skanks,” “whores,” and “Jezebels.”Clay makes a clear distinction: while he supported their protest against Target for selling explicit LGBTQ toys to kids, this is completely different. Harassing families and young women at a family-friendly country music show isn't evangelism — it's provocation. He questions why they pick soft targets like “teeny bop country” crowds instead of taking their message to actual rough spots like nightclubs or strip clubs, and he's disappointed more men haven't stepped up to confront them for disrespecting women. Raw, unfiltered, and straight to the point — classic Clay calling out what he sees as hypocritical attention-seeking disguised as faith.

Andrew Gasser Interview – Clay Edwards Show Ep 1191Clay Edwards is joined in-studio by Andrew Gasser, host of The Andrew Gasser Show, for a no-holds-barred second-hour conversation on President Trump's explosive warning to Iran. The pair breaks down Trump's fiery Truth Social post declaring that “Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day” in Iran, warning that “a whole civilization will die” if the Strait of Hormuz isn't reopened. They debate whether this is classic Trump “Art of the Deal” pressure tactics, psychological warfare, or strategic blunt force — and whether publicly naming targets like power plants and bridges is master-level messaging or giving the regime a heads-up. Drawing on his military background, Andrew praises Trump's decisive leadership and how it removes the “handcuffs” that previously tied the hands of the armed forces. The conversation also covers Iran's crippled military position, the critical importance of Kharg Island as their main oil export terminal, the ongoing propaganda war, and the possibility of regime change. Raw, unfiltered talk on strength, America First foreign policy, and why leading through fear and results matters more than polite optics.

Podcast Description for Episode 1191 of The Clay Edwards Show: Clay kicks off the episode with some real-life chaos at home: the arrival of a new full-time resident, a nine-month-old Yorkie named Zoe. He describes her as a literal real-life Sonic the Hedgehog—constantly rolling, torpedoing into everything, and turning the house upside down alongside his other dogs, Rocket and Libby. Between puppy playtime, late-night show prep struggles, and emergency fence repairs after a backyard escape, Clay reflects on the joys (and sleep deprivation) of new puppy life. From there, he launches into his signature no-filter style, ripping into political correctness and the left's endless hypersensitivity. Clay defends President Trump's blunt “mentally retarded” description of Biden, mocks the manufactured outrage over words, and declares that “this show ain't for the soft.” He also unloads on “culture rot,” using the recent shooting of rapper Offset outside a casino as a textbook example of crabs-in-a-bucket mentality that punishes success instead of celebrating it. The episode builds to a deep discussion on Trump's fiery social media warning to Iran about power plants, bridges, and the Strait of Hormuz. Clay breaks down the “art of the deal” approach, the necessity of ruling through strength, and why some so-called conservatives are clutching their pearls over strong language. Andrew Gasser joins for the second hour to break down military strategy, propaganda, and the bigger picture of America First foreign policy. Raw, unapologetic, and packed with real talk—this is free-range human commentary at its best.

Clay Edwards kicks off the show with Steve Robertson of GenesPage.com and 247Sports for an in-depth discussion on President Trump's executive order aimed at saving college sports. Steve breaks down the current chaos in NIL collectives and pay-for-play, the exploding transfer portal, and why limiting players to one free transfer (with a sit-out for additional moves) could restore balance. They explore how the executive order creates momentum for the bipartisan SCORE Act to establish national guardrails, protect Olympic sports training on college campuses, and bring stability back to a system that has spiraled out of control. Additional topics include NIL fatigue among donors, the shift from genuine name-image-likeness opportunities to unchecked exploitation, the need for multi-year enforceable contracts, and why schools currently have zero protection when players transfer. Steve shares boots-on-the-ground perspective from covering Mississippi State and college athletics nationwide, emphasizing that college sports should remain a privilege — not a chaotic business that alienates fans and harms long-term athlete development. Straight talk on fixing what's broken in college sports before it's too late.

Clay Edwards and Andrew Gasser react to comedian Druski's recent whiteface skits and Jake Paul's bold response — where he announces he's calling makeup artists to do the reverse and push back against one-sided racial comedy rules. They discuss the glaring double standard: why mocking one race is treated as “just comedy” while doing the same in the other direction triggers immediate outrage and cancellation. Clay and Andrew explore how this selective enforcement has created an inflection point — where more people are tired of hypocritical rules that only apply one way. The conversation dives into the broader cultural shift, the broken “racist” card that no longer shuts down debate, and why high-profile figures like Jake Paul are increasingly willing to challenge the narrative and say “if one side can do it, so can the other.” Raw, unfiltered talk on comedy, race, hypocrisy, and pushing back against cancel culture double standards.

Clay Edwards welcomes Todd Sandridge, owner of Superior Foundation Services in Richland, Mississippi, into the studio for a practical, no-nonsense conversation about one of the most common — and costly — problems facing homeowners across Central Mississippi. Todd explains how Mississippi's notorious weathered clay soil shrinks when dry and swells when wet, causing houses to shift, crack, and settle. He walks through the simple 30-45 minute diagnostic process his team uses: taking precise elevation measurements with a zip level to create a baseline and identify exactly what's happening beneath the foundation. Key topics include: - Why water management is almost always the root cause (especially downspouts dumping water too close to the house) - The importance of French drains and getting water away from footings - Why calling early for small issues (like a single corner settling) can prevent major, expensive repairs later - Helical piers for both repair and new construction - Options for lifting slabs, encapsulations under crawl spaces, driveway repairs, and commercial work - The value of working with a locally owned company that stands behind its warranties and doesn't disappear after the job Todd emphasizes honest assessments, avoiding fear tactics, and preferring small, targeted fixes over unnecessary whole-house overhauls. He also shares why local ownership matters — because they live, work, and raise families in the same communities they serve. If you've noticed cracks in your walls, sticking doors, uneven floors, or suspect foundation movement, this segment delivers clear, actionable advice from a Central Mississippi expert who's been in the business for nearly 12 years (with 27 years as a general contractor).

In the second hour of the show, Clay Edwards sits down with Andrew Gasser for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred conversation. They kick things off with the dramatic U.S. military rescue of a downed F-15 airman in Iran, breaking down the high-stakes operation involving SEAL Team 6, a CIA nurse, precision air support, Reaper drones, and the decision to leave no one behind — even at significant cost. Andrew shares insight into how the mission unfolded, the use of overwhelming air assets, and why this operation highlights a key difference between American values and those of other nations. The discussion then shifts to broader cultural issues, including comedian Druski's recent whiteface skits and the glaring double standards in racial comedy. Clay and Andrew explore why one side can mock the other freely while the reverse triggers immediate cancellation, and how society has reached an inflection point where people are growing tired of selective outrage and enforced rules that only apply one way. They also touch on personal topics like health and wellness — the benefits of clean eating, grass-fed meats, lamb preparation (including Andrew's favorite crock-pot shank and smash burgers with feta), dealing with inflammation from sugar and carbs, and the mental discipline required to maintain a healthy lifestyle after big weekend indulgences. Raw, honest, and unfiltered — this segment delivers straight talk on military heroism, cultural hypocrisy, everyday wellness, and pushing back against narrative-driven nonsense.

Join Clay Edwards for a fast-paced, unfiltered Monday edition packed with Mississippi insight and real talk.  First up, Steve Robertson from GenesPage.com and 247Sports dives deep into President Trump's executive order aimed at saving college sports. They break down the chaos in NIL collectives, the exploding transfer portal, the push for a five-year eligibility window with one free transfer, and how this could pave the way for the SCORE Act to bring national guardrails, fairness, and stability back to the game—while protecting Olympic sports, women's programs, and the soul of college athletics that unites communities. Steve shares boots-on-the-ground perspective from covering Mississippi State and beyond, plus why fixing transfers and curbing unchecked pay-for-play is priority one. Next, Todd Sandridge of Superior Foundation Services joins in-studio to talk foundation repair. They cover diagnosing shifting homes on Mississippi's notorious weathered clay soil, the critical role of water management and drainage (including French drains), why calling early prevents major overhauls, helical piers for new construction, and practical advice for homeowners dealing with cracks, uneven floors, or settling issues. Todd emphasizes local ownership, long-term warranties, and honest assessments—no fear tactics, just straightforward solutions for residential and commercial properties. In Hour 2, Andrew Gasser stops by for wide-ranging conversation, touching on everything from the high-stakes rescue of a downed F-15 airman (involving SEAL Team 6 and precision air support) to cultural double standards in comedy, the importance of speaking truth without fear of cancellation, and personal detours into health, clean eating, grass-fed meats, lamb cooking tips, and the mental discipline it takes to feel your best. Plus, Clay unveils the brand-new FAFO 3:16 shirt design (a tribute to Stone Cold Steve Austin with a fresh broken-skull motif), available for preorder at a special price. Raw, reality-based radio that cuts through the noise—college sports reform, home maintenance realities, current events, and everyday Mississippi life.

FAFO Friday: The Dog Rapist Championship On this week's FAFO Friday, Clay crowns a new undisputed champion after a Horn Lake man, Tristan Pipkin, pleaded guilty to unnatural intercourse with the family dog. The case came to light when his girlfriend discovered the video on his phone and immediately reported it to police. Clay doesn't hold back while handing out the belt, calling it one of the most disturbing and embarrassing FAFO moments in show history. Raw, unfiltered, and exactly what FAFO Friday is built for.  

Clay turns the show into a fun Throwback segment by asking listeners: What is your favorite movie from the 1990s? The conversation delivers a rapid-fire list of classics as callers and the live chat weigh in with their picks — including Armageddon, Independence Day, Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Fight Club, Trainspotting, Friday, Jurassic Park, and many more. Clay shares his own top choices and explains why the 90s produced so many iconic films that still hold up today. A light-hearted, nostalgic romp through one of the greatest decades in cinema.

Clay and longtime friend / former co-host Shaun Yurtkuran (former Hinds County Assistant DA and top criminal defense attorney) dive into Mississippi's new 50/50 joint custody law and the push for single-party (no-fault) divorce. Shaun gives his unfiltered take as someone who has worked both sides of the family law bench: whether 50/50 should be the default starting point, how it affects kids and parents, and why forcing one spouse to stay married against their will (when the marriage is clearly over) doesn't make sense. They discuss the financial incentives, fairness to fathers, the impact on children, and why the current system often drags out ugly fights and drains families financially. A thoughtful, no-BS conversation about marriage, divorce, and family law reform in Mississippi.

Episode 1189 – Shaun Yurtkuran Debunks the Brady-Giglio List Clay is joined by longtime friend and former co-host Shaun Yurtkuran — former Hinds County Assistant District Attorney and one of Mississippi's top criminal defense attorneys. Shaun breaks down the so-called “Brady-Giglio List” that some activists have been pushing, explaining what the actual Supreme Court cases (Brady v. Maryland and Giglio) really mean, when material must be turned over, and why the way it's being weaponized locally is largely a myth and a grift. He draws from his years of experience on both sides of the bench to explain why random complaints or “I don't like this cop” claims don't automatically land officers on any legitimate list, and why the entire narrative being sold online doesn't hold up in real courtroom practice. A clear, no-nonsense legal takedown of one of the most overhyped topics in local activist circles

Clay and guest Shaun Yurtkuran (former Hinds County Assistant DA and top criminal defense attorney) break down Mississippi's medical marijuana DUI law. They explain why having a medical marijuana card does not give you a free pass to drive impaired, how the law actually works, and why claims that “you can't get a DUI if you have a card” are flat-out wrong. Shaun lays out the legal reality from both the prosecution and defense side: impairment is impairment — whether it's from alcohol, prescription pills, or THC — and law enforcement is already enforcing it. A clear, no-nonsense explanation of one of the most misunderstood new laws in Mississippi.

Clay opens the show talking about the war on masculinity and plays a clip of a Jackson City Councilman (Kevin Parkinson) “libsplaining” the new rules and restrictions for the Hal's St. Paddy's Day Parade. He calls out the councilman for refusing to acknowledge the real reason for the changes — culture rot and violence — and instead blaming broken glass and grills. The show features a fun Throwback Thursday segment with old newspaper ads from the Mississippi Coliseum in the 1980s, including a wild Mid-South Wrestling card with Junkyard Dog vs. Hacksaw Butch Reed in a “ghetto street fight,” plus the time Bob Barker brought his own version of The Price is Right to Jackson. Clay also discusses low testosterone in men, the cycle of weak men creating hard times, and takes plenty of live calls and texts from listeners. Raw, unfiltered, and all over the map — exactly what you expect from a Clay Edwards morning.

Clay Edwards kicks off the hour with a hilarious April Fools' prank before diving into a lively rant on Southern cooking stereotypes — specifically the viral memes comparing “Thanksgiving at Black family houses vs. White family houses.” Clay pushes back hard on the myth that white people boil their macaroni and cheese (he insists it's always baked in the South) and fires back at claims that white folks don't season their food. He contrasts Southern baked mac & cheese with what he calls twice-fried, twice-smoked, flavor-cooked-out chicken and ribs common in some kitchens. The conversation gets spicy as Clay argues it's not really a Black vs. White issue — it's a **Southern culture** thing versus everyone else. Kingfish joins in the fun, sharing his own takes on local barbecue joints, gas station BBQ versus sit-down restaurants, and why some places overcook or under-season. The duo swaps stories about Sweet Daddy's, Sacred Ground, Full Moon Barbecue, and what makes good ribs versus tough, jaw-workout ribs. This segment is full of laughs, unfiltered Southern food talk, and Clay's signature “if you don't like it, get the f*** from round here” energy as he defends Southern cooking traditions while roasting bad habits on all sides. **Guest:** Kingfish (Jackson Jambalaya) **Focus:** Black vs. White cooking memes, baked mac & cheese debate, seasoning wars, overcooked chicken and ribs, and why it's really Southern culture vs. everyone else. If you enjoy raw, funny Southern commentary on food, culture, and memes — with zero political correctness — this hour is pure entertainment.

Clay Edwards reacts to the recent nationwide “No Kings” protests against President Trump and his policies — including the war in Iran and immigration enforcement. They spotlight a popular meme making the rounds: “Fun fact: Businesses in America have never had to board up their windows because of Republican protesters.” Clay contrasts this with the damage and boarded-up storefronts often seen after left-wing demonstrations, pointing out the irony of anti-monarchy protesters (some waving hammer-and-sickle flags) while highlighting the lack of similar chaos or fear from conservative rallies. The conversation takes a humorous turn as they poke at the contradictions — including liberal “No Kings” messaging clashing with certain cultural claims of royalty — and discuss why one side's protests routinely lead to precautions like plywood while the other's do not. They also touch on the broader pattern of Democrat-led “death culture” in cities versus safer, cleaner Republican areas where businesses don't live in fear of riots. This segment delivers sharp, no-filter commentary on political double standards, protest culture, and why some demonstrations end with businesses boarding up while others do not. **Guest:** Kingfish (Jackson Jambalaya) **Focus:** “No Kings” protests, Republican vs. left-wing protest outcomes, businesses boarding up windows, political hypocrisy, and meme culture. If you enjoy unapologetic takes on current events, media spin, and the real differences in how protests play out across America, this one's for you.

In one of the most entertaining curveballs of the show, Clay Edwards throws a wild question at Kingfish from JacksonJambalaya.com: What does he think about Matt Gaetz claiming he was briefed by a U.S. Army official on secret alien hybrid breeding programs? Clay plays the clip where Gaetz describes being told that captured aliens were breeding with humans to create a hybrid race capable of intergalactic communication. Kingfish delivers his classic no-nonsense reaction — complete with sharp wit and skepticism. The conversation quickly turns into a hilarious and honest back-and-forth about aliens, government whistleblowers, abduction stories, and why credible evidence seems to have dried up in the smartphone era. Clay and Kingfish debate whether there's any truth to the wild claims, share their thoughts on the broader UFO/UAP conversation, and contrast it with classic Coast to Coast AM-style radio lore (including time travelers and Art Bell's legendary interviews). This light-hearted detour provides a perfect break from serious Mississippi politics, showcasing the unfiltered banter and humor that makes the show unique. **Guest:** Kingfish (Jackson Jambalaya) **Focus:** Matt Gaetz alien briefing, human-alien hybrid breeding programs, UFO skepticism, and classic conspiracy radio stories. If you enjoy serious political talk mixed with ridiculous “what if” moments and authentic reactions, don't miss this fun segment.

This morning I woke up with a heavy heart and finally decided I couldn't take it anymore. I'm done defending Donald Trump. Done with MAGA. And to all my police and law enforcement friends — to hell with y'all too. I hopped on Amazon, ordered myself a brand new umpire jersey from Foot Locker, and I'm officially switching sides. I'm joining the whistleblowers. I'm done getting picked on. Tired of everybody else getting all the clout, the girls, the money, and the fame while Clay Edwards is left with nothing but a house, a car, a hot girlfriend, a beautiful family, money in the bank, front-row tickets to everything, and the number one radio show in the state. None of it means anything anymore. I'm donating it all. Surely one of those whistleblower groups has a 501(c)(3) I can cut a big check to. I'm joining the civil rights movement — West Side, South Side, whatever side will have me. We've got a group meeting tonight to figure it all out. If you've been waiting for me to finally come over to the dark side… this is it. This episode starts with me speaking my truth and walking away from everything I used to stand for. You ain't gonna believe what came out of my mouth.

Clay Edwards is joined by Kingfish from JacksonJambalaya.com for a hard-hitting discussion on the ongoing Mississippi ABC liquor distribution crisis and the legislature's failure to fix it. The duo breaks down how the Mississippi Senate killed a House bill (passed 112-2) that would have allowed liquor-permitted businesses — including liquor stores, bars, restaurants, and casinos — to source product directly from manufacturers when the ABC couldn't deliver orders within five days. They examine why the bill died in conference committee, the lack of meaningful alternatives from the Senate, and the real-world pain this is causing small businesses whose money is tied up in prepaid orders while shelves sit empty. Kingfish and Clay discuss the deeper problems at the ABC warehouse, the bureaucracy protecting a broken state-run system, and whether it's finally time to privatize Mississippi's liquor distribution entirely — potentially splitting it into regional operators (North, Central, South) like the beer distribution model to create competition and efficiency. They also touch on related issues, including limits on multiple liquor store permits, the challenges faced by package store owners, market manipulation by some retailers during shortages, and why casinos and restaurants are particularly frustrated with the backlog. This segment delivers unfiltered conservative commentary on government overreach, small business struggles, and why Mississippi lawmakers continue to protect a failing state monopoly instead of delivering common-sense relief. **Guest:** Kingfish (Jackson Jambalaya) **Focus:** Mississippi ABC liquor backlog, Senate inaction, calls for privatization, impact on bars/restaurants/liquor stores, and liquor law reform. If you want straight talk on Mississippi politics, bureaucracy, and how bad policy hurts local businesses, this hour delivers.

In this segment, Clay Edwards sits down with Kingfish of JacksonJambalaya.com to break down the newly passed Jackson Water Authority legislation and what it really means for the city. Kingfish explains the bill's key provisions: how the new authority board is structured, with three seats for the City of Jackson (including a non-voting role for the mayor), three for the governor, one for the lieutenant governor, and seats for nearby cities like Byram and Ridgeland. He details why the legislature removed the Jackson City Council's approval power over certain appointments and lowered the threshold for rate increases and bond issues from a three-fourths to a two-thirds majority. The conversation explores the deep distrust many lawmakers have toward city leadership and voters when it comes to managing critical infrastructure. Topics include the transfer of approximately $120 million in water and sewer debt off the city's books, the requirement for the authority to lease the system from Jackson, and the potential for political pushback from the city council. Kingfish and Clay discuss the broader context — repeated failures with Jackson's water system, past issues with leadership, and why many see this as a necessary step to protect ratepayers and ensure reliable service, even as Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba expressed strong disappointment with the final bill. This is a clear-eyed, no-spin look at one of Jackson's most important infrastructure battles, the politics behind it, and what it could mean for the future of the city's water and sewer system. **Guest:** Kingfish (Jackson Jambalaya) **Focus:** Jackson Water Authority bill, board control, debt transfer, rate hikes, and local political distrust. Perfect for listeners who want straight talk on Jackson politics and infrastructure issues.

**Episode 1187 – Hour 2: Kingfish from Jackson Jambalaya** In Hour 2, Clay Edwards is joined by Kingfish, the founder of JacksonJambalaya.com, for a wide-ranging and no-holds-barred conversation on Mississippi and Jackson issues. The duo dives deep into the Mississippi Senate's controversial decision to kill a House bill that would have provided temporary relief for the ongoing ABC liquor distribution backlog. They discuss the real-world impact on liquor stores, bars, restaurants, and casinos, why the fix failed in conference, and whether it's time to privatize the state's liquor system entirely. Kingfish breaks down the newly passed Jackson water authority legislation, explaining the board structure, how it shifts control and debt away from city leadership, why many lawmakers don't trust Jackson voters with critical infrastructure, and the political fallout from Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba's office. The conversation also touches on local restaurant news, including the closure of Full Moon Barbecue in Madison, the strengths and weaknesses of gas station barbecue versus sit-down spots, and why some barbecue joints struggle in the Jackson area. As always, expect sharp analysis, Southern perspective, and unfiltered commentary on Jackson politics, bureaucracy, and daily life in Central Mississippi. Clay even throws Kingfish a curveball with a wild question about Matt Gaetz's claims regarding alien hybrid breeding programs—eliciting a classic Kingfish reaction.
