The Clay Edwards Show

BEST OF THE WEEK VOLUME #2 (May 5th - 9th)

Best of the week volume #1 for the week of May 5th - May 9th

This segment is more about the inflation of concert tickets than it is a trip down memory lane, we used to could see Metallica for less than current Ticketmaster fee's on any random up & coming country artist playing the Brandon Amphitheater or any other venue nowadays.

I went to the opening day of the all new Mississippi Mud Monsters first season ever here in Pearl, Mississippi at Trustmark Park as they replace the Mississippi Braves. Listen to what I have to say about it, if I think it's gonna work and more.

Liberal nutjob Hinds County Judge Wooten who famously & wrongfully locked up top cop Anthony Fox in a shocker has backed 2 Capitol Police officers in their case that being brought forward by state AG Lynn Fitch and throwing the case out over conflict of interest.

We forced local mainstream media outlets to cover the announcement that 3 Doors Down leads singer Brad Arnold has stage 4 cancer because they were set to completely ignore until we called them out on this show and online. This topic led to me explaining how and why this platform not only exist but thrives because local media refuses to cover stories people actually care about and refuse to cater to the conservative majority in central Mississippi while pandering to the minority and hiring out of state talent that use us as a stepping stone to bigger markets.

In this jam-packed episode, Clay kicks things off with a lively recap of his night at the inaugural Mississippi Mud Monsters minor league baseball game in Pearl. From the vibrant turquoise-and-black uniforms to the family-friendly fun, Clay paints a vivid picture of a team bringing excitement back to Central Mississippi's baseball scene. He shares hilarious anecdotes, like navigating a wardrobe malfunction in the gift shop while snagging a stylish Mud Monsters hat, and reflects on the team's opening night growing pains with a crowd of over 4,500. Clay's enthusiasm is infectious as he urges listeners to support the Mud Monsters, emphasizing their role in creating affordable, fun outings before the Mississippi heat sets in.   But Clay doesn't stop at sports. He dives into a thoughtful analysis of why minor league baseball struggles in Central Mississippi, citing the region's competitive recreational landscape. From travel ball commitments to the allure of college baseball at Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Southern Miss, Clay argues that the demographic most likely to attend games—families and young athletes—is often stretched thin. His solution? Market the Mud Monsters as a family-friendly spectacle where fun, food, and drinks take center stage, with baseball as a delightful bonus. It's a compelling case for reimagining minor league baseball's appeal in the South. The episode takes a sharp turn into Clay's signature “free-for-all” territory as he tackles a range of topics with his trademark candor. He plugs local businesses like Martin's Livingston and Acme Pizza & Daiquiris, offering mouthwatering recommendations for Fried Chicken Fridays and specialty pizzas that make for perfect weekend outings. Clay also gives a shout-out to Ric Flair's upcoming appearance at Southern Sky Brands, humorously noting the catch for fans wanting to meet the wrestling legend. His passion for local culture shines through as he challenges the notion that “there's nothing to do” in Jackson, pointing to a vibrant scene of concerts, dining, and sports that rivals bigger cities.   Never one to shy away from controversy, Clay wades into a “light-hearted” discussion sparked by a Twitter debate about a hypothetical race war in America. While firmly dismissing the idea as absurd and undesirable, he engages with the topic to highlight its futility, pointing out the diversity of perspectives within communities and the unlikelihood of such a conflict. Clay's commentary is both provocative and reflective, urging accountability and higher standards across cultures while rejecting divisive narratives. He also addresses the Tyre Nichols case in Memphis, critiquing media narratives that frame the verdict through a racial lens, and calls out local news outlets for their selective reporting on issues like Brad Arnold's cancer diagnosis.   Sprinkled throughout are Clay's personal anecdotes, from his love of live music (reminiscing about $17.50 Metallica tickets in 1989) to his frustration with Ticketmaster fees. He celebrates Rankin County's transformation into Central Mississippi's entertainment hub, citing events like Pearl Day and concerts at the Brandon Amphitheater, and contrasts it with Jackson's fading cultural dominance. The episode wraps with a nod to upcoming guests like Dr. Spencer Mills and a call to action for listeners to engage with the show's social media.   The Clay Edwards Show is a rollercoaster of humor, insight, and unfiltered opinions, offering a unique lens on Jackson's challenges and triumphs. Whether you're a local looking for weekend plans or a listener tuning in for Clay's take-no-prisoners style, this episode delivers. Catch it live on 103.9 WYAB or stream on SaveJXN, and join the conversation by sharing, liking, or dropping a comment. As Clay says, “You don't get this kind of content anywhere else!” Note on Positive Solutions: The transcript's reference to “too many positive solutions” is a sarcastic jab at critics who demand feel-good answers without addressing gritty realities. Clay's approach—highlighting local events, supporting businesses, and calling for community accountability—offers practical positivity grounded in tough love, not sugarcoated platitudes. The episode balances critique with celebration, proving there's no shortage of solutions when you're willing to confront the issues head-on.

The Rankin County Board of Supervisors have been under fire like never before, between the recent debacle over the recent zoning law change an now the Steve Gaines sh!t show from the Republican breakfast this past weekend

1- Brad Arnold, singer of 3 Doors Down announces he has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and will seek immediate treatment tat will force them off the road this summer and they tour with Creed has been canceled. It's his response that made me pull over on the side of the road and compose myself before I could go any further

I've noticed something recently, it seems like every time black America doesn't get the outcome it's looking for when it comes to a black man they use the phrase "America is scared of a confident black man" to express their anger for the situation. I personally have no problem with confident men of any race, it's weak, unconfident scared men that I do in fact fear, see every failed dictator in world history as example A, B, C, D & E!!

The title speaks for itself

Showing y'all a video from 1961 in Mississippi with the for citizens Council president where says some truly racist things about black people, it made me think that 2 things, damn that's racist and 2 there's no way to have ever known he could look into the crystal ball and realize how right he was.

Angela Bucker with MIC Magazine (a black women) calls into the show and calls out black women who've made living on section 8 a career decision instead of a temporary hand-up while they figure out a better life. This was possibly the best call this show has ever gotten

Social media users are praising Cincinnati father (cop killer) Rodney Hinton for m*rdering a random police officer after his son was shot by police in a carjacking incident. 

1- I wonder if this portion of black America has ever asked themselves why so many people have become racist? For the better part of my life I've heard black people say that racism is taught in the home because nobody just wakes up one day and is racist, I believe that events like this will prove that wrong 2- Social media users are praising Cincinnati father (cop killer) Rodney Hinton for m*rdering a random police officer after his son was shot by police in a carjacking incident. 3- Showing y'all a video from 1961 in Mississippi with the for citizens Council president where says some truly racist things about black people, it made me think that 2 things, damn that's racist and 2 there's no way to have ever known he could look into the crystal ball and realize how right he was.

Vicksburg tells Jackson to hold it's beer after Friday nights brawl at Mexican restaurant Margaritas and has a cinco de mayo shooting inside the "Superior Crab" while their police chief is there during their Cinco party. This leads me to discussing an idea about getting local restaurant owners to pool together and set a hood rat trap to keep the trash out of good restaurants by creating a place so good that they won't want to go anywhere else. Hour #2- We play the Matt Walsh reaction video to the Shiloh Hendrix ordeal and how she may have just single handedly canceled cancel culture.

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Two men who were abused by five former Rankin County sheriff's deputies back in early 2023 have settled their civil suit against Rankin County. On April 30, U.S. District Judge Daniel Jordan issued an order dismissing the suit brought by Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker, saying that the two had reached a settlement with Rankin County and the Rankin County Sheriff's Department. Jason Dare, an attorney for the department, provided details about the $2.5 million settlement at a press conference Thursday afternoon. “The county will pay $500,000 for that resolution. The county's insurance will pay its policy limits of $2 million for [the] resolution of that case,” he said. Dare told reporters outside the Rankin County Detention Center that the $500,000 would come out of the sheriff's department's budget. “The citizens of Rankin County are not going to be impacted by the settlement of this case,” he said. In a follow-up interview with WLBT, Dare said services will not be impacted, and that the $500,000 will likely come from different line items in the sheriff's $24.2 million budget. He said the payment will likely be made in the next 14 to 30 days and will be in one lump sum. The Rankin County Board of Supervisors will likely have to approve a resolution authorizing the payment. It was not known when that resolution would be presented. Dare went on to say that the settlement is not an admission of guilt on the county's or the sheriff's department's part. However, he did speak to the impact that the Goon Squad's actions had on the victims, the sheriff's department, and the county itself. “A lot of people were impacted by what happened in Braxton, Mississippi, on January 24, 2023, most notably, Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Parker, and their families, but also the Rankin County community, and the fine, upstanding law enforcement officers who are with the Rankin County Sheriff's Department, who have weathered the storm that has ensued since that day,” he said. “To everybody, we hope this resolution brings some sense of finality... and peace.” Parker and Jenkins filed the suit in June 2023, months after they were abused at the hands of five former Rankin deputies and one former Richland Police officer on the night of January 24, 2023. The two were seeking $400 million in compensatory damages, punitive damages, interest, and other costs. Those former officers have since been sentenced on state and federal charges.

I spent the first hour celebrating Donald Trumps first 100 days in office as well as playing some clips from his most recent ABC News interview where he absolutely scorched the interviewer for being fake news.  

Hour #2 featured an interview with Jim W. Armstrong (AKA Big Jim) as we celebrate his retirement from the state of Mississippi today after 30 years working in government. Big Jim has been involved in politics and all sorts of wild stuff for a long time, we discuss that and a bunch of upcoming charity events that he's involved with.

The entire 2nd hour of the show was a throwback to the very first episode of this show ever, I discussed the "7 things men secretly struggle with" the we all deal with but keep to ourselves. 1- the Dad Wound - aka Daddy issues 2- the lack of manhood vision - it is what you don't understand how to be the leader in the house, a good husband, not your kids friends, mental & physical toughness 3- Unprocessed trauma - passed up for promotion, bottled up a past break up, divorce, failure, etc., leads to thoughts of suicide 4- Addictive habits- porn, food, fitness, work, anything that take you away from your family 5- Not enough close friends (6 to be exact) that your family can call and know they'll be paul bearers at your funeral if you died tomorrow. 6- Do you have a friend you can p/u the phone and just trauma dump with? 7- Stop avoiding confrontations

I got up early this morning and drove the Tesla Cybertruck out to Martins Livingston location and tried one of their southern style fried chicken biscuits for breakfast, I review the chicken biscuit and tell y'all all about the Tesla Cybertruck I got the chance to keep overnight and drive to work this morning to give y'all an honest review.

We gave out a late night FAFO championship to a future rocket scientist, engineer and possibly even a NASA astronaut that doubles as a DOOR DASH delivery driver and steals orders from paralyzed retired Police officers who were shot in the line of duty.

Monday morning on the Clay Edwards Show, we discuss the Shedeur Sanders draft weekend debacle that saw him and his family taught a valuable lesson that nobody is bigger than the NFL. We're also going to discuss the fact that it appears that sports, entertainment & mainstream pop culture are moving past allowing urban black. hip-hop Democrat death culture to rule the day. I believe what happened in the NFL draft over the weekend drives that point home 100%!! Also, we're going to hit the prank phone call that's exposing the hypocrisy of black fragility. The reaction to the prank call is a perfect example of "if you're not built for this then you need to stay on the sidelines".

The story about the terrorist FAFO'ing in Rankin County reminded me of the time that the Westboro Baptist Church came to Brandon back in 2011 to protest a fallen Mississippi Marines funeral and found out the hard way that we do NOT play that shit down here!!    

I discuss last nights NFL draft and the fact the Ole Miss QB Jaxon Dart got drafted by the New York Giants as well as giving the recent draftees some advice about how to protect their money from "Insta-Skanks" that want to become "baby mommas".      

We got a crazy phone call from who I believe was the baby momma of Hector Custode, who's the accused child sex predator from the local car dealership that was exposed last week on the Pred V. Prey Facebook page. Rather the caller was the baby momma or not it motivated me to tell the story about how she has been stalking me and sharing information about Bryce (the content creator who exposed Hector) trying to tarnish him image as if it's somehow going to change what anyone thinks about Hectors image. We try to decide why she feels the need to defend Hector after he was caught on tape admitting to what he admitted to.

Angel "Mic Magazine" Buckner called in to tell a story about a time she personally dealt with racism in real life, and it wasn't in Mississippi. You might be surprised to find out where it was and hear what she has to say about it is as she fought back tears. 

Last night in on Hwy 49 in Richland, Mississippi, Rankin county law enforcement had a shootout and standoff with a terrorist that ended with a LEO Sniper taking the terrorist out. I tell you guys everything I know and issue the terrorist a FAFO championship     

We open the show with Pearl, Mississippi Mayor Jake Windham telling us all about what's going on in Pearl Saturday for the annual Pearl Day festival that concludes Saturday night with a free concert headlined by Poison lead singer Bret Michaels & co-headliner WARRANT!! We also take a dive into the state of the state of Pearl and all of the great work Jake's team has done with revitalizing the Hwy 80 corridor over the last decade or so.

Today was the first show in the post SaveJXN era of the Clay Edwards Show and I have to say that I personally enjoyed the hell out of it and hope you all did too. The fact that the live viewership doubled throughout the show let's me know that people were sharing it because they also enjoyed it so thank you!! 1- We open the show with Pearl, Mississippi Mayor Jake Windham telling us all about what's going on in Pearl Saturday for the annual Pearl Day festival that concludes Saturday night with a free concert headlined by Poison lead singer Bret Michaels & co-headliner WARRANT!!

We've officially closed the "Save JXN" chapter after this morning's Clay Edwards Show. Nearly seven years ago, I embarked on this wild journey by taking photos of the Metro Center during my lunch break, which led to renaming an old nightclub's Facebook page to "Save JXN." It was about saving empty buildings, not saving JXN from Black people, as some quickly claimed. This evolved into the award-winning Save JXN Podcast and, ultimately, the Clay Edwards Show on WYAB 103.9FM in Jackson, MS. The goal was to do everything humanly possible to rid JXN of the "FREE THE LAND" thugs who, through the Lumumbas' grip on low-information voters, have driven us off a cliff over the past 30 years. I've been beyond burnt out fighting people who don't want to be saved, yet I became obsessed with doing MY PART to drag them and the carcass of this once-great city across the finish line to achieve my original goal, which we accomplished last night.   

One of our favorite guest and listeners, Mrs. Angela Buckner with Mic Magazine calls in to give her thoughts on the Lumumba loss

Absolutely flamethrower of a phone call from a young man and lifelong Jackson citizen reacting to soon to be former Mayor Lumumba's massive, lopsided loss to Senator John Horne in last nights Democrat primary runoff election

Russ Latino, editor of Magnolia Tribune calls in to give his thoughts on last nights massive, lopsided loss by Chokwe Antar Lumumba to Senator John Horne in the Democrat Runoff election.

Jackson Mayor Chokwe Lumumba loses in the Democrat primary runoff against Senator John Horne, assuring that Jackson will have a new mayor in July of 2025. Listen to myself and a wide array of listeners and guest react and rejoice to his defeat.

The attack on the white nuclear family

Discussing the Britton Butler conviction and what seems to be like more pedophiles in areas like Madison vs. Jackson, it begs the question if Madison has more pedo's or just more aggressive law enforcement because it's not tolerated like it is in Jackson?
