He shares his personal experiences, such as losing his YouTube channel, and how he turned those situations into opportunities for new beginnings.

In episode #1,050 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards delivers an unfiltered, no-holds-barred discussion on what he calls "trans terrorism," sparked by a recent school shooting in Minnesota where a transgender individual killed two children and wounded others at a Catholic school. Strap in for a raw dose of reality radio as Clay breaks rules when necessary, challenging censorship and speaking hard truths about transgenderism, politics, and societal issues. Clay opens with a warning: this isn't a light-hearted episode. He addresses the sensitive nature of the content, advising listeners with kids to tune out if they haven't discussed transgender topics yet. Fresh and fired up, Clay declares transgenderism isn't a mental illness—it's pure evil, engineered by Democrats and progressives, unleashed like a lab-created virus on America and the world. He argues we've been forced to affirm delusions, calling out the charade of gender swaps and refusing to play along. Pulling no punches, Clay lists recent violent acts involving transgender or gender-fluid individuals: the Minnesota church school shooting, Nashville school shooter, Colorado Springs non-binary shooter, Denver and Iowa school shooters, Aberdeen shooter, Colorado Tesla arsonist, Republican Party firebombing, and an AMC stabber. He sees a pattern—an epidemic of trans-involved terror—and slams calls for gun control, especially from figures like Trey Gowdy, who Clay mocks for blaming "young white males" without acknowledging the transgender element in many cases. Clay dives into cultural critiques, calling out Black Democrats for supporting a party he says funds evil while claiming Christianity. He differentiates "normal gay people" from the LGBTQ agenda, insisting trans ideology is evil incarnate, grooming vulnerable people—especially autistic youth—via the internet. Using AI queries, he highlights research showing transgender individuals are 3-6 times more likely to have autism traits and face suicide rates 7 times higher than cisgender adults (80% have considered it, 40% attempted). He labels "gender-affirming care" as mutilation, akin to genocide targeting the spectrum. The episode unpacks political angles: the shooter's manifesto mentioning "Kill Trump," ties to Obama-era policies, and criticism of Minnesota's mayor for defending the trans community post-shooting while ignoring victims. Clay plays clips, including Tim Walz's gaffe about being "friends with school shooters" and Trey Gowdy's gun control remarks. He warns trans people hate conservatives and Christians, urging caution around them and questioning why Catholic schools hire trans staff—likening it to letting a fox in the henhouse. Listener calls add fire: one praises quick service from a sponsor but pivots to blaming parents for pushing trans trends on kids (citing celebrity examples like Magic Johnson's and Dwyane Wade's children); another shares a story of a school's open house decked in BLM and rainbow flags, suggesting it sowed seeds for tragedy. Clay corrects misconceptions—like defining trans as men pretending to be women (and vice versa)—and addresses violence against trans people, arguing most cases involve sex workers tricking clients, not broad transphobia. He teases potential retribution from fed-up patriots but clarifies he's not calling for it, emphasizing America's crossroads: good vs. evil, no gray areas. Fired up and unapologetic, Clay vows to shake off "weak men and cuck punks" for better times, blending humor, rage, and common sense. This episode fights for America's soul, spotlighting corruption in Jackson, Mississippi, and beyond. If you're ready for uncensored talk on cancel culture, culture rot, and breaking tyrannical rules, this is your show. Award-winning podcaster Clay Edwards keeps it real—boom shaka laka boom!

RJ Bell and Mackenzie Rivers talk Preseason to NFL Week 1 best bets. The latest Dream Podcast episode, “PreSeasonPalooza, 15 Bets!!,” is a classic mix of sharp betting systems, insider debates, and off-the-rails humor, the kind of show that feels like sitting in a sportsbook bar where the conversation drifts from ATS systems to Larry Bird versus Magic Johnson. RJ Bell opens by reminding listeners about the special Pregame discounts and touting the records of handicappers like AJ Hoffman, Goodfella, and others, before pivoting into the heart of the show: an unusually strong batch of preseason Week 3 betting angles. McKenzie Rivers kicks things off with a light story about the Taste of Chicago festival, which leads RJ into a tangent about Stevie Wonder's 2008 performance and the eternal debate over Chicago deep dish pizza, the type of side story that illustrates how much the Dream Pod thrives on detail and memory. From there, the real substance begins. RJ emphasizes that this preseason slate may be the best group of plays he has seen, with twelve recommendations and five best bets, while McKenzie contributes three researched totals for Week 1, giving listeners over fifteen actionable wagers. McKenzie's primary research zeroes in on the effect of quarterbacks who do not play a single snap in the preseason. Since the NFL moved to a three-game preseason in 2021, those teams have gone 27–12 to the under in Week 1, with an average ATS margin of –2.6 points. Their team totals also fall short, averaging –3.2 compared to expectations. RJ pushes back, calling the no-snap approach “idiotic,” arguing that football players improve by playing football, but McKenzie notes the trend has only grown stronger. They cite teams like the Cowboys, Eagles, Buccaneers, Falcons, Rams, Bills, and Ravens as Week 1 under candidates, especially in games like Cowboys vs Eagles, Buccaneers vs Falcons, and Ravens vs Bills. In classic forum fashion, the pod spins into a debate about Peyton Manning versus Tom Brady, with McKenzie insisting the numbers favor Manning's brilliance and RJ countering that Brady's postseason success and rings will age better historically. From there they wander into Bird vs Magic, Bill Walton's brief dominance, and Gilbert Arenas' scoring outbursts, demonstrating how sports arguments naturally expand. Eventually RJ reins it back in with his own powerful Week 3 preseason system: play favorites who lost both straight up and against the spread in Week 2. Since 2021 these teams are 14–5–1 ATS, but the real gold is in the first quarter, where they are effectively undefeated with massive scoring margins. At home the trend is even stronger, with a 10–1 ATS record and a combined +180 point margin. RJ breaks down which teams qualify this year, including Kansas City, Detroit, the Jets, and Dallas at home, plus Bills, Steelers, Raiders, and Chargers on the road. He highlights home teams in the first quarter as the true best bet subset, noting an 11–0 record with an average +9 point differential. The conversation shifts to how small sample size intersects with logical consistency, with RJ stressing that this system passes the test because it makes sense up and down the spectrum. McKenzie adds that home momentum explains why the advantage continues beyond the opening quarter. As always, the pod mixes sharp betting insight with humor, from round robin discussions to jokes about Britney Spears movies on Easter. The episode closes with RJ previewing Pregame's content schedule: the annual Quarterback Draft, the Season Win Totals Over/Under show, and weekly Dream Previews through the Super Bowl. The takeaway for bettors is clear: Week 1 unders for teams with zero preseason QB snaps, and Week 3 first quarter plays for favorites off a loss, especially at home, form the strongest edges going into the season.

Mann crafted this over the better part of two decades in the business, which included a lackluster TV movie that was basically a dry run for what would later become "Heat." A movie that, 30 years later, features what is still considered the best shootout scene captured on celluloid. Crafted with top to bottom incredible performances, it's also crammed with innumerable cool scenes, and unforgettable lines. You're gonna love this episode cause it's got a GREAT A**!
