Episode #1,109 of The Clay Edwards Show (Thanksgiving Eve 2025)

Episode #1,109 of The Clay Edwards Show (Thanksgiving Eve 2025)    Clay kicks off the Thanksgiving Eve show in high spirits, watching the sunrise from the studio and proudly declaring he’s taking a well-earned four-day weekend with zero apologies. After grinding for years in the car business where the only guaranteed days off were Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter Sunday, he’s finally in the “back half of the rat race” and plans to hit the reset button while still creating content from home.   The tone quickly turns fiery as Clay announces he’s likely pressing charges today against a woman named Natalie (the “lawyer’s daughter”) who allegedly posted death threats and appeared to solicit someone to kill him. He revels in the “FAFO” (F*** Around and Find Out) scoreboard: every person who has come after him hard over the past five years has ended up in jail, dead, or both. He calls it a sport at this point—collecting screenshots of vile threats and pairing them with mugshots—and notes that court clerks now know him by name.   A new daily segment awards the “Insufferable Turd of the Day.” Today’s winner is Houston-based attorney/comedian Elizabeth Booker Houston, who bragged on a podcast that she deliberately overcharges white clients and does pro bono work for black clients and nonprofits, proudly declaring “a white person just cut me a check” to fund her passion projects. Clay points out the blatant racism (and illegality) and gleefully notes she’s married to a white man.   Clay plays and wholeheartedly endorses a viral clip of Tucker Carlson on the Shawn Ryan Show asserting that America’s leaders have engaged in an organized campaign of hatred against white men—labeling “toxic masculinity” and “white racism” as the twin evils, drugging boys with fake ADHD diagnoses, and pushing an anti-white-male narrative. Clay declares, “All we did was build this damn country… how about a little thank you?”   The second hour turns reflective and heartfelt. Listeners flood the text line with what they’re thankful for this Thanksgiving:

 

-Growing up in 1970s–90s South Jackson

-Gen X childhoods before everyone became offended by everything

-Children who pulled parents out of dark places

-Spouses who stood by through the worst times

-Military family members home for the holiday

-And many simply thankful for family, health, and still having parents alive

 

Clay opens up about losing his best friend Corey earlier this year, the sting of no longer having that 5 a.m. ride-to-work phone call, attending his aunt’s funeral, and how death sharpens gratitude for the people still here. He admits his biggest life regret is pushing good women away in his younger “conquest” days and warns young men never to take a good woman for granted.   He pushes back hard on “red-pill/manosphere” dogma that dating single mothers makes a man a cuck, calling it one of the best things a man can do—watering another man’s garden and being a positive influence. He declares, “If a man is willing to adopt your child, that man loves you—marry him yesterday.”   Other rapid-fire topics:

-Clay has never killed a deer and wants to change that this season

-He’s diving back into his bourbon collection over the long weekend

-He’s anti-turkey (“there are two things I’m not putting in my mouth tomorrow—one goes without saying, the other is turkey”)

-He awards an epic FAFO championship to D’Allen Tyreke Washington (one of the Kingston Frazier kidnappers/murderers) who, after being paroled early, immediately sold meth in Rankin County and just got sentenced to 20 years day-for-day

 

The show closes with Clay sincerely thanking listeners for letting him do what he loves for a living, promising he’ll probably pop up live from home on Friday, and wishing everyone—haters included—a happy and safe Thanksgiving.
