Ep 2470FAFO CHAMPIONSHIP WINNERS & HOW I REALLY FEEL ABOUT BLACK & WHITE TRASH

In the final segment of The Clay Edwards Show on June 11, 2025, I handed out a “FAFO” (f*** around and find out) championship to Ontario McDougals (20) and Efralian Johnson (19), two Jackson, Mississippi, men arrested for pointing a gun at JPD officers. I mocked their names, counting vowels—Ontario with four, Efralian with three plus a Z and Y, which I jokingly said counted as extra—to highlight what I see as cultural stereotypes. I detailed their charges, including terroristic threats, stolen vehicles, and drug offenses, and took credit for their arrests, claiming my platform helped expose them. I called their actions part of a “culture rot,” blaming a lack of male role models and respect for authority, and sarcastically labeled them “future rocket scientists.” I got raw about my feelings, saying I despise “ghetto Black trash” and “white trash” equally, along with any group’s equivalent. I clarified I’m not racist, praising Black conservatives like Topher, Kim Wade, and Antoine Daniels for calling out toxic behavior. I vented about Black folks from privileged backgrounds, like Jasmine Crockett, who I said fake a “ghetto” persona to seem “down,” calling it a weird guilt trip. I argued stereotypes are earned, not given, and expressed frustration with those who embrace “ratchet” or “thug” identities then cry about being profiled. I wrapped up emphasizing my respect for those who rise above this “culture rot,” regardless of race, and urged listeners to reject such behavior.

Ep 2471BREAKING - TRUMP WINS TRADE / TARIFF WAR AGAINST CHI-NA

During the June 11, 2025, episode of The Clay Edwards Show, I celebrated what I presented as a major victory for President Donald Trump in the trade war with China. I shared a statement from Trump, which I said he posted on Truth Social and was quickly shared on X, announcing that a trade deal with China was finalized, pending approval from him and President Xi Jinping. I described the deal as including China supplying the U.S. with magnets and rare earth minerals upfront, with the U.S. imposing 55% tariffs on Chinese goods while China would apply 10% tariffs on American products. I emphasized that the deal allowed Chinese students to continue using U.S. colleges and universities, which I noted particularly frustrated liberals who’ve pushed against this. I gloated over the outcome, mocking critics who claimed tariffs wouldn’t work, and called it a huge win for America, saying even “rotten-ass Democrats” would benefit. I framed Trump as having earned my trust to execute his strategy, highlighting the deal as proof of his deal making prowess, and declared, “We are the champions of the world,” including China in that victory. I also read comments from listeners via the Guns & Gear text line and displayed online chats to gauge reactions, reinforcing my excitement with phrases like “so much winning.”

Ep 2469INFAMOUS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT FINALLY CAUGHT & DEPORTED

In a humorous segment on the June 11, 2025, episode of The Clay Edwards Show, I shared a fictional breaking news story about the cartoon character Speedy Gonzales, a Mexican mouse, being arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). I described how Speedy was apprehended early that morning outside a cheese factory in El Paso, where he was working after his temporary visa expired, allegedly to support a "cheese habit." I recounted how he tried to evade ICE’s new “Mouse Unit,” which uses trained cats, by running fast and yelling in broken English, but was quickly caught. I played a clip of a staged interaction where American TV personality Dr. Phil questioned Speedy at the scene, with Speedy claiming to be a “citizen of Earth” and denying false charges of “sex crimes with children,” joking that he thought the cheese was “aged.” I noted that Speedy’s cousin, Slowpoke Rodriguez, was also arrested, and both were held in ICE custody pending deportation. I revealed that the anonymous tip leading to Speedy’s capture came from Sylvester the Cat, his longtime nemesis, adding that Sylvester got the “last laugh.” I used the story to inject levity, commenting that even famous cartoon characters aren’t above deportation laws.

Ep 2468THE POOR & FATHERLESS ARE BURNING DOWN THEIR OWN CITIES, AND I LOVE IT!!

During the June 11, 2025, episode of The Clay Edwards Show, I expressed frustration about ongoing riots in blue cities, which I compared to the 2020 protests. I described a cycle of destruction where I believe white liberals and outside agitators incite chaos, leading to Black communities looting and burning their own neighborhoods. I argued this behavior, which I tied to a lack of positive male role models and respect for authority, drives businesses away, creating “food deserts” when residents later complain about the lack of stores. I emphasized that America is exhausted with this repetitive cycle, saying, “We’re tired of it. We’re fatigued. Tired, boss. Tired.” I voiced a controversial desire for a strong military response, using the term “FAFO” (f*** around and find out) to suggest consequences for rioters, and admitted I’m not angry but almost glad to see the chaos, as it might force accountability. I clarified my issue is with the behavior, not race, but focused on what I called “culture rot” perpetuated by fatherless environments and poor choices.

Ep 2467TRUMP CALLS LOS ANGELES RIOTERS GAY

In a segment of The Clay Edwards Show on June 11, 2025, I played a clip I introduced as a statement from President Donald Trump, speaking from the Oval Office. In the clip, Trump addressed ongoing riots, declaring with enthusiasm that anyone protesting or interfering with ICE operations is “officially gay big time.” He suggested rioters call their dads to confess their “alternative lifestyle as a gay communist” and mocked them, saying they might “eat a lollipop” or “decorate a bathroom” in their free time. The tone was sarcastic and provocative, using “gay” as a slur to demean the rioters. I framed the clip as a serious moment, noting its Oval Office origin, and enthusiastically supported it, saying it’s what I voted for. I also reiterated my intent to bring back terms like “gay” and “retard” on the show, clarifying they’re not aimed at LGBTQ or disabled individuals but at foolish behavior, though I acknowledged this might offend some listeners.

Ep 2466WEDNESDAY - FULL SHOW (Ep #998)

On June 11, 2025, at 10:00 AM CDT, I hosted episode 998 of The Clay Edwards Show live on WYAB 103.9 FM, streaming worldwide on Facebook, X, YouTube, and Rumble from the Men's Health & Women's Wellness Studios in Mississippi. I’ve been calling my show “the most incendiary in America,” and today felt like it lived up to that. With my 1,000th episode set for this Friday, I was fired up, ready to dive into everything from riots to trade deals to local crime, all while connecting with my audience. I kicked things off with my usual energy, welcoming listeners to call the Mazda of Jackson phone line at 601-879-0002 or text the Guns & Gear Text line at 769-241-1944 if they’re the shy type. I made it clear I wasn’t opening online comments just yet. Yesterday, I met two listeners—Barbershop Bob and a guy I think was named Mark—at Men’s Health of Mississippi. It means a lot to me when I get to meet folks who support the show. I always say I’m just an extension of my audience, someone who kept pushing until I found this platform, and I never forget that. I reflected on a livestream I did yesterday with Dr. Michael Walker at Men’s Health of Mississippi. It was an uninterrupted hour-plus deep dive into men’s health—testosterone, compounded semaglutide (like generic Ozempic), and peptides. It had a real Joe Rogan vibe, and I urged everyone to check it out on my podcast, Facebook, YouTube, Rumble, or X, where I’ve been posting clips. I admitted I’d been under the weather yesterday but pushed through because that’s what grown-ups do. I talked about how honoring commitments, even when you feel lousy, builds mental toughness. I compared it to my cryotherapy sessions—three minutes in a -200°F chamber is brutal, but stepping out feels like a win. It’s like starting your day with something tough, like a workout, which eventually becomes something you love. Then I shifted to current events, venting my frustration about riots in blue cities, which feel like a repeat of 2020. I called out what I see as a cycle of destruction driven by white liberals and outside agitators, with Black communities often looting in response. I didn’t hold back, saying I’m rooting for a strong military response—what I call “FAFO” (f*** around and find out). I shared a video on X of Chicago rioters twerking on police cars, arguing this behavior drives businesses away and shows a lack of respect for authority or self. I’m tired of it, and I think America is too. To lighten the mood, I shared a fake breaking news bit about Speedy Gonzales getting arrested by ICE, with Sylvester the Cat as the snitch. It was silly, but we all need a laugh sometimes. I also mentioned a hilarious X video I watched on loop—a guy at a cat’s birthday party that had me in tears laughing. Back to serious stuff, I celebrated President Trump’s announcement that a trade deal with China is done, pending final approval. China will supply magnets and rare earth minerals, with 55% tariffs on their goods and 10% from them on ours. I gloated a bit, noting how critics said tariffs wouldn’t work, but Trump proved them wrong. I trust him to get it right, and this felt like a huge win. Locally, I talked about two Jackson kids, Ontario McDougals (20) and Efralian Johnson (19), arrested for pointing a gun at JPD officers. I poked fun at their names, counting vowels to make a point about cultural stereotypes, and listed their charges—terroristic threats, stolen vehicles, drugs, and more. I took some credit for their arrests, saying my platform helped shine a light on it, and called their actions part of a “culture rot” tied to absent male role models and no respect for authority. I engaged with listeners’ texts and comments, promising to put online chats back on-screen after Barbershop Bob suggested it yesterday. I shouted out Black conservatives like Topher, Kim Wade, and Antoine Daniels, who call out cultural issues without fear. I clarified that when I use terms like “retard” or “gay,” I’m not targeting disabled or LGBTQ folks—just calling out dumb behavior. I know that ruffles feathers, but it’s how I see it. As the show wrapped, I got real about being an open book. I apologized to my older listeners for any crude remarks, like my semaglutide side-effect jokes, but stood by my honesty. I encouraged anyone wanting to start a podcast to reach out—I love helping folks find their voice, just like others helped me. I started Save Jackson anonymously, thinking it’d hit harder if people assumed I was Black, but I hit a ceiling and went public. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. I teased the 1,000th episode as a big deal and signed off, urging listeners to reject stereotypes—earned, not given—and take responsibility. Whether you agree with me or not, I appreciate you tuning in, unless you’re out there twerking on countertops or living up to some trashy stereotype. Tomorrow, I’ll be back from 7:00 to 9:00 AM, ready to keep it real.

They discuss how these drugs not only aid in shedding pounds but also help curb alcohol cravings and improve mental relationships with food by targeting the brain’s dopamine reward center.

The conversation also explores the critical role of testosterone therapy, particularly for men experiencing low levels due to age, lifestyle, or medical conditions. Dr. Walker emphasizes the importance of identifying the root cause of low testosterone through comprehensive blood work, highlighting conditions like sleep apnea, obesity, or past use of anabolic substances that can contribute. He addresses common concerns about testosterone therapy for older men, debunking myths and explaining its safety and benefits when medically supervised. The discussion extends to younger men with low testosterone, with Dr. Walker advocating for a thorough evaluation to determine whether lifestyle changes or medical intervention is the best course.

Dr. Walker cautions against the use of unregulated peptides like melanotan and SARMs, sharing a sobering story of a patient who suffered severe complications from an unsafe source. He stresses the importance of sticking to FDA-approved treatments from reputable sources, such as brand-name medications or trusted compounding pharmacies, to ensure safety and efficacy. Beyond men’s health, Dr. Walker introduces the services offered at Women’s Wellness of Mississippi, located upstairs in the same facility.

Ep 2464Clay & Chip Unleashed: From LA Streets to MS Politics and Beyond (Ep #997)

The Clay Edwards Show Live at Men's Health & Women's Wellness Studios Tune in for a lively and unfiltered episode of The Clay Edwards Show, broadcast live from the Men's Health & Women's Wellness Studios in Madison, Mississippi. Hosted by Clay Edwards, with special guest Chip Matthews, this episode of "your daily dose of reality radio" dives into a mix of current events, local politics, and candid conversations, delivering the no-sugar-added talk that listeners expect. Recorded on June 10, 2025, the show covers everything from the Los Angeles riots to Mississippi’s political landscape, with plenty of humor and local flavor sprinkled throughout. The episode kicks off with Clay and Chip discussing the ongoing unrest in Los Angeles, drawing parallels to the 1992 LA riots. They highlight the deployment of 700 Marines and 4,000 National Guardsmen to address the riots, comparing the aggressive tactics of Marines to the National Guard’s approach in ‘92. The conversation takes a sharp turn as they critique California’s political climate, with Clay suggesting the state’s GDP claims could be tested by “chopping it off” the U.S. They also touch on a viral story of a leftist running an LA police scanner account who doxxed ICE agents, only to face backlash when doxxed himself, leading him to delete his X account after threatening deadly force—a classic case of “finding out” after “fooling around.” Locally, the duo tackles Jackson, Mississippi’s challenges, from systemic issues like unlit interstate stretches (notably I-20’s “death curve”) to copper theft by “crackheads” impacting infrastructure. They lament the city’s loss of institutional knowledge due to retiring public works staff and question a $1.3 million Jackson State study on traffic lights, wondering if it’s about flow or “systemic racism.” Clay shares a personal anecdote about driving through Jackson’s dark, dangerous roads, emphasizing the need for basic fixes over symbolic studies. The show shifts to Mississippi politics, sparked by Agriculture Commissioner Andy Gibson’s cryptic X post hinting at a gubernatorial run with “proven conservative leadership” signs for the Neshoba County Fair. Clay and Chip speculate on whether Gibson, a popular figure likened to iconic Ag Commissioners like Jim Buck Ross, is too conservative for Mississippi’s “purple” electorate. They debate other potential 2027 gubernatorial candidates, including Shad White, Delbert Hosemann, Lynn Fitch, and billionaire Duff, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses. Listeners chime in via the Guns ‘N’ Gear Text Line and live chat, with opinions ranging from support for White’s integrity to skepticism about Gibson’s “Little House on the Prairie” image. The discussion highlights Mississippi’s purple political reality, where gun and abortion laws lean red, but broader policies reflect moderation. Clay and Chip also dive into cultural topics, lamenting the decline of “breastaurants” like Hooters and Twin Peaks in Jackson, attributing it to crime, non-tipping customers, and “woke” mismanagement. They share a humorous story about a pregnant Hooters waitress in Jackson, Tennessee, and explore the rise of OnlyFans, with Chip recounting a job applicant earning $1,000 weekly as a foot model. The conversation veers into a lighthearted discussion about fetishes, with both hosts admitting to “normal” preferences and judging niche ones with a wink. The episode wraps up with a nod to Men’s Health & Women’s Wellness of Mississippi, where Clay will broadcast live from noon to 2:00 PM at 120 Fountains Boulevard, Madison. He praises the clinic’s unintimidating, male-friendly environment, offering services like testosterone screenings, semaglutide for weight loss, and discreet prescriptions for erectile dysfunction.

Ep 2460BEST OF THE WEEK (JUNE 2ND - 6TH)

Description of "The Clay Edwards Show: Best of June 6, 2025" In this engaging episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards delivers a compelling mix of community advocacy, local news, political analysis, and heartfelt storytelling from Jackson, Mississippi. The show kicks off with an urgent plea for blood donations for Grayson Foster, a Mississippi College track star who lost a leg in a motorcycle accident. Edwards shares donation details, including the Mississippi Blood Services code EQ32, stressing that all blood types are needed to support Foster’s recovery. Edwards introduces his “FAFO (F’d Around and Found Out) Championship,” spotlighting Rodriquez Tyrell Pinson’s arrest in Canton, Mississippi, after fleeing Gluckstadt police in a stolen Ford F350. With humor, Edwards notes Pinson’s vowel-heavy name and the chase’s setting near the Econo Lodge, detailing charges like felony eluding and receiving stolen property. Politically, Edwards expresses disappointment in Pelahatchie’s Rashonda, a former official who labeled the town racist after losing an election. He challenges her claims, arguing that political disagreements, not race, fueled the backlash, and shares his own experiences of being heckled while campaigning. The episode celebrates the “Philadelphia Miracle,” where white conservative Republicans won four out of five municipal races in the majority-Black city of Philadelphia, Mississippi. Guest Shewaski Young, Neshoba County Republican Party secretary, attributes the upset to grassroots efforts—door-knocking, radio ads, and community outreach—offering a potential model for flipping rural Democratic areas. Edwards analyzes Jackson’s political landscape, predicting that demographic shifts will make it nearly impossible for white candidates to win mayoral or council seats, citing the defeat of former mayor Chokwe Lumumba as a turning point. He urges habitual candidates to redirect their efforts and praises the election of John Horne, hoping he’ll stabilize Jackson by working with the legislature and attracting business. In a touching segment, Edwards shares a story about his girlfriend’s son and friends rescuing a newborn kitten, which was handed over to “Miss Julie,” a local woman dedicated to animal rescue. Edwards praises her kindness, humorously apologizing to “conservative cat ladies” for past jests and reflecting on the goodness in communities. The show concludes with a powerful D-Day tribute, emphasizing unity under the American flag, and a fiery discussion on the Elon Musk-Donald Trump feud, with Edwards dismissing conspiracy theories and calling for the release of Epstein documents. Broadcast from the Men’s Health & Women’s Wellness Studios, this episode blends hard-hitting commentary with community spirit, airing on 103.9 FM WYAB and streaming on SaveJXN platforms.

Discussing Jackson’s elections, Edwards notes John Horne’s victory over Chokwe Antar Lumumba, expressing hope that Horne’s leadership will stabilize the city by simply avoiding past mistakes.

In a lively June 3, 2025, interview on The Clay Edwards Show, Zach Servis, an independent candidate for Jackson, Mississippi’s mayor, pitched his transformative vision on election day. Speaking with raw conviction, Servis urged voters to back him for a fundamental overhaul of the city’s mismanaged, corrupt administration.

Servis touted his track record of exposing issues, like revealing a hidden deputy public works director, proving his impact without mayoral power. He promised accountability, readiness to act on day one, and a no-nonsense approach to governance, vowing to reassign or oust underperforming officials. Addressing prison labor, Servis revealed he’d already proposed a community service ordinance to pay off misdemeanors, which Mayor Lumumba delayed but later adopted. His candid, unfiltered style and commitment to transparency earned host Clay Edwards’ respect, who predicted Servis could siphon votes from frontrunner John Horhn, potentially swinging the race. Servis’ bold, anti-establishment rhetoric and focus on systemic change resonated as a call to disrupt Jackson’s stagnant politics.

Ep 2439PHILIP GUNN’S BILL READING BATTLE: OUTSMARTING DEMOCRATIC DELAYS

On The Clay Edwards Show, I sat down with former Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn, who shared a sharp anecdote about outmaneuvering Democratic tactics in the legislature. Philip explained how Democrats, frustrated during a recent special session ending May 29, 2025, invoked an 1894 constitutional rule to force word-for-word bill readings—essentially a filibuster to stall proceedings until 2 a.m. This was a protest, likely over budget priorities, as Democrats felt sidelined by Republican spending choices. Philip recounted how, during his tenure as Speaker from 2012 to 2024, Democrats often used this tactic to slow things down when they were in the minority. To counter it, he cranked up the speed on a computer program used to read bills, dubbed the “demon chipmunk” by critics, making the readings comically fast and incomprehensible. This sparked a 2016 lawsuit from Rep. Jay Hughes, D-Oxford, claiming it violated the Constitution’s spirit, but the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in Philip’s favor in 2017, citing legislative autonomy. He noted a 2013-2014 instance where a two-and-a-half-hour reading of a charter school bill backfired on Democrats, giving him time to rally absent Republicans for a winning vote. Broadcasting from Flora, I laughed with Philip over his clever workaround, highlighting his savvy leadership in navigating Mississippi’s political trenches.
