The Clay Edwards Show

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.

Clay and Andrew Gasser break down the news that Kamala Harris is seriously considering a 2028 presidential run.

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.

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.

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.
