The Clay Edwards Show

(Episode #1185 – Hour 1):FAFO Friday meets St. Patrick’s Day Parade weekend on The Clay Edwards Show! Clay is joined by special guest Chip Matthews — former owner of legendary Club Fire and now running Beethoven’s on the Reservoir — for a lively hour of Jackson talk.  They recap the parade’s wild history (from its ragtag 1983 start as Mal’s to today’s Hal’s edition), swap hilarious memories from past parades and epic Club Fire nights with acts like Vanilla Ice and Tommy Tutone, and break down the new rules aimed at keeping things safer this year. Clay also plugs his FAFO shirt sale (use code BLACKOUT for free shipping), reflects on Mississippi culture and “lived experience,” and shouts out local after-parties at Cameron’s Garage, Martin’s, and more. 

**Episode 1184 – The Clay Edwards Show**

This morning we’re going straight in on a controversial new bill in Mississippi that would make **50/50 joint custody the default** in divorces.

Clay breaks down why this could be a game-changer for fathers and kids, how it might actually reduce the number of divorces, and why some critics are already claiming it “disproportionately hurts women.” He doesn’t hold back on the double standards, the child support system, and the hard truth that real equality means equal responsibility on both sides.

He also shares his own personal experience with 50/50 custody, reads raw listener comments, and takes a tough call from a parent currently fighting a brutal custody battle involving mental illness.

Plus:  

Unfiltered, unapologetic, and straight from the gut — this is reality radio.

Podcast Segment Description: In this unexpected third-hour takeover on The Clay Edwards Show, Clay Edwards and Andrew Gasser jump back on the air for an unscripted, wide-ranging conversation that picks up right where the morning left off. The duo dives deep into cultural decay — from the skyrocketing acceptance of divorce and single-parent homes to the erosion of the nuclear family under progressivism and feminism. Andrew reflects on fatherhood, responsibility, and how far society has slid backward since the 1950s, while teasing upcoming segments on “Black Spring Break” chaos in Daytona and Houston. Clay doubles down on his earlier Brady List exposé, calling the whole thing a straight-up grift pushed by the ACLU and Southern Poverty Law Center. He officially launches his own “Losers List” (aka the FAFO List) — a public roster of people who’ve lied on and made false reports against good law enforcement officers. The conversation then shifts to the Iran conflict, with Andrew delivering a no-nonsense veteran’s breakdown: America is winning tactically, the real enemy is the mainstream media spreading defeatist propaganda, and the threat of enriched uranium falling into the wrong hands is very real. They also react to Joe Kent’s sudden reversal on Israel and Iran, with some pointed (and hilarious) speculation about what changed his mind. Raw, honest, off-the-cuff banter between two friends who don’t mind disagreeing — this emergency fill-in hour is classic Clay & Andrew.

In this fiery opening segment of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay claps back hard at his critics and the latest desperate attack on him — when a crew of three-time accused domestic abusers tracked down his ex-wife, dusted her off, and got her sober and out of jail long enough to do a hit-piece interview full of lies.

Clay doesn’t flinch. He calls it exactly what it is: proof of how big the show has gotten that people are now willing to go that low to try and take him down. Then he flips the script and goes full investigative mode, exposing the so-called “Brady List” (Giglio/Brady list) that’s being hyped by grifters across Mississippi.

He breaks it down: regular citizens can’t just “add cops to the Brady list” and magically make them unable to testify. That’s a scam. Only a judge who catches a cop lying on the stand in their courtroom can put someone on the real list. Everything else is just a $100-a-head grift.

So Clay announces he’s starting his own list — the “FAFO List” (or Losers/Liars List, still deciding the name) — for people who have lied on good, God-fearing law enforcement officers and made false reports against them. He even jokes about charging $100 to get added, since everyone else is running the same hustle. First name already in mind: a Rankin County man convicted twice for lying on parole officers.

Raw, unfiltered, zero apologies, and dripping with Mississippi sarcasm — this is Clay Edwards calling out the hypocrisy, the grift, and the personal attacks all in one shot. FAFO indeed.

In this unforgettable story on The Clay Edwards Show, Clay recounts the legendary day the Westboro Baptist Church rolled into Brandon, Mississippi — and quickly learned what happens when you bring your hate to the South Side of the Kingdom.

Back in 2011, the notorious group announced they were coming to protest the funeral of fallen U.S. Marine Jason Rogers, a hometown hero killed in Afghanistan. What they didn’t count on was a town full of proud Mississippians who weren’t about to let that stand.

Clay details how locals spotted the church vans at a Brandon gas station, how a few good ol’ boys delivered a swift “ass whoopin’” right there in the parking lot, and how the group was later blocked in at their hotel while authorities “checked for warrants.” The result? A homemade Mississippi blueprint for shutting down Westboro protests that spread nationwide — and the church never showed up at another Mississippi funeral again.

Clay also paints the emotional picture of the funeral procession: tens of thousands of people lining Highway 80 from the airport all the way through town, Brandon Fire Department trucks dropping a massive American flag over the intersection, and an outpouring of respect that still chokes him up to this day.

Raw, unfiltered, and full of Mississippi pride — this is the true story of how one small Southern town told the Westboro Baptist Church exactly where they could stick their protest. FAFO at its finest.

The discussion quickly turns to the more confrontational style of local Mississippi street preachers like Brother Gabe, who stands outside country concerts at the Brandon Amphitheater calling women “hoes” and “Jezebels” as they walk in. Clay, as a father of a daughter, draws a hard line: he supports free speech but says there’s a time, place, and better way to reach people — and that publicly shaming innocent girls heading to a concert crosses into bad taste and invites consequences.

Andrew pushes back with his own experiences as a believer and father, defending bold street preaching as a necessary spiritual stretch that sometimes makes people uncomfortable. The two go deep on faith, fatherhood, modesty, cultural decay, and how to actually expand the Kingdom instead of shrinking it.

Listener calls flood in, including a passionate “South Side of the Kingdom” caller who says name-calling is corrupt communication and that the Bible demands better. The conversation ends with the legendary Brandon, Mississippi blueprint for dealing with the Westboro Baptist Church when they tried to protest a Marine’s funeral — a story that still gives chills

In this no-holds-barred segment of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay rips into the latest round of Democrat “fear porn” after Ku Klux Klan artifacts — white robes, gold seal charters, and handwritten meeting minutes from the violent 1960s White Knights of the KKK — were discovered in an old suitcase during a move at the Mississippi Department of Public Safety.

With his trademark bluntness, Clay refuses to let history be memory-holed. He argues that preserving the ugly past isn’t racism — erasing it is how you guarantee we repeat it. White Democrats, he says, should never be allowed to forget the terror and hell they rained down on Mississippi through the Civil Rights era and long before. No gaslighting, no rewriting, no separating the Klan from the party that created and protected it.

In this no-holds-barred episode of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay opens with some straight talk: the mission to “save Jackson” is officially off the table. The city is too deep in culture rot to be rescued — and he doesn’t hold back on the reasons why. He praises streamer Asmongold for proving you don’t need to be polished or politically correct to build a massive audience — just tell the truth and watch people show up. Clay also addresses the recent wave of personal attacks, including critics dredging up his ex-wife, then flips the script by exposing the Brady/Giglio list as nothing more than a grift. In response, he launches his own “FAFO List” for people who make false reports against good law enforcement officers.

Clay reacts to the discovery of Ku Klux Klan artifacts at the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, refusing to let history be erased and calling out the political hypocrisy that surrounds it. He also spotlights an upcoming fundraiser at Cypress Point Resort benefiting U.S. Marine veteran Madison DeLoach and two-year-old Salem Bennett, who is facing multiple surgeries for arthrogryposis.
