The Clay Edwards Show episodes

March 13 FAFO FRIDAY - FULL SHOW (Ep #1,175)
In this high-energy episode, Clay Edwards sits down with undefeated fighter Luke Greenlee just 24 hours before his massive super heavyweight championship bout at the Brandon Civic Center.

Luke opens up about the unique pressure of fight day—how he stays calm, keeps his mind occupied, and avoids the adrenaline dump that wrecks so many first-timers. He breaks down what it’s like stepping into the cage against a towering, 6'8"+, 360+ lb champion named Dylan Crawford, the adjustments he’s made in training, and why this one feels different from every previous fight.

The conversation gets real: Luke reflects on his football roots, the mental toughness required for one-night tournaments, walkout music (including an AI-generated surprise from his opponent), and the other big fights on the card featuring friends Haley, Katie, and Bubba. He also shares why this could potentially be his last fight—and why he’s determined to leave as champion in front of his hometown crowd.

Whether you’re a combat sports fan or just love raw, unfiltered conversation about mindset, sacrifice, and stepping into the fire, this episode delivers. Tune in for fighter insight, behind-the-scenes stories, and pure Mississippi grit.

March 12 THE MOST INCENDIARY SHOW EVER (Ep #1,174_
Clay steps away from politics to break down the exciting shake-up happening in combat sports. He's fired up about the long-overdue dream matchup between Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano finally landing on Netflix—both looking phenomenal and ready to throw down a decade too late. He dives into how Netflix teaming up with MVP Promotions is democratizing MMA and boxing, bankrolling massive spectacle fights, creating new stars, and delivering the mega-matchups fans actually want to see without the old pay-per-view grind.

Clay contrasts this with the UFC's current setup (guaranteed money means fewer “dream” cards), breaks down the stacked undercard featuring Francis Ngannou, and looks ahead at what the next few years could bring as big names like Conor McGregor and Jon Jones near the end of their deals. He also covers the Tyson vs. Jake Paul record viewership, the upcoming Mayweather-Pacquiao rematch nobody asked for, the influx of big money from overseas, and the wild rivalry brewing between promotions inside and outside the Octagon. It's a passionate, no-holds-barred take on why he's been glued to fight podcasts more than politics lately and how streaming could finally break the UFC's stranglehold.

On the local side, Clay reacts to Pearl PD's bold bust of three women caught with thousands in stolen Ulta Beauty merchandise—complete with the haul displayed like a trophy—and crowns them the latest “FAFO” champions. He also weighs in on former Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba's fresh motion to dismiss his federal bribery charges and reflects on the lasting impact of his time in office.

Unfiltered fight talk, Mississippi headlines, and Clay's signature straight-shooting style—this one's for every combat sports fan and anyone who loves keeping it real.

March 11 BREAKING - Chokwe Lumumba Files Motion To Dismiss Federal Bribery Case + When Will Trial Begin?
🚨 Breaking update in the Jackson bribery case: Former Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba has filed a motion to dismiss the federal charges against him!
In this video, I break down the latest from WLBT (March 11, 2026) – Lumumba is joining and concurring with Hinds County DA Jody Owens' earlier motion, arguing outrageous government conduct and entrapment by the feds. These charges stem from an alleged scheme tied to a downtown convention center hotel project, with Lumumba facing five counts including bribery, fraud, and money laundering over supposed $50K in campaign donations.
The filings are under seal, so details are limited, but this is a major development as the July trial approaches. Is this a real shot at getting the case thrown out, or just more delays in a messy federal probe that's shaken up Jackson politics?
As someone who's been calling out corruption and fighting for transparency in our city for years, I think this raises even more questions about how the investigation was handled. Watch to hear my take on what this means for Jackson moving forward.

March 10 Mississippi Politics Unfiltered: Election Day Deep Dive with Andrew Gasser
Mississippi Politics Unfiltered: Election Day Deep Dive with Andrew Gasser & Clay Edwards and special guest Andrew Gasser break down Mississippi primary election day in real time — from the surprisingly competitive District 2 races (both sides of the aisle) to why beating incumbents in this state feels damn near impossible (96% reelection rate and counting).They go hard on the congressional sexual harassment settlement slush fund now headed to the House Ethics Committee (with Michael Guest in the hot seat as chairman), the tone-deaf U.S. Senate “pet parade” that took priority over voting on the Save Act, and the explosive lobbyist scandal in Ocean Springs where politically connected insiders signed secret contracts for $6 kickbacks on every traffic ticket from the Securix camera system — all tied back to heavyweight consultant Josh Gregory and Frontier Strategies. Raw, no-BS talk on the real mechanics of Mississippi politics, insider grift, and why the game feels rigged against regular people. This is exactly why you listen.

March 10 Mississippi Lobbyist Secretly Making $6 On Every Red Light Camera Ticket Sent
Mississippi Lobbyist Drama Exposed: Secret Kickbacks on Traffic Ticket Revenue In this no-holds-barred segment, Clay Edwards and Andrew Gasser rip the lid off a shady Mississippi lobbyist scheme that’s got people furious. Two politically wired insiders — attorney Tammra Casico and consultant Ted Thompson — signed secret contracts promising them a $6 cut of every traffic ticket generated by the controversial Securix camera system (the red-light cams catching uninsured drivers).The dirty part? The contracts explicitly told them to hide their personal financial stake from the very cities they were “advising.” What started in Ocean Springs was spreading statewide, with the deals disguised as straight legal advice while the lobbyists quietly cashed in. It gets even thicker: the whole operation ties straight back to heavyweight consultant Josh Gregory and Frontier Strategies — the same firm that runs campaigns for half the big names in Mississippi politics. They were reportedly pulling $36 out of every $300 fine collected. Clay and Andrew call it exactly what it is: legal or not, it feels slimy as hell — multilayered kickbacks, zero transparency, and everyday drivers footing the bill for backroom profits. This is the kind of insider grift that makes people hate politics, and they don’t hold back breaking it all down.

March 10 Rebuilding Credit from Rock Bottom & Election Day Deep Dive with Andrew Gasser (Ep #1,172)
In hour one, Clay gets real about his own financial comeback story — going from rock bottom after divorce, bankruptcy, a repo, and credit scores in the 500s all the way up to a rock-solid 705. He breaks down exactly how he did it with practical, no-fluff steps: secured loans and credit cards, paying down debt strategically, keeping utilization low, and the patience and discipline it actually takes. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the credit trap, this is the roadmap that proves anyone can climb out.

Hour two features special guest Andrew Gasser for a hard-hitting look at Mississippi primary election day. The guys break down the key races (especially District 2), why beating incumbents is so damn hard, the congressional sexual harassment settlement slush fund now headed to the Ethics Committee, the ridiculous Senate pet parade that took priority over the Save Act, and explosive details on lobbyists cutting secret deals for kickbacks on traffic-camera ticket revenue in Ocean Springs and beyond.

March 09 The 18-Year-Old Who Killed His Parents to Assassinate Trump & Then Flee To Ukraine
Clay and Andrew break down a horrifying case out of Waukesha, Wisconsin: 18-year-old Nikita Kasip murdered his mother and stepfather, lived with their decomposing bodies for two weeks, then stole cash, jewelry, passports, and his stepdad’s gun to fund a deranged plot.

His plan? Buy a drone and explosives to assassinate President Trump by dropping a bomb from the air, then escape by cargo ship to Ukraine where he planned to hide for a decade.

The teen later told investigators he believed he was “part of a revolution” and “part of a war.” After pleading guilty to two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, he was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole.

Clay and Andrew discuss the deeper issue: how constant media demonization, online radicalization, and political hatred are pushing troubled young people toward unthinkable violence. A disturbing example of what happens when a generation is convinced Trump is literal evil that must be stopped at any cost.

Unfiltered conversation on radicalization, media responsibility, and cultural breakdown.
