The Clay Edwards Show

I make the argument for why not sharing a bed with your spouse or significant other could lead to a happier relationship or marriage.

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards kicks things off with a lively discussion on whether couples need to share a bed for a happy marriage. Drawing from personal anecdotes and listener feedback, Clay explores the importance of quality sleep versus physical closeness, sharing stories of long-married couples who thrive in separate beds due to snoring, heat, or restlessness. He emphasizes prioritizing rest to be a better partner during waking hours. Shifting gears, Clay tackles the alarming spike in assaults by Black individuals on white people across the U.S., including Mississippi. He breaks down a chaotic incident in Copiah County where volunteer firefighters were attacked by a crowd of up to 100 during a drag racing crash response, leaving several hospitalized. Clay condemns the lack of arrests and questions the mob's logic in delaying aid out of frustration over response times. Nationally, he covers the brutal beating of "Big Balls," a former DOGE staffer, who intervened in a carjacking in Washington, D.C., only to be assaulted by a group of teens. Clay highlights media bias, noting reversed roles would spark outrage, and praises Donald Trump's call to federalize D.C. for crime control, including prosecuting minors as adults. He ties in a Cincinnati attack on an elderly white man and woman, criticizing officials for downplaying potential hate crime motives and blaming alcohol. In a satirical segment, Clay "bans" anyone who's ever used the N-word from the show to underscore hypocrisy in outrage over language versus violence, urging equal accountability across communities. Finally, Clay addresses Mississippi's STD epidemic, ranking high nationally for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia—especially in Hinds County, the U.S.'s worst. He attributes it to cultural issues like lack of discipline rather than education gaps, calling for self-reflection and safer practices. Packed with raw opinions, listener texts, and calls for accountability, this episode challenges norms on relationships, crime, and health. Don't miss the heated takes! (1872 characters)

ME EXPLAINING WHY I LOVE CRYOTHERAPY & RED LIGHT THERAPY 

CHUCK E CHEESE GETS ARRESTED IN FULL COSTUME

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Carly Gregg’s attorney filed a motion for additional time, citing “certain facts and circumstances concerning Appellant’s lead trial counsel.”

In the motion, filed on July 30 and approved on July 31, Attorney James Murphy, on behalf of Gregg, requested an additional 30 days to prepare the Appellant Brief. Murphy states, in the motion, that due to the “substantial size and complexity of this matter,” he was unable to finalize the brief by the previous deadline.

Murphy went on to include, in the motion, that certain things have come to light regarding Gregg’s lead trial counsel, saying this new information “may bear relevance to the issues raised in this direct appeal.” Gregg’s lead trial counsel was Bridget Todd. According to the motion, the new information came to light “within the past thirty (30) days” of filing the motion.

On July 4, Jackson Jambalaya released the 37-page motion for divorce issued against Todd on the grounds of “habitual cruel and inhuman treatment.” In the motion, the Court found that Todd falsely accused her ex-husband of a crime, then used the crime as a basis to get emergency custody of her ex-husband’s children. Todd also used her position as an attorney to “intimidate and manipulate” her ex with “legal threats.” In addition to multiple other findings.

3OYS reached out to Murphy, asking if the information he addressed in the motion was in response to Todd’s divorce decree and the Court’s findings.

Murphy stated, “Our request for additional time is directly related to the newly discovered information about Carly’s lead trial counsel that raises profound concerns about the integrity of her original defense. Some of these issues involve serious allegations of dishonesty and misconduct by counsel in other legal matters, including sworn proceedings. While we are still in the process of fully investigating how this may have impacted Carly’s case, the severity of what we’ve learned demands a thorough and unhurried review. Carley deserves to have her conviction scrutinized under the highest standard of fairness, especially in light of these alarming revelations about her former counsel’s conduct.”

The request for more time will also enable Murphy to address other issues raised in the motion.

In September of 2024, Gregg was found guilty of murdering her mother, Ashley Smiley, attempted murder of her stepfather, and tampering with evidence. She is currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. An appeal has been filed with the Mississippi Supreme Court

The new deadline for the Appellant’s Brief is August 19, 2025.

THE TRUTH BEHIND WHY I'M AGAINST SCHOOL CHOICE

MY RESPONSE TO THE BACKLASH OF MY BRYAN BAILEY SPEECH & PICTURE

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives into a mix of local discoveries, health insights, and fiery opinions on community issues. Kicking things off, Clay shares his excitement about finding Saladays lettuce at Martin's Market in Flora, praising its freshness and convenience alongside other local favorites like in-house pork skins, Irish butter, and homemade dressings. He recounts a recent visit and ties it into broader tips for sourcing quality food locally to avoid grocery store impulse buys.

The conversation shifts to healthy living, inspired by Clay's grandmother—a 93-year-old gardener who embodies lifelong wellness through homegrown produce and unprocessed foods. Clay reflects on her Depression-era wisdom, emphasizing the importance of knowing your food sources, avoiding pesticides, and supporting farmers' markets like Cockrell's and Doris Berry's Produce. He stresses personal discipline in diet, linking sugar addiction to health issues like ADD and autism, and shares stories of people curing ailments through carnivore diets. Clay opens up about his own fitness journey, aiming to balance muscle gain with weight loss while reminding listeners that health choices are ultimately self-controlled—no excuses.

On Trash Talk Tuesday, Clay unpacks his staunch opposition to school choice, particularly the public-to-public transfer aspect, arguing it could introduce cultural challenges to tri-county schools without rewarding those who contributed to urban decline. He addresses listener feedback, defending his views against accusations of hypocrisy and highlighting financial motivations behind some proponents.

Clay revisits the assault on first responders in Copiah County, expressing sympathy for the grieving father but insisting on accountability to set precedents against violence toward emergency workers. He updates on meetings with the sheriff and stands firm on felony charges.

Recapping his speech at the Rankin County Republican Breakfast, Clay explains the invitation's backstory amid local controversies, his compartmentalization of respect for the sheriff's position despite past criticisms, and the backlash from a photo op—framing it as part of the attention economy while prioritizing community involvement.

For lighter fare, Clay covers wild news: a Chuck E. Cheese performer arrested mid-birthday party in Tallahassee for credit card fraud, complete with handcuffed mascot photos. He also breaks down a gang-style shootout in Jackson leading to five arrests, noting ironic trends in names and demographics, and reports on an alleged walkout by a Canton police shift.

In legal updates, Clay discusses a new motion in the Carlee Gregg case, where her attorney cites misconduct by former lead counsel Bridgette Todd, including false accusations and manipulative tactics revealed in a divorce filing—potentially impacting the appeal.

Wrapping up, Clay touches on renewed drama over the Brandon statue, with NAACP involvement stirring accusations of racism at a city hall meeting, urging historical preservation to avoid repeating past mistakes.

Packed with raw takes, local flavor, and no-holds-barred commentary, this episode challenges listeners to think critically about health, education, and community accountability.

Some woman who clearly only heard what she wanted to decides to call in and make herself look like an idiot over school choice debate.

I was invited to speak at the Rankin County Republican breakfast this past Saturday morning by Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey, I used the opportunity to speak to the crowd about the dangers of school choice and it being the trojan horse to sneak in Jackson's cultural rot. The backlash hasn't been shocking at all, here's an hour of me making my case, it includes some woman trying to tell me I'm wrong and even calling me a racist.
