FLAMETHROWER OF A SHOW (Ep #1,084)

Join Clay Edwards on this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, broadcasting live from the Men's Health and Women's Wellness Studios on 103.9 WYAB in Flora, Mississippi. As the station gears up for a massive upgrade to 50,000 watts, Clay discusses the excitement of reaching new areas like Itta Bena, Southaven, Oxford, Starkville, and Copiah County, aiming to dominate central Mississippi's talk radio scene.

 

Clay gives shoutouts to influential figures who've shaped his career: Scotty Ray of the Scotty Ray Report for his news coverage and online advice, Kim Wade for radio and success tips, and Michael Wimberly for business insights. He also reflects on learning from others' mistakes and the value of OG guidance for young creators.

 

Dressed in a FAFO hoodie (soon to be restocked), Clay shares his laid-back Mississippi style and looks forward to his first Good Ol' Boys party—a big political hoedown in Oxford with heavy hitters like Lynn Fitch. Despite recent criticisms, he's eager to mingle and make waves.

 

Responding to a listener's Facebook query, Clay dives into the shocking mid-season departure of coach Lance Pogue from Brandon High School football. Sources suggest a toxic environment, culture clashes, and player unrest led to the split, despite high hopes for a state championship. Clay praises the Bulldogs' dedicated fan base and alumni, emphasizing that while players earn wins, the community's commitment deserves a title—it's just a matter of time.

 

After a quick break, Clay unleashes a fiery critique of Attorney General Lynn Fitch's office for pursuing charges against former Capitol Police officers Frederickson and Reinholt in the Jalen Lewis shooting. Citing evidence from their own expert witness, Clay argues the force was justified, not excessive, and slams the "witch hunt." He also calls out WLBT's CJ Lemasters for refusing to accept the officers' innocence, labeling it conservative-on-conservative drama.
