Clay & Chip Unleashed: From LA Streets to MS Politics and Beyond (Ep #997)

The Clay Edwards Show Live at Men's Health & Women's Wellness Studios

Tune in for a lively and unfiltered episode of The Clay Edwards Show, broadcast live from the Men's Health & Women's Wellness Studios in Madison, Mississippi. Hosted by Clay Edwards, with special guest Chip Matthews, this episode of "your daily dose of reality radio" dives into a mix of current events, local politics, and candid conversations, delivering the no-sugar-added talk that listeners expect. Recorded on June 10, 2025, the show covers everything from the Los Angeles riots to Mississippi’s political landscape, with plenty of humor and local flavor sprinkled throughout.

 

The episode kicks off with Clay and Chip discussing the ongoing unrest in Los Angeles, drawing parallels to the 1992 LA riots. They highlight the deployment of 700 Marines and 4,000 National Guardsmen to address the riots, comparing the aggressive tactics of Marines to the National Guard’s approach in ‘92. The conversation takes a sharp turn as they critique California’s political climate, with Clay suggesting the state’s GDP claims could be tested by “chopping it off” the U.S. They also touch on a viral story of a leftist running an LA police scanner account who doxxed ICE agents, only to face backlash when doxxed himself, leading him to delete his X account after threatening deadly force—a classic case of “finding out” after “fooling around.”

 

Locally, the duo tackles Jackson, Mississippi’s challenges, from systemic issues like unlit interstate stretches (notably I-20’s “death curve”) to copper theft by “crackheads” impacting infrastructure. They lament the city’s loss of institutional knowledge due to retiring public works staff and question a $1.3 million Jackson State study on traffic lights, wondering if it’s about flow or “systemic racism.” Clay shares a personal anecdote about driving through Jackson’s dark, dangerous roads, emphasizing the need for basic fixes over symbolic studies.

 

The show shifts to Mississippi politics, sparked by Agriculture Commissioner Andy Gibson’s cryptic X post hinting at a gubernatorial run with “proven conservative leadership” signs for the Neshoba County Fair. Clay and Chip speculate on whether Gibson, a popular figure likened to iconic Ag Commissioners like Jim Buck Ross, is too conservative for Mississippi’s “purple” electorate. They debate other potential 2027 gubernatorial candidates, including Shad White, Delbert Hosemann, Lynn Fitch, and billionaire Duff, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses. Listeners chime in via the Guns ‘N’ Gear Text Line and live chat, with opinions ranging from support for White’s integrity to skepticism about Gibson’s “Little House on the Prairie” image. The discussion highlights Mississippi’s purple political reality, where gun and abortion laws lean red, but broader policies reflect moderation.

Clay and Chip also dive into cultural topics, lamenting the decline of “breastaurants” like Hooters and Twin Peaks in Jackson, attributing it to crime, non-tipping customers, and “woke” mismanagement. They share a humorous story about a pregnant Hooters waitress in Jackson, Tennessee, and explore the rise of OnlyFans, with Chip recounting a job applicant earning $1,000 weekly as a foot model. The conversation veers into a lighthearted discussion about fetishes, with both hosts admitting to “normal” preferences and judging niche ones with a wink.

 

The episode wraps up with a nod to Men’s Health & Women’s Wellness of Mississippi, where Clay will broadcast live from noon to 2:00 PM at 120 Fountains Boulevard, Madison.
