I SAW METALLICA IN JACKSON IN 1989 FOR $17.50 (A CONVO ABOUT CONCERT TIX INFLATION)

This segment is more about the inflation of concert tickets than it is a trip down memory lane, we used to could see Metallica for less than current Ticketmaster fee's on any random up & coming country artist playing the Brandon Amphitheater or any other venue nowadays.

THIS PLATFORM ONLY EXIST BECAUSE LOCAL MAINSTREAM MEDIA SUCKS!!

We forced local mainstream media outlets to cover the announcement that 3 Doors Down leads singer Brad Arnold has stage 4 cancer because they were set to completely ignore until we called them out on this show and online. This topic led to me explaining how and why this platform not only exist but thrives because local media refuses to cover stories people actually care about and refuse to cater to the conservative majority in central Mississippi while pandering to the minority and hiring out of state talent that use us as a stepping stone to bigger markets.

FAFO FRIDAY - FULL SHOW (Ep #977)

In this jam-packed episode, Clay kicks things off with a lively recap of his night at the inaugural Mississippi Mud Monsters minor league baseball game in Pearl. From the vibrant turquoise-and-black uniforms to the family-friendly fun, Clay paints a vivid picture of a team bringing excitement back to Central Mississippi’s baseball scene. He shares hilarious anecdotes, like navigating a wardrobe malfunction in the gift shop while snagging a stylish Mud Monsters hat, and reflects on the team’s opening night growing pains with a crowd of over 4,500. Clay’s enthusiasm is infectious as he urges listeners to support the Mud Monsters, emphasizing their role in creating affordable, fun outings before the Mississippi heat sets in.
 
But Clay doesn’t stop at sports. He dives into a thoughtful analysis of why minor league baseball struggles in Central Mississippi, citing the region’s competitive recreational landscape. From travel ball commitments to the allure of college baseball at Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Southern Miss, Clay argues that the demographic most likely to attend games—families and young athletes—is often stretched thin. His solution? Market the Mud Monsters as a family-friendly spectacle where fun, food, and drinks take center stage, with baseball as a delightful bonus. It’s a compelling case for reimagining minor league baseball’s appeal in the South.
The episode takes a sharp turn into Clay’s signature “free-for-all” territory as he tackles a range of topics with his trademark candor. He plugs local businesses like Martin’s Livingston and Acme Pizza & Daiquiris, offering mouthwatering recommendations for Fried Chicken Fridays and specialty pizzas that make for perfect weekend outings. Clay also gives a shout-out to Ric Flair’s upcoming appearance at Southern Sky Brands, humorously noting the catch for fans wanting to meet the wrestling legend. His passion for local culture shines through as he challenges the notion that “there’s nothing to do” in Jackson, pointing to a vibrant scene of concerts, dining, and sports that rivals bigger cities.
 
Never one to shy away from controversy, Clay wades into a “light-hearted” discussion sparked by a Twitter debate about a hypothetical race war in America. While firmly dismissing the idea as absurd and undesirable, he engages with the topic to highlight its futility, pointing out the diversity of perspectives within communities and the unlikelihood of such a conflict. Clay’s commentary is both provocative and reflective, urging accountability and higher standards across cultures while rejecting divisive narratives. He also addresses the Tyre Nichols case in Memphis, critiquing media narratives that frame the verdict through a racial lens, and calls out local news outlets for their selective reporting on issues like Brad Arnold’s cancer diagnosis.
 
Sprinkled throughout are Clay’s personal anecdotes, from his love of live music (reminiscing about $17.50 Metallica tickets in 1989) to his frustration with Ticketmaster fees. He celebrates Rankin County’s transformation into Central Mississippi’s entertainment hub, citing events like Pearl Day and concerts at the Brandon Amphitheater, and contrasts it with Jackson’s fading cultural dominance. The episode wraps with a nod to upcoming guests like Dr. Spencer Mills and a call to action for listeners to engage with the show’s social media.
 
The Clay Edwards Show is a rollercoaster of humor, insight, and unfiltered opinions, offering a unique lens on Jackson’s challenges and triumphs. Whether you’re a local looking for weekend plans or a listener tuning in for Clay’s take-no-prisoners style, this episode delivers. Catch it live on 103.9 WYAB or stream on SaveJXN, and join the conversation by sharing, liking, or dropping a comment. As Clay says, “You don’t get this kind of content anywhere else!”
Note on Positive Solutions: The transcript’s reference to “too many positive solutions” is a sarcastic jab at critics who demand feel-good answers without addressing gritty realities. Clay’s approach—highlighting local events, supporting businesses, and calling for community accountability—offers practical positivity grounded in tough love, not sugarcoated platitudes. The episode balances critique with celebration, proving there’s no shortage of solutions when you’re willing to confront the issues head-on.

AMERICA IS NOT SCARED OF CONFIDENT BLACK MEN, STOP SAYING THAT!!

I've noticed something recently, it seems like every time black America doesn't get the outcome it's looking for when it comes to a black man they use the phrase "America is scared of a confident black man" to express their anger for the situation. I personally have no problem with confident men of any race, it's weak, unconfident scared men that I do in fact fear, see every failed dictator in world history as example A, B, C, D & E!!
