The Clay Edwards Show

Two Ole Miss students found dead. Packaged kratom at both scenes. Parent-group rumors of a new synthetic called Cyclorfin (or cyclorphan) supposedly stronger than fentanyl and coming up from Louisiana. Clay’s been a long-time kratom user and isn’t ready to pin two deaths on it without tox. He wants it regulated and sold like medical marijuana, not banned and left to gas-station chemists.  

Another arrest in the Tasia Fortune case. Jackson police now have 25-year-old Ernest Lloyd Jr. charged with murder and a warrant out for a third suspect. The “roving band of white supremacists” story that some people were banking on is dead. Two Black men are in custody for a hanging death on Road of Remembrance. Clay, Zach, and Creston walk through why the original narrative never added up — the...

**The Clay Edwards Show — Zach Servis & Creston Berch** Another arrest in the Tasia Fortune case. Jackson police now have 25-year-old Ernest Lloyd Jr. charged with murder and a warrant out for a third suspect. The “roving band of white supremacists” story that some people were banking on is dead. Two Black men are in custody for a hanging death on Road of Remembrance. Clay, Zach, and Creston w...

Russell Latino (representing Bart Edmonson Jr. and family) follows. Bart wasn’t even supposed to be out there that day—he did two favors and got labeled a murderer by internet activists, a doctored audio “expert,” and a misidentified high-school photo. Five demand letters already out. More coming. Two credible death threats already produced FBI arrests.

Tyler Cox (counsel for three of the four) joins from the coast. He walks through how his clients cooperated fully—phones handed over to the FBI with passwords, they testified under oath to the grand jury without lawyers in the room, and they asked to be invited. Diverse 22-25 person grand jury, lower probable-cause standard, sequestered, only official evidence. They still found nothing. Lawsuits f...

**The Clay Edwards Show – Nolan Wells Grand Jury No-Bill: The Aftermath, Not the Kid** Creston Berch and I break down last night’s Jackson County grand jury decision: unanimous no true bill. Nolan Wells’ friends will not be charged. Zero probable cause. The viral “three white boys plus one Black boy went to Horn Island and only three came back” story was false from the jump. Tyler Cox (counsel for...

**Five Vowels, Zero Impulse Control, One New FAFO Champ** 18-year-old Octavius Tremont Wilson — five vowels, you cannot make it up — decided Vaught-Hemingway during Ole Miss-LSU was the place to throw hands with stadium security that looked exactly like cops. Video everywhere. Half a million views and climbing. Booked in Lafayette County by 8:30. Thousands allegedly snuck in with no tickets. Someb...

**State Comes From 16 Down and Remembers How to Win on the Road** Mississippi State gave South Carolina a 16-point head start and still won 42-34. Scoreboard lied. It was a three-touchdown game. First road SEC opener win since they beat LSU in an empty stadium in 2020. Back-to-back road wins for the first time since 2014. First time ranked since Mike Leach was still here. They’re sitting at 24. Ca...

Best College Gameday Signs From Ole Miss Vs. LSU 

**Ole Miss Sends Lane Home and the Grove Almost Ate Itself** Ole Miss beat LSU in Oxford. Hate week lived up to the name. GameDay signs were filthy: Release the Kiffin Files, The Lane is a Ho spelled in Coonass, corn dogs everywhere, and the winner — Lane bent over with a corn dog in his mouth that said no hoe goes hungry. One guy Venmo’d $18k just to buy beer and a ticket. LSU dropped something l...

**Pearl PD Puts Another One in the Trees** Zachary Brooks, 29, face-and-neck tattoos, Simon City Royals starter kit, decided I-20 westbound through Pearl was a good place to run dirty. Pearl attempted a stop. He rammed two patrol cars. They PIT’d him into the concrete in Clinton. He swallowed the meth on the way down, hit UMMC, and picked up felony fleeing, aggravated assault on a cop, a Louisiana...

**Pride Orgs Keep Getting Busted and Nobody’s Allowed to Notice** Alabama Pride president Desmond Turner is in cuffs on sexual misconduct and child abuse charges. Again. The thing they swear never happens just happened again. We draw the line everybody pretends doesn’t exist: being gay is not the same thing as running kid-friendly drag shows on museum lawns, putting half-naked adults next to child...

**Mississippi Mayhem 2.0, Five-Vowel FAFO, and Another “It Never Happens” Arrest** State comes from 16 down on the road and finally looks like they belong. Ole Miss sends Lane Kiffin home with a loss in Oxford. An 18-year-old named Octavius Tremont Wilson (five vowels, naturally) decides stadium security at Vaught-Hemingway looks like a good place to throw hands. Thousands allegedly snuck in. Grov...

Football heavy on the topics today, but we also squeezed in some more traditional topics to go along with it.

**Arch Manning’s Meme Apology** Texas knocks off No. 1 Ohio State. Holly Rowe hypes the Buckeyes beforehand. Steve Sarkisian blows her off after the win. The internet does what the internet does: an AI clip of Sark pimp-slapping Rowe. Arch Manning, 20 years old, gets asked about it at his press conference. He laughs. “It’s hilarious.” That was enough. ABC World News Tonight puts a Manning nephew l...

**Lane Kiffin’s Security Detail** LSU is in Oxford. Lane Kiffin is walking back into the Grove as the opposing coach, and Mississippi is treating it like a state visit. Largest Department of Public Safety footprint ever for a college game. Sixty-five to seventy troopers. CTED units. Tactical teams. Air ops. Mobile command. Traffic enforcement already rolling through Sunday. Oxford PD, University P...

**The Great Chicken Heist** Memphis. Jackson’s sister city. Thirteen people caught behind a hotel on Lamar unloading pallets of chicken off an 18-wheeler. Quarter-million dollars of bird. Three guns on the scene. Felons in the mix. They tried to run. Task force bagged the whole crew. Clay and Creston did what this show does: mock it till it cries. That’s a lot of chicken. Wings are already expensi...

**Ross Barnett Reservoir Rename Petition** A Change.org petition wants the Ross Barnett Reservoir stripped of the name and given something more “inclusive.” Thirty-nine verified signatures. Shared more times than people actually signed it. The pitch: history should be remembered, not honored. Ross Barnett blocked James Meredith at Ole Miss in 1962. The reservoir got his name in 1963. Now activists...

**The Clay Edwards Show – Sept. 17, 2026** Sports, culture, and Mississippi reality in the same hour. LSU rolls into Oxford this weekend and suddenly they’re Ole Miss’s biggest rival until Egg Bowl. Lane Kiffin’s swagger vs. Coach Golden, fair-weather fans chasing the winner, and why Amazon data centers and NCAA baseball regionals had more to do with the state flag coming down than any football pl...

**Clay Edwards Show — Sept. 16, 2026**   Sports, FAFO, Fortune, and why “just comply” still isn’t optional. Clay and Creston Berch bounce from content-creation reality to Saturday’s slate, then land on the cases that actually move the needle in Mississippi. Clay’s unsolicited seminar: if you’re getting into this to get rich in 90 days, you’re already cooked. Love the topic enough to do it free for...

the viral Texas-Ohio State crowd shot, H-1Bs, assimilation vs. neighborhood takeover, and why “just enforce the law” still makes half the room clutch pearls.

An old friend texts Clay at 9 p.m.: you’re making money but you sold your soul. You’re a loser. You’re not the same Clay from 15–20 years ago. Clay’s answer: I sure hope I’m not. That Clay was a partyaholic club promoter who woke up broke on his parents’ couch at 34 watching the truck get repoed. Growth isn’t selling out. Talking about the people who actually commit the crime around here isn’t sel...

**Clay Edwards Show — September 15, 2026**   Guests: Creston Berch (in studio) & Zach Servis (Hour 2) An old friend texts Clay at 9 p.m.: you’re making money but you sold your soul. You’re a loser. You’re not the same Clay from 15–20 years ago. Clay’s answer: I sure hope I’m not. That Clay was a partyaholic club promoter who woke up broke on his parents’ couch at 34 watching the truck get repo...

**The Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1294** Clay was one bad night away from missing the show and still showed up. That’s the energy. Mississippi State rolled a Big Ten team on the road and looked like a program that actually wants to go bowling. Ole Miss handled business. Southern Miss did not. Clay vs Grok college football picks stay close: Clay still leads the season 37-11 to 34-14 after another s...

**Clay Edwards Show – Same Energy** Lindsey Clancy almost walked on insanity. The pink shirts came out. The panels came out. Then Oprah put a doctor on and the room full of sad-faced women started cheering. The pitch was not subtle. Have the same passion for women who don’t look like Lindsay. Who don’t have her access, her education, her melanin, her privilege. There are women of color in prison f...
