**Podcast Description (Ep #1322):**
Clay is joined by criminal defense attorney (and former Hinds County ADA) Shaun Yurtkuran for a wide-ranging hour-plus covering culture, music, and Mississippi politics.
They kick things off with Jay-Z headlining the Super Bowl halftime show and the broader decline of hip-hop booking dominance—contrasted with rock’s resurgence, the last true classic-rock headliner (The Who in 2010), and the case for finally getting Metallica, Garth Brooks, or George Strait on America’s biggest stage. Clay also remembers Scott Weiland on the anniversary of his death and pushes back on the “rock is dead” narrative with big festival proof points.
From there it moves into the Cindy Hyde-Smith vs. Scott Colom Senate race, Trump’s stop in Corinth, the AI-video dust-up involving Mike Hurst and the Mississippi GOP, and why both sides are dumping serious money into a state that usually isn’t a national battleground. Shaun weighs in on campaign tactics, weak candidates, and the petty online/sticker warfare surrounding the Hinds County DA race (including the “bag man” accusations aimed at him).
Also covered: the still-mask-required lesbian bar in Massachusetts that imploded over one mask-optional Saturday, the short-lived White House press-secretary drama and the “what do you call someone with a law degree who never passed the bar?” question, and the WNBA’s latest self-own (championship elimination game tip-off at lunchtime on a Thursday because the bigger arena was already booked).
Straight talk, local perspective, and zero filter.
