Say It Anyway with Ryan and Jay

Say It Anyway with Ryan and Jay

Join Ryan Manno — a single dog dad and LA radio personality — and Jay — a married mother of two, entrepreneur and queen of sourdough — with a side of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart! Both in their 40s, they bring real-life stories, hilarious sidebars and unapologetic viewpoints to every episode. This isn’t your typical “agree-to-disagree” show; it’s a wild ride through life’s ups, downs and WTF moments. From the male and female perspectives, Ryan and Jay dive into everything from relationships and family to unexpected detours, always circling back to what matters most: making you laugh and leaving you a little bit lighter by the end of each episode. It’s real talk, real humor and real connection — because life’s too short to NOT say it anyway.

Last week, we "gator done" with bizarre Florida Man headlines — cuz nothin' says "come visit" like locals chuckin' crocodiles thru drive-thru windows!

This week, we’re trading palm trees for pencil shavings in a special Back to School episode where Ryan and Jay swap their own childhood stories from the hallways of hell.

Awkward moments. Questionable fashion choices. And lunchroom lunacy that left us wondering if we were ever actually...

This week? We're goin' FULL Florida, man.

Jay’s reporting live from the land of gators, unpredictable weather and stories that start with “Florida Man…” Meanwhile, Ryan’s back in the comfy Burbank studio trying to keep this show on the rails.

We dive headfirst into the most outrageous Florida Man headlines we could find (and yes, they’re somehow all real) ... but we also give Florida its flowers with some actually cool and surprising...

Last week, in episode 9, we shared the sagest advice we’d give our younger selves — turns out, less-old (and current) US could’ve used some serious deeeeep breaths.

This week? We're balancing the scales with a Top 10 double feature: the little things that drive us absolutely nuts (hello, loud chewers and group texts with no exit strategy) ... followed by the things that help us find our calm!

Spoiler: Jay’s involve the beach while Ry...

In episode 8, we had an absolute blast unraveling conspiracy theories and the Mandela Effect! The earth isn't flat, but, for real, we still don’t know if it’s Berenstain or Berenstein!? Yuck.

This week, we’re turnin' the mirror on our younger selves and asking: what advice would we give if we could run it ALL back?

From the tragedy of over-plucked eyebrows to the pressure of having your entire life figured out by 23, we get real abou...

In episode 7, Ryan and Jay took us down memory lane with first concerts, throwback movies and Ryan’s suspiciously intense (adult) obsession with WWE.

This week? They put on their tinfoil hats and go wayyyy off the grid.

Jay brings the conspiracy theories and Ryan, of course, has thoughts. The two take hilarious detours through fake moon landings, Disney on ice (Walt; not the touring show) and advice for foolish Flat Earthers.

Then, it...

Last week, we jumped in the wayback machine to the 90s — waxing poetic on everything from paychecks to pagers!

This week, we're divin' headfirst into the glittery, sweaty world of first concerts, favorite movies and the sports teams we were born to love! From boy band mania to Blockbuster nights (be kind, rewind), it’s a full nostalgia trip… with a twist!

Ryan really gets into his full-grown devotion to WWE (yes, still), and (spoiler...

In episode 5, we (mainly Jay) talked thru a day in our modern, adult lives. But what about the simpler times? When the ice cream man reigned supreme and a dollar from the tooth fairy felt f'n huuuge!

This week, let's take a nostalgic stroll down memory lane — from first jobs that barely covered gas money ... to dial-up internet and actually calling someone’s house to talk!? Even though answering the landline would kick your family o...

In this one, we share a day in the life of US; Ryan's early morning radio routine and Jay's fancy coffee kick before the chaos of motherhood starts at sunrise! Also, one of us self-diagnoses a concerning condition. Can it ...

Last week, we way overshared about our families and some major childhood missteps. Plus, as promised, Jay shared Luca's stellar story of crushin' cancer! We hope you laughed a lot, only cried a little and, ultimately, left lit up! 

In this episode, we spill the stories of our individual journeys to LA; namely, the breakups that fueled our hearts (and gas tanks) ... motivating us to just go west. 

By now, you know the deal: sidebars g...

In episode 2, you got to know a bit about our relationships, dating, marriage and divorce. We went a bit hard, but hope you loved it!

In this episode, we laugh a LOT! Like big belly laughs with tears and all. We get into family and how different our childhoods were. Then, we finally get to hear Luca's story - a heartfelt one of hard times with hopeful endings.

We hope you enjoy this one and find us as funny as we do! (Ryan's really s...

She’s a former stand-up comic turned sourdough mom. He’s a longtime radio host with a soft spot for rescue dogs and questionable choices.

They met during a life-changing interview about her son’s battle with cancer - now they’re sharing everything: the chaos, the laughter, the parenting fails, the single-life stories and the real stuff no one talks about.

Because the best stories are the ones we almost don’t tell ... let's just SAY I...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
