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.

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...

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...

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...
