Anything But CliShay

Part two of the season finale takes “Do we need therapy?” from curiosity to catharsis. With therapist Ali guiding the room, Shay opens up about how an abusive past shaped her “go along to get along” survival mode—and how sobriety, stability, and a safer love rewired what she believed she deserved. Clifton surprises himself with the real breakthrough: realizing how rar...

The two-part season finale of Anything But CliShay goes somewhere the hosts have never gone before: couples therapy. Clifton and Shay pull back the curtain on what it looks like to be proactive instead of reactive—examining communication styles, past relationship baggage, conflict avoidance, and what “going along to get along” really costs. With humor, honesty, and zero toxic buz...

Clifton and Shay rip open their pandemic trauma with zero chill and a lot of side-eye. From Shay’s panic in lockdown New York and vaccine-for-a-paycheck dilemma to Clifton’s fantasy of getting laid off, surfing to Patagonia, and “thinning the herd” into a new Roaring ’20s, they talk fear, money, politics, Mexico trips, and bed-rotting the way they do everything: loud,...

Clifton and Shay are back—and this week they’re asking the big, uncomfortable question: Why does everyone assume we want kids? From screaming airplane babies to the shocking math that raising a child in Southern California can creep toward a million-dollar investment, the duo takes a brutally honest (and hilariously petty) tour through modern parenthood. Shay breaks down why she’...

In Grave Expectations, Clifton and Shay stop pretending we’re all going to live forever and march straight into the one topic everyone dodges: death. From how many people die every day (spoiler: it’s a lot) to Shay’s fully scripted funeral plans saved in her Notes app—down to the nail color and cremation jewelry—they unpack what it means to plan your exit while still...

What really blows up relationships… and why haven’t Clifton and Shay gone nuclear yet? In “99 Problems and We Ain’t Got None,” your favorite “we’re-fine-I-swear” couple runs down the 12 biggest fight triggers in relationships—friends, money, work, in-laws, sex, kids, all of it—and asks, why aren’t we screaming at each other? They g...

In San Diego, the best “summer” starts after Labor Day. Clifton and Shay break down why locals call it San Diego Summer—that golden stretch from September to Thanksgiving when the crowds thin, the weather stays perfect, and Mission Bay turns into your backyard playground. From Crown Point vibes and surprise bike-parade soundtracks to SeaWorld fireworks, the Thunder Boats, and a n...

Clifton and Shay wrap a whirlwind Euro summer aboard Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady—missing flights, catching feelings, and chasing that legendary hammock from TikTok. From Barcelona to Palma de Mallorca, Cannes, Corsica, and Livorno (hello, Pisa & Florence), they rate the ship, rave about made-to-order eats (The Wake’s “cake-level” French toast), and roast the port...

From Fort Worth to London to Barcelona — and a few napkin mishaps in between — The Expatriate Act is a jet-lagged confession of courage, culture shock, and unfiltered ambition. Clifton and Shay catch up with longtime friend and globe-trotter Todd Cowen, who swapped American comfort for European heat (and tax perks). They dive into the lust and loneliness of life abroad — the thri...

Clifton and Shay kick off “Cruising with CliShay” by reliving the chaos of London Stansted—where the security line crawls, the duty-free maze never ends, and the gate doesn’t drop until it’s a full-on mad dash. A missed flight snowballs into a $250 “gotcha” rebook, a VP9 exit scavenger hunt, and an improvised barrier hop to freedom. Along the way: why Stan...

Season Two kicks off hot—literally—on Shasta Lake, where Clifton and Shay trade polish for pure chaos. It’s 106 degrees, the starter dies, the houseboat crashes sideways, and the couple somehow turns near-disaster into a weekend vibe. Between Shay’s vanishing act off the roof, a blackout nap on the ski boat, and Clifton’s “Cherry Poppin’ Papi” moment...

We didn’t just survive our first season — we stumbled, cursed, overshared about porn, and came out stronger. Our debut episode? We wanted to trash it. Our “sex talk” episode? Let’s just say Shay’s parents should skip that one. But that’s the point — this show was never meant to be polished perfection. Season One was awkward, raw, hilarious, and real....

You’ve heard them riff on sex, God, brunch, and the occasional pickleball injury. But now, Clifton and Shay are putting themselves on the mic—raw, unscripted, and a little emotionally naked. In this no-holds-barred season finale, they dive into the deep end of their “it’s-not-monogamous-but-also-not-chaotic” relationship. From therapy confessions to spontaneous dates...

Clifton, Shay, and guest Daniel Nicholson get real about growing up religious, dodging donation baskets, catching the Holy Ghost (or not), and figuring out what we actually believe in.

Swipe right for friendship? Yup, it actually worked. In this episode, Shay spills the tea on how she met her ride-or-die Katy on Bumble BFF—and Clifton tries to keep up with the drama, the hot yoga, and the Real Housewives takes  We’re talking messy adult friendships, political fallouts, why guys struggle to open up, and the real difference between drinking buddies and soul sister...

“If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to a library.” – Frank Zappa.  In this episode, Clifton and Shay get real about higher education—what they learned, what they didn’t, and whether it was all actually worth it.

Clifton and Shay are back, and things get wild fast in this unfiltered episode all about sex, fantasy, and the stuff most people are too shy to say out loud.
