Anyone curious about how a breakout podcast is built will love this episode. Clif and Shay walk Lina and JC through the early days of Anything But CliShay, from the awkward rehearsed beginnings to the moment they realized that vulnerability and chaos were actually their superpowers. Their first season quickly climbed to the top of the OLAS Media Network, and hearing how they got there is equal parts inspiring and hilarious.

The episode also pulls back the curtain in a very personal way. Clif and Shay open up about their one-of-a-kind relationship, the honesty that holds it together, and the family reactions that followed once certain episodes dropped. There is even a quiet reveal about a commitment ring that stops the room for a second. It is real, raw, and exactly why people have become hooked on their story.

And then comes the moment no one expected. In true CliShay fashion, they flip the script on Lina and JC and ask a question listeners have probably wondered themselves. The kind that makes the room suddenly a little warmer. The kind that gets a reaction you can hear even without video. Do they get an answer? Let’s just say you will have to listen very closely.

This is the type of episode that reminds you why the show is called I Just Wanted to Push Record. Nothing is staged. Nothing is censored. Everything is on the table.
