Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast

Matt McCusker and Shane Gillis started this podcast when Shane was still relatively unknown in comedy, and it has grown alongside his meteoric rise. After SNL, Netflix specials, and becoming one of the biggest names in stand-up, Shane kept the podcast going with his buddy Matt, and that loyalty says something about how much fun they have making it. The format is simple: Matt and Shane sit down, usually with a comedian friend, and just talk. There is no real structure. They riff on whatever comes to mind, tell stories, and make each other laugh. Episodes run about an hour to 90 minutes and come out biweekly. Guests like Dan Soder, Luis J. Gomez, and Chris O'Connor rotate through regularly. The show has 346 episodes and an impressive 4.8-star rating from nearly 11,000 reviews. The chemistry between Matt and Shane is the whole show. Matt is the more cerebral, slightly anxious one, while Shane brings the big swings and fearless comedy. Their back-and-forth feels completely unscripted because it is. Fans are passionate about this one. Some prefer episodes where both hosts are present versus solo shows, and the comment sections get heated about it. For JRE listeners who love the comedian hangout episodes, where guys from the Comedy Store just sit around being funny, MSSP captures that exact energy in podcast form.
