Matt Shorraw first came on our podcast as a man with a dream to save a historic building in the small city of Monessen, Pennsylvania. By the time he came back on our podcast, he was the mayor of that same city (garnering both local and national recognition along the way). Now, he finds himself feeling the heat of controversy, as he has been MISSING from several council meetings in a row. People were quick to come out of the woodwork with judgements about his actions, but in this episode, we get the story from the mayor himself. This episode is a MUST LISTEN for EVERYONE (just as this podcast is for EVERYONE, despite the fact that it's titled MEN IN THEIR 30S ONLY). 

The guys don't actually have a sleepover, but they do have their BEST EPISODE YET.

After a short podcasting break, Chris and Mike are BACK with the 79th episode of Men In Their 30s Only (a podcast for everyone). This episode was recorded live on location at returning guest Johnny Yetsconish's house, right before tipoff of Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Surprise guest Jeff Fitch stops by to lend his expertise on a plethora of topics. The guys discuss everything from varieties of salsa to committing to drinking tap water from here on out. All in all, this shorter than normal episode will be considered by some to be the BEST EPISODE YET.

As atomic scientists announce that we’re only 2 minutes from midnight, Mike is dealing with his own doomsday clock — he’s only 8 days from the end of his prime. The good news is that he’ll be entering his GOLDEN PRIME, but the bad news is that he’ll be saying goodbye to the podcast. Topics of discussion include sharks, the Super Bowl, artists who make fans lock up their phones, and people who talk at the movies. All in all, this is the BEST 74TH EPISODE OF A PODCAST EVER.

With only 2 weeks left in Mike's 73 episode run as cohost of Men In Their 30s Only, the guys welcome special guest Nate "Angel Boy" Hall. Together, they discuss everything from lawn tractors to giving away money.

Special guest Pat Dee joins Mike and Chris for an intimate, heart-to-heart conversation about everything from heartbreak to Vietnam.

The boys are back with another episode after a several month hiatus. They talk about a lot of things, but unfortunately, Mike left before they could discuss a title or an episode description. You're just going to have to believe that this might be a good episode, but it's really anybody's guess. 

The guys are back after a hiatus, and they're here to tell you the 7 unhealthiest foods. This episode also features an all-time great edition of GameTime.

A lot has happened in the 4 month hiatus that Mike and Chris took from the podcast world. A lot of what has happened is terrible, some of what has happened is good, and the verdict is still out on some other things that have happened. The best thing to do would be just to listen to this episode.

Episode 53 is the first episode from Chris’s new house. The guys catch everyone up on what’s been going on in their lives, including Mike’s trip to his 20 year high school reunion. Special guest Chris Jay is featured via telephone to talk about his new movie The Bet (which is available on all On Demand platforms, including Amazon, PS4, Xbox, and more).

In the 42nd episode of this podcast for EVERYONE, Mike opens up with a brand new catchphrase that is sure to be the missing ingredient needed for podcast perfection. The guys open up about very personal issues, including whether or not there was a giant squid at the end of The Goonies. A new segment called HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS has Chris professing his childhood love of Bell Biv Devoe and the Raiders, in which he comes to the realization that maybe he WAS actually REALLY COOL as a 10 year old. Mike gets very excited about GameTime this week, especially about the FUNNY ANSWER in the multiple choice of each question. There’s no doubt that each FUNNY ANSWER will brighten up your day, just as it has brightened up Mike’s. There’s also no doubt that this is the BEST EPISODE YET.

With absolutely ZERO guests this episode, Mike and Chris get down to serious business. Discussing everything from the Syrian refugee crisis to the biggest blockbusters of the year, they don’t agree on much. They DO agree on one thing though: this is the BEST EPISODE YET. 

40 episodes in, and the Men In Their 30s have truly hit their stride. Mike does not brief Chris on special guest Anthony Elias, and they meet for the first time on the air. Chris airs his grievances against men who are disrespectful and intimidating to women, and Mike is way off in his prediction of what he thinks Chris will discuss during the episode. Mike brings along an extra long GameTime dealing with self-improvement which threatens to put a divide in the newfound friendship between Chris and Anthony. A controversial Steed Time about fashion leaves Mike very disappointed in his brother. A previously unreleased live recording of a legendary punk rock band wraps up what is undoubtedly the BEST EPISODE YET.

Not only is Episode 39 the LAST PODCAST IN IT’S 30S, but it’s also the LATEST podcast that the guys have ever recorded. Joined by very special West Coast guest Tony Hartman, Mike and Chris cast pods into the wee hours of the night (until about 11:30 PM EST). It is an extremely important episode, as Tony opens up about his current battle with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 2i, an extremely rare and debilitating disease with no cure. Stem cell treatment is a very promising option, but it is also an expensive one. The guys discuss Tony’s current campaign to fundraise enough money to travel abroad and get the help he needs. His story and positive outlook are both inspiring and uplifting, as he battles a problem that he refuses to let define him. To say that this is a CAN’T MISS EPISODE would be putting it lightly…what would be much more accurate would be to say that this is the BEST EPISODE YET. 

Oh brother! The guys are back, and the hot topic is just that - BROTHERS. Mike always had one, but now Chris does too. Special guest Brandon Carson lays down the details on what it’s like to be Chris’s new brother-in-law, and he also discusses the start of his own new podcast. On the eve of his last day of work at the scrapyard, Chris discusses his huge life decision to quit his job and once again pursue a fully creative life. Joey Ritter contributes a great segment for all the listeners in the PARENT category, and a new Tiny Talk With Tony features another segment contributor, the one and only Joe DeWitt! Drum extraordinaire Cory Muro wraps up the episode with a segment of Punchline memories which was meant to be part of the last episode but was submitted too late. As all Men In Their 30s know - better late than never! All in all, there’s no doubt that this is the BEST EPISODE YET.

Since it’s Episode 37, Chris and Mike take a walk down PUNCHLINE memory lane with special guests PJ Caruso and Steve “Steed” Soboslai. For any listeners who may not know, Chris has played in the band Punchline since 1997, and he probably wouldn’t be podcasting today if it weren’t for that fact. The guys reflect on their experiences, from recording to traveling all over the world. Important issues (such as “should men wear shorts?”) are addressed, and Mike discusses the transition into becoming known as “Steve’s brother”. Guest segments from Greg Wood, Jeff Kopanic, and Pat Dee add to the fun, and a special edition of GameTime puts Mike at a severe disadvantage. With the new Punchline album “Thrilled” coming out on December 4th, not only is this episode very timely, but it’s also the BEST EPISODE YET. 

Episode 36 brings the return of Logan McCurdy, a Man In His 30s who made his first appearance all the way back in Episode 6. Mike brings the guys some Bulletproof Coffee, and then he tries to convince everyone that butter is actually very healthy.  Chris is accused of having fake Twitter accounts, which he adamantly denies. This episode brings with it a brand new guest segment (Tiny Talk with Tony), as well as the fourth installment of an already classic segment (Steed Time). GameTime focuses on books that Mike owns (but hasn’t necessarily read), and the discussion on dating from the previous episode is expanded upon. It’s an episode that men, women, children, and cats alike will all enjoy. Without a doubt, it’s the BEST EPISODE YET.
