Shane has also described his relationship with his brother as 'even when we didn't get along very well, we've always been incredibly similar,' and added that they both liked motion pictures, as well as both being 'nerds.'Īs a child, Shane had a pet parrot named Paco that unfortunately died in winter. However, the ground was too cold, and the family had to keep the bird in the freezer until the ground thawed and they could bury him in the garden. (Shane refuted this by saying Scott was usually the one getting in trouble). He has described his relationship with his parents as 'pretty good,' and his brother, Scott Madej, remarked to Ryan that Shane did not usually get into trouble.
Shane was born to Mark and Sherry Madej in Schaumburg, Illinois, and grew up there. Fans that are also skeptics are referred to as Shaniacs. Shane Madej is one of the two main co-hosts for BuzzFeed Unsolved alongside Ryan Bergara. He does not believe in ghosts nor paranormal forces, but does believe very strongly in Bigfoot.
