Shaffer RULES Podcast

Episode 6 – Part 3 Ashtrays, Idiots of the Week, and Betting on Yourself Part 3 opens in classic Shaffer RULES fashion, by accidentally discovering that ashtrays might actually be an age-appropriate hobby. From handmade elementary school ashtrays (which would absolutely not fly today) to granite cigar ashtrays and repurposed barn lightning rods, the conversation turns into a surprisingly thoughtfu...

Episode 6- Part 2 picks up right after the break with refreshed drinks, refreshed attitudes, and the kind of derailments only Shaffer RULES can pull off. The guys start by talking nostalgia and Hollywood’s obsession with rebooting everything, Greatest American Hero getting a remake, and why some updates are fine (after 40 years)… while others should be illegal. They hit The Fall Guy movie, name-ch...

Episode 6- Part 1 kicks off exactly how Shaffer RULES should, an unplanned, completely unnecessary deep dive into fish sticks, air fryers, and why childhood food memories never live up to reality. From there, Brian and Corey crack Modelos, sip pear-wood smoked Buffalo Trace, and debate what actually makes a good smoked bourbon. The conversation rolls into nostalgia with "Find of the Week," featuri...

Shaffer RULES Podcast – Episode 5: “Bourbon, Ball, Q-Tips, and Bad Impressions” Episode 5 is a full-on grab bag, in the best possible way. We kick things off with a conversation about bourbon: what we’re drinking, what we like, and why it somehow always leads to stronger opinions than expected. From there, we jump headfirst into college football, breaking down the transfer portal, NIL, and the eve...

Just an honest discussion about experiences that leave a lasting impact. In this episode, Corey reflects on being...

Brian and Corey reflect on the holidays, covering smoking meat, bourbon of the week, and the good, bad, and awkward parts of family time. The conversation quickly goes off the rails talking about the spit valve on a trumpet, leading Brian to share a marching band fail from his freshman year in Florida, Corey reads the newspaper, and discusses where his dogs do their business, haha! They also talk...

In Episode 2 of the Shaffer RULES Podcast, it’s Corey’s birthday, and the celebration delivers exactly what you’d expect: hilarious stories, unexpected twists, and plenty of moments that could only happen to Corey and Brian. The two jump into a wide-ranging conversation that includes everything from AI mishaps to crazy band memories, plus the real story behind the podcast’s name. Brian opens up ab...
