    SR012 - Part 2: Mixtapes, Memories & Lee’s Legacy

    Episode 12 - Part 2: Mixtapes, Memories & Lee’s Legacy In Episode 12 – Part 2, the guys kick things off with a blast from the past, revisiting an old live recording from the Free Peanuts Band at the Hilltop and diving into the nostalgia of mixtapes, cassette recordings, and the raw magic of old-school music memories. They swap stories about digitizing old tapes, lost homemade radio shows, local bands, and the musicians who made an impact along the way. The heart of this episode is a tribute to Lee Grafton, who wraps up an incredible 11-year run building the Armstrong Arrows National Bound hockey program into something respected far beyond the local scene. The guys reflect on the time, sacrifice, mentorship, and legacy Lee created, then bring him on for a call to talk retirement, summer plans, concerts, and what comes next. It is equal parts heartfelt and hilarious, exactly the way friends should celebrate each other. They also shout out sponsor Maono, talking about their new PD200W microphones, upgraded headphones, AI noise reduction, and the kind of gear that makes the show sound better and look sharper in the studio. And because this is Shaffer RULES, the episode closes with a totally unpredictable run through pillow fighting championships, old-school American Gladiators, oddball TV, local stories, and the usual mix of laughs, side quests, and barstool-style commentary. They wrap by inviting listeners to send in music, old mixtapes, and anything weird, fun, or nostalgic worth sharing.

    SR011 - Part 1: Belly Busters, Beer Bongs, and Bad Ideas

    Episode 11 - Part 1: Belly Busters, Beer Bongs, and Bad Ideas In Episode 11 – Part 1 of the Shaffer RULES Podcast, the guys bounce between old band memories, hometown stories, and the kind of laugh-out-loud conversations that only get better once the drinks start flowing. What starts with music nostalgia quickly turns into stories about dive bars, old friends, and the glory days of trying to act like rock stars before real life took over. They also talk about launching new Shaffer RULES merch and celebrate a big milestone for the show: landing their first official sponsor, Maono. Between the excitement of new gear, product testing, and building the podcast into something bigger, this episode has a little behind-the-scenes energy mixed in with the usual chaos. From there, the conversation veers into “Me & My Guy” dance survival, bringing the word “rad” back into circulation, memories of Miller High Life, and stories from local staples like the Hilltop and the Halton Hilton. It is equal parts nostalgia, barroom history, and small-town storytelling. Then things really go off the rails with a run of unforgettable college stories involving fraternity drama, reckless drinking, trashed bathrooms, fire extinguishers, fights, and all the dumb stuff that somehow becomes legendary years later. It is the kind of episode that feels like sitting at the bar with friends while one story keeps topping the last one. Like, comment, and subscribe, and share the show with a friend.

    Episode 10 - Part 2: Broken Patience, Late-Night Chaos, & She Took My Van Show Notes: In Part 2 of Episode 10, the guys are back from break and immediately dive into a brutally relatable rant about trying to cancel DirecTV. What should have been a simple phone call turns into a drawn-out mess involving missing cancellation requests, endless hold times, surprise charges, and the all-too-familiar frustration of dealing with customer service. From there, the conversation shifts into the world of streaming, internet providers, and the pros and cons of services like Fubo, Xfinity, Kinetic, T-Mobile, AT&T, and mobile hotspots. There is plenty of talk about what it takes to keep reliable internet running at home, at work, and eventually at the new podcast space. The crew also gives an update on the new building, including cleaning out the office, getting the room ready, and planning the move for podcast production. To close things out, the episode goes completely off the rails in the best way possible with a hilarious, improvised recorder jam session and the unforgettable original song, “She Took My Van.” Expect tech headaches, real-life frustrations, shop talk, and the usual Shaffer RULES brand of unpredictable comedy.

    SR010 - Part 1: Old Balls, Dirty Woman & the Oddities Expo

    Episode 10 - Part 1: Old Balls, Dirty Woman & the Oddities Expo In Part 1 of Episode 10, the guys kick things off with a completely off-the-rails original song before settling in with the Whiskey of the Week: Travelers. From there, the conversation jumps from Brian’s Texas work trip and TSA panic moment to music talk, including Rob Zombie, April Wine, and upcoming concerts. They also recap a trip to the World Oddities Expo, where bizarre displays, strange stage acts, and unusual finds made for plenty of stories, including this week’s Find of the Week: a hand-painted wooden mask. Along the way, there’s the usual mix of weird instruments, old stories, and random memories that send the episode in all kinds of directions. The episode also dives into a fun stretch on card collecting and memorabilia, with plenty of nostalgia around old sports cards, the junk wax era, overpriced rookie cards, and the thrill of digging through collectibles to find something worthwhile. It’s a mix of childhood memories, hobby talk, and the kind of conversation that anyone who ever ripped open packs of cards will appreciate. One of the most interesting parts of the episode is the conversation around hearing loss, tinnitus, and strange sound frequencies. The guys get into what it’s like dealing with constant ringing, how certain frequencies seem to stand out in unexpected ways, and the strange experience of hearing sounds, patterns, and loops that other people might not even notice. It turns into a funny but genuinely fascinating rabbit hole about how hearing changes over time, how the brain may compensate for lost frequencies, and how those changes can make everyday sounds seem a lot stranger than they should. It’s loose, funny, strange, and exactly what you’d expect from the Shaffer RULES Podcast. Like, comment, and subscribe, and share the show with a friend.

    Episode 9 - Part 2: One-Hit Wonders, Wild Tabloids & Streaming Wars In Part 2 of Episode 9, the guys are back from break and immediately dive into annoying insurance spam, scam calls, and the art of messing with telemarketers. From there, things roll into a fun rabbit hole on one-hit wonders, with debate over artists like Ace of Base, Evanescence, Blind Melon, Dexy's Midnight Runners, and plenty more from the 70s, 80s, and 2000s. They also get into a hilarious batch of old tabloid newspapers and magazines, reading outrageous headlines involving Elvis, aliens, Oprah, killer camels, miracle babies, and total grocery-store nonsense. The conversation then shifts into movies, streaming services, sports broadcasting, UFC, and how live TV is quickly becoming pay-to-watch, before wrapping up with some great stories about missed opportunities in Hollywood and entertainment history. As always, the episode closes in true Shaffer RULES fashion: loose, loud, and completely off the rails.

    SR009 - Part1: Accordion Chaos, Bourbon Truths & Small-Town Smoke

    Episode 9 - Part 1: Accordion Chaos, Bourbon Truths & Small-Town Smoke This week on the Shaffer RULES Podcast, Brian and Corey kick things off with a wildly unhinged mix of musical experiments, including Corey's sweet "Milan" accordion, a homemade steel drum, and Brian's new tiny-but-mighty guitar processor, the "Sonicake Pocket Master" that somehow turns into a full-blown jam session. What starts as “find of the week” quickly becomes a full-on noise parade. The guys also crack open a fresh bottle of “Thomas S. Moore Cabernet Cask” bourbon and give it the full Shaffer RULES treatment. Neat? Not quite. On the rocks? Much better! They break down the nose, the proof, the lack of cab finish, and why this one needed a little more time in the barrel to really hit right. Naturally, it gets paired with some bacon jalapeño beef sticks from Kevin’s Meats in Kittanning, PA. From there, the conversation goes everywhere in the best way possible: Olympic curling, duckpin bowling, bowling “pro cards,” TikTok doom scrolling, local business support, first impressions, courtroom etiquette, and a heated rant on why local people should support local businesses before chasing corporate hype. This episode has a little bit of everything: bourbon talk, weird instruments, old-school values, and the kind of honest small-town commentary that makes Shaffer RULES what it is.
