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," featuring vintage arcade and toy collectibles, including an ’80s Stomper truck and a Super Pac-Man faceplate, plus stories about collecting, reselling, and the thrill of auction hunting. The guys break down how live auctions have changed, why online bidding dominates, and share some unbelievable steals (and painful misses).

The episode closes with a timed, no-nonsense Steelers discussion: Mike Tomlin stepping down, what it means for the franchise, coaching contracts, draft picks, and the reality of where the team stands without a clear quarterback.

Loose, honest, and completely off the rails, Part 1 ends right as the timer (and bladder) runs out.

Part 2 picks up after the break. #ShafferRULES #ShafferRULESPodcast
