Part 2 - Remakes, Meat Science, and the Guy on the Corner


Listen Later

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-check classic 80s TV crushes, and then take a hard turn into why certain remakes (looking at you, The Crow) are absolute disasters, plus a wild reminder of what happened on the original film set.

From there, Brian fires up the timer again and throws out a real question: what are “age-appropriate hobbies” in your 40s/50s? That spirals into a surprisingly useful, hilarious segment: smoking meats, pork butt lessons, the stall, wrapping strategy, when smoke stops mattering, and why cooking is basically chemistry. There’s also a quick detour into cast iron steak perfection, “Tuna Helper without the tuna,” and the birth of a potential Breakfast Club (because retirement energy is real).

Next up: What annoyed you this week? We get road rage stories featuring an unhinged tailgater doing makeup while driving, followed by a full townie rant, complete with a small-town Family Dollar parking lot war, ticketing drama, and plans for a future speaker system to mess with customers from an office upstairs. Walmart catches strays too, because of course it does.

The back half shifts into something more real: a quick check-in on the recently released of “The Dismissal” episode and the bigger vision for the show, expanding beyond the usual chaos into monthly serious specials, broader topics, more guests, and eventually a larger Shaffer RULES podcast “umbrella” (including live sessions and watch-alongs).

And finally: the Guy on the Corner update. A listener pushes for the interview, sightings are confirmed (including a Walmart appearance), and the plan evolves into boots-on-the-ground “man on the street” content, handheld gear incoming, mini-doc dreams loading… even if winter makes it a little harder to chase the story.

Part 2 is equal parts ridiculous and real, exactly the balance this show is starting to own.

Part 3 begins up after the break. #ShafferRULES #ShafferRULESPodcast
