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 about an unintentionally embarrassing moment involving AI-generated song lyrics, where a simple songwriting experiment quickly goes sideways and turns into a story he probably wishes he could take back and recounts a wild trip to Chicago with his former band, (kaj).

Corey brings his own stack of unforgettable stories, including the true origin of the phrase “Shaffer RULES,” and a wild moment at an Aerosmith concert where he was unexpectedly approached by an undercover cop. The way he tells the story makes it one of the standout moments of the episode. The two also share funny pet stories, dive into other off-the-wall topics, and spend plenty of time laughing at themselves and each other.

It’s an episode filled with personality, nostalgia, and the kind of real, unfiltered banter that defines the “Shaffer RULES” Podcast.
