Episode 12 – Part 1: Tube Socks, Taint Bacon, and American Ice Football

In Episode 12 – Part 1 of the Shaffer RULES Podcast, Brian and Corey kick things off with featured local music from Gypsy Cowboys and their song “Easy on the Eyes, Hard on the Heart,” then roll into a wide-open conversation full of bar stories, old-school nostalgia, weird internet rabbit holes, and the kind of off-the-wall humor only this show can deliver.

This episode covers everything from new podcast gear and a shoutout to sponsor Maono, to talk about bourbon, rye whiskey, homemade salsa, vintage video store memories, and the continuing saga of “She Took My Van.” Along the way, the guys riff on weird band names, classic slang, old trends like tube socks, Skidz, Jams, and Starter jackets, plus music talk ranging from Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits to Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, and the Grateful Dead.

They also dive into bizarre sports content, including the discovery of German Ice Football, swap stories about local bars and old VHS rentals like Cops Too Hot for TV and Faces of Death, and wrap this part with some passionate Pittsburgh Penguins talk heading into the playoffs. It’s funny, chaotic, nostalgic, and absolutely on brand.
