The Shaffer RULES Podcast is officially settling into the new studio, and Episode 17 kicks things off with a laid-back test run that turns into a full episode. Brian and Corey crack open a Modelo, revisit WhistlePig PiggyBack for the “Pour of the Week,” and talk about what it means to finally have a permanent podcast home.

The guys preview the upcoming Shaffer RULES Podcast Live event at Elk Brewing Company in Kittanning, PA, happening Friday, June 19, 2026, with audience participation, podcast tryouts, interviews, local food, and a game-show-style twist.

This episode also dives into voiceover opportunities, working for yourself, Gen X “figure it out” energy, the stress and freedom of building something on your own, and the importance of pushing forward when life forces a reset.
