SR019 - Part 1: Fresh Off the Plane: Brazil, Bourbon & Summer Concerts

The Shaffer RULES crew is back from a brief summer hiatus—and this time, they needed extra chairs.

In Episode 19, Part 1, Brian and Corey welcome brothers Dan Ober and Dane Taylor for the podcast’s first four-person episode. The conversation starts with a tasting of Angel’s Envy Triple Oak bourbon before quickly moving into summer adventures, live music, international travel and the usual collection of stories that can only happen on Shaffer RULES.

Brian shares highlights from a wedding trip to Orlando, including an unforgettable late-night jam session featuring musicians from multiple bands. Corey recaps tackling the massive 100-Mile Yard Sale near Benezette, Pennsylvania, where he and Christina managed to visit 64 yard sales in a single day.

The group also reviews a packed night of live music at Stage AE featuring Dirty Heads, 311, Rome and Ocean Alley. They discuss 311’s musicianship, an impressive drum and percussion solo, Rome’s post-Sublime career, the energy of Dirty Heads and why some concert moments can never be recreated.

Brian also talks about performing with the Winery Cats at the Meredith Inn, while the crew debates venue hospitality, free drinks for musicians and the dangers of assuming the bar tab is covered.

Then Daniel takes the conversation international as he reflects on spending two years working in Brazil’s nuclear power industry. He discusses Brazilian culture, the country’s passion for soccer, life near Angra dos Reis and the dramatic story of having his phone snatched by a motorcyclist in Rio—just three days before returning home.

Pour a drink, pull up a chair and join the conversation.
