SR019 - Part 2: Taint Bacon, Strike Three & the Irish Goodbye

The Shaffer RULES crew is finally back—after Brian forgets to hit record and loses ten minutes of what was undoubtedly million-dollar podcast content.

In Part 2 of Episode 19, Corey shares his collection of vintage Eljer miniature toilets, sinks, bathtubs, and other pieces of Ford City history now available at Shaff’s Emporium and Woodworks. From there, the conversation takes a sharp turn into some highly questionable entrepreneurial concepts involving peach gummies, buckets of gummies, and the potential launch of the world’s first taint bacon gummy empire.

The guys also introduce a possible new tradition for podcast guests: demonstrating their signature strike-three call. That leads to stories about umpiring, wooden bats, altered bats, changing high school baseball equipment rules, and the challenge of surviving a youth softball game that refuses to end.

Later, the conversation covers the Pittsburgh Pirates, the ongoing campaign against Greg Brown, legendary outfield arms, college fraternity memories, old-school marijuana runs, whether it is better to be called “boss” or “chief,” and the art of the Irish goodbye.

Dane also discusses his upcoming wedding, while the crew explains why local sponsorships are important to the future of the podcast—including equipment upgrades, remote broadcasts, live events, and the creation of more locally focused media content.

As always, expect adult humor, unfiltered conversations, questionable ideas, and stories that probably should not have been recorded.
