Shaffer RULES PodcastPart 3: Ashtrays, Idiots of the Week, and Betting on YourselfEpisode 6 – Part 3 Ashtrays, Idiots of the Week, and Betting on YourselfPart 3 opens in classic Shaffer RULES fashion, by accidentally discovering that ashtrays might actually be an age-appropriate hobby.

Shaffer RULES PodcastPart 2 - Remakes, Meat Science, and the Guy on the CornerEpisode 6- Part 2 picks up right after the break with refreshed drinks, refreshed attitudes, and the kind of derailments only Shaffer RULES can pull off.The guys start by talking nostalgia and Hollywood’s obsession with rebooting everything, Greatest American Hero getting a remake, and why some updates are fine (after 40 years)… while others should be illegal. They hit The Fall Guy movie, name-check classic 80s TV crushes, and then take a hard turn into why certain remakes (looking at you, The Crow) are absolute disasters, plus a wild reminder of what happened on the original film set...

The guys break down how live auctions have ch...
