SR016 - Part 1: Ten Cent Beer Night, Stevie Ray, and the Curse of Greg Brown

The Shaffer RULES Podcast is back with Episode 16 - Part 1, and this one kicks off with music, drinks, baseball chaos, old-school sports stories, and just enough correction-corner energy to keep everyone honest.Brian and Corey open the episode with Brian’s original song, “I Gotta Leave It All Behind,” and Brian talks about how the song was recorded with a missing guitar string. That leads into a full-on Stevie Ray Vaughan appreciation session, including broken strings and live performances,From there, the guys jump into cruise ship drinking stories, hot houses, wine cork disasters, and the official Pour of the Week featuring Whistlepig Piggyback Rye. They also talk about the updated podcast screen setup, the Maono microphones, Dubby Energy, and the new Shaffer RULES call/text line.Then it is time for some listener feedback and corrections. The guys address comments about Greg Brown, Tim Raines, and the pronunciation/meaning behind Rammstein’s “Du Hast.” Naturally, this turns into a full investigation into whether Greg Brown may be carrying a curse from the Pirate Parrot days all the way through Buffalo Bills Super Bowl heartbreaks.The retro sports deep dive this week focuses on one of the wildest promotions in baseball history: Ten Cent Beer Night in Cleveland on June 4, 1974. Cheap beer, angry fans, a brawl, players swinging bats for protection, stolen bases, and a full-on ninth-inning riot. It is exactly the kind of sports disaster story made for the Shaffer RULES Podcast!The episode wraps with some baseball rule trivia from the 1800s, our umpire strike-three calls, a quick NBA playoffs rant, and a shoutout to the Armstrong Riverhawks Girls Softball Team after a strong season and playoff run.Grab a drink, hit that Dubby button, and enjoy another ridiculous, honest, and music-filled ride with the Shaffer RULES Podcast.Like, comment, and subscribe, and share the show with a friend.#ShafferRULES #ShafferRULESPodcast #RetroSports #SportsHistory #BaseballHistory #TenCentBeerNight #PittsburghSports #ClevelandBaseball #PiratesBaseball #BuffaloBills #GregBrown #FireGregBrown #StevieRayVaughan #WhistlepigWhiskey #ArmstrongRiverhawks #LocalSports #ComedyPodcast #SportsPodcast #MusicTalk #PourOfTheWeekShaffer RULES Podcast, Episode 16, Ten Cent Beer Night, Cleveland Indians, Cleveland baseball riot, retro sports stories, old baseball rules, baseball history, Greg Brown, Buffalo Bills Super Bowl losses, Pirate Parrot, Pittsburgh Pirates, Tim Raines, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Whistlepig Piggyback Rye, whiskey review, Maono microphones, Dubby Energy, Armstrong Riverhawks softball, Armstrong County podcast, local sports podcast, comedy sports podcast, Pittsburgh sports talk, music podcast, podcast show notes, Brian Shaffer, Corey, Pour of the Week.
