  • TCNW 847: 23rd Psalm by Barney

    TCNW 847: 23rd Psalm by Barney
    Jul 16 2025
    Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:31:20 I’ve been looking through old videos the last week or so and ran across a wonderful routine that David “The Mayberry Deputy” Browning and I did back in September 2015. A whole group of tribute artist gathered at Bellevue Baptist Church near Memphis, TN to perform a play written by David called “Ernest T’s Rock Concert.” A portion of the play, this segment called 23rd Psalms, was written by Joe Gritton. Podcast listeners might remember the name Joe Gritton (known around the Mayberry internet world as “The Untrained Voice” ) as the writer of several episodes of Two Chairs featuring Bert Miller and Floyd Lawson. Joe has passed away but what he wrote still impacts the lives of us Mayberry fans. The first of Joe’s podcast episodes was way back in episode 17 of Two Chairs called, “Bert Miller Barbershop Flashback” and there have been several more “old time radio” type scripts by Joe since. A link to all is in the notes below. We’ll go over some fun Mayberry trivia questions from Paul Mulik and related to things Floyd says, part 2 and we’ll do a few additional questions as well.

  • TCNW 846: Happy Valley, Shazam

    TCNW 846: Happy Valley, Shazam
    Jul 9 2025
    As I mentioned last episode, on a recent trip to TAGSRWC HQ in Nashville, I was presented a tub full of articles, papers, stories, and more. As I was going though the papers, I found a great “Howard’s Notes” article from 1997 sent into TAGSRWC HQ by The Mayberry Texans chapter. This one was about Happy Valley. You know…what Chief Noogatuck said he’d call the valley that contained Mayberry. We’ll learn about that valley on this episode. I have also been thinking about “catchphrases” fans have grown to love and where did they originate. This episode we’ll look for answers to those questions related to Gomer’s “Shazam” and Barney’s “Nip it in the bud.” We’ll go over some fun Mayberry trivia questions from Paul Mulik and related to things Floyd says.

  • TCNW 845: Mt. Pilot or Pilot Mountain

    TCNW 845: Mt. Pilot or Pilot Mountain
    Jul 2 2025
    Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:30:53 On a recent trip to TAGSRWC HQ in Nashville, I was presented a tub full of articles, papers, stories, and more. As I was going though the papers, I found a great story from 1994 sent into TAGSRWC HQ by The Mayberry Texans chapter. It was about Pilot Mountain, or as Mayberry fans know it best, Pilot Mountain, N.C. This history lesson for both the fictional Mt. Pilot and the actual Pilot Mountain is something I believe fans will enjoy. This being Independence Day week here in the U.S.A., I did a little research on characters and actors from The Andy Griffith Show to try and determine those that had served in the military. I realize that July 4th is not really about honoring our military but I figure there’s never a bad time to do so. I’ll present what I learned and ask for all of you to help me crowdsource information on cast and crew to develop a more complete list that we can publish on the Mayberry.info site. We’ll go over some fun trivia questions as well. Sign up for the Two Chairs E-mail Mailing List Don’t forget to sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting e-mail mailing list.

After the switch, Bee decides to enter her pickles in the county fair. Unfortunately, the perennial winner is Clara Johnson, Bee’s best friend, and she has her heart set on winning her 12th blue ribbon in a row. Andy and Barney have no choice but to get rid of all eight jars before she can enter, so they eat night and day until all the pickles are gone. They do their work proudly, but Bee decides that since the boys liked them so much, she will make a double batch. We’ll review some notes and “Odd Facts Known by Few” related to the episode The Pickle Story. We’ll go over the answers to the trivia questions.

    May 28 2025
    The Clubmen was the 42nd episode filmed and the 42nd aired of The Andy Griffith Show. (S2.E10) We’ll play Mayberry trivia all about The Clubmen. Plot Summary The Clubmen: One of Andy’s big-city fishing buddies invites him to join the Esquire Club, an exclusive Raleigh men’s organization. Barney is also asked to join and he, of course, overreacts and alienates the entire group by trying too hard to fit in. Andy is offered membership, but Barney is not. Andy tells his fishing buddy that he must decline because he does not feel right joining a club that wouldn’t let in his best friend. Before Andy can break the news to Barney, Barney assumes Andy was the one rejected and sits down to write the club a scathing letter of rejection himself. We’ll review some notes and “Odd Facts Known by Few” related to the episode The Clubmen. We’ll go over the answers to the trivia questions. Then we’ll play some trivia provided by Paul Mulik and focused on cousins. Sign up for the Two Chairs E-mail Mailing List Don’t forget to sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting e-mail mailing list.
