Two Chairs No Waiting

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com This episode we'll listen to, and I recommend watch, a skit performed during Col. Tim's Talent Time at the 2023 edition of Mayberry Days. Mayberry Days is held in Mt. Airy, NC (Andy's hometown) the last full weekend of September each year and Col. Tim's is the wrap-up of the main portion of Mayberry Days. Col. Tim's is something you almost need to experience to understand but I would say it's kind of a "Who's Line is it Anyway?" type of performance with random things happening throughout. It always sells out so I believe it's good enough to keep folks coming back year after year and it's always a different show. This episode we experience "Count Istvan Teleky" with Tim Pettigrew as Goober, Terry Varvel as Barney and Allan Newsome (me) as Floyd. The trio re-create the scene of the three in the backroom of the Mayberry courthouse conjuring "the Count" and making wishes. We have a few voice mails from listeners and then we'll wrap things up with a few trivia questions from the 2023 Mayberry Cruise. == Links == Two Chairs Merch https://www.teepublic.com/stores/two-chairs-no-waiting?ref_id=15499 # Weaver's Newsletter November 2023 - https://weaversdepartmentstore.com/newsletter/2023/11/weavers-newsletter-november-2023/ # Mayberry Man Movie - https://MayberryMan.com # Mayberry Man Movie (FREE on YouTube) - https://youtu.be/a_AwfI9TPY8 # The Mayberry Effect - https://theMayberryEffect.com # Subscribe to the Weaver's Newsletter - https://weaversdepartmentstore.com/newsletter/subscribe-to-weavers-newsletter/ # Weaver's Department Store - https://www.weaversdepartmentstore.com # Sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast mailing list - https://www.imayberry.com/mailman/listinfo/twochairspodcast_imayberry.com # iMayberry Community - https://imayberrycommunity.com/ # The Mayberry Historical Society - https://www.mayberry.info/ # The Mayberry Channel on YouTube.com - https://www.youtube.com/user/mayberrycom

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com Happy 15th birthday to Two Chairs No Waiting. On October 11, 2008 the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast had it's very first episode published to the world. Back in those days, most people didn't have high-speed internet so I did my best to keep episode length short and therefore the file size small. That first episode was only 12 minutes 11 seconds long and the file was less than 6 Megs. For reference, episode 755 was over 42 minutes long with a file size of almost 30 Megs. Some other things that happened in October 2008: Oct 7 Music, podcast, and video streaming service Spotify is launched Oct 22 Google Play is launched, the official app store for the Android operating system There was no video version of the first episode, thank goodness, because I recorded it in my bedroom wearing an USB headphone/microphone that made noises if I moved my head and picked up every sound in the house. The first "live stream" of the podcast didn't happen until episode 64 in very late December of 2009, over a year after the podcast began. That first video stream was not great. Those who attended couldn't hear the music I play to start and end episode nor could they see anything other that a bad quality version of me. I worked to improve things for the video so I skipped a week and by episode 66 those who attended could at least see and hear things though the video quality was still bad. By episode 67, I had vey much improved the video quality and the "live stream" became watchable. By episode 72 I had upgraded the microphone to the one I currently use and both audio and video quality got us to an acceptable level. Other improvements have been done to the camera, lighting, software and computers over the years and hopefully the host has also improved. We finish up with some Mayberry trivia.

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com We had some feedback last week that I didn't cover and one in particular influenced this entire episode. The first bit of feedback, I think I did cover last week but we like re-runs around here so....I'll do it again. The second bit of feedback is from an anonymous caller talking about Otis Campbell Day in Nashville, TN. We'll hear from him and I'll clear up a few things he mentions then we'll go and hear a full report on the Otis Campbell Day event from the April 13, 1988 edition of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watcher Club newsletter, The Bullet. We'll wrap things up by playing some Otis related multiple choice Mayberry trivia questions. == Links == # Hal Smith "Otis Campbell" Nashville Now 1988 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiB-MI7IjJM # This is how involved Andy Griffith was in the writing of his hit 1960s TV show (MeTV.com) - https://www.metv.com/stories/this-is-how-involved-andy-griffith-was-in-the-writing-of-his-hit-1960s-tv-show # Mayberry Days - https://MayberryDays.org # Mayberry Man Movie - https://MayberryMan.com # Mayberry Man Movie (FREE on YouTube) - https://youtu.be/a_AwfI9TPY8 # The Mayberry Effect - https://theMayberryEffect.com # Subscribe to the Weaver's Newsletter - https://weaversdepartmentstore.com/newsletter/subscribe-to-weavers-newsletter/ # Weaver's Department Store - https://www.weaversdepartmentstore.com # Sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast mailing list - https://www.imayberry.com/mailman/listinfo/twochairspodcast_imayberry.com # iMayberry Community - https://imayberrycommunity.com/ # The Mayberry Historical Society - https://www.mayberry.info/ # The Mayberry Channel on YouTube.com - https://www.youtube.com/user/mayberrycom Two Chairs Merch https://www.teepublic.com/stores/two-chairs-no-waiting?ref_id=15499

* Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com It's been a long time since I did a show about the top episodes of The Andy Griffith Show so I thought to celebrate the 750th podcast we'd have some fun with the top 10 episodes. This list of top 10 comes from The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club web site poll that's been going on for years. There have been 19,281 votes cast one vote at a time. Meaning, each person only votes for one episode when filling out the form. We'll list out from ten down to one and give you some "odd facts know by few" for each episode as we go.

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com I'm always looking for things we may never have seen related to our friends in Mayberry. That being stories, photos, articles, or just about anything touching on either the characters on The Andy Griffith Show or the actors who played them. I recently ran across an article from the Los Angeles Times from January 12, 1960 titled "Howard McNear as Acting Specialist" and felt like I had struck gold. There isn't any talk about his time on The Andy Griffith Show because McNear first appeared as Floyd in the episode "Mayberry Goes Hollywood" on January 2, 1961, almost a year after this article was published. He had already been a barber on TV tough because he appeared as "Andy the barber" on season 2, episode 8 of "Leave it to Beaver" called "The Shave" (November 20, 1958). It was a memorable yet fairly small role that *may* have paved the way to Mayberry. I realize I'm a bit biased toward this actor but I hope you'll enjoy hearing a bit more about him and his career before "Floyd." I've done nine episodes of the podcast about Howard McNear but since I've done about 740 episode that are not about him, I think I'm balancing pretty well. We'll play some trivia to wrap up the fun. Sit back and enjoy the show! == Links == # Two Chairs Podcasts about Howard McNear - https://imayberry.com/podcasts/tag/howard-mcnear/ # Mayberry Days - https://MayberryDays.org # Mayberry Man Movie - https://MayberryMan.com # Mayberry Man Movie (FREE on YouTube) - https://youtu.be/a_AwfI9TPY8 # The Mayberry Effect - https://theMayberryEffect.com # Subscribe to the Weaver's Newsletter - https://weaversdepartmentstore.com/newsletter/subscribe-to-weavers-newsletter/ # Weaver's Department Store - https://www.weaversdepartmentstore.com # Sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast mailing list - https://www.imayberry.com/mailman/listinfo/twochairspodcast_imayberry.com # iMayberry Community - https://imayberrycommunity.com/ # The Mayberry Historical Society - https://www.mayberry.info/ # The Mayberry Channel on YouTube.com - https://www.youtube.com/user/mayberrycom Two Chairs Merch https://www.teepublic.com/stores/two-chairs-no-waiting?ref_id=15499

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com On July 1, 2023, the Mayberry Man movie became FREE to stream on several platforms to include Tubi, EncourageTV (YouTube), Amazon Prime, Vudu, Hoopla, Emirates Airlines, and Qatar Airways. There may be other ways you can watch for free but that's a fairly large selection. Since it's now free for ALL to see, I feel safe moving forward to talk about the movie and some of what we experienced behind the scenes. I want to give folks a chance to see it since I've been hearing from many people who only recently watched the movie. It's been really wonderful to get feedback from people that said they hadn't planned on watching Mayberry Man, or they didn't think it would be a good movie, and being told him how much they'd enjoyed it. Those are the comments I've enjoyed the most. I'm glad they watched it and gave it a chance. They went into it with an open mind and then took the time to message me to let me know what they thought about it. If everyone that may have had negative thoughts about the movie takes a chance and watches it, I think a folks would change their negative thoughts to positive ones. I think they might see what many have seen when we watched Mayberry Man....that Mayberry is not just a place, it's a state of mind....and this movie does it's best to capture that feeling. Stick around and we'll play some trivia, too. == Links == # Mayberry Man Movie - https://MayberryMan.com # Mayberry Man Movie (FREE on EncourageTV-YouTube) - https://youtu.be/a_AwfI9TPY8 # The Mayberry Effect - https://theMayberryEffect.com # Subscribe to the Weaver's Newsletter - https://weaversdepartmentstore.com/newsletter/subscribe-to-weavers-newsletter/ # Weaver's Department Store - https://www.weaversdepartmentstore.com # Sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast mailing list - https://www.imayberry.com/mailman/listinfo/twochairspodcast_imayberry.com # iMayberry Community - https://imayberrycommunity.com/ # The Mayberry Historical Society - https://www.mayberry.info/ # The Mayberry Channel on YouTube.com - https://www.youtube.com/user/mayberrycom Two Chairs Merch https://www.teepublic.com/stores/two-chairs-no-waiting?ref_id=15499

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com For the 11th year, Jan and I are heading to Mt. Airy for a weekend of Mayberry fun and the 11th Mayberry Meet-up. I hope you can join us! The reason we started this event was, in part, because Mayberry Days (you really should attend that event) has grown large enough that we wanted to have a chance to visit Mt. Airy and do things that there just isn’t time to do during Mayberry Days. So, the Mayberry Meet-up is a little more slow paced where you can do as much or as little as you’d like. We will gather at the Mayberry Motor Inn gazebo to watch episodes on Friday night. On Saturday, if all goes well, Neal Brower should be at The Andy Griffith Museum theater on Saturday afternoon for a session of Professor Brower's lectures. Details on that will be provided as the event date approaches. If you haven't (or even if you have) seen The Andy Griffith Museum, you *will* want to take time (a few hours) for a tour. It is amazing! You can visit the museum website at https://www.andygriffithmuseum.org/ or call (336) 786-1604. There is a fee for touring the museum of $8 per person (adult) so keep that in mind. That cost, if on Saturday will include admission to Professor Brower’s lecture. We will gather at the Mayberry Motor Inn gazebo on Friday and Saturday evenings for visiting and to watch episodes of The Andy Griffith Show together.

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com Jim Nabors birthday is this week so I thought this would be a good time time to talk about the show that made him famous. Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. originally aired on the CBS television network from September 25, 1964, until May 2, 1969. The series was a spin-off of The Andy Griffith Show with the pilot episode airing as the fourth season finale on May 18, 1964. Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. was also a major ratings hit, just as was it's parent from Mayberry, never placing lower than tenth in the Nielsen ratings and ending its run as the second-highest-rated series in the United States. == Links == # Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com In the last few weeks, we heard a flashback from "Floyd" from July 13, 2010 and then the first of our old time radio (OTR) "lost" episode from June 5, 2012 called "Mayberry After Mid-day." This week we get to hear the second OTR episode released for episode 500 of Two Chair on October 16, 2018. The episode is called "The New Barber" was written by Joe Gritton and features Mayberry barber, Floyd Lawson, and door-to-door salesman, Bert Miller along with a few other Mayberry notables. Sit back and use your imagination to picture the goings on in Mayberry while you listen to this “old time radio” program. These episodes were some of the hardest episodes I've ever done because of tall the sound effects, music, editing, voice acting (I do all the voices) and just putting the OTR show together. If you watch the video version of the episode you'll see the credits at the end showing everyone involved in making "The New Barber." I think you'll find the credits funny. I had forgotten them so I laughed when putting this episode together. I hope you enjoy the episode and it really makes you feel like you're hearing a lost episode of The Andy Griffith Show. == Links == # TCNW 500: The New Barber - https://imayberry.com/podcasts/2018/10/tcnw-500-the-new-barber/ # Two Chairs No Waiting 92: Floyd & Bert – Business Partners? - https://imayberry.com/podcasts/2010/07/two-chairs-no-waiting-92-floyd-bert-business-partners/ # Two Chairs No Waiting 191: Mayberry After Mid-day Part 1 - https://imayberry.com/podcasts/2012/06/two-chairs-no-waiting-191-mayberry-after-mid-day-part-1/ # Two Chairs No Waiting 192: Mayberry After Mid-day Part 2 - https://imayberry.com/podcasts/2012/06/two-chairs-no-waiting-192-mayberry-after-mid-day-part-2/ # TCNW 384: Mayberry After Mid-day OTR SPECIAL - https://imayberry.com/podcasts/2016/07/tcnw-384-mayberry-after-mid-day-otr-special/ # Mayberry Meetup 2023 Info - https://bit.ly/mayberrymeetup2023 # Mayberry Man Movie - https://MayberryMan.com # The Mayberry Effect - https://theMayberryEffect.com # Subscribe to the Weaver's Newsletter - https://weaversdepartmentstore.com/newsletter/subscribe-to-weavers-newsletter/ # Weaver's Department Store - https://www.weaversdepartmentstore.com # Sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast mailing list - https://www.imayberry.com/mailman/listinfo/twochairspodcast_imayberry.com # iMayberry Community - https://imayberrycommunity.com/ # The Mayberry Historical Society - https://www.mayberry.info/ # The Mayberry Channel on YouTube.com - https://www.youtube.com/user/mayberrycom Two Chairs Merch https://www.teepublic.com/stores/two-chairs-no-waiting?ref_id=15499

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com Last week, we heard from "Floyd" who did a flashback to a time he and Bert Miller talked about going into business together. That was originally released on July 13, 2010 and was the first time I had done anything that reminded me of those old time radio (OTR) programs. It got me thinking about doing other episodes with Floyd & Bert that sound like "lost" OTR versions of The Andy Griffith Show. It was June 5, 2012 (episode 191 & 192) before the first OTR "lost" episode was made. Writer and Two Chairs listener, Joe Gritton, provided me the script featuring Mayberry barber, Floyd Lawson, and door-to-door salesman, Bert Miller. A little over 4 years later, on July 5, 2016 (#384) I re-released the two episodes as a speical edition created to sound like an actual episode of The Andy Griffith Show from beginning to end with opening music and everything, no Two Chairs intro or anything. “Mayberry After Mid-day” begins with Bert Miller walking down the sidewalk of Main Street heading from the Mayberry Grande toward the courthouse. As Bert nears Floyd’s barber shop, he slows down and considers sitting down for a rest on the bench outside the barber shop window but decides to head on inside. Join them now in Mayberry and hear what happens. As a note, we lost Joe Gritton last year and I am so grateful and thankful to have these OTR episodes to remember and honor him. These type episodes are hard to do and take a long time to perform and edit together but they are some of my favorite Two Chairs episodes. We'll have another OTR Mayberry episode next week so come back if you enjoy it. == Links == # Two Chairs No Waiting 92: Floyd & Bert – Business Partners? - https://imayberry.com/podcasts/2010/07/two-chairs-no-waiting-92-floyd-bert-business-partners/ # Two Chairs No Waiting 191: Mayberry After Mid-day Part 1 - https://imayberry.com/podcasts/2012/06/two-chairs-no-waiting-191-mayberry-after-mid-day-part-1/ # Two Chairs No Waiting 192: Mayberry After Mid-day Part 2 - https://imayberry.com/podcasts/2012/06/two-chairs-no-waiting-192-mayberry-after-mid-day-part-2/ # TCNW 384: Mayberry After Mid-day OTR SPECIAL - https://imayberry.com/podcasts/2016/07/tcnw-384-mayberry-after-mid-day-otr-special/ # Mayberry Meetup 2023 Info - https://bit.ly/mayberrymeetup2023 # Mayberry Man Movie - https://MayberryMan.com # The Mayberry Effect - https://theMayberryEffect.com # Subscribe to the Weaver's Newsletter - https://weaversdepartmentstore.com/newsletter/subscribe-to-weavers-newsletter/ # Weaver's Department Store - https://www.weaversdepartmentstore.com # Sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast mailing list - https://www.imayberry.com/mailman/listinfo/twochairspodcast_imayberry.com # iMayberry Community - https://imayberrycommunity.com/ # The Mayberry Historical Society - https://www.mayberry.info/ # The Mayberry Channel on YouTube.com - https://www.youtube.com/user/mayberrycom Two Chairs Merch https://www.teepublic.com/stores/two-chairs-no-waiting?ref_id=15499

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com Back on episode 92 of Two Chairs, I thought it would be nice to have Floyd host the show. To paraphrase Floyd, "Ninety-two, people always talking about podcast but nobody does anything about it." Floyd shares a flashback with us of a time when Bert Miller dropped by the barber shop with a business idea for Floyd. Enjoy this flashback and we hope you'll let it take you to the land of rhythm and pleasure or at least to a scene in Mayberry that we never witnessed but now we get to hear. Then we'll drop in on episode 94 of Two Chairs to remind ourselves about Other. You may know the names of the Darling boys are Rodney (guitar), Doug (also called Jebbin - banjo), Mitch (bass) and Dean (also called Other - mandolin) but do you know where the name "Other" came from? I mean the name "Other" of course. On this episode, we'll find out. We'll also hear from a caller with a couple of corrections and additions to information about Don Knotts appearances on cartoons I mentioned in episode 93. You can go back and give that episode a listen if you're still looking for Mayberry fun. == Links == # Two Chairs No Waiting 92: Floyd & Bert – Business Partners? - https://imayberry.com/podcasts/2010/07/two-chairs-no-waiting-92-floyd-bert-business-partners/ # Two Chairs No Waiting 94: Along Came Other - https://imayberry.com/podcasts/2010/07/two-chairs-no-waiting-94-along-came-other/ # Mayberry Meetup 2023 Info - https://bit.ly/mayberrymeetup2023 # Mayberry Man Movie - https://MayberryMan.com # The Mayberry Effect - https://theMayberryEffect.com # Subscribe to the Weaver's Newsletter - https://weaversdepartmentstore.com/newsletter/subscribe-to-weavers-newsletter/ # Weaver's Department Store - https://www.weaversdepartmentstore.com # Sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast mailing list - https://www.imayberry.com/mailman/listinfo/twochairspodcast_imayberry.com # iMayberry Community - https://imayberrycommunity.com/ # The Mayberry Historical Society - https://www.mayberry.info/ # The Mayberry Channel on YouTube.com - https://www.youtube.com/user/mayberrycom Two Chairs Merch https://www.teepublic.com/stores/two-chairs-no-waiting?ref_id=15499

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com It's May and for the past several years the MeTV network has shown extra MAY-berry things throughout the month. This year, they are kicking off the first weekend of MAYberry with the TV reunion movie, Return to Mayberry, on Sunday May 7, 2023 @4pm ET. Hopefully you aren't getting this episode late and missed it but even if you are, I think you'll find things here that you'll enjoy learning about the movie and what happened to our Mayberry friends. The movie originally aired on April 13, 1986; almost 18 years after the series ended. Sixteen original cast members reunited to reprise the characters fans all came to know and love during the 8 years of The Andy Griffith Show. On April 11, 1986 the New York Time wrote an....unfriendly review of the television movie saying it was "a less appealing reunion for the audience than it may have been for its actors." Well, they were proven wrong because "Return to Mayberry" was the highest-rated television film of 1985-86 with around one-third of the TV-viewing public having tuned in to the broadcast. We'll even play a little Return to Mayberry trivia. Come along with us and let's have fun talking Mayberry. == Links == # 9 things you never noticed in the reunion movie 'Return to Mayberry' (MeTV.com) - https://www.metv.com/lists/9-things-you-never-noticed-in-the-reunion-movie-return-to-mayberry # How well do you remember 'Return to Mayberry'? - https://www.metv.com/quiz/mayberry-mikes-trivia-challenge-how-well-do-you-remember-return-to-mayberry # Mayberry Man Movie - https://MayberryMan.com # The Mayberry Effect - https://theMayberryEffect.com # Subscribe to the Weaver's Newsletter - https://weaversdepartmentstore.com/newsletter/subscribe-to-weavers-newsletter/ # Weaver's Department Store - https://www.weaversdepartmentstore.com # Sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast mailing list - https://www.imayberry.com/mailman/listinfo/twochairspodcast_imayberry.com # iMayberry Community - https://imayberrycommunity.com/ # The Mayberry Historical Society - https://www.mayberry.info/ # The Mayberry Channel on YouTube.com - https://www.youtube.com/user/mayberrycom Two Chairs Merch https://www.teepublic.com/stores/two-chairs-no-waiting?ref_id=15499

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com When did The Andy Griffith Show first come into being? That's the kind of question answered in the book by Randy Turner called "Mayberry Firsts" and we'll learn the answer to that question on this episode. Randy's book if full of fun and interesting information like what you'll hear on Two Chairs No Waiting. If you want more stuff like this, head over to Weaver's Department Store and pick up Randy's book. We hear from several folks who wrote into the podcast with questions this week. One of the questions I don't know an answer to so I'm hopeful someone listening/watching might be able to help. Another bit of feedback comes from an Andy Griffith Show cast persons family member and I think you're really going to enjoy hearing it.. Finally, we play some fun trivia that I hope you get a smile out of playing. == Links == # Mayberry Firsts (WeaversDepartmentStore.com) - https://www.weaversdepartmentstore.com/catalog.php?item=552 # Mayberry Man Movie - https://MayberryMan.com # The Mayberry Effect - https://theMayberryEffect.com # Subscribe to the Weaver's Newsletter - https://weaversdepartmentstore.com/newsletter/subscribe-to-weavers-newsletter/ # Weaver's Department Store - https://www.weaversdepartmentstore.com # Sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast mailing list - https://www.imayberry.com/mailman/listinfo/twochairspodcast_imayberry.com # iMayberry Community - https://imayberrycommunity.com/ # The Mayberry Historical Society - https://www.mayberry.info/ # The Mayberry Channel on YouTube.com - https://www.youtube.com/user/mayberrycom Two Chairs Merch https://www.teepublic.com/stores/two-chairs-no-waiting?ref_id=15499

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com I have been going through the Two Chairs No Waiting archives looking at things I have collected over the years. Photos, flyers, clippings and stories about our friends in Mayberry. I've been collecting these things for a while so it's like finding "new" things. They aren't new but I haven't seen them in 20 or 30 years so they seem new when looking at them now. One that I ran across was a story by Steve Maze from Alabama and his personal encounter with George Lindsey. It was written in 2003 but the encounter happened in 2001. I thought this would be something you would enjoy hearing and reliving along with me. We're gonna play trivia but this time we'll do things a little different than we have been. You have two chances to answer the question. You get 2 points if you can answer without help and 1 point if you have to wait until the multiple choice selection is presented. I thought this would be a fun change of pace. Enjoy the show and let me hear what you think about it. I'd love to hear from you. == Links == # Weaver's Newsletter April 2023 - https://WeaversDepartmentStore.com/newsletter/2023/04/weavers-newsletter-april-2023 # Mayberry Man Movie - https://MayberryMan.com # The Mayberry Effect - https://theMayberryEffect.com # Subscribe to the Weaver's Newsletter - https://weaversdepartmentstore.com/newsletter/subscribe-to-weavers-newsletter/ # Weaver's Department Store - https://www.weaversdepartmentstore.com # Sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast mailing list - https://www.imayberry.com/mailman/listinfo/twochairspodcast_imayberry.com # iMayberry Community - https://imayberrycommunity.com/ # The Mayberry Historical Society - https://www.mayberry.info/ # The Mayberry Channel on YouTube.com - https://www.youtube.com/user/mayberrycom Two Chairs Merch https://www.teepublic.com/stores/two-chairs-no-waiting?ref_id=15499

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com I know many of you have been missing roving reporter Randy Turner so I thought I'd talk about just some of what he has going one. The focus this week being "The Andy Griffith Show Ambassadors Magazine" publishes by Randy with stories by not only him but out fellow Mayberry fans. It begain back in 2020 and comes out quarterly in a 5 1/2 by 8 1/2 "fanzine" format. If you're looking for a physical bit of Mayberry to hold in your hands, consider subscribing. To give you a taste of what you are missing in the Ambassadors Magazine, we're going to cover an article from the Fall 2020 edition called "Fumble Ball in Mayberry." No, it's not about a drill done at football practice. It's about a form of baseball/softball played with a balled called a "fumble ball" and there's a connection to Mayberry. Dick Villard joins Randy in the creation of this bit of Mayberry trivia you likely have never heard. We'll play some fun Mayberry trivia following the fumble so stick around for all the fun. == Links == # The Andy Griffith Show Ambassadors Program - https://www.facebook.com/TAGSAmbassadorsProgram # The Andy Griffith Show Ambassadors Magazine Back Issues - https://mayberrybooks.com/back-issues/ # Mayberry Event Calendar - https://weaversdepartmentstore.com/newsletter/mayberry-event-calendar/ # Mayberry Man Movie - https://MayberryMan.com # The Mayberry Effect - https://theMayberryEffect.com # Subscribe to the Weaver's Newsletter - https://weaversdepartmentstore.com/newsletter/subscribe-to-weavers-newsletter/ # Weaver's Department Store - https://www.weaversdepartmentstore.com # Sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast mailing list - https://www.imayberry.com/mailman/listinfo/twochairspodcast_imayberry.com # iMayberry Community - https://imayberrycommunity.com/ # The Mayberry Historical Society - https://www.mayberry.info/ # The Mayberry Channel on YouTube.com - https://www.youtube.com/user/mayberrycom Two Chairs Merch https://www.teepublic.com/stores/two-chairs-no-waiting?ref_id=15499

Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast can be found at https://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com This episode we wrap up Col. Tim's from Mayberry Days 2002. The previous parts of this series we saw Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou), Howard Morris (Ernest T. Bass) and Maggie Peterson (Charlene) singing so if you missed that, go back and give those episodes a view or listen. This episode we get to hear James Best (Jim Lindsey) sing...well...not really but it's certainly something fun to see. I featured James and David Browning (The Mayberry Deputy) 15 episodes ago (#712) from Col Tim's 2007. James and David did this routine many times over the years and they are all different, at least slightly, so I know you'll enjoy seeing them have fun together. Finally, we'll have some 'real' singing from "Pink Floyd & the Cutups" with a performance of "There's a Shop in Mayberry." (Lyrics by Lyle Fales) Mayberry Days is always special and you never know what you're going to see. The same can be said about the other Mayberry events where the Mayberry tribute artists have a chance to perform. Try and attend an event. I really believe you'd have fun. We'll wrap up with some trivia.
