Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:32:27 We all know about the old Remshaw place and we've heard about Mr. Remshaw but what do we know about the family? This episode we have a guest from Mayberry in studio to tell us what he knows about the Remshaws. He's pieced the family history together over the years from old-timers who still remembered the family and is here to fill us in. We'll also look into other local legends and see if there's anything to them. I hope you'll find these stories fun and that they help get you in the mood for next week's episode featuring spooky stories from around...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:43:20 To give you an idea of what kind of thing might see when attending Col Tim’s during Mayberry Days, we’re going to watch (yes, I think you should watch the YouTube version of this episode rather than just listen) a compilation of video clips from Mount Airy, N.C.’s 2026 edition of Col. Tim’s Talent Time. This is the show that wraps up the Mayberry Days week each year. These clips feature the Mayberry tribute artists recreating moments from the episode “My Fair Ernest T. Bass“.

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:43:20 Mayberry Days 2026 has come and gone but the memories will last in our minds. I always look forward to hearing from attendees and what they experienced during Mayberry Days and that’s what we’ll be doing some of on this episode. Everyone experiences Mayberry Days slightly differently because there are so many things to see and do during the time spent in Mt. Airy, N.C. I requested on a post in the “Floyd’s City Barber Shop” group on Facebook, “If you attended Mayberry Days this year, I would LOVE to hear a personal report about your...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:43:45 Last episode I gave some reasons why, after almost 66 years, are we still watching The Andy Griffith Show? It was a good episode and caused a lot of online conversation. So many of you had good ideas why Mayberry still touches our lives and I wanted to share them. I have several comments that were posted on YouTube, Facebook, emails and by voice mail so let’s hear what you had to say about Why We Keep Coming Back to Mayberry. We have a nice message from a listener about Mayberry Days, too. Then, that same listener sent in some trivia that...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:35:55 We’re going to talk about something that, on the surface, sounds like a pretty simple question. But the more you think about it, the more interesting it becomes. Why? Why, after roughly 65 years, are we still watching The Andy Griffith Show? Why are these episodes still being aired every day? Why can somebody who has seen an episode ten, twenty, or maybe even fifty times sit down and watch it again? Let’s talk this through and see if we can come up with an answer. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter as well so be sure to call...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:34:38 One of Two Chairs most faithful listeners sent in a wonderful report of a trip he and fellow TAGS fan, Codie, took to California to visit locations where The Andy Griffith Show was filmed. Codie provided a report that was published in the r and it’s great we get to hear Mike’s point of view of the trip. Mike and Codie were able to take a trip any fan of The Andy Griffith Show would love to be able to take. Thankfully, these men have taken time to share their experience so that we can travel...

Guest of Honor was the 53rd episode filmed and the 53rd episode aired of The Andy Griffith Show. (S2.E21)
We’ll play Mayberry trivia all about Guest of Honor.
Plot Summary Guest of Honor:
It’s Founder’s Day again, and this time the celebration centers on honoring the first visitor to town with the key to the city. Unfortunately, the first person to drive in is Sheldon Davis, an expert pickpocket and petty thief. When Andy runs a check on him and finds the truth about their “Guest of Honor” he decides not to tell anyone and just keep a close eye on him until the day is over and he can run him out of town. Barney messes everything up and ends up letting him steal the keys to all the business in the city. Andy foils his plan in the end and catches him red-handed.
We’ll review some notes and “Odd Facts Known by Few” related to the episode Guest of Honor.
We’ll go over the answers for the trivia questions and then try a few bits of trivia from Paul Mulik with the topic: MEAT!
