If you know of characters or actors that I miss, please let me know Mayberry trivia expert, Paul Mulik, called in with his information about veterans so we’ll hear from him first and we to close the show we’ll hear from him again in the form or trivia question.

TCNW 861: Say Uncle Trivia
Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:34:05 This episode will focus on trivia provided by listener/viewer of the podcast, Paul Mulik. Paul provides trivia for us here on Two Chairs quite often and we normally play a few questions each week. Since next week will be our “Spooky Time of the Year” episode and there won’t be any trivia, I thought we’d double down and do an entire group of trivia questions on this episode. These likely won’t be all that easy so get out your thinking caps and lets see how many we can answer. A listener wrote in with a question about “Central High” that I have an opinion on but don’t have a “for certain” answer. If you do, I’d love to hear from you. We have a few voice messages to go through as well so this should be a fun episode. Sign up for the Two Chairs E-mail Mailing List Don’t forget to .

TCNW 855: Letter to Opie
Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:30:00 During the Mayberry Meetup 2025, attendee Julie Sipe was inspired by the events and the things she was experiencing to sit down and write a letter to Opie. She wrote it as if Opie were a real person who had been among those who had impacted her life in positive ways. She told of lessons she had learned from watching Opie and his dad deal with bullies and spoiled kids, help a friend that perhaps didn’t have as good a life as she might have, love their neighbor as themselves, take responsibility and stand on their own two legs, and so many impacts in her life. On Sunday morning of the Meetup, we gathered for a Mayberry Bible study lesson and as part of it she shared this “Letter to Opie” with those able to attend. It was touching and I reached out to see if she were share it with all of us here on the podcast. Thank you, Julie, for being willing to share this wonderful piece of yourself with your Mayberry family. I think I can safely say that what you’re going to hear will ring true with the vast majority of fans. To round things out, we’ll have some fun trying to answer a few Mayberry trivia questions.

Given the job of Keeper of the Flame, Opie is fingered as the guilty party when the barn that the club meets in burns to the ground. The fire was actually started by the barn’s owner, farmer and moonshiner Jubal Foster. Not knowing this, Andy takes responsibility for the fire and is about to pay Foster for the value of the barn when Barney, having stumbled upon and unknowingly consumed some of Foster’s moonshine, staggers out drunk. We’ll review some notes and “Odd Facts Known by Few” related to the episode Keeper of the Flame. We’ll go over the answers to the trivia questions.

TCNW 851: If I Met Andy

TCNW 851: If I Met Andy
Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:27:58 I’ve been going through old files on my computer and came across a poem by a person with the username “Al Becker” from 2001. This poem really makes you think about what it would be like to meet not only Andy but many of the cast members from The Andy Griffith Show. What would your say to them? How would you feel when you met them? I’ve been lucky to have met so many of our friends from Mayberry and I can say this poem helps me to remember those wonderful times. I also ran across some video from 1999 that I’ve shown here on Two Chairs way back in April 2012. I thought it might be worth sharing again. Andy Griffith appeared for the first time on the Grand Ole Opry back on November 13, 1999. Andy was there to present fellow Tar Heel Earl Scruggs with a North Carolina Hall of Fame award. When Andy joined Earl on stage and he received an extended standing ovation. Here even said, “I ‘preciate it” and then told a barbershop joke that George Lindsey had first shared with him years ago. Then Andy, with Earl and company backing him (and playing a guitar he used on The Andy Griffith Show) played and sang “Whoa Mule,” (also called “Flop Eared Mule”). Andy had performed that song with the Country Boys on The Andy Griffith Show episode “Mayberry on Record.” Enjoy the memory We’ll do a few trivia questions as well.

Tim’s Talent Time that occurred during Mayberry Days 2021. We’ll watch, or listen to, the Mayberry Founders Day Pageant featuring many of our Mayberry tributes. This is performed on the Andy Griffith Playhouse stage where a school age Andy also once performed. The host for the pageant is Floyd the barber.

That’s just a short list and much more can be found online and in books about this amazing man.

TCNW 847: 23rd Psalm by Barney
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, “” 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
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
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.
