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.

TCNW 828: Needles and Pins
Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:34:38 We have a YouTube comment last week that I attempted to address but I wasn’t happy with the answer. So, I researched what “needles” and “pins” meant in the episode “” (S2.E18) meant Clarence “Doc” Malloy (Allan Melvin) and Barney exited the cell and both say “So far, so good” at the same time. Barney, forcing Malloy to lock pinkie fingers with him, says “needles” while Malloy says “pins.” What does that mean? I found the answer in the book Inside Mayberry by Harrison & Habeeb (1994) and went on to find the original source so if little things like this bother you, I have your answer. A couple of folks called us this week so we’ll hear from them. Then we’ll play Mayberry trivia base on the topic “Car trouble” submitted by Paul Mulik.

TCNW 818: Mayberry Christmas to all 2024 Part 2
Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:16:35 This episode will be shorter than usual as I know we all have busy schedules around Christmas. I have a couple of special treats for you from my friend and fellow Mayberry fan, . Russell is a and motivational speaker known for his Christian and inspirational books, which often incorporate Southern humor. His writing is a blend personal storytelling with inspirational themes and faith-based lessons. He often incorporates The Andy Griffith Show into his stories. Russell has attended the Mayberry Comes to Scottsburg held in Scottsburg, Ind. Inspired by that event, he wrote a song called “A Mayberry Smile.” He used artificial intelligence (AI) to both play the music and sing the lyrics he had written. During the holidays, Russell caught the bug again and put pen to paper writing “A Mayberry Christmas.” Again, using AI (because he says that “like ol’ Barn, I’m a good guy…but I can’t sing“) he created a real treat for all of the Mayberry family. This episode we’ll be treated to both these wonderful creations by Russell. If you enjoy them, check out his books and Facebook page. We also have a special Christmas voicemail from Dennis Rush who played Opie’s friend “Howey” on several episodes of The Andy Griffith Show.

TCNW 817: Mayberry Christmas to all 2024
Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:54:13 It’s Christmas time once again here in Mayberry so it is time for the annual Christmas episode. The Andy Griffith Show had only one episode centered around any holiday and that holiday was Christmas. Fans have watched that episode time and again as Ben Weaver tries to get himself arrested so he can spend Christmas in jail with the Taylor’s, the Muggins’, and Miss Ellie. It always speaks to our hearts when we see Ben singing outside that courthouse cell window. Since the podcast began, Two Chairs has tried to bring back that warm feeling as we go through Mayberry related memories of Christmas time. We also try to make a new memory or two in the process. We have a special guest back again this year from over in Dodge City. His name is Festus Haggen and he has a really good story to tell about Santa. There’s a story called “The Fife Before Christmas” by my friend Rik Roberts who played “Barney” to my “Floyd” in the Mayberry Man movie and Mayberry Man series. We have a favorite of mine by Charlie Monk called “Andy and Opie Christmas” that brings back memories of a small town Christmas that sure reminds me of Mayberry. We hear from Elinor Donahue about recording “Away in a Manger” with Andy then we hear her sing just that. For a bit more Christmas music, I’ll play my 2022 Mayberry Christmas card featuring images from Mayberry Man the Series. And, if you stick around till the end, we’ll have Miss Ellie and Andy sing an encore of “Away in a Manger.” God bless you and I hope you have a very merry Christmas.

TCNW 814: Mayberry Days Trivia Championship 2024 Round 1
Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:32:58 This episode we’ll play Round 1 of the Mayberry Days Trivia Championship 2024. Ten questions with each being worth 100 points. Incorrect answers are worth negative 100 points. Keep up with your score and remember to remove 100 points for any missed answers. I suggest you don’t guess to avoid the negative points. Next week we’ll play Round 2 (worth 200 points each) is nine questions plus the “Final Mayberry Question.” Incorrect answers in Round 2 will be worth negative 200 points. Guessing really hurts your score so keep that in mind. Then we’ll hear from a couple of our listeners and get a correction from Paul Mulik. To close out, we’ll play some fairly easy Mayberry trivia to build back up your confidence. Sign up for the Two Chairs E-mail Mailing List Don’t forget to .
