Breaking Mayberry

Welcome to our mid-season break, kinda. We're spending half the episode discussing a truly bizarre news piece about Mt. Airy, NC, and then the other half talking about an episode I've already forgotten. Also we go in hard on those punks at NPR. About time someone put them in their place.

Dating and relationship expert Harris "Dr. Nerdlove" O'Malley stops by to watch this awful My-Fair-Lady-pastiche redeeming one of Mayberry's most unredeemable characters - Ernest T. Bass.

Marty asks important questions, Harris tries to answer them, and Dan explains why the Vietnam war was a great time to be an old dirtbag.

Okay, yeah, we've seen enough here, John Whedon suuuuuuuuuccccckkks. And also, surprise surprise, isn't a very good writer! As in, can't write in character and can't stay consistent for an entire episode! We hate him! He's the worst!

Also in this episode: Marty is comically mistaken for someone else (again), Dan explains AG's descent into authority-loving, and Sheriff Andy Taylor makes a man fully homeless for... basically no reason! This show is full of sociopaths!

Honestly, for a show hosted by two dudes, we really don't make that many dick jokes, right? Well, that's gonna change!

But beyond the ball jokes, we're also talking about Season 04, Episode 05, "Barney's Side Car" which is one of the most ridiculously militaristic/fascist scenes ever put to television, to the point where it accidentally becomes a good abolitionist argument. Things gets wild in this one, we won't lie.

Pretty sure Sheriff Andy Taylor doesn't actually even like his kid and literally doesn't care if his son knows he's alive. It's a pair of absolutely demented episodes this week, where we encounter a mine rescue that could only have gone worse if Elon Musk had been alive, and learn that Andy can be a great Dad... to other children.

Also, Dan reaches out into the paranormal, Marty makes life moves, and we bring back everyone's favorite and most accessible bit - Writing Critic Batman!

This episode of Andy Griffith is like a shitty version of The Ring: It doesn't kill you if you watch it, it just makes you a slightly worse person.

Grant from Chip & Ironicus (and other things) stops by to stare into a half-hour of pure evit with us. Tune in!

An important change in Marty's relationship status re: birds, a cunning plan to raise aquarium attendance, and yet another baffling Andy Griffith show moral await you as we take on Season 4, Episode 11, "Citizen's Arrest!"

Funnyman and story guy Neil P. Bardhan stops by to talk about report cards and online dating. In Season 4, Episode 8, some bullshit happens with Opie's grades and we all get a lesson in how your loved ones can often overlook clear signs of depression! Fun shit!

We finally did it, we finally went full Marxist on the Andy Griffith Show. We didn't MEAN to do it but it was bound to happen eventually. Also in this episode, Marty is an unwilling participant in childhood trauma, and everyone sadly waves to a bunch of money.
