Breaking Mayberry

Have you had all your shots? If not, Andy Griffith will literally hold you down in prison until you're inoculated. That's the lesson we learned when digital strategist and public health planner Briana Morgan stops by the Mayberry Studios to talk with us about The Punisher, saxophone attacks, and inappropriate face-touching.

Be sure to stick around after the closing music for Episode 2 of our Audio Play "Barney's Day Out" starring Erotic Don Knotts!

In this episode, we learn that it's possible to die of second-hand sexual frustration and that entrapment isn't real if you're not dressed as an old lady. Plus, Dan blows the opportunity of a lifetime and Marty is humiliated by a grown man dressed as an 80s cartoon character.

It's Season 2, Episodes 27 and 28 - "Three's a Crowd" and "The Bookie Barber"

Marty and Dan are filmed before a live studio audience.

As Part of the Philadelphia Podcast Festival, the Mayberry boys break from tradition and take a walk through history as we cover the evolving concept of the TV Dad.

We're back from an unexpectedly long break to "check in" to an Andy and Barney wacky caper. Marty and Dan stumble upon the dumbest pulp novel premise imaginable and refuse to let it go. Then, our attention spans wander during an absolute dog turd of an episode, the premise of which is "you know how some guys suck to be around? Well, let's be around them. Okay."

It's Season 2, Episodes 25 and 26 - "Andy and Barney in the Big City" and "Wedding Bells For Aunt Bee"

It's a pair of BARNBURNER episodes (but not literally, that was a few episodes ago) as Marty and Dan lose their absolute minds at the prospect of two good episodes in a row. The Andy Griffith show explores the lighter side of prison labor and Andy and Barney invent the concept of a pop-up shop in order to mess with a shitty old man.

It's Season 2, Episode 22 and 23 - "The Merchant of Mayberry" and "Aunt Bee The Warden!"

Marty and Dan continue to plow through Season 2 with a double-header which seeks to cost them their sanity. First, the Mayberry boys are bored to the point of screaming by "A Medal For Opie", the Andy Griffith Show's ode to good sportsmanship and bad writing. Second, Barney actually tries to have sympathy for a criminal, and the show laughs in his face at the idea of rehabilitation.

The Mayberry boys are joined by internet legend Grant from Sex Archie, History Honeys, and Let's Play with Chip and Ironicus for yet another weirdly dark trek into Andy Griffith territory. Marty discovers some famous Mormons, Dan has a solid horror movie pitch, and Andy would rather disqualify the hard work of the town choir rather than have a slightly embarrassing conversation with his best friend.

It's Season 2, Episode 20 - "Barney and the Choir!"

Marty and Dan come across an episode which fits the basic threshold of decent writing, and it is an oasis for them. Dan meets some Luchadors, Marty has his mind blown by a dry cleaner, and Barney Fife actually does something kind of badass. It's Season 2, Episode 18 - "Jailbreak!"

It's an extremely frustrating and superstitious episode wherein Marty gets into an altercation with his mailman, Dan channels Alex Jones, and in Mayberry, Barney and Floyd drive a man to the brink of suicide but then make it all better with a free TV.

It's Season 2, Episode 17 "The Jinx"

It's our mid-season decompression episode and we got a special guest who actually knows what they're talking about. Gabe Bullard from The Bitter Southerner joins us to talk bout the history of rural comedy and the lasting effects of the Corncob County era of TV. We're talking Hee Haw, King of the Hill, and the dogwhistle-racist origins of The Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Oh yeah, and there's some Andy Griffith talk in our Andy Griffith podcast.
