We go back to the 80s-restaurant-of-debatable-quality of "It's A Living" with Max Ludwig. This time around we explore a few episodes with Andy Griffith ties, including one where a group of grown adult women dress as children's fairy-tale characters in a way that's not at all creepy! Also Marty absorbs so much content it breaks him.

It's "It's a Living" Season 3, Episode 14 "The Doctor Danny Show" and Season 5 Episode 4 "Sweet Charity"

Filmmaker and author David Dylan Thomas stops by the Mayberry studios to talk about 2024's I Saw The TV Glow, a movie that's about the horrors and freedoms of nostalgia but also about trans/queer stuff and also maybe about a short-lived McDonald's Ad Campaign.

Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone...

Barney Fife is gone and in his place arises a great evil, so terrible that not even the Andy Griffith Show can tolerate it for very long. Warren Ferguson has arrived, despair all ye mortals.

It's Andy Griffith Show Season 6, episode 5 "The Bazaar" and 6 "A Warning From Warren"

Like Billy Pilgrim, Dan has become unstuck in time. That's why he keeps saying how tired he is after mentioning perfectly normal amounts of time to be awake.

We say good-bye to the weirdest recurring characters, right as we were starting to like them. We also say "hello" to Aunt Bea's new boyfriend, and then we say goodbye just as fast.

It's a very bittersweet turn of events on Season 6, Episode 3 "Malcolm at the Crossroads" and Episode 4 "Aunt Bea the Swinger"

We're back in Mayberry for season 6 and the vibes are OFF for reals. Everyone's really tense and awkward and somehow Goober is the highlight. It's a really low point friends. But on the other hand, Marty gets to use a joke he's been holding onto for a while.

It's Season 6, Episode 1 "Opie's Job" and Episode 2 "Andy's Rival"

Blood Knife Editor and co-host of Podside Picnic, Kurt Schiller drops by to talk about all things mystery with a pair of Poirots! We discuss the ins and outs of a great detective fiction, including bumbling cops and pedantic wealthy people. Plus, what if Jigsaw ran a casual chain restaurant?

It's Agatha Christie's "Poirot", Series 1, episode 5 "Triangle at Rhodes" and Series9, Episode 3, "After the Funeral"

The boys start a new tradition, watching the Thanksgiving episodes of the beloved war dramedy MASH... what's that you say? There aren't any Thanksgiving episodes of MASH?

...

The boys start a new tradition, painfully burrowing their way through a Thanksgiving episode of the much-hated and forgotten spinoff AfterMASH, featuring the worst possible choices all around. Dig in!

The failed Backdoor Pilot from the Six Million Dollar Man asks, what if there was like, a computer in your brain, man? The answer is, it would suck! But also some other weird stuff would be like, way better than that.




Look there's a bunch of weird stuff in this episode, check it out.

Look we didn't want to do this one but circumstances forced our hand. We're talking about the Ron Howard-directed Hillbilly Elegy, a movie that Ron Howard is too stupid to understand is political.

We all know that JD Vance's memoir is bullshit but would it surprise you to know it's also mean-spirited and it sucks ass? It wouldn't, because you listen to this show, but listen to us talk about it anyway.

Marty and Dan go back to Hazard County to revisit the Duke boys and their new, laid-back friend, Jude Emery. We get a narrator of our very own, name as many country singers as possible, and learn too much information about Marty's car.

Special thanks to Grant. You'll see why.
