What great memories I have from Mayberry Days 2020. It was the 31st Mayberry Days held on the 30th anniversary of the first Mayberry Days and just a week before the 60th Anniversary of The Andy Griffith Show. While the attendance for 2020 was not what it normally is because of the Covid-19 issues, it was a welcome time of normalcy in what has been an unusual year. In this episode we’ll work through the Qualifying Round questions and answers of the 2020 World Championship of Mayberry Trivia.
The qualifying round is just to qualify for the Finals of Mayberry trivia. If you qualify, you end up facing past Mayberry Days Trivia champions and other qualifiers from this round and the “kids” trivia winners.
The Grand Champion of Mayberry Trivia for 2020 was, for the 5th time in a row, Jim Sherrill. Jim has been the champion in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and now in 2020. He deserves a lot of credit for his education and the speed of his buzzer finger. We’ll go though the questions from the finals in a future episode.
This episode also marks the start of year 12 +1 of Two Chairs….I’m just being cautious.

Here we are at our 600th episode of Two Chairs No Waiting. This BIG event is happening right after a month of filming the Mayberry Man movie & Mayberry Days 2020 and just days before the October 3rd celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the premier of The Andy Griffith Show! What a wonderful time to be a fan of Mayberry!
This episode we celebrate the podcast just a little then move on to reporting a bit about the Mayberry Man movie filming experience (more to come latter on that) then we have a report from Lydia…err…Ol’ Barney…about this years Mayberry Days experience.
I have had a wonderful several weeks as a fan of The Andy Griffith Show and you’ll be hearing more about it as time goes on.
As a bonus, we have an original parody song for you to enjoy at the end of the episode instead of our usual “This Week in Mayberry History” report. I thought it was fitting to give Randy Turner time off for the entire month of September so he’ll be well rested heading into the end of the year.

We had some really great memories from Mayberry Days 2019, the 30th Mayberry Days, on last weeks podcast but there is so much that goes on during the event we’ll be talking about it off and one for months. This episode we’ll visit the Qualifying Round of the 2019 World Championship of Mayberry Trivia.
This round of the trivia is just to qualify for the Finals of Mayberry trivia. If you qualify, you end up facing past Mayberry Days Trivia champions and other qualifiers from this round and the “kids” trivia winner.
The Grand Champion of Mayberry Trivia for 2019 was Jim Sherrill. Jim is a 4 time repeat champion (2016, 2017, 2018, & 2019) and deserves a lot of credit for his education. 2nd place went to Pat Bullins and 3rd to Dennis Beal who are both past champions and deserve a shot out as well.

Mayberry Days 2019 has come and gone but the memories will never fade. What an amazing several days spend in Mount Airy, NC which becomes Mayberry for the span of Mayberry Days. Fans walking the street are able to meet characters straight out of Mayberry to have photos taken, share lines from the show, a laugh and a smile.
We’ll hear reports from several who attended this years event through voice messages and written remembrances of the weekend that was. I hope you get just an inkling of the joy that Mayberry Days brings to my heart and are inspired to attend in the future.

Mayberry Days 2019 is fast approaching and The Andy Griffith Show is everywhere. This past week TAGSRWC’s own Neal Brower appeared on “Talk of the Town” aired on C19TV. Talk of the Town is original programming produced by Cleveland Community College in Shelby, NC and airing on Cleveland County NC Spectrum Cable Channel 19.
Neal contacted Two Chairs No Waiting HQ because he thought I might enjoy watching the episode and boy was he right. During the interview, Neal talked about much more that Mayberry Days. Neal always has great information about The Andy Griffith Show and this interview was no exception.
The interview was so good that you host jumped into action and contacted C19TV to ask permission to rebroadcast the segment with Professor Brower and they were kind enough to grant the request.
I know you’re going to enjoy hearing the interviewer Steve Putnam and Neal talking Mayberry.

You may know that Mayor Pike had a daughter but did you realize they were twins? In recent research of episodes I realized that it is possible that Mayberry’s own Mayor Pike had twin girls PLUS he has a 3rd daughter that I don’t believe we ever met during an episode.
Looking into this also lead to my researching of one of the two episodes containing the girls I’m calling the Pike twins. In the first of those episodes, Mayberry Goes Hollywood, the town folk were planning to cut down the old oak tree. Mr. Harmon asked the Mayor why they were cutting it down and he said it was full of “twig girdlers.” What is a “twig girdler?” You’ll find out.

There is a fun magazine for any fan of The Andy Griffith Show called, fittingly, Mayberry Magazine. This edition of the podcast was inspired by an article in the September 2019 issue of Mayberry Magazine called “Mayberry Olympics?”
Writer John Peters drew my attention to several things that happen at Mayberry Days that I’ve never talked about here on the podcast so I thought I’d share some of them with you. If you’d like to subscribe to “Mayberry Magazine” and get 8 issues delivered to you mailbox, you’ll have to call them at (336)786-4141 and they’ll help you out.
