On a recent trip to TAGSRWC HQ in Nashville, I was presented a tub full of articles, papers, stories, and more. As I was going though the papers, I found a great story from 1994 sent into TAGSRWC HQ by The Mayberry Texans chapter. It was about Pilot Mountain, or as Mayberry fans know it best, Pilot Mountain, N.C.

This history lesson for both the fictional Mt. Pilot and the actual Pilot Mountain is something I believe fans will enjoy.

This being Independence Day week here in the U.S.A., I did a little research on characters and actors from The Andy Griffith Show to try and determine those that had served in the military. I realize that July 4th is not really about honoring our military but I figure there’s never a bad time to do so. I’ll present what I learned and ask for all of you to help me crowdsource information on cast and crew to develop a more complete list that we can publish on the Mayberry.info site.

We’ll go over some fun trivia questions as well.

The Pickle Story was the 43rd episode filmed and the 43rd aired of The Andy Griffith Show. (S2.E11)

We’ll play Mayberry trivia all about The Pickle Story.

Plot Summary The Pickle Story:

It’s canning time again, and Aunt Bee has put up another batch of pickles. After realizing the only thing they’re good for is killing flies brave enough to land on them, Andy and Barney decide to substitute store-bought for her homemade and hand out the originals to travelers passing through Mayberry. After the switch, Bee decides to enter her pickles in the county fair. Unfortunately, the perennial winner is Clara Johnson, Bee’s best friend, and she has her heart set on winning her 12th blue ribbon in a row. Andy and Barney have no choice but to get rid of all eight jars before she can enter, so they eat night and day until all the pickles are gone. They do their work proudly, but Bee decides that since the boys liked them so much, she will make a double batch.

We’ll review some notes and “Odd Facts Known by Few” related to the episode The Pickle Story.

We’ll go over the answers to the trivia questions.

This week we have several fun things to talk about some of which comes from the May 2025 edition of the Weaver’s Newsletter. We hit some highlights from the newsletter and then hear from some of you with voicemail and written comments.

I talk a bit about the upcoming Mayberry Meetup in Mt. Airy, N.C. and encourage folks to attend an event near you. Meeting fellow fans is almost as special as meeting cast members so I don’t want you to miss out on either.

Then we’ll play some trivia from MeTV.com hitting on the topic of last week’s podcast, The Clubmen.

The Clubmen was the 42nd episode filmed and the 42nd aired of The Andy Griffith Show. (S2.E10)

We’ll play Mayberry trivia all about The Clubmen.

Plot Summary The Clubmen:

One of Andy’s big-city fishing buddies invites him to join the Esquire Club, an exclusive Raleigh men’s organization. Barney is also asked to join and he, of course, overreacts and alienates the entire group by trying too hard to fit in. Andy is offered membership, but Barney is not. 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.

Then we’ll play some trivia provided by Paul Mulik and focused on cousins.
