Two Chairs No Waiting

Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:49:02

Welcome to the 900th episode of Two Chairs No Waiting – the podcast where we pull up a chair, sip some iced tea on the front porch, and talk about all things Mayberry.

I’m your host, Allan Newsome – also known around these parts as Floyd the Barber, your friendly neighborhood tribute artist, and a proud resident of the Andy Griffith Show universe.

Can you believe it? Nine hundred episodes! If we were filming in black & white like back in the day, we’d be somewhere around Season 28 by now. (laughs) That’s 32 episodes a year for 900 episodes (28.125)

When I started this little podcast back in October 11, 2008. That’s 17 years, 9 months, and 10 days ago as of the scheduled release date of this episode, I never dreamed I would still be sittin’ here yammerin’ about Goober’s carburetor record (Goober’s 38-minute-12-second carburetor disassembly record), Ernest T. Bass throwin’ rocks through windows, or Opie learnin’ life lessons from Andy. But here we are – 900 episodes strong, thanks to you, the best listeners & viewers in the whole wide world.

This milestone feels like one of those classic Mayberry town moments where everybody shows up to a meetings to celebrate something special. So today, we’re throwing a little party right here on the Internet. There won’t be any fancy speeches – just an expression by me of good ol’ fashioned gratitude and a few reflections from the front porch.

We’ll wrap up this episode with a little Ernest T. Bass trivia courtesy of Paul Mulik. Complete the quote: Ernest T. Bass edition.

TCNW 899: Wedding Bells for Aunt Bee

Two Chairs No Waiting
Two Chairs No Waiting

Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:43:12

Wedding Bells for Aunt Bee was the 58th episode filmed and aired of The Andy Griffith Show. (S2.E26)

We’ll play Mayberry trivia all about “Wedding Bells for Aunt Bee.

Plot Summary Wedding Bells for Aunt Bee:

Aunt Bee’s friend Clara convinces her that she is preventing her widowed nephew Andy from remarrying. Feeling like a burden, Aunt Bee reluctantly begins seeing Mayberry’s dry cleaner, Mr. Fred Goss, who has shown romantic interest in her. She pursues the relationship mainly as a pretense to demonstrate her independence and “free” Andy to find a wife of his own.

Mr. Goss is eager but awkward—he talks incessantly about his dry-cleaning business and has several off-putting habits. This leads to a series of comedic misunderstandings as Aunt Bee struggles to maintain the charade. Andy remains patient and supportive throughout. The episode resolves with gentle reassurance that Aunt Bee’s presence in the home is valued and that she does not need to sacrifice her own happiness for his.
We’ll review some notes and “Odd Facts Known by Few” related to the episode Wedding Bells for Aunt Bee.

We’ll go over the answers for the trivia questions and talk a little about the upcoming Mayberry Meetup event to be held in Mt. Airy, N.C.

This is a special episode, folks.

We’re celebrating the 100th birthday of the man who made it all possible: Mr. Andy Samuel Griffith. Born June 1, 1926, in Mount Airy, North Carolina – the real-life inspiration for our beloved fictional town.

Even though Andy left us in 2012, his spirit, wisdom, and that warm Southern drawl live on in every rerun, every laugh, and every lesson from Sheriff Andy Taylor. Grab a seat on the bench by the courthouse – this one’s gonna be a good ‘un.

Andy Griffith showed us that decency, humor, and common sense can win the day. In a world that sometimes feels complicated, Mayberry reminds us of what’s important: family, friends, fishing, and doing right by your neighbors.

Happy 100th Birthday, Andy! Thanks for the memories.

We’ll close out by doing a little trivia sent in by Two Chairs listener/viewer Hayden Spangler related to Mayberry Music.

This is a Mayberry outsiders review of The Andy Griffith Show community with a focus on the Two Chairs No Waiting podcast as a center point. The insights from those looking into our Mayberry community are interesting and something you’ll enjoy. They aren’t “fans” of the show but are looking at it, and us, in a fun way from the outside looking in.

The deep dive into the sociology and forensic of the Fandom is something fans will learn from. They might get some of the exact facts slightly wrong, since the presenters aren’t big fans, but overall they did a very good job. The report leaves us with a good feeling about how those who aren’t big fans can appreciate the community built about the Two Chairs No Waiting podcast and connected Mayberry websites.

I have a voicemail to share and a photo from a listener so don’t leave before we’re through.ext episode. I know you’re going to enjoy the show and be entertained by the Mayberry fun.

This week we have the conclusion of the stage play we began in the last episode. If you didn’t watch/listen to part 1, I encourage you to go back and do that before you partake of the second half of the play.

Back in September 2015 some of the Mayberry tribute artists traveled to Bellevue Baptist Church near Memphis, TN to perform a play written & directed by David “The Mayberry Deputy” Browning called “Ernest T’s Rock Concert.” I featured the first portion of the play, this segment called 23rd Psalms, that was written by Joe Gritton about a year ago in episode 847 of the podcast.

I’ve resisted showing the entire play because the hope was always that we might be able to perform the play in other locations. After eleven years, I think that hope has been overcome by the reality that we’ll never be able to do it again. It’s a really great show written by David and I’m proud of what was done and I think it’s time to share it with the world.

Ernest T.s’ Rock Concert Starring:

  • David Browning – The Mayberry Deputy
  • Christie McLendon – Andylina Darling Wash
  • Kenneth Junkin – Otis Campbell
  • Allan Newsome – Floyd Lawson
  • Ernest T – as himself

The play will be split into 2 parts with part 2 completing the play on the next episode. I know you’re going to enjoy the show and be entertained by the Mayberry fun.
