Happy 15th birthday to Two Chairs No Waiting.

On October 11, 2008 the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast had it’s very first episode published to the world. Back in those days, most people didn’t have high-speed internet so I did my best to keep episode length short and therefore the file size small. That first episode was only 12 minutes 11 seconds long and the file was less than 6 Megs. For reference, episode 755 was over 42 minutes long with a file size of almost 30 Megs.

Some other things that happened in October 2008:
Oct 7 Music, podcast, and video streaming service Spotify is launched
Oct 22 Google Play is launched, the official app store for the Android operating system

There was no video version of the first episode, thank goodness, because I recorded it in my bedroom wearing an USB headphone/microphone that made noises if I moved my head and picked up every sound in the house. The first “live stream” of the podcast didn’t happen until episode 64 in very late December of 2009, over a year after the podcast began.

That first video stream was not great. Those who attended couldn’t hear the music I play to start and end episode nor could they see anything other that a bad quality version of me. I worked to improve things for the video so I skipped a week and by episode 66 those who attended could at least see and hear things though the video quality was still bad. By episode 67, I had vey much improved the video quality and the “live stream” became watchable.

By episode 72 I had upgraded the microphone to the one I currently use and both audio and video quality got us to an acceptable level. Other improvements have been done to the camera, lighting, software and computers over the years and hopefully the host has also improved.

We finish up with some Mayberry trivia. It’s a BIG day!

Thank you to the folks that attended the Mayberry Meet-up 2023 for your support of the podcast!

Saturday October 11, 2008 was date the very first episode of the Two Chairs No Waiting was published on the internet. Since that date I, along with guest reporters like Randy Turner, have created 11 days, 3 hours, 12 minutes, and 15 seconds of Two Chairs No Waiting content for Mayberry fans to enjoy. By the way, those are 24 hour days so it’s enough to listen to for week and four days before you have to start over.

We’re going to hear from some of you by voice mail this week and one of those mentions that he recently started listening to the podcast from the beginning and he’s up to the 400’s. Whew….

We’ll also talk about the appearance by Rik Roberts and myself this past weekend on Governor Mike Huckabee’s show on TBN. We were there to spread the work about the Mayberry Man movie and I think we did pretty well. A link to the official YouTube video of our segment will be in the show notes so if you missed it, you can still check it out.

We’ll play a little Mayberry trivia and then head over to hear from Randy.

This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring “James Seay” Part 2.

We’re continuing to celebrate the 60 years of The Andy Griffith Show following the October 3rd anniversary. This week we’re going to talk about Nashville, TN and it’s contribution to keeping Mayberry alive for all these years.

As part of that, we have to talk about the fellow who has kept The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club healthy and moving forward since the fall of 1979 when TAGSRWC was established, Jim Clark. As “Presiding Goober Emeritus”, that ’emeritus’ part of his title had slipped by my notice until not too long ago, Jim has had a hand in pretty much every Mayberry endeavor since that humble beginning of TAGSRWC.

This article by Joe Rogers (founder of the “Otis Campbell” chapter) ran in “The Nashville Ledge” on September 18, 2020.

Bonus: This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring part 3 of his review of “No Time for Sergeants.”

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.

Bonus: This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring part 2 of his review of “No Time for Sergeants.”

On episode #103 of Two Chairs (Andy Griffith Statue Part 4) a young man called into the show with a voice mail about meeting Andy Griffith (about the 8 minute mark) to help us celebrate the 50th Anniversary of The Andy Griffith Show. The young fellows name is Trey Miller. Ten years later, on the 60th Anniversary of The Andy Griffith Show (October 3, 2020), Trey created a special episode of his video blog called “Globetrotting with Trey” sharing the same experience but with more detail.

I contacted Trey to see if I could share his story with you. I think you’ll be, just like me, imagining being right there with Trey as he meets Andy and share his excitement in meeting “the man himself.” It’s an event he’ll never forget and one I’ve never forgotten since hearing that story 10 years ago.

Bonus: This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring “No Time for Sergeants.”
