TCNW 685: Cody Ray

Two Chairs No Waiting
Two Chairs No Waiting

Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:39:31

In January 2014 I received an e-mail that changed things for me. It was from this weeks guest, Cody Ray DesBiens. At the time he sent the e-mail, he was 19 years old and he said he was a “HUGE Andy Griffith Show fan” who watched episodes every night with his mom. That wasn’t the part that impacted me, though I was glad to hear a fairly young man was a Mayberry fan. What got me was that Cody had been diagnosed with a chronic type of Leukemia in October 2011.

He went through chemo and eventually needed a bone marrow and stem cell transplant. He was in the hospital for a long time and needed something to keep his mind off the pain and sickness. It was then that he came across the YouTube version of this podcast.

The thing that hit me was him saying that Two Chairs No Waiting helped him keep his mind off things. Wow…I was, and am, humbled by that and I’ve been wanting to have him as a quest ever since and FINALLY had a chance just last week.

I know you’re going to enjoy hearing Cody’s story directly from him LIVE from the IHOP.

We’ll hear this weeks installment of “Returning to Mayberry” by SpiritWalker that he’s calling “Chunkin’ Rocks.”

Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:32:32

This past weekend on May 1, 2022, the MeTV series Collectors Call featured the collection owned by Mike Haviland so I thought it fitting to talk about Mike and how well he represented Mayberry during the show. As such, Mike also worked with MeTV to develop several Mayberry related trivia quizzes with Round One being: “How well do you know Sheriff Andy?

We’re going to play that trivia. It’s twenty-five questions related to Sheriff Taylor and I know you’ll enjoy playing along.

This episode we have a new installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring “Hal Smith” part 1 that I know you’ll enjoy so go ahead and press play so we can get the show on the road.

TCNW 681: From Lucy to Mayberry and Beyond

Two Chairs No Waiting
Two Chairs No Waiting

Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:50:39

Granville, TN has an annual Mayberry/I Love Lucy Day and this years was held on April 9th. The special guest for the event was Keith Thibodeaux, the man who played Opie’s friend “Johnny Paul” as well as “Little Ricky” on I Love Lucy. What a wonderful bridge between the two great television classics.

Episode #295 of Two Chairs that featured Keith and I encourage you to give it a listen because while he does go into a bit of his time on The Andy Griffith Show in the presentation he did in Granville, he talked more about it back in episode 295.

In Granville, Keith shared with us all his experience growing up in the entertainment industry. He talks about how he got his job on I Love Lucy and what that was like. His hits on the fun he had working on The Andy Griffith Show and then moves on to how his life after Mayberry played out. His struggles, reaching out to God, redemption, and joy. You will not want to miss a minute.

Finally, we’ll checkout this weeks installment of “Returning to Mayberry” by SpiritWalker called “Car Men to Guitar Men.”

I received a question from a listener that I thought was interesting. It was basically, has knowing more about The Andy Griffith Show changed the way your watch episodes? Do you look for blooper/mistakes in the production? Seams in the walls? Wrinkles in the carpet? Folks appearing/disappearing from the background of scenes?

Does knowing more about how the show was made add to your experience when watching or does it take away from the fun? That’s what we’ll try and find out.

We’ll have a few trivia questions to see if you’re keeping your Mayberry skills sharp.

Finally, we’ll checkout this weeks installment of “Returning to Mayberry” by SpiritWalker that he’s calling “SpiritWatcher Connections 1.”

We have some fun and thought provoking voice mails to go through on this episode from listeners and viewers of Two Chairs No Waiting. I’m calling this episode community feedback because I really believe we have developed a community of people at are involved with one another with the podcast and, of course, the love of The Andy Griffith Show being what drew them together.

It’s really amazing that a show more than sixty years old is still drawing people together to have fun and become a community. Enjoy these questions and observations from fellow fans and consider taking a minute to call in and add your own voice to our community of Mayberry fans. We’d love to hear from you.

We’ll ask a few Mayberry trivia questions for you to have fun with.

And we’ll hear from SpiritWalker with this week’s installment of “Returning to Mayberry” called, “Doomsayer to Fat Mayor.” Say….that rhymes.
