Part 1 was last episode and in part 2 Dennis talks more about Mayberry and discusses how his time as a child actor wrapped up. There are questions from the Mayberry cruisers who attended the interview as well. If you didn&#039;t know, Mayberry lost a wonderful man on May 9, 2026. Dennis Rush, who played Opie&#039;s friend Howie in eight episodes over a two and a half year period. Dennis began coming to Mayberry Days, and other Mayberry events in 2018 and had become much loved by fans. His joy and love for his time on The Andy Griffith Show and at discovering how much fans remembered his appearances on the show was heartwarming. Dennis has been featured here on the podcast in an one-on-one interview (TCNW #777) and again along with fellow castmate Keith Thibodeaux, Johnny Paul, (TCNW# 839) but he has so many amazing stories of his career that I wanted to make sure you heard. In part 1, Dennis talked mostly about his early career and a portion of his time on The Andy Griffith Show so go back and give it a listen if you missed it. Don&#039;t miss either portion of this interview. I would suggest that you go back and listen to\/watch his past interviews as well. Some things are revisited but his story telling was second to none. He was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. == Links == Two Chairs Merch https:\/\/www.teepublic.com\/stores\/two-chairs-no-waiting?ref_id=15499 # TCNW 777: Opie\u2019s Pal Howie \u2013 An Interview with Dennis Rush - https:\/\/imayberry.com\/podcasts\/2024\/03\/tcnw-777-opies-pal-howie-an-interview-with-dennis-rush\/ # TCNW 839: Keith Thibodeaux and Dennis Rush Interview - https:\/\/imayberry.com\/podcasts\/2025\/05\/tcnw-839-keith-thibodeaux-and-dennis-rush-interview\/ # Event Calendar (iMayberry.com) - https:\/\/weaversdepartmentstore.com\/newsletter\/mayberry-event-calendar\/ # Join this channel to get access to perks (YouTube) - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCm9tLlT-NsH-7k97fZDpNHA\/join # Weaver&#039;s Newsletter - https:\/\/weaversdepartmentstore.com\/newsletter\/ # Subscribe to the Weaver&#039;s Newsletter - https:\/\/weaversdepartmentstore.com\/newsletter\/subscribe-to-weavers-newsletter\/ # Weaver&#039;s Department Store - https:\/\/www.weaversdepartmentstore.com # Mayberry Days website - https:\/\/MayberryDays.org # Mayberry Meet Up (Facebook Group) - https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/117344445573583 # Mayberry Man (YouTube Channel) - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@MayberryMan # Mayberry Man Movie - https:\/\/MayberryMan.com # Watch the Mayberry Man Movie &amp; Series FREE (YouTube) - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLXciS96DNOqO4gle4YrR7bDV9-SSbnTV0 # Mayberry Man Movie (FREE on YouTube) - https:\/\/youtu.be\/a_AwfI9TPY8 # Mayberry Man Movie - Barney &amp; Floyd Audio Commentary (Rik Roberts, Allan Newsome) - https:\/\/youtu.be\/x4kfgzG04_0 # The Mayberry Effect - https:\/\/theMayberryEffect.com # Sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast mailing list - https:\/\/www.imayberry.com\/mailman\/listinfo\/twochairspodcast_imayberry.com # iMayberry Community - https:\/\/imayberrycommunity.com\/ # The Mayberry Historical Society - https:\/\/www.mayberry.info\/ # The Mayberry Channel on YouTube.com - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/mayberrycom ==Video Chapters== 00:00 - Opening 00:12 - Theme Song 00:35 - Welcome 02:40 - Interview 33:07 - Review 35:00 - Weaver&#039;s Department Store 35:20 - Call to Action\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:640px;margin:5px auto;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/oNldWOwLAMY\" target=\"_blank\">Watch this video on YouTube<\/a>.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"cboxdiv\">\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"cboxmain7-482057\" style=\"border: #DBE2ED 1px solid;\" src=\"https:\/\/www7.cbox.ws\/box\/?boxid=482057&amp;boxtag=b97284&amp;sec=main\" name=\"cboxmain7-482057\" width=\"580\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"2\" marginheight=\"2\" scrolling=\"auto\"><span style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">?<\/span><span style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">?<\/span><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"cboxform7-482057\" style=\"border: #DBE2ED 1px solid; border-top: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www7.cbox.ws\/box\/?boxid=482057&amp;boxtag=b97284&amp;sec=form\" name=\"cboxform7-482057\" width=\"580\" height=\"91\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"2\" marginheight=\"2\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border-width: 0pt;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/calendar\/embed?showNav=0&amp;showDate=0&amp;showPrint=0&amp;showTabs=0&amp;showCalendars=0&amp;mode=AGENDA&amp;height=220&amp;wkst=1&amp;bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&amp;src=cmie8dei15db014r5a8leankvg%40group.calendar.google.com&amp;color=%23113F47&amp;ctz=America%2FChicago\" width=\"580\" height=\"220\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"overflow: hidden; width: 580px; height: 300px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/likebox.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ftwochairs&amp;width=580&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;connections=20&amp;stream=false&amp;header=true&amp;height=300\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><span style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">?<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>??
