Two Chairs No Waiting Andy Griffith Show Fan Podcast

Two Chairs No Waiting Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:50:36 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. httpv://youtu.be/qOMH_jrRmVQ Sign up for the Two Chairs E-mail Mailing List Don't forget to sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting e-mail mailing list.&nbsp; I want to be able to reach out to you if there's a problem with the website and the best way to do that is by using a mailing list.&nbsp; Don't worry, I won't be filling your mailbox with e-mail but I would like to have a way to say "hey" if the need arises.

(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. httpv://youtu.be/JRIcVM6UhNA Sign up for the Two Chairs E-mail Mailing List Don't forget to sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting e-mail mailing list.&nbsp; I want to be able to reach out to you if there's a problem with the website and the best way to do that is by using a mailing list.&nbsp; Don't worry, I won't be filling your mailbox with e-mail but I would like to have a way to say "hey" if the need arises.
