August 29, 2019 11:05 - 1 hour - 73.1 MBMarty and Dan build a pretty airtight case for the impeachment of Sheriff Andy Taylor, but the show proceeds to Pelosi the hell out of our report.

42: Best Western, Hotel Detective
July 24, 2019 11:30 - 1 hour - 70.3 MBWe're back from an unexpectedly long break to "check in" to an Andy and Barney wacky caper. Marty and Dan stumble upon the dumbest pulp novel premise imaginable and refuse to let it go. Then, our attention spans wander during an absolute dog turd of an episode, the premise of which is "you know how some guys suck to be around? Well, let's be around them. Okay." It's Season 2, Episodes 25 and 26 - "Andy and Barney in the Big City" and "Wedding Bells For Aunt Bee"
41: Aunt Bee's Human Rights Abuses
June 26, 2019 09:25 - 1 hour - 88.8 MBIt's a pair of BARNBURNER episodes (but not literally, that was a few episodes ago) as Marty and Dan lose their absolute minds at the prospect of two good episodes in a row. The Andy Griffith show explores the lighter side of prison labor and Andy and Barney invent the concept of a pop-up shop in order to mess with a shitty old man. It's Season 2, Episode 22 and 23 - "The Merchant of Mayberry" and "Aunt Bee The Warden!" Check out Marty and Dan LIVE at Pancakes and Podcasts: https://attendin...
40: The Bayous of Mayberry County
June 12, 2019 14:31 - 1 hour - 63.1 MBMarty and Dan continue to plow through Season 2 with a double-header which seeks to cost them their sanity. First, the Mayberry boys are bored to the point of screaming by "A Medal For Opie", the Andy Griffith Show's ode to good sportsmanship and bad writing. Second, Barney actually tries to have sympathy for a criminal, and the show laughs in his face at the idea of rehabilitation.

39: No Gods, No Masters, No Choir Directors
May 29, 2019 10:30 - 1 hour - 75.3 MBThe Mayberry boys are joined by internet legend Grant from Sex Archie, History Honeys, and Let's Play with Chip and Ironicus for yet another weirdly dark trek into Andy Griffith territory. Marty discovers some famous Mormons, Dan has a solid horror movie pitch, and Andy would rather disqualify the hard work of the town choir rather than have a slightly embarrassing conversation with his best friend. It's Season 2, Episode 20 - "Barney and the Choir!" Links to Grant's many, MANY, projects ca...
38: Your Mother Is A Chicken Thief!
May 15, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 59.4 MBMarty and Dan come across an episode which fits the basic threshold of decent writing, and it is an oasis for them. Dan meets some Luchadors, Marty has his mind blown by a dry cleaner, and Barney Fife actually does something kind of badass. It's Season 2, Episode 18 - "Jailbreak!"

37: Static Is Stealing Your Rays You Need For Fishing
April 29, 2019 14:30 - 1 hour - 57 MBIt's an extremely frustrating and superstitious episode wherein Marty gets into an altercation with his mailman, Dan channels Alex Jones, and in Mayberry, Barney and Floyd drive a man to the brink of suicide but then make it all better with a free TV.

36: Grappling With Jeff Foxworthy
April 23, 2019 15:42 - 1 hour - 77.4 MBIt's our mid-season decompression episode and we got a special guest who actually knows what they're talking about. Gabe Bullard from The Bitter Southerner joins us to talk bout the history of rural comedy and the lasting effects of the Corncob County era of TV. We're talking Hee Haw, King of the Hill, and the dogwhistle-racist origins of The Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Oh yeah, and there's some Andy Griffith talk in our Andy Griffith podcast.

35: The Mayor Dies In This One And Dan Does Not Take It Well
April 09, 2019 11:40 - 1 hour - 84.6 MBI mean, the main theme of this episode is pretty much in the title, but if you want to know more, Marty and Dan stumble upon a potential real-life murder-mystery conspiracy, we meet Dr. David Banner, and Barbara Eden gets Mayberry so horny that the mayor fucking dies. It's a double-header of Season 02 Episode 15 and 16 - "Bailey's Bad Boy" and "The Manicurist" Music by Max Ludwig: twitter.com/sleeptalky End Music: "Appalachian Coal Mines" by AskAgain: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Ask%2...
34: Where Else Are We Gonna Find A Pile Of Old Dirty Hay?
March 27, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 82.1 MBIt's a double header as we take on some of the grossest and the dumbest episodes down the pike of Season 2. First, Opie may or may not have burned down a barn, and Dan doesn't know how farms work in S02EP14 - "Keeper of the Flame." Then, we get a special guest star in the next episode - a giant stupid asshole who thinks women are property! hooray! It's "The Farmer Takes A Wife!" Season 2, baby!
33: In the Pocket of Big Pickle
March 18, 2019 14:39 - 58 minutes - 53.1 MBIT'S PICKLE TIME! Marty and Dan call in a fermentation expert (Amanda Feifer of http://phickle.com/) to talk pickles to us, as we take on AG Season 2, Episode 11 - The Pickle Story. Learn about the miracles of botulism, listen to us do pickle-chewing ASMR, and find out how Andy Griffith is a shill for the corporate pickling industry. More importantly, buy Amanda's book!

March 11, 2019 19:46 - 1 hour - 58.4 MBThis episode explains why job interviews exist, as Barney gets offered a job as sheriff of a neighboring town, and Andy does his damnedest to keep his friend from having a fulfilling career. Marty and Dan stumble on some conspiracies, debate chicken depression, and decide how much Andy Griffith had to do with the Kennedy assassination.

February 05, 2019 17:00 - 49 minutes - 45.7 MBAllright, this is probably our most immature episode so far, but we had some steam to blow off, and this fruit was low-hanging. This episode is about an old woman who hooks up with travelling drifters, I don't know how else to break it to you, there it is though. Marty and Dan respond about as well as can be expected.

23: Barney's Secret Hole
November 12, 2018 15:50 - 1 hour - 74 MBCome on down to Barney's Secret Hole, a magical place special to Barney. Is it a hole that only Barney knows about, or is it a hole where Barney's secrets are kept? No one knows, I guess. That's why it's a secret hole. Marty and Dan try to survive election night by plowing through episodes 2 and 3 of AG Season 2. First, in "Barney's Replacement", Barney resigns from the Mayberry PD, a move that may have had more impact if we hadn't seen him do it like 15 times already. Then, in "Andy and the...

20: Rock N Roll Rosie From Raleigh
August 27, 2018 15:00 - 1 hour - 61.4 MBIt's an ACTUAL sequel, not one we screamed into existence! When Jim Lindsey, the famous guitar player from episode 2 of our podcast returns to Mayberry, Marty and Dan have a great realization: We absolutely hate Jim Lindsey. Also, the boys have to say good-bye to their true love, Elinor Donahue, as she leaves the Andy Griffith Show never to be mentioned again. Next, Marty and Dan take on Episode 32, "Bringing Up Opie", an episode so dull that I don't even have the energy to finish this.
