  • TCNW 855: Letter to Opie

    TCNW 855: Letter to Opie
    Sep 10 2025
    Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:30:00 During the Mayberry Meetup 2025, attendee Julie Sipe was inspired by the events and the things she was experiencing to sit down and write a letter to Opie. She wrote it as if Opie were a real person who had been among those who had impacted her life in positive ways. She told of lessons she had learned from watching Opie and his dad deal with bullies and spoiled kids, help a friend that perhaps didn’t have as good a life as she might have, love their neighbor as themselves, take responsibility and stand on their own two legs, and so many impacts in her life. On Sunday morning of the Meetup, we gathered for a Mayberry Bible study lesson and as part of it she shared this “Letter to Opie” with those able to attend. It was touching and I reached out to see if she were share it with all of us here on the podcast. Thank you, Julie, for being willing to share this wonderful piece of yourself with your Mayberry family. I think I can safely say that what you’re going to hear will ring true with the vast majority of fans. To round things out, we’ll have some fun trying to answer a few Mayberry trivia questions.

  • TCNW 851: If I Met Andy

    TCNW 851: If I Met Andy
    Aug 12 2025
    Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:27:58 I’ve been going through old files on my computer and came across a poem by a person with the username “Al Becker” from 2001. This poem really makes you think about what it would be like to meet not only Andy but many of the cast members from The Andy Griffith Show. What would your say to them? How would you feel when you met them? I’ve been lucky to have met so many of our friends from Mayberry and I can say this poem helps me to remember those wonderful times. I also ran across some video from 1999 that I’ve shown here on Two Chairs way back in April 2012. I thought it might be worth sharing again. Andy Griffith appeared for the first time on the Grand Ole Opry back on November 13, 1999. Andy was there to present fellow Tar Heel Earl Scruggs with a North Carolina Hall of Fame award. When Andy joined Earl on stage and he received an extended standing ovation. Here even said, “I ‘preciate it” and then told a barbershop joke that George Lindsey had first shared with him years ago. Then Andy, with Earl and company backing him (and playing a guitar he used on The Andy Griffith Show) played and sang “Whoa Mule,” (also called “Flop Eared Mule”). Andy had performed that song with the Country Boys on The Andy Griffith Show episode “Mayberry on Record.” Enjoy the memory We’ll do a few trivia questions as well.

This is performed on the Andy Griffith Playhouse stage where a school age Andy also once performed. The host for the pageant is Floyd the barber. This is one of the podcast episodes I would suggest you consider actually watching the video of if you normally just listen to the audio. I believe it would be worth the watch.
