Breaking Mayberry

It'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!

IT'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.

This 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.It's AG Season 2 Episode 12 "Sheriff Barney"Listen to Sabrina the Teenage Watch: https://soundcloud.com/sabrina-the-teenage-watchMusic by Max Ludwig: twitter.com/sleeptalkyEnd Music: "Appalachian Coal Mines" by AskAgain: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Ask%20Again/Midnight_Caravan/Coal_MinersArt by Emily Christina: www.instagram.com/scriblemly/Follow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: www.twitter.com/BreakMayberry, Facebook www.facebook.com/BreakingMayberry/ or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.comMarty on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SchneidRemarksDan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theluddsMusic by Max Ludwig: twitter.com/sleeptalkyEnd Music: "Appalachian Coal Mines" by AskAgai

Allright, 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.

Legal council Ian Roberts returns for our back-to-back legal episodes! Ian explains the history of "the pill" and its availability, Dan learns secrets about J Edgar Hoover, and Barney Fife accidentally gets into some cuckold/swinging shenanigans. This shit is weird, folks. It's Season 2, Episode 5, "Barney on the Rebound!"

Marty and Dan sat down again with their legal expert Ian Roberts to talk about historical financial contracts and the breakdown of the post-Civil war southern economy, all while Andy tries to keep a senile old man from being evicted.Look, there's a lot going on in this episode, okay?

Come 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 Lady Speeder", a woman from Washington is accused of the crimes of being a woman and having an opinion Andy doesn't like.

Marty and Dan are back for Season 2, and we start with a very special episode about the dangers of bullying, and how Opie is impervious to pain.In S02EP01 "Opie And The Bully", Opie is constantly losing his milk money to a slightly taller child, and Andy provides the best course of action: Lying to his son to put him in physical danger. Marty and Dan take on the Great British Baking Show and the evil likes of the American Milk lobbyists.SUPPORT BREAKING MAYBERRY ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/breakingmayberryMusic by Max Ludwig: twitter.com/sleeptalkyEnd Music: "Appalachian Coal Mines" by Ask Again: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Ask%20Again/Midnight_Caravan/Coal_MinersArt by Emily Christina: www.instagram.com/scriblemly/Follow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: www.twitter.com/BreakMayberry, Facebook www.facebook.com/BreakingMayberry/ or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.comMarty on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SchneidRemarksDan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theludds

It's the Season 1 Finale of Breaking Mayberry, and we're closing out with our first movie episode! Going back a few years before the AG Show premiered, we're taking on 1957's "A Face In The Crowd", starring Andy Griffith as a conman drifter named Lonesome Rhodes. It's the darker side of the Mayberry coin as Marty and Dan talk about the Hollywood blacklist, Andy's cult following, and the difference between ships and boats.Since this is the Hollywood History episode, "Join us, won't you?"SUPPORT BREAKING MAYBERRY ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/breakingmayberryMusic by Max Ludwig: twitter.com/sleeptalkyEnd Music: "A Face In The Crowd" by Andy GriffithFor more on Elia Kazan, listen to Karina Longworth's You Must Remember This episode "On The Waterfront": http://www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/episodes/2016/5/23/on-the-waterfront-elia-kazan-blacklist-episode-13Art by Emily Christina: www.instagram.com/scriblemly/Follow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: www.twitter.com/BreakMayberry, Facebook www.facebook.com/B

It'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.

It's the long-awaited sequel to MANHUNT and Marty and Dan are absolutely thrilled. When an escaped criminal comes for Barney, it's a non-stop thrill ride of body-blocks and serious shocks or something like that. Look, this episode rules. Just listen.SUPPORT BREAKING MAYBERRY ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/breakingmayberryMusic by Max Ludwig: twitter.com/sleeptalkyEnd Music: "Appalachian Coal Mines" by Ask Again: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Ask%20Again/Midnight_Caravan/Coal_MinersArt by Emily Christina: www.instagram.com/scriblemly/Follow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: www.twitter.com/BreakMayberry, Facebook www.facebook.com/BreakingMayberry/ or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.comMarty on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SchneidRemarksDan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theludds

In this episode, we witness a scientific miracle happening in Mayberry - the miracle of birth, but without that whole pesky part of "women" being involved. Comedy Writer Jordana Lipitz joins us for Season 1, Episode 29 "Quiet Sam." We get some new theories on Barney's days in the war, do our best Spongebob impressions and debate the merits of menstruation tents.Then, Dan and Marty return for Season 1, Episode 28, "Andy Forecloses", in which a man is sold into indentured servitude and Opie acts like a tiny meth addict.SUPPORT BREAKING MAYBERRY ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/breakingmayberryMusic by Max Ludwig: twitter.com/sleeptalkyEnd Music: "Appalachian Coal Mines" by Ask Again: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Ask%20Again/Midnight_Caravan/Coal_MinersArt by Emily Christina: www.instagram.com/scriblemly/Follow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: www.twitter.com/BreakMayberry, Facebook www.facebook.com/BreakingMayberry/ or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.comJordana on Twitter: https://twitter.com/lipsitzngi

Marty and Dan come back to the farm for just... just a shocking amount of sexism, even by 1961 standards, holy hell. Season 1, Episode 27, "Ellie Saves A Female" refers to women as "female" in the title and it doesn't get better from there.SUPPORT BREAKING MAYBERRY ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/breakingmayberryMusic by Max Ludwig: twitter.com/sleeptalkyEnd Music: "Appalachian Coal Mines" by Ask Again: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Ask%20Again/Midnight_Caravan/Coal_MinersArt by Emily Christina: www.instagram.com/scriblemly/Follow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: www.twitter.com/BreakMayberry, Facebook www.facebook.com/BreakingMayberry/ or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.com
