TCNW 782: Mr. Trivia’s Trivia

Two Chairs No Waiting
Two Chairs No Waiting

Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:35:00

Two Chairs No Waiting headquarters had a nice visit from Mayberry trivia expert, Paul Mulik, this past week. He was in Huntsville, AL competing in the North American Brass Band Championships. The band he’s in, Arkansas MusicWorks Brass Band, finished in second place so congratulations to Paul.

In the spirit of competition, Paul provided us a set of three Championships level trivia questions that we’ll be trying on this episode. Honestly, even if you are one of the biggest fans of The Andy Griffith Show anywhere, I’m not sure you’ll get even one of these questions correct. I can tell you that Paul came up with these questions standing here at Two Chairs HQ. Right out of his own head. I’m impressed and I think you’ll enjoy giving the questions a shot and then finding out the answers.

Don’t worry. We’ll play some Mayberry trivia also submitted by Paul that should be at least several degrees easier.

We have a voicemail from Margaret Kerry’s son, Eric Norquist who has been to Mayberry Days and other Mayberry events with his mom over the years. He has an update on Margaret for her Mayberry family. Thanks to Eric for taking time to update us all on his mom.

I also have a really fun bit of Mayberry history for you to hear that I’m almost certain will be new to you. I want to thank Doug Leftwich for providing these historical treats for us and I’m sure you’d like to thank him, too.

Two Chairs No Waiting

Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:33:10

The latest issue of the Weaver’s Newsletter hit the streets late last week so we’ll be going through some of the Mayberry news and reports that are found within. There’s great news about a BIG Mayberry fan and we hear from a few folks that made their way out to “Myers Lake” for a visit. That plus more.

We have some extra-easy Mayberry trivia that I know you’re going to enjoy. If you don’t feel pretty good about your Mayberry knowledge after this quiz, I honestly don’t know what to say.

Finally, we have a report from Floyd about another upcoming Mayberry event you won’t want to miss.

Two Chairs No Waiting
Two Chairs No Waiting

Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:59:09

This episode is a real treat for us all in that we get to hear from Opie’s buddy Howie Pruitt himself. Dennis Rush spends almost an hour visiting with us and telling stories of growing up as a child actor in Hollywood. We focus on The Andy Griffith Show, of course, but Dennis’ career is an amazing story and I know you’re going to enjoy.

He tell about working with so many of the stars that most of us dream of ever just having a chance to see in person. Dennis worked with them and has stories about each. We could easily have spend another hour going through what he was able to accomplish before he was even 17 years old.

Sit back and get ready for a long episode. Take your time, pause and come back if need be, becasue you will not want to miss a minute.

There’s no trivia this week because of the episode length so you have another week to study up.
