Death wears an ascot in our Season 3 finale as Andy Griffith play not one, but two different rich sociopaths!

Join us as we meet a disillusioned former child evangelist, have sympathy for meme stars, watch 90's basic-cable ads, and read through psychotic-killer Andy's high scho...

To be clear, this episode is 100---- er, 99% original material, it just might seem... familiar. But listen, enough about the Andy Griffith Show, have you ever seen the movie HEAT?

I hope you like the episodes where we just talk about weird Philadelphia shit, because it takes us a full 20 minutes to get to the Andy Griffith Show in this one, and when we do, we get distracted almost immediately! In this episode, we meet Vent Guy, eulogize 300 reindeer, and take a strong stance on the subject of dogs being struck by lightning: We're against it. Marty on Twitter: https://twitte...

School is in session, kids, and tour guide/history buff Jenn Hensell ( https://freetoursbyfoot.com/philadelphia-tours/) has arrived to teach us all about the American Revolution, with some detours through the Civil War and the history of the Pledge of Alliegiance. Why, you ask? Because it's Season 3, Episode 23 - Andy Discovers America, and wow, he discovers it... badly. Marty on Twitter: https://...

That's right, in this UNLOCKED content previously only available to Patreon subscribers, we're talking about the seminal Japanese motorcycle superhero of the 1970's: Kamen Rider. Listen, as our daring podcasters half-remember the first three episodes of this classic (genuinely awesome) show, repeatedly call Japanese martial arts as kung fu, yell about homeowners association, and discuss about prop...

If this was the first and only episode of Breaking Mayberry you ever listened to, you'd probably think "wow, those guys sure use the word 'horny' a lot" - and you'd be correct. Marty and Dan continue to struggle with Gomer Pyle, Aunt Bee is hot for a racist, and the Mayberry PD does nothing to solve a crime in Season 3, Episodes 22 and 24 - "The Great Filling Station Robbery" and "Aunt Bee's Medic...

It's a Schneider family affair as Marty's sister Mickey joins us to talk about a good ol' Andy Griffith parenting episode. We're discussing allowances, Jerry Seinfeld's teenage girlfriend, and elementary school "horse girls." Plus, hey - don't hit kids. Come on. It's Season 3, Episode something - "Opie and the Spoiled Kid" SUPPORT BREAKING MAYBERRY ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/breakingmaybe...

Listen, we've been doing this for two years now, it's absolute madness that we haven't had Blue Apron call us up yet, and we're doing an episode about it! Look, these Andy Griffith episodes are good, they're even GREAT, which means, of course, that we go out of our way to avoid talking about them. Watch Marty and Dan try to bully their way into a sponsorship deal, with Season 3, episodes 19 and 20...

The boys get a visit from stand-up comedian, improv guy, and host of DTF With Darryl and Timaree Darryl Charles ( http://www.darrylcharlescomedy.com/) to talk about goats, goats, and more goats. Well, really, one specific goat - a goat that might explode. Marty, Dan, and Darryl talk about the decline of goats in America, their weird little square pupils, famous goats.... really this is a goat-heav...

The Andy Griffith Show is a show about cops, and that means Breaking Mayberry is a show about a show about cops, and that means Marty and Dan have to answer a lot of hard questions. After deliberating on this for about 20 minutes and probably still getting it wrong, we move on to an episode of the Andy Griffith Show that AG fans love, and leaves us a sweaty, tearful mess. It's Season 3, Episode 16...

Okay, quick note, for the first like 45 minutes of this episode, we sort of forget that horses, donkeys, and mules are different animals, just go with it. It's our mid-season break episode and we're exploring the films of Don Knotts some more! It's time to watch the Apple Dumpling Gang, Gus, and The Love God?! Or, actually, don't. Don't watch any of those things, they're bad. Listen to us instead....

We begin today's episode by pondering the moral conundrums left by Young MC in 1989's "Bust A Move" and end it by watching life turn a lonely child into a super villain. This episode goes some places. It's Season 3, Episode 14 "One Punch Opie" and Episode 15 "Barney and the Governor" SUPPORT BREAKING MAYBERRY ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/breakingmayberry Music by Max Ludwig: twitter.com/sle...

Scenes from the upcoming episode of Breaking Mayberry.

In this episode, we learn what a bed jacket is, and how Aunt Bee makes it weird and sexual. We also meet the grossest sticky boy and yell about people who were not in movies. All that, plus a rare episode where Marty and Dan are 100% on Barney Fife's side. It's Season 3, Episode 12 "The Bed Jacket", and Episode 13, "The Bank Job" SUPPORT BREAKING MAYBERRY ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/breaki...

It's time for a WOMANHUNT as Marty and Dan meet three escaped convicts from the women's prison - and boy does the Andy Griffith Show think that's hilarious. We're talking murderous millionaires, the ins and outs of eating a banana, and long-distance gay love stories between public transit fans. It's Season 3, Episode 11 "Convicts At Large!"

Preview of the upcoming Breaking Mayberry where we talk about buses a lot.

Okay, but like, that's the actual name of the Andy Griffith episode, we straight-up could not come up with anything funnier than that. The title makes no sense whatsoever, and neither does the episode. Shit does get weird in this one though. It's Season 3, Episode 7 - Floyd, The Gay Deciever!
