Okay, so look, there's an Andy Griffith Show writer named Harvey Bullock and that's also the name of a minor Batman character that doesn't like Batman and you pretty much need that context to get like, half the jokes in this episode because we are the most accessible podcast of all time.

"Hey Barney! It's your cousin Virgil! Virgil Fife?! You know that uncomfortably horny Tweety Bird vibe you've been looking for? Well, listen to this!" Marty and Dan made it to the end of Season 2, and it ends on a pair of wet farts that drive us nuts.

Marty 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.

We'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 -...

It'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.

Marty 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. BARNEY FIFE: C...
