Breaking Mayberry

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...

A scene from this week's Breaking Mayberry. Number 69: "Unionize The Children"

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.

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!

Scenes from Breaking Mayberry Episode 60 - a very horny one.

Boy, it really took no time at all for quarantine to break the Mayberry boys. We spend a lot of time in this episode talking about western movies and why Floyd shouldn't be allowed in public. Andy and Barney both roll to bluff, Marty reveals intimate knowledge of Canada's finest dad-rock bands, and Dan is uncomfortable.

It's time to solve a crime! No, not with careful investigations or evidence or anything like that. No, we're solving crime the old-fashioned way - with Andy Griffith's hunch! Plus, Marty finds a new button to press. It's Season 3, Episode 5 - The Cow Thief

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.
