Look we all know Father John Misty would be the worst dinner guest but that's not the point, the point is what the hell did Dan mean by that?

He explains in our new episode: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...

179: Aggro! at the Post Office Podcast Episode Β· Breaking Mayberry Β· January 12 Β· 1h 23m

We just hit the first Sprague appearance! Without much to go on, I think the current status is a tentative "...we like this guy?"

(I think we started following you towards the end of that run, just like "this guy is posting a lot about individual TV episodes, that's close enough to our interests"

We've basically been accidentally researching this for almost 10 years now, and we've found that sitcoms in particular are meant to be semi-disposable pop filler, and some of them transcend that and some of them are just good at that!

People on here just want everything to be fucking Succession.

Look, we get it. We didn't want to be pro-Sheldon either.

But as Marty learns in this episode, sometimes the normies get it right and we're just a bunch of snobs:

We have an entire episode where discovering that I like Young Sheldon gives me a total existential crisis about my previous snobbery, driven by posts exactly like this.

The responses to this drive the populist in me crazy. Absolute old fashioned β€œI only watch PBS” cringe liberalism.

I appreciate the free promo from these guys.

Ringo is my favorite Beatle.

Ringo Starr has had it too good for too long. Help us keep beating the Beatle and his imaginary podcast by listening to Breaking Mayberry every single day.

Quick shout-out at the beginning of the episode to @damiott.bsky.social and the only podcast about Dragnet.

182: Help Me, Mumford and Step-Sons! Podcast Episode Β· Breaking Mayberry Β· March 11 Β· 1h 30m

New Episode where we have what Dan describes as "gas leak energy."

We close out season 6 of Andy Griffith with an episode we hated so deeply that it forces us to blame the CIA. Also we connect with Today's Teens.

Give a listen!!

182: Help Me, Mumford and Step-Sons! This episode gets weird as we talk about Ringo Starr's hypothetical podcast, decide another thing is a CIA psyop, and debate philosophically about threesomes. We relate to teens with the most relatable teen show in the country, a show loved by teens in a way we definitely understand. There's music in this episode too and all of it is bad. Season 6, Episode 30 "A Singer In Town" A podcast that's actually about Dragnet can be found https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/just-the-facts-and-more--6200114. Like this?

I'm the medieval fantasy goon the big bad evil guy pushes into a big bubbling cauldron/lava pit before turning to the other goons and saying something like "any other objections?"

I wanna be the guy that hangs back when Reacher says β€œone of you guys needs to drive to the hospital” and I say under my breath β€œget his ass” but fake trip so im last and get spared. Then later on at the hospital say β€œWE almost had him” while eating their pudding cup.

I'm the goon who hears an intruder, takes a cursory glance around, and says 'huh, must have been rats'.

If only there was a 32-movie tournament that classifies and compares all the kinds of goon.

Wow β€” a mere 55 followers away from 15,000?! 🚨 Can a little worker-owned pop culture site that plays by the writers' rules, middle finger to SEO and algorithms, possibly hit 15,000 before Labor Day?

Yeah, with YOU and the team we've assembled over the past 9 months? I think so. πŸ’Ž The team:

It's completely unclear if she reposted this as a joke or sincerely and I hope JCO never logs off

Now you might expect us to post an Andy Griffith show pic here. And you'd be wrong. Because we hate that show, and ourselves.

I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…

Man, pickle episode ain't even the funniest Andy Griffith episode. (That honor probably goes to "Aunt Bee The Warden")

Is the lesson of "Aunt Bee The Warden" that prison labor is cool and good? Yes.

Is it one of the funniest things ever aired on TV? Also yes.

Full 10/10 on both Andy-meter and Barney-meter.
