3:43
and i was looking at this this is
3:44
interesting
3:45
right here take a look zoomed in at the
3:48
newspaper he is reading
3:50
from episode aunt bees invisible bow
3:54
episode 154
3:56
it says right there the mount airy news
3:59
yeah isn't that neat
4:01
and here's andy walking out of his home
4:03
that he grew up in
4:04
in fact probably about a year or so ago
4:07
i passed through here and i was able to
4:08
stay there i did a whole episode on that
4:10
we're gonna go by there in the squad car
4:12
and the slingshot was andy's when he was
4:15
a youth in fact all of these items
4:18
belong to andy and look over here in
4:20
this yearbook
4:22
yeah this yearbook right down here from
4:24
1947
4:25
highlighted as the president of the
4:27
men's glee club here he is
4:30
right there next to marie hallman
4:33
mom just let me know about this fun fact
4:35
from the episode the farmer takes a wife
4:38
episode 45
4:39
this is carl griffith right there his
4:43
father is shown walking out of the sea i
4:45
never realized that and this was the
4:47
photograph i was mentioning of him
4:48
standing in between the sculptures there
4:51
and one thing that is really incredible
4:53
they have in here they have the signage
4:55
from in front of the real courthouse
4:58
sets the facades in southern california
5:02
that are now bulldozed now they're just
5:04
used for other productions and it's
5:06
basically just completely looks nothing
5:08
like it did but here not only do they
5:11
have
5:12
his uniform
5:13
but over here this is always incredible
5:15
to me these are the signs that you would
5:18
see in front of when barney's out front
5:21
all the town folk these are screen used
5:24
right here the justice of the peace sign
5:27
and the sheriff's side but take a look
5:29
at this mayberry courthouse door signs
5:31
these are the original signs used on the
5:33
exterior of the mayberry courthouse from
5:36
1960 to 1968. i love the fact that they
5:39
have his guitar and also don knotts look
5:42
these are his outfits dodd knots outfits
5:44
from some of the episodes and his gloves
5:46
as well as goober's outfit and george
5:49
lindsay his little cap has been bronzed
5:52
now not all of this are original props
5:54
however this is don notch chair they sat
5:57
next to andy's desk now this eagle was
6:00
screen used as well as the gavel signed
6:02
by andy there and the the block and this
6:05
phone also in a few episodes barney
6:07
could be calling juanita right there on
6:09
that very phone got myself a little
6:11
photograph of me and thelma lou
6:13
smooching on my cheek
6:16
can be seen right inside here if you go
6:17
down
6:18
the staircase down the hill
6:24
from the museum it's down this little
6:24
staircase
6:27
and now arrived over in the parking lot
6:30
of wall-e's and there's a squad car
6:32
we'll be doing a tour in shortly now
6:34
i've been here in the past and usually
6:37
it is not during the winter so there's
6:38
more people here
6:39
there's not a lot of people here in
6:41
front of the recreation of the mayberry
6:43
courthouse
6:56
just like walking in
6:56
to the mayberry courthouse in jail
7:01
there's some set dressing with the tv
7:03
there
7:05
got the window up there on both of them
7:10
and
7:11
photograph of otis
7:34
you can pretend you're otis mama
7:34
yeah okay
7:54
this is his girlfriend
7:59
sorry
7:59
he didn't care about me but that's just
8:01
too bad
8:03
i'm his girlfriend june
8:05
bye
8:07
yeah barney and andy were eating aunt
8:09
bee's pickles and they didn't like them
8:11
at all they were disgusting but they had
8:12
to pretend like they like them
8:16
this is pretty neat through here
8:18
at this place all to ourselves
8:20
all this stuff
8:21
years ago
8:26
i love the gavel
8:27
and then over here this is pretty
8:29
accurate i mean it's not exact but
8:30
pretty accurate to feels like you're in
8:32
there and then of course
8:34
around here was a storage area
8:36
through here
8:38
now it's like a restroom but this is
8:39
like where barney was sort of asleep
8:41
overnight and stuff back through here
8:44
in memory of ernest t
8:51
it's funny
8:51
you know ernest he bass was the
8:52
inspiration for ernest p worrell jim
8:55
varney who did earnest the hay vern guy
8:59
dressed very similar ernest t
9:02
and ernest p
9:04
same kind of outfit fun fact
9:10
i thought you were gonna smash your
9:10
phone your cell phone no all right smile
9:13
put the gavel up get the camel ready
9:15
there you go
9:17
the firm arm of the law
9:20
sheriff taylor mom taylor
9:23
guilty
9:25
yeah last time i was in town it was so
9:27
busy i couldn't even get on one of the
9:29
tours but i stayed at andy's house so
9:30
that was pretty good trade-off i'm an
9:32
anti-cold person so if you feel the heat
9:34
a little bit if you're going to leave
9:36
that window down that's just me
9:38
i lost 65 pounds oh so uh that's one
9:41
reason i stay colder i really lost
9:43
inflation so you folks are from uh
9:46
you're not going to plumb down within
9:48
central florida central florida orlando
9:51
area yeah that's emmy well most people
9:53
don't believe this you know where i'm
9:54
originally from
9:56
here
9:58
jay walker right here
10:00
all right now citizens erase senators
10:19
yeah i see all these homes partially
10:19
built out of stone this is over here to
10:20
the left it's got a lot of stone in here
10:23
we get to construct the whole up that
10:24
was built in 1910 did that got the
10:26
science things on stone yeah oh that's
10:29
granted i like to show them on
10:31
before the motor company became their
10:33
corporate sponsor
10:35
and their agreement with the show was
10:36
that each season the show came back on
10:38
television they would give them brand
10:40
new patrol cars
10:42
so every year they took the old cars
10:44
back
10:45
they turned them in the used car and
10:47
sold them and the flanny died he would
10:48
have told you as far as he knows there
10:51
are no original cars left on the face of
10:53
the ear for two reasons
10:56
back then nobody thought about hanging
10:58
onto him
10:59
but your biggest reason they were never
11:02
toggled to the show
11:03
and you might ask yourself well why not
11:05
well that's sort of something
11:07
it didn't really make sense to for this
11:09
reason
11:10
if you just gonna tile a vehicle to
11:11
somebody knowing in a few short months
11:14
you're going to get it right back
11:16
that's a whole lot of paperwork and
11:17
headache that you don't need
11:19
so what did ford do before decided let
11:22
them have with an open tile as long as
11:24
demonstrators no strings attached
11:27
and at the end of the season when they
11:28
got it back all they had to do was strip
11:31
them down and repaint them sold them
11:33
back to the public and when they got out
11:35
the side booth that's when you lost your
11:37
ability to trace it back to the set
11:39
because again there's no paper trail you
11:41
never see anything like this before
11:44
you won't see another one like it
11:47
it's a lot of quarries but not like this
11:50
is this stone's right is this stone is
11:52
this part of it right here yes father
11:56
and that's how they it's how they get
11:57
down a lot of times they'll drill those
11:58
holes in a blast
12:00
like
12:01
split woo
12:03
anyway
12:04
so this over here is that grounded up to
12:06
make that
12:07
like sand well that's the remnants of
12:10
all that with what they're doing with it
12:12
all right we grew up in that house right
12:14
there yeah hope apollos
12:16
i mean
12:19
well i was uh one time 10
12:21
10 kids not count mama daddy and at one
12:24
time it's like seven radio smith house
12:26
one time yeah i'm the oldest of eight
12:28
and we had ten living in the house got
12:30
my mom and daddy yeah
12:31
but it wasn't that big yeah people
12:34
people asked about the house where'd you
12:35
where's your bedroom saw on the other
12:37
side of it
12:38
uh see one boy the oldest was in the
12:40
military so five of us left
12:43
and they said where'd you just i said
12:44
well uh us five boys slept in the same
12:47
room over on the other side of the house
12:49
in the same bed in saint paul oh my
12:51
goodness oh the same pair underwear
12:53
picking on ernestine i'll tell you why i
12:54
like to do that
12:56
ernest t
12:57
uh you know people thought it was all
12:59
more episodes there was
13:01
the irish t was number five
13:03
and that was because
13:05
you know he always took the forefront of
13:07
the episodes he's in you know it's all
13:09
about what's he into what's he up to
13:12
and it asks about what the show's about
13:14
plus he played such a nut a lot of
13:16
people thought that guy had been parsley
13:18
nuts in real life but he is probably the
13:20
most well
13:22
educated guy on that show
13:23
because behind the scenes howard morris
13:25
who played honesty was a writer and
13:27
director
13:28
he was a producer he was george the tv
13:30
repair one episode he was the voice for
13:32
the little gloss radio program one
13:34
episode
13:35
he directed some dick van dyke episodes
13:37
and also was in a ton of movies so truly
13:40
throughout his career probably one of
13:42
the most intelligent guys in the film
13:43
industry
13:44
now the show last i got a little cute
13:46
story i'll tell you with about between
13:48
them and that be here man but now the
13:50
show lasted from october 3rd 1960 till
13:52
april 68 eight years
13:54
and the first number one character that
13:56
passed away when you're showing off tv
13:58
was floyd the barber howard mcnair
14:00
and he died early in january of 1969
14:03
from complications to strokes
14:05
now if you kept up with the series
14:06
through the years you could see his
14:08
health decline because the first three
14:10
seasons he was really active on the sid
14:12
and running around doing all kinds of
14:13
crazy stuff but then i don't know what
14:15
day it was but it was in 63 he had a
14:18
stroke which paralyzed his left side to
14:19
where he could never walk again and also
14:22
let them in a coma for some time
14:24
well andy still wasn't pleased with that
14:25
idea because he loved the man to death
14:27
when he took him off the show so he went
14:28
and talked to howard's life he said ruth
14:31
if he recovers to the degree that i can
14:33
use him back on the show would that be
14:34
okay she said andy had been answered to
14:36
prayer because they just didn't make a
14:37
ton of money back then plus he wasn't 64
14:40
when he died he was born 1905 died
14:42
january 1969
14:45
so uh andy kept an eye on him and he
14:47
come out of his coma he was alert again
14:49
he could speak again
14:50
i never did walk again but at the point
14:52
where he could speak again he brought it
14:54
back on the show but after 63 all you
14:56
you're seeing do a second chair out
14:58
front on the bench in the courthouse in
15:01
cars and occasionally after 63 you might
15:03
see him standing but he was always close
15:06
to something or somebody could hold on
15:08
casey passed away with francis bouvier
15:10
at me
15:11
and she was born and raised in new york
15:13
in 1902 but she retired and settled in
15:15
solar city north carolina in 1974.
15:19
she bought a 17-room
15:22
five-bath matching site unseen
15:24
lived there for 15 years since she died
15:26
in 1989 when she died expect a house
15:29
full of cats and a 66 neutral backer
15:32
with full flat turns
15:38
now francis never married
15:38
she had no family actually her cats was
15:41
her family
15:42
and they said that she occupied one room
15:44
of the house and a cat said rest
15:47
i mean i love cats but not in my house
15:50
like that
15:50
wow
15:52
now andy used to do interviews and share
15:55
with you stories about francis what a
15:57
tremendous accuracy was because in real
15:59
life francis spooky was ornery as an old
16:02
bull
16:03
a 100 recluse and she hated that
16:07
she did did not lock in and and he said
16:10
i don't know what it was about her she
16:11
just did not like him
16:13
and i wish that he never said it but it
16:15
did
16:16
have caused some conflicts between them
16:18
behind the scenes
16:21
now she didn't like ernest t bassey
16:24
i was telling you about sharing a funny
16:25
story about him
16:30
and it not didn't have anything that's
16:30
that about that but understood that she
16:31
didn't like it was howard morrison
16:33
paydirt's team because i mentioned to
16:35
you was one of the many directors behind
16:36
the scene like bob training dick printer
16:38
don weiss
16:40
but anytime that it was his turn to
16:42
direct her in an episode she despised
16:44
him
16:45
and shortly after she died i was locked
16:47
in my little room one night and also i
16:48
thought i heard his voice i stepped back
16:50
and he was on tv doing the interview and
16:52
he's talking about working with her said
16:54
she said she got all up in his face and
16:56
jumped down his throat says oh you're
16:58
just making me move cause i'm fat
17:04
so she's very argumented and defensive
17:04
but said when it's all said and done you
17:05
still knew one thing that she was
17:07
working with a tremendous actress and
17:09
probably one of the most well trained on
17:11
the show because she had 25 years of
17:14
broadway underwear yes she did but that
17:16
was her problem
17:22
she tried to cross up broadway and tv on
17:22
the show that's two different ways back
17:24
there's one lady sitting in the middle
17:25
of the back seat raised a finger my rear
17:27
viewer said sir
17:28
i could tell you all about that woman
17:30
she was terrible so see i'm a retired
17:33
registered nurse so i went in her room
17:35
one day and said she throw the bed pan
17:42
i thought you cannot make that kind of
17:42
stuff
17:43
on the left corner
17:45
that church right there is the very
17:46
first one built in 1896 now the park
17:50
and the beautiful church is still active
17:52
i finally was able to go in that thing
17:54
i'm 70 years old never been in it's
17:55
little church how skinny did it sure
17:58
is not entertaining and i tell everybody
18:02
on my tour so that church has got two
18:04
strong beliefs
18:06
i said what's that i said uh close
18:08
fellowship and deodorant
18:11
all right now it's around now main
18:12
street where andy grew up every now and
18:14
then you're going to pass tonight it
18:15
reflects the show like leon's right
18:17
there to the right
18:18
up here at the light on that left corner
18:20
you're going to see uh
18:23
the name called uh the loaded goat
18:25
oh yeah
18:27
and i always look at an episode where
18:28

for emmy clark to fix man um
20:07
he and i were awful good friends for 40
20:09
years when he died a lot of the
20:10
information i got about andy was through

20:15
asked about
20:16
see andy died july 3rd 2012.
20:21
at 7 00 am on this property i'm out of
20:23
maximum of a lot of manual

and that's the seven o'clock all right
20:27
by 11 30 good morning he was in the
20:29
ground
20:30
four and a half hours
20:32
and so i wondered about that two days
20:34
later i bumped into emmett
20:36
uh
20:37
at barnes
20:39
and he he he don't say hey don what
20:41
would he suffer so i was sitting there
20:44
i said oh yeah i want to ask you so why
20:46
the world's andy bird secret
20:48
he said nah he said that andy told him
20:50
his whole life that when he died he
20:52
didn't want two or three days charade
20:53
behind his funeral just put him in the
20:54
ground so even though he steps out of
20:56
the courthouse and stops
20:58
and while they're standing there and he
20:59
forced down his lips to jury go down a
21:01
few blocks at the corner of haymorn
21:02
rockford that sign right there
21:04
and be the crossing guard for the
21:05
scooter
21:07
why was that mentioned on an episode
21:09
that episode would jury end in air in
21:11
1965.
21:13
in 1965 andy's bomber daddy was
21:15
delivering a rock in that little house
21:19
that's where andy grew up
21:27
now here is the story on that house
21:27
he knows the first year on that sign
21:29
which is 35.
21:30
but now andy was born june 1st 1926.
21:34
uh the first nine years he was alive and
21:36
his mom and dad sort of what you might
21:38
say homeless
21:40
for nine years that bounced around minor
21:42
between relatives i think part of the
21:44
ohio before making it back in his dad
21:46
finally able to purchase that house in
21:48
35.
21:50
so they lived here of course diana goes

25:21
of andy's first film
25:23
face in the crowd and right here on the
25:26
side of the wall there it is a face in
25:27
the crowd opens locally may 30th and
25:29
here's another photograph of andy up on
25:31
that very stage right there
25:34
we already got a bite to eat but there's
25:35
also barney's cafe home of the barney
25:38
burger you have to look very closely to
25:39
find the spot in central florida there
25:42
all right you have now documented
25:44
before you have trouble getting in there
25:47
right there
25:51
there's so many there you go that's good
25:51
enough i ended up getting a t-shirt got
25:53
a pink floyd shirt floyd the barber
25:56
you know but it's
25:58
color pink so pink floyd
26:00
i had a version of this a long time ago
26:01
but it was a different shirt of floyd
26:03
that was pink
26:04
but i got another one i got a got a new
26:06
pink floyd shirt i also got this decal
26:11
which is a place here in town after the
26:13
episode of the goat
26:15
with the tnt
26:16
one of my favorite episodes of the
26:17
antichrist one thing i'm noticing is you
26:19
see a few signs that say mount airy
26:22
north carolina but you see more geared
26:24
towards mayberry like the mall here
26:28
says mayberry mall
26:30
it's a fictional place but they refer to
26:32
it as mayberry and right here
26:35
andy griffith parkway he has a name a
26:37
road named after him as well in honor of
26:40
andy and we all know aunt b couldn't
26:42
make the best dill pickles
26:44
but she definitely
26:46
smoked some bbq and also a dairy bar
26:51
not a lot of people swimming in the
26:52
mayberry motor lodge pool you can see
26:55
the
26:56
ice and snow down there but there's also
27:02
a car
27:02
a little patrol car
27:04
in front of here as well supposedly they
27:06
have an ant b room here
27:10
i don't know
27:12
oh there is an image oh it sure is yeah
27:14
you see these all over town
27:16
located in room 109 i'm gonna guess they
27:19
do not rent this out
27:21
but notice you see the reflection of the
27:23
squad car
27:24
the reason i say they probably do not
27:25
rent this out
27:27
for guests is because
27:28
the actress francis
27:31
who played aunt b
27:34
a lot of her items are owned
27:36
by the person who runs this hotel
27:39
and they are all located in here
27:42
and you can see there's a picture of
27:44
actress that played aunt b down there
27:47
and these beds are just full of
27:48
memorabilia
27:50
right here at the mayberry motor lodge
27:58
i asked the gentleman in the office he
27:58
said he didn't have the key the owner
27:59
was not here today but i was allowed to
28:01
peek in the window that's what i'm doing
28:03
well some of it's souvenirs but i
28:05
believe the outfit over there was got
28:07
from the estate sale the hat and the
28:09
gloves and the
28:10
the coat
28:15
i was reading a little bit online about
28:15
this and this bedroom set
28:17
also belonged to the actress
28:20
so they were hers as well
28:22
did not realize this is not furnished by
28:24
the hotel
28:25
but they were like in a guest bedroom
28:27
of sorts probably everything in this
28:29
room is worse yeah gloves eyeglasses
28:32
handkerchief dress hat shoe kit how to
28:35
say
28:36
case and sewing materials what the
28:37
article says
28:40
ashtrays
28:48
where is it is there a fan blowing right
28:48
on that stuff
28:50
you see it
28:51
well i see down there that there is a
28:57
something's blowing up the
28:57
yep
28:58
maybe it's the ghost of auntie
29:01
i was trying to see the fan brothers she
29:03
is still not happy about her spoiled
29:05
pickles
29:07
that's gonna do it for today from
29:09
mayberry mount airy north carolina
29:13
it was fun
29:18
i'll see the next video the vlog
29:18
