You are in for a treat this episode as we’ll be hearing/seeing the entire interview with “Opie’s Pals” Keith Thibodeaux (Johnny Paul) and Dennis Rush (Howie) from April 12, 2025. Keith and Dennis we’re interviewed once on Friday and then again on Saturday in Granville, TN at the Mayberry – I Love Lucy Festival. This recording features the interview from Saturday.

They’ll be talking about their careers and sharing wonderful insights and stories from how they got their starts to where they are now.

This is going to be one of the longest episodes I’ve ever published but I know you are going to enjoy every minute of the show.

Because it’s so long, we won’t be doing any trivia this episode.

Set back and listen or watch the video version to see images of the things/people they talk about. It’s BIG!
