Podcasts about Gomer Pyle

In this philosophically rich episode of Badlands Story Hour, Chris Paul and Burning Bright take on Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, unpacking its brutal duality and eerie relevance to today's global narrative warfare. The conversation begins with an analysis of the film's two-act structure, boot camp and battlefield, and how Kubrick uses it to depict not just the horrors of war, but the system that transforms human beings into tools of violence. Chris and BB explore the concept of dehumanization, especially through the lens of Gomer Pyle and Project 100,000, McNamara's Vietnam-era program to funnel low-IQ recruits into combat. From there, they dive into the eerie symbolism of the film's final scene, the infamous sniper reveal, and the cultural conditioning that primes entire generations for conflict. The discussion widens to cover controlled opposition, narrative traps, the media's role in manufacturing consent, and how the same war machine now operates across Ukraine, Gaza, and the information sphere. They contrast Kubrick's cinematic truth-telling with today's hyperreality, where war is not just sold through propaganda but produced as entertainment. A masterclass in narrative analysis and moral clarity, this episode doesn't just critique the military-industrial complex...it exposes the spiritual and psychological cost of buying into it.

Lynyrd Skynyrd was a success with their debut album, and continued to build a fan base when they opened for The Who on their Quadrophenia tour.  Many of the songs on their debut album were staples of their concerts in Jacksonville, Florida, where they had built their style over the years since the 60's.  Therefore it was not a sure thing that they would be able to sustain their success over time.  Those concerns were put to rest when they released their second album.Second Helping, a southern colloquialism for getting more of the same thing at the dinner table, cemented Lynyrd Skynyrd as the flag bearer for the Southern Rock genre.  At a time when a number of British artists - most notably the Rolling Stones - were digging into the rock and blues music of the American South, Lynyrd Skynyrd was the real thing.  They rode the power of their triple guitar set and the wit of Ronnie Van Zandt's lyrics to a commercial success, with the album going to number 12 on the Billboard 200 chart and certified as gold by September 1974.  While contemporary critics were more lukewarm, those reviews have been revised way upward over time.  Second Helping also contains the biggest hit of the group as well, the Southern anthem "Sweet Home Alabama."Lynyrd Skynyrd would go on to produce many more hit songs and records in the southern rock genre before tragedy took front man Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and backup singer Cassie Gaines in October 1977.  But Second Helping is the album that solidified their standing as an internationally successful band.Wayne takes us through this album for this week's podcast, and Brian Dickhute joins us in Bruce's absence. The Needle and the SpoonThis song would not be the only anti-drug track in the Skynyrd discography.  The lyrics describe a man coming out of rehab, and makes use of a wah wah pedal effect that was not common to most of Skynyrd's music, but fit with the heroin subject of the song.  Swamp MusicAlthough not released as a single, this song got plenty of air play on FM radio, as did most of the tracks on this album.  This fast -paced track describes life in the Florida swamps.  The members of Lynyrd Skynyrd were well acquainted with outdoor life, fishing for catfish, hunting, and other "redneck" activities.Sweet Home AlabamaEveryone knows this anthem of Southern rock.  This song was written in response to Neil Young's "Southern Man," in which the band felt like the entire Southern United States was blamed for slavery.  Between the hook of the leading riff and the catchy lyrics, this song has become a staple of classic rock. This is Skynyrd's only top 10 hit, as it went to number 8 on the US charts.  Interestingly, none of the band members are from Alabama.Don't Ask Me No QuestionsGary Rossington and Ronnie Van Zandt wrote this song during a fishing trip.  Many think this is about a relationship, but it was a message to the record managers who were apathetic towards the band during the early days, but who turned demanding after they were a success.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK: Main theme from the television series, "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C."In this sitcom spin-off from "The Andy Griffith Show," Jim Nabors plays the lovable but naive Gomer Pyle, now enlisted into the Marine Corp.  Frank Sutton, who played Sergent Carter in this series, passed away in June 1974. STAFF PICKS:Help Me by Joni MitchellRob starts the staff picks with a single from Mitchell's sixth studio album, "Court and Spark."  This track is Mitchell's biggest single, and her only song to crack the top 10 in the US, going to  number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The lyrics describe a singer who knows she is falling for the wrong man, but is either powerless to stop it or doesn't want to call things off.Dancing Machine by the Jackson 5Brian brings us a song that hit number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 after a multi-year dry spell.  The Jackson 5 appeared on "Soul Train" performing this song, and Michael Jackson introduced the world to "the robot" dance routine.  The Jackson 5 had a Saturday morning cartoon which kept the group in the public conscious.Waterloo by ABBALynch features the song that made ABBA a household name when the Swedish group won the 1974 Eurovision Song contest singing this tune.  The lyrics compare falling in love to Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.  The name "ABBA" comes from the first letter of each of the singers' names.Tell Me Something Good by RufusWayne presents a funky song from a group featuring Chaka Kahn as lead vocalist.  Rufus is a one-hit wonder, with this song peaking at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Stevie Wonder wrote this song about a woman looking for a deeper relationship, not just a one night stand.  It was the first hit song that utilized the vocoder.  INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Dance with the Devil by Cozy PowellWe close out with a drum instrumental based on Jimi Hendrix' "Third Stone from the Sun."  Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

Slater from "Gomer Pyle" Live in person on his 92nd Birthday!

On today's show, we have an actor best known for his many cartoon voices, Disney movies and as co-star of Gomer Pyle, USMC. Here he is, Ronnie Schell. I do apologize for the audio issues during the first 27 minutes of this interview due to wi-fi connection issues. I have tried my best to edit this portion so that it sounds listenable.  Plus, the usual news from Fun Ideas Productions.

For five decades Don Knotts charmed the public from early work as an ensemble player on The Steve Allen Show to his long run as Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show to more family-friendly Disney movies than you can count, Don turned his "nervous man" personal into comedy gold. Later in his career, Don found a niche in small, but juicy supporting roles on Three's Company and in movies such as Pleasantville -- and he also reunited with Andy Griffith for the Matlock series. As always find more clips below and thanks for watching our shows! Want more Don Knotts? Don's greatest triumph came when he was cast as Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife, a lovable bumbler, in The Andy Griffith Show. Here is one of Don's all time great bits as Barney gets into an argument with Jim Nabors as Gomer Pyle. https://youtu.be/A1D78Y60gvo?si=oiL3o2wJBbWfQrqP In the 1960s Don starred in a run of family-friendly movies including The Incredible Mr. Limpet, The Love God, The Reluctant Astronaut, and our fave -- The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. Here are some highlights of Don in that film, playing the high strung Luther Heggs. https://youtu.be/fkSk-Zz9Bno?si=HHYinseQbbAZtUdn In 1979 Don returned as a tv series regular playing the lovable landlord Ralph Furley on the comedy hit Three's Company. https://youtu.be/NEE05Egqjlo?si=3PwAyPNpQxq7IquY Late in his career, Don appeared in a number of juicy supporting tv and film roles including a mysterious and slightly sinister tv repairman in the comedy-drama Pleasantville.https://youtu.be/Mii7EcFsGho?si=T1UFxJ0hwBphv-3U

Gomer is a noun that refers to a stupid colleague.  The precise origin of our word of the day is something of a mystery. There is a man named Gomer in the Bible, but some believe that the name became an insult after it was used on the character Gomer Pyle, the inept soldier depicted in the popular 1960s sitcom of the same name. Regardless of its source, Gomer has become an unflattering term for somebody not very good at his job. Here's an example:At the ice cream stand, I developed a reputation as a Gomer after I made a few mistakes. But honestly, I didn't feel I was that incompetent. Anybody can mistake a five-pound order for a five-gallon order, can't they?

Gomer Pyle joins the marines as we close season 4 and kick off the series "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C." Aaron and Chris also ranked the greatest television spinoffs of all time.

Andy, Barney, and Gomer take boys camping, but Andy has to spend the majority of his time taking care of Barney and Gomer.

Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:35:27 Last week we talked about the first spin-off from The Andy Griffith Show, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., and I thought it fitting to talk about the one that was more of a continuation of the original, Mayberry R.F.D. During the eighth and final season of The Andy Griffith Show, widower farmer […]

Barney tells Gomer he has Thelma Lou in his hip pocket and that does not go over well. Meanwhile, Chris shows off his singing voice.

Host: Allan NewsomeRunning time: 0:34:03 Jim Nabors birthday is this week so I thought this would be a good time time to talk about the show that made him famous. Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. originally aired on the CBS television network from September 25, 1964, until May 2, 1969. The series was a spin-off of The […]

Barney and Gomer try their hand at being con artists and the joke ends up being on them, while Aaron reads hate mail about "Bargain Day".

Aunt Bee buys a side of beef, but the freezer is not up to the task in what is Aaron's least favorite episode of the black and white era.

With Barney away, Gomer tries to pay Andy back for "saving his life", while Aaron and Chris break down Andy's high-stakes plan for trying to stop him. And Floyd's back!

When people think about the US Marine Corps' many contributions in World War II, they usually think about the island hopping campaign in the pacific, as they should - amphibious operations are the bread and butter of the USMC. But there were a select few who served in Europe, mostly with the Office of Strategic Services - or OSS - the precursor to today's Central Intelligence Agency.One such Marine in Europe was Peter Ortiz who, by the time he enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1942, already had five years of combat experience fighting in the French Foreign Legion, experiences that made him closer to a real-life James Bond than a real-life Gomer Pyle.The introduction and transition music heard on the podcast is composed and reporded by the eldest Ghosts of Arlington, Jr. While the rest of his catelogue is quite different from what he's performed for me, you can find his music on bandcamp.com under the names Caladrius and Bloodfeather.As always, a very special thanks to Mountain Up Cap Company for its continued help to spread the word about the podcast on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/MountainUpCapCompany Climb to Glory!For more information about the podcast visit: ·       The GoA website: https://www.ghostsofarlingtonpodcast.com    ·       Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ghostsofarlingtonpodcast·       Twitter: https://twitter.com/ArlingtonGhosts·       Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ghostsofarlington/

Andy tries to take a vacation, but Barney and Gomer make it impossible. Aaron and Chris then explain why all of this is Andy's fault.

Aaron and Chris break down the episode where TAGS fans first learned that Jim Nabors, aka Gomer Pyle, had an amazing singing voice.

Les, Kurt, and Jason are back after a long break filled with lots of travel! Les went to New Orleans and Fresno! Kurt went to Fresno, too! And Jason went to Sydney, Australia! But now all 3 are back in their respective homes, though Jason and Les are very much over the unbelievable amounts of rain (and snow!) that LA has been getting. Kurt found out that he is apparently someone's “hall pass” (but who's the top?) Plus, there's a ton of Blac Chyna news all centered on her new makeUNDER. Then the guys are finally ready to head to Tuscany, the setting for Hallmark's 2022 film Unthinkably Good things. The first film under their Mahogany label (with a largely black cast), the movie is gorgeous, features 3 leads that all have genuine chemistry with one another, deals with real problems, and back to back montages (!) the movie seems so stuffed that it could benefit from spending more time in this world. But that doesn't mean we need to ever know if one of the characters REALLY think his sheep are his girlfriends.    Facebook : alifetimeofhallmark Instagram : lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast Theme song generously donated by purple-planet.com

Gov. Brian Kemp extends Georgia's gas tax suspension for another month (To quote the late, great Gomer Pyle of Andy Griffith Show fame, "Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!"), allowing drivers to keep an extra 29-cents for every gallon of petrol they combust through Nov. 11th. That's a full 72-hours past Election Day. "Shazamm!"; You wouldn't think going from four lanes to three would be enough to turn Atlanta drivers' homicidal. If you don't keep off a stretch of the northside perimeter for the next eight months, G-DOT predicts you'll become a full-fledged serial killer; and a Georgia Republican says because the pandemic is 'over' [air quotes], time to return to the good ol' days when landlords need not wait 30 days to kick late-paying renters to the curb.
