K&F Show #344: Dallas Races and the KF Show Hits Vegas for SEMA 2025! Dukes of Hazzard Review: S1E12 “Route 7-11”

The crew heads to Las Vegas for SEMA 2025, bringing with them plenty of laughs, chaos, and one classic Dukes of Hazzard re-review: Season 1, Episode 12, “Route 711.” With Rob and Bernie on the ground (and Corndog holding down the home front), the team dives into the gambling-themed episode that mirrors their Vegas backdrop—complete with Bo and Luke unknowingly hauling a rolling casino, Uncle Jesse turning card-shark, and Cooter pulling strings behind the scenes. The guys also reveal some big updates for Kibbe and Friends: live Patreon broadcasts moving to a new platform, new YouTube plans for 2026, and the behind-the-scenes grind of capturing interviews across SEMA’s sprawling show floor.

From there, it’s full-throttle storytelling—Dallas Kibbe’s run at the Legends Asphalt Nationals, a turbocharged Holley feature, and a round of movie-car trivia that somehow loops Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Cars’ Lightning McQueen into the mix. Add in Bernie’s trademark “news you didn’t ask for” (rogue monkeys and all), and you’ve got another classic K&F blend of cars, culture, and comedy. It’s Vegas lights, Georgia dirt, and General Lee nostalgia rolled into one big laugh-filled episode.

K&F Show #343: Bernie’s Birthday and a General Lee Giveaway (Maybe)? // Car Movie Review: “Speed Zone” – the Lost John Candy Flick!

The Kibbe and Friends Show returns with Episode 343 — and this one’s full of laughs, nostalgia, and big ideas. Rob, Corndog, and birthday boy Bernie celebrate his 65th with a mix of humor and heartfelt chaos while rediscovering Speed Zone — the almost-forgotten “Cannonball Run III” starring John Candy. Between movie trivia and behind-the-scenes banter, the crew keeps the laughs rolling as only they can.

Meanwhile, Rob gears up for Dallas Kibbe’s first Las Vegas race weekend, with the No. 13 car back on track at The Bullring before heading into the Asphalt Nationals. It’s a huge test for the season, and listeners get an inside look at prep, pressure, and the thrill of competition. And then comes a bold idea — could Kibbe and Friends actually host a General Lee giveaway? Not confirmed, but the possibility is on the table. Would you want in?

K&F Show #342: Rise of AI Corndog! Surviving General Lees, Lost VINs, and a Vintage Chat with Bo Duke Himself, John Schneider!

What happens when Corndog takes a week off and his digital twin takes over? You get AI Corndog — a surprisingly sarcastic, eerily accurate clone that somehow knows every surviving General Lee by VIN number and still manages to roast Bernie mid-sentence. In this week’s episode, Rob and Bernie navigate a wild mix of technology, nostalgia, and good ol’ car talk as they lock in SEMA 2025 plans, revisit a few listener voicemails that should’ve stayed buried, and share behind-the-scenes updates on Dallas’s race prep for Las Vegas.

But the real horsepower hits in the back half of the show with a Patreon-exclusive deep dive into the surviving screen-used General Lees, guided by the encyclopedic mind of Corndog himself. Then, for dessert, the guys crack open a vintage interview with John Schneider — a fan-favorite throwback where Bo Duke talks about filming the final jumps, correcting paint mistakes on the reunion cars, and the hidden realities of life on set. It’s equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and totally “Hazzard.”

K&F Show #341: Dallas’ Wild Jefferson Weekend, the Road to SEMA, and a Dukes Review S3, E12 “State of the County”

October kicks off with a bang. Rob, Corndog, and Bernie recap Dallas Kibbe’s three-day run at Jefferson Speedway: a breakout Friday-night win away from home—perfect choose-cone calls, smart restarts—followed by the rough side of racing on Saturday with hard contact and a heavy hit that likely totaled the Legends car. The best news: Dallas is OK (no head issues). With the Las Vegas Asphalt Nationals just weeks away, the scramble is on to source a competitive car and make the trip.

Bernie’s news (presented by National Parts Depot) covers the industry and the track: Bosch trims auto-parts jobs, modern-car “features” that drive us nuts (blinding DRLs, multipurpose buttons), and Ida Zetterström’s jaw-dropper .000 reaction time in Top Fuel versus Tony Stewart. There’s also a Route 66 “Pavement Pounder” road trip—think keys-in-hand cruise to SEMA with badges and Semafest perks—plus Rob’s cursed-but-fun weekend (bank card fraud, a cranky 944 speedo, and one life-changing smash burger).

Rob tees up an Ask Rick crossover for The MuscleCar Place: Bob Lutz on EV inevitability and Rick Schmidt’s response. Then it’s a Dukes of Hazzard rewind—“State of the County”—where Daisy’s new flame carries fireworks, Boss J.W. Hickman is played by Larry D. Mann (yes, Yukon Cornelius), and an Oak Ridge Boys cameo caps a leaf-strewn car-chase episode (call it 6–7 Corn Dogs). Sponsors: Holley has fall deals; NPD keeps the parts coming. Hit play for the full Dallas timeline, the Vegas plan, and all the laughs we didn’t spoil.

Movie Recap: Stroker Ace

If you love Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball Run, WKRP in Cincinnati, Gomer Pyle, and Days of Thunder, this movie might be for you… maybe.

Stroker Ace is like a mashup of every 80s cult favorite — minus the darkness of Deliverance (except for Ned Beatty), and with none of the high-octane realism of Days of Thunder. It’s wildly inappropriate by today’s standards, filled with sexual innuendo, confederate flags, and glorified nonsense — but it still makes us laugh.

When Hal Needham called, Burt Reynolds answered… and created a legendary box office flop that lives on in NASCAR movie history. Why?
Because he was driving the Fastest Chicken in the South.

Directed by:
Hal Needham

Starring:
Burt Reynolds
Ned Beatty
Jim Nabors
Parker Stevenson
Loni Anderson

Released: 7/1/1983
Produced by: Warner Bros AND Universal Pictures
