K&F Show #366: Bo & Luke Become the Law // Dukes VIDEO Review S1E10 “Deputy Dukes”
Kibbe & Friends Show #366 revisits a classic Dukes of Hazzard episode the gang originally reviewed nearly 10 years ago — Season 1 Episode 10, “Deputy Dukes!” Before heading back to Hazzard County, the crew catches up on Corndog’s daughter graduating high school, Rob’s busy summer racing schedule with Dallas Kibbe Racing, and a surprising firsthand look at the new electric Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack. Bernie on the Weather debuts a hilarious new WKRP-inspired intro sponsored by Lexani Tires, Lionhart Tires, and Rolling Big Power Tires, while Corndog’s Tech Corner helps troubleshoot Mopar ignition problems on a 1972 Dodge Charger.
The guys also cover Hot Wheels collecting crazes, Tesla Cybertruck recalls, the upcoming Rockford Files reboot, and GM’s confusing LS6 revival before diving into “Deputy Dukes.” In this Season 1 favorite, Bo and Luke temporarily become deputies after Rosco gets suspended, only to find themselves trapped inside another one of Boss Hogg’s schemes. The crew breaks down the episode’s early-series charm, classic patrol car action, and the chemistry that helped make the Dukes of Hazzard such an iconic show.
K&F Show #365: The Presidential Limo Heist // Dukes VIDEO Review S1E9 “Limo One is Missing”
In this episode, we review The Dukes of Hazzard Season 1, Episode 9 — “Limo One is Missing.” It’s one of those early-season episodes that perfectly captures what made the show work before anything got overly polished. The setup is classic Hazzard County: the President’s limousine rolls into town, Cooter lays eyes on it… and steals it. Not out of greed, not for profit—just because he loves it. That one decision sends everything sideways, pulling the Dukes into a situation that quickly escalates from small-town trouble into something a whole lot bigger.
What makes this episode stand out is how real it feels. This is still early Dukes, where the cars are doing the work, the stunts are practical, and everything has weight to it. The presidential limo feels massive and out of place on dirt roads, and Daisy’s yellow Road Runner—making its final appearance—gets a proper moment to shine as part of the story. At its core, it’s a simple episode about fixing a mistake and doing the right thing, with just enough chaos, humor, and car action to remind you why this show has stuck with people for decades.
TMCP #646: Ask Rick – Memorial Day Muscle, Summer Flip Strategy, and Parade-Ready Classics
In this episode of The MuscleCar Place, Rob Kibbe and Rick Schmidt kick off May with a thoughtful look at Memorial Day—balancing its deeper meaning with the traditions that bring car enthusiasts together, from local parades to community gatherings. The conversation then shifts into the latest Dallas Kibbe Racing update, where steady progress on the track is matched by a big off-track milestone: a new presenting sponsor stepping in behind the program. From there, Rick delivers his signature straight talk on topics ranging from whether giving a car as a gift is a great idea or a logistical gamble, to the future of continuation builds like Revology and whether the Camaro comeback rumors hold any real weight.
The episode wraps with two fun but strategic car-buying segments. First, the guys pick parade-ready classics under $50K that can be enjoyed all summer without losing money. Then, with the budget removed, the focus turns to real profit—analyzing a ’92 Corvette ZR-1 as an undervalued opportunity, a 2000 Saleen Mustang as a niche play, and a ’71 Chevelle as the safest bet for consistent return. As always, Rick cuts through the noise with practical insight, making this episode equal parts car culture, market reality, and smart enthusiast thinking.
K&F Show #364: Special Edition Movie Review! Dazed and Confused (1993) – Last Day of High School in 1976
In this Special Edition episode, we shift gears from Hazzard County to a true cult classic—Dazed and Confused (1993). Set on the last day of school in May of 1976, this isn’t your typical movie breakdown. Instead of one central storyline, the film drops you into a full-on snapshot of teenage life—cruising backroads, chasing parties, navigating friendships, and figuring out what comes next when everything familiar suddenly ends.
We break down what makes this movie hit so differently, especially now. From the perspective of looking back on high school versus living it in the moment, the conversation digs into how the film captures that strange in-between phase of life—where you don’t yet know what matters, but somehow you’re right in the middle of it. There’s also plenty of discussion around the characters, including Randall “Pink” Floyd’s internal battle with expectations, Mitch Kramer’s brutal introduction into high school culture, and of course the unforgettable presence of Wooderson—who may or may not have ever actually graduated.
Naturally, we go deep on the cars—and this movie delivers. From the black Chevelle SS 454 to the orange GTO Judge, plus Trans Ams, Broncos, pickups, and everything in between, the car selection is as authentic as it gets. Nothing feels forced or out of place, and that realism adds to the entire experience. The soundtrack gets its due as well, with wall-to-wall 70s rock that drives the tone of every scene and eats up a surprising chunk of the film’s budget.
This is part movie review, part time capsule, and part reflection on what it all meant then—and what it means now. Whether you’ve seen it once or a hundred times, there’s something here that hits a little differently depending on where you are in life.
TMCP #645: John Kairys on AACF – Saving the Automotive Aftermarket When Life Hits Hard
In this episode of The MuscleCar Place, Robert Kibbe sits down with John Kairys, Executive Director of the Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF), to uncover one of the most impactful yet under-the-radar organizations in the industry. Since 1959, AACF has quietly provided financial assistance to individuals and families within the automotive aftermarket facing life’s toughest challenges—from illness and injury to natural disasters and unexpected hardship. With a fast and efficient process, they’re able to step in quickly and help people get back on their feet when it matters most.
What makes AACF truly special is its focus on community—helping the very people who keep the aftermarket moving every day. From technicians and warehouse workers to managers and corporate employees, AACF serves as a vital support system across the entire industry. This conversation highlights not only the organization’s mission, but also the real stories behind it, reminding us that at the heart of every build, every business, and every part is a person—and sometimes, that person needs help.
K&F Show #363: Special Edition Show! Legendary Dukes Stuntman Corey M. Eubanks’ Wildest Stunt Stories – Part 2
In Part 2 of our conversation with Corey M. Eubanks, we pick up right where things left off—and it doesn’t take long before things go completely sideways. Corey walks us through one of the most intense moments of his career during his time on The Dukes of Hazzard—a General Lee scene that was supposed to be controlled but turned into a full-speed collision that sent multiple stuntmen to the hospital. From there, the conversation dives into the realities of stunt work most people never see—operating on instinct with limited visibility, how communication breakdowns can change everything in an instant, and why fear is something to respect, not eliminate. After more than four decades in the business, Corey’s perspective is clear: the difference between a great stunt and a dangerous one often comes down to experience, discipline, and knowing when to check your ego at the door. We also get into his modern-day Crash School, where he’s teaching the next generation how to do what Hollywood never formally required—crash safely.
In the second half of the episode, we shift gears into a full breakdown of the 2004 film Starsky & Hutch—a movie Corey himself worked on. That means this isn’t just a review… it’s a behind-the-scenes look at what really happened during filming, including a stunt that didn’t exactly go as planned (and yes, it made the final cut). It’s part interview, part movie review, and all the chaos you’d expect when real stunt stories collide with Hollywood storytelling. Buckle up.

K&F Show #362: Special Edition Show! Legendary Dukes Stuntman Corey M. Eubanks’ Wildest Stunt Stories – Part 1
Corey M. Eubanks has spent over four decades doing what most people only dream about—and surviving it. In this episode of Kibbe & Friends, we sit down with the legendary stunt driver whose career spans everything from The Dukes of Hazzard to major Hollywood productions, where precision driving, split-second decisions, and a little bit of controlled chaos are all part of the job. Corey takes us back to the beginning, sharing how he broke into the stunt world, what it was like learning alongside the best in the business, and how real-world skills from boxing and rodeo translated into life behind the wheel.
Along the way, Corey opens up about the reality of stunt work—the pranks, the pressure, and the moments when things don’t go according to plan. From on-set chaos to hard-earned lessons, including a story involving Starsky & Hutch that proves even the best can have a bad day, this is a firsthand look at a career built on instinct and experience. And just as Corey begins to set up one of the wildest stories involving a Jeep and the General Lee, we hit pause—because what happens next deserves its own spotlight in Part 2.

Along the way, they talk Easter traditions, the evolution of car shows, and what a trophy actually means when it comes to value and credibility.
The conversation also dives into Rick’s unexpected take after touring Revology, a company re-engineering classic Mustangs with modern performance and refinement. To wrap it up, Rob and Rick throw down a challenge: if you had to buy a car today to win a trophy and break even when you sell it, what would you choose?

With standout early-season stunt work, real driving footage, and a memorable moment where Daisy puts the General on two wheels, this episode captures everything that made the show great. It’s simple, honest storytelling with just the right mix of action, humor, and heart.
