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.

In this Easter-themed episode of the Kibbe & Friends Show, we kick off spring the right way—with cars, stories, and a return to what makes this hobby so much fun. The guys cover everything from Easter traditions and food debates to behind-the-scenes stories in automotive media, including how content creation has evolved from rough early YouTube days to today’s polished productions. There’s even a surprise voicemail that sparks a hilarious and insightful conversation about the realities of building a show and finding your place in the automotive world.
From there, we jump into our Dukes of Hazzard review of Season 1, Episode 8, “The Big Heist.” A desperate farmer robs Boss Hogg and accidentally implicates Bo and Luke after stealing the General Lee, setting off a classic Hazzard County chain reaction. 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.
TMCP #642: Mike Finnegan Returns – Life After Roadkill & the YouTube Era
Mike Finnegan returns to The MuscleCar Place for a special edition episode, and as always, he brings the stories, honesty, and perspective that only he can deliver. From his early days on Roadkill to becoming a full-time YouTube creator with Finnegan’s Garage, Mike shares what life looks like after the 2024 shutdown of Motor Trend productions.

Along the way, Mike shares his thoughts on Cletus McFarland’s impact on NASCAR, the future of shows like The Grand Tour, and why real chemistry—not scripted production—is what truly makes automotive content work.
K&F Show #360: Spring Break Banter & Future Car Rumors // Movie Review, “The Other Guys”
This week on the Kibbe & Friends Show, Rob Kibbe, Justin “CornDog” Cornette, and Bernie “Broke Wing” McPartland revisit one of their favorite comedy movie reviews — The Other Guys starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. Originally featured back in Episode 290, the film remains a perfect blend of absurd comedy and automotive moments, highlighted by the unforgettable red Prius police car and the completely dysfunctional detective duo trying to live up to the legend of the “real” hero cops. The crew revisits the movie’s most memorable scenes, quotes, and ridiculous moments while breaking down why it still holds up as one of the funniest buddy-cop comedies ever made.
Before diving into the movie rewind, the guys warm things up with their usual off-the-rails banter — covering everything from St. Patrick’s Day trivia and spring break plans to a few eyebrow-raising future car rumors spotted in a recent Car and Driver article. That includes reactions to a possible Corvette SUV, a Mustang Raptor, and the rumored return of the Hemi V8 in the Dodge Charger. As always, the conversation drifts through car culture, pop culture, and plenty of laughs before rolling into the movie review that anchors this week’s episode.
TMCP #641: Scott Bowers – Ron Francis Wiring – Wiring a Hot Rod the Right Way
Scott Bowers from Ron Francis Wiring returns to The MuscleCar Place to talk about the art—and reality—of wiring hot rods the right way. With decades of experience helping builders bring everything from garage projects to award-winning show cars to life, Scott shares why thoughtful wiring design makes all the difference. Instead of generic “universal” kits, Ron Francis Wiring focuses on engineered systems built around real-world setups, ensuring builders get harnesses that make sense and actually work the way they should.
Along the way, Scott shares behind-the-scenes stories from the SEMA Show, dives into the surprising rise of the Ford Crown Victoria as a hot-rodding platform, and busts one of the most common electrical myths in the hobby—why installing a high-amp alternator won’t “overcharge” your system. It’s a fun and practical conversation filled with real-world tech knowledge that every builder—from first-time project owners to seasoned fabricators—can appreciate.
K&F Show #359: Spring Break Confusion, “This Week vs Next Week” // Dukes VIDEO Review S1E7 “Luke’s Love Story”
In Episode 359 of The Kibbe & Friends Show, the guys head back to The Dukes of Hazzard Season 1 with a review of Episode 7, “Luke’s Love Story.” The story centers around the annual Hazard County Obstacle Derby, where Luke enters the General Lee against a new challenger — Amy Creevy and her black Mustang, “Lucifer.” The episode blends racing, romance, and sabotage as Amy’s jealous ex-boyfriend attempts to take her out of the race while Luke struggles with his own misguided ideas about relationships. The result is a strange mix of love story and demolition-style stock car racing that only early-season Dukes could deliver.
Despite the awkward romance storyline, the crew finds plenty to enjoy in the episode thanks to the racing action and early California production style. The Hazard Derby delivers some great car footage, including the General Lee battling through the obstacle course and plenty of raw stunt driving that helped define the show’s early seasons. Rob, Corndog, and Bernie also dig into behind-the-scenes details, including the surviving Georgia-built General Lees still being used during these early California episodes and the unique cars created for the race. In the end, the episode earns mixed reactions from the crew, but the racing and stunt work keep it memorable for Dukes fans.
K&F Show #358: Dallas Late Model Racing, and the 4AM Smoke Alarm Disaster // Dukes VIDEO Review S1E6 “Swamp Molly”
In typical K&F fashion, things quickly spiral into chaos. Rob gets woken up at 4 AM by a smoke alarm only to discover water pouring out of it thanks to an upstairs bathroom flood. Bernie delivers weather with the energy of a town historian reading a plaque, the guys run through another round of Celebrity Automotive Ancillary Birthday, and a brutally accurate job-interview PSA reminds everyone that some people really do belong in the HR complaint file. Rob also shares a proud dad update as Dallas gets seat time in a late model on slicks, learning one of racing’s biggest lessons: smooth inputs, tire management, and the reality that when the grip goes away… you just learn to work with it.
For the Dukes Review, the crew heads back to Season 1, Episode 6 — “Swamp Molly.” This episode marks the beginning of the crisp California look many fans associate with the show. When old family friend Swamp Molly calls in a favor from Uncle Jesse, the Dukes agree to help run what they believe is moonshine — only to discover the cargo is actually a truckload of illegal firearms. The episode delivers classic early-season action including an ice cream truck disguise, swamp landings, Rosco’s outrage at “un-American” crime, and plenty of General Lee driving. The guys also dive into production details like early General Lee quirks, background car spotting, and the raw stunt work that made the early seasons feel so authentic.
TMCP #640: Ask Rick — Green Cars, Tariffs on Taiwan, Chinese EV Rumors, and the Best Trucks to Buy Now
This month on Ask Rick, Rick Schmidt from National Parts Depot joins us for a St. Patrick’s Day edition covering everything from green cars and Guinness to real-world business questions. We discuss whether presidential addresses truly move the needle for business decisions, what the current tariff situation looks like on Taiwanese restoration sheetmetal, and how NPD is handling pricing in real time. We also dive into the growing conversation around Chinese electric vehicles entering the U.S. market — and whether joint ventures with American automakers make that inevitable.
Plus, Rick tackles a thoughtful listener question about selling a company to employees with no family successor, and we close with a truck-heavy investment showdown: custom builds under $75K and which ones make the smartest five-year bet. Insightful, practical, and always honest — it’s classic Ask Rick from start to finish.
