K&F Show #271: Guitar Hero with Car Horns; Dukes Review S1E9 “Limo One is Missing”

Presented by Holley! Phase 3 of Kibbe and Friends is officially here, and Holley is back for more fun, foolishness, and flying orange Chargers!

BIG NEWS: The fall events at Holley are just around the corner and Holley MOPARTY is less than 60 days away. We’ll be there and you should be too! We are ONCE AGAIN the media partner for the General Lee jump, too!

Visit this website RIGHT NOW to get details and tickets: https://moparty.com. We will see you there!

K&F Show Summary: Finally – the political Dukes episode we’ve been waiting for! Kinda. If there was an episode that could combine Nathan Warren with Ben Jones portraying Cooter, this would be it. Cooter – with God’s blessed skills – steals President Jimmy Carter’s car.Bo and Luke get him out of it, but not before using their smoking hot cousin to position herself as a faux-prostitute to distract the bad guys. Who are the bad guys in this one you ask? Boss Hogg – who has a car theft and chop shop ring. And Boss thinks his guys stole the car and wants it recovered to meet Jimmy Carter personally, but in the end it’s Uncle Jesse that gets the call of thanks from the Oval Office. And before the episode is over we will once and for all know whether Boss and Uncle Jesse are Republicans or Democrats. The 2024 Presidential race had nothing on this!

Presented with Holley! Holley makes everything it seems including the most needed – AND NECESSARY – component of the modern Dodge Challenger; the pistol grip shifter!

KF Show Summary: If there is a car movie more cultish than the original 1971 film “Vanishing Point,” we don’t know about it. This is the movie that listeners have requested we review for years and for absolutely no reason it’s just never happened. Until now. With the recent passing of Kowalski himself (actor Barry Newman) we decided the time had come to give it it’s due. The thing is, of our trio none of us was really a hard core fanatic of the movie. We all had seen it at least once, but that was about it. Thankfully Greg Hagemann, our expert from the KF Patreon gang, stepped up to help…..and then just took over so we wouldn’t screw it up. He knew the movie inside and out and was armed with facts for days about the artistic side of the movie as well as the nerdy automotive side. He even owns and drives a “modern” Kowalski Challenger to back up his street cred. 10 Dogs.

KF Show Summary: Just a year after debuting, the Dukes was now so popular that it was the launch point for spinoff series. about a Texas Ranger named Jude Emery who “cut it a little different” but could “still cut it!” Jude came to Hazzard to arrest hijacker Snake Harmon complete with a non functional gun, a guitar that was really a suitcase, and a Korean War surplus transport vehicle that runs so poorly that Jude keeps a horse saddle in the back just in case. This is another example of the Dukes of Hazzard debuting a fantastic idea that would later go on to be reality elsewhere (I’m looking at you, Chuck Norris). This is quite possibly the *coolest* episode of the Dukes ever made! Some episodes are bigger on stunts and some are shorter on shorts, but none are as cool and as fun. Also, Dick York from Bewitched is in here as temporary Sheriff Grady Bird (because James Best was on strike), and actor Sam Melville makes his first appearance as a bad-guy-of-the-week (he’ll be back in two more episodes). Rating: 10 Corndogs!

Friends, after the debacle in the February Patreon Show our man Corndog put Kibbe on suspension for one single show. Luckily it was with full pay, full benefits, and zero accountability. Kibbe will be back next week! In the meantime, as many of you have requested, pull up a chair around Uncle Corndog to hear the REAL story of the Wheelstander General Lee, built by Richard Sephton at the tail end of the filming of the Dukes of Hazzard TV series. This is the REAL story of the car….and is a little different than what you hear recently on the VinWiki YouTube channel.

Corndog’s Dukes Review: Well, this is kinda how I see it… y’all are all about some Hallmark movies this time of year… so this was about the closest thing to it….“An independent strong-willed girl comes to town… she falls in love with a local boy who is sometime wild and hard to tame. He falls in love with her too, but knows that it’s gonna be hard to change his ways and settle down. But wait… ole girl’s ex-boyfriend followed her into town and doesn’t want to see the new relationship flourish! So local wild boy steps in to protect ole girl and save her honor. They kiss… tell each other how much they love each other…… and then she skips town, never to be seen or heard of again”.

Dukes Review: Somehow, an episode that has next to no General Lee in it…..is so endearing and charming it must be due to Christmas magic! In this episode they choose to re-enact the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol. (FYI – everyone in Hollywood now does this. Bill Murray did it in Scrooged. Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds just did it too in Spirited. It’s on Apple + and is pretty good!). Not good enough? This is the tale of Scrooge Hogg stealing Christmas trees from Hazzard citizens and the Dukes stealing them back to deliver them in Santa suits. Not good enough? In a nod to childlike happiness, the bad guys in the episode also wear Santa suits….meaning there are 6 Santas at one time. When the bad guys in Santa suits get caught, Cletus calls them “Merry Men!” The Boars Nest is decorated, proving that Christmas decorations at dive bars make them extra cheery. Better yet, there are carols, hot chocolate, and this episode ends on a message of what Christmas is all about – unconditional forgiveness…..topped off by some jingle bells flying overhead by (possibly) a certain jolly old Elf.

TMCP #517: Mike Finnegan Returns – Behind the Scenes of Cleetus McFarland’s Bristol 1000!

This week marks the return of friend and listener favorite Mike Finnegan! Mike is an all around great dude, loved in the automotive entertainment industry, and was the original co-host of the Kibbe and Finnegan Podcast Show (which became Kibbe and Friends in 2019). This week marks the end of the second phase of our sister show “The Kibbe and Friends Show” where we reviewed the final episode of all 7 seasons of The Dukes of Hazzard. Since Mike helped it all begin, I asked him on to celebrate hitting the big milestone. (Kibbe and Friends isn’t going away however, now we get to go back and hit all of the early episodes that Corndog loved most….and maybe build a few more Dukes stunt cars!)

Dukes Review: Rob’s Summary…I was in 5th grade when this episode originally aired. I sadly didn’t understand it all coming to an end at that time as a kid, and now as a near 50 year old adult it seems just as hard but yet totally for different reasons. For the last six and a half years we have made a show about a show, and I for one have loved it! Anyway, enough with the sappiness. This is the final episode of the Dukes, John Schneider finally gets to write and direct something…..my High School Nova reappears one last time….and the General Lee actually gets hurt – from, a jump! The stunts are grossly limited as you’d expect from a cancelled show, but nonetheless the plot must go on. So…here’s the plot: there’s a Hazzard County talent show at the Boar’s Nest and Rosco has a magician’s act that supposedly makes Boss disappear. But when Boss actually gets kidnapped the Dukes must rescue him from two stone cold killers….so that Boss can get back in time to rescue Roscoe’s broken heart.

Dukes Review: KF friends, we are on the dawn of reviewing the final episode of the Dukes of Hazzard. We knew this day would come. The Dukes of Hazzard changed SIGNIFICANTLY over the course of 7 seasons, and so has the Kibbe and Friends show! Accordingly, and because we needed a bonus show this week anyway, here is a look back on our very edition of the KF first show – and first review of the first sever Dukes of Hazzard episode, One Armed Bandits. It’s corny, it’s weird, and it’s way different than how it it all wrapped up. Same as the KF Show. KF Show Phase 3 begins in October 2022!

Dukes Review: The classic tale. Boy pines after girl, girl thinks of him as a friend, boy saves girls life over and over again…girl thinks of him as a friend again, boy once again saves girls life, girl proposes out of guilt, boy declines out of rightful pride, then everyone decides to get married, and then boy gets hives out of a reaction to happiness. The wedding is then cancelled until the 1997 reunion show where it will be on again…until it’s canceled again. If I didn’t know better I’d say this show was going to be over soon. This is a boring episode for the most part done with little to no stunt budget, but at least there are NO miniature cars used.
