FEATURE INTERVIEW with DAVID FREIBURGER: We’re as shocked as you are. Five-and-a-half years after launching this show with Mike Finnegan we have finally landed his (one time) boss, mentor, adventurer, and Roadkillinginly cool buddy David Freiburger! David has become a staple in the automotive media landscape having spent 20-plus years in print before he ever came to YouTube and Television. He just recently penned his final piece for the February 2022 edition Hot Rod Magazine and last year filmed 61 individual episodes for various shows on the Motor Trend platform (Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, Engine Masters, etc.).
In this discussion you’ll learn what we all really wanted to know about living life in the fast lane, working a seemingly endless schedule, and never getting the chance to completely finish any project. Like us, David grew up believing that 1968 and ’69 Chargers were it when it came to the all invulnerable muscle car, as powerful as it is cool looking, as desirable to others as it faithful to its owner.
He enjoyed the Chargers of The Dukes of Hazzard (and has stories to tell), Dirty Marty Crazy Larry, and others, but his favorite is the one that he and Finnegan built together: General Mayhem. If you’ve followed that car over the years you know it has gone from a motorhome powered drifting underdog to a Hellcat powered drag car. David loved the first iteration of it and he’s just recently put it back to it’s original glory.

K&F Show #205: Shorty Header for Marty McFly’s TOYOTA; Dukes of Hazzard S6E19 Review “Close Call for Daisy”
Presented with Holley! For some reason, this show and Holley go together like tires and smoke – a perfect fit! We are happy to announce that we have signed a long term arrangement with Holley as Title Sponsor of this wacky show for the next year.

Dukes Review: There’s a plot. Too much plot, some good shots of the General, a cool jump or two…..and then I forget. The IMDB guy got it mostly right. Daisy gets confused by a hypochondriac mobster for being a nurse because she was in a church play that required extra short nurse outfits. And she switched her book of lines for the play with his book of illegal business and ill gottenness. So there’s that. The General Lee had carbon buildup, which is dumb, backfired, and then the whole episode is dealing with said hypochondriac. Luckily, Corndog found a detail on a GL with a 273 small block and nitrous!

KF SHOW Summary: Episode 200 is upon us….and so is Finnegan. Bernie and i had hoped this would be the intervention to get Finn and Corndog on (at a minimum) decent terms together. That fizzed, then failed. At least it was entertaining along with way. Tune in for a full run down of where we started, what we succeeded in, which sponsors came and went, and why Dodge Chargers are good for everyone. Thanks for coming back for our anniversary show, dude!

Dukes Review: You had me at two part episode. In the entire Dukes series run we’ve only had this happen two other times, in fact! There are faux stock cars with factory Oldsmobile burgundy dashes, random weird sitings of NASCAR Champ Terry Labonte, and chimpanzees as crew members. 1984, you never looked so good.
Anyway, Bo and Luke – in less than 20 seconds – choose to leave Hazzard and serve their government for a complete and total stranger with the goal of putting a corrupt mob boss behind bars for good. The only problem…..they have to leave the farm – and Uncle Jesse – to do it! Worst of all, they can’t tell a soul why or else their loved ones will be KILLED gangster style. Daisy loses it, because she’s out of the loop on the truth……and she’s really freaked out that Coy and Vance are coming back. Aren’t we all.

Dukes Review: The preview shows jumps, cars sliding in a junkyard, and more jumps. You had me at junkyard. Luke’s long lost love (named Candy Dix – no joke) from his days in the Marines arrives. She’s now a huge Country and Western star of course and she has an abusive manager that would love to see her dead because her life insurance would pay off his gambling debts. The classic story, I know. Watch out for this guy – he’s a trickster – and he’ll be on an episode of Knight Rider in about 10 months driving the evil KARR, KITT’s twin (yet evil) brother.
Anyway, Bo and Luke get rid of the abusive manager, jump some stuff, cruise a junkyard with a Karmann Ghia in it, and then Tom Wopat sings at the end which I assume was part of the deal that brought them back in Season 5. It’s a good episode. Why? Because stunts solve problems people. They just do. And – there is an outside chance this is the same plot for the second Dukes of Hazzard reunion movie. 6 Corndogs.

Dukes Review: Dukes Review: Just when you think the Dukes of Hazzard has invented everything in modern TV and movie pop culture we find out they invented another huge celebrity that is my secret shame to zen out to…..the PBS sensation known as….Bob Ross. That’s right, this is a show about paining happy little trees faster than the General Lee can go from ’68 to ’69 to ’68. Boss Hogg has local painter Artie Bender declared legally dead so he can sell his paintings for more money….and it works, proving that art is subjective to the point of stupidity. Anyway, Aritie Bender witnesses a robbery, Bo and Luke chase the bad guys, Artie is declared dead and can’t vouch for them, Sheriff Little tries to kill them, and it all works out in the end. 6 Corndogs.

This is the edition of the KF show that you Bernie McPartland fans have been waiting for. This is where Producer Bernie is fully in charge. Kick back and marvel at how he uses his 30 plus years of broadcasting experience to lay it on thick, saucy, and peppered with guilty yet endearing advertisements for our incredible sponsor Holley as well as our official KF Patreon show. The man is a pro!
Seriously though…we have encountered the 5-Wednesday month of June which for us means a really rare thing; a week off! Our Patreon show for June will air next week so we either needed to go radio silent this week or get one of us to actually work for free. Corndog refused, citing his contract, and then downing an all original 1972 jug of MOPAR washing fluid. Kibbe was gone but stated on his way out the door, “just have Bernie do it if we have to do this, dammit.” And that friends is all Bernie McPartland, 30-year professional radioman, needed to hear.
So kick back and tune in for Bernie on the News, pop culture updates, and about 30 minutes of some of the greatest hits from our recent Q&A Patreon shows. If you love it, let us know. If you hate it, just pretend it didn’t happen. Either way, thank Holley it happened….and then pony up and join us on Patreon (please please please)! Visit https://www.patreon.com/kfshow
Thanks Dudes and Dudettes. We’ll be ready to go on Patreon next week and back in the booth on after the 4th of July! The Deserving Listener Donation for June is the amazing artwork you see here, created by hand at Dirt Road Endeavors! Visit https://www.facebook.com/dirtroadendeavors to view more!
TMCP #469: Mike Finnegan Returns! Giant Passenger Flipping Tow Pigs, “Ludicrous Speed” Boats, and the Fun of Failing Uphill
This week, marks the return yet again of Mike Finnegan to give us an update on what has been happening around Finnegan’s Garage, on Roadkill, and on his recently renewed show Faster with Finnegan. Of course his most famous work was on the Kibbe and Finnegan Podcast. Seriously though, Mike has been a good friend over the years and it’s always a fun (and usually happily dumb) catchup.
TMCP #457: Mike Finnegan Returns – Zany 200 MPH Cadillacs, Hemi Powered ’55 Chevy’s, and YouTube Stardom Tricks!
This week I caught up with a very special friend of the show, Mike Finnegan. I met Mike on The Hot Rod Power Tour in 2015. That later fostered into a friendship that launched the Kibbe and Finnegan Podcast in 2016 (which today is the Kibbe and Friends Show). Mike’s best known as the host of popular automotive shows Roadkill (Motor Trend), Finnegan’s Garage (YouTube), and Faster with Finnegan (Motor Trend). More importantly than all that, he’s LOVES to make hilariously fun automobile projects with his friends and share them with the world. That’s the subject of today’s discussion!
K&F Show #167: Presidential Election Special; Dukes of Hazzard S5E16 Review “Coy vs Vance”
Holley is the official EFI source for Kibbe and Friends and is the PROUD sponsor of this episode! Visit holley.com and buy yourself a little something early for Christmas!
Fun: This episode features everything you need to know about the upcoming Presidential election. More accurately, who is running…and who isn’t. Do your duty, go out and vote, and don’t be fooled by some of the trick names we threw your way!
Functional: Tune in for a full 13 minute in person interview with Clay Millican at a recent NHRA event. 322MPH in under 3.5 seconds is a good thing.
Dukes Review: Amanda Horan Kennedy was the bad guy chick from the last episode. And she was something. And this episode has TWO bad guy chicks. That’s good. But more impressive than any of that – is that this episode contains 5 – count em – 5 brand new story specific General Lee jumps and epic 1 police car jump, into a pond, onto a pontoon boat, abandoned by a jumping stunt guy. Amen.
