K&F Show #361: Easter Traditions, Spring Returns // Dukes VIDEO Review S1E8 “The Big Heist”

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.

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.

K&F Show #357: Duvall Tribute, Dallas Takes 3rd in Nationals, and Daytona Drama! // Dukes VIDEO Review S1E5 “High Octane”

This episode of The Kibbe & Friends Show delivers a full Phase 4 blend of heart, horsepower, and Hazzard County as we celebrate the life of Robert Duvall, recap Dallas Kibbe Racing’s latest national event run, and dive headfirst into one of the strongest early Georgia-era Dukes episodes ever made — Season 1, Episode 5: “High Octane.”

Before we get to Hazzard, the guys reflect on the passing of Robert Duvall and his unforgettable presence in automotive cinema — especially Days of Thunder. From Daytona 500 reactions to racing rule debates and short track chaos, Rob brings a full Dallas Kibbe Racing update, including brake failures, podium finishes, and real-world racing lessons from a five-day national event. It’s real racing talk mixed with the usual KF nonsense.

Then it’s time for the Dukes Review — and “High Octane” might just be the Georgia-era sleeper hit. Uncle Jesse breaks probation for patriotic reasons (moonshine-as-fuel, naturally), Boss Hogg plots to steal the credit, and we get introduced to Sweet Tilly — Jesse’s legendary moonshine-running Ford LTD. Add in one of the hardest early-season General Lee jumps ever filmed (over a semi on Georgia Highway 20), a one-episode revenue agent, and some serious Charger nerd deep-dives from Corndog, and you’ve got an episode that reminds everyone why the Georgia-filmed shows just hit differently.

The guys break down:
• The semi-truck jump and which General Lee likely paid the price
• Georgia filming locations and production details
• The debut of Sweet Tilly
• Early Boss & Rosco Laurel-and-Hardy chemistry
• Why this episode feels like the true send-off to the Georgia era

It’s vintage Dukes storytelling with modern car-guy commentary —
exactly what Phase 4 was built for.

K&F Show #353: Quitters Day 2026 and Killer Racing SIM Rigs // Dukes VIDEO Review S1E2 “Daisy’s Song”

Welcome to Episode 353 of The Kibbe & Friends Show — and yes, this is the second show of 2026, which means we’re officially back to doing what we do best: talking cars, talking nonsense, and occasionally learning something by accident. We kick things off with Quitters Day (the second Friday in January when New Year’s resolutions go to die), debate the nation’s fittest and fattiest states, and then I take you inside my newest obsession: building a full-blown racing sim rig at home with real force-feedback hardware, a real race seat, and even a vibration unit so you can feel rumble strips in your bones. It’s part race car, part erector set, and entirely ridiculous.

Then it’s time for our Dukes of Hazzard review, now available on YouTube as part of Phase 4 of the show. This week we’re breaking down Season 1, Episode 2, “Daisy’s Song,” one of the original Georgia-filmed episodes. Daisy discovers her song has been recorded — but she never got paid — which sends Bo and Luke undercover to shut down a full-blown record piracy operation run by Boss Hogg himself. This episode delivers major Dukes lore, including why the General Lee’s doors are welded shut, plus some of the earliest and best screen time for both the General and Daisy’s Roadrunner. Final score from all of us: a unanimous 10 out of 10.

K&F Show #352: Goals for 2026 and KF Phase Four Begins!! // Dukes VIDEO Review S1E1 “One Armed Bandits”

With 2026 officially underway, Episode 352 sets the tone for a bigger, broader year ahead for the Kibbe & Friends Show. Rob kicks things off with stories from a frozen Yellowstone adventure that included snow coaches, snowmobiles, and the kind of mechanical failure that feels right at home on this show. The guys also dig into a questionable General Lee listed on eBay, breaking down what’s wrong, what doesn’t add up, and why details matter when it comes to Dukes history.

From there, the crew goes all the way back to the beginning with a review of The Dukes of Hazzard pilot episode, “One Armed Bandits.” This first outing is far edgier than most fans remember—more Smokey and the Bandit than wholesome family TV—with bar fights, crooked politics, and Daisy Duke causing trouble from the start. Rough around the edges but packed with nostalgia, this episode lays the foundation for everything that followed, including the iconic jump over Sheriff Roscoe’s car that became part of the show’s opening credits for years to come.

KAF Show #351: Special Edition Christmas Break Show! // Dukes Review S3E13 “Duke vs Duke”

The Kibbe & Friends Show brings back a classic this week with a rebroadcast of one of our all-time favorite Dukes of Hazzard episodes: Season 3, Episode 13 – “Duke vs. Duke.” Released in 1981 during peak-series glory, this one throws Bo and Luke into the Hazzard County Derby—against each other. When Cooter wipes out and can’t drive, Luke steps behind the wheel of Cooter’s big-block Chevelle while Bo straps into the General Lee. Pride kicks in, egos flare, and suddenly the cousins aren’t just racing cars… they’re racing each other.

From nitrous-bottle shenanigans courtesy of Roscoe, to Ma Parker’s muscle, to some of the best stunt driving the series ever filmed, this is everything we love about the Dukes wrapped into one episode. The Chevelle vs. Charger showdown, jumps, pipe-ramps, engine notes, broken parts, and that unforgettable backwards-finish stunt make it a perfect 10 episode in our book. Settle in and enjoy the ride—this is Dukes gold.

K&F Show #349: Toys for Tots 2025 and Pastrana’s Wildest Gymkhana Yet // NEW Dukes Christmas Review: S3E7 “The Great Santa Claus Chase”

In Episode 349 of The Kibbe & Friends Show, the crew battles a few Christmas-season technical gremlins before diving straight into holiday tradition: revisiting The Great Santa Claus Chase, the one and only official Christmas episode of The Dukes of Hazzard. Rob, Corndog, and Bernie bring their signature blend of nostalgia, humor, and heart as they walk through why this episode still delivers all these years later—car chases, small-town charm, and classic Hazzard County holiday chaos included. Along the way, they also recap this year’s Toys for Tots campaign, revealing how a well-timed triple-match day turned listener generosity into more than $6,700 of impact.

The guys then shift gears into full automotive pop-culture mode with an enthusiastic breakdown of the brand-new Travis Pastrana Gymkhana film, shot entirely in Australia and packed with jaw-dropping stunts. From Pastrana’s all-wheel-drive Subaru Brat “Bratteroo 9500 Turbo” to the level of cinematography and stunt precision that would make Ken Block proud, the team can’t stop raving about it. Add a weather report, some trademark KF tangents, and holiday movie teasing for next week, and Episode 349 becomes the perfect mix of Christmas spirit, horsepower, and pure KF fun.

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.
