The Kibbe And Finnegan Show

The Kibbe and Friends crew is back with another automotive movie deep dive, this time connecting the dots between American Graffiti, Dazed and Confused, and the entire cruising culture that shaped generations of car people. Rob, Corndog, and Bernie dig into why American Graffiti still works over 50 years later, from the unforgettable cars and soundtrack to the feeling of freedom and youth that George Lucas somehow bottled perfectly on film. Along the way, the guys break down the similarities between John Milner and Wooderson, revisit some of the greatest cruising scenes ever put on screen, and reflect on why movies like these continue to resonate with anyone who grew up around cars, parking lots, drive-ins, and late-night bench racing with friends. There’s also plenty of the usual K&F chaos mixed in with movie trivia, George Lucas facts, Days of Thunder references, and more random automotive pop culture rabbit trails than should probably fit into one episode. If you’ve ever spent a summer night cruising

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 episo

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, h

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

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

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 s

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 s

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

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

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 discov

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 Sw

Rob is in Florida this week with Dallas kicking off his 2026 racing season at Auburndale Speedway in Winter Haven. It’s a five-day national Legends tournament — practice, qualifying, and racing every single day — with Dallas running the Semi-Pro class in the white #13. The goal this season is simple: run the biggest Legends events possible, graduate up and out of the class, and take the next step forward in his racing career. While that action unfolds in real time, we’re setting the stage for Daytona week the best way we know how. To celebrate the Daytona 500, we’re revisiting our full review of Days of Thunder — still the greatest racing movie ever made. Yes, it’s “Top Gun in a stock car,” and that’s exactly why it works. We break down the racing roots of Cole Trickle, the Harry Hogge mentorship arc, the real NASCAR influences behind the film, and why quotes like “Rubbin’, son, is racin’” still live rent-free in every race fan’s brain. Released in 1990, directed by Tony Scott, and starring Tom Cruise, Robert

This episode of The Kibbe & Friends Show brings the show back to its Phase 4 sweet spot with a full-on Dukes Review of one of the best early Georgia-era episodes of The Dukes of Hazzard: Season 1, Episode 4 — “Repo Men.” It’s the perfect mix of simple Hazzard County storytelling, big laughs, and the kind of car-nerd details that only this show obsesses over — right down to the General Lee quirks, the Waylon “balladeer” narration, and why this episode still matters in Dukes lore. Rob Kibbe, Justin “Corndog” Cornette, and producer Bernie McPartland break down why “Repo Men” is a fan-favorite: Bo and Luke get pulled into a crooked car-dealer scheme involving a Rolls-Royce repo, a counterfeit ring, and some truly savage stunt payoff. Along the way, the guys spotlight what makes the Georgia episodes special — the chemistry between Bo and Luke, the early-series simplicity, and the wild practical stunts that feel like they could never happen the same way today. And of course, Corndog goes deep on General Lee sp

This episode of The Kibbe & Friends Show delivers a long-overdue review of Ford vs Ferrari, a modern racing classic that has become required viewing for car fans everywhere. With Daytona season approaching and January’s auction buzz still fresh, the timing couldn’t be better to revisit the story of Ford’s battle against Ferrari at Le Mans and the people who made it happen. It’s a film that captures the emotion, danger, and obsession behind endurance racing while telling a powerful human story along the way. Rob Kibbe, Justin “Corndog” Cornette, and producer Bernie McPartland break down why Ford vs Ferrari works on every level — from Christian Bale’s unforgettable performance as Ken Miles, to the tension between racers and the boardroom, to the brutal reality of 24-hour competition. The GT40 becomes more than just a car, it becomes a character, and the movie becomes more than just a race film. It’s a story about passion, sacrifice, and the cost of chasing perfection at full throttle. The post K&F Show

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

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 year

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. The post KAF Show #351: Special Edition Christmas Break Show!

Episode 350 is a Christmas-season milestone for The Kibbe & Friends Show, and the guys deliver exactly what the week before Christmas calls for: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation with all the extra flavor only K&F can add. Rob, Corndog, and Bernie celebrate the “small block Chevy” episode number, clink moose mugs, share the good news that Holley is back for 2026, and recap a successful Toys for Tots push—setting the table for a holiday episode that feels equal parts tradition, gratitude, and pure fun. From there, the crew dives into why Christmas Vacation still works no matter how many times you’ve seen it. They talk about aging from Rusty into Clark Griswold, revisit the scenes that still make them laugh every single time, and swap favorite moments that prove it’s not about the plot—it’s about delivery, timing, and how real the chaos feels. Along the way, they sprinkle in car-guy details, Vacation lore, and a killer behind-the-scenes nugget about a scripted ending that never made the final cut.

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 Bloc

In this week’s episode of The Kibbe & Friends Show, the crew kicks off the Christmas season with one of the most beloved holiday films of the modern era: Elf. Rob, Corndog, and Bernie dive deep into what makes this 2003 classic so timeless—from Jon Favreau’s intentional “Rankin/Bass meets live-action” style, to the practical effects and forced-perspective tricks that give the movie its handmade, storybook charm. They break down everything from Buddy’s fish-out-of-water innocence in New York, to Zooey Deschanel’s vintage-inspired performance, to the behind-the-scenes choices that turned a goofy comedy script into a heartfelt family movie that has joined the ranks of A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation as a true annual staple. But being K&F, the review doesn’t stop at plot and characters—the guys treat Elf like a full-blown car movie. They dig into the real New York City Crown Vic taxis Buddy dodges throughout the film, talk P-codes and wheelbases, and then go full “Corndog Spec Ops” on the five
