K&F Show #161: Dukes Fan to Stunt Man: Interview with Stunt Driver Jamie Smith and MOPARTY Preview of His All New Crown Victoria General Lee! Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

Holley is the official EFI source for Kibbe and Friends and is the PROUD sponsor of this episode! As mentioned we will be onsite at their BRAND NEW MOPAR EVENT Sept 18-20 in Bowling Green. In addition they have released a brand new Gen III Hemi Sweepstakes to boot! Click on the link below to enter: https://bit.ly/Holley392-Sweepstakes

This is a SPECIAL EDITION of the KF Show! Our star producer Bernie is home from the hospital and recovering so we decided to bring in Jamie Smith for a feature interview and discuss his path to stunt driving as well as his plans for MOPARTY. Jamie was once just a Dukes of Hazzard fan like the rest of us. He was inspired to be the "two wheel ski" guy after a discussion with Gary Baxley and had the desire to see it go further. This interview is the story of teaching himself to drive on two wheels, driving "BumbleBee" in the Transformers movie, and in prepping his Crown Vic General Lee #6 for the upcoming event at MOPARTY. He'll be there to jump his GL - twice - and ski it as well! Why does he build Crown Vic's instead of using real Chargers? Because....he's a fan. He doesn't want to kill another Charger!

Patreon Peeps, the year 2020 will be an important one for Patreon specifically, and if you'd consider jumping up to the $5 level it would sure help. The $10 level will remain and we now have a brand new $20 level as well!

K&F Show #160: The All New RAM TRX – Raptor Killer? Summer Movie Fan-Vote ReRun: Smokey and the Bandit! Aug 20, 2020

Show notes

Summer Movie Re-Run: You asked for it and you got it! Our final Summer Move Re-run was voted on by fans....and it's a re-run of the Kibbe and Finnegan review os Smokey and the Bandit in 2017 - KAFS Episode #31. 2017 marked the 40th anniversary of the movie so we chose to break it down in just the way you think we would: focusing on Gleason's most inappropriate yet fantastic swear-laced-liners and talking about flying Trans Am's. Quite frankly, without Smokey and the Bandit the Dukes of Hazzard would never have been a reality. As a total bonus, there are THREE future Dukes of Hazzard stars in this movie as well. This movie is a perfect 10 our of 10 corndogs!

K&F Show #159: Chris Holstrom – Award Winning Car Builder and COVID-19 Survivor; Dukes of Hazzard S5E12 Review “A Little Game of Pool” Aug 13, 2020

Show notes

Chris Holstom: COVID-19 Survivor. Since the KF show is built around automotive and pop culture topics we decided to do a culture specific discussion with Chris Holstrom from Chris Holstrom Concepts in Seattle. Chris and his team have built award winning cars for years and he's an awesome guy. Recently he, his wife, and his young children all were infected by COVID-19! They are on the back side of it now....and while everyone's symptoms are different we thought it would be helpful to hear from a trusted voice on what it's really like. Think of this as a selfish quest for information that just happens to be a public service.

Dukes Review: S5E12 - The Treasure of Soggy Marsh. Sheriff Little proves once again that the only competent lawman on this show is African American. He's the only person that ever seems to actually catch the Dukes! The stunts are great. At the end of the show the General jumps into a pond. There might be an airboat in here somewhere. That said, after the last episode though I have emotionally moved on from the Coy and Vance era of this show. I pulled a clip of Rosco doing a sampler reel of all of his sounds. I guess that was funny….and ironically, it sums up all of the Coy and Vance episodes somehow. Meh. 4 Corndogs.

K&F Show #158: Bo’s Extravaganza Feature Interview; Dukes of Hazzard S5E11 Review “A Little Game of Pool” Aug 05, 2020

Show notes

Holley is the official EFI source for Kibbe and Friends and is the PROUD sponsor of this episode! Their Terminator Stealth system on my General Lee is killing it. There's a BRAND NEW MOPAR EVENT listed on their website that you need to save the date for as well: Sept 18-20 in Bowling Green, KY. Hint - there's a General Lee jump! https://www.moparty.com

This is the one that made the 9-year old me hate the characters of Coy and Vance. Up until now, I haven’t minded them, and even found getting softer to them. No more. Clearly, the show writers were told that this episode has one star and one star only; the General Lee. The car gets major love in the episode, so much to the fact that the words "General Lee" are spoken about 8 billion times. But then Vance went and said something the completely rubbed me the wrong way…..which I believe cemented the exit of Coy and Vance and the return of Bo and Luke. Wanna know what it is? "The General Lee is ours." Wrong, Vance. Wrong!

K&F Show #157: Corndog’s Trip To John Schneider’s Birthday: Jumping a “Bandit” Challenger! Jul 23, 2020

Show notes

Corndog's Summer Vacation: We don't have a show review for you this month...because our man Corndog spent the previous weekend at John Schneider's 3rd annual birthday bash. The event was postponed from April until now (due to the COVID-19), but as was the case last year the feature part of the event involved jumping a car - on film - for an upcoming project. John is filming a Smokey and the Bandit tribute movie called "Stand On It" and the star car of that film was a modern Dodge Challenger painted black with a screaming chicken on the hood a "modified" roof to resemble T-Tops. Friend of the show Jamie Smith did the jump with Jack Gill and (as you would expect) Corndog supporting the entire endeavor. Get in line folks. We'll all be working for Corndog someday. Enjoy!

K&F Show #156: Lyric Debate – Revved Up Like a Deuce; Dukes of Hazzard S5E10 Review “The Great Insurance Fraud” Jul 16, 2020

Show notes

Dukes Review: "The Great Insurance Fraud" Boss entered the second oldest profession - insurance sales. Similar in morals to the most oldest profession. If you get my drift. Anyway, a` Duke’s birthright is the ability to drive well. They can "hold their own" with anyone and they never give that up. Yet in this episode, Coy does. (Side note - Bo Duke would never have done that.) He did it because of pride - and a moral compass - but what’s interesting is this quickly turns into a theme we'll later see be a major part of the 1986 Blockbuster movie Top Gun. Remember after Maverick kills Goose from showboating and feels super bad about it, and then Viper says to keep sending Maverick up? It ends like that. So I think Top Gun ripped off the Dukes, a Season 5 Cory and Vance episode no less.

Patreon Peeps, the year 2020 will be an important one for Patreon specifically, and we have decided to retire the $1 and $2 levels completely. If you're still at those levels you can keep them - but if you'd consider jumping up to the $5 level it would sure help. The $10 level will remain and we now have a brand new $20 level as well! All members who join at that level will receive a sticker swag pack in the mail, you'll be IMMEDIATELY entered in the monthly prize grab, and you'll receive a phone call from one (or all) of us to chat up whatever you want for 30 minutes!

K&F Show #155: KibbeLee Can Autocross Sideways; Finnegan’s Favorite Summer Movie Review – Megaforce Jul 09, 2020

Show notes

Kibbe's Trip To GoodGuys with Chevelle and Kibbe Lee: COVID-19 or not, the 2020 Good Guys Heartland Nationals event actually did happen....and it was awesome! I've heard rumors that #KibbeLee was given grief for having the flag on the roof. None of that was true...at least not to my face....but the event was not completely without incident. Overall, a car show was a safe place to enjoy the car. Listen in for details.

Movie Review: Hal Needham's "Megaforce" This is a "rebroadcast" from Episode 36 of our review of the Hal Needam directed movie Megafoce. Finnegan suggested (more like insisted) that we do it. I (Kibbe) hated it then, and I hate it now. Anyway, here's the good news: the movie has lots of crazy vehicles, a few funny lines, and stars Edward Mulhare who would go on to play "Devon Miles" from Knight Rider. Here's the bad news: there's really no other good news of note. The movie ends with a flying motorcycle on a green screen, and Barry Bostwick wears a spandex (or lycra?) suit with no regards for underwear. Finnegan gives it 8 lazer-guided corndogs. Kibbe gives is a generous 3. Hijinks Ensue.

Patreon Peeps, we will be at the Holley OPARTY event this September! Please come join us on the evening of September 18 to hang! Also, we would really love to grow our Patreon audience to the next level....because Lord knows that shows like ours are subject to lots of outside forces.

You can join in for as little as $5/month, but our higher levels come with fairly awesome benefits. The $10 level will remain and we now have a brand new $20 level as well! All members who join at that level will receive a sticker swag pack in the mail, you'll be IMMEDIATELY entered in the monthly prize grab, and you'll receive a phone call from one (or all) of us to chat up whatever you want for 30 minutes!

K&F Show #154: Kibbe’s Trip to Bobby Ore Stunt Driver School Jul 03, 2020

Show notes

Kibbe's Trip To Bobby Ore Motorsports: This is it! Kick back and listen in to every second of the experience that was Bobby Ore Motorsports Stunt Driving School. Can front wheel drive Ford ZX2's really be fun? Answer - yes! Can Bobby Ore at age 71 drive better than anyone you've ever seen in your life? Yes! Did Kibbe FINALLY get to jump a car and put it on 2 wheels? NO....but 180's, box 90's, and reverse 180's are all super fun!

K&F Show #152: Kibbe’s Going to Bobby Ore Stunt Driver School; Dukes of Hazzard S5E9 Review “Enos in Trouble” Jun 17, 2020

Show notes

This episode also presented by Big Red Camaro! Tune in to Amazon Prime to watch Season 2 of the Big Red Series. We will do some giveaways of the Build Book next month using clues from the series!

K&F Show News: First of all....we understand that this show is a timely release during a tough time in our country. We discuss what you think we're going to discuss in here (the confederate flag) as best we can. Also discussed....a bucket list dream for Kibbe is about to come true. He's going to Bobby Ore Stunt Driver School this weekend! Listen in for details!

Dukes Review: "Enos in Trouble" Say what you will about these Coy and Vance episodes, but the stunts are totally awesome and off the charts. We can barely recall what this episode was actually about, but it matters not. The General jumps a water truck, a log, some construction equipment, and each time successfully lands in our hearts. Paux Baxley episodes are light on plot and heavy on flying cars. We approve.
