K&F Show #342: Rise of AI Corndog! Surviving General Lees, Lost VINs, and a Vintage Chat with Bo Duke Himself, John Schneider!
The Kibbe and Friends ShowShow Notes
What happens when Corndog takes a week off and his digital twin takes over? You get AI Corndog — a surprisingly sarcastic, eerily accurate clone that somehow knows every surviving General Lee by VIN number and still manages to roast Bernie mid-sentence. In this week’s episode, Rob and Bernie navigate a wild mix of technology, nostalgia, and good ol’ car talk as they lock in SEMA 2025 plans, revisit a few listener voicemails that should’ve stayed buried, and share behind-the-scenes updates on Dallas’s race prep for Las Vegas.
But the real horsepower hits in the back half of the show with a Patreon-exclusive deep dive into the surviving screen-used General Lees, guided by the encyclopedic mind of Corndog himself. Then, for dessert, the guys crack open a vintage interview with John Schneider — a fan-favorite throwback where Bo Duke talks about filming the final jumps, correcting paint mistakes on the reunion cars, and the hidden realities of life on set. It’s equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and totally “Hazzard.”

Welcome back to Hazzard County—and happy 66th birthday to Producer Bernie McPartland! It’s the perfect automotive birthday for a guy whose favorite Chevelle is a ’66. We celebrate with repurposed birthday decorations, questionable snack cakes, embarrassing pictures, and birthday messages from friends including Clay Millican and Mike Finnegan. Bernie even gets a trivia game built around himself. Surely he can win that one!
Welcome back to Hazzard County! This week we’re reviewing The Dukes of Hazzard Season 2, Episode 8, “Hazzard Connection,” and this one is exactly why I love Season 2. Real driving, hard hits, wonderfully sloppy production details, and a plot where stolen racing engines are apparently the criminal currency of choice. What more could you want?
Welcome back to Hazzard County! This week, we start with Cale Yarborough’s famous fight after the 1979 Daytona 500 and a more recent NASCAR confrontation. That leads us into a conversation about racing, the headlines it makes, and how a new generation of drivers builds an audience through video.
Mike Finnegan sent us something that none of us had ever seen—or even heard of—before: a forgotten 1983 television adaptation of Six Pack. Intended as a pilot for a weekly series based on the Kenny Rogers movie, it starred a pre-Miami Vice Don Johnson as race car driver Brewster Baker. Markie Post, Jennifer Runyon, Billy Warlock, and a very young Joaquin Phoenix rounded out a surprisingly recognizable cast.
Welcome back to Hazzard County! This week, we confirm that Days of Thunder 2 is officially moving forward and discuss whether Tom Cruise can convincingly put Cole Trickle back behind the wheel of a NASCAR Cup car. We also share an update on our uncertain Moparty plans, the people representing K&F at the event, and why my General Lee will probably remain safely at home.
