K&F Show Summary:

Two bad guys steal Mr. Belding’s (from Saved be the Bell) car and then heist a U.S. Mail truck full of little-old-ladies Social Security checks. But that’s not important right now, because this is the episode were we discuss the eternal question: if you believe in heaven, can you buy or earn your way in? Well Boss believes in heaven…and when he mistakenly is told he’s dying, but tries to right all of his wrongs by doing good deeds to earn his salvation. And when he finds out he isn’t dying later, he takes all of his good deeds back. There aren’t a lot of stunts in this episode…..but there’s a LOT to discuss. This may be the most morality questioning episode of the Dukes that’s ever been made!

TMCP #571: Jono Shaw, Hemmings Gets Into The Auction Business And Makes It Easy To Get The Car You Want With Frictionless Marketplace

This week I spoke to Jono Shaw, President of Hemmings Motor News, to find out more about the new buying service called the “Frictionless Marketplace.” For anyone who has bought a car online sight unseen it can be a little unnerving when you “win” the auction and are then left to figure out how to get the car legally, safely, and paid for without the fear of getting completely ripped off. To put it bluntly, this service is meant to put some teeth to the “wild-west” that has become common in buying a car line and put Hemmings into the mix to prevent the possibility of fraud.

K&F Show Summary:

Note: In honor of Valentine’s Day 2024 we gave Bernie the keys to the show and told him to make a re-run episode! Listen in for a rundown of whatever Valentine’s Day stuff that Bern came up with….which is probably super duper weird, but kind of adorable too. Following that is a re-broadcast of our review of “Cleetus Falls in Love” from KF Episode 252. Godspeed. -Kibbe and Corndog 

Poor Cleetus makes the mistake of being #MeToo’d by Daisy Dukes, and his heart has to pay the price until she finally confesses to using her sexuality for personal gain. Poor Cleetus. But, love know no boundaries – and just like Cleetus we all have to take the high road and go on to date a bank teller anyway. This episode features Sheriff Little and is the second episode after the shift to the wide push bar General Lee. Also noted in this episode, no-one suffered from food poisoning and was stricken with vomiting and diarrhea for 4 hours straight.

K&F Show Summary: 

This is the Dukes of Hazzard episode that shows in America, democracy still works.. until the next episode when democracy will be forgotten, because in Season 2 long-lasting consequences only last exactly one episode. Smoke-show married mom “TC Rodgers” returns to Hazzard to run for county supervisor, a job held by Boss Hogg that has a number of privileges, including being the probation officer for Bo and Luke Duke. Bo and Luke help the smoke-show mom because 1) it’s the right thing to do, 2) they think she’s a smoke show, and 3) they do not know she’s a married mom. In helping her win an election they also commit several FCC violations and perform electronic miracles by communicating via CB radio to people on telephones! And you know in the Blue Brothers with they put a loudspeaker on the Bluesmobile?  Well that bit came from this episode too. Anyway, the Smokeshow wins the election, her husband and kid show up, and in a week we’ll never hear from her again….just like the Iowa caucus as of today. See you in 4 years, losers.
