The Kibbe and Friends Show

This week on The Kibbe and Friends Show, we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of what we proudly call the greatest car movie ever made — Tommy Boy. With the release of the new 4K edition and the incredible restoration of an original movie car by director Peter Segal (now appearing at MCACN 2025), we knew it was time to bring this one back in a big way. The guys dig into fresh stories, behind-the-scenes moments, and long-lost trivia before re-running their original Tommy Boy review from Episode 126.

Bonus Interview: Steven Thompson, "The Detail Kid!"

KF Faithful, we break from our regular programming for this standalone KF Bonus show! If you need something to boost your spirits this week and give you a little hope for the future....this is just want you need.

This month for our Patreon audience we did our Member Only show, but with a twist; we were joined by our newest $20 Patreon Member for his fun one-on-one session. Even better, he did his interview with us from his bedroom....after he got home from school!

Meet Steven Thompson from Idaho, the world's youngest certified car detailer! He has followed in his father's footsteps in the detailing business and along the way has traveled coast to coast detailing cars, airplanes, and also teaching people far older than him how to do the same. Better yet, he listens to this show for the same reason that nearly all of you do as well: he LOVES the Dukes of Hazzard! After this interview all three of us were in a far better mood that (frankly) left us all hopeful for the future. It'll likely do the same for you!

This month we chose Steven as our most Deserving Pateroner as well, and his membership for May will be on our dime. We encourage you to follow his socials and his YouTube channel as well:
