Listen, I tried so hard not to cry recording this episode. Today George Boone and I are talking about grief, the thing that HR loves to pretend can be solved with a three-day bereavement policy and a sad little “OOO.”  But grief is messy and human and shows up everywhere: in how you work, lead, love, set boundaries, and literally get out of bed.  George and I both carry losses that changed us forever, and instead of shoving that into the corporate void, we're unpacking what it actually means to keep showing up while your heart is busy learning a whole new shape.  It's honest. It's tender. And somehow…it's also hopeful. Teamtailor is the fun, intuitive ATS that candidates actually like and recruiters don't dread opening on Monday mornings.

Malibu Express (1985) was chosen by Patreon supporter Herb, who has mastered the art of selecting premium-grade, sun-bleached 80s glamour for the show. Written and directed by Andy Sidaris, the film was part of his long-running “Bullets, Bombs and Babes” cycle — a collection of action-comedies known for fast cars, glamorous models, and plots that take a distant back seat to the spectacle. Produced on a modest budget, the movie was shot largely around Malibu and Los Angeles, using Sidaris's signature mix of real locations, Playboy Playmates, and outrageous action beats. Sidaris, a former sports TV director, carried over his love of dynamic camera movement, helicopter shots, and glossy production values, giving the film a surprisingly polished look despite its low-budget roots.Behind the scenes, Malibu Express was a family operation. Andy Sidaris worked closely with his wife, Arlene Sidaris, who produced many of his films and helped build the distinctive “L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies” brand that would later define his work. The cast was a mix of rising models, stunt performers, and cult character actors — all encouraged to keep the tone light, playful, and unapologetically over-the-top. The movie embraced the early-80s explosion of VHS demand, engineered specifically to appeal to video-store thrillseekers looking for bikinis, guns, fast boats, and pure escapist nonsense. While critics dismissed it, Malibu Express became a staple of late-night cable and home video, paving the way for Sidaris's even more outrageous follow-ups like Hard Ticket to Hawaii.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:⁠⁠⁠NordVPN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NordPass⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryBuckle up… because the sun's out, the boats are fast, and the shirts are nowhere to be found.Meet Cody Abilene — part detective, part playboy, and full-time trouble magnet. When a simple job turns into a whirlwind of bullets, bikinis, and beachside chaos, Cody cruises into danger with nothing but his wits, his charm, and a cowboy hat that refuses to quit.Malibu Express — where the action is hot, the engines are loud, and the mystery is mostly an excuse for more explosions.Fun FactsMalibu Express was the first film in Andy Sidaris's “Triple B” series, which later included cult favorites like Hard Ticket to Hawaii, Picasso Trigger, and Savage Beach.Lead actor Darby Hinton was best known at the time for playing Israel Boone on the classic TV series Daniel Boone before reinventing himself as an 80s action-comedy star.The iconic red DeLorean-style sports car Cody drives in the film is a Sterling Kit Car, built on a Volkswagen chassis to give the illusion of a futuristic supercar on a budget.Although set in Malibu, many interior scenes were filmed in Sidaris's own home, a common cost-saving tactic he used throughout his career.The movie features early appearances by Sybil Danning and Kymberly Paige, who later became regulars in Sidaris's L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies universe.Malibu Express was a major VHS hit, with video rental stores frequently placing it in their “top 10 rentals” thanks to its eye-catching artwork and 80s sex-comedy-energy.Sidaris employed a small but consistent stunt team, meaning some action performers appeared in nearly every film he made throughout the decade.The mansion used for exterior shots belonged to a real Malibu millionaire, who allowed filming in exchange for a small role and a producer credit.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this moving conclusion to our Daniel Boone series, host Mike Martin retraces the closing chapter of the legendary frontiersman's life. As Boone settles in Missouri's wilderness, far from the land he once blazed, we uncover how time, loss, and reflection transformed one of America's greatest trailblazers into a man of quiet wisdom. Through history, storytelling, and mindful insight, Mike explores Boone's final adventures, his encounters with grief and aging, and the enduring peace he found in the wild spaces that defined him. This episode invites listeners to reflect on how we measure a life well-lived — not by what we conquer, but by what we learn to let go.

In this episode, we head deep into the Appalachian spine to uncover one of America's most enduring mountain mysteries: the Wood Booger. Known across Southwest Virginia and neighboring highland communities, this legend reaches back long before European settlers ever set foot on these ridges.Indigenous nations carried generations of warnings about wild men in the forest—the Monacan and Mannahoac spoke of untamed beings in the woods, and Cherokee stories told of Tsul ‘Kalu, the slant-eyed giant who watched from the highest places. These accounts weren't bedtime tales. They were cautionary history.We open with a startling story tied to the final chapter of Daniel Boone's life. In his last year, Boone reportedly confided a secret he'd kept for decades: an encounter with a ten-foot-tall, hair-covered creature he called a “Yahoo.” We dig into the historical trail behind this claim, drawing from John Mack Faragher's landmark Boone biography and Theodore Roosevelt's writings on Boone's Kentucky expeditions to weigh what's legend, what's record, and what still refuses to fit neatly into either. From there, we travel to Norton, Virginia—modern ground zero for Wood Booger research. This tiny mountain city, the smallest independent city in the state, has built a surprising identity around the creature. We explore the region's coal-mining roots and the eerie stories miners carried out of the tunnels beneath these ancient mountains. We also visit nearby Saltville, where humans have mined salt for thousands of years—and where reports of something unexplainable have echoed just as long. The investigation then turns to one of the most talked-about pieces of evidence in recent memory: the 2009 Beast of Gum Hill video. When Chuck Newton captured footage of a massive biped stepping out of the Washington County treeline, the clip drew national attention—and eventually brought the Finding Bigfoot television crew to Southwest Virginia. We revisit the town hall they hosted at the Palmer Grist Mill in Saltville, where the turnout stunned everyone: hunters, hikers, families, and a teenager who described being struck by a rock moments after locking eyes with a dark figure on a hillside. We break down decades of witness descriptions to build a composite profile of the Wood Booger—its reported height and muscular build, the powerful odor so often mentioned in sightings, and the vocalizations that roll through hollows at night.You'll hear accounts from hunters encountering something impossibly close in tree stands, truck drivers watching a hulking form cross Route 23 at three in the morning, and a woman outside Bristol who met the creature in her headlights on a quiet back road near Mendota. The scientific discussion brings us to the work of the late Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum, who examined hundreds of footprint casts and argued that certain evidence was extraordinarily difficult to dismiss. We look at reported dermal ridges, the mid-tarsal break that doesn't match human foot anatomy, and hair samples that have resisted definitive identification while showing traits consistent with primates.We also ask the bigger question: why Appalachia? With landscapes over 400 million years old, heavily forested terrain (West Virginia alone is nearly 80% woodland), and massive networks of caves and underground passages, this region offers remoteness in plain sight.Add abundant food sources, low population density, and a deep culture of silence, and you get a place where encounters could remain unreported for generations.Some of the most powerful moments come from childhood witnesses—people who saw something before they had words for fear or disbelief. One woman recounts being eight years old when she locked eyes with a creature across a creek behind her grandparents' home. Instead of dismissing her, her grandmother sat her down and told her about the hairy man who had lived in these mountains longer than anyone could remember.We close in Norton, where the city has openly embraced its Wood Booger heritage: a council resolution declaring Norton a Wood Booger sanctuary, a seven-foot statue at Flag Rock Recreation Area, the Wood Booger Grill on Park Avenue, and an annual festival that brings visitors from across the country. What was once a struggling coal town has reinvented itself around a legend many locals never doubted was real.This episode is dedicated to the witnesses who carried their encounters in silence—afraid of ridicule, isolation, or being labeled crazy. The hunters who came home shaken and quiet. The hikers who saw something on the trail they could never unsee. The kids who weren't believed when they tried to tell the truth. You're not alone. You're not imagining things. And your story matters.

In this gripping continuation of the Mindful Legends of the Frontier series , host Mike Martin dives into the most defining — and devastating — chapter of Daniel Boone's life. Captured, tested, and transformed by hardship, Boone's years on the frontier were filled with loss, perseverance, and self-discovery. In this episode, Mike explores how Boone's trials — from isolation and betrayal to the deep grief of personal tragedy — forged a man of unshakable resolve and timeless mindfulness. Through vivid storytelling, historical accuracy, and personal reflection, Mike draws powerful parallels between Boone's endurance in the wilderness and our own struggles with uncertainty, pain, and inner growth. This episode is a meditation on what it means to face life's storms with grace — and how even in the harshest wilderness, the spirit can find peace.

In this premiere episode of the Mindful Legends of the Frontier series, host Mike Martin steps deep into the wilderness of early America to explore the remarkable life of Daniel Boone — not just as a frontiersman, but as a symbol of mindfulness, resilience, and courage in the face of the unknown. Through a mix of historical storytelling and personal reflection, Mike traces Boone's early years — from his Quaker upbringing in Pennsylvania to his first steps into the Kentucky wilderness. Along the way, he uncovers how Boone's quiet strength, connection to nature, and sense of purpose became a mirror for his own journey toward mental clarity and healing. This isn't just a story about a pioneer — it's a meditation on how adventure, solitude, and struggle can shape the human spirit.

Everyone knows about America's 13 original colonies… but did you know there was almost a 14th? In 1775, a private land deal known as The Transylvania Purchase sought to create a brand-new colony in the rugged mountains where Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee meet. Frontiersman Daniel Boone carved the Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap, opening America's first true gateway to the West. But the plan was tangled in conflict with Indigenous nations, colonial governments, and the Revolution itself. In this episode of Parkography, Jason explores the rise and fall of the Colony of Transylvania, the battles that defined it, and how the Cumberland Gap went from a dangerous frontier to a National Historical Park that tells the story of America's earliest westward expansion.
