Boomers on the Edge takes a wild ride back to the 1980s as Kenn, Craig, and Ron relive some truly terrifying boating experiences on Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River. Each of the Buds shares a tale of danger that proves one universal truth: trouble on the water almost always starts when you trust someone else to be in charge.

Kenn recalls his days on the college rowing team, when a distracted coxswain nearly steered them straight into a barge. To this day, nobody knows what he was staring at.

Craig tells the story of a fishing trip gone wrong after a friend invites him onto a tiny 15-foot boat that had absolutely no business being on Lake St. Clair or the Detroit River—especially when a massive freighter nearly sucks them under.

Ron shares his now-legendary Sea-Doo disaster: invited out by a neighbor on a stormy day, he finds himself stranded in open water with a dead Sea-Doo, an approaching thunderstorm, and lightning closing in. Should he stay on the Sea-Doo or jump in the water? The rescue only gets stranger when they rush to shore—right into a condo complex—where they take shelter on a stranger’s porch…until the door opens and a robe-clad man who looks like he stepped out of a 1970s porno invites them inside.

It’s a dangerous, hilarious, and unforgettable boat ride down memory lane.

More outrageous locker room stories from the 1970s—when it was a different era and the rules of mischief were, let’s say, flexible. Fan-favorite “California Beautiful,” the school track star from Episode 3, makes a triumphant return and once again wreaks havoc on an unsuspecting coach.

Having learned well from seniors like California Beautiful, chaos quickly follows. Craig enthusiastically “welcomes” the new freshman athletes with classic locker room towel-snapping, herding them into the infamous towel cage as hilarity erupts.

Then comes one of the Bud’s most legendary stories—the story of all stories. During a track meet, Craig locks himself inside the announcer’s booth, cranks the volume to maximum (so loud that even nearby baseball games can hear), and begins providing his own wildly inappropriate play-by-play. His colorful and over-the-top commentary—especially about the famously self-promoting pole vaulter “Glom”—sends the crowd into uncontrollable laughter while the coaching staff reacts in absolute horror.

Described by Ron as one of the funniest things he’s ever witnessed, total chaos breaks out as the coaching staff scrambles to shut it down and chases Craig around the venue.

A true Boomers on the Edge classic.

In this episode, guest host Keith joins Craig and Ron to reminisce about a friendship that began in kindergarten in the 1960s. The stories go way back—so far back that Keith and Craig once lived next door to each other and even shared their very first bath together as one-year-olds.

The conversation then turns to a legendary tale involving the Buds—Kenn, Ray, John, Keith, Craig, and Ron—and a Friday-night tradition at Carmens, an all-you-can-eat restaurant famous for its fish. Kenn, in particular, took full advantage of the deal. Because the restaurant required plates to be completely cleared before serving more, Kenn would discreetly hide uneaten French fries under his napkin. The staff quickly learned to dread his arrival, knowing they were about to lose money on the sheer amount of fish he could consume.

Kenn would settle in for hours, loosening his belt and even slipping off his shoes to maximize comfort—and capacity. One night, as the feast dragged on, one of the Buds decided to end the smorgasbord with a prank, making off with Kenn’s prized Adidas Country shoes. The result? A 50-year-old mystery that remains unsolved to this day. Who stole the shoes?

Join us for a laugh‑filled stroll through old friendships, 1970s traditions, and the unforgettable night the shoes went missing.
