Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (UP) is known for its breathtaking beauty, wildlife, and a few creatures that can make your skin crawl. But nothing prepares you for an encounter with the infamous UP Tick! Kenn and Ron are joined by guest host George for two unbelievable, laugh-out-loud stories about getting up close and personal with these tiny, blood-sucking invaders. Ron kicks things off with a trip to a remote, off-the-grid hunting cabin where he and his buddies wake up to discover they’re practically covered in ticks. In a panic, they do their best to pick the little critters off before deciding that the best solution is a good old-fashioned wash in the nearby rushing river. And yes, this is happening in the freezing cold of April! But the real fun begins when Ron’s 350-pound friend Eugene returns from his river bath. Knowing Eugene has a reputation for being a little sensitive about his masculinity, Ron can't resist commenting on how good he looks with his body glistening in the sunshine. What follows? An extremely angry Eugene chasing Ron around the cabin while their buddy Vince laughs uncontrollably! Then George shares his own UP adventure. While scouting a potential hunting area with his family, the group gets attacked by ticks. Convinced they've managed to remove every last one, they head off in search of the only restaurant around. Inside the small, local establishment, four big UP lumberjacks are enjoying drinks at the bar while George and his family settle in for a meal. Everything seems perfectly normal until George’s brother heads over to the pool table and suddenly starts screaming, "I've got a tick in my rear end! It's biting me!" He insists George accompany him to the bathroom to help get it out. But when they get inside, things take a turn for the truly bizarre. His brother drops his pants and demands immediate assistance. George is down on his knees trying to locate the offending tick when, at the worst possible moment, one of the lumberjacks walks in! You just can't make this stuff up! Two UP adventures, an army of ticks, one very awkward bathroom encounter, and plenty of laughs. More unbelievable, but absolutely true stories from Boomers on the Edge! Adult themes.
