Boomers on the Edge
Before smartphones. Before social media. Before anyone thought to record the evidence.
Boomers on the Edge is a weekly storytelling podcast where two lifelong friends revisit the wild, reckless, and often unbelievable adventures of their youth. Kenn and Ron trade stories from the 60s, 70s, and 80s — the mischief, the bad decisions, and the close calls that somehow didn’t kill them.
From gritty Detroit bars and summer days on the lake to high school locker rooms and blue-collar job sites, every episode blends sharp improv, vivid memories, and outrageous true tales.
It’s unfiltered nostalgia — raw, irreverent, and laugh-out-loud funny.
If you like your comedy honest, slightly inappropriate, and full of “there’s no way that really happened” moments… welcome to the edge.

Guest host Keith joins the show to help recount one of the most legendary Boomers on the Edge stories—the night at the Duchess.
It’s late, they’re underage, and the Buds (John, Keith, Ray, Kenn, Craig, and Ron) have wandered into the Duchess, a notoriously grimy Detroit strip bar. It’s Kenn’s very first time in a place like this… and his reaction does not disappoint.
While most of the Buds rush to claim their spots around the stage, Kenn and Ron hover awkwardly near the entrance, trying to process the scene. Before long, Kenn starts whispering to Ron that the bar is “scummy”—a whisper that quickly escalates into his unmistakable “passion voice.” Within moments, he’s shouting across the bar, “They’re all scum!”
Ron panics, patrons turn, and the bouncer decides he’s seen enough. With a looming brawl on the horizon, he boots the entire group out in one sweep. And just like that, the Buds’ night is over.
This episode is pure comedy from start to finish—a true Boomers on the Edge classic. Buckle up—it’s a riot from start to finish.
