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.

A 1960s Holiday Adventure
In this festive, retro-themed episode, Craig, Kenn, Ron, and guest host Randy swap stories about holiday shopping in the 1960s. Ron and his younger brother Randy revisit one of their family’s most legendary tales—five-year-old Randy’s epic struggle to make quick decisions, thanks to his intensely analytical mind, and the surprising consequences that followed.
During a long day of shopping, their parents try motivating the kids—Ron (8), Randy (5), and Sandy (3)—with the promise of a toy at the end of the trip. While Ron and Sandy eagerly snatch up their prizes, Randy’s endless deliberation tests everyone’s patience, ultimately costing him his toy and earning him an unforgettable lesson.
Ron and Randy share several hilarious moments from childhood that highlight a young Randy’s analytical (and often comically slow) approach to decision-making.
Join us for a nostalgic, laugh-filled journey back to the days of childhood, family shopping trips, and holiday memories!
