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.

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.
