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 Randy is back with another unforgettable tale from the 1970s.
As young teenagers, Randy and his buddy Johnny hatch a bold plan: a double-blind date while Johnny’s parents are away for the night. With the house to themselves, the boys “borrow” a little liquid courage from Johnny’s dad’s liquor cabinet and pass the time engaging in some classic ’70s teenage mischief—perched on the roof, laughing, and making questionable decisions.
Soon, the girls arrive on their bikes: one a well-known school beauty, the other a star athlete… and significantly taller than either Randy or Johnny. That’s when Johnny drops the bomb—Randy’s date for the night is the athlete, who stands a solid six inches taller than the boys.
In true teenage wingman fashion, Johnny promptly disappears into the next bedroom, cranks up the music, and locks the door—leaving Randy to fend for himself.
What happens next is an awkward, chaotic, and painfully funny encounter that ends with a split lip and a story that has become a true Boomers on the Edge classic.
