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.

  • Crying Wolf and ATV Riding
    Mar 23 2026

    Kenn and Ron look back at the 1980s and the early days of ATV riding—when exploring the woods meant real risk and there were no cell phones to call for help if something went wrong.

    Ron tells a story about riding Honda ATC 90 three-wheelers with his dad in the woods of northern Michigan. Their ride takes a dangerous turn when a truck and trailer cut them off on a narrow forest trail, forcing his dad off the road and down a steep embankment in a violent crash.

    There’s just one complication: Ron’s dad had a long-standing reputation for dramatic reactions to even minor bumps and bruises. In the family, it was almost routine to assume he was exaggerating whenever he claimed he was hurt—much like the classic boy who cried wolf.

    After the crash, his dad insists he can’t move, so Ron calls for emergency help and gets him taken to the hospital. Surprisingly, doctors send him home with a clean bill of health and no broken bones, reinforcing the family’s belief that he might be playing things up again.

    The next day, during a trip to Ann Arbor, his dad rides in the back seat surrounded by pillows, groaning about every bump in the road—prompting Ron and his mom to quietly laugh themselves into hysterics.

    But the joke is on them. A second hospital visit reveals the truth: he actually had a broken sternum.

    The moral of the story? Don’t cry wolf… because when something really is wrong, people might not believe you.

    Another classic Boomers on the Edge tale.

  • Sibling Antics 2
    Mar 16 2026

    The adventures continue as guest host Randy joins Kenn and Ron for another round of outrageous childhood stories straight from the 1960s.

    Kenn kicks things off with a family “game” their mom introduced—one that put their love of snacks to the test. Forget competitive eating contests… the Coney Island hot dog challenge has nothing on a living room showdown involving an impressive number of cheese puffs crammed into eager mouths. It was messy, competitive, and absolutely unforgettable.

    Following up on the fan-favorite Sibling Nighttime Antics episode, Randy shares his side of the story about Ron’s so-called “character-building” techniques. Ron insists his big-brother tactics were simply preparation for the real world. Randy might describe it differently. Ah yes… 1960s brotherly love at its finest.

    From learning grocery store jingles (accompanied by “motivational” taps) to mastering the art of dodging surprise pillow attacks from above, these stories capture the wild, unsupervised, and hilariously chaotic world of growing up with siblings in the ’60s. You either learned fast—or got flattened.

    Another nutty, laugh-out-loud episode from Boomers on the Edge!

  • Sibling Nighttime Antics
    Mar 9 2026

    It’s another hilarious flashback to the 1960s, when the Buds were just little kids and bedtime was strictly 8:00 PM — whether they were tired or not. Of course, sleep was the last thing on their minds. Causing chaos? That was a different story.

    Ron kicks things off with a mischievous memory of convincing his much younger brother to go on a “top secret” mission. While their parents entertained guests, Ron saw an opportunity: maybe a snack raid on the kitchen. But his true plan? Outfit his unsuspecting little brother with a sheet for “camouflage” and send him straight into trouble. What happens next is pure sibling strategy — and classic 1960s consequences.

    Kenn follows with a tale from a darker place — literally. He and his twin brother dreaded bedtime, thanks to their former Marine dad’s firm rule: door shut tight, lights completely off. The twins’ nightly mission became cracking the door open just enough to let in a sliver of light. Let’s just say Dad was not amused… and discipline was swift.

    Both stories end the way many 1960s childhood escapades did — with one sibling taking the fall while the other hid quietly, relieved it wasn’t them this time.

    Relive the laughter, the mischief, and the unmistakable parenting style of another era.

    Boomers on the Edge once again takes you on a nostalgic ride down memory lane.
