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.

Fast Food, Exact Change and Synchronicity
Guest host Randy takes us on a hilarious trip down memory lane with two unforgettable fast-food encounters — one from behind the counter in the 1970s and another from the customer side in the 1980s.
First, we hear about Randy’s teenage pride and joy — his 1967 Chevy Nova II — and the fateful parking-lot standoff with his McDonald’s manager that ended with a torn-up paper hat and a pink slip. (Don’t worry — karma, and corporate, came for that manager soon enough!)
Then, as a customer years later, Randy finds himself in another fast-food fiasco — this time over a handful of olives at Subway and a perfectly counted pile of coins that sends a sandwich artist into orbit.
In both stories, synchronicity strikes when Randy unexpectedly crosses paths with his former foes, leading to laugh-out loud, full-circle moments you’ll have to hear to believe.
Get ready for nostalgia, comedy, and a reminder that sometimes the universe really does serve things up with a side of irony!
