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.

Sibling Nighttime Antics

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.
