Boomers on the Edge

In this episode, guest host Keith joins Craig and Ron to reminisce about a friendship that began in kindergarten in the 1960s. The stories go way back—so far back that Keith and Craig once lived next door to each other and even shared their very first bath together as one-year-olds.

The conversation then turns to a legendary tale involving the Buds—Kenn, Ray, John, Keith, Craig, and Ron—and a Friday-night tradition at Carmens, an all-you-can-eat restaurant famous for its fish. Kenn, in particular, took full advantage of the deal. Because the restaurant required plates to be completely cleared before serving more, Kenn would discreetly hide uneaten French fries under his napkin. The staff quickly learned to dread his arrival, knowing they were about to lose money on the sheer amount of fish he could consume.

Kenn would settle in for hours, loosening his belt and even slipping off his shoes to maximize comfort—and capacity. One night, as the feast dragged on, one of the Buds decided to end the smorgasbord with a prank, making off with Kenn’s prized Adidas Country shoes. The result? A 50-year-old mystery that remains unsolved to this day.  Who stole the shoes?

Join us for a laugh‑filled stroll through old friendships, 1970s traditions, and the unforgettable night the shoes went missing.

Guest host Keith jumps in with Kenn, Craig, and Ron as they rewind to the 1970s for another round of math‑class chaos. Back in the same infamous classroom from Episode One—where Craig first unveiled his “artistic talents”—the crew relives two stories that have only grown funnier with time.

First up is Teddy, the class nerd, who dares to complain to the teacher about earning only 98% on his test. Ron, fed up with the whining, blurts out, “Come on, Teddy.” Teddy spins around and unleashes his fury—at the wrong student. He starts screaming at the football team’s quarterback, a guy who could flatten him in seconds, and even challenges him to a fight after school. The class erupts in laughter, things spiral out of control, and Kenn laughs so uncontrollably he’s told to step out if he can’t pull himself together.

Next, the “Buds” revisit the infamous day Kenn’s curiosity cost Ron dearly. After test results were handed back, Kenn abandoned his usual front-row seat and sprinted to the back of the room to check how everyone did. Spotting Ron’s test, Kenn grabbed it and ran to the teacher, proudly pointing out that he had the same answer—except Kenn’s had been marked wrong. The teacher promptly informed them that Ron’s answer was wrong too, resulting in Ron’s test score dropping to a D.

Ron is still complaining about it fifty years later.

Hilarious. Legendary. And proof that some math class moments never fade.

A New Years Tale

Ring in the New Year with a classic coming-of-age misadventure. Kenn and Ron—two well-meaning but famously inexperienced teens—think they’ve hit the jackpot when a pair of Pom Pom girls invite them to what sounds like an intimate New Year’s Eve party.

When they arrive, the girls’ parents greet them like model young men: stellar grades, National Honor Society members, one even class president. The parents couldn’t be happier to leave their daughter in such “responsible” company. Kenn and Ron take this as a great sign… until the doorbell keeps ringing.

One by one, a parade of older, sketchy, rock-band-looking guys flood the house. It doesn’t take long for Kenn and Ron to realize they weren’t the romantic leads in this evening at all, they were the decoy.

“The Pom Pom Girls” is a hilarious tale of teenage hope, hormones, and the harsh lessons of growing up—served with a heavy dose of New Year’s disappointment.

A 1960s Holiday Adventure

In this festive, retro-themed episode, Craig, Kenn, Ron, and guest host Randy swap stories about holiday shopping in the 1960s. Ron and his younger brother Randy revisit one of their family’s most legendary tales—five-year-old Randy’s epic struggle to make quick decisions, thanks to his intensely analytical mind, and the surprising consequences that followed.

During a long day of shopping, their parents try motivating the kids—Ron (8), Randy (5), and Sandy (3)—with the promise of a toy at the end of the trip. While Ron and Sandy eagerly snatch up their prizes, Randy’s endless deliberation tests everyone’s patience, ultimately costing him his toy and earning him an unforgettable lesson.

Ron and Randy share several hilarious moments from childhood that highlight a young Randy’s analytical (and often comically slow) approach to decision-making.

Join us for a nostalgic, laugh-filled journey back to the days of childhood, family shopping trips, and holiday memories!

Guest host Keith joins the show to help recount one of the most legendary Boomers on the Edge stories—the night at the Duchess.

It’s late, they’re underage, and the Buds (John, Keith, Ray, Kenn, Craig, and Ron) have wandered into the Duchess, a notoriously grimy Detroit strip bar. It’s Kenn’s very first time in a place like this… and his reaction does not disappoint.

While most of the Buds rush to claim their spots around the stage, Kenn and Ron hover awkwardly near the entrance, trying to process the scene. Before long, Kenn starts whispering to Ron that the bar is “scummy”—a whisper that quickly escalates into his unmistakable “passion voice.” Within moments, he’s shouting across the bar, “They’re all scum!”

Ron panics, patrons turn, and the bouncer decides he’s seen enough. With a looming brawl on the horizon, he boots the entire group out in one sweep. And just like that, the Buds’ night is over.

This episode is pure comedy from start to finish—a true Boomers on the Edge classic. Buckle up—it’s a riot from start to finish.

Kenn, Craig, and Ron return—and things get a little… fuzzy. Literally.

In this episode, Kenn dives into a wild piece of pop-culture news: Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS “Faux Bush” underwear line. Yes, you heard that right—G-strings with faux pubic hair, and apparently, they’re flying off the shelves.

The Boomers weigh in on this retro revival, sharing their reactions and swapping stories about the evolution of “the bush,” from the unshaven images they stumbled across as kids to the clean-shaven surprises they encountered at gentlemen’s clubs in Windsor, Canada during their early business days.

It’s a funny, nostalgic, and surprisingly enlightening stroll through decades of personal grooming trends—Boomers on the Edge style. Just like bell-bottoms from the ’70s, the bush is officially back!

Remember when sneaking a peek at a National Geographic felt like the height of scandal? In this laugh-out-loud episode, Kenn, Craig, and Ron take a cheeky stroll down memory lane, contrasting today’s “so what” attitude toward nudity with the wide-eyed wonder of growing up in the 1960s.

Kenn kicks things off with a headline he read: Jennifer Lawrence appeared fully nude in a film… and the public reaction was basically, “meh.” In an age where nudity is everywhere online, the shock, mystery, and taboo that once surrounded it have all but vanished.

That sets the stage for Kenn, Craig, and Ron to reflect on just how different things were when they were growing up in the 1960s—when young boys had to get creative in their quest to see a bare breast. From sneaking peeks at National Geographic to stumbling upon discarded adult magazines, the crew swaps stories of their hilariously determined (and often disastrous) discoveries.

It’s a mix of comedy, cultural reflection, and a little bit of education—Boomers on the Edge style.

Kenn shares a college Judo class story in which a training partner’s unexpectedly bold flirting puts him in an awkward spot. As Kenn describes trying to stay respectful and composed, Craig and Ron can’t resist teasing him about his reactions—and his younger self’s romantic cluelessness.

When the classmate eventually hands Kenn her phone number, his dramatic decision to tear it up sparks even more incredulous (and hilarious) commentary from Craig and Ron. Their relentless ribbing turns the tale into a running joke that carries through the episode.

To top it off, the show closes with outtakes of Craig and Ron’s outrageous reenactments of Kenn’s “moves,” delivering one last round of over-the-top hilarity.

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!

Bachelor Party: The Aftereffect

Part III of the Bachelor Party Trilogy

It’s the late ’80s—VHS tapes, bad decisions, and one bachelor party that refuses to stay buried. In this outrageous finale, a mysterious coat left at Kenn’s house turns out to hide more than just bad decisions—it’s got drugs in the pocket, setting off a chain of chaos nobody saw coming.

When Ron is asked by a crazy sales manager Tom to bring the infamous bachelor party VHS to a New Year’s Eve gathering, things spiral out of control. Just after the midnight ball drop, Tom pops the tape into the VCR—right in front of the company’s VPs, executives, and their horrified wives. The room clears faster than the champagne bubbles, and Ron takes the fall for the whole fiasco.

Back at work, Tom adds insult to injury—mocking Ron by pretending to crank an old movie camera through the office halls. But the laughs keep rolling as management calls Ron in for “a serious talk” while Tom pantomimes outside the door.

A comedy of errors, misunderstandings, and pure 1980s office madness—Bachelor Party: The Aftereffect is the unforgettable finale of the Bachelor Party Trilogy.
