On Me

The guys are back in the studio after having the biggest interview ever with Kris “Tanto” Paronto last time they met, and Jed is ready to blame the guys for his own lackluster life performance lately, which spawns yet another conversation about accountability within the group…

As the guys prepare to go to Dallas, TX for Strategos International 5th Annual National Christian Protectors Conference, Jed delves into a document...

Unlikely as it might have been before 2012, no matter where you’re from in America, you’ve probably heard of Benghazi, Libya.

There’s an equally good chance that you’ve also heard of GRS operator and former Army Ranger, Kris “Tanto” Paronto. Kris was in Benghazi throughout the entire ordeal. He fought bravely and fiercely, saved many American lives, killed many of America’s enemies, and he needed to poop throughout much of it.

This week, a streak of absolute genius hits Jed and he unleashes a crushingly insightful introduction along with the most powerful prayer ever uttered at On Me Podcast...

But SQUAMCH didn't record that intro, so Kyle, Jason, Jed and Squamch dive headlong into the attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump, the controversial performance of the Secret Service, and the role that the infamously dubbed "DEI" hiring po...

Does the Independence Day story of America present a template for individual freedom?

The guys think so.

This week, the boys talk a little bit about a recent Executive Protection course, and Jed gets way off in the weeds about the Independence Day holiday and also his weird ideas about the “human garden”.

Jason wants to hear some Independence Day memories from Squamch, Kyle, and Jed. Then, he reveals the secret cerem...

The boys DONE _SENT_ IT again with another trip to the wizards at Battleline Tactical and their friends at Fort Scott Munitions as they hosted a 2-Day Edged Weapons Course with Christopher Doner of Martial Blade Concepts, Omaha. He’s seriously a ninja dude and Jed was way too excited about that.

Not only did Jed get the Course Leader certificate for his stellar performance at class, but he, Kyle, and Squamch also rev...

If the poison you’ve been drinking is sweet, you should probably expect the antidote to be a little bitter.

This week, Jed opens up and explains that even though he understands HOW he learns--by physical processes such as neuroplasticity and mental processes, like focused learning techniques--he still finds it infuriating that he can’t get his mind tuned into the channels he’s looking for. Why?

The guys discuss a Hub...

There aren’t too many people on earth who can give Squamch and Jed BOTH a real run for their money, but this week, the guys get an opportunity to take a deep dive into the twisted mind of one man who has: Jeremy Mitchell, of Battleline Tactical, is a no-kidding Neuro-linguistic Communications Expert and has some CRAZY knowledge to drop on you.

In addition to designing Extreme Stress-inducing training courses for Batt...

There are a lot of variables in shooting, but the ability of the shooter to manage his own instincts and emotions during all phases of the process must be as steady as Squamch on a tree branch with a loaded rifle and a RockoChocko ice cream bar. 

So the guys get pretty deep into this one. So deep in fact that this episode may become required listening for students new to the range.

This time, Jason, Jed, Squamch and ...

In Part One of this Two-Part set, Jed and Squamch get back into the studio with Kyle and Jason after attending Extreme Stress training with Battleline Tactical in Oklahoma with Jeremy Mitchell and Ben Morgan.

The guys start breaking down a lot of the behavioral response factors that go into EVERYTHING they see and do in life and training. 

(This episode is a foundational part of an In-Depth Part Two. Pay attention.)

...

This week, Jed asks for help again as he reaches out to Squamch, Kyle and Jason for wisdom from the range.

The guys explore topics from why discomfort matters for your learning processes, to getting to know how you'll realistically perform in an actual fight.

Jed may not seem like a Rudyard Kipling fan - or maybe he does - but, either way, there's poetry in this episode!

What kind of person are you on th...

This week could be the end of the podcast, because:It turns out Squamch could be a closeted liberal who is ready to come out.

Then, Jed takes the guys through a guided, gaslighted, tour of grief, human manipulation, great and small things in life, and then appeals to Kyle, Jason, and Squamch for advice to get him through his real-life frustrations.

Is Squamch going to vote for Biden? Is Jed gaslighting himself? Can he be reasoned w...

The guys are at it again, and this time Jed shares a trick with them to keep them from getting bored with their wives' stories. 

And then he wants to know, theoretically, why they would each want to be rich? What would they do with their wealth? What's the REAL why behind what we want?

And Training Season is back in full effect for the guys and, with that, they reflect on the training paths that led them here. 

Jed, Jason, ...

As 2024 heats up, in almost every way, it seems like insanity lurks around every corner and no one can be trusted. 

Even reliable ol' Squamch wants to back out on his New Year resolution.

Kyle and Jason share some news sources (such as the award-winning DNN - Dunn News Network) they turn to for reliable information, while Jed seems to have pretty much given up on sourcing reports and articles and has decided he doesn't beli...

Jed gets home from Las Vegas and can’t wait to talk about a 2-day pistol course he was invited to with Student of the Gun where he was challenged and enlightened and - in typical Jed-style - had a great time and made new friends! 

Squamch, Kyle, and Jason ask questions and Jed gets personal about what happens when instructors meet on the range. 

Jed breaks down the 2-day pew-fest and dishes on some of his new friends; mostl...

The guys invite a good friend to the podcast, Ric Norman. Ric is the leader of a sales group, in which he oversees the group from training to selling. He has taken some rough paths in his walk, but all of it has taught him the importance of gratitude.

The group has a discussion on "bouncing back" from setbacks and each person answers the question "How do you overcome setbacks?" The guys define Resilent, Dur...

This week, the ever-changing nature of life is reflected at the accountability table again as the guys dig in a little deeper, and the questions get a little harder and more pointed.

Jed is still obsessed with learning to distain the constant pursuit of comfort and won't leave Jason alone about smoking.

Squamch struggles through the moral and ethical reasons to NOT build his own mini-kill dozer, while the rest of the team encou...

The new year is rolling in full force, and the guys are facing it head-on. 

Jed, Jason, Squamch, and Kyle each take on a new commitment for 2024. Can they continue their commitments for the entire year? 

They also challenge themselves to make an extemporaneous list of twenty-four traits of a dangerous person. Will they get all 24, or will they fall short? Do you have any traits to add to the list?

=============================...

There is inherent danger in setting a child on any path, for the world is a dangerous place indeed, and some are worse than others.

In this episode, the guys explore some of their own Danger Paths, and they discuss how a deep sense of PURPOSE is a critical ingredient in building the most dangerous people.

They read books, talk death, and they all believe boys should punch each other. How are you NOT already listening?!

=======...

So many make New Year's resolutions without looking back on who they truly are. You can not move forward in a positive way unless you take stock of your true self. There is no growth in the comfort zone. 

In this year end review, Jed, Jason, Squamch, and Kyle look back on this past year and reflect on what has transpired. They discuss the creation of the podcast and the events that led to the first episode. 

They take a hard lo...
