On Me

This year, Kyle, Jason, Jed, and Squamch want to attend YOUR family Christmas, so we recorded a very special Christmas Episode that you can play on Christmas morning for the whole family!

Put on your favorite footie pajamas, get a piping hot cup of coffee (hot chocolate for the kiddos), gather 'round the tree and press PLAY!

The guys say a Christmas prayer for you, they read the Birth of Jesus Christ, and they share some touching stories from Christmas past that we guarantee you've never heard. 

Please accept our humble gift, from our home to yours, as we celebrate our Savior together!

And have a VERY Merry Christmas from On Me Podcast!

**Listener Discretion Advised**: In this episode, the OMP team talks with their esteemed guest about very hard things, such as children being killed and the possibility of a protector, such as a School Protection Officer, being forced to kill a young person in the event there’s no other way to stop them from committing mass murder. We don’t dress up our conversations with nicer words to make these kinds of topics more “courtroom-friendly,” softer, or palatable.

Perhaps, somewhere inside our hearts and souls, we want topics like this to make us feel sick always. Listener discretion is advised.

-

This week, Squamch, Kyle, Jason, and Jed are excited to bring on a guest that they have had an active, years-long role in training, influencing, and working beside in protective operations. Matt Johnson is a big, strong dude, and he’s an exceptionally dedicated husband, father, teacher, businessman, athlete, and recently - the School Protection Officer for Miller School District in his own hometown of Miller, MO.

This episode is a great follow-up to last time, as Matt is a flesh-and-blood example of living “The Art of Doing What You Can.”

Have you ever felt like you’re just not good enough, experienced enough, qualified enough, or just…_enough_ to make a real difference? Then you need to hear Matt’s story. He’s a man with a vested interest in protecting the kids in his hometown and he’s been busy checking the boxes.

By some accounts, he has not walked the typical Protector’s Path. He isn’t a cop. He wasn’t a soldier. Heck, he wasn’t even a violent _criminal_ before he decided to take the hard road and do the impossible and fight to create a job he believed in and then fight even more to be the one to fill it.

He’s already done great things to increase the defensive posture and response capability of Miller Schools, and we hope you recognize that he’s walking a path you too could follow.

And since the guys have him in the studio, they pick his brain about a topic that’s been hot on the socials as of late: The many “Echo Chambers” in our society today, and more specifically, how to _break them_.

Just as he’d do to anyone intending harm to the kids he protects.

Did we mention he’s a big dude?

The OMP crew wants to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!

So here you go:

Squamch is tired of your excuses. Oh, maybe you don’t feel like you’re making excuses for the things you aren’t doing, but if you’re busy using classic lines like:

“If I had his money, I would…”

or

“If I had more time, I’d…”

…then be careful around Squamch because Squamch don’t play that.

In a world constantly reminding you of all the things you don’t have and can’t get, and all the things you can’t do anything about - maybe it’s time to focus on what you CAN do.

So, eat your turkey and stuffing and let’s get moving.

Let’s ask ourselves a real question: “Are you an asset to your team or is the team carrying you?”

That’s the central question to this episode, and the guys dig into the On Me Podcast (OMP) team to air out some truths about their private lives and their roles on the team.

And since they’re talking about teams, Jed shares a few details about spending the weekend with a murky group OMP is associated with who travel from near and far to practice high-level tactics on the range and high-level connection in their own communities.

Also, the White House Facebook page has become nothing but a propaganda outlet and the guys give an unequivocal look at their collective view on abortion.

Lastly, Kyle makes Jason, Jed, and Squamch list each other in priority order of best asset to worst liability.

Are you ready to make your list? And then, are you ready to love them anyway?

In this episode, Squamch shares his recent experience at Battleline Tactical, training with the recovering Kris “Tanto” Paronto in a Level 2, two-day Pistol and Rifle course.

The team also uncovers one of Squamch’s most guarded childhood secrets, which they discuss with maturity and sensitivity.

Jed introduces several quotes that provoke deep self-reflection, and consideration of your circumstances; and he eagerly explains the behaviors of scared rabbits, drawing parallels to gun training and broader life lessons.

What good is a podcast if you can’t invite your mom to hang out?

This week, the guys invite one of the most formative figures in Jed’s life, and probably the reason he loves stories. Telling them, reading them, hearing them, and ultimately LIVING them.

Linda Lee Carroll joins the gang to tell some stories about her life before Jed, how she thinks, writes, and prays.

And for the first time ever, the entire crew, with SPECIAL GUEST - Linda Lee Carroll perform a table reading of the famed short story, “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” by James Thurber

Jed asks some hard questions of his mother, and she gives some great insight on myriad topics.

Then, they talk in-depth about the art of storytelling.

This is one of the most fun episodes that Squamch, Jason, Kyle, and Jed have ever done, with one of the most fun people ever.

We hope you enjoy this episode.

But if you don’t.... Take it up with Jed’s mom.

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 documentary he recently watched. The Blue Angels documentary offers more than just fast airplanes, and Jed shares some awesome lessons with Squamch, Jason, and Kyle that he picked up from watching the way the crews work with one another and how the central theme of their every day lives never wavers by way of a very simple mechanism: “I’m glad to be here.”

Topics range from stone tablet life advice, a Federal Abortion Task Force, “reproductive freedoms,” accountability at home, being a living sacrifice every day, and Jed cries again.

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.

Though Kris’s story has been captured in the movie “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” and he has a busy schedule with countless lessons from combat that he now shares with the world through books he’s written, speaking engagements, training events, and even a Vodka venture, Tanto Vodka, with his buddy and fellow former Army Ranger, Ben Morgan, Kris is one of the coolest, God-fearing, patriotic, honest, foul-mouthed friends the On Me Podcast team has - and he took the time out of his recovery from a recent surgery to call the guys and tell some of the story you’ve never heard.

Sit down with Jed, Jason, Squamch, and Kyle as they gather around the On Me kitchen table to meet a true friend to America, dig into his story, and learn some lessons from the best.

The switch is on…
