If he just got some type of accolade, some type of award, so we want to shout out to him. And who's the other gentleman we have. We have mister Randy Crawford, that's right today, and he has some dynamic stuff going on too. I know that when we talk about self defense and protecting yourself, he got something to do with that. So we're gonna talk a little bit about how we can protect ourselves, especially the ladies out there, because I know the ladies out there have some challenges sometimes feeling like they're not being protected. So if you feel that way, sometimes you just have to say, you know what, I need to protect myself. I need to protect myself. If nobody's gonna protect me, I need to protect myself. And so this gentleman is gonna talk a little bit about that because that's what he does. And so we're excited about some of the things is going on. But you know, before we get into all that good old stuff. To me, how was your day? I was your day? I had a bit Well, it wasn't a busy day. It was just like, you know, the change in weather, you gotta start getting rid of your putting your summer clothes away. And it was kind of bittersweet because I'm like, I'm I'm kind of wanting some fall weather, but at the same time, I'm like I'm not ready for what's after the fall weather. But yeah, just doing stuff around the house and preparing for got some things in the works in my you know, personal life. But yeah, just nice. Yeah, what about your classic Lady sparkle. You've been going. I know you're back in the first day back. How you feeling. Tell us about your day. It wasn't a bad day, a little productive day, a little uh heat up at the store from here, you know. Yeah, I'm just heat out. Oh call it heat up when people come in and get like sea moss like that, not neat up, but heat. It was like heat today, And I think what Sizzil said, with the weather's changing, people are like taking that approach to make sure that they get their immune build up where, you know, to fight off the colds and all that stuff. So yeah, yeah, yeah, that's important to the immune system. And then this covid is still kind of going around, so there's like stock up on that vitamin C, y'all. Yeah, keep your body so that it can fight off the infections when infections come. Yes, yeah, they say, you know, yeah, you know you can't. You can get vitamin C from the sun too, right, vitamin D. Yeah, Vitamin C is like in fruits, It's in a lot of stuff. Yeah, it's in different fruits and vegetables. I mean, you know, but yeah, yeah, it's in different things. But they tell you, oh, it's an orange ueses. Yeah, but they put a lot of sugar and all these other stuff in it. But I mean, when you get a little cold, it's kind of good that your body is building up those antibodies. If your body can fight it off, that's even better. But it's building up to anybody so that if something bigger comes, your body can fight it because it has those anybodies in it exactly. You know what's funny about vitamin vitamin D, vitamin C, vitamin C orange juice, right as they say, uh, they just came out with a study where apparently is it forgot what brand of orange juice it is, but apparently it's cancer causing agents in it. And it's the orange juice that we grew ubble. And that's you know, unfortunate because a lot of these foods that you know, I've been watching, I'm watching a lot of like i G videos and reels and tiktoks of course, and a lot of them are also saying that some of the foods that we have in America, they won't even allow in the UK and the Europe and things f DNC REDM for four yellow number five, all that kind of stuff they ban that they don't allow it. And as far as vitamins, see, if you want to really just take an orange, you only have to get a juicer, just get a presser and get your own. But also wash your fruit because a lot of it gets pest aside on it and you're putting that in you. So I mean, honestly, bacon, soda, apple sided vinegar, those things can wash your fruit and your vegetables very you know, not chemical based, because you do have a lot of that stuff when they're shipping it, and all that stuff is on there when you're consuming in your body, you know what. And that's one of the things where I don't think a lot of us think of washing our fruit, especially apples, stuff that you just grapes. Some of us will do watch our grapes, but we don't think of even washing the skin of pineapples. That's true. I and just the entire pineapple. I take off the head, of course, but then I cut up the skin right the outside and boiler, yeah, use it fatigue Honestly, the peel which is the house has more nutrients than the inside, and people there go, yeah, so see again because a lot of people don't know that watermelon. Yeah it has skin, Yeah, it has the nutrients, all of the fruit discupposed. It is edible, so you can do stuff with it. Yeah, I mean even freshness for washing your body and keeping the refrigerator the saint like it has. It can be redone in so many different ways, for sure. What's up with you? See? How is your day long? Long? I had it long. I know my days are always long, but uh, running around, running around. I was up early this morning. I had a project to do that I had to complete a few costs emails, checking a couple of things, wrote another grint. Hopefully that uh we secure that. And it's something to talk about as it relates to, you know, independent media and journalists be able to survive, to you know, really sustain in an environment like this that doesn't pay really well. Right. Journalists don't really get paid a lot, right, and so most of us do some subcontract work, you know, and you know, have to compete for certain jobs. Right. And the only thing that we do have that's pretty sustainable to a degree outside of our jobs are grants, being able to write a grant and secure grant so we can sustain and so that's something that we do constantly. And so if you're watching and you know people out there and you want to support your journalists, man makes make it donate. Matter of fact, it's a good time. Hold on, where's my donation? Why don't you tell them to donate? Good? How at them spart telling to donate? Let me find this all right, y'all already heard what he said.

So that's that's what we do. That's that's right. How did you guys get together? Man? So it started with I've been doing this on my own for almost three years now. And man, I guess each of these people here have different background stories. Most of us went to the same church together, and we just kept going this one her, this is my one of my assistants said, one of like the my my biggest supporter and my biggest suitar to hear to some assistance. So we just been building and the same thing with upstairs with the band, just meeting through. People kept networking, kept saying it was just like God or dang bab here we are awesome. Y Well, could you guys do we talked weekly? A favor? Can you give us a drop in a melody type? Way a type? Okay? So we talked weekly. Okay, so we're gonna do something like this. We talk week. We come in here with us, we talk. We we come in here them we talk. We we come in here now we talk. We come in here them, we talk. We we come in here now we talk. We me coming like, okay, give beautify because you're already cord Yo ain't very thank you every time? Mate, Yeah, I see that's the you know. The funny thing is that's probably one of the best clips. I love that clip, and I think, yeah, that's what I mean. Loud. I just don't like so I know I'm a loud person, but I'm just lacking. That is so funny. And so before we get into anything, Uh, why don't you tell me a little bit about I'm gonna talk a little bit about uh sea mass and I know that shit thing, right, Yeah, what everyone has been jumping on this sea mass kick? Right? Why is sea maws so great? Tell us some of the reasons why sea mass is so great. So I'll give you a small background sea mass from what people say and from my study and research, seams has another name called Condres Cristmas. It comes from the Caribbean or it comes from Ireland. Your body has one hundred and two minerals. Sea mass is the only food outside of sauer kraut that has ninety two those minerals. Your body doesn't naturally produce zinc or anything like that. And these come from the ocean and from the salt and the minerals that are collected, and that's where it comes from. Seamoss is actually a thickening agent, and that thickening agent is used in like different things like soup. It was actually something for people that were poured to expand their food. You can put it in different soups. Once it came here, a lot of people were saying that if you don't have purple sea mass or golden and all these different things about it was being cloned. But SEAMSS helps with lower blood pressure, blood sugar, stamina, sexual libido, hair, skin, nails. It really does help with the different minerals that your body needs. Now, sea mass is algae, so it does have iodine, and that's the reason that you're not supposed to just sit and eat it. Some people don't like the consistency. But it is mixed with fruit in order for it to taste better, which is why it's called a superfood when you mix it with fruit. But you're not supposed to take more than four tablespoons or for children teaspoons, but weight in height no, no more than like for a day because of the iodine in it. I see. So if it's blue, yeah, I don't worry about it because sometimes I just like the way that it tastes right, and everybody doesn't. It is an acquiring taste, and it depends on who's making it, because some people make it thick earth in it. But the way to prepare it is that you're supposed to clean it, wash it, let it sit. It expands for like twelve to eighteen hours, and you're not supposed to just clean it with like distill or like with tap orders like distill order or some kind of like purified water, because that's you're you know, consuming that too. Yeah. Interesting, Now you sell you sell this product at your store. You have worked with different vendors. The question is are you planning on creating your sum yourself, creating your own brand? Finally, because I know you know enough to do that, right, and so when you think about the brands that you had, you know how to put it together. You know the different forms of sigmas. So are you thinking of creating your own brand? The reason I'm going to say I'm not is because of the labor that it takes. Ah Okay, you know what I mean. You do it has to You have to allow it to sit and expand and then rewash it. So I personally don't have the time. Oh got you put the labor of loving it. But if I need to make it for myself at home, if you know, if I don't have it on hand and I have some regular you know, some rawsy malls to prepare it, of course, but I'm not thinking of that. And because i do a lot of different vitamins. You know, it's a lot other things that I could probably you know, do and you know, give to people. But I'm not there yet. Yeah, but how the seams work for you? I love it, I mean, you know what the thing is for me is I don't know if it's actually working, right. I just love the taste of it, right, And so I know it's a super food. I know it's excellent for your health. But I guess you can fill the energy level, right. But for the most part, I eat pretty well, right, and I do. I'm able to put it in my shakes too, now, right, and so I put it in my shakes, but I don't know, see, I take it just from the jar. I don't mix it. I take my two big tablespoons in the morning to it. Now, Here's what I would say if you're since you're a healthy eater and everything like that, you may not see it right now, But what I will say is when you stop taking it is when you're there, you go. So when you stop taking it, you'll say, oh, I feel a little sluggish or well I'm feeling like I need to take it that or you know, you'll see then the decline. And that's what I tell everybody. You're not gonna probably see it tomorrow lift up a building, but afterwards you'll be like, oh, I haven't asked what's missing? I haven't, you know, cause it's you know, it's gonna be a decline or a decrease from something that's making your body feel better. Yeah, fantastic, fantastic. Yeah all right, ladies and gentlemen. So there you go out S. If you eat sea moss, if you ain't just sea moss, let us know. I'm gonna know if you're feeling any type of different or some effects. And you know, it's one of those things where you know, I've been eating sea mass. So I guess when I'll stop. I know, all right, but I don't plan on stopping right. I'm trying to live to maybe one hundred and twenty or something like that, you know, still with my wits about me. I just saw this documentary it's called Live to one hundred and they went around the country the world, different parts of the world, talking to people's who are called, uh I wanna say centennials or something like that. M S. S. Sentience is something I can't remember. The actual word. But they live past one hundred years old and they still are walking and moving and you know, doing things. This one gentleman, I literally you would literally think he's about at least sixty maybe sixty four. I say sixty four because sixty five is too old for him the way that he looks. Right, he's one hundred and four and riding horses. It's not America, though, it's not America. It's it's retiring here. Yeah, okay, where are you going? You got problem with Philly? You got problem with Philly, America, Dr Columbia. It was just funny because the other countries talk about how we eat here and a portion size and all that. It's one of those things you guys eat too much or overweight. And it's funny because Jimmy Kimmel had something on his show when he was asking people on the streets. He does his man on the streets and he was asking them like what they thought about Uh, never mind, good talk about it, no doubt. So how much y'all going on? Where when we come back? We got a dynamic? Any of you will be right back after this show? Wait wait wait wait, we talked with these after they talk to w P P m l P Philadelphia one six point five. That's when we talked. We HEA's have to talk with your boy Charles Gregor and a beautiful Lawrences and a beautiful and we are here today. So without further deces, why don't you let us know who do we have today? Who do we have today? So we have the most talented mister Randy Crawford. He is the founder of Omni Shield Self Defense, LLC. He currently works in the Fugitive Warrant Unit for the Philadelphia Shares the Sheriff's Office. Mister Crawford has over twenty seven years of law enforcement experience, WOW, fifteen years of defense tactic tactics training, twelve years of martial arts expertise, and six years of edge weapon training.

He's worked in collaboration with tech Targets Virtual Range chasing Me and the girl with the gun, and mister Crawford added a carjacking self defense segment to all of the classes in addition to teaching practical self defense for men, women, and children along with the specialized tactics for all individuals. Welcome to the show, mister Randy Crawford, Welcome to the show. Welcome to the show. My brother, how are you? Oh man? You know what, We're going to have a lot to talk about. That's just a snippet. That's his resume, which is long, no doubt, no doubt. So let's talk a little bit about that. Let's where do we begin? Where do we begin? Let's talk a little bit about I guess the law enforcement and what got you into self defense? Let's start there. Man, be honest, I started this company back in two thousand and five. Being working in law enforcement just gave me the eye. I was just running across so many situations, domestic violence, just abuse of course a lot more abuse against women and children. And doing this job made me just you know what, somebody just takes this to a whole other level. So watching all these things go down, I just came up with this vision and saying you know what, as long as I'm in this job, I'm doing this, I'm going to give back some way. And at that point I decided, you know what, I need to do something, and that's why I decided to start this coming right, fantastic when you when you got into or when you talk a little bit about the domestic violence piece, right, that has been a big conversation lately. Where does one start when it comes to especially I guess the women you know that that's currently in those type of situations. Where do they start and protect themselves in that particular situation. Well, you have to think about the root of the root of it starts from the family structure. I mean, unfortunately, the way our family structure has been the last few decades has been terrible. You know, the family structure. You know, when I was coming up, you had man in the house, get a woman in the house, you had some kind of guidance, and so unfortunately you have a lot of if you wanted to talk about the best, but especially with females, a lot of women have grown up without that father in the house. So the mother has to play both roles, so she doesn't have time to keep you know, eye on both things. So a lot of women growing up they don't know what's wrong when it's right, when it's coming with dealing with males. And then you've got a lot of men who grew up with just a mother in the house, so they don't know how to control their tempers. You know, they're not able to decide what's wrong was right when it's coming to dealing with other relationships, you know what I mean. And we've seen it in the next last two decades. It's really, really, really bad now. And you know, working in this unit, i've seen just the uprise of the p F as you know, protection abuse just skyrocket, you know what I mean. And of course COVID didn't help, of course, you know, stuck in the stuck in the house each other, that person that you didn't like, Now you're going to stay in the house with that person, and at some point it becomes you know, abuse, and the memory of abuse is not just physical. It starts mental. So when you when you break a person down, mental the physical part is just the easy thing. So you know that that I've seen a lot, and that's one of the things inspired me to inspired me to, you know, do what I do. And I get a lot more women in my classes that I do met you know, men get a little and believe it or not, they do, but you know, and I'll keep it just on the women. A lot of women come in my class, and a lot of them at the class pull me aside, so you know, thank you, because they actually find out a time when they can release theirself and speak something that's going on in their life that they never able to tell anybody, you know. And so I've learned to when I do my classes, I don't teach martial arts, you know what I mean. Martial arts is going to you know, martsh art is something you can do, mma and all that stuff. I teach self defense, which starts with awareness, you know, knowing what to do when before you go outside, you know, driving down the street and you make that left in that car behind you making them left, you make another left and another car make and y'are the only two cars on the street. Yeah, that's awareness, you know what I mean walking down the street. You see it every day down here in Senery City, walking down the street with your face and the phone. I mean, come on, you gotta do better, you know. In my class, I do a lot of things about You know, women like to keep their cell phones in their back pockets. So I mean, all somebody gonna do bump up against you and take your cell phone and take off running. What you're gonna do. Your natural reaction is turn around chase them. So what are you gonna do when you catch that person? Absolutely nothing. That's what they want you to do. They want you to chase them ount of the corner. So you know what, him and his buddy's right there waiting for you. Now, not only do they got your cell phone, but they gonna get everything else and they might just get you. Yeah, So let's talk a little bit about that right now, since since we went there, what are some of the tips that you would give to women to one look out for, but you know, to be more aware of. You know, well, the first key, first key is awareness, right, Like, think about it. When you go outside. You know, we're routine people. You know, you go outside, you go to the car, the same way, you go out the door, the same way, you go to work some same way. So if somebody really want to do something to you, all they gotta do is to watch your pattern, you know what I mean, she comes out the door six o'clock at him. She's gonna walk down the street. She's gonna look at that same callee. She gets it every day. So just be mindful of these things. You know, going to the ATM, we see it every every day. Now, if you're going to the agent, don't get out with your whole pocket book, your phone. Be awareness. You know, you should not be spending more than forty five seconds at the ATM. But you see it. People go out there and they do their whole banging. Nah, you don't want to do that. You know. If you pull up to the ATM and you see somebody standing in little strange things, use them, go to the next one. You know, do not get out the car leaving your car running, right, that's what they want you to do. You got to stop that. You know, we see how many times we turn on the news in this Uh, they don't stole the car and a child in the car. Would Why do you get out and lead a car running? I won't even go to the gas station, you know, you go to the gas stage. Let me leave a car run in and go in and pay with your child the baby? No? Or when groceries yes, yeah, cars, starting the car first, and then then you put the grocer. Because unfortunately, we're dealing in a different environment of different people now, and we all know that there's a different bad person out there now. You know. Unfortunately they're getting younger and less thoughtful of what they're doing. They don't care, so you know, unfortunately, you know you're the victim. You know, women are the victim. Yeah, yeah, you know what ladies. Look remember, oh so we got a few things here, right, don't leave your pocketbook in the car with your car running. Don't get out the car with your car running. Got the baby in the car? You go in thro the if you pull into a gas station. I see it all the time. Also even when I'm at the gas station. You know, you see somebody walk out the car running. Guys do the sex same thing. But people pray and wait for that. They wait and look for people who owe the car running. You know, they got the people, you know, got people with them. They spin up, boom, somebody getting the other side of the car, the car door, the passager side. While they're distracting you. They got your car, They got your baby and everything that's in there, your pocketbook, all of that jogging, jogging, got your ear pods in, you can't even hear nobody running up in back you. I don't even I mean I don't. I never put two ear pods in my ear. I just don't do it. You know. One of the other bigger things is now we all know it's dating. Okay, right the apps, ladies. If you meet this guy and he can't give you his government name, that's a sign already my name pooky? Like right, you know you have a woman she dated this god for six months and she don't even know his name. You going by, like, why do you not know his name? If he can't give your name, that's something something hot, like, come on, you have to be better than that. You know, if you if you, you know, stop putting all your information out here on social media. You know, if a man meets you, he already knows fifty percent of you because you don't put your last that's right social media. As a man, it's not even fun getting to know you because I already know you because you don't put so much. Stop putting Okay, yeah, my last dude, he dogged me, he did this. Why stop putting all that stuff out there? You know, if you meet a guy the first time you go out with this man. Number one, you should be meeting him at a secure location. Okay, he should not know where you live at all. Right, And then when you go out, you said, listen, before I get in the car with you, let me see your license. You know, I need to know this car is legit, you know what I mean. And number one, before you walk around getting the car, walk around the opposite director. So you're gonna walk past the license plate, take a picture on your cellphone, or memorize it. So when you get in a car, when you get in a car with your girlfriends, because at least somebody should know you went out with John Dup, text her the license plate number, but color car you and something like that. If something happens, at least we have somewhere to start, you know what I'm saying. Okay, well, hey she got into the green car, license plate and such, so that way we know where to start. Tell somebody I'm talking to this dude. You know, while you come up missing two days, nobody don't even know where to start, you know what I mean. It ain't nobody's trying to get in your business. But unfortunately, we are in a different time dealing with different people. Learning to protect yourself, you know what I mean. You get a lot of you know, women, they always come to my class. First thing I do is I tell them to empty persons on the table right now. I kind of had to stop doing that because lots a lot of stuff, a lot of falling out. I was like, oh, you're the wrong class. So what I did, I said, listen, what you have in your purse is so many weapons, all right, so this can be used a weapon, keys, a pen, you know, a knife. It is not illegal to carry a knife, you know what I mean? Some people think so, No, there's nothing wrong with carrying a knife. As matter of fact, every person that comes to my class, I try to give them a knife that that I think that that works for them, you know, And I kind of that's kind of like the gift that I give. But I teach them how to use a knife, how to dissent because unfortunately, the knife is usually your first line of defense if you have to pick up a weapon. What is the kitchen knife can be anything pair of scissors. So I teach them how to use it effectively. Would he use it? Where to you know, I have to stay at the person and what he have to do. So I showed him what's in their pocketble to use and they be like, oh man, something and such, you know, because you know, I'll be honest. Years ago, I did not promote for women to have, you know, guns in the house like that because a lot of women kids kids. Not only that, but if somebody built in the house, the person was end up getting a gun from them and using to get still, you know what I mean, Because believe it or not, when people were breaking their homes years ago, not everybody was carrying a gun, you know what I mean, It was like that. Unfortunately, it was that you know, a person on drugs and he needed a quick fix and let me just break in his house and stuff, and he most likely wasn't carrying a gun. But if he breaks in the house and there is a weapon, there becomes his. Because if you can't yourself, yes you can't the fingers. But now in twenty twenty three, I recommend every female that comes to a class, listen, you shot on the firearm, you should learn how to use it. I recommend a proper fire for them to get, you know, don't go to the gun store by yourself, because these guys just want to sell you what on their shelf that they're trying to get rid of, you know what I mean, So talk to somebody, go learn shoot that fire and purchase it. Yeah, yeah, I was, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, my friend. Go ahead, and if you carry and I teach them how to carry a firearm, weird to carry it. And I also take them to the range if they want to go to the range and show them to properate, how to shoot it, how to load it, where to secure it. You have kids in the couch's house. Depends on the age of your kids. You need to sit down and talk to them. Hey, mommy daddy has a gun in the house. Just what you need and not know and not need to do, you know what I mean, talk to them, explain to them. And if they're older, you know what, Hey, all my girls can shooting. I take my girls to the range regularly. Interesting how old are they? Twenty five, twenty two and eighteen? Twenty five, twenty and eighteen. Did you get ever get pushed back by teaching or exposing your kids about guns or carrying guns? No? Interesting, I've never I've never got pushed back because I don't know, maybe because I did it the proper way, you know what I mean. Let's be for real, man. You go out in the country, yeah, eight seven years old, and you never hear about them kids going in there and getting their parents guns and shooting because they introduce them to them. That's not I'm not saying that's for everybody, you know what I mean. But how many times we got to hear the news that this kid has went in the closet or do this because especially boys out of curiosity. Oh mom, dad got to so you got Then it goes then it goes on their parents too. Let's be more responsible. You know you have a gun in the house. Why are you leaving and sitting on the dress? So why are you leaving to sit on the counter? You know? And number one, do not tell anyone that you have a farm. Why are you telling people when I brought this gun blah blah blah blah, because again you're giving me the up. So now if I need to break in your house, I know you have a firearm. If I didn't want to break in your house, now I do want to break in your house, you know what I mean. That's like people who who come home with the big giants screen TVs. Oh, we know what they got in they house, you know what I mean. So we have to be more responsible for ourselves because you know, we're in a climate now when hey, law enforcement is only doing what they can. You know what I'm saying. They don't have the main power to get to every job. So when that person climbs through your window, you might have to defend yourself before somebody gets there. So I talk to them. I teach them the laws. You know how if you have to pull that trigger, this is the laws you need to know. You know what I mean. Somebody runs in your house and they steal something, they jump out the wind running. Cannot chase them out the house and then shoot them. Now you're going to jail. You cannot do that. So you know, I try to teach them all of that stuff. So by the time somebody walks on my class, they have a knowledge of everything. They know how to defend themselves physically with their hands. You know a lot of women think, oh I'm not strong, Yeah, you're strong enough. You know, some women are stronger than some of lot of these men are here. I mean, I keep it real but you know, and I try to teach them, you know why, I'm talking to them and giving them scenarios so that keeps them interested in what they're learning. And then I allow them to talk while I'm teaching, and that's you know what, shut up, you know, mister Crawford, this is what happened to me. Okay, so you know what we're gonna teach you from that happened to you. That way, you're gonna learn from experience. Also, because you can't teach experience, you're gonna inherit experience. And when they come out the class, they're like, the mind is blown because you know, we're not even about to be learning karate and all this stuff. I'm just teach you how to you know, use your hands, hold your hands. A lot of women don't even know how to do a punch. So by the time you leave my you know the proper way, how to do a punch, proper way, how to kick somebody, so many holes to pretty much get out of that situation. You know several places too. You need to grab this man and do what you need to do. And I do the same thing for the kids. I have a lot of kid classes. I do the same thing. You know, we got a lot of kids with the you know, child reduction thing. You know that's big, you know what I mean. So we teach I teach these kids how to walk down the street and you see that black band pull up. You need to know what to deal, you know what I mean? Awareness, Awareness is the key. You know, know know who's around you, you know, know who to call, you know what I mean, know who to run to? You know what? Real quick with that. And I say this to like, you know, my son, and like people around me, even my sisters. I say, look, a lot of times you're walking, you don't even pay attention to who's around you, who's behind you. One of the things I say is as soon as they leave, what did that person have on behind you? They have no clue. So if something happened, you can't even say what they had on, what they look like, the height, what color is their eyes, were the sneakers that they had on. So that's certain things that you need to realize going on, and you got to teach them. You know again, society is you know different now. You know, when I was coming up, I see mister John walking down the street, I feel you know unsafe, I can run him right. You know what I mean? If you walking down speaking your son and then another kid is in trouble, that kids should be just oh no, sir, I'm in trouble. I need help and you and you as a man, needs to say, okay, what's wrong. You know that kid needs to start not being afraid to go to another person say hey, I need help. And that's why we have so many things happen with you now, you know, nobody knew, they didn't have nobody to talk to, and that's what we need. We need to start talking to something because we could save some of them. You know what I mean. We have a lot of youth, yeah, we know, just out of control, but there's some out that who do want help and do what we saving. And you gotta start talking to him. If you walk in this door and you see a young man, why not speak to him? Why is this so hard to speak to him? You'd be surprised how many I got a question for you. So Southwest Philly, a young lady was carjacked. She was and this is why I tell my kids because we got family in Southwest as well. When I'm driving, let's just say I came from an event. It's like two in the morning. I'm on these little streets. I'm not stopping at that stop at the red light at this little I'm not doing it. You're gonna keep going. Well, she stopped at a stop at a red light and they carjacked her, took her to the ATM, made her withdraw her money, and then raped her. And he I think he just got caught. Like people in the southwest Philadelphia area, this is public news too, so allegedly this is what he's done and they just caught him. But what would in that scenario, what would you have said to this young lady? And I know you don't have any details, but she's stopping in a small neighborhoodhood at a red light that there's no other traffic. It's like three in the morning, and then you got carjacked again. This one thing awareness number one. You're female. It should be a very good reason why you're out three o'clock in the morning by yourself. Okay, if you If my my daughter comes home at late at night, she's coming from work, I try to teach her, hey, try to stick on Bord Street. I'm not saying Bory Street is safe, but there's a lot of traffic on Borord Street. And she also knows. Yes, you stop at a red light, you see somebody approaching, crazy, there's no take off. I read it for you get pulled over by a police officer. Then that person comes to and no, understand, run run. If that dude gets in the car in front of the run his butt over. You have a weapon, yes, you know what I mean, do not? And unfortunately you know again it's summertime. Maybe you got your window. No, you can drive down the street windows down, because that's easy. You know, I would love to be able to own a convertile, but me, I carry a weapon. I still would be nervous driving a convertible in Philadelphia. And real quick, I want to I want you to answer this because I want to pull this question up by Linda Fuller. She said, are these classes in NJ or p A. Because we're going to get to that, because we want you to let everyone knows. But since this question came up, why don't you let her know where you're I have doing I'm doing classes in Philadelphia, Delaware, Jersey. Again, I'm giving back. You know, I've had people contact me from Delaware. Here, I need a class, I said, you know what, you pick a place in Delaware. So these are private classes you're doing. Yes, well, I have a pretty good connection with someone in the city and a lot of the women who are in the shelter who experienced domestic before they're released from the shelter. She calls me, says, listen, I have three ladies we're going to release. They need to take your class for an hour before I want to release them. I said, no problem. And when I get their classes strictly private, you know, because you don't know what's going on in their life. So in that situation, yes, that's private. But if anybody else wants to have a class, I'm at whether we private, however you want to do it, it's fine. Like again, we just had a class a couple of weeks ago. It was over in Jersey. It was a church right now, I do a lot of churches and a lot of churches, you know what. We got women coming and they feel a little insecure about coming to church and everything. So young lady wanted to set up a class and that's what she did. She had fifteen twenty of the church members come through we went down the basement of the church. Boom. I have another church up in the northeast and I'm working close now and I'm working with her security team and I'm setting up the security for her church. You know, she's a little nervous and when they do collect the money and stuff like that, because you know that's big now that it's big robbing. These churches are very big. So I've had all eight of their office, all their church officers. I took them to the range, taught them all how to shoot, showed them how to go get their license to carry, so they all are you know, licensed now, and they all we walked through scenarios on how to protect themselves, how to protect her, and that's the things to do. So yeah, it doesn't matter, you know, like I said, I've done. I did a uh not a basket party, but uh the women did a bachelorette party last month. That was great. You know. She said she wanted to do something different, so she said this, I'm want to do something different. I'm gonna do She said, you know, just come through. And she didn't tell the girls. There's about ten of them. They came over. They thought they just want to go through their walk through the wedding. But you know, I came through and I did the self defense and they loved it. Maybe maybe what we'll do is because you ladies need to get some some training and stuff, some self defending, both the self defending the firearms. Yeah, and so what we'll probably do is and Linda, you know over Jersey, she's in Jersey, Okay, So what we'll probably do is create like a I don't know, maybe we do what we talk weekly. Thing, you know, try to get a whole bunch of people together, specifically ladies. Get y'all out here to protect y'allself. Understand your awareness. You know, things that's happening around you. When you're jogging, trying not to jog with your ear pods in both of them. An you can hear just the same with one one, you know, stop walking. I see a lot of y'all on scepter waiting for the train head down. You don't even know who's standing behind you, your phone get taken away from you, people run up behind you, things of all that, you know, just pay attention. It's about your awareness, you know, understand the ecosystem that you're in, the people around you your circle and try to be more aware of gentlemen too. You know, I see a gentlemen do the exact same thing, and you know, we become victims also. So don't think just because you're a man, you know. So you know sometimes you know, people don't hold up. They hold a little back on the women, they don't hold back on the men, right, and so you got to know how to really buy we even pivot when it comes to certain things. I've been taking classes, you know, I used to box a while ago, but I've been taking Kravmagd, you know, and being a little bit more into that, which is an interesting way of self defense. But I'm interested in some of the things that you're doing, and we want to get people together and understand that this is something that you guys need to do. This isn't this isn't a game out here. I think everyone needs to understand how to protect and secure yourself. My brother, I have a question. It is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and a lot of people just assume like that month is specifically to kind of, you know, highlight domestic violence when it comes to women. But there are men who are victims of domestic violence. Do you find that it's harder for a man to be open about being a victim of domestic violence. Of course, of course, because men, you know, were raised to be these strong, you know guys, you a punk if you express But unfortunately, again the way society is, women now have taken on more of that masculinity rule, and now when they get into the relationship with guys, and guys don't do exactly what they want them to do. They physically and mentally lashing out to these men. And a man comes up, and a lot of them have been raised again and from a different type of environment, and I'm like, oh, it's okay for this woman to sit here and yell at me and and physically abuse me. And that's not right, you know what I mean? You know some women out here this be for real heavy handed and strong. You're not gonna you punch a person in his person. That's not right. So yeah, they're being abused just as much, and they don't know what they feel, as though they have no way to turn, so they walk around with their heads. Now. I'm like, yo, I'm getting dogged at home, but I don't know how to last shout. And what happens is that builds up, that builds up, and that builds up and about at the point of time, that's what something happens happen. So yeah, that that does happen. So sometimes you got to be able to talk. You know, if you ain't got you can't even talk to your boy like yo, man, You're like yo, I mean, you're a pump man. You can't you can't do that, you know what I mean. And and and let's be for real, the city is taking away so many of these services that we used to have to be able to go out and talk to people. You can't do that, you know what I mean. That's why we got so many homeless people laying on these streets around here, you know what I mean, especially downtown. You walk around, you're like yo, waiting mental mental issues is crazy, you know. And and with the way again, with the way society is, people are turning more and more to drugs too, because they can't deal with society, so they figured to look at the easy way out. So we got the mental this going up, you got the drugs that go on up. And that's again that's another thing that I talk about in the self defense class because I added, like I said, I added the carjacking thing because the carjacking thing is crazy. We see it now all the time. Carjacking is crazy. But I also put in a little segment talking about first day and CPR. Because you at home, something happens before again you called rescue. Rescue may not get there. So we need to learn how to save ourselves before somebody else can save you. Because this is crazy. And with the academic with drugs going on now, you know, I teach everybody in my class. I spent five and ten minutes on showing them how to use nark can. Nark Can is big, you know what, And it's not illegal to carry to something like people that act that's just for long, No, it's not. It's not wrong when you got some nark can, caring and your possable and to save somebody else if you choose to do that. You know you might have a family member, you know, you know what, this person using drugs and do you walk over their personal house and they go under before rescue is somebody can say them. You need to be able step in because you can order that, yes you can. Or what about what about vacations like women who solo vacations stuff. Is that that that is a big thing to again because with the be for real, with this, with the limited choice of men out here, a lot of women are doing things on their own and then vacation. I don't recommend you going on vacation by yourself because you're going to this islands and stuff like that. Again, every time we turn on the news such and such as missing you a target. I'm sitting at the airport. I'm a bad guy. I'm watching you, know what I mean. I see you come through. Nope, she by herself. So I get maybe a nice looking man to come up and start talking to you. Get your tension. You're a vacation you and the whole nother mindset start talking to you. Learning a couple of things about you. It's a rat I'm big, and it's not. I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do, but also you gotta be very aware of what you're doing. I can't, of course, I can't tell you. That's not you can't do that, but you need to be aware of what you're going. One of the other things that they tell you not to do, and this I don't do this, but I know a lot of peop people who do like, you're leaving your home and now you're telling people you're on vacation, so now there's an empty house. You know what I mean? Again, that goes back to that whole social media thing. Okay, stop stop that, damn so stop stop putting on it. I'm doing this. I'm going here now. Yes, there's nothing wrong with letting somebody you trust, one person know or maybe to know. Yeah, because somebody needs to watch your house. Something happens, so yeah, that's fine, but stop putting on there I'm doing this or even saying I'm out to dinner with such and such because she's sitting there. Oh she had to stay forty eight exception, she'd be about an hour two hours. That gives us enough the time to climb through that window. Absolutely, stop doing that and when you come back, but things stop posting while you're there. You can wait till you get back home and posting right because what's starting to happen is people are putting their locations. You're girl tripping. I'm in a capoco right now. You don't have to post right now. You could post and say all that stuff when you get home because people are watching you have a lot. How many people do you know? Uh hasard social media? They only get like three likes, but you can look and see dozens of people are looking at your page, so that means they're paying attention. They're just not interacting. So just pay attention to the things that you are doing, ladies. And this is the reason why we have this gentleman here, why don't you tell everyone a little bit more about your company, how they can get in contact with you, and if they want to say, for example, a lesson, what can they do? What's that process? All that good old stuff here. Yes, there's no class that I can't do. If you want a class with two people, that's good people, that's good talk. Do you want to schedule a class? If you just want one on one, that's fine. Do you want to do firearms self defense? If you just want to do first aid CPR, there's nothing that we can't do. You could reach me at a cell phone at two sixty seven four six one eight eight seven eight. Anytime you want to call, it's gonna be two sixty seven four six one eight eight seven eight. And if you want to reach me, fine, you can reach me on Facebook at Omni Shield. All you have to put it in the Omni Shield it would come up. If you don't want to put it on the post, you can DM me. I don't care. Also Instagram, same thing, Omni Show Self Defense, same thing. You can just leave a message. I will get back to you if you want to reach me on LinkedIn. Also the same thing Omni Shift and I'll respond within a couple hours. I mean, I'm busy, but I'm always looking. I get texas, I get calls all the time. People want to set up classes again. I mean, firearms is big now again, Like I said, a lot of women now want to learn how to protect themselves. And I sit down and I'm not going to say I'm just gonna take you to range. I'm gonna talk to you first because I want to see who your mindset is. Because if you feel though you just want to get a firearm because Kareem is out the street cheating, Nah, we ain't gonna do that. Yeah, ain't doing that. I want to know why you want to do this, and talk to you and if you have kids at the house before do that, because yeah, there is responsibility, because I want to teach responsibility. And another quick thing is and I'm pretty sure I don't know you, ladies said, a lot of women canter around peppestraate right, you know what, I want you to hold that thought real quick. We go do an ID check you're listening to. We talked weeklies after the Talk on w p P M l P Philadelphia one on six point five film. We talked weeklies after the Talk with your boy Charles Gregor and beautiful and beautiful. We're here with someone with whom I have a trumendous amount of a trumendous amount of respect for, mister Randy Crawford. He's talking a little bit about self defense, how to protect yourself, how to get in contact with him, and awareness, which is a big thing that a lot of people don't think about. Your awareness. Making sure that you don't have two iPods, and when you're walking or when you're on the street, making sure you understand what's behind you, pick your head up from your phone. Pay attention, pay attention, pay attention. Go ahead, my brother. Yeah, this is one I'll elaborate on peppers Ray. This is the funniest thing every bit. When I used to em thro the pocketbooks out, everybody had pepper stray or spray in there, spray back. Let me explain something to you. When you go to the store and purchase this stuff, a lot of stuff is watered down. Okay. Peppestray that you get from the store may last a month or two. So let's think about this. Somebody comes out and you pull out that pepper spray and spray it. How many women have been hit with peppesstray before? Exactly? So the average bad guy has been sprayed before. So who do you think is gonna take that hit better? So all you're doing is helping the bad guy. You're blinding yourself. Okay. A lot of them wearing masks. Now you know what I'm saying. You're blinding yourself, which is helping him out. Okay, so be mindful if you're using this peppers stuff. I've carried pepper spray of my duty belt for about twenty seven years. I've only used it once on a on a human or a dog her. I used it once on a guy that was on like pc PA right that we didn't know. But every time that I seen officer displayed deployed pepper spray, it seemed like all the cops was coughing and the bulls. So look, so since you're talking about that, right, so I'm curious to know. So we understand pepper spray. What about you know, this new you know thing with a lot of the ladies carrying kind of likesers, you know, taser guns handheld. You know, here's the thing. In my class, I teach that I don't want that guy to get near you. For you to use a taze on me, that means you messed up. I'm already on you. God, you know. And again, if I got a jacket on, if I got a hoodie on, but you ain't tasting me, this is supposed to be making noise. I'm in a situation where we tasted the guy and he thought like it was nothing because again, doesn't go through all your clothes. So now if they can't women, and unless you're a law enforcement legally who carry the tasers that we carry, So you're caring a taser which somebody's gotta come up on to you, you gotta he's too close to you. My I teach myself classes. He is not going to get that close yet. I know that's right. So so if we so what if what about the women who are scared of guns, right, pepper spray not so much, taser got to get too close outside of a firearm, What would you recommend because even just handing the hand colm back, you still gotta get close, right. So what else in terms of self defense items can a young lady carry That will be something that you would recommend. You could use, I mean anything, You could use a fouling, same thing us as you follow your fingernails down. That can be used as an as a knife, you know what I'm saying. You could use an inky pen. Stab that man in the eye, you know what I mean, Stab them in the throat. You know, there's things that you carry in your pocketbook, believe it or not, keys, car keys, fishes. If you hold a car key, you're right, you can do some damage. You know. I teach women how to hold the car keys between their fingers and when they punch a god, he didn't even know she had car keys in her fingers. Speaking of fingers, so when women, we wear our heels, we do our nails, that type of stuff. Would you suggest that certain things like even when you're out and about, take those heels off and put on some shoes. Or don't have your nails so long so that you can't protect yourself if they're false nails, Like are those a part of your classes that you tend to, Well, you can't. I mean you know a lot of women like the certain ways. So you can't see him tell women they can't wear nails and stuff like that, because if they wear in a real loan nails, most likely they're false anyway, fake anyway. So if you try to scratch somebody, they're gonna break. So again, if you got if you're going out to the club, y'all going out to the dinner, and you need to walk a little distance, you know, carry them little flats in your shoes so somebody does come at you, at least you have some kind of balance. You're not gonna have any balance on your heels. If you have to do hevy heels one and you take that heels off and use that as a spike, Yeah, it's a spike. You have to You have to learn and use everything that's on your body. You know, sometimes you might have something that's sharp on your pocketbook. Use that. This is if somebody, if a person decides to lay hands with you. To me, that's life and death because we're in the time now when these people are not going to just punch you, grab your pocket book and roll. They want to punch you, kill you and make a statement then roll, you know what I mean. So unfortunately we're in that time, so, you know what, we have to start defending ourselves like that, somebody lays hands on you, that's a life and death situation because it's no, it's no, there's no mercy rule, no more. In twenty twenty three, I like how you said the eyes though, yeah, like jab him in the eye, but don't be scared. Don't be scared. He first of all, he laid hands on you, so that fear right there should be going you know you because you know and learn the screen makes the noids. I mean, yeah, we're in a time now where people just pull out their phone instead of helping. But you know what I mean, if you lace, if you scream and say hey stop, stop stopping, and you have to defend yourself, if you are caring like a firearm something like that, at least people sayyll what I heard her say, stop before she kills you, right, you know what I mean. So I'm sorry, one last thing before we let you go. H So, one thing that's big now is the school shootings. And you spoke to Mandy's Learning Center and you talk to them about the importance of not opening classroom doors and what to do in the event of an active shooter. A lot of times we don't think about when we go out to different places, the movie theaters, the restaurants, the malls, and things like that. We don't think about being prepared for an active shooter. What's some things that people can do? Places like the mall, the movies school are called soft soft targets. They are one of the most dangerous places to go. Now, when you go in the malls, how many times you turn on the news you see malls shooting. How many times you go to the movies movies shooting? How many times you going out to bars or clubs shoot? First of all, you should know your exits. Okay, walk in the mall, look around, see where your exit are. You walk into a movie theater, look around and see where your exits are. When I go anywhere, I never sit to my back to the door because I want to watch who comes in. Could you know when you walk in you see them guys walking them girls, your hair standing up like something wrong, you know, don't be afraid. Say yo, babe, let's get up and roll you know what I mean? Why and talk to your partner. Say hey, if you ever see me get up and say this, do that. You already know something up? You know what I mean. We need to get out here and we discuss it afterwards, you know what I mean. I've always talked to my girls and right here. They would tell you when they were in school, they're like, dadd they doing. I said, no, let me tell you something. If you have an actor shooter coming to school, do not run in the classroom. Don't run in the classroom and ball up in a ball and high and no, learn your exits. As soon as you think something will run to the nearest ass. A lot harder for me to shoot you moving like this than sitting in a ball in the corner, because it doesn't take anything for me to get into that classroom door. The teacher's not gonna have a gun to protect you. You're sitting there. And if you look at any school shooting, any school shooting, any one of those all those kids that were killed was killed in the classroom. Huddle up, you know, get out in those hallways, run your ass off to the near exit. Don't worry about it. And one of your teachers say something, you call me. You know what I mean. You call me your concil because you tell me your and I'll come up there and I tell them, no, I told my daughters if something happened, don't go in that classroom and be a sitting target. You know, have a fighting chance. Get out of that classroom, Get out of that hallway, Get out of that restaurant, get out of I know your daughter's boyfriends is like, I gotta meet your pot. Yeah, yeah, my daughter's up called me lake View, right, no doubt they think I'm crazy. He let you go.
