Wingmen Show

Two Dope Boys in a Navy jet. The Wingmen Show is a weekly podcast about challenges and opportunities in everyday life. Your hosts are two guys born in Harlem, New York previously unknown to each other. Separately, they became Navy pilots flying high performance jet aircraft on and off of aircraft carriers patrolling the world’s oceans. Their paths did not cross formally until they ended up flying for the same airline after their active-duty military service had ended. They have a wide range of experiences spanning the worlds of basketball and boxing. Drew’s father is Drew Bundini Brown, Muhammad Ali’s Wingman and coined the iconic phrase “Float Like A Butterfly Sting, Like A Bee". Martial Arts and Show Business are also areas of mutual interest. Drew has been featured nationally on television programs such as the Donahue Show and the Today Show. He has also appeared in hundreds of newspapers and magazines. Both are published authors as well as former Navy jet pilots and Commercial Airline Pilots; they retired after having flown the Boeing 777 airliner. The cultural mix of religions, immigrant parents and grandparents from Europe and the Caribbean gives them an uncommon perspective on racial matters. Melding the cultures of New York City, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Memphis, the Caribbean and Atlanta has helped shape their worldview when combined with the life they have seen and experienced having flown extensively to countries throughout the world.They are wingmen to each other, providing advice, guidance and constructive criticism when needed. The goal of the show is to inspire and entertain those unafraid to expand their minds and perhaps learn something new in the hope that the listeners can become wingmen to others. Each one, teach one.

Sometimes it can be better to give than receive. Two olympic champion pole vaulters mutually agreed to share a gold medal so that each one would receive equal recognition for their accomplishments. Drew loved his recent electric vehicle experience, but he had to have patience when it came to recharging the battery. Even though the top ten cities deemed the most livable in the world were outside of the U.S., three of them are in North America; Canada to be specific. A young pilot for United Airlines got the chance to work with his mom on the same flight. While he was operating as the First Officer in the cockpit, his mother was the senior flight attendant serving passengers in the cabin. Obesity is a global epidemic that shortens the life and increases the misery index for millions. The best way to help someone overcome a morbidly obese condition is to approach them with compassion and show a genuine willingness to help. A great way to start is to present them with healthier food choices and the need to begin some type of physical training they enjoy. Our wingman was a Hawaiian hero who rescued a group of people from a marauding wildfire.
