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.

Sent us text! We would love to hear from you!

Maintaining a positive attitude will take you farther in life than just being down in the dumps all the time.

Central Park in New York City serves as a meeting place for different kinds of people. An encounter between a birdwatcher and a pet owner who found themselves in the same place at the same time led to an incident that became a national news story. But despite all of the negative implications of yet another incident of racial profiling taking center stage in public discussion, there was an unexpected positive outcome. The bird watcher who was accused of being “threatening” faced no charges because video evidence showed the complaint had no merit. Subsequent to this ordeal, this Harvard educated birdwatcher has received a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Daytime Personality from National Geographic for his show Extraordinary Birder.

Despite what you hear in the news, there are good things going on in the USA; the wingmen cover ten of them.

It may be a coincidence, but another multibillionaire has donated one billion dollars to a medical school to cover tuition and other expenses to aspiring doctors, relieving them of massive school debt. Former New York City mayor, Michael Bloomberg donated one billion dollars to the medical school of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland from his philanthropic foundation.

If you visit the city of Barcelona in Spain, you may need to carry an umbrella even on sunny days if the locals decide to encourage you to visit elsewhere by firing water pistols to get you on your way.

If you have nasty neighbors, take the kind and understanding approach at first. If subtle things don’t help, consider building some kind of barrier or just moving altogether.

Meet a wingman who built one hundred modern homes for impoverished people in the Caribbean, South America and Mexico; despite his easily recognized name, he is more of an angel than a beast.
