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.

Be careful of judging people and things too quickly. Everyone can be a critic, but it’s better to seek solutions rather than constantly finding fault.
Some people fear the unknown and reject new ideas out of reflex because of the need think to critically, which requires extra effort. Take a step outside of your convenient comfort zone to get a perspective that may actually improve your life, if you are willing to take the trouble to look at things from a different angle.
Everyone is interested in life extension. Changing a few habits, just a little can yield great benefits. Small improvements in sleep, diet and exercise can give you a better chance of a sustained healthy life as you age.
Although no longer flying, the SR-71 Blackbird flown by the U.S. Air Force and the civilian Central Intelligence Agency was a plane like no other. It was developed to be a fast, high altitude reconnaissance aircraft. Flying near the edge of space, and taking photographs of sensitive areas, its primary defensive tactic was to simply fly away faster than any missile actively tracking it whenever threatened.
Meet a pair of Wingmen who separately came to the aid of a distressed veteran that was able to regain his place as one of the few and one of the proud.
