Wingmen Show

By: Drew Brown and Paul Thompson
  • Summary

  • 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.

  • How to be a Billionaire and NOT go to Jail for Life!
    Oct 1 2024

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

    Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius was known as a proponent of stoic wisdom. Had he lived longer, he probably would have come up with the phrase, “Be All You Can Be”, centuries before the US Army used it in recruiting ads on TV.

    There are good things happening everyday. As an example, multi-billionaire Elon Musk is teaming up with the phone company T-mobile, in an effort to integrate his Star Link satellite service with their cellphone system. The goal is to allow people in remote sections around the earth with little to no cellphone service to be able to communicate to rescuers without charge and get critical assistance whenever it is needed.

    Commander Drew shares a special distinction with the famous singer Dolly Parton. Both have been recognized for their significant contributions to the people in the state of Kentucky and officially designated as Kentucky Colonels; the state’s highest civilian award.

    It’s probably cool to be a billionaire, but it may have some drawbacks. Many of the negatives can be avoided when assuming a low profile. But the emergence of high profile super moguls has created another category of wealthy people who receive constant coverage from the media for getting in some kind of needless trouble.

    Mixing a little watercress with your salads, soups, or smoothies can provide a wide range of hidden health benefits, especially for those whose diet could use a serious upgrade.

    Meet a unique wingman from a rival cargo company that delivered the gift of life to a person in need.

  • How to Buy a Tesla Cyber Truck? Get the New iPhone!

    Kindness costs nothing, but can mean everything to someone who really needs it.

    In an effort to bring out some good things happening in the world, consider the case of a high school football team in Riverside, California, composed totally of deaf children who were underestimated and mocked, but overcame their difficulties and have won two successive championships in their division.

    Technology is moving at a pace that will revolutionize medical diagnoses and treatment in the near future. Wearable devices coupled with the expansion of artificial intelligence, will soon provide doctors and patients with the ability to monitor and treat those who are saddled with a wide range of afflictions .

    If you are interested in getting a Tesla Cyber Truck, you better have an iPhone nearby. You will need the Tesla App to communicate your desire with the company. There is no direct human-to-human communication. Everything is done by smartphone.

    The subject of racism is an unpleasant one for all concerned. But when one has a purposeful goal, there may be times when it will be necessary to muster high degrees of intestinal fortitude to overcome artificial barriers arbitrarily put in place to halt your forward progress. While some people you encounter may not be friends, everyone is not your enemy either. Be on the lookout for good people and potential alliances along your path to opportunity.

    Meet a famous celebrity who unexpectedly became an wingman to a young woman in serious trouble, continuing his legacy of giving back to communities in need.

  • How To Get On The Mount Rushmore of Thespians (Actors)…. Be James Earl Jones!
    Sep 17 2024

    If you want to understand people you need to listen to them before you begin speaking. There are many good things going on in the world. The Wingman Show always aims to be positive and leave you with a positive outlook.

    Although not headline news, NBA Hall of Fame alum, and beloved broadcaster on all things basketball, the one and only Charles Barkley, has quietly donated one million dollars to St. Marys Academy in New Orleans. This is the school that produced the two young ladies who proved the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry in a manner once thought to be impossible.

    The world lost one of its greatest actors. James Earl Jones who appeared in a wide range of movies, Broadway plays, and VoiceOver narration for such legendary characters as the Lion King and the unmistakable voice of the character Darth Vader in the movie Star Wars. He is also one of the few people in the world who earned an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony Awards.

    No one wants to suffer a painful injury, but if you “break-a-leg” in show business like Commander Drew did when he was a thespian, that’s a good thing.

    Do you have to have perfect (20/20) vision to fly an airplane?

    No you don’t, just get a a pair of prescription eye glasses.

    Meet a little wingman who completed a big job that helped save a life.
