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.

    Hormones are chemical messages that perform different functions in your body. Of all of the different hormones inside of you there are four in particular that actually make you happy. For a good time, embrace the hormones Dopamine, Serotonin, Oxytocin and another group called Endorphins.

    There is a brand new Womens professional baseball league starting up. Few people realize there was already a Womens professional league called the All- American Girls Professional Baseball league that was in operation between 1943 and 1954.

    If you want to give a special gift that is truly unique, use your creativity and make something yourself. It can be complex or something simple; what makes is special is that is created by you.

    If you have a chance to attend college or matriculate into any form of higher education or training, you should take advantage of it. Avoiding school is not an option for those who don’t want to be on the bottom rung of things for the rest of their lives.

    One of the best ways to have a happier life is to avoid spending time debating with ignorant people. It’s rare that anything useful will come out of a back and forth with someone who thinks they are an authority on a subject but can only repeat something they have heard without thinking critically about it.

    There are good things happening with young people that fly below the radar. The recent competition to find America’s Top Young Scientist, sponsored by the 3M corporation had a young winner who developed a germ detection mechanism that may one day make grocery shopping safer and easier.

    Women’s basketball has become so popular now that the Womens National Basketball Association is expanding the number of teams beginning with the addition of the Toronto Tempo’s to be followed by three other new teams in the coming years.

    Recent studies confirm that drinking coffee can lead to a longer life. Dr. Paul is reconsidering his mantra of “no coffee for me.” He may use it to compliment his consumption of green tea and dark chocolate which have some of the same benefits.

    When life knocks you to the ground, be sure to get back up. Since the world does not revolve around us, we must adapt to the world.

    As we always say, keep your body moving. Studies show that as little as five minutes of exercise can help lower blood pressure.

  • How to Make 40 Million Dollars Fighting an Old Man

    There are no shortcuts to greatness. Worthwhile things take time. What may appear as overnight success is probably an illusion many people have because the stress and strain in accomplishing something significant is invisible to those who only see the victory, but not what’s behind it.

    Professional boxing is a tough way to make a living. It’s far tougher to become a champion. But for those who make it to that level of greatness; notoriety, wealth and sometimes bankruptcy follows. The recent, (so-called) prize fight between Jake Paul and former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson was more of a celebration of the celebrity of being a celebrity. The biggest fight outside of Las Vegas left true boxing fans with a feeling of emptiness while the combatants enriched themselves by making more money in one minute than most people will earn in a lifetime.

    As a general rule going to college is a great investment. Therefore the selection of courses is of utmost importance, especially if the tuition is high. If one attends the prestigious university known as Yale, you can take an actual course on one of the preeminent entertainers in the world today, the great Beyonce. Just keep in mind it will cost you up to (approximately) $21,500 for the experience. So, invest wisely.

    Young married couples frequently have the challenge of dealing with parents and parents-in-law that have strong opinions and criticisms of their younger offspring in matters big and small, making life difficult for all involved. It’s best for all parties to gather together, call a truce if appropriate, and sort out their problems with each other before irreparable harm is done to family relations.

    Meet a couple, this unusual pair of wingmen who have blazed a trail to assist other couples with disabilities to establish their own happy and healthy families. They are able to accomplish this mission of love despite having disabilities of their own.
