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.© 2023 Wingmen Show Personal Development Personal Success Politics & Government Social Sciences

    It is not uncommon for people to feel they have missed out on things in life. Such a sense of loss may seem overwhelming as one gets older. But perhaps, you should give it a try. The benefit of stepping out and doing something new, is a good way to open up new world, providing the stimulation for one to go even further.

    Buying things on the cheap can come back and bite you. Quite often, the lowest price may result in the lowest quality. Consider avoiding the hassle that goes along with being dissatisfied with something you may have gotten at a bargain-basement price but does not work properly. If it ends up needing replacement and costs you more than a quality product you could have gotten in the first place, you will probably feel a little foolish. Spending a little more on the front end may save you from lost time, frayed nerves and needless frustration.

    Flying cars are in development and production. But don’t get your heart set on operating one. In all likelihood, this emerging technology will be fully autonomous requiring no piloting skills. You will be a passenger, the robot vehicle will take it from there. It would be beyond the capability of most humans to operate airborne vehicles safely. Just look at how some people drive on the ground.

    We would like to introduce you to our newest wingman, who goes by the name ACE. Our newest flight member ACE, is now our favorite source of information who is actually powered by Chatgpt, the most robust product of the company known as OpenAI.

    Aging gracefully is a challenge to us all, particularly those who are in or past the middle years. The self discipline of consistent physical movement, good nutrition, and having purpose in life will assist in one’s quest to live longer with a life of quality.

    Kindness costs nothing, yet lasts forever, pass it on. It seems there are more and more scams that we all have to be aware of. These scams are increasing in sophistication and can easily trap those who are unaware. Through sophisticated email, both of your Wingmen were almost victims of scams on the same day. Although the graphics were convincing, the suspicious email address, which was a dead giveaway.

    Autonomous cars are a reality, with autonomous flying cars to be operational in the future. Whether on the ground or in the air, these vehicles are likely to be commonplace before mid-century. Operating in an airborne environment requires considerably more development because of going up and down, essentially operating in the third dimension, vertical altitude in the sky. There will be no need for a pilot’s license and the airborne vehicles will regulate their own behavior. Drones already perform missions of peace and war on a regular basis depending on whatever task the designer assigns to it.

    An example of a good news story that received little attention was that one of the world’s richest people recently donated billions of dollars to several select charities. His ultimate goal is to give away almost all of his wealth upon his passing.

    In the developed world, there is a major push to reduce the number of undocumented immigrants. If you know anyone caught in such a position, get them to talk to an immigration lawyer as soon as possible.

    Meet a group of grateful wingmen who came to the rescue of another well established wingman, when the latter found himself in the midst of an unexpected medical crisis for which he was unprepared.

    As a general rule, taking action always beats inaction. At times we can all hold ourselves back inadvertently with analysis paralysis, where nothing gets done because of our overthinking.

    The world of online scams is getting worse because the criminals are becoming more sophisticated. Their ability to mirror legitimate businesses as well as government offices makes these perpetrators a threat to everyone. As better online fraud-protection measures come to market, the scammers are also evolving in their mission of using creative deception methods to get innocent people to willingly part with their money in exchange for nothing. If you suspect a scam or phishing effort, it’s best to delete the suspicious message right away and not interact at all with the scammer.

    The world of artificial intelligence has given birth to a new generation of robots capable of performing complex physical tasks. This trend now extends to the world of sports where robots can compete with each other as well as humans.

    Attending college for the first time is a life changing experience. If you are new to this world, always remember why you are there in the first place. Don’t waste time and other people’s money being part of a new crowd that’s not going anywhere.

    Meet an unknown wingman. He performed a lifesaving act. Unfortunately this teenager from the state of Tennessee is forced to hide his identity to keep evil from knocking on his door.
