Texas License Data Breach, Drinking Jacket Science & The Kidney Stone Chronicles

Texas License Data Breach, Drinking Jacket Science & The Kidney Stone Chronicles

The boys are back on Wilder Minds, presented by ALP, and this one starts exactly where it should…with kidney stones, blown-out backs, aging bodies, and the beautiful disaster of getting older. From there, the conversation rolls into a Fourth of July sports-and-outdoors grab bag: World Cup soccer confusion, Messi and Ronaldo greatness, Scotty Scheffler’s mindset, John Daly being John Daly, and why every kid in hockey is trying to pull off the drag-toe. The guys also dig into Michigan elk tag heartbreak, the massive Texas hunting and fishing license data breach, water rights and crowding in Alaska, and a wild new “drinking jacket” that pulls water straight from the air. It’s pain, patriotism, Busch Lights, soccer flops, hex hatches, sheep camp memories, and a hard look at how access to the wild is changing everywhere.

Freedom, Fights & Fish Stories, White House Bloodsport, Stanley Cup Glory, Musk Math, The Story of Rip & Whopper Ploppers

This week on Wilder Minds, the boys come in hot after one of the wildest sports weekends in recent memory. UFC at the White House, Stanley Cup tears, the Knicks finally climbing the mountain, World Cup chaos, LPGA in Midland, and a whole lot of America packed into one episode. The boys break down the spectacle, the pageantry, the fights, the fighters, the flags, the flyovers, and why sometimes people just need to let a great American moment be exactly that. From Justin Gaethje’s iron will to Rod Brind’Amour’s blue-collar Cup story, this episode leans hard into the stuff we love most: grit,discipline, sports, patriotism, hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. There’s also talk on Elon Musk hitting trillionaire status, SpaceX, Starlink, the difference between millions, billions and trillions, plus summer smallmouth fishing, whopper ploppers, The Story of RIP, and what’s coming next in the hunting world. Nobody else is bouncing from UFC bloodsport to Stanley Cup emotion to topwater smallmouth and whitetail films like Wilder Minds. That’s the lane. Hunting, outdoors, sports, and the kind of conversations you won’t hear anywhere else. Presented by ALP Nicotine Pouches.

Proposed Oregon Hunt Ban, The Windy City HOF Scramble and Stories from the CMA's

The boys are back after a wild weekend that had everyone scattered across the country. Casey recaps his trip to CMA Fest in Nashville, including Busch Light’s Flavor Showdown, surprise performances, celebrity sightings, and a crowd that nearly tore down the fences during Waka Flocka Flame’s unforgettable set. Meanwhile, Chris heads to Chicago for the first-ever Hall of Fame Challenge, spending a day on the golf course with sports legends Brian Urlacher, Jeremy Roenick, Dennis Savard, Toni Kukoč, and Harold Baines. The stories, competitiveness, and personalities of some of Chicago’s greatest athletes prove one thing: Hall of Famers never stop competing. The conversation then shifts to a topic that struck a nerve across the outdoor community. After a social media post sparked thousands of shares and comments, the guys revisit Oregon’s controversial IP 28 proposal and discuss why hunters, anglers, conservationists, and outdoor enthusiasts need to pay attention to what’s happening beyond their own backyard. Plus, NHL and NBA playoff talk, LPGA stars arriving in Midland, a new golf gambling game called Snake-Fish-Camel, and plenty of laughs along the way. From Nashville stages to Chicago fairways to the issues shaping the future of the outdoors, this episode covers it all.

The Big Miss, Gobbler Season Recap, Pouch Pushers, The CMA’s & Nicotine 101

Wilder Minds is officially presented by ALP Nicotine Pouches, and the guys kick off Episode 57 with the big announcement before rolling into the final stories of turkey season. From Jason’s shocking last-day miss at seven yards to Gibson’s river-bottom roost hunt before heading off to summer baseball in New York, this episode wraps the spring woods with a mix of laughs, lessons, and the kind of mornings that make the season worth it. The crew also looks back on a strong year of turkey hunts, including youth hunts, first-timers, and the unforgettable Herman Moore and Scott Mitchell hunt now available on the Keefer Brothers app. From there, the conversation shifts into current outdoor issues, proposed hunting and fishing regulations, and the importance of staying aware as sportsmen. To close it out, the guys talk summer plans, CMA Fest with Busch Light, TAC events in Michigan, old Jeeps, trout rivers, and the simple pull of getting back outside when the weather finally turns.

Babe's Bed, Waterfowl Stories, Pouch Potency, Raising Labs & Snow Geese Tornadoes

This week, the boys cover a little bit of everything...and somehow it all makes perfect sense. What starts as a debate over Busch Light's next flavor quickly spirals into stories from the glory days, complete with beer holsters, potato guns, snow goose camps, and a legendary encounter with a bed allegedly covered in Babe Winkelman hair. Along the way, they revisit some unforgettable hunting memories, from conservation-order snow goose tornadoes in Missouri to waterfowl adventures across Saskatchewan and Manitoba. But at the heart of this episode is a conversation every dog owner will appreciate. The crew dives deep into the world of Labradors, discussing bloodlines, breeding, training, and the unique bond between hunters and their dogs. From Annie's early development as a driven young American Lab to stories of Kenai, Blue, Grizz, and the next generation of hunting companions, it's an honest look at what makes a great dog…and why they become such an important part of our lives. As turkey season winds down, the guys also share a few fresh stories from the field and look ahead to the final days of chasing gobblers before spring comes to a close. It's a mix of hunting stories, dog talk, old memories, and the kind of conversation that happens when friends sit down with no agenda and let the stories take over.
