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.

Gobbler Stories, The Gladhander, Playoff Hockey and Micro-Wrestling

Turkey season is in full swing, and the boys are back with another wild one. In this episode, they recap a week of close-call gobbler hunts, storm chaos, busted setups, old birds with attitude, and the kind of camp laughter that makes spring turkey season so addicting. From Mike “The Gladhander” Passaglia’s five-yard turkey hammer job to an educated longbeard that refused to break, the conversation rolls through calling strategy, decoy lessons, Winchester Longbeard performance, and why some gobblers just do whatever they want. The crew also dives into new gear from Eberlestock, upcoming app content, the chaos of spring production season, hockey memories, Montreal playoff energy, Mike Tyson, and a few stories that go completely off the rails in true Wilder Minds fashion. It’s hunting, gear, sports, old friends, and ridiculous stories…exactly the way a Wilder Minds episode should be.

NFL Legends & MI Longbeards, A Decade of the 989 Gobbler Club, Petey's a Jerk & Another Hole-in-One

Episode 54 of Wilder Minds is fueled by cold mornings, bad decisions, Busch Lights, and gobblers that apparently hold grudges for a full decade. The crew celebrates the 10-year anniversary of the legendary 989 Gobbler Club and revisits the hunt that started it all, including the shocking return of turkeys to the exact same field where the “Fallujah” massacre happened ten years ago. Coincidence? Probably. Revenge mission? Also possible. From frozen decoys and flooded boots to grown men laying prone in tall grass like Navy SEALs, this episode is peak turkey season chaos. The guys break down one of the wildest spring hunts they’ve had in years, complete with birds sprinting to the decoys and plenty of whiskey-fueled camp stories. The episode also features an unforgettable hunt with former Detroit Lions legends Herman Moore and Scott Mitchell, who traded NFL pressure for the emotional rollercoaster of their first turkey hunts. Turns out, standing over a game-winning pass and staring down a gobbler at 15 yards feel a little more similar than you’d think. And because no Wilder Minds episode stays on track for long, the conversation spirals into hole-in-ones, catastrophic golf swings, legendary divots preserved like museum artifacts, and why today’s golfers are basically just turkey hunters with polos and Bluetooth speakers. It’s springtime in Michigan: the birds are gobbling, the boys are running on caffeine and poor judgment, and somehow the stories keep getting better.

200" Bucks at Full Draw, Scumbag Hockey, Hulk Hogan and The Million Dollar Divot

Spring is here and the guys are back in the studio cracking cold Busch Light Apples and gearing up for the final stretch of turkey season. The conversation bounces from hunting plans and close calls to the chaos of social media, where they sound off on keyboard warriors and where the line gets crossed. Along the way, they mix in some sports talk with NHL playoff moments, a little nostalgia from the rise of Hulk Hogan, and a quick take on the ongoing tension between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. Jason also share a legendary story about snagging a “million-dollar divot” from Lee Trevino after a hole-in-one moment. The episode wraps around one of their most memorable hunting stories…the pursuit of “Shakes,” a giant Kansas whitetail, and the moment everything unraveled at full draw. It’s a laid-back, unfiltered episode packed with stories, laughs, and real talk from the field.

Roost Hunts, Keyboard Warriors & the Legendary Race of the Nipple Skippers

Fresh off wrapping the Dropped behind-the-scenes series, the guys are back in the studio...and the conversation goes everywhere. From viral throwback hunts pulling millions of views to the chaos of social media comment sections, thisepisode dives into the wild world of online reactions, keyboard warriors, and why the internet remains undefeated. They break down the explosion of old Alaska moose footage finding new life, the strategy behind short-form storytelling, and the reality of putting content out for the masses...good, bad, and ridiculous. Along the way, you’ll get classic WilderMinds banter, including the latest social media trends (yes, grown men trying...and failing to skip), algorithm rabbit holes, and the unfiltered truth about engaging with critics. The conversation shifts back outdoors with the kickoff of Michigan turkey season...early mornings, roost hunts, and why “angry time” might be the real play. Toss in NHL playoff talk, draft debates, and one of the most random Hollywood storiesyou’ll ever hear (involving a beer with some all-time legends), and you’ve got a full ride. This episode is equal parts hunting, storytelling, and straight-up chaos...exactly how Wilder Minds should be. Watch, listen, and remember: if you leave a negative comment... don’t expect a reply.
