    He’s a thylacine 2025 update: honestly, this show used to be so much more chill. Now you guys only care about money. The way you sneak your ads in is such a turn off. We should be explicitly told when we are being advertised to, not having you annoyingly interrupt a conversation on wooly mice to tell me about magic mind with no transition whatsoever. I get it, get your bag, but you could go about it in such a better way.

  • Chrisman1129

    Too many sponserships
    I feel like you guys have sold out. I use to learn so much and laugh a lot, it was truly a great podcast to learn from that has just become 85% sponsorship talk and 15% animal talk. Very unfortunate.

    Not what I expected, but what I needed
    I gave this podcast a shot at complete random based off watching Extint or Alive expecting a show about elusive animals, but the animals ended being behind the mics. I'm listening through starting from the begining and constantly catch myself laughing as you guys just rip into each other, it just reminds me of being out with the guys knocking back a few drinks except I can do it now while working out or doing house chores or while in traffic. My only regret is that I didn't listen earlier so I could suggest the Brohirrim for the listener base name. I've suggested the podcast to many of my bros.

    Great podcast but they got to change the BR
    They got to change up the BR into something different we don’t want crazy hybrids anymore but instead something different.
  • Jjstray
    Absolutely amazing podcast
    I just found y’all’s podcast along with Forrest’s shows on Amazon and I’ve been binging the episodes on Spotify and I absolutely love this podcast instantly became one of my favorites and I cant stop listening so hopefully I should catch up soon to the recent podcasts lol
  • Chet Oreily
    Out of touch with reality
    Typically a big fan of the podcasts and have been able to ignore Forrest and Peter’s hot takes. However the most recent episode made me lose brain cells. Hearing the opinions on the reproductive habits of people in 3rd world countries from these clowns truly made me want to off myself so I wouldn’t have to keep listening. Do better.

    10/18/23 Hyenas
    Forrest, I love listening to you talk about your days in Africa, hearing about those animals or some of my favorite bun packs. I had no clue hyenas did not hunt as a pack. The nature documentaries always make it seem like they are in a group not individual.
  • heheheheheuheheue
    The bro stuff gets old real quick
    These farts sound like out of shape 60 year old retired skateboarders. There's interesting stuff if you can wade through the nonsense, but I'm over it.

  • Country boy Pearl
    Love the show
    You guys are so hilarious together but here’s my question are you guys ever going to season three of extinct or alive or is that Shore dead and gone forever?
  • Patrickpainter
    Something wrong
    Something’s wrong with people who give this any less than 6 stars.
  • Ryanmconr
    Great Podcast
    This is an awesome podcast if you want an easy to listen to break, while still being able to learn new fun and interesting facts. This podcast makes science a lot more interesting to listen to than the typical science podcast. Highly recommend!
  • Addison Grote
    Best podcast ever
    I'm not sure how a podcast can get any better than this. I would never be able to complete my 1,000 piece puzzles or go on long road trips without it. I love animals and this involves animals in a super fun and entertaining way.
  • crzytielma
    So funny
    Find this podcast super interesting and hilarious. Would love to hear the guys theories on “alien big cats” I.e. black panthers in the US, African lions in England etc. I for one have never seen any evidence that looks like anything other than a house cat but 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Best show
    Never laughed and enjoyed sipping a beer and enjoying a podcast more than this show
  • Imawarriors
    Bros
    A biologist and an Eric bana look alike make fun of a homeless guy for an hour every week. Occasionally they talk about animals.
  • Abe113343224521
    New merch
    Love the show, and especially your new podcast logo. That would make a great hat, the logo sewn on a hat, patch style would make an elite hat.
  • TrucklessYooper
    Accurate information??
    Considering they have a wildlife expert on this show, some of the crap that comes out of his mouth is frighteningly inaccurate. I mean he does say things like “I think” or “im pretty sure”, but im shocked someone in his position would allow questionable information to leave his mouth and be published. Love the topics, love his tv show, but if he wants people to take him seriously, there needs to be a fact checker on this podcast to correct things they talk about.

    Awesome 5 star but I’ll take 1 away for the mint ice cream hate. Hahahaha love you guys especially Retep
  • DEADBOYCODY
    The opposite of meager
    Every other podcast is very meager, this one is transcendent. That’s all I gotta say
  • deejaycab
    Bro-pology
    I love this podcast. Perfect combo of science and bro life. Need more battle royales (maybe that’s a short you can put up on the YouTube) but honesty love listening and can’t wait for more.
  • Mountain Dougan
    Love this show!!
    I’m giving it to Retep!!!!! A snake head that flies silent !!! Love it

    Really Great
    I really love this podcast , I work as a cow an horse doctor for a feedyard here in texas I listen to this podcast an some other ones while ridin thru pens an doctoring cattle please keep making podcast !!!
  • Srfuemmeler
    Not for Karen’s.
    This podcast has me laughing on a daily. Currently trying to play catch-up but this is definitely not for Karen’s. Finally a podcast I can relate to as a female who loves hanging with the bros and learning about wildlife.
  • FkinErin
    Hidden Gen
    Love the podcast, love the bros, love the whole vibe. I feel like this podcast is definitely a hidden gem. I maybe the only female that listens to this podcast though. 😂
  • ashleybray
    Sometimes irresponsible
    I edited my review because as time goes on, I feel like this pod (mostly Retep because he’s in charge of the Insta) can be really irresponsible about the content they share. I was hoping this would be an educational and funny podcast about wildlife but it doesn’t always deliver, especially when Forrest isn’t present. As a major wildlife podcast I think more care should be taken about how we talk about (and show people) interacting with wildlife.
  • Cbears81
    Any Wildlife Enthusiasts Dream Banter 😂
    This podcast is a must listen! You definitely won’t regret you tuned in - it made my drive from Santa Barbara to San Diego feel like the shortest trip yet, and I was laughing the whole way there... Topics include creating fictitious species from imagination to the hit show Tiger King to backstage insight of all Forrest’s explorations, including the filming of his Animal Planet Show. I think the gorilla with a rhino face and giraffe legs, takes the cake on the duel...anything is better than that bat/owl rat tail one from the first show though 😂 you had me at cheesecake, cheescake wins!
  • Dvossy18
    Top 3 DFL

  • Anthony Pantaline
    Top Tier Podcast
    The best wildlife podcast in the world. Filled with interesting facts about wildlife, current wildlife news, and comedic relief from three bros. 5/5 highly recommended.
  • Florida's Finest Gator
    Favorite Podcast
    I actually enjoy having Forrest be able to be himself in this podcast and just banter with Retep and Patrick about random topics as well as all of the wildlife goodness you’d want to expect without it being a boring documentary-style podcast. A fun listen all around! Also, wouldn’t have taken Forrest for a Blink-182 fan but that was pleasantly surprising to find out.
  • elleplex91
    What a wasted opportunity..
    I had really high hopes for this, I thought a wild life podcast with Forrest would be filled with interesting facts about animals and biology. It’s really just three frat boys getting drunk and calling it a podcast.
  • Christian205
    The Funniest Wildlife Podcast
    Animal Planet star Forrest Galante gets bored and creates a podcast during the pandemic. How did he nail such a hit in his first podcast adventure? Because he’s not a dummy and knows his stuff. Add in a pinch of wildlife producers and tech wizards and you have educational comedic gold. Can’t recommend this enough for wildlife lovers or fans of Extinct or Alive.
  • LizGrant302
    Awesome Podcast
    This pod has all my favorite things! Fun animal facts? Check. Behind the scenes Extinct or Alive stories? Check. Top-notch banter? Check. A high point of each week for sure!
  • Ur d I c k
    Doosh Baggies
    Tune in if you want to listen to self serving, shirtless Cali bros getting drunk on air. Actually pathetic compared to forrests other work. Broduser is the biggest tool of the bunch lol.
  • Andy_Mart
    The Wild Times Pod summed up in one sentence...
    Just a couple of guys being dudes
  • MakroYianni
    This show is awesome
    Forrest Galante’s love of all things wild is inspiring. My daughter wants to discover extinct animals now because of him. Keep up the good work fellas.
  • TheDirtDawg
    Love the pod
    I finally caught up on every episode and I must say Forest and Pat are great! reteP isn’t that bad but I do despise Peter. Maybe we can phase him out for Grayber or anyone else. Can’t wait to catch a live
  • Chase Berens
    My name is Chase
    And I would love a signed copy of Forrests book
  • Leongirl87
    Love this podcast
    And I would love to get my son Chase a signed copy of Forrest’s book.

    Ep 48
    Retep wins with the best pick being a seagull. Seagulls always know where food is, just go to any beach in Florida once.

    The wild times podcast is life
    Honestly if I didn’t have the wild times podcast, during COVID it would be lost forever
