Whole Wide Woods (Officially Young Cardinals presents: Whole Wide Woods) is an "outdoors" show hosted by Taylor. The show is considered a spiritual successor to The BEEF STREAM, BEEFYBALL!, as well as the cancelled Midnight in the Mountains project, though only a successor to the first two in that it is being produced during their hiatus'.
History
The concept of a spin-off show for The BEEF STREAM began not long after the 2025 Hiatus began. Taylor, believing that WMG should continue putting out entertainment of some value, had begun brain storming potential ideas, including just doing the show himself. Inspiration struck in late February of 2025 when for the first time in over a decade, Taylor returned to his families ranch property and filming a short clip of him firing a rifle, as well as Actioncam footage of driving around the property in his UTV. From there the concept of an "outdoors" show began in earnest.

Recurring Segments
Live from Pondside
A spiritual successor to AFTER DARK, Live from Pondside was originally conceptualized as a companion podcast to Taylors Young Cardinals photo essay series. The segment covers heavier topics like politics, current events, and Taylor's thoughts on various subjects, including popular culture.
Increasingly Bad Firearm Advice
Knowing nothing about guns outside of very surface level knowledge, Taylor shoots and reviews his collection of firearms while giving dubious advice and usually meandering into completely unrelated topics while sometimes remembering to wear ear protection.
Reasonably Priced Food From A Gas Station
Taking his love for cheap gas station food, Taylor takes an item from one of the many local gas stations and reviews them.
Midnight by the Fire
Intended to be a reboot of the concept put forth by Midnight in the Mountains, Midnight by the Fire is a segment where Taylor takes a paranormal or otherwise strange topic and discusses it by the fire pit.
We Out Here At...
A segment exploring other wooded locations like state parks, lakes, and other local events.
Eating Good In A Small Town
Like the gas station segment, but based on actual restaurants, usually local places that serve real food that wasnt under a heat lamp for 6 hours.
