Tyler Boyer is the Owner of Athletically Declined or "AD" for short (the next up and coming Barstool Sports) a company that Tommy's World is now affiliated with. AD streamlined the production of this show and many others and seeing that Tyler is also a very old and dear friend of mine, it was only right that he joined me on the first pilot episode. While this episode is on the shorter side and is just a sort of test run we still have some fun and get into some things. And of course it wouldn't be a first episode without some technical difficulties but thankfully those difficulties don't occur till the very end of the episode. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy!
