Back in September 2020 Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager were joined by Tyler Duckworth for an epic 2-and-a-half hour podcast. Given the tragedy of his recent passing we wanted to post this interview with you for you all to enjoy once again as a Mania Rewind. We know many are reflecting on their time with him over the years, as are we. And this convo was a prime example of what made him great. Whether you heard it then and haven't heard it in a while or have discovered us since and haven't gotten a chance to listen to it yet...you are in for a treat. From the Original Write Up: Tyler Duckworth is on the ballot for the 2020 Challenge Mania Hall of Fame and for good reason. He only appeared on 4 Seasons of The Challenge but he has two championships and elimination wins over Johnny, CT and Derrick. Tyler joins Derrick and Scott to talk about his connection to The Mighty Ducks, Real World: Key West, Svetlana, his relationship with Johnny, who he thinks is overrated and underrated and MUCH MORE! **Reminder that this was recorded and produced in 2020 so any plugs, promos, live shows etc are outdated and likely no longer apply to today. Rest In Peace, Tyler.
