On April 30th, Tyler appeared in previously unreleased footage from the 10th anniversary episode on the 10th anniversary GTLive livestream.

== GTLive Guest Star ==
Tyler's next major on camera appearance was on the 2022 GTLive episode, "Can I survived the HOTTEST Hot Sauce?!|MatPat Plays Hot Ones: Truth or Dab." He sat on the couch with Amy and MatPat, having traveled to North Carolina for a Team Theorist gathering. The group played "Truth or Dab:The Game" a card game created by The Hot Ones which requires participants to answer a series of difficult or embarrassing questions, or else take a punishment dab of The Last Dab hot sauce. In this episode the audience learned several personal facts about Tyler, including information about his love life and his dislike of traveling. Tyler also made a very hilarious and passionate defense of MatPat's honor when Matt discussed how he broke up with his second girlfriend.
This episode was also notable for being the first time the audience was introduced to Sam and Josiah, although they were only "disembodied voices", as they were off camera for the entirety of the episode, along with Ash.

In this 2022 Food Theory episode, Tyler and several other Team Theorist members taste tested the limited edition Coke flavor Starlight. Tyler described Starlight as having a coffee like bitterness.
