In 2020, our very own Tyler West was joined by a VERY special guest to help him co-host his KISS show - his lovely dad Mark!

Tyler, who presents KISS every weekday from 4pm and on Sundays with the KISS Hot 40 from 5pm, was joined by his dad to celebrate Black History Month, and the father and son duo quickly immersed themselves into a deep and important chat about the issues they've faced with racism in their different life times.

Opening up about their own personal experiences with racism, this year's #BlackLivesMatter movement and whether they think anything has changed at all, Tyler and Mark's chat really hits deep as Tyler asks his dad some questions he's always wanted to ask, but never has.

Watch back Tyler West's full chat with his dad Mark for Black History Month 2020 below:

After hearing the show, KISS Breakfast presenters Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely shared their support.

Jordan even loved Mark on the show so much that he offered him his own job! He said, 'Naaaaa, what a bad man🔥 I volunteer to quit so he can have my job😂💯'.

Perri then added, 'Get out of here this is too lit 🔥'.

Rak-Su singer and former I'm A Celebrity star Myles Stephenson then commented, 'This gave me life ❤️ p.s be careful he don’t take ya job with that voice bro 😂'. (sic)
