26.383 - 53.399 Dilly Carter

Yeah, I said 10 out of 10 when it comes to organisation. I mean, that is the holy grail. He is a radio and TV presenter who says that sometimes he even tidies at 3.30am before going to host his Kiss FM breakfast show. He had a brilliant run on Strictly Come Dancing before being beaten by his now beautiful fiancée, Molly Rainford, in the dance-off. It is the super talented Tyler West.

Oh my gosh, it's such a joy to have you in my leopard print chair.

This is amazing. And straight off the bat, you've called me a 10 out of 10 when it comes to organisation.

Chapter 2: How does Tyler's background influence his organizational skills?

68.094 - 71.297 Dilly Carter

Can we just unpack this? Because what did you forget?

0

71.277 - 83.56 Tyler West

No, it doesn't matter. What did you forget? You forgot something. By the end of the episode, it will be here. That's all that matters is that it's on its way here now. Listen, I didn't say I was the most good at memory.

0

83.58 - 85.062 Dilly Carter

You said you were a 10 out of 10, Tyler.

0

85.122 - 88.088 Tyler West

I'm good at organisation, not good at remembering to do the organisation.

0

88.108 - 92.797 Dilly Carter

Organisation. If you're organised, you're organised. 10 out of 10. You were giving yourself top marks.

92.857 - 93.197 Tyler West

I'm sorry.

93.217 - 94.199 Dilly Carter

And then you forgot something.

94.219 - 94.72 Tyler West

I'm sorry.

94.7 - 98.165 Dilly Carter

Okay, I actually cannot wait to see what you brought in.

Chapter 3: What items does Tyler bring to represent his life experiences?

206.275 - 206.415 Tyler West

Spread.

0

206.395 - 211.264 Dilly Carter

Spreadsheets. Yeah. Oh, that excites me. Okay, who stacks the dishwasher correctly?

0

211.465 - 216.374 Tyler West

Not me. You or Molly? Yeah, not me. It's Molly. It's Molly. Yeah, I'm bad.

0

216.675 - 217.276 Dilly Carter

You're bad?

0

217.376 - 220.482 Tyler West

If you open the door, something's going to fall out on you, guaranteed, every single time.

220.502 - 222.666 Dilly Carter

I mean, this 10 out of 10 is slipping to an eight.

222.827 - 225.211 Tyler West

Whoa, hold on. Is this what we're getting judged on now?

225.231 - 234.756 Dilly Carter

Yeah, yes. Can we have a look at your first item? Pass me over that box because I am just too excited to see what's in it.

234.876 - 236.778 Tyler West

I actually don't know what's in it, so I don't know what's in that one.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of Tyler's handball from the 2012 Olympics?

638.925 - 654.768 Tyler West

Like at all. And then my mum learnt... And it's sort of that sort of tradition that's been passed down from my nan to my mum. And then my mum made us this cushion when we moved in. And, yeah, it was really special because, I mean, you can buy all the sort of... Everything. Different things. You can go out to the shops.

0

654.788 - 672.47 Tyler West

You can have, you know, the time of your life when somebody makes you something, like, really personal, but it's actually good. Like, I'll be honest, I don't really like junk and clutter, aside from my little Harry Potter cupboard where I put all my gizmos, yeah. But... Whenever somebody gives me something for the house, I'd rather them give me a candle or just a gift card or something like that.

0

672.65 - 677.296 Tyler West

Because unless it's something like mad personal like this, the bar's been set very high.

0

677.677 - 685.007 Dilly Carter

I know, hasn't it? I mean, that is an incredibly well knitted cushion cover. So tell me about your relationship with your grandma.

0

684.987 - 703.266 Tyler West

oh my nan was the best man she was just like so all the six weeks holidays obviously because we couldn't afford as a family to like go away or anything like that it was just me and my mum and my brother we would always go down to my nan's house in Kent in Broadstairs so I spent most of the six weeks holidays growing up like just down at the beach down by my nan's at her little bungalow

703.246 - 703.707 Dilly Carter

Lovely.

703.727 - 720.789 Tyler West

Literally doing puzzles and things like that. Like it was really wholesome. But my nan, unfortunately she passed away before I started any of this stuff. Oh, I'm sorry. So she never got to see me on telly. She never got to see me on the radio. She never got to see me on any of those things there. But I know that obviously she's with me in spirit. Of course. everything I've ever gone to do.

720.889 - 738.491 Tyler West

Cause like Strictly was like her favorite show ever. She loved watching telly on like, that would be our thing. We'd get fish and chips and we'd watch Saturday night telly and that would just be it. That's all like my sort of core memories there. But there's so much of my nan that still like lives on in me. And yeah, she was just, I mean, she was great.

738.531 - 752.966 Tyler West

I mean, she had the most beautiful garden that I've ever seen in my whole entire life. Like she was so into like floristry and stuff like that. And she made me like dig out, she had like a pond in her back garden. Then when she became like unwell, she made me fill in the pond. And then she was like, oh, actually, no, I want the pond back.

Chapter 5: What cleaning habits does Tyler practice at home?

1166.544 - 1167.686 Dilly Carter

You collected torches?

0

1167.766 - 1174.095 Tyler West

I had like about 60, 60 odd torches. Stop it. Yeah. And then I was like, okay, I need to grow up now. I need to get rid of some of these.

0

1174.075 - 1174.335 Dilly Carter

Why?

0

1175.397 - 1189.815 Tyler West

I honestly couldn't tell you, but it's one of those random things that I've championed. I'm like, yeah, listen, if you've got like a quirky little thing that makes you happy, then just go with it. Just go with it. And those torches came in handy when we did Race Across the World. I looked like Iron Man. There was no insect. In fact, there was all the insects coming near me.

0

1190.196 - 1197.585 Tyler West

But then I've got another head torch that has a red light. So when you're around insects, if you have a red light on, it doesn't attract the insects as much, but you can still see where you're going.

1197.565 - 1204.996 Dilly Carter

Oh, my gosh. OK. In fact, we have a voice note from your gorgeous fiancé about your collection.

1205.076 - 1222.662 Molly Rainford

So I first found out about Tyler's torch collection during Strictly because he got a bedazzled torch from Claudia, which is pretty iconic. But I didn't realise the extent of it until we actually, you know, started dating, moved in together. There is a 40-piece torch.

1222.642 - 1244.11 Molly Rainford

ish collection I did add to that one anniversary I bought him a a torch that said Tyler but he does blame me for making him cut the collection down just because you know the storage they just end up everywhere there's a torch in every cupboard at this point which is not ideal when you want to you know live your best organized life

1244.09 - 1247.919 Molly Rainford

We can take and leave the Torch Collection, but I think Ty would say something different.

Chapter 6: How does Tyler's relationship with his family shape his values?

1467.963 - 1472.011 Tyler West

Like, I love a bargain. TikTok shop has me in a chokehold.

0

1472.031 - 1475.218 Dilly Carter

Oh, don't say that, Tyler. Do you constantly buy random things?

0

1475.238 - 1491.479 Tyler West

No, it's not random things. If it's a torch like that, that's not random. That's going to get used at some point. Do you know what? When, again, on Race Across the World, when Molly asked me, can I use a torch? It was the proudest moment of my life. It was the mic drop moment. It was like, oh, you need a torch, do you? Are you in the dark?

0

1491.499 - 1493.862 Dilly Carter

There we go. Suddenly I'm helpful.

0

1493.982 - 1498.186 Tyler West

Check your pocket. I was like, check your pocket. There was like three in there. She was fuming.

1498.206 - 1499.267 Dilly Carter

How many did you take with you?

1499.427 - 1503.471 Tyler West

Oh, I put one in each pocket because it needed to be easily accessible. Okay. About seven each.

1503.712 - 1507.415 Dilly Carter

That's probably why Molly was like attracted to you. She's like, is that torch in your pocket?

1507.435 - 1515.285 Tyler West

Yeah. And it turned out it was. That's what put it across the line.
