4:59

Will's very organized, and he's done a

5:01

lot of planning and everything for this

5:03

trip. So, yeah.

5:05

>> That's good. But also in general life,

5:08

you guys been together?

5:09

>> Um well, he makes me laugh a lot. He's

5:12

very funny.

5:13

>> For you?

5:13

>> Yeah.

5:14

>> Much fun. A lot of things happen all the

5:16

time. Life never gets boring.

5:18

5:19

answer.

5:20

>> I I would say

5:22

uh fun as well, and patience.

5:25

>> Patience. [laughter] Fun and patience.

5:26

It's a good combination. Okay, what

5:28

would you say is like the best quality

5:30

of the other person?

5:31

>> Wow.

5:32

Uh

5:34

>> [laughter]

5:35

>> So many.

5:38

>> [laughter]

5:39

>> I don't know how to say it in English,

5:40

but

5:42

she's very resilient. She has

5:46

a very strong will.

5:47

Uh

5:48

she's very powerful, I think.

5:50

>> What would you say is like the best

5:52

quality here? I don't mind who goes

5:53

first or the other person.

5:54

>> Your best quality is your kindness, I'd

5:56

say. Yeah, he's really kind, really

5:58

caring.

5:59

>> Uh this one's just a beautiful and

6:00

persistent.

6:01

>> Yeah, yeah, yeah,

6:02

>> [laughter]

6:02

>> persistent. Yes, yeah. [gasps]

6:04

>> But I didn't give up.

6:05

>> No, you didn't.

6:06

>> That's a good quality to have.

6:07

>> Yeah, definitely.

6:08

>> Um this one's a beautiful mom of two

6:10

boys and she

6:12

raises them really well, so

6:14

>> That's cute.

6:14

>> What's attractive things about her?

6:16

That's great.

6:17

>> Oh she's

6:26

>> The tenacity, that's good. That's a good

6:28

quality to have.

6:31

>> You were tenacious when you were making

6:33

the first move.

6:35

>> We can we can't say something like that

6:36

here.

6:37

>> [laughter]

6:38

>> And how about hers, her best quality?

6:40

>> I think it's

6:42

it's a understanding.

6:44

>> I think we have a good connection where

6:45

it's she doesn't necessarily need to ask

6:47

in order to like open up about so like

6:49

we have like deep conversations and

6:51

she's able to like give advice and then

6:54

we're really sort of eloquent together

6:55

and we can under- I think we can just

6:57

understand each other really well.

6:59

>> Yeah, really just like mind reading

7:01

friendship now.

7:01

>> Like actually, yeah.

7:02

>> Like yeah.

7:03

>> Yeah. Um something interesting is that I

7:05

actually have a twin brother, like an

7:07

identical twin brother and I would say

7:09

like my ability to communicate sort of

7:12

telepathically-ish with him [laughter]

7:13

and like just like understand

7:15

[clears throat] him without verbalizing

7:16

anything is sort of the same with with

7:19

her. So that's really special.

7:20

>> Isaac's a very kind person. He's very

7:23

lovely, he's very sweet to everyone. I

7:25

really like that.

7:26

>> Yeah, um Tegan Stuart, same thing, very

7:29

kind, always looks out for me.

7:30

Um

7:31

always always puts other people first

7:33

and I find that very very admirable.

7:35

>> What would you say is the best quality

7:38

of the other person?

7:40

>> What's her quality?

7:40

>> He's he's got the

7:44

serious mind and I've got the

7:47

other side.

7:48

>> Good cop, bad cop?

7:49

>> More than that, yeah. [laughter]

7:50

Absolutely. Absolutely.

7:52

>> Okay.

7:52

>> We work very well. We are literally

7:54

opposites, chalk and cheese.

7:56

>> Opposites attract.

7:57

>> that's why that's why we managed 44

7:58

years, my friend, so.

8:00

>> 44 years?

8:01

>> Four children, five grandchildren.

8:03

>> Wow. Wow, [laughter] really? And what

8:05

would you say is her best quality?

8:08

>> Actually, she's very kind.

8:10

>> Yeah.

8:11

>> Very tolerance as well and very

8:13

patience.

8:15

These these are the three qualities I

8:16

can say.

8:17

Cuz she managed with the three kids. I

8:19

mean

8:19

>> Four kids.

8:19

>> Three boys. [laughter]

8:21

>> Her compassion and kindness, always

8:24

thinking about other people. Sometimes

8:26

be too much.

8:27

Um needs to put herself first, but yeah,

8:29

I think it's a really good quality to

8:30

have.

8:31

>> I think she is a very great listener

8:35

and she has the capacity to

8:39

listen to you without you feeling judged

8:42

in any way and so she's very warm and uh

8:46

kind of and also has so many talents

8:49

that it's insane. And so when that's one

8:53

of the things that first drew me to her

8:55

at the beginning.

8:56

>> So, it's nice to meet you too.

8:57

>> Yeah, nice to meet you.

8:59

>> [laughter]
