Thank you Petherick family for giving Yanis the opportunity to shine and share with us and thank you Yanis for allowing us to get to know a little bit about you.
As always enjoyed the video but loved the interview with Yanis. It has been great to watch him grow in confidence and laughed when Yanis liked demolishing with Billy ❤
Even with the past of great sadness, tears and sorrow, you desire to one day have children. What could have made you bitter has instead made you better. Yanis, you are a treasure.
Sending much love to Yannis for sharing some of his personal life with us, he didn’t have to be so open, and it is very nice to get to know him a little better. He is the kind of gentle, hard working person who helps renew my faith in humankind.
Yanis if I wasn't an old grandma I'd immediately propose to you! 😊 you have all the traits of a wonderful son, friend, husband, father and just an all around fantastic individual! My prayer is that you go far in life and achieve every dream you've ever dreamed. GBYA
I’m even a great grandmother & since I can’t marry you (I’m already married & not giving him up!), I’ll just adopt you!!! If you come to Texas, get hold of me!!
When a man publicly and without embarrasment says he loves his mum, then in my book he is alright with me, my son up to the day before he died at 15 always said he loved me, those days will always be in my memory. Thank you Yanis
The most monumental interview to happen in France this Sunday. Yanis speaks to his worldwide audience. A kind,hardworking ,thoughtful ,loving Man . Keep being who you are Yanis , All your Dreams will be realized. Thank you for sharing your story and to you Alex for and excellent interview
Yanis has been a wonderful addition to the Petherick crew. I remember seeing him first working with Sadie and then Billy. He has changed, grown, and learned so much. His energy is contagious!
Thankyou to the Petherick Family especially Sadie for Inviting Yanis.. He is a true Jewel of a sweet Soul.. Bravo to You all. Thankyou Alex for your special interview of Yanis.. Love Your awesome Dog!!!
Yes truly a sincere and honest man with a great love for his mother and friends definitely a blessing to have on your team Billy I know you think the world of him by the way you speak about him😮
So much was already evident in his behavior. Yanis working. Yanis playing with children. Yanis dancing with dogs. Yanis hugging the people he loves. It's a joy to hear it confirmed in his own words.
Who could not love Yanis? I’m old enough to be your grandmother, Yanis, and if I had a grandson I would want him to be just like you. Don’t forget Canada!! We would love to have you visit here! You are a treasure. Your family must be very proud of you. I know we all are!! Keep smiling and carry on!
What a wonderful idea to interview Yannis, I thought I couldn’t like him anymore but his love for his mother and dogs has taken my respect for him to new heights. I think it’s so wonderful that the team has taken him under their wings, he seems to be such a hard worker with such a willingness to learn. It’s a win-win!
Even before the interview, I knew he had to be a kind and loving person. Animals and small children seem to be drawn to him. I loved when he said that his favorite thing to do is demolition. Everybody loves to tear things up, but he’s actually learning how to put them back together beautifully as well. I live in Seattle, Washington, and if he would decide to tour the United States, I would welcome him here.
I live in Everett. WA & would love to add to a visit here if you, Yanis ever make it to the Northwest USA! We would show all of our favorite places!❤❤❤
Let me add to that. I live on the Olympic Peninsula. I would love to show him Hurricane Ridge and the Hoh Valley. And some of our great PNW oysters. Yanis truly defines what an honorable man is all about.
If you can make it down to AZ we'd love to show you around! This interview made my day! Keep being awesome and if you don't find the perfect lady I'm 100% willing to propose on the spot ❤😂❤
@@SM-mq7zl Hi from Akron, Ohio. We almost understand how hot it is there in Arizona, but not quite. We've had a cooling spell before the 4th, and today it was only 87! 😎
As someone who was brought up speaking French ( Even though I’m English! ), it really is lovely to hear Yanis be able to converse in his native language. We know he’s doing really well at picking up and getting by in English… But… This really does add another dimension to the person and human being he is. He’s extremely articulate, really eloquent, and recounts his life, his past, his experiences, who he is, and his time so far with the Pethericks beautifully. This was absolutely brilliant. What a phenomenal human being. Thank you sincerely Yanis. You Smashed it 💪❤
Such a nice comment, but isn't his native language Arabic, Tamazight or Berber? I wonder what his native language is? He is certainly fluid in French. Such a talented young man.
Months before my father passed he said to me, Gerry, you work like I used too. I was 51 at the time. All my life growing up my father who was a carpenter told us four boys, don't be a carpenter its hard work. Be a Doctor, a lawyer, any profession that wasn't so physical. Then weeks before he passed he also told me, Gerry I'm glad you became a carpenter even though I told you four boys not to become one. The two best compliments he said to me. I have had the honor to,give my work ethic to my own son (now 51), and two nephews now in their 40s). Today watching this interview, seeing you learn from such wonderful people, I want to say to you....YANIS, YOU WORK LIKE I USED TOO. So much energy, a great look at life, and a passion for the future. Thany you for sharing with us viewers ❤
The appreciation I have for Yanis watching this channel just grows exponentially seeing this interview. Also my appreciation for what I've grown to think of as the extended Petherickverse channels including Sean's World, Life of Ryan, The Magical Moons, Sadie's channel, Michael's channel and Phil's channel as well as the amazing people who don't have channels like Simon and Rick but we see how awesome they are and know their work. They all have in common a restorative kindness and sense of community we could use a lot more of in this world. Yanis is an exemplar of this restorative kindness, may the best of life and love find him and all his dreams come true.
Nothing more perfect than hearing from dear Yannis. He has evolved into such a self-assured and caring young man. Even carrying the children on his shoulders in previous videos tells you of his gentleness-while growing into so many skills with the best of teachers, generation on generation of wonderful knowledge to be passed down. All of us are blessed with this series.
Thank you Billy and Alex for organising this interview. Turns out Yanis is as amazing in his mind as he is in his work, his family must be so proud of this young man and rightly so 😊
So glad to hear from Yanis! He’s a delight ! I’m glad he and Billy found each other, as well as Simon. I’ve never seen such a hard worker, and so eager to learn.
"Thank you to the Pethrick Family for inviting Yanis into your home, too let him shine, to giving him confidence, acceptance and kindness. Yannis is a beautiful man inside and out who weaved us into our hearts.. Bless you Yannis.....😊"
How great was to see the dog close to you during the interview. They know who loves them and also can sense who has a kind, loving soul. Well done Yanis.
I have never commented before but must say that I have appreciated Yannis and love seeing him in the posts. He does everything with joy and never complains. He listens and has learnt so much. He should be so proud of what he has achieved. His Mum would be very proud of the man he has become
Thank you to Billy, Sadie and the Petherick family for recognizing such a special man and inviting him to work for you. I loved hearing him speak his native French while answering the questions. Alex, thank you for the challenge and giving Yanis an opportunity to answer our questions. What a lovely young man. ❤
Aww Yanis. I pray you will find your hearts desire and more joy than you ever thought possible. You are a credit to your mother. What a loving son. Crack on my friend.
Yanis you are such a wonderful example of humanity. Your mother did a beautiful job raising you. My thanks to her for that. This world need more Yanis’s! ❤️❤️❤️
As if we all couldnt admire Yanis anymore, so lovely to hear you speak speak in your native language. You obviously have had hardships but you can tell you had a wonderful family. Merci beaucoup Yanis.
I can tell you French is not his native language, it's arabic. Yanis has some little difficulties with French actually. So English is his third language... He is an amazing young man, very brave.
Yanis is such a hard worker and kind soul. I love that he has so much respect and love for his mother. May he be blessed in that he achieves all he desires
I loved the interview with Yanis - such a kind and sweet man. I love that he is enjoying his time at the chateau and working at the convent. He’s always willing to help everyone. I wish him much happiness.
I'm sure your Mom and your family is very proud of you, Yanis! One beautiful, kind and chill young woman will be very lucky to win your heart some day. Thank you for telling us more about yourself.
Yanis, you're a remarkable human being. You're right. Money does not buy happiness. I love the way you honor your mom, mom are truly a beautiful blessing. Yanis, I hope you find the love of your life soon. Billy, I can't wait to see the transformation in the hallway complete 🙌 it's going to be beautiful.
OK that made me cry. I just love him more than ever. I guess we can say he is quite the "Mamma's Boy". Nadia, you did a fine job raising such a wonderful man.
cher Yanis vous m'avez émue, j'ai même versé ma petite larme (d'émotion pas de tristesse) vous m'avez ramené à mon enfance de 1971 à 1976 j'ai vécu à Dar el Beïda. Les plus belle année de mon enfance ( de 5 ans à 10 ans) et mes souvenirs sont remontés en vous écoutant. c'est un honneur que vous acceptiez de parler de vous. Une énorme pensée à votre Maman. Vous me sembliez être une bonne personne...vous êtes une très bonne personne. Je vous souhaite de réaliser tous vos rêves, vous le méritez. Votre présence sur le couvent est précieuse.
A very lovely interview. If you didn't appreciate Yanis before, you should now. His life history and his journey in France, especially with the Pethricks, has showcased his work ethic and his gentle heart. I noticed his kindness with animals and easy gentle interactions with Billy's children in past videos. There is a special woman waiting for Yanis someday and I wish that he has all his heart and mind desires.
Thanks so much for interviewing Yanis! We've always loved when he says, let's crack on! How sweet that you love your mom that much, Yanis. It's not often children love their parents as much as you do. It shows your sweet soul, and that you love animals. Thanks for sharing some of your background with us. I'm sorry for your hard times, but now it seems you're on your way up! You're working for a great family!
After doing this interview, Yanis won't get any work done because all the single ladies will be lined up outside the convent walls! 😂Thanks for sharing a part of yourself with the YT community, the Petherick's are lucky to know you.
I have so much respect and admiration for people like Yannis. He decided to make something positive out of his life. To jump out of circumstances and fly high is remarkable.
Loved the interview with Yanis, he is a lovely person and an important part of Billy’s team. The world is a better place because Yanis is a part of it ❤X
Superb Yannis. You are a special person don’t ever change. Thankyou Alex a great interview given with sensitivity. Thankyou again Billy and family for showing kindness and for giving Yannis opportunities. ❤️
Thank you for doing this interview on Yanis. It is really nicer to hear about him, from him directly. I'd love to hear more about the Petherick family and how you became involved in The Convent, The Chateau, and other properties you've renovated. It would also be nice to do an interview with the various people you've worked with on these projects.
How proud your mother must be of you Yanis, when you find the right woman to be your wife she will be a very lucky lady, I wish you love, joy and happiness
Yannis your interview shows what a kind and thoughtful person you are. You are an amazing addition to the Chateau and Convent team, well done I love seeing you in the vlogs Thankyou for sharing some of your life with us ❤❤❤
Dearest Billy, one of the best channels on RU-vid with amazing content, people and spirit!! Yanis is a true inspiration and role model for all young men! His Family must be so very proud.. 🙏🏻 Love and respect from Canada ❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
Hey from Memphis. Yannis is one of the rarest of people. He has an inner goodness about him. I hope harder days are behind him. Even if the dark days return he will persevere.
I enjoyed listening to Yanis speak. I has been a long time since I have listened to French in a longer conversation. I understood most of it. Of course, The accent is closer to the South of France where I learned. Just so you know, you are appreciated so much Yanis. I am glad Sadie asked you to work there.
I have never seen anyone as hard working and with so much energy as Yanis. It is so nice to know of his humble beginnings, likes and gifts. I think it is amazing to have met the group at the convent to learn quite a few things, a lost art, and to have family. I am sorry you’ve had sadness in your life. We all have I think. But we always look forward to a new day. ❤
I just love Yanis! He is so kind and humble and a very hard working man. He has the hearts of many of us. He does seem to really enjoy the demolition and we love to watch him.
Yanis you have been a wonderful addition to this channel and you are an amazingly hard worker. Always cheerful and willing to lend a helping hand wherever needed. I know that the Pethericks must be so happy to have you there!
What a great interview! A delight to listen to Yanis speaking in French! But adore when he says "Crack on!" Yanis is a treasure and it has been so much fun to watch him grow his skill sets. Congratulations in all of your achievements Yanis! And we also love watching you in demolition mode!!!
Thank you to Yanis and Alex for the interview 😁 I seem to find myself smiling whenever Yanis is in the video. He is such a hard worker and has such strength and energy, combined with a sort innocence- a combination that is irresistible. Whatever hardships he has experienced in life, the strength he draws from the love family is inspiring. I am counting the days until Simon returns so we have more videos with Simon and Yanis. Let’s crack on!
Thank you Yanis for sharing your story with us. It's obvious that you have a very loving, close family and that radiates through your story. You are a young man that any parent would want their daughter to marry! Thank you Petherick family for bringing this special person into our lives. Yanis....CRACK ON!
Yanis, c'était une belle interview. Mon beau-père était algérien et la famille était la chose la plus importante pour lui. Merci de partager quelques détails de votre vie avec nous. Salut de Montréal !
Yanis, I too had a dog who was half-wolf. He was a great friend to me, though he could become irritated suddenly, though juat as quickly he could be calmed. He was often silly, too but very affectionate. I grew up in a household of brothers and we had all sorts of animals: snakes, turtles, rabbits, iguana... how our parents put up with us I do not know. Eventually, the turtles and snakes were repatriated into their proper ecosystems. My family restored historic buildings and we all learned great skills from ralented craftsmen. So, I very much appreciate your sharing some of your lifestory with us. You are a strong and talented craftsman yourself, and as is the whole team. Best to everyone on the team, including those who are elsewhere at the moment. Crack on!
Bravo! So excited to hear from Yanis! He is a powerhouse of energy and always willing to roll up his sleeves and get the job done. We've always wondered how the affiliation with Billy began and this interview was a great way to get to know him. What a beautiful soul and hard working young man. Bravo!
So lovely to hear from Yannis. You are a great guy, such a hard worker. Your family must be very proud of you. Well done too to the Pethericks for spotting Yannis' potential and adding him to the team.
Ahhhhhh that was wonderful; we are truly blessed by Billy's ability to attract the kindest people and friends. Yanis you are a rock star! I can't thank the Patherick's enough for allowing all of us to go on this journey with them! Truly LOVE you guy's! ❤
Thank you so much to Alex, Billy, and most of all Yanis for this long-awaited interview! Such a special man! I must confess, I got a bit misty-eyed watching this.
Thank you, Yannis for sharing your life with all of us around the world. I'm sorry you have suffered. Please know how much I admire you for your resilience optimism and incredible work ethic. Your fan from CA, USA
We all love you Yanis. I could feel your kind heart and love for life before this video. I hope you find all the happiness you deserve in your lifetime. Much love from Hiram, Georgia USA
Yennis, your love from your mom has made you the man you are today. There is a saying, how you treat your mither and animals, is how you will treat your wife and kids. I wish all your future dreams comes true. Thank you for coming into our lives thru the pethericks
What a lovely interview. Thank you Yanis for taking the time to interview. The picture of you in the chair with the dog by your side in that opulent setting would make a classic portrait!
