We started talking, we ended up getting their number, and it's sort of, the rest is history." 'They're like dolphins' Both the boys go to a different school but somehow they are still best friends. The parents claimed that they usually greet each other the same way as their video. Maxwell's dad claimed that they both are huggers and they also hold hands while walking all the time. The two boys love to dance together and they also have a secret language amongst themselves. “They're like little dolphins, they squeal and chat,” Maxwell's father said. DeGeneres believes that the video of both the boys hugging each other is just what the world needs right now and how people should treat each other in general. 'Such a beautiful image to see' DeGeneres said, “The reason we had you here because it is such a great message to send and such a beautiful image to see those buys run to each other and love each other like that and I'm hoping that they continue to be friends and grow up and have this bond”. She also decided to gift the little boys two electric toy trucks with their names and faces on it. With that, she also gave both of them a $10,000 check each to start their college funds.
