What is the man mainly talking about?

M: Let’ s back up. Where was I?
W: You were talking about your trip to South Africa. I bet you had a great time.
M: Yes, we did. In fact, you know what we encountered.
W: A long-last friend?
M: Come on! A lion.

W: What do you think of your father?
M: Oh, he was the first stable male figure in my life. The best attribute a parent can have is consistency. When he said he would be there at 3 o’ clock, he was there. That meant more to me than anything.
