Have been very lucky to say at 4 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: the Melbourn Company Festival a couple of times. The one 5 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: and only Daniel Slosser joins us right now. So much enthusiasm. 6 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 2: One thing that's changed, one significant thing that's changed since 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 2: we last spoke to you, Daniel, you've become a father 8 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 2: man I have and this time to my knowledge, so 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 2: very exciting. 10 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 3: You know what a great, great turn of events. 11 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: First question, how'd you go in the delivery suite? 12 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 3: But like it's. 13 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 2: It's so hard a bloke to like talk about how 14 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 2: traumatic it is because what you go through is nothing 15 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: compared to what she goes through. But like I always, 16 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 2: I always describe it as like being a dad in 17 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: the room when your partner gives birth. Is a lot 18 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: like losing a leg in a war, and then when 19 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 2: you go home you have to spend the rest of 20 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 2: your life living with someone who lost both legs and both. 21 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 3: Arms in the same war. 22 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 2: Like your life is different and it's changed, But it's 23 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: impossible to complain about that next to Stumpy because she 24 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 2: went through so much words so you just have to 25 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: sit there and hop and pretend to everything's normal. And 26 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: of course then she's breastfeeding as well. 27 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: Her job is so much harder. 28 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: And there you are with your one leg going well, 29 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: I'm going all right. 30 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah yeah.

But 33 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 3: the worst thing you could do is not being there. 34 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: There is a mount where your partner goes from trading 35 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: you with the respect and dignity that any adult relationship 36 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: offers into talking to you like a dog, you know, 37 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: where they're just like it's like no, no, that's okay, that's okay, 38 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: I'm okay, darling.
