00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: you finished Idle and you felt like you had an identity,

68
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 2: but then as that's sort of like steadily the shine

69
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,840

71
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:02,600

Speaker 1: So like, oh no, that's there's a bit more, but

159
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: that's overwhelmingly yeah, overwhelmingly that's what.

160
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 3: Can I ask you, Millsy, what's your answer to.

161
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: Can you what's your penis? Like? If you want to

162
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: know my pennis like I actually read about it in

163
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: the book.

164
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: Actually I don't want to get to that in a second,

165
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: but what's your answer and what what's your one word

166
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: to describe manhood. Now, with all the self reflection and

167
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 3: development you've done, from the twenty one year old's on

168
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 3: Australian Idol to the millsy that sits.

169
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 4: In front of me, now, you know what, I can't

170
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 4: do it with one word, can I. I met a

171
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 4: lady last night and she said to me this after

172
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 4: the show last night. She said, she's read the book

173
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 4: and yeah, loves it. She said, you know what, My

174
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 4: my partner cried around around his around my boys. Anyway,

175
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 4: she said to me, that was the most masculine thing

176
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 4: I've ever seen. Yeah, Masculinity to me is showing the

177
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: appropriate emotion at the appropriate time.

178
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: Where were you when I wrote this book? But it's

179
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: a really it's a really great I think.

180
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 4: I think that's what it is, being able to show

181
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 4: the appropriate emotion at the appropriate time the times.

182
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, well said another thing that you alluded to there. Sorry, Will,

183
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 3: I've got to get to this. Yeah, but your book

184
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: got a little bit of press, sort of unfortunately, not

185
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 3: for the reasons that would be really great for men's

186
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 3: health and mental health, but more about your romantic twists.

187
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, So in the book there was the Paris

188
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: Hilton stuff. But then also, and we're a family friendly show,

189
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: so I can't go into it too much. But you

190
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: had Courtney Act, one of the most incredible performers in Australia.

191
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: You had a group session.

192
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 4: Well I think she's I think she's saying to me

193
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 4: it wasn't an orgy. It was it was just a

194
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 4: thrac And I'm like, Okay, cool, I've learned.

195
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: Something is not an orgy.

196
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 4: But yeah, this is during during during idol wow, and

197
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: the thing they think, what's weird for me? Like the

198
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: press picked up on all this stuff like it's a

199
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 4: it's a mere paragraph in the book.

200
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And the point of is like I'm.

201
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 4: Trying to normalize yeah, yes, and all they're doing is

202
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: sensationalizing it. Yeah, which again shows for blokes who are

203
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 4: reading this like oh that that is the thing that

204
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 4: brings on the guilt or it brings on the show.

205
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 4: What I'm trying to do is just normalize the whole thing.

206
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 4: It's not even a thing.

207
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: So that's one of the points of the book.

208
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 4: Is if I share my stuff, then hopefully more blokes

209
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 4: will just share their stuff and then it's yeah, it's

210
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 4: just easier if you.

211
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: If you're doing it together, it's contagious as well.

212
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: Being vulnerable is totally contagious.

213
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: So that's what we tried to do throughout the book. Mate.

214
