When you hear your father is considering assisted dying,
what do you think?
Dude, choked the handle, perfect match,
dancing with the stars, then let's marry Harry.
You walked away with 2.4 million followers.
Four and a half.
Oh, shut the fuck up.
Never get that wrong again, brother.
Here's where I want to go with this.
Yeah.
Only fans.
You became one of the highest grossing male creators.
How much have you made?
$1.5.5.
Pretty good, huh?
I'm gonna leave with my heart and I'm gonna keep him strapped away.
I just broke 13 months of being sober.
I was going through the worst breakup I ever went through.
There was a really bad version of myself.
What about with any of the ladies,
would you have done anything differently?
You know what?
Even after my last breakup, which was a big one that really messed me around,
the purpose of me doing these shows was to make my friends laugh.
My friends aren't laughing.
They're actually not here anymore.
I had three people in total that I'd lost to suicide.
Now your father recently passed away.
I remember he looked at the doctor and said, wow.
Grief, it never goes away and I never wanted to go away.
I want to always feel when I think about that.
What a gift, life.
I've seen you open up here like never before.
There's one more topic that I want to get into.
I saw you say you are open to now being married.
I am.

Harry Jousie, we need to talk.
Can I say, also, you're the first words to start clapping on that?
Really? Yeah.
Oh, that was good. I was like, this guy's a good host.
And that's it. Goodbye.
That's it. We're done.
Man, yeah. I'm very excited to talk to you.
Rob, I'm very excited to talk to you.
Because as we were just saying, right before,
I did that little opener is, I did that little opener is,
is I feel like you've just really started your career,
but it's already been historic.
Historic.
It's been historic.
Yeah.
And so you've gone through a lot,
and I want to unpack as much of it as we can.
The story begins in Australia, though.
Yeah. All right.
So tell me what did you feel like the environment was like
for you in Australia growing up?
Who were you growing up with?
Oh, bro.
I was such a little sausage, to be honest.
Like, I was such a, like, a little class clown, I think would be the best way to put it.
Like, growing up in Australia, I had my full brother, I've got four half-sisters, both my parents.
We had a very good upbringing.
Obviously, there's in any family.
There's a lot of highs and lows and all that stuff.
But, yeah, I grew up in a very small town, Australia called Yipoon.
Literally, country coastal town, it was epic.
I could take the horses to the beach every weekend.
and ride in the water
there'd never be anyone on the beach.
It was awesome.
Like, just such a blessed upbringing.
But with me being a class clown,
I was not very good at school.
And I ended up getting kicked out of all the schools in Australia
and I had to go to school in New Zealand.
Okay.
So you said, all of the schools.
Yeah, no one would take me.
Tell me like, this guy sucks.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
And then that school, I got kicked out of it too.
Did you?
Yeah.
What were...
Okay, I mean, like I said, epic.
There we go.
Yeah.
what were you doing to get kicked out of of the school?
Brother, everything.
Really?
Everything.
No, I was just, I guess I never really had, I wasn't really good at, like, following instructions.
I was like, I'll just figure it out.
And it wasn't very, like, I don't really care enough at school.
I think the biggest thing for me is, like, just want to have fun.
Like, what can I do to make my friends laugh?
And I guess, like, because I was in boarding school for both those schools,
And I just like, yeah, just was always up to something no good.
Like we would, and this is terrible, what would make chlorine bombs, which kids should not know how to make those.
Wait, wait, wait, so what's the chlorine?
I mean, let's not get the specifics, but it's like chlorine and then you like...
It's like milk and stuff, it's weird and we throw it in toilets and we like blow it up.
And so you don't want that at your school.
No one wants that anywhere.
That's an act of a terrorist.
It is.
It is.
That shouldn't be at any school.
So me and my friends would do that and then would make like little firecrackers and put them in like subway rolls and like throw them in the middle of school.
Like there was just a lot of like just a young kid that was just wanted to just always be naughty.
So what I've noticed with a lot of people, not saying this is you, but with a lot of people who seek attention at school or seek attention when they're outside of the home, it's because they're not getting the attention they need inside the home.
You know, I think recently I've definitely started to analyze that a little bit more.
I think going, yeah, like diving into that with my therapist, like just trying to figure out
like when the last time I heard like I'm proud of you or things like that.
It's not really like not to be a sob story, whatever else.
I was thinking about how I would show up for my kids in the future and like how like what
What did I love about my parents?
What do I don't love about my parents?
But, you know, granted, greatest people have ever known.
You know, if it wasn't for them, it wouldn't be for me.
So shout out to the goats.
All of us adults, we are who we are because, or in part, because of who we were as a child
and how we saw love.
So when you reflect back, were you ever told, I love you?
I'm proud of you.
there's there's obviously days where
that should have been said
but that's the thing is like I'm thinking about it
I'm like no like not like
I can't say like oh there was this day
where they were like that's that's my boy I'm proud of you
like and I'm sure my mom will call me and
we did say that then or whatever else but it's just like specific
moments I can't really like go like oh yeah like I got a pass on this
because there also wasn't many things that I was doing
that warranted it like hey i'm so proud of you like i'm always being naughty at school whatever else so
and to speak on like the the love thing as well i that was one of the biggest things i realized in
therapy like after my last breakup which was a few years ago like a big one that really
messed me around was that i was like always always craving chaos in relationships because that's
what i thought love was or like oh i see you know my parents clash heads and i'm like oh that's
exactly what I need in this relationship to like feel love or feel seen or whatever else.
And I think after like the years of therapy and trying to like figure out why nothing has
worked out or why it always feels like there's a battle going on, it's like, well, that's
because that's what I think love is and that's, you know, maybe I'm picking also people that
have had a similar experience. And we just think like this is love, but it's like, no, we're actually
really toxic for each other. No, to that point. And I think everyone needs to understand this is
that we typically look for who we believe we are, right?
So, for example, if you have lots of self-doubt, normally you're going to end up with
someone who has lots of self-doubt.
Yeah.
Right.
So it's because that's what you feel as safe.
Right?
You're like, oh, okay, I'm familiar with that.
Yeah.
You doubt yourself.
Oh, yeah, I doubt myself.
That's, I'm safe with that, right?
Whereas that's super unhealthy.
That's not good.
Don't do that.
Sounds like you've been there.
Yeah.
Also, like, I'm going on dating shows.
So, like, brother, I'm a lost cause.
I don't know.
We're going to get to that.
That's part of the epic that we're going to get to.
At that age, what did you want to be?
What did you want to aspire to become professionally?
You know, I had no idea.
I think the goal was to take over the family business.
So I went and did a gap year, which was the best thing I've ever done.
And I would want to have kids, I would tell them, like, you've got to have a break.
You got to go and figure out who you are.
So I went through the UK, had like eight months.
I could save my money in eight months, like just backpacking and did a Kentucky tour around.
It was awesome.
Best thing I ever did.
And then I came back and applied for university as an adult.
And I was doing a double in business and art.
And with that intention of let's complete this and then let's go back to the family business.
Because my brother was at university for engineering.
And then he decided he wanted to be a DJ.
which is pretty, pretty the usual way to go about it.
So then he's, that he just, I think he dropped out.
I think he's got a degree.
But, and then, yeah, that was a bit of my story.
But I ended up not going through with it either.
I was walking my dog.
And I was like, oh, I, I'm not happy.
I'm not good at following orders here.
Like, I don't want someone to teach me about business when they don't even have a business.
Like, I was kind of just like, in that, like, angry at every.
thing and um that day like literally like right away my friend from high school let's go helen divine
she tagged me in a post for the show called heartbreak island she said you'd be perfect for
literally it was the universe wanted it to happen i remember just like sending in like photos of me
and my undies literally didn't care whatever else i'm like i'm going to make my friends laugh like that's
what i'm going to do i'm going to make my friends laugh and then literally it was in like three days
I'm on the flight, going to Fiji, going to film a show.
And the first time I ever manifested anything, I remember laying in bed and I could feel it,
like I could feel it inside me.
I was like, I'm winning this show.
Nothing's going to stop me.
Like, I could feel it in my whole being.
And I won it.
And you won the show?
Yeah.
And that show was, where was that show broadcast?
New Zealand.
New Zealand.
Yeah.
Heartbreak Island.
Yeah.
And don't watch it.
Look, and I'm going to talk shit.
So long ago.
but I don't even know the show concept.
I think they're just to go like island, people dating, maybe Survivor,
whatever else, let's just throw out of the wall and figure it out.
Like it was one of those shows that had literally no compass.
Yeah, we didn't know what was going on.
But that was your first show.
That was the one.
So in that first show, were you thinking that you would be helping other people,
you would be making other people laugh, that you wanted to pursue this as a career?
or was fun. No, it was, the goal was make my friends laugh and make myself laugh. Like, no,
I was purposeless, I think, at university. I was being told that that's what I should do.
I should be, I should go to, you have to go to university. You have to do this. Like, family business.
Like, you should do that. And, um, and I think it was in the pursuit of making my dad proud,
to be honest, because he would always pump it up at my brother's at university. And my sister
went back for university. Like, he would always pump it up. So I think I was in the pursuit of
making him proud, but not making myself proud.
So then once I did, once I did that show,
and I saw, like, people, my friends calling me,
like, why would you do that?
That was cool, because I'm like, oh, people,
I actually don't care if you're laughing at me or with me,
as long as you're laughing.
Like, that's the goal.
And so after that show.
But can I ask, though, how did your parents respond to that show?
Oh, they're just like, he's so funny.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah, no, because it's,
it's like cool brownie points with their pants.
with their friends.
So, like, they, they couldn't see it originally in Australia because it had it,
it wasn't airing over there.
But when it did, like, and it was in the newspaper and stuff, like, it was, that was cool.
Like, that was a cool moment where they're like, oh, wow, like, this is, this is something.
But then when, uh, so after that show, I had that itch.
I was like, I have to do another one.
Like, this is so fun.
Like, I love this stuff.
I love entertainment.
I was applying for everything.
I have a UK passport.
So I'm like, I was going through the ranks for Love Island, UK.
Okay.
And I was meant to be on it.
What year was this?
I think it was the Tommy Fury year.
Okay.
Oh my God.
This is...
And Molly Mae.
As I was applying for that, the guy who was doing it, Sam King casting, love him.
He was like, hey, we have this other show.
Can't tell you who it's for or what it is.
You have to trust me that it's way better for you and figure it better.
And I was like, okay, sweet.
No idea.
And then I fly out to Mexico.
Like, my friends were freaking out.
Like, you don't know who it's for.
Just signed a contract for an entitled dating show.
Like, no clue.
Okay.
We get to Mexico and, um, my producer's his to me now, and she's like, this is for Netflix.
And I was like, okay.
It doesn't phase you.
Yeah, I was like, I don't have a Netflix account.
Is that going to be good?
And they're like, the biggest streaming platform on the planet.
I'm like, oh, well, sounds pretty good.
Like, am I still going to be on TV?
Like, yeah, but it's, the streaming's, I don't know, whatever.
I don't care.
It's like one of their first ever reality shows.
So it was like super top secret.
And I'm like, I literally don't care.
I just want to have fun.
So then that show happened and that aired in COVID, which was obviously a horrible time.
But to be on a TV show, the greatest thing that could have ever happened.
Because everyone's at home.
Everyone's watching a show.
And everyone wants something to complain about.
And that was this guy.
And that was you.
So too hot to handle, you don't know what the show is.
Do you know what, so what is your objective, though, with the show?
Is it still make my friends laugh?
meme be a meme that was a that was a goal that was it yeah i remember just like because my friend my best
friend christian who was also from the first show i did and we're living together he's like dude
this meme stuff that was like early on it's like this meme stuff like if you become a meme that's the
goal and i'm like okay i'm trying to figure out how to become a meme so i went in with like random things
to say and like a handshakes for the boys like it was very strategic like i made the first day with the guys
because I was the only one there, oh, I think maybe another guy, but only one there that had done a show before.
So I knew at the end of this, we're not going to be friends.
We're not going to like each other.
We're all big personalities.
We're all going back to different parts of the world.
First show with like an international cast, too.
So I don't really care about those people.
So I told all the guys, look, in the interviews, I'm talking shit about you.
Just remember that.
You're probably going to feel some type way when you like watch it back.
So just remember if talk shit about me because I'm going in on you.
And they're like, no way, we're all going to be friends.
I was like, I promise we won't be.
I'm not going to be a friend after this.
I've got friends and I'm good on this.
So I think that's what helped me too,
because then as soon as they sit down in the interview,
they're like, Carrie's dragging me.
I probably wasn't even.
I was probably crying about something else.
So it was just like trying to plant,
like just trying to be strategic
to make sure that I was guaranteed screen time.
Yes.
Because you don't know what you get on these shows.
You know what one is,
thank you for being honest about that.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Because, I mean, I've done a million reality TV shows now.
Not as the person, but more so as the host, right?
Okay, good.
Yeah, that's probably way more fun.
But what I've noticed is that I feel as if most come in methodical.
Yeah.
Right.
But those who come in most methodical, at least what you do is you set your expectation.
You could get what it is that you need out of it.
Yeah.
Instead of feeling like you were manipulated, right?
And we had, you know, Spencer Pratt.
Yes.
Yeah.
So probably the most notorious villain.
super villain on a reality show.
And we interviewed him.
He was on the pod.
And he was very specific about how his objective was to be a villain.
His objective was to manipulate the situation for his own good.
He wrote his own storylines.
He manipulated everything.
So when you look at that, that was your goal.
Your goal was, I'm familiar with this thing.
Yeah.
I'm going to use the system for my behalf.
Yeah, because that was, you know, you don't know, like when you do it,
movie or scripted show you know the screen time you're going to get i'm in the scene i'm not in this
scene my shit i was like okay i don't care like i don't care from like regardless of the edit i've got no
choice on that or obviously if i say nice things nice things will be put in if i say bad things
bad things will be put in but i was just like i legitimately all i want to do is guarantee i'm in the
show because there was some people there that like fully like and all the shows of them that just
disappear and it comes to the last week and they're like oh my god I have to do something
have to cause drama or whatever else but I also think that if you're going to do a reality show
if you're thinking like that you can also ruin your chances because you see it as well
people come in and they go in their interview and they're like okay I'm thinking about what I'm going
to say the difference with me is I don't care what I'm saying I'm just going to say how I feel
and say whatever else like oh that guy's got like I remember it was a girl I said you got like chalky
teeth and that guy's got like big fingernails like I would literally whatever I
whatever I could to like just at least like I want you to get that sound by whatever else
I see a lot of other people that come in with the mentality I think when I did perfect
match one of the girls was like this is my rebrand I'm like go you're on a hookup show
this is your rebrand it's really not a good idea but she would sit there and you can see her
like being calculated and it just looks like you're lying and being deceitful yes and that's wrong
yeah but on that note though there's a fine line
between trying to, I guess, control the situation and being your authentic self.
So I feel like the audience resonates most with people who are authentically themselves.
So for too hard to handle, was that you?
Like that was...
I think it was me, but on steroids.
You know?
Like, it was me, like, whenever I would do something naughty, I'd put on the shirt that said,
trouble.
So, like, I would try and, like, have these cues of, like, when I knew...
So people could pick up that I fuck someone.
Like, I was doing something up.
doing something wrong.
Yeah, it was never like, oh, I'm just going to go like here to get this or whatever else.
It was, let me just be exaggerated and more playful and careless.
Because I think when you care too much, especially on a reality show is when you kind of get shot on the foot.
It happens to a lot of them.
Yeah, you don't see, you don't think the world exists.
It's all you think is happening is in that.
Yeah.
I think, too, is that a lot of people don't realize how.
hard it is too for the contributors.
Oh my God.
Because to that point is like they take your cell phones, they take everything.
Yeah.
You're in a bubble.
You have the producers in your ear.
You begin to question.
Dude.
Like, am I thinking this?
Is it actually happening?
Dude, it's crazy.
It's mental warfare.
It's, and some people really, it's like you need to never be on a show because it's not
easy because you actually can't trust anyone.
Like, you don't have your friends, you don't have your family, and you sure as fuck can't trust the producers.
Because, like, they're going to say things whether good or bad.
It's to benefit the storyline, and it's to get what they need out of you.
Like, it's very fascinating.
Now that I've done a ton of them, that I'm like, oh, okay.
Like, thank God I, like, was carefree early on and, like, didn't really, like, think about anything too much.
Because you see other people that, like, will hear something from a producer.
Like, oh, I don't know if he actually likes you.
I think he said something about to someone else,
and then you see him a spiral.
Because the thing is on these shows
is you don't have anything to do but think.
So you're sitting there thinking about everything.
It's the worst.
It's crazy.
It's the worst.
You know what's wild about that is everyone talks about
how we're so distracted in the world.
Yeah.
But when you have nothing to do with it,
it's the most dangerous thing.
The most dangerous, yeah.
Because I remember being on a show
and we'd sit down and would all be like chilling
and then someone would be like,
the curtain's different today.
Or like,
I see that they put an extra plant there.
I'm like, yo, what the fuck?
They're like something's happening today.
Like, there's an intruder coming.
I'm like, what?
Like, yeah, there's a bombshell
because there's a new pop plant.
And they were like, yeah, no, the chef didn't put out
orange juice or something for breakfast.
Someone here.
Someone's gay.
Yeah, it does.
Careful.
My God, there's no OJ on the table.
Yeah, yeah.
They're like, see, didn't put three ice cubes in it.
You're going to die.
Yeah, it's fascinating.
And then you just spiral from there.
That's all you do it.
And then you get someone on board.
And once you have someone on board with your thought process,
the whole place is falling down.
It's like, guys, look at that quick.
We have to go over here.
We have to go see that.
See this extra camera there.
See that camera is pointing towards the toilet.
Someone must have been in there hooking up.
Like it was so crazy.
Yeah.
But it's fun.
It is fun.
Like, I think it's fun.
It seems like, well, actually, let me not put words in your mouth.
Okay.
What do you think allowed you then to thrive in that environment?
I think the thing that allowed me to thrive is I just,
life is fun and like I just have that mentality of like,
okay, like this isn't like that, it's like a crazy holiday, you know?
Like I get to go and have fun and get drunk and hook out with people and whatever else.
Like sure it's all on camera, but then, um, I don't know.
I just never really overanalyzed anything.
Like I just be like, okay, cool.
Like we're here to make a really good.
good show, but also, like, I'm a fun guy.
Like, I'm not going to sit there and stress if someone's shoelaces a different color
or if there's a new pop part or, like, this is going on.
Like, I'll just be like, all right, like, I'm just going to be fun here and enjoy it.
And that was the best thing is because my goal is, like, make my friends laugh.
Yeah, it seems like you stayed with that goal.
That's the whole only thing, yeah.
It's like, I'm just going to make my people happy.
What do you think would most shock people, especially about too hot to handle
from behind the scenes.
I think how many people were actually having sex.
So do you know the show at all or anything?
Yeah, but for anyone who doesn't.
Okay, yeah.
So the premise of the show is they have a bunch of horny people.
And if you kiss...
Super.
Every show, I guess.
You know what?
Every...
Yeah.
You kiss spoon, make out, have sex, do anything.
You lose money off the prize fund.
And there's $100,000 up for grabs.
And yeah, anytime someone does that stuff,
it loses money off the prize fund.
So now all the new seasons have taught the handouts,
people try and kiss and have sex right away to get this great time.
Yeah.
I think whenever you have a second, third, fourth series of the show,
it's almost never as good as the first
because everyone is trying to go back and replicate what they saw.
Here's my idea.
This is what I told them.
It obviously didn't go anyway.
I said, if someone has sex, you should delete their Instagram.
Oh, damn.
That means something.
Dude, I shackled, chain, everything, literally,
every lock around me,
duct tape,
everything. I'm like, literally I'll be up in a tree.
You're right? I'm not even talking to anyone.
And that's what I said. I said, look, if you,
that would be a good kerbill, but it'd have to be like a live show,
like Love Island or some shit. It's like, oh, look how many followers you got now.
Well, if you mess this challenge up,
it's going to get deleted or like banned for a week.
When you went to Too Hot to Handle, according to my little research,
you had about 140,000 followers.
Did you have the most when you went in?
Yeah.
And psychologically though, though, take me to the mind of Harry, okay?
So psychologically, what does that do, having the most followers going on.
I just wanted the social proof.
I wanted, because on the show, I wanted, like, people going to, I wanted my name also to be easily searchable.
You know, if you have more followers, you're going to be easy, you type in Harry.
Obviously, Harry Styles and whatever else, I wasn't really on the list.
I'm like, I want to be easily searchable.
That was the goal.
Like I wanted the social proof and I wanted to be easy to find.
Gotcha.
Wow, smart, man.
You know what?
The other thing, too, is do you consider yourself a smart guy?
Sometimes it's not in my daily life.
No, seriously.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because I think also a lot of, there's this notion.
I think whenever you see someone do extremely well from reality TV,
99.9% of the times they're brilliant.
And you may look at them and say, oh, well, look at what they're doing.
No, it's what they're doing behind.
It's everything that you just mentioned.
Yeah.
It's putting yourself in a position so that you'll be searchable so that this will boost.
And then the result, too, was you walked away with, was it like 2.4 million followers?
Four and a half.
Oh.
You're like, hey.
Shut up.
You're like, sit down, little man.
Hey.
Never get there wrong again, brother.
I'm fucking, I'm done.
I'm leaving.
Yeah, five on TikTok, but all good.
I've been counting.
Yeah, I think there's what, like,
maybe 500,000 on Snapchat too, but whatever.
Whatever.
A couple hundred thousand on Facebook.
No one's counting any of that.
Nothing.
I think that 11 million or 12 million total.
But that was just, someone told me that.
Anyway, what was the question?
I know that was.
All right, so you definitely,
shh.
It's day one.
We still got work to do.
But really, like, you, you blew from that, like, legit.
We got blown.
Literally and figuratively, you were, you were.
People blown me.
They did.
They did, many people.
Yeah, well, I mean, that's what, yeah.
Fair few.
So, so let me ask you this.
Yeah.
Did you get the highest number of follows out of everyone?
else on that no no no so my ex uh she she was already like talented with like social media
stuff okay so i think she had a couple hundred thousand already like most forward post on the show
so i think she she definitely um was better like it was my it was day one for me trying to figure
out how to do social media and how to post and whatever else um definitely on tictock i think for sure
but uh instagram not not as much um but yeah yeah but also like
I hope girls are going to do way better
than some blanky guy.
Why is it that the girls do better on social than the guys?
I think because
I think girls are more active on social.
Like the following,
the female following is way more active on social.
It's also easier to relate to them.
Like to be like,
oh, yeah, I want to wear her bikini.
Like you look at my shit.
People don't, oh, I'm not going to wear
hair wax or protein shake, whatever else.
So I think that, yeah, there's that.
And maybe also because there's more drama
with the girls on reality TV
they definitely more heavily
involved in drama
whereas guys kind of maybe sit back a little bit
early on I was a little bit crazy
but now I'm definitely like anyone talks about me
I don't care
but I think that that's what it is
like it's hard for a female follower
to look at my page and maybe relate at all
unless I'm like hey men suck
and love my sisters
yeah I hear you
yeah now now leaving that though
having that boost
then I would imagine financially that helps from a business perspective that helps and for the first time you know in your young adult life you're now earning money it's crazy yeah I had a print on demand um merch site because I knew that the audience was coming and I was like any any link or any like your real estate anything that you have on your social media people are going to click it any button people will click it
They'll check it.
They'll click.
But I was like, I need to make money off the jump because this is going to come and go so quick.
As they do, reality TV shows like you're cool for a month and then you're done.
And there's a new show out.
Like, you look at all the people from Love Island last season compared to the Love Island this season.
Like, people aren't really talking about them as much.
Yes.
They warranted there still, like, you know, celebrities in their own right.
But this new season and then watch the next season come out.
Like, they're going to forget about all these people unless they do something new.
So I knew that that's what was going to happen.
So I had this shitty website.
It's terrible.
I figured out how to make a website and print on the month.
And I kept maxing my credit card out every day.
The borrow friends credit cards because people would jump on the website and buy like terrible sweater or whatever else.
But I was making money.
And I think I made, it was like $60,000 in that month of the first couple weeks.
But I remember I'd check my shopper fly every day.
And there'd be 2.5,000 people on it.
Like every, at any moment, any moment.
I was like, wow.
That's incredible.
This is crazy.
This is wild.
Wish I could do it again.
But is that what then
inspires you to do more reality TV?
It's the love of, firstly,
I'm super competitive.
Like I love this shit.
And I love growing.
I love when I see any show,
any Netflix show I've been on top 10.
I love that.
I come like, okay, how do we make that last longer?
Like, how do we be more valuable to them?
And any other network I've been on.
But I think it's more just,
I'm kind of too far in the hole now
so I have to keep going
like I can't do anything else
I better just keep doing these shows
no I love it like I genuinely
I love it so much like I love
meeting people I love when I'm out
and someone's like oh you were that guy from that show
and I've just made a new friend
like I love that I love being
out and someone going
you know seeing someone
excited or giddy about timing up that
on a show and like oh this is crazy or like
when I see people from
Like the Dancing with the Stars audience, like that's an older audience.
Yes.
Big audience, though.
Big audience.
Yeah, when we're on tour and there's like, you know, people in their 60s coming up and they're excited to me.
I'm like, this is cool, there goes.
We get to feel a little bit, a little bit of excitement.
It's just still the same thing, though.
Like, now I have a lot more friends, so I have to make a lot more people laugh.
Yeah, so.
A lot more.
A lot more.
Yeah, so 12 million.
I think.
It just went up, by the way.
Yeah, 15 million.
It went up by a million.
You know this.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, if you've made it this far, I know you're loving the conversation, so please do me one small favor.
Hit that bell icon, join our community.
You just mentioned Dance with the Stars.
Yeah.
So do you know the TV resume?
Because you already have a decent TV resume.
Yeah, okay.
And from where to where?
So you went from too hot to handle.
Hot-Rig Island.
True.
Hopperg Island, tote the handle.
What the hell was next?
Maybe floor is lava, inventions that change the world.
Match me if you can.
Amazing race.
Perfect match.
Dancing with the stars.
Three movies in between there.
I think it's probably something else I'm missing.
And then let's marry Harry.
How old are you?
28.
28.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
Are you proud of your career so far?
No.
Duh.
Seriously?
Yeah.
Why?
It, dude, it's so easy to be an idiot on a TV show.
It's so easy.
I'm proud of the friends I've made.
I'm proud of the connections.
Like, I'm proud that the people at Netflix, my best friends on the planet,
I'm so proud of filming Let's Marry Harry.
Like, I was proud that crew, the coolest people of it.
Like, I'm proud of that.
I'm the most proud of creating jobs.
Like, that's cool.
Yeah.
The most proud of that.
But personally, in my career, like, no, I think there's just so much work to do.
Like, there's just so much stuff to do.
And I'm so violently ambitious with what I see happening in the future and where I see it going.
That, yeah, like, I'm not, I'm not there, like, not there yet.
Okay.
Like, yeah, maybe the little kid in, in.
the country in Australia when I was growing up would be like, damn, that's pretty cool.
But I think me and him both know that this is just the first year that I'm kind of getting started.
Yeah, this is.
This is.
You know, what's so interesting, what's already shocked me on the real is how, I would say, mature you present.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Versus the hairy, you know, that we see.
Yeah.
You know, and so when you think about some of those projects, in particular,
perfect match.
Was that, you feel like, was that the best version of you?
The worst.
That was the worst version of you.
That was a really bad version of myself.
And I think it was super reflected.
Like, you can see that that wasn't who I was.
I just broke 13 months of being sober.
I was going through the worst breakup of, like the last public breakup I ever went through.
But I was really struggling mentally.
Like, really, like, and I'm like, oh, this is a good idea.
Like, this is what will fix me going on a show.
Like, this will be fun.
Like, get away, escape from my world.
And news flash, don't go on a dating show if you go through a breakup.
Not going to make you feel better.
Yeah.
And then also that show isn't a normal show.
It's everyone who's been on a show before that's been rejected or whatever else.
Hey, here's your chance to get more screen time and be on TV again.
So people would just be fighting to fight.
Like, people would just be arguing for arguing.
And then I went in with a bit of a target on my head already.
having a very public bad breakup, you know, being on a ton of these shows.
And a lot of the people on that show, their shows hadn't come out yet.
So they were just, they were super green to all this shit.
And then people were just fighting and whatever else.
And like, I'm sitting there like, and I think I wasn't the best version on myself because
I had that thought of like, how do I also try and like save myself here?
Like, how do I fix it?
Like, how do I be the good guy?
It's like, brother, you're on a hookup show trying to have sex with people on closet.
Like, you can't do anything.
So yeah, on that show, I really set myself up for failure.
But warranted, super grateful for it because the best thing about doing these shows is that a year later you get to reflect on the person you were.
And that's really cool.
Like, there's no other job on the planet where, or maybe there is, but there's another job on the planet where you get to sit down.
and see the version of yourself a year ago in that crazy environment, in an amplified environment,
and go, wow, what did I not like about that guy?
Yeah.
What do I love about that guy now?
And what are we doing to make sure that we are never him again?
And that was the coolest thing is to be like, okay, cool.
Watching that, not proud of it.
And then I think ever since that moment, anytime I talk about any exes or anything publicly,
it was always in the best light ever.
Is that what your biggest takeaway was?
was how to reflect on your exes or on myself i think just yeah reflecting and just being making sure
that like yeah that i was like again proud of how i was acting and also like i wasn't being funny
that was a thing like there was a few things that i was being funny but i'm like oh the goal is to be
funny for your friends you're just being a dickhead yeah you suck like just be funny like go back
to having fun and running around and like trying to do an egg race and um i would like
hide other people's clothes and other people's rooms
so that they were trying to fight.
Like, just go back to doing funny shit
instead of just being a big six five drunk idiot.
So, six five.
Yeah, 12 million followers.
Yeah, there you go.
You just drop the number now.
Is it down again?
Yeah.
25 million.
Miss the beast, let's collab.
Yeah.
What moment, and I can probably guess what this is,
but what moment do you regret or you would change
from Perfect Match?
Oh, man, you know,
editing.
Yeah.
The edit, yeah.
No, no, there was a lot of things that, you know, looking back on that show and I was like, oh,
I regret, I didn't, like, I just regret going.
Like, I didn't need to do it.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
I didn't need to do it.
But, again, it helped shape me, whatever.
I was like, there was, like, the editing on it was really funny because shit that was going on,
like, that didn't happen.
Like, there was a moment where I was, like, throwing up.
And I was, like, a handful of other people, we all had food poisoning.
But they'd, like, splice shit.
Again, TV show.
If I didn't drop, it wouldn't put it in.
But there's splice stuff around.
Again, TV show.
It's what's made to happen.
And if it didn't happen, then people wouldn't watch a show
or people wouldn't talk about it.
So, like, I get it, fully get it.
But, yeah, I just think, like, they could have,
you know, I wish I didn't eat the salmon that day
because the throwing up was really embarrassing.
And that was, yeah, so is it.
Yeah.
Go back and not eat the salmon.
Don't eat the salmon.
Yeah.
Yeah, especially like, hey, if I'm cooking it, don't eat it.
Then don't eat.
What about with any of the ladies?
Would you have done anything?
differently.
You know what?
Nah.
You know, I think
again, like those
moments
obviously it sucks.
It's not good.
But selfishly looking back,
going, okay, cool,
never want to be that guy again,
never want to do that.
Never want to make people feel that way.
You know, if I kiss someone,
I should probably say, yeah, I kissed them.
That's how it is.
Not trying to stand tentos
and be like,
they didn't go to it on camera.
But,
I think that would be the only thing.
It's like, look, I don't think anyone was going on that show with the intention.
Like, I'm going to marry these people right now.
Like, this is my person.
That's not the intention.
Perfect match is a show where people hook up and have fun.
And that's what it is.
Same one taught the handle.
It's a hookup show.
It's not a marriage show or like a serious show where stuff like that needs to happen.
So I think that, yeah, and I think anyone on the show looks back at it now.
It's definitely, like, it's, you know, it's, it's, you know, it's,
It's just a hookup show.
People dare to have sex and get drunk and have fun.
Which is much different than let's marry Harry.
The biggest difference ever.
What can you tell us about it?
Because when I look at it, it's like, actually, I'll tell you, I asked my wife,
I was like, what do you think about this?
She was like, oh, this is The New Bachelor.
Yeah.
Right?
That's what it seems like this is.
Yeah.
I think that calling it, you know, the new Bachelor is doing a disservice because it is, you
is massively way better, different.
And it's needed.
You know, you watch The Bachelor,
here's the road.
Same old shit, you know?
And I honestly think that this show will change marriage sale shows forever.
Really?
Like, I think it's going to be the biggest, best thing.
And what the world kind of needs in these shows.
Like, obviously, world needs a lot of things.
Probably done another dating show with me on it.
But it was one of the most challenging, most rewarding, most in-depth processes I've ever done.
And I can't imagine.
Honestly, I think The Bachelor will probably cease to exist after the show.
And if they do, they're going to continue to lose viewers.
Tell me how you really feel there.
I did.
Let's get some headlines in here.
No, look, Taylor, Frankie Paul, her season's going to do great.
But, you know, unless the Bachelor cast like Michael B. Jordan, like, this show is going to clap its cheeks.
And that's fine.
And I'll stand 10 toes on that.
I believe this, man.
I believe this.
So I would imagine the basic premise from what you could, if you can confirm this is, you have a group of women who are.
So far, so good.
Well, no, no.
And I'm going to go there, too.
Because I didn't know if they were sprinkling some men.
No, no, no, no.
Okay, so group of women are competing to marry you.
Correct.
Okay.
Very unfortunate.
So sorry.
So just going into this, though, is your thought you are open.
Because the shows that you've done thus far, as you said, are hookup shows.
This is a totally different caliber of a show.
So was your thought, I am open to now.
being married.
No, I am.
Like, that was the thing.
It's like, I am doing this, no matter what.
Okay.
Because my, so Alex Cooper,
yes.
She's gone through the car.
She was figuring out who's the best person for me.
Like, my team, my friends at Netflix,
like, I'm with them pretty much every other day.
We're spending Christmas together.
Like, they're my family and my friends.
Like, I really care deeply about their team
that was building their show.
Everyone is doing it.
for love essentially like everyone like it's just we have such a good relationship it was such a tight ship
so that i knew god i can't waste these people's time like and i know that they're doing everything they
can to make sure that there's the perfect people for me once we start this this process um i just think
being with my sisters and seeing them with you know their men and their kids and i was like this is
this is what i want this is important like this is and it's the only thing in my life that i hadn't
really put, you know, I hadn't really watered that seed at all. I'd just be like, oh, let's just
have fun or whatever else. So now I get the most incredible opportunity to, to meet, you know,
there were so many people that signed up that had crashed the website. Like, it was literally,
I posted a story and I remember it crashing and I'm like, no way, like, that's wild.
So there was- These are people applying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was, dude, it was, it was,
so wild. And I was sitting there and, you know, we have so many,
incredible people that have signed up that want to take time out of their lives to see if I'm
their guy and get to know me. And then, you know, all this whole, like, it was just like such a
really beautiful experience. And I think the viewers, probably myself as well, is going to be
super shocked and really kind of taken back with how deep it is. Man, I can't wait to see it.
You mentioned Alex Cooper in there. Yeah. So she's executive producing. And, oh,
hosting as well or just...
No, no, she's just
EP. Like, she's
obviously, it's an unwell
production, so
she's super involved.
But honestly, I remember
like she was texting every day, like, wants to
know everything that's going on. Like, she
pairs a lot. She's on it.
Can we talk about your friendship with her?
Yeah. Because it seems like that
like
that relationship has changed your life.
So Alex and I's relationship kind of started
on Caller Daddy.
Like after the tour, I went and did a show.
And then I've been a repeat client, like a fair bit on the show.
But we'd never really been friends outside of that.
And then it was the same year, did perfect match, I think.
She had me on again.
And at the end of it, she's like, hey, I want to see if you'd be down to, like, start a podcast at my network.
And I said, literally give me a contract.
I'll sign it right now.
I don't care.
I'll sign it.
I don't just them?
Yeah.
All good.
Whatever.
100% to you?
Let's go.
No.
No, no, it wasn't like that.
But she's like, yeah, we're building something special and we'd love to have you there.
And I'm like, dude, yeah, of course.
Like, I love you guys.
Like, I love being in your orbit.
But it's also just being, you know, so motivated by their success.
Like, there's, dude, she's such a powerhouse.
Like, you just.
I can't.
Already icon status, yeah.
Incredible.
But also, like, just seeing her with fans is, like, another thing.
Like, it's so special.
because we'll be at an event or something that they're putting on.
And she's just, like, sitting there, like, hugging everyone and, like, holding some of the shoulders, like, talking about it.
So engaged.
I was like, do you know that person?
She's like, oh, to listen to the podcast, like, she's, if you ever meet her, like, especially if girls meet it, it's just, like, she is, you're the only person on the planet that matters and exists right there.
Like, she really cares about her audience.
But most, like, she also just, like, dude, she's the best.
I could call her about anything.
but also her husband Matt, the coolest guy ever.
And I think going into this show, I actually loved Mary Harry.
I told them, I was like, to have something that you two have would be so special.
Because they're the perfect people for each other.
Like, they're so special together.
And like, she'll think of an idea, he'll execute.
Like, it's so cool.
And he doesn't, like, if she's like, all right, I want to dream this big.
He's like, let's dream bigger.
Like, they really complement each other the best.
And I just like whenever I'm at their house or I have a dinner or whatever else like
It's just it feels like you know with my biggest siblings like and they just and they
They kind of they definitely take them under their wing they're like I really want to really want to help you get ahead
Yes so you feel like they are your mentors yeah yeah for sure yeah yeah they're great dude they're awesome
Yeah I can see how um they entered your life at the right time yeah perfect timing yeah divine time yeah I could
see it. In that zone, you really needed a duo like that. Yeah. Dude, it's awesome. Yeah, good stuff. Yeah, it's
really cool. We need to talk about how much noise there is in the new year. Reset, reinvent,

We have to talk.
We have to talk about OnlyFans.
Okay.
Here's where I want to go with this.
Yeah.
Is you became one of the highest grossing earners,
male creators on OnlyFans.
But then I saw, you say at one point later, you said,
I may delete this when I get married.
Yeah.
So help me understand.
Oh, you're trying to pick up shit, huh?
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
It's deleted.
No.
But this is, because I'm looking at like this evolution of Harry.
Yeah, what I mean?
And so when did you join, but then help me understand that statement of,
I may delete this when I get married.
Dude, it's going.
Yeah.
It is going.
It's going.
Yeah, very soon.
I think, so when we did talk to handle, it's kind of no,
brainer, to be honest. Like, it was, you're on a show where you're kind of described as like a sex
addict. Essentially, you're branded that way, right? To what they handle was like, oh, don't have sex,
whatever else. And people are like, oh my God, these people are idiots. Like, they can't not touch
each other for a month, you know? So we had this free marketing where it's like, well, no brand is
going to pay that much. And also, like, you can really build a community of, like, horny people here.
So, like, let's run it up. So that was like, that was going off for a while.
And then it kind of turned more into that community building.
Like there's a lot of like there's OFTV shows that have done on another show I've done on there.
I don't know if that Kansas TV show.
Yeah, but it is though.
Yeah, yeah.
It's amazing network.
Yeah, there's other stuff that I've done on there where it's yeah, just again, just like a different platform to express and also not be.
You can kind of just do whatever you want, which is kind of cool.
But build community and also have a one-on-one interaction with people.
but in saying that it has made it difficult to date sometimes like some people feel a little bit of
type of way about it and um but i also it's just like as my career is progressing it's increasingly
more difficult to to put time into that and to give people what they need so it's like well do i just
pull the plug or do i half ask it and try and keep going and growing on that so
once marry hurry
is I'm pretty sure
it's gonna finito
it's gonna be done
which will suck
but it's just like life
things have been getting so crazy
lately like we've
there's a movie in the works
that I'm writing
thank you so much
with one of my really good friends
which were announced soon
but there's two other TV shows
that are going ahead
there's this AI company
that have just started randomly
like there's just a
and a skincare brain that I have.
Because there's just,
there's so much stuff happening
and also creating content as well.
And I love that the moment out of anything.
So I'm just sitting here like,
okay, well, we've got to be
a little bit more thoughtful
where I put my energy and also like,
I don't want to upset people, you know?
Right. Especially if you don't text on it back for like three days
and they're going to be a bit sassy.
Gotcha, gotcha. But now on OnlyFans,
how much have you made on OnlyFans?
I think,
I'll give a low number
I'll give a range
between
50 billion
and zero dollars
anywhere between that
yeah
yeah so just throw a dart at a wall
and
nah honestly not that much
okay yeah all right
really only yeah
only like 300 billion
yeah yeah
yeah
the right what I saw
what I saw reported
okay tell me hot cold
or just not is 3 million.
But I think that was way low.
I think that's probably one year.
It's probably first year.
Pretty good, huh?
Yeah.
Pretty good.
Pretty good.
Yeah.
You're pretty good.
Okay.
So that's probably way low.
But all right, here's why I bring this up.
Okay.
I bring it up because it's a massive revenue source.
Yeah.
But it seems like, and this is going to this whole through line of maturity,
It seems like what you're saying is it doesn't matter how much money it's making
The fact is is it's not good for me
It's not where I want to place my time
Yeah yeah for sure because that's the thing is like you put your time into anything
It's gonna be fruitful right like sure the 15 million or whatever that's been made on there
There we go no maybe it's less or more I don't know I forget but but I would imagine if three was the first year
Yeah, yeah, at least 15
Yeah. Now, I know that you have said repeatedly that you're a relationships guy.
When did I say that?
Your whole career. He's alive. The whole career.
You know, I.
Can we talk a little bit about relationship?
Okay.
Because you mentioned an ex in there that you're good friends with.
Yeah.
But here's how I love to do it. And so it's not salacious is, if I name someone, you tell me what the lesson was.
Okay.
From that relationship.
Okay.
Right.
So you mentioned Georgia.
Friday. What was, what did you learn from that relationship?
You know, I, Georgia and I really, like, love each other.
Like, really love each other.
Like, she, we had, we were together for a while, but the biggest thing that I learned was
I wasn't good at telling her how I felt.
And we weren't, we were terrible.
We were, and she would admit this, we were so bad at communicating with each other.
We assumed.
All the time.
All the time.
I assume she did this.
She assumed I did that.
That was the biggest thing.
And like hearing stuff out from someone and say something and assuming that that's true.
So I think that was the biggest thing that like looking back and I'm sure she'll say the same.
Is that we were terrible at talking.
Lucy Hill?
Can't speak on that one.
Okay.
Pass.
Yeah.
Okay, so then if you just collectively look back on all of the relationships you have,
you know, romantic relationships in your life.
Yeah.
What do you believe the best lesson is for the young men who watch you?
Because what I've noticed about your life so far is it was based on making the guys back in Australia laugh.
But all those guys who watch you are watching.
A lot of them are probably starting to emulate and watch what you do, right?
Especially with regard to your relationships.
So what do you think is the greatest lesson you could give them about relationships?
If I could tell myself, a younger version of myself, yeah, I would just say,
yo, be disciplined on yourself and stand tall and be patient.
Like there's so many like relationships where it's like oh well she doesn't let me hit then it is what it is whatever like it's actually not the be or end all but I think like when I was in my 20s like well I'm still in but like early 20s it was like that was my currency with my friends as like oh did you smash that girl?
So I think like having patience would be so cool and being disciplined with yourself like you know like the
And was it delayed gratification?
Yes,
Yeah, I think that would be super important too.
But I think that, yeah, the biggest thing is, oh, and listen a lot more.
Yeah, because I just, I think people get so excited talking about themselves.
And what I realized is when I just, just overwhelm them with questions and what I learn
and be excited about their life is really like super.
important. I think maybe I'm not answering that right. But I think also like with the discipline
stuff is not like, hey, eye on your shirt or like make sure that this is always good. I think
it's just like these discipline with your morals or like discipline with how you present or how
you take care of those people. Yes. I don't know. I would probably imagine a lot of self-discipline
as well. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I think also and maybe that leans on my life too is
when I was on discipline, I was out and drinking every night and it was big in that hookup culture and whatever else.
When I was disciplined, it's like waking up at 5am, making sure that, you know, day trade in the morning for the first hour, like just being locked in on that lifestyle and health and fitness and showing up for myself.
So I think just making sure that there is someone coming in my life that is discipline as well or who has at least has a goal or someone who's at least excited about something in the future.
Yes.
So focus on the people that wake up with a purpose instead of people that wake up and just want to fuck around.
Which is also fine, but it's not for me.
Yes.
So it's not for you because, so your therapy and self-reflection seem to be, this is a major like inflection point in your life.
What was the incident that drove you to that?
Was that your father's passing?
Is that what drove you to therapy?
No.
Stop Georgia.
Prer.
Really?
Yeah.
Truly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Me and Georgia, we, um, you know, you know something's wrong, but you don't know how to deal
with it.
We weren't talking.
So, like, something's not right here.
Like, we're, we're budding heads.
Like, we'll break up, we get back together.
Breakup gets it back together.
Like, it was very, like, up and down all the time.
Um, I was watching porn and that was making me not be as faithful as I should have
been.
Um, it was something that I had to work on because I was like, I'm not saying that that porn is
the catalyst, but it would just make me think about other people.
And I think that,
There was so much stuff that was going on.
And we weren't, again, weren't talking about it.
So when we're in that relationship, went to therapy.
And it really helped everything.
Like, it really helped me go, oh, wow.
Be patient.
Don't be, like, because she said something that doesn't make you feel good, don't react.
Like, hear the whole thing.
Hear it out.
Like, she doesn't mean to hurt you.
She's just hurt, you know.
So it really helped with all that.
It's just like to, yeah.
And then I just stayed in it ever since.
Because my therapist is the best.
Yeah, she's really cool.
So you continue to go to this?
Yeah, every week.
Yeah, look at that.
Every week you go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And would you encourage, would you encourage everyone to participate in therapy?
You know, I think therapy is the greatest gift because I don't feel like I'm a burden to my friends.
You know, and that's not even the main point, but like, for me, it's, I get to talk to someone about whatever I want.
No judgment, no, who cares, literally anything.
going on and get a professional,
get professional, like, guidance around it,
or just a soundboard.
I think it makes me a better friend
and a better, you know, partner for people, too,
because I already got, like,
the thing that's, like, weighing on your mind
all week or all month or whatever else,
instead of, like, blowing up and snapping at your partner,
like, you've already discussed it with someone,
and you already know ways around it,
or you already realize it's probably not that big of a deal.
Who cares?
Right.
And that's, like, half of it is people go, like,
oh, well, you can fucking clean the dishes.
And then it builds up and builds up and builds up.
And then it breaks, yes, yes.
Just a heads up, this next section includes discussion of suicide.
Please watch with care.
To that point, you mentioned that you, but it heads with your brother.
Yeah, yeah.
What was that all about?
And how old was your brother?
I'm sorry, younger, older brother.
Yeah, he's older.
I think he's like two and a half years older than I mean.
You know, we've always had a fascinating, really.
relationship with very competitive, I guess. Well, not really, actually. Like, I'm not competitive
with him. Like, I couldn't really care. Like, I'm just, I'm excited for what he does and what he tells
what he's got going on. We, we clash heads a lot recently, and I've decided that, like, I actually
don't want him in my life at all when I've fully blocked him. Um, there was a moment recently,
the reason why I blocked him on, he was like, again, we hadn't spoken in a while. And he has, like, a
weird parosocial relationship with me where he was like, analyzes everything online and then
report it back to my mom. And then this one morning I woke up and I had all these messages of like,
oh, why, like why? And I called my mom. It was like, hey, we have a one-to-one relationship.
If you find something weird or whatever else, call me. Let's talk. I don't talk to this guy.
We're not on each other's lives at all. So whatever he's doing, it's as a, he's over-analizing
something that he has no idea on what's going on. We also don't have a
relationship.
So growing up, we had, and I guess I've never really spoken about it, but yeah, we, we had
a pretty good relationship, I would always fight.
There's a lot of big fights.
And then the problem was, I think, girls.
I was always bagging the baddies, okay?
You know, I can't believe that.
Dude, I do it.
Every girl I, every girl I've ever dated, the most beautiful woman I've ever met, right?
Right.
His girlfriends, I don't know.
No, no, no, no, because, no, but we just, I think it was that, you know, as the girls.
You're going up.
So this is going to sound like a wild question.
Okay.
But I think I know the answer to this one, right?
When you were growing up, are you taller than your brother?
The tallest.
Yeah.
Tolest in the family.
Yeah.
So I've noticed this pattern with brothers who are older and their younger brother becomes taller.
Oh, really?
It's like 100% where there is something that messes with the ego.
because you are literally the bigger brother yeah that's true yeah it's like wow okay yeah you are the bigger brother
yeah now you're the younger brother yeah but you're the bigger brother damn okay so that would really
give you identity like yeah crisis yeah wow okay because yeah i think that it was and it actually it was
when i started to get told and i'm that the thing started to like uh pivot for us as well but
we didn't have the best relationship
and then there was a couple years
where I didn't speak to him at all
and then I went to do Iwaska
and I was like I should probably figure this out
do you know what that is?
Yeah, absolutely. Have you done it or no?
I haven't done, lots of friends have done it
and it's changed your life.
Yeah, it was really fascinating
so that year
I'd lost a few people to suicide
it's quite a big thing back on
in Australia and New Zealand
we have the highest suicide rate per capita
a lot of young men take their lives
and it's...
I don't know that.
It's highest, really, really, from men.
Yeah, yeah, it's, it is really, like, horrible.
It's just, I don't know what it is.
I don't know why it's a thing,
but it was the reason why I started on this whole journey,
but that year I'd lost two people,
my best friend from the first TV show I'd ever did,
and then one of my friends' moms
who essentially, like, raised me as well.
And I was on this, like, journey of,
because that was, I had three people in total
that I'd lost the suicide.
So I was on a bit of,
of a journey that year trying to figure out what is going on. You know, I'm in LA, I'm making money,
I'm drunk, I'm going out, I'm having fun, I've got this crazy lifestyle, but, oh, the purpose of me
doing these shows was to make my friends laugh. And, like, I'm a class clown. My friends aren't
laughing. They're actually not here anymore. So, like, what, so it made me have, like,
question everything. And I guess, yeah, the I Waska, it kind of, it all just happened at the same time.
Like, it just flowed. And I'm like, okay, this is meant to be. So when I did this
driven Costa Rica and um it's regardless of the the medicine in it it was like you meet the most
incredible people but each day you're doing character building exercises which was it's always good
to look within um the first time we did it the first night we did iwaska um i'm like seeing
there right in my intentions i'm going to see my friends and we're going to be good and i'm
going to get that peace whatever else dude i it snapped me into like specific memories with my brother
and my dad i didn't have a relationship with my dad at that point as well and i'm sitting there
as a kid.
Like, wow, this is this is a guy that made me the guy.
You know, like, this is my man.
Like, this is my best friend.
And then it's snap.
I'll be with my brother.
We're running and we're having the best time ever.
Like, real memories, real life memories that I had with these guys.
I was reliving it, like, in the moment.
And I just remember weeping and laying in that in Costa Rica on this mat, just crying,
not because I was sad, but just overwhelmed with the amount of love that I hadn't given them.
And the amount of love of like, wow.
this is, these two dudes are the reason why I'm the guy. And like, the reason why I'm here
doing my thing. And like, if it wasn't for them, if it wasn't for all this stuff, like, I wouldn't
know how to chop a tree. I wouldn't know how to be a beekeeper. I wouldn't know how to have a
garden. Like, I wouldn't have grown up on a farm. Like, all this stuff. I was sitting there just
like, wow, I'm so overwhelmed with love. So after that point was when I really rebuilt with my
brother and my dad and tried to come back around. But I just think it's, yeah, with me and my brother,
it's just very, very difficult, very, again, maybe it's a tall thing.
It's just, it's hard to be, to relate.
And he overanalyzes everything I do, like I posted, this is the example.
And I'm sure he's going to go off of him.
I posted a prayer on my story that my friend had written.
And he was perplexed by that because we didn't grow up with,
religion. So we didn't grow up with anything. And I said, look, see it. I'm trying to figure out
what I believe in after my dad had passed. I'm trying to, like, I've got to figure out what's
going on. Um, because regardless, if it's true or if it's not, I'd like to believe in something
because it makes me feel good. And when I have a family, I want to tell the kids something. So like,
say the goldfish passes away. Oh, well, he's in heaven. So don't stress. Um, so I posted this
prayer and, and he like had like this massive, massive, like, reaction to it. And like, I don't know who
are anymore like just weird shit just like you know like ask are you okay what's wrong like stuff like I'm
like brother who cares it doesn't hurt anyone also I said take the dear god out of it it is the most
beautiful mentor and show of gratitude to say out loud to start your year off right literally don't
care it doesn't hurt anyone makes me feel good so I'm going to do it so just like weird things like
that and again I'm like we don't have a relationship where uh you could feel some type of way about it
Also, like, you know, warranted, it's not a bad thing to post.
Out of all the things I could post, that's probably the best thing.
Yeah.
I could be getting my bussy out, you know?
You could be.
And we don't, no one wants that.
I don't know, some people might.
You know what?
Yeah.
Send my DMs.
Some people may pay for that, actually.
Well, link it by it.
But I, man, you know what?
I think when you were at ayahuasca and you reflected on the guys
that made you the guy, that's profound, you know,
and that you included your brother in that.
I'm just curious, have you ever told him that?
I called him the next day after we went through it,
and I sent him some money, and I was like, yo, what's going on?
And then I was like trying to connect through that.
This was, mind you, this was like three or four years ago.
And he was really confused.
He was like, why he sending me money?
Why didn't call me?
and I was like, oh, I just did a ton of drugs.
Okay.
Yeah.
I just had a crazy life-changing experience.
He's got no idea what's going on.
And I'm like, hey, how you going?
Let's be friends.
Like, what's going on?
But honestly, it was, it was good.
It's just like a different, you know, sometimes you need to have a different perspective on stuff.
And my old man, and it's quite a common thing in my, I guess, genetic bloodline is we have
an addictive gene.
So my dad had a bit of problem with alcohol.
So, and I think that that's carried on in my family.
life not with alcohol for me but you know my brothers my sisters like everyone has kind of noticed
sometimes we're overindulge a little bit on some stuff and it's made me like be fully like aware of
that but um when i did that experience it was so cool because I really had the opportunity to
separate the person and the addiction and I've never been able to go I've always just been
hit it together and with anger and like why can't you control that like what's going on right
Like, I don't get it.
But then I'd be like, okay, we just put our personal boundaries on.
Like, I won't speak to you at the phone after 4.30 p.m.
and just understand that maybe I might get an unraveled email at 11 p.m.
But that's because that addiction is there.
But the person will be all good in the morning.
Yes, I see it.
And that's the importance of boundaries.
Yeah.
So there's one more larger topic that I want to get into that you've been mentioning.
but it touches upon this.
Ah, the boss.
The boss.
Yeah, there is.
This experience you had with him,
yeah.
To me, was so profound.
And as much as you'd like to talk about the experience,
if you could first say, for those listening,
what was that that I just handed you?
You had me a photo of me and my dad when we're in Bali.
Oh, no, maybe it was Sri Lanka.
And we were sponsoring.
He was sponsoring your family there after there was like a tsunami or something.
So I went to go visit them.
But yeah, it was just a back when I was a little sausage.
And I forget what he was showing me.
But yeah.
So, oh man, Paul.
He's the guy.
Paul.
Yeah.
Great name.
You went back?
Yeah.
I'll give it back to you too.
Yeah.
Great name, Paul.
So now your father recently passed away.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
December.
forth last year.
Last year.
Can you walk us through that experience for you?
I think life is made up of, I always look at it as inflection points.
Yeah.
Right.
And sometimes those inflection points, we go down to a darker place.
Sometimes we raise up to a lighter place.
I'm trying to understand what that moment did for you.
Dude, what a gift life.
Like what a, what an incredible.
thing. I got so incredibly lucky that, so my dad went through with a sister dying. He had an
illness that was going to take him out in the next couple months. He didn't really want to wait
around. He's like, fuck this, I'm going to go. So in New Zealand, you can go through with a sister
dying, which is a really beautiful and special thing. And it obviously sounds pretty scary.
But it's, you know, people who are sound mind, who have a terminal illness. And it's like,
the really rigorous process that I had to go through for him.
to get greenlit for it.
But how does that even, like even with your relationship, does he, you know, the first
time that you hear, he is considering assisted dying?
Yeah.
What do you think?
Dude.
We, yeah, I just, he's just, he's so stubborn.
It's so funny.
He was, he just, one of those guys that if something's happening, he's going to do it.
He wanted to go with his dignity and he's, he's.
didn't like, his biggest fear was like him losing like control over his body or whatever
else. The annoying thing is like he was getting better. Like when I first went there and
walking him on a wheelchair. Then the next time I come back he's like got a walking stick. The next
day he's walking normal. I'm like, this motherfucker's lying. He wants to go. No, no. But it was,
dude, it was, it's hard, it's hard to wrap your head around. It was really difficult. It was so
difficult because we had meetings for months with the death doc, which is not his official name,
but that's what my dad kept calling him.
And it was really difficult because number one,
I had to keep a secret from my mom.
So they weren't good.
They went in a good spot.
But I flew back to New Zealand and he's like,
if she wants to know, she can call me.
And it was her birthday and she was getting remarried in the same weekend.
So I had to fly.
At that time, like I know she's good with my brother now,
but at that time I was the only person in our families
that was super close to my mom.
So I flew back and obviously mom always knows when something's wrong.
And it was trying to figure it out.
I was like, look, I actually can't tell you.
I'm not allowed to, but if you want to know, you have to call the old goose.
And the hardest thing is that they actually didn't talk on the phone,
especially because it was my idea to, hey, like, let's just say one last goodbye.
And to see them cry once I got back about it was the hardest thing.
And it's been a bit of a weird thing to kind of wrap my head around.
but those death conversations are really,
it's really easy, you know,
it's really easy to feel sad and, like, to beat yourself up on it.
It's so easy to be like, this is scary.
The way I'm all good with it is because I got to know when he's going.
Like, no one gets it.
Like, what a privilege that is.
I got so lucky that I knew and I could be there with him every day
that we could eat cherries and we could talk in the morning
and we go for a drive and we can laugh.
I got to know, like, hey, this is when he's going and that's the day he picks.
So we're good.
You know, that's such a privilege.
Like, such a privilege to know that, like, yeah, I get to sit down with him.
And we get to be in that moment when he takes his last breath.
Again, super easy thing to be angry about it and to be sad about it.
And I definitely want to do those emotions.
But I think looking back and like, we kind of.
nice to know when you're going and then to see who shows up and and you uh in the days leading up
or maybe even weeks leading up what do you do you do you live with him do you spend time with him
how does it work oh man he uh um he so he was in like a like a elder care um we're in new zealand
it was very small town mochaika and we're all staying at my sisters not all my siblings showed up
which was kind of fascinating.
And I still feel a little bit tired about that.
And then even one of our other siblings
were trying to get money out of the wheel
before he was even gone.
And there was just so much random family drama
for no reason.
Like even another one wanted to,
couldn't make it down because of work stuff.
And I'm like, I'll just pay for your shit.
Like stop being an idiot.
You know, we have such a blessing here.
It was just so much drama that was going on,
which was unfair on him.
And because I was with him every day,
and I could see it like weighing on it.
Like it's already the scariest thing on the planet.
Yeah, I can't imagine what he's going through.
He's like, oh, this is all unraveling and I'm still here.
I'd be sitting with him and my siblings don't know this,
but I'd be sitting with him and just wish today was a day
because I'd see texts from people.
I'm like, yo, it's like, turn this shit off.
It is.
So those days were difficult because we, you know,
I just, the only goal was to be with him and to have a good day and to make him feel good.
It's already scary.
He's already got cancer.
He's already got Sarasasid's living.
Like, he's already falling apart.
He doesn't want to get out a bit.
Like, he's sleeping all day.
And, you know, I'm already trying to, like, let's wheel him out.
Like, let's go get some sunshine.
Let's go do stuff.
And let's go to the beach.
Um, and try and do things.
It's very difficult.
And, um, yeah, it's very, very scary time.
But it was the greatest, it was the coolest thing.
So cool.
Yeah, to see someone transition over, but also to still feel and with you.
It was really cool.
Yeah.
That, if you are open to talk about it, is that last moment, how does that happen?
So with the assisted dying process, and dude, we had the best doctor.
He's the man.
I forget his name.
He was so cool.
So we had, my dad requested people to, you know, requested people to be there in that process.
So he had one room in this hospice and we had another one opened up for where he wanted to, to cross over.
And the doctor was there, gave him some value and stuff.
He was in bed and I had a speech prepared.
So I was like, I need you there.
I was really worrying about this.
And then mind you, the night before, I thought it'd be funny to watch that movie,
Death at the Funeral, Death at a Funeral.
And now, mind you, not a good idea.
Because I thought that that would be, that would make light of it.
Worst thing ever.
I couldn't sleep.
But, yeah, we sit down and I get to tell him everything I've ever wanted to tell him.
And my sister, Sarah, she said, you have to hold his beat when he goes.
Because that's where all the magic comes out of.
I'm like, okay, so I'm sitting there, fucking squeezing his feet.
And some of their kids are there.
My brother-in-law is there.
He's the man.
Shout out, Dan.
And I remember I looked at the doctor.
And we all had whiskey a good.
He likes Chivas Regal.
And wanted to make sure he had a good, good last one, like a nightcap before he went over.
And I can't listen to Ed Shearing anymore.
because that was Dad's song that he wanted to go out on.
It was the song, Parding Glass.
So I haven't listened to Ed Shearing since.
And if I ever see Ed Shearing, I'll probably, if I ever meet him, I'll try and give my hug.
I'll just say, thank you so much for that beautiful song.
But yeah, he looked at the doctor.
He said, yeah, I'm ready.
And he makes, so there's two ways you can go out.
There's an IV, and the IV lights out super quick a couple minutes.
the drink is meant to take 10 or 15 minutes so he meant to slow you go off to sleep and
we got it advertised to us as like a really peaceful thing it was not at all he uh because my
dad hadn't really been eating at all because his stomach was off from the from the cancer and all
the meds he he fell asleep pretty quick um but the problem is the death gogogle i don't
know if you've heard of this you've heard of it it's the absolute
worst thing on the planet and would love anyone to kind of be prepared if I just just know that
when someone is trying to get air and their body shutting down it's it's a horrible thing to listen to
and um it's kind of weird because I can't really remember it but I can't because I remember my
head it felt like my my head was going to come out of my skin like I was just like trying to get all this
all his magic but also just yeah it was really it was really cozy and then anyway he
went off and immediately went outside the first thing I did is I called my mom and I said hey mom
that just this is everything that's happened the last month or so I told her everything I was in it
was in this for her first time yeah yeah so first time she she she knew she's not like she's not
silly but she knew someone was wrong and first time I told everything and um
And then I went back inside and I couldn't really be around him.
I couldn't really be around the body.
I was really struggling with that.
But the coolest thing is because my sisters are Moldi, their native museum,
in their culture, in the culture there, there's processes and stuff that they do,
which is really cool.
Like my sisters were like, we're keeping the body.
No one's taking the body.
This is out, is out that.
You're not going to take them, you're going to burn them.
We're doing everything.
It was really cool, so they had elders come to the room two hours after they'd passed.
My siblings had got him changed and put him in a nice suit that we picked.
And the elders come and did their ceremony.
Because they said after two hours, the soul is out of the body now and it's there.
The worst thing was putting his body in a coffin.
That's the worst thing after the death rattle.
you know he's just alive and he's normal he's stiff and he's talking and then now it's like
he's flopping everywhere so me and my brother-in-law and siblings pick him up and put him in
I must pass out put him in the coffin and then yeah we took the coffin and put it in the back of the
van and we took it to my sister's place and uh again because the culture in new zealand
they keep the body at their house for a couple days um I
thought and it sounds like it sounded like the worst thing on the planet but it was the greatest thing
i was so glad that we got to be with him like it was the coolest thing because you get to walk into
the room and just talk and just tell them everything and like tell them about what's going on day like
i'd sit down like hey dad Quinn called and he sent flowers or hey dad this this person is checking in
and they want to know that he's all good but everything's okay i got it like you just go sit at night
with him and whatever else the weirdest thing and the hardest thing is just how cold they are and
and whatever else.
But grief is so fascinating
and it's such an undervalued emotion.
Like, God, it was really
wild to see everyone turn into their own superhero.
Like, it was just really cool.
Did you get a chance to give your speech?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I told him.
Yeah, it was cool.
Yeah, it was really, really special.
I got to read it for him
and, yeah, it was.
It was a lot of tears.
And it was really nice.
We were sitting there and I'm like, oh, Dad, like, I'm going to look up in the stars.
I'm going to see you.
I'm going to look here and see you.
He said, no, it's just going to go to black.
I'm like, no, I don't want to believe in that.
I don't want to believe in that.
So that's why I've started this, like, journey after, whether it's, like, Christianity
or whatever else, like, to find a higher power or God.
So I've started reading the Bible and trying to figure out what I, what you believe in,
What I believe in?
Because there is something, and I think it's all just universal.
Like, I like the morals and stuff.
I need some help with that.
But just you're on the pathway to discovery is the most important.
So now, I mean, having gone through that, and thank you for sharing that.
Yeah.
Like, I think as you said it, that was beautiful.
It's the best, man.
It was beautiful.
So cool.
You know, what have you learned about grief?
Dude, grief is.
It never goes away and I never want it to go away.
I want to always feel when I think of my dad.
I want to always feel sad.
I always want to feel when I think of him.
And I love that about grief.
I love it so much.
I love that some days I'll be having the best day ever.
And then it's ruined because I'm like, damn, where's the old goose?
I love the control it has on me.
It's so nice.
It's so nice to feel and think about that person.
When was the last time you could ever think of something?
someone and it brings you some overwhelming amount of tears.
Dude, I wish I had that control on people.
That's so cool.
Like, that motherfucker's got me forever.
He'll just plonk into my head and ruin my day or make me so happy because my dad would
love this.
But with Greek, though, someone gave me a really good quote that it's like standing on the beach.
You know, sometimes the waves will go all the way out and you won't see him for a couple
days, but sometimes it'll come all the way in and knock you over and it'll be a tsunami.
Like it's always, it's always going to come and go.
just know the tide is going to go out, but the tide will always come back in.
So I really loved that about grief, but I just, it's also really fascinating to see
how everyone navigates it because there's no right way to go about it.
I realize that when having so many people around when my dad passed,
seeing each, like, my brother kind of turned into like a commando.
He's like, ta-da-da-da-da-da.
Everything has to get done.
My sisters, their soft, beautiful energy, like mothering everyone,
and keeping them locked in.
My mom, you know, pushing, pushing me away.
But me, it was like, got to be alone.
Gotta be isolated.
Like, not mad or not sad or anything, but just like, I'm just kind of walk.
I think I said to like Forrest Gump.
It's like, I'm just going to just walk.
Yeah.
Just walk and just just be, be me.
So it's very fast.
I think that's the coolest thing.
It is like when someone's happy, you know, everyone feels happiness.
Everyone's happy.
But like grief, it's like, everyone is.
so different with that.
Like, it's so, so weird.
Like, you know, when some people see traumatic stuff, they laugh.
They can't help it.
Yeah.
Like, so sad.
It's very cool.
You know what, Harry, my only, uh, great, my only issue with you in everything that
we've talked about thus far is you're not being proud of yourself.
Oh, wow.
You know what I mean?
Because I think that the way, if I can, you know, if I can impart some wisdom on you.
Yeah, please.
The, the one thing that I see, uh, that many people do is, you know, is that I think that I can't, you know,
is they look at joy or being proud as the destination.
So it's like, I'm doing all of this
to get to this particular place over here, this destination,
and then I will be proud, right?
Whereas the joy comes in the journey to the destination.
And what you've described is a very rich life.
Yeah.
Like because of your experiences,
but more so because of your ability to reflect
on those experiences.
become better. Like every day you're becoming better. I see it. Like you're a totally different person
than you were on the first reality or the second reality. You know what I mean? You're like you are
evolved. Damn. Into another person. You should be proud of that. Okay, I'll write it now. Yes. Thank you.
You really should be. Yeah. Last question. Okay. Everyone gets it. That is you've had incredible
conversations throughout your entire life.
Yeah.
Which one stands out as the most memorable.
And so who was it with?
And what did you learn?
Wow.
What a good question.
I would have to say, like, now at top of mine,
it's probably like the last kind of conversation with my dad.
You know, like that was special.
Obviously, well, obviously,
because we can't do it again.
I think that was really powerful.
But I think this was one of the greatest conversations.
have had.
Wow.
Yeah.
I really love that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's a lot of things I've never really spoken about or let my brain like go down
that path because I'm pretty jockey.
I'm like, oh, just got to go funny.
You got to make it laugh.
So yeah, I think if there's one thing, it would be my dad, this conversation and then
talking to God or whoever that is.
Because I've been really finding a lot of power in that and motivation.
and just knowing that everything is within.
Anything you want to do is right here.
You just got to think about it and talk and it's going to happen.
Yes, yes.
You know what I think is probably most incredible about you?
And this isn't me trying to just gas you up at the end.
Five, 12 million followers.
What is it?
12 million, you keep fluctuating on the numbers.
Whatever.
Well, after this, 50.
50.
Yeah, right.
You're after this.
Definitely.
This is the one.
This is the one.
This is the one.
I've seen you open up here like never before.
That's my guy.
That's because you're really good at this.
Oh, what?
It's his hot-ass house.
But this is truly, so I remember reading about X, the X factor.
Yeah.
Not the show.
I'm not doing that one.
Can't sing about that.
But the X factor, which is something that a lot of researchers say a very small percentage of people are born with.
Wow.
And the X-Factor is something indescribable,
but something that a very small number of people have
that makes them extraordinary.
It makes people ultra-compelled to them.
And when you walked in here, in a second I was like,
this guy's got the X-Factor.
And it's not being 6'5 only.
Because I've seen people who are 5 feet, you know what I mean?
They got it.
And they got it.
You have got it.
You truly, truly.
I mean, I'm like, I'm a people watcher, man.
You've got the ex-packer.
Thank you, mother.
And to whom much is given, much is required.
And the one thing that I want you to definitely leave with is that you've got a lot of young men who look up to you and will find inspiration in how you are evolving in your life and how and your self-reflection and your search for religion and you're opening up a,
about grief and you're reflecting on your relationships,
they're going to learn from you.
So as you started as this young boy,
wanting to make people laugh,
I think ultimately what you're going to be doing
is you're going to be changing the lives of many people
by them witnessing how you change your life.
Wow, look at you.
Yeah, man.
Dude, that's you.
That's not- You got it.
No, I thought X Factor you're gonna bring out all my exes.
I'm like, yeah.
Well, actually, that's the bonus round.
Oh, where are they?
I miss him.
Then I'll text me back.
Yeah.
Where are they?
No, dude, you're the best.
But truly, Harry, thank you.
Really appreciate your time.
You're the Vib.
Yeah.
Right.
Harry Jousy, I think that's my new BFF.
There's just something so warm about him that we all felt it on set, the moment that he walked in.
He's special, really special guy.
I'm shocked at the fact he is not proud of himself.
I am incredibly proud of him.
If you look at the steps that he's taken, if you look at how he's able to reflect on his life and the lessons he's pulled, he's matured.
That's something to be incredibly proud of.
Harry Jousie, a deserving superstar on the rise.
After Love Island, I didn't want to be here anymore.
I thought that was going to be the best thing.
I don't want to cry.
I was like, no, mentally okay.

Mora has built a career in the spotlight and on today's show, we'll step behind that spotlight to discuss her deeply personal challenges, battling grief, infidelity, and navigating the pressures of her rapid rise to fame.
I definitely wasn't there for love.
I'm literally going in because I've been cheated on.
I was on a revenge strike.
I had a breakdown.
I had dark thoughts.
How dark was it?
You have an experience with sexual assault.
We got in a taxi coming home from a night out,
and my friends got dropped off before me.
I fell asleep, and I woke up and his hand was up my skirt.
My partner at the time blamed me for that.
Blamed you.
Yeah. He said you shouldn't have drank that much.
He basically told me it was my fault.
What about relationships?
If I'm seen with a man, I'm sleeping with them.
Watch out.
Yeah.
