He might be full of shit, but its eloquently put. At least he has the self awareness now to take the piss out of himself.
The story he tells was the Chechu Rubiera, long time Armstrong domestique, was from the area and knew the descent beforehand would be treacherous so was trying to organise a rider protest. Millar was up for it, but then when he crashed on a straight section of road, decided to do something. His injuries from the crash would have probably led to his abandon anyway, so he rode up the Angliru, getting pushed by fans for a lot of it, and abandoned shy of the line in protest. Except no one noticed.

I stand corrected.
I like the podcast but refused to pay to get KM0 given it was free at the other grand tours.
Either way - Millar is full of shit. I was amazed to see David Walsh leaning on Millar's judgement in this article...
