I'm a Black woman and a huge Tim Minchin fan. I for one am glad that he wrote "Prejudice" as I find it a perfect metaphor for why the "N" word is offensive when used by those outside of our race even though you would think it should be obvious. It's one of my favourite songs of his. It's also the best use of misdirection in a song ever. I love watching reaction videos to it immensely.

Tim says at 15.40: “Maybe that’s how we move forward, we make sure people like me don’t get second chances.” Cancel culture is not the way forward in my opinion.

I could already listen to you both separately forever but when you add honest discourse to the mix, wow! Very important questions and I think the tone was amazing... I love both of you and have seen your range of works. Tim, you are respected here, and I hope you feel that as the years go on. Stan, I love how you engage personally and don't just ask robotic questions. Beautifully done!

I grew up in an Aboriginal family. And not once did I ever hear that word. I heard all the others. I think it's a case of too much American television.

I am a big fan of Tim Minchin but I think Stan Grant was much to interested in his wealth than the person and was good to see Tim Minchin run rings around him with answers he really could not fathom

Well.... I could listen to these gentlemen for quite a bit longer. Thank you.

Can’t help but respect Tim’s view on where and how he fits in the world… he has and will continue to change the world within his industry, and he will be humble about it… BUT he understands the impact he has on others in the process… so smart, so relaxed, so defiant, and so fcking awesome, Tim understands his influence…. Both he and I are Perth boys and we chose different directions….. still can’t help to feel an affinity to him..

I couldn't help but feel that Stan was attacking Minchin over and over. Kudos for keeping cool, Tim. And as thoughtful and articulate as always. Stan may need some therapy. Tim tackles the hard questions daily, that's who he is. Stan's aggression was so unwarranted. The deep, interesting conversation this could have been was overshadowed by something mean spirited.

I could genuinely have listened to this for 5 hours! Excellent!

Is a Japanese man who grows up comfortably in Japan an example of Asian privilege? Or does race privilege only exist in free and open multicultural western societies? Does Brown privilege, or Arab privilege, or Han Chinese privilege, or Black privilege exist in any foreign countries or cultures?

Superb. I wish it went longer. A podcast series with these two gentlemen, I would love to hear😊 Thanks!

I'm not familiar with this show, but the questioning, particularly at the start of the interview, came off super aggressive.

I absolutely hated this. You have someone like Tim Minchin to chat to, with all his talent, achievement and more importantly, humility and respect for others, and you spend 95% of the interview getting him to play identity politics. What a waste. He has nothing to apologize for, and because he isn’t the ignorant narcissist your questions portrayed him to be, he humbly accepted your unrecognizable characterization of him anyway. What a waste of an opportunity to have a meaningful conversation with someone who has interesting things to say. And by the way, absolutely YES, ‘The Dreaming’ is no different than other religions, which use demonstrably false narratives to subjugate others and ignore its pitiful lack of evidence. It represents, as ALL religions do, the period of ignorance of our species of biological and environmental causality, and those who perpetuate it now, do so knowingly that bereft of evidence, it can nonetheless be used to assert dominance and power over the credulous. Your religion doesn’t get a special pass, because white people acted abominably in usurping your country. I came here to see what Tim had to say, not to see how much he would apologize for his identity - his work speaks to that, if you’d only listen.

Tim Minchin is for people who still earnestly quote Monty Python

This isn't the correct interviewer because he doesn't get Tim Minchin. It's a damned shame. When I first listened to his music, I'd wished that he was my son. It didn't take long before I began to wish that he was my father. Having grown up in a humorless, abusive atmosphere, his music is surprisingly cathartic. Thank you!

This is about reconciliation and making amends. Changing the way we think and behave. Most of us cringe thinking about the things we said and did an the past BECAUSE we didn't do anything to reverse the karma, or effects of the causes. If wrongness is done, doing right corrects the heading; doing right with intention to BE different cleans up the mess instead of leaving it for others.

We have to be careful about going too far down the path of identity politics. It isn't working out too well in the USA. Tim Minchin feeling constantly compelled to apologise for being a white male is rather cringeworthy. Privilege comes in many different forms that are not exclusively white or male.

I am always glad to get to hear Tim's opinions.

Tim is beyond fabulous.

is there an extended version of this? It got so good at the end.

Tim Minchin is a Iegend, the world would be a worse place had he not been able to write some of the incredibly clever music that he has created.

There is no way to know what George Carlin and Robin Williams would have said about 2020 and the end Trump’s Presidency-- Tim PLEASE let the crazy white gun-toting, ,God-fearing Americans inspire you!!!! This horrible situation can surely produce excellent jokes haha I live in SC (“Deep South” United States) a place where truth and humor are both in short supply. Thank you for the laughs ❤️

Awesome discussion. I know Stan gets criticised for talking too much, but he is always informed and asking interesting questions.

Extremely disappointing not to have had more of an insight into the amazing talent and personality of Tim Minchin and less time spent comparing 'privileged' upbringings with other circumstances. I thought One Plus One was an opportunity to learn more about an individual rather than promoting a personal agenda.

Stan loves the sound of his own opinion.

Loved it - the dialogue was the best bit.

Thank you both.

Poor Tim, made to feel so uncomfortable - but for what? To reveal more about Tim or to assuage Stan's shoulder chips? I expected more of these two great communicators.

More of this, please!

Tim is a humanist. 😍

Does Stan Grant ever do an interview where colour is not mentioned? Its become tedious. I couldnt last the whole interview/rant. What a wasted opportunity.

"Prejudice" is a song about white privilege victims. Witty and clever and arrogant. Totally great! Love you, Tim!

I dont think the 'Predudce ' song is all bad because it helped me as a privilaged white female uderstand more about cultrual appropiation.

Worst interview I've seen From the outset grant set his prey up Rich white privelige as opposed to ......... Represents everything going wrong when a comedian is publicly lynched I stupidly tuned in expecting to hear about the gingas life and works such as 'upright' which I thought was excellent Then I checked to see the subject matter was identity And the opening line 'who are you ? ' was frightening lol

This is Technicolor. Shows what creatives can do with a black and white dialogue of friendly understanding. G'dongya mates.

Can you guys make a longer chat! Listening to Tim is a privilege we don't get a lot. Stan although I don't know much of him seems like a great person to be able to have this conversation. I do though wish Tim could be a little less judgemental of himself. Prejudice as a song IMHO is a great conversation starter even in your own head. It makes something unobtainable for many White people a little closer to a taste of actual prejudice. The start of the song gives people the welling of having the N-word conversation but then gives permission.

Stan should learn not to talk over the top of those he's interviewing.

Great interview. Love Tim Minchin and the interviewer, besides being easy on the eye was really interesting too. Who is he? As a confirmed "leftie" for nigh on 40 years, I'm frankly bewildered by a lot of what's going on today. People *do* make mistakes (and learn from them!) but if you held some of the things people said and did in the past (especially my generation, among whom casual and even overt racism/sexism/homophobia were the norm) we'd all be "cancelled" Me, as much as anyone!

❤❤Thank goodness for Tim Minchin •°~▪︎ And his words of wisdom ☆•° ❤🙏

Tim, of course, the DREAMING is BS.

"Religion" is "rejoining". What an individual does with it is something else.

Geez, it's all about race and privilege to Stan. Couldn't watch past 10 minutes.

Love you Tim! Such a smart and clever person that I aspire to be like. I feel like there was a bit of shade thrown at Perth in this video though! It’s not too bad.

Tim may check all of the boxes of "white male privilege" but it was just how he was born. It's what he has done (or not done) with that that's important. And I think he's turned out very well.

I could have listened for another hour.. or 2 or 3.

What a truly embarrassing interview. Cringe worthy. Stan I have the utmost respect for you but if you want to interview yourself maybe don’t invite someone else along and if you want to take a swipe at someone get your arguments in order.

Identity politics attacking people for what families they happen to be born into instead of attacking the system and the people in power who still profit on wars and oppression, and the hidden colonialism of our time. And part of this is also neoliberalism making social mobility much, much harder - or even impossible - for the unprivileged. I think Tim is a great artist, btw. And also he seems to be very intelligent.

I love Tim's older stuff

The world is the world. It’s for those who CHOOSE to make the most of it. No one is “privileged” anymore. Anyone can do anything they put their mind to. Some might have to work harder than others but that isn’t only based on Race, Gender, or Sexual preference. A straight white male might have a more difficult experience than a homosexual woman of colour. To say otherwise completely underestimates a large number of individual lived experiences. I’m not saying the history isn’t what it is or that these people don’t have individual struggles but it is history. Sure some people are still bigots, and have their opinions, However opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and some are shitty.

Stan stop sun-baking

Yes you are correct Stan All imagibary gibbering is the problem.

If he wants to see himself he either looks in the mirror, or he looks at a photo of himself.

who else rolled their eyes when Stan said "i have travelled all over the world"

why have shame about being a human?

Lol Scam um that was a slip✌️👍

✨ 🌈 🙏 My two fav people 💚🌻🦘🐨🇦🇺🧞‍♂️

Excellent video.

Blah!! What a croc!

Very generous of you Stan.
