6
00:00:23,804 --> 00:00:26,444
Speaker 1: still and thank goodness, because the world without Tim Minchin

7
00:00:27,084 --> 00:00:30,724
Speaker 1: isn't worth living in. The musical Mastermind has released a

8
00:00:30,724 --> 00:00:33,243
Speaker 1: new album called Tim Minchin Time Machine. I think he's

9
00:00:33,284 --> 00:00:36,043
Speaker 1: missed an opportunity. Tim Mintion and Tim Machine would have

10
00:00:36,084 --> 00:00:37,324
Speaker 1: been better genius.

11
00:00:37,364 --> 00:00:37,684

12
00:00:38,444 --> 00:00:40,884

00:00:40,964 --> 00:00:44,044
Speaker 1: recently well, just turned fifty last week and has run

14
00:00:44,043 --> 00:00:46,284
Speaker 1: a marathon. The smell of Denker rub is thick in

15
00:00:46,284 --> 00:00:46,523
Speaker 1: the air.

16
00:00:46,564 --> 00:00:49,924
Speaker 3: Tim Minchin, Hello, it's good to see you, bro.

17
00:00:50,084 --> 00:00:52,204
Speaker 2: This is the time when you're about to turn fifty.

18
00:00:52,564 --> 00:00:54,924
Speaker 2: This is when you start doing marathons because.

19
00:00:54,724 --> 00:00:57,564
Speaker 3: Or you do Kakoda, you read christ.

20
00:00:57,644 --> 00:00:59,604
Speaker 2: Once you get over fifty, then you go into that

21
00:00:59,764 --> 00:01:02,484
Speaker 2: zone where you just drop dead for no reason. Yeah,

22
00:01:02,564 --> 00:01:05,044
Speaker 2: and that's what happens. And they say, what happened to me?

23
00:01:05,164 --> 00:01:07,324
Speaker 2: He just died and no one has any didn't have

24
00:01:07,404 --> 00:01:08,324
Speaker 2: cancer and he just died.

25
00:01:09,244 --> 00:01:09,884
Speaker 3: I don't mind that.

26
00:01:10,444 --> 00:01:13,604
Speaker 4: I actually was discussing that yesterday with my wife. I'm like,

27
00:01:14,044 --> 00:01:18,164
Speaker 4: if I dropped dead from now on, it'll be incredibly disappointing,

28
00:01:18,524 --> 00:01:20,804
Speaker 4: but I won't be like, oh, I should have should

29
00:01:20,804 --> 00:01:23,244
Speaker 4: have spent my time better, Like I've had a crack,

30
00:01:23,404 --> 00:01:25,203
Speaker 4: you know, in the last little while, and.

31
00:01:25,203 --> 00:01:27,524
Speaker 1: Speak of having a crack. Tell us how the marathon went.

32
00:01:27,764 --> 00:01:28,404
Speaker 3: I was great.

33
00:01:28,484 --> 00:01:31,083
Speaker 1: I are you a constant marathon runner?

34
00:01:31,244 --> 00:01:33,004
Speaker 4: No, I've never done a marathon. I did a half

35
00:01:33,004 --> 00:01:35,204
Speaker 4: marathon about fifteen years ago and loved it, but thought

36
00:01:35,564 --> 00:01:37,844
Speaker 4: I probably I love running. I've run since I was

37
00:01:37,884 --> 00:01:42,364
Speaker 4: a teenager, just by myself. Though. You know, everyone told

38
00:01:42,404 --> 00:01:44,684
Speaker 4: me at the marathon on the weekend that running sort

39
00:01:44,724 --> 00:01:46,764
Speaker 4: of exploded as a thing and everyone's doing it now,

40
00:01:46,764 --> 00:01:48,764
Speaker 4: and I sort of had missed that. I've just been

41
00:01:48,804 --> 00:01:52,444
Speaker 4: trotting around Centennial gardens, you know, for years and years,

42
00:01:52,804 --> 00:01:55,524
Speaker 4: and yeah, you're the only one I thought have Yeah,

43
00:01:55,524 --> 00:01:56,804
Speaker 4: I thought it was my I thought I'd made it

44
00:01:56,844 --> 00:01:57,084
Speaker 4: up me.

45
00:01:57,444 --> 00:01:59,724
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to run anyway I had.

46
00:01:59,764 --> 00:02:03,044
Speaker 4: I went down to Melbourne and ran it and raised

47
00:02:03,044 --> 00:02:05,004
Speaker 4: a bunch of money for Beyond Blue because a bunch

48
00:02:05,004 --> 00:02:05,764
Speaker 4: of I didn't.

49
00:02:05,524 --> 00:02:07,244
Speaker 3: Raise it, like sixty three thousand.

50
00:02:07,924 --> 00:02:10,244
Speaker 4: This is the amazing thing I mean, social media is

51
00:02:10,284 --> 00:02:13,404
Speaker 4: such a horror show these days. But because I was

52
00:02:13,483 --> 00:02:15,884
Speaker 4: quite early on social media and have all these followers,

53
00:02:15,884 --> 00:02:17,803
Speaker 4: if I go I'm running a marathon, it doesn't take

54
00:02:18,244 --> 00:02:21,124
Speaker 4: a huge percentage of them to contribute to get good numbers.

55
00:02:21,163 --> 00:02:24,483
Speaker 4: So I'm super proud and pleased with my followers.

56
00:02:24,483 --> 00:02:28,163
Speaker 2: Away from your philanthropic endeavors, from running to raising money.

57
00:02:28,803 --> 00:02:31,883
Speaker 2: Tim mentioned time machine, So these are songs that you

58
00:02:31,923 --> 00:02:33,204
Speaker 2: wrote when you're in your twenties.

59
00:02:33,404 --> 00:02:34,763
Speaker 3: Yeah, we begs the question.

60
00:02:34,844 --> 00:02:37,083
Speaker 2: And I've often thought this of musicians, is that when

61
00:02:37,084 --> 00:02:39,044
Speaker 2: you're your most prolific, you look at the Beatles of

62
00:02:39,124 --> 00:02:41,484
Speaker 2: Rolling Stones. You know, Mick Jagger was twenty seven when

63
00:02:41,483 --> 00:02:43,764
Speaker 2: he wrote Symphony for Sympathy for the Devil.

64
00:02:43,884 --> 00:02:46,404
Speaker 4: I know, the Beatles wrote everything before they turn thirty.

65
00:02:46,444 --> 00:02:51,364
Speaker 4: It's just completely bonkers. I compared myself to the Stones

66
00:02:51,404 --> 00:02:56,444
Speaker 4: and the Beatles. Yeah, I had a really prolific time

67
00:02:56,803 --> 00:02:59,043
Speaker 4: before things started going In a couple of years before

68
00:02:59,043 --> 00:03:01,603
Speaker 4: two thousand and five, which is when things kicked off

69
00:03:01,603 --> 00:03:04,484
Speaker 4: for me as a comedian, I wrote a lot, and

70
00:03:04,684 --> 00:03:07,083
Speaker 4: some of that stuff's good. And because the stuff I

71
00:03:07,124 --> 00:03:08,844
Speaker 4: wrote in the first five years of the twenty five

72
00:03:09,043 --> 00:03:12,564
Speaker 4: century was not seen or heard because I wasn't No,

73
00:03:12,603 --> 00:03:15,324
Speaker 4: I didn't have an audience yet. They've just sat there

74
00:03:15,564 --> 00:03:17,043
Speaker 4: a lot of those songs, and I thought I might

75
00:03:17,084 --> 00:03:19,764
Speaker 4: as well put them out. So I didn't intend to

76
00:03:19,764 --> 00:03:21,284
Speaker 4: make a big fuss of it. But then my record

77
00:03:21,324 --> 00:03:23,444
Speaker 4: company heard the songs and went, we should, we should.

78
00:03:23,483 --> 00:03:25,323
Speaker 3: This is an album, let's get behind. Have you re

79
00:03:25,324 --> 00:03:26,284
Speaker 3: recorded them? Yeah?

80
00:03:26,363 --> 00:03:31,004
Speaker 4: Yeah, completely new recordings, quite live recordings, all done in

81
00:03:31,204 --> 00:03:35,844
Speaker 4: a five day period in a studio and not massively altered.

82
00:03:35,884 --> 00:03:38,884
Speaker 4: But just I've never properly recorded these songs.

83
00:03:39,084 --> 00:03:39,844
Speaker 3: When you look.

84
00:03:39,764 --> 00:03:43,924
Speaker 1: Back at your young twenties self, is he still really

85
00:03:43,924 --> 00:03:47,683
Speaker 1: close to the surface to you? Or can you see

86
00:03:47,884 --> 00:03:48,684
Speaker 1: how you've changed?

87
00:03:48,764 --> 00:03:49,844
Speaker 4: How do you feel about that?

88
00:03:50,564 --> 00:03:53,724
Speaker 1: I feel that my daggy teenage self is still so

89
00:03:53,924 --> 00:03:54,404
Speaker 1: close to this.

90
00:03:54,724 --> 00:03:58,964
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I feel that about you. I feel a

91
00:03:59,004 --> 00:03:59,524
Speaker 3: bit of both.

92
00:03:59,564 --> 00:04:01,604
Speaker 4: Sometimes I look at my songs and I think, oh,

93
00:04:01,644 --> 00:04:05,004
Speaker 4: you were doing all right back then. But he feels

94
00:04:05,004 --> 00:04:08,164
Speaker 4: like a stranger to me. Yeah, especially in my childhood

95
00:04:09,004 --> 00:04:11,764
Speaker 4: in a way that I don't. I don't have contempt

96
00:04:11,803 --> 00:04:14,204
Speaker 4: for old me. I just sort of think a lot

97
00:04:14,204 --> 00:04:16,164
Speaker 4: of things have changed, and I've had to change with him.

98
00:04:16,404 --> 00:04:19,724
Speaker 4: You know, I think I write differently now, I approach

99
00:04:19,764 --> 00:04:22,484
Speaker 4: the world differently now, but I feel continuity and the

100
00:04:22,524 --> 00:04:24,924
Speaker 4: type of brain I have, I still have a The

101
00:04:24,964 --> 00:04:27,524
Speaker 4: way I view the world is very much born of

102
00:04:27,564 --> 00:04:29,604
Speaker 4: the sort of brain you're given. I think everyone's like that.

103
00:04:31,084 --> 00:04:33,764
Speaker 3: First or the songs.

104
00:04:33,324 --> 00:04:36,084
Speaker 4: I'm pretty I tend to find a lyric idea or

105
00:04:36,164 --> 00:04:38,084
Speaker 4: a hook that I think that's a good idea for

106
00:04:38,124 --> 00:04:41,124
Speaker 4: a song, and then it grows outwards in both directions.

107
00:04:41,564 --> 00:04:43,644
Speaker 4: But usually it comes from a conceptual idea, not a

108
00:04:43,724 --> 00:04:44,884
Speaker 4: musical idea, but not always.

109
00:04:44,964 --> 00:04:48,524
Speaker 1: Sometimes because Jonesy was a musician when he was younger.

110
00:04:48,564 --> 00:04:50,524
Speaker 4: Now I just heard some that drum.

111
00:04:50,284 --> 00:04:52,124
Speaker 1: Fell well pretty much it's hard.

112
00:04:53,604 --> 00:04:55,764
Speaker 4: I know you made you made it clear in that

113
00:04:55,884 --> 00:04:58,524
Speaker 4: recording that it is hard to sing and a.

114
00:04:58,484 --> 00:05:00,924
Speaker 3: Perfect example of how hard it is. And a man

115
00:05:01,004 --> 00:05:03,363
Speaker 3: of mos, Phil Collins. But when he did in the

116
00:05:03,404 --> 00:05:05,044
Speaker 3: Air tonight, that poor.

117
00:05:04,844 --> 00:05:10,364
Speaker 2: Guy a guitar still the bass player or just a

118
00:05:10,444 --> 00:05:12,084
Speaker 2: lead to see you they don't do anything.

119
00:05:11,764 --> 00:05:16,123
Speaker 3: They're off. Yeah, it's absolutely, it's difficult. It's difficult. Although

120
00:05:16,164 --> 00:05:16,644
Speaker 3: the lyrics.

121
00:05:16,684 --> 00:05:19,644
Speaker 2: No lies, you're telling me what to do, No lies,

122
00:05:19,844 --> 00:05:21,164
Speaker 2: you're telling me what to be.

123
00:05:21,524 --> 00:05:23,444
Speaker 3: No lies, I'm going to see this through. I love

124
00:05:23,484 --> 00:05:24,644
Speaker 3: it doesn't really make.

125
00:05:24,604 --> 00:05:26,444
Speaker 4: Really, it's strong, It makes more sense than most of

126
00:05:26,484 --> 00:05:27,804
Speaker 4: the stuff people.

127
00:05:27,884 --> 00:05:30,484
Speaker 3: Right, So this is I'm getting praised and Tim he
