> (Column Two - Column One) = Total Minutes

This is quite a hack, and there's probably a better way. But it works:

  SELECT ROUND( (unix_timestamp(column_one) - unix_timestamp(column_two)) /60 )
  as my_minutes;

I found this by searching for 'date'. Then, after learing how to use UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), 
I searched for 'round' (on a hunch) and found that MySQL has a rounding function that 
fixed my number for me.
