The interview starts off well, with Maynard referring to the legendary band as the Painters Dickers, which could absolutely only be a cue card typo and definitely not a crass moment from the usually chaste Maynard.
This is no ordinary sit-down interview; instead you will find an action-packed rollercoaster, perfectly recreating the experience of Melbourne’s legendary Painters & Dockers playing Sydney for the first time in 25 years at The Factory on Saturday 8th August. Maynard got up, played his trombone with them and spoke with the band, and captured the excitement of what was a blustery night of Dock Rock.
This show is lewd and contains ribald language.

Bunga Bunga 16 has Tim miffed because Maynard enjoyed himself at the Morrissey show. They examine the art of dog shaming and buy a selfie stick. Maynard meets lots of happy Morrissey fans at the May 27th show at Sydney Opera House, Tim doesn’t understand and rants. Maynard pulls a pop legend out of his Bug Out Bag as Tim bangs on about the Magna Carta (again). This podcast is ribald, NSFW and contains a selfie stick and a unicorn butt plug.
