A Very Maynard Xmas 2022
A Very Maynard Xmas is the highlight of the year for people who don’t get out a lot. The extravaganza purports to have a level of Xmas pageantry rarely seen in Australia. This year the spotlight occasionally falls on “unimpressed Germans”: witness attempts by a handful of varied musicians that fail to crack a smile on that Germanic dial.
Our guests dropping by this year include Tim Ferguson, Lesley Fountain, Chris Kelly from Ship O Fools, Brigitte Handley, Christopher Laird, Tony Push, Frank Bennett, George Hrab, Mari Wilson, “Weird” Al Yankovic, 3 pugs and loads of Yuletide surprises.
A Very Maynard Xmas 2022 promises you almost two hours of Xmas entertainment you probably won’t be able to describe to friends afterwards. “There was this guy in a suit and Toyah, a bugle, fire, Vegemite, Mari Wilson cursed a fig tree & a Dark Wave guy held up signs in his pyjamas while someone read a poem in Dymocks”.
Weird, Weirder, Weirdest! – “Weird Al” Yankovic video special
To celebrate the “Weird Al” Yankovic epic biopic release worldwide, let’s watch some Weird Al clips. From the vault in the famous Maynard International Studios in Australia, Maynard will showcase some of his favourite Weird Al material.
Tim Ferguson will also throw some easy Weird Al questions at you, and we screen Maynard’s previously unseen interview with Al during his first tour of Australia in 2003. (He didn’t do any shows during his 1990 UHF promotional visit.)
Weird Al and Maynard first met in 1990 at Flinders Street Railway Station on Al’s 30th birthday for Maynard’s Triple J breakfast show. Below is the scene shortly after Maynard rubbed Al’s birthday cake over himself.
PS He gave Al a second one as pictured!

Tim Ferguson & Maynard return to face their recent recriminations. Tim is making art. Maynard finds his art in a Glebe back alley. Contains occasional casual burlesque.
The Nitty Gritty dance that blew Tim’s mind is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S3Yt-NxY0E
The version of Moon River is Audrey’s vocal as used in the film. It wasn’t available outside the movie till after her death in 1993.
We sneak in Terri “Cup Cake” O’Mason mistaking her baking speciality by referring to her as “Cookie”. Sorry Terri.
Thanks to Ben Begley, Slice Radio & Peter Young for your Crankmail in this show.
Watch Lesley Fountain’s Wonderful World of Dance and be as impressed as Tim was by the video spectacular.

Bunga Bunga 71 reaches across the aisle to goose your jaded pooka.
Tim Ferguson calls the upcoming Federal election. It was when Labor was ahead by 10 points. But he’s probably right, yet again. Maynard risks COVID by going out and working Electric Dreams on the 30th.
In a show described by media pundits as “you get what you get and you don’t get upset” Tim and Maynard talk a big game and leave you with a free kick that you never knew you needed.
Your Crankmail asks about Telly Savalas, Ricardo Montalban, and just what was that nice lady on Romper Room doing with that mirror? Do you really think Bunga Bunga 71 has the answers…
“Time for big ideas Australia. Let’s build a Sydney Harbour Bridge to Adelaide. Sure, we’ll regret it later, but now is the time!”
Tim Ferguson – Uncivil Engineer
Tim’s new modern not-at-all-like-Davros electric wheelchair gets a test drive while we visit 1994 and ruin another Historical Hypothetical with the help of the Premier of NSW.
“Buckle in for a policy free, vision absent six weeks election campaign where occasionally The Greens will stand up and say ‘Clive Palmer shouted at us’.”

This time on the enlightening falsehood that is Bunga Bunga 70, Tim Ferguson and Maynard lead you on a wild goose chase down the rabbit hole of froth and bubble.
You’ll encounter manic expansionism, lack of credibility, confused animals, three word headlines and The Brothers Gibb.
Tim insults the young, Paul Livingstone decries Tim’s art, then they announce an art exhibition in June together.
“If you are sporting a mullet today, don’t tell me you can’t dress like Boy George tomorrow.”
Tim Ferguson – fashion plate
We hear you peeing, ask which side Tim’s cat is on, bemoan the lack of banana diplomatic representation, find a new job for the Prime Minister, ask who is your favourite Bernard and pose the perennial question “when does ugh boot season officially start?’.
In time travel news: 1982 is back, so learn how to talk all art school. Might come in handy next time you enter the Archibald prize.
Should the next Doctor Who be a cat? Should it have a limp? Are baked desserts part of the ABC News charter?
Bunga Bunga 70 is beguiling yet ribald as Maynard appreciates the subtle use of a Greek fisherman’s cap while Tim still wants to know why you are so ignorant. Don’t even get him started on kale…
“Most young people couldn’t even decide what colour helmet to wear if they went into space.”

Brain Freeze – A Coldest 100 video livestream
A hungry nation, starved of good news and well meaning carry-on, enjoyed Brain Freeze with 30 odd (very odd) video clips from the 2022 Coldest 100.
From Kylie, to Muppets to Barry Crocker and Melissa Tkautz, it’s 90 minutes YOU don’t have to apologise for.
Keep an eye out for special guests Tim Ferguson, Brigitte Handley, Lesley Fountain/Glenn Keenan & DJ Mark Alsop and others that should know better, drop in to add to the cultural carnage.
@OzKitsch on Twitter has been compiling this list every January for the last seven years. So about time someone made a video show out of it….
Listen to Andrew Sholl & Maynard playing some of The Coldest 100, 2022
