Ruck 'n Roll

If your life is lacking idle banter, dodgy bachelor cooking tips, general unhinged commentary on life, death and taxes, before you seek professional help, try a dose of Ruck 'n Roll. Grown men pontificating about pineapples, podcasts and pre-game performers is a cure all for the malice of modern day living. If this is reading like a thinly disguised attempt to hide the lack of meaningful content i...

It a Grand Old Show as we wrap up the 2025 AFL season. We have the poop on the Snoop and a bunch on the Brady drama. Finey discusses how the Lions took their chances and SJ Peak blasts the pre-game dancers. Ken has fallen out of love with the game and the rhyming must stop now, which is a shame.  Musically, the trip to 1986 brings little joy as pop becomes poop, rap becomes crap and a hit bec...

Grand Final week in Melbourne and the boys are up and about with tips, thoughts and the usual cut and thrust about the biggest day in the AFL. But wait, there's more - including Ken's gig review, SJP's health and beauty tips (which are better financially than his horse racing tips) and Kev's not backing the Dogg for a good show at the MCG on Saturday but he is on the Cats.  Musically, the dan...

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the unholy wows and kapows of Stephen J Peak as he ventures into that sacred of all Ruck 'n Roll commitments - a live gig on a school night with Saint Ken of Francis. Does it end in tears, beers or the local Chinese takeaway?  The footy finals means plenty of meaningful, manly type talk about really important football stuff like the games...

The show that knows no boundaries. The show that serves no masters. The show that ploughs its own furrow. The show that isn't frightened to say what no one else is thinking! This is that show and then some.  The pearls of wisdom come thick and fast from the learned lips of the regular cast. You'll never know from where they pluck it but they can't be far from that girl in Nantucket.  &nb...

The combination of Spring in the air, footy finals and a musical trip back to the hippy era brings a heightened, enlightened and at times frightened performance from members of the ensemble.  The raft of topics is as always a cacophony of differing views on the problems of the world!  As long as those problems only concern old blokes kicking a footy, plus-sized men go-go dancing through...

The footy tipping crown sits comfortably on the head of Finey - an easy victor in the finish. The final tip for the season confirmed S J Peak's stranglehold on the wooden spoon and -even when offered the chance to not finish last - he declined. Now you know the thinking, or lack thereof, behind his racing selections. Chances are, you have already lost ... your mind. He has.  There is lots of...

In a galaxy far, far away.......  The Wrath of Peak, the latest episode of The Galah Wars franchise, is unleashed as Stephen J fires up over football's horse trading, the F word and unpaid legal fees. Ken brings Paul Kelly's catalogue to the table for musical dissection and the results will surprise. Finey is not only living the dream, he's driving it now as you will hear, plus his thoughts o...

Which of these three movie quotes best sums up this week's episode of Ruck 'n Roll?  Forrest Gump: "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." Oliver Hardy  "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into!" Peter Sellers "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!" No cheating. Ring after the show on 867 5309 and ask for Jenny to claim...

Trying to illuminate the contents of the audio package you are about to unwrap is mountainous. Sir Edmund Hillary would need more than the sherpas of Nepal to plant his flag on the summit of this heap. Highlights include: SJP's reports on his latest speaking engagment.   Finey savages the father-son rule  Ken reviews 10CC and Tim Finn Live Kev unleashes on the Triple J Australian Ho...

The red light is on and there is no stopping the four horse manure of the apodcalypse. Finey shares some of his Japanese travels, Ken has been on the celebrity hotline to an Aussie showbiz icon and coincidentally Stephen J Peak is also having a Barry Crocker.  Bazza actually features in our weekly musical joust as the battlelines are drawn over a 4IP Top 40 from October 1973.  There's pl...

If you are easily offended, highly contagious, lactose intolerent, ticklish, scared of heights, potty trained, union accreditied, date stamped or hard of hearing, do we have a show for you! Fresh from filming Caligula 44 (with music and choregraphy by Coldplay) Kev, Peaky and Ken storm through topics like a ravenous mens' bicyle group at a French pastry shop. Musically, Ken wasn't even born when t...

Welcome to the only program in podcast history that goes from Bond: James Bond to Horne: Bo Horne. Why is it so? You have to listen to solve that conundrum. The twists and turns this show takes rival a Stephen King novel or a Kardashian pool party. There's football, foreign language, the new team sport of double dating plus other highly provocative, stimulating and compelling discourse. In other w...

Don't wait for the jury to come back on this one. Guilty on charges of broadcasting atrocities - including tasteless, mindless, factless and pointless points of view. Guilty of flogging a dead horse or two and in Stephen J Peak's case, tipping them. Guilty of over talking, talking over and talking shite. While the appeal is pending, take a musical trip back to July 1985 when Kev was on mornings on...

EOFY? BYO? AC/DC ✓ No mid year slump here and that is not the only thing missing from this show. Like the SCG, a visit from the Grass God would not hurt. What you will hear is sport for all corners of the world and the alphabet - AFL, NRL, F1, NBA and DARTS.                                  Even the music act look...

It is the podcast most recommended by the Proctologist Association of Biddleonia, and for good reason. Where else would you hear grown men discussing the wide ranging and thought provoking array of topics covered weekly in this show? That's right, only here and in a waiting room where they are about to be roshamboed (Thanks South Park)   Now that we have your attention! Kev, Finey and St...

Brush off those winter chills because those little rays of sunshine, happiness and fluffy white clouds in a blue sky return. Stephen J Peak, Mark Fine and Kevin Hillier - the demisters of life - defog the misty fields of footy, darts, baking, horse racing, golf, brain surgery and cricket but never rocket science (Ts & Cs and common sense apply). Their finely tuned and often whacked earholes sc...

Our musical journey this week takes us to the sizzling seventies, but much of the rest of the program has barely left the cave. Stephen J Peak gives us an interesting insight into lawyers watching lawyers and again shows why he never became a professional punter. Ken Francis is in for Finey and as always brings decorum and knowledge to the discussion. We'd prefer hot chips or chocolate, but that's...

Finey returns and he has come from the clouds in the footy tipping to be the clear leader at the halfway point of the season. Did Peak peak too early and is Kev's bias is costing him? Will he ever get over those prelim final losses of the eighties and nineties? There is plenty of footy news to discuss as well as F1, NRL, darts and racing. FYI - Stewards are currently investigating what type of dar...

Not only do we musically travel back to 1979 and the height of the disco boom, but Stephen J Peak relives his daze of gold tipped shoes, tight fitting cream corduroy slacks and lemon cotton body shirts and shaking his groove thing at Inflation and The Underground.  But wait, there's more - and fortunately it is not more of that. All codes of footy get a run, especially Ange, NRL State of Orig...

It's another Fine (less) mess you have gotten yourself into. Finey is still absent and it is working wonders with his footy tipping. We may suggest something similar for Stephen J Peak if his current form continues, both in footy and the sport of kings. It might be too late for Stephen to replicate his famous advertising chant about losing his shirt and pants, 'cause chances are he is about to los...

This show is more bat cave than conclave, more dope than Pope. Critics say Ruck 'n Roll is all the rage and they are right. Ken has been raging with ZZ Top and George Thorogood. Kev's raging about football commentary like patrons at a Tina Arena show and the jury is still deciding if Stephen J Peak was the victim or cause of four road rage incidents in one kilometre last Friday night as he scurrie...

It has come to the attention of the show's producers that certain members of the Ruck 'n Roll ensemble are NOT on drugs. How this was able to occur is the subject of an internal investigation and the findings will be made public - forthwith (whatever that means).    As for the actual program, Finey is off this week but is basking in the glory of his best week in the tipping. Ken has been...

We are a soldier down as we wrap up the Anzac weekend of sport. In true St. Kilda style, Finey has been subbed out and Ken Francis joins Kev and Stephen J. Timely, as Ken was front row at The Shrine during the dawn service and gives some very interesting insights and observations into what happened during the ceremony. Some robust discussion follows about the protests, the protagonists and the who...

In an episode oozing with the goodness of a glass and a half of fresh, full cream bulldust and more pertinent than any political press conference, Ruck 'n Roll again exaggerates its own importance.     As the last morsels of Easter eggs and hot cross buns pass their lips, Kev, Finey and Stephen J regale all with their thoughts and views on a wide range of world topics. God knows wha...
