Ruck 'n Roll

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...

Some say Stephen J Peak sits on his musical taste and many have, but he certainly does not sit quietly. Queen is the latest to incur his disapproval: "Not one good track" he said last week. We put it to the RnR musical test this week. Will it be Goo Goo, Gar Gar or something more Flash? The sports menu has plenty of footy of all codes, Rory in all his golfing glory and maybe some racing winners? L...

For daylight saving, we have wound the clocks back to April 1980, not just to accommodate Stephen J Peak's wardrobe and Kev's Dad jokes, but to relive a 3XY Top 40 chart that Finey says is 'The best ever'!  From Split Enz to Blondie, it is one for the ages. It is early doors in the footy season but SJP claims the Saints are finals certainties and seven teams are done and dusted for 2025, but...

Send lawyers, puns and money because the you know what does hit you know who. Follow the bouncing ball of this week's episode. Act 1:  A spirited, sensible and sharp discussion on the sports events of the week. Act 2:  A sincere acknowledgement of those who have passed in the last seven days on the Deathalyser. Intermission:  BYO snacks, drinks and mind altering substances Act 3:&nb...

Stephen J Peak should be basking in the glory of the mighty Saints and his own tipping form, but instead the burbling beak from the bayside sits uneasy in the chair amid the impending ramifications of a dodgy chicken souvlaki. Finey's fractured and factual fairy tale may have a happy ending but it is an eyewatering journey to that destination. Kev's lost in a musical tsunami of golden memories, di...

Footy finally gets a proper start and the boys have plenty to say about suspensions, media beat ups, the pitiful performances of Port and the Blues and the abyss facing Saints supporters. Stephen J Peak is struggling to find a footy winner but maybe he'll find a four legged beast of burden to salute the judge. The unique Lenny's Fine Foods Footy Tipping comp gets into full swings and roundabouts,...

Let the games begin and they shall, as Kev, Finey and Stephen J roll out their thoughts on the AFL season opening, the first round of real AFL action, the mighty Melbourne Storm's insane first game plus darts, racing, squid wrestling and India's cricket win. One of those topics is not included? Bugger the Indians!  Musically, we dial into the 4BC Top 40 chart from April 9th 1969 and it isn't...

It is more off Broadway than an Oscar extravaganza as Kev, Finey and Stephen J Peak slip into the opening round of the AFL with their thoughts and selections. After a controversial inaugural season, Lenny's Fine Foods Footy Tipping returns. Musically this week it is sporting songs of varying persuasions that come under the watchful eye, critical tongue and tone deaf ears of the Ruck 'n Rollers.&nb...

On the Ruck 'n Roll menu this week a smorgasbord of tasty topics. There's cricket of all levels, from the elite in Pakistan to the headbutter in Gippsland. Football is served up in all flavours - AFL, NRL, and EPL. Musically Kylie tops the chart du jour from March 20, 1988 but does she make anyone's good or bad list? It is an all you can stomach episode (as it always is). Ruck ON!!    &n...

Stephen J Peak is in the wars. Kev can see light, crosses and a complete lack of activity at the end of the tunnel and Finey takes jumbo schnitzels and mini kisses. What does it all mean? Is this a sign from above? Is she really going out with him? Are Friends Electric? Do you know the way to San Jose? If you don't, listen to the episode now. More of these musically inane questions will be posed r...

It's Question Time in the Ruck 'n Roll House. Kev asks If there is NIL in the till, how can Victoria host NFL, NBA and the NHL but not the Commonwealth Games? Finey wonders whether the good people of Victoria are the victims of a massive rort. And Stephen J Peak ponders whether it's best to use Menulog, Uber Eats or Deliveroo!  The musical question - Is the 3XYchart from April 1976 as bad as...

Ruck 'n Roll The Musical. Not as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious as it sounds. Our musical adventure this week involves Fiddlers, Face masks, Felines and Frank 'n Furter. Fabulous!  On the sporting stage it's Spinners, Spurs and Superbowl. Ruck 'n Roll The Musical does contains bad singing, musical ineptness and occasional mentions of Andrew Lloyd Webber (but only in a derogatory manner).&...

The wait is over. Kev, Finey and Stephen J return for 2025 and the sparks are flying early. The shame of Aussie sports fans exposed, dick pics (not exposed) but discussed and the holiday adventures across the globe are in the spotlight. Musically, it's back to February 1985 for a serving of Madonna, Style Council and The Stranglers. Get in the queue and get ready its the first serve of a very long...

The final show of a very interesting year is here and it is a gift from the Gods of Podcasting. Three wise men were not enough so we enlisted the help of Ken Francis to place the angel on the top of the tree. Ho Ho Ho into some festive banter and yuletide hilarity plus the usual sprinkling of seasonal bulldust from Kev, Finey and Peaky. We will return in 2025 (T's& C's apply) Merry Christmas f...

Delays, hospital rounds and a bout of the dreaded lurgi have been the order of the week, but the medicos have managed to restore Kev to active duty and we're off and running!   This week, Peaky's legal skills may see him qualify for a secondary career in UN peacekeeping, Finey's doing the numbers on his body art project...and they're impressive on more counts than one...the Deathalyser serves up a...

Can't bat, can't bowl but can sledge and with that show mantra, Kev, Finey and S J Peak give their views on the major stories of the week (some stories may appear bigger than they actually are). The 3XY chart this week is just that - WEAK like the Australian batting line up and both cop their rightful whack. No prisoners here, everyone is fair game, from Marnus to Ding Dong, Smudge to Dazza it's s...

The AFL, the ABC and the FBI all come into the RnR viewfinder this week. The  national draft, the AFL fixture and Mike Tyson also have our attention. Ken Francis joins us for his thoughts on the Countdown 50 Year television special. And finally, what gems are unearthed from the 3XY Top 40 from December 1980? It is the usual vat of hot issues, implied scandal and outright fabrications that you have...

In a packed program this week ... Stephen J Peak proves he is in a league of his own in more ways than one as he remembers his days as part of a women's American football program which turned out to be more NFI than NFL (may contain implied nudity, juvenile themes, preposterous claims of originality and total BS). Finey has some provocative thoughts about the Aussie cricketers' coming series again...
