Fight For Your Right To Peaky! from Ruck 'n Roll Aug 4, 2026
Who are Toby Petts, Snitch Harvey, Lady Lou and Bijou Elijah and what do they have to do with this edition of Ruck 'n Roll? All this and more is revealed. But thank goodness there's more, including SJP's wrap up of the Commonwealth Games, which might be finished by the Indian Games. INTERMISSION. Now where were we? There's cricket, passionate kissing and snacks. Find out the shows the boys walked out on. You still there? It's game on for the tipping competition as first and last are up for grabs. Guaranteed the only podcast this week to include a Napoleon quote, an explanation of plastinating bodies, porn names and the sad tale of buying online gadgets. Ruck ON!!!!

A Juvenile Product of the Working Class. from Ruck 'n Roll Jul 28, 2026
The things you learn on a episode of Ruck 'n Roll are staggering, amazing and sad, but true. Hands on buzzers. Which of our fearless foursome revealed: he sang backing vocals on The Bruce Ruxton Rap? his first record purchase was Easy Street by Jeff Duff's Kush? his karaoke moment was House of the Rising Sun? he loved the music of and wanted to be just like Gary Glitter? Explains a lot, doesn't it? Pull back the curtain on another adults-only excursion into the murky waters of the gene pool from unnamed donors otherwise known as Ruck 'n Roll ...

Hello there Sailor. from Ruck 'n Roll Jul 21, 2026
They won't be silenced and if they were, there really would be nothing to see or hear here. There is much to discuss in the world of sport, entertainment and life in general and there is plenty to digest here. The World Cup and other football codes get a full examination, as do golf. athletics, darts and sugar free eating. Musically, it is one for the ages. Pick three songs you never want to hear again and three that will play forever. It is a hell of a task and the results will surprise. Grab the popcorn (sugar free please), a beverage (non alcoholic) and a can-do attitude and away we gooooooooooooooo...

Time You Straighten Right Out from Ruck 'n Roll Jul 14, 2026
Prepare to have your horizons broadened, your borders invaded, your portfolio investigated and maybe even your humerus tickled and your morals probed. These are men on a mission, most likely a mission impossible. Though if the mission was to mention Buster Bloodvessel, Dermott Brereton, the late Derryn Hinch and cannibalism all in the one show, then it's a surprisingly successful mission. Finey has selected Ska for discussion which is a giant pogo jump out of the panel's musical comfort zone. This tape will self destruct in about 1 hour 36 minutes and 55 seconds.

One Day I Met a Girl from Ruck 'n Roll Jul 7, 2026
A World Cup or two, a few Sherbets, some elite footy tipping, the odd failed prediction, an assortment of Daryl's and an incredible Indian banquet. All on the one podcast? There is only one way to find out. Ruck ON!!!

No Milk Today. from Ruck 'n Roll Jun 30, 2026
As the EOFY sales come to a halt, it is time to take stock of the sporting year. Our fearless, peerless (and some would say clueless) panellists give their three predictions for the rest of the year. Finey forsees the World Cup, Brownlow, AFL Premiers, Coleman Medal & Melbourne Cup results. Kev's prognostications are England's chances in the World Cup plus changes at the top of Aussie cricket and AFL HQ. Stephen J uses his crystal ball (stop sniggering please) to announce the 2026 AFL Premiers and the woman who will win Wimbledon and the US Open. New balls please. Ken is missing this week - he had a better offer. Hard to believe, we know, but seeing Colin Hay live at Elisabeth Murdoch Hall seemed more appealing. Full report next week.

The Rain, The Park and Other Things. from Ruck 'n Roll Jun 23, 2026
The sporting cup runneth over, with World Cup football, darts, Wimbledon, US Open golf, State of Origin Rugby League, netball finals and of course yet another round of our favourite - AFL. In the hotly contested Lenny's Fine Food Tipping Competition, Ken tipped the card in a form reversal to rival anything seen on a sporting field anywhere. This week there's plenty of sport to discuss and Finey even went to the theatre. Musically, it's families in the spotlight and you will be surprised to hear some of the names bandied about including The Hives, Greta Van Fleet, The DeFranco Family and Iggy and the Stooges. What the Family indeed. Thank your mother for the rabbits.

Mrs Slocombe’s Pussy from Ruck 'n Roll Jun 9, 2026
Welcome aboard your weekly flight to the Bermuda Triangle of podcasting otherwise known as Ruck 'n Roll (insert Vincent Price Thriller laugh but strictly no MJ-like groin touching). Captain Hillier speaking at the controls, along with First Officer Kenny 'Cockpit' Francis and your cabin crew Purser Peak and our Chef de Mission - launching Lenny's Fine Flying Food - Mark Fine. Our flight time is one hour but with the expected wind gusts from the Purser and the constant re-rooting of the flight path, delays to our final destination are expected. There will be turbulence, plus altitude and attitude variances, and please observe the 'no smirking' signs. For the comfort of your fellow passengers, please keep flatulence to a minimum, belching to an acceptable volume and strictly no nose picking. For your listening enjoyment the cabin crew will be with you soon to see if you would like headphones. Before you do that old joke remember who make up our cabin crew. Fasten your chastitiy belt and Ruck On!!!

It's a Little Bit F-Funny? from Ruck 'n Roll Jun 2, 2026
'As the chill of winter brings its icy countenance' is a nice turn of phrase and might be a good opening line for a Bureau of Meteorology staff meeting, but here it acts as an entree to the cold, hard reality of this episode's freshly generated word salad. It's festive, frivilous, fractious, forthright, fearless, feckless, flamboyant, fiery and flawed ... and even Kev has injected an F word to keep the show moving forward.

Performance Enhancing Mugs. from Ruck 'n Roll May 26, 2026
Is it vile or vial? Is it cheating or competing? Is it right or rort? A robust discussion about the Enhanced Games is just part of the fun and games in this episode. The robustness continues through football of all codes and modes and our intrepid panel drill down on everything from commentary to name changes and even some dental cover. The perils of the pre-recorded show strike as we discuss Brad Scott's coaching future. There's five minutes we will never get back. And to finish this episode we pay tribute to the great Neale Daniher. Play on.

Beam Me Up Scotty! from Ruck 'n Roll May 19, 2026
We go all out for the celebration of Scott Pendlebury's AFL games record. Every 433 seconds, one of our intrepid team will say something Scott related. Listen carefully because it maybe subtle, vague or even obtuse. Also in this Scott-stacked episode, a deep dive into World of Scott. We dare ask the questions that have puzzled for years: Is Scott a better surname or Christian name? Is Scot-free really free ? Was Scott of the Antarctic reckless? When did Australian Crawl lyrics become relevant or intelligible? And that smooth segue leads us into this: Instead of the usual dusty Top 40 chart or a musical autopsy on an artist's life's work, it's 'Scott Mania'. Who is the best Scott? Is it an actor, a singer, an explorer or maybe a golfer, writer or a Thunderbird? What?!!! Get on board the Scott Express, leaving now ...... Ruck ON!!!

Some Like it Hot from Ruck 'n Roll May 12, 2026
Robust, spirited, feisty, vigorous, unyielding, tempered, lively, compelling and intense are just some of the words you won't hear in this episode of Ruck 'n Roll, but several describe the nature of banter in this week's program. You might like to add inane, irrelevant, unprintable, insulting and nonsensical. No more words, time for some music. Our musical journey takes us to the Bermuda Triangle of Top 40 on board a 3XY chart from May of 1985. It has not aged well.

It's Not Unusual. from Ruck 'n Roll May 5, 2026
All hands are on deck for this episode as Stephen J Peak returns. It is a culinary explosion as Stephen shares his rather dubious degustation destination during his absence. Who knew dinner could be an occupation!? The SJP Experience isn't finished there, wait 'til you hear about his nocturnal balcony activities. The following episode is rated OMG and may contain Adult Themes with childish giggling, Nudity with screaming and vomiting, Language other than English and Foul and Horror - God you will experience the horror. You will also hear the occasional intelligent discussion about sport and musically, Sir Thomas Jones Woodward aka Tom Jones is the act under the spotlight. So all join hands and try to contact the living ... Ruck ON!!!

Accidently Kenny Street! from Ruck 'n Roll Apr 28, 2026
Mark Fine returns from Singapore and Stephen J Peak is a no show! Shock! Horror! Gasp! The gossip columnists would dine out on this development, but nothing to see here. No IVO's here, the only orders Mr. Peak is interested in come from Uber Eats. In this episode Anzac Day and the Anzac Appeal round get a robust 360 review. As does the AFL's ARC, Scott Pendlebury and Billy Field. That would be the first time that pair have ever been in the same sentence. Musically, as we use the term loosely, we head to 1992 and dive head first into the ARIA Top 40 for the year, which has Billy Ray Cyrus perched at number 1. Nuff said.

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean. from Ruck 'n Roll Apr 21, 2026
While Finey explores the culinary delights of Singapore, it's an old school three ring circus and there is no shortage of clowns, that's for sure. There are no safety nets used here. Roll on up under the Big Top (one of Stephen's recently laundered golf polos). Ken performs stunts, both cunning and not so. For Kev, it's the Tightrope and other Leon Russell songs. The grand finale is Stephen 'Danger is my middle name' Peak * and his amazing death defying fire eating and sword swallowing act. That is something to behold -especially as he washes it down with a seven course banquet from Fongs of Brighton - and in the show stopping finale finale with the wave of a sauce smeared chopstick, SJ peak becomes the elephant in the room. Ta Da! And to think the tattooed man missed all this. Musically, it is the purity of rediscovering a 4IP Top 40 chart from February 1968. No bells or whistles required.

People Hearing Without Listening. from Ruck 'n Roll Apr 14, 2026
It's Showtime. Get ready for a powerful pontification of the people's position pertaining to the pleasure provided when the participants perform their professional pursuits in pastures whose proximity precludes the provision of the populace. Gather round because unlike Adelaide in April, the heat is on, the seats are undercover and nothing floats in its own pea, or at least we hope not. Musically, we keep it simple - Simon and Garfunkel. And now here'sssssssssssssssssssssss Don or Kev!

I'm Gonna Be Like You Dad. from Ruck 'n Roll Apr 7, 2026
The world is prepared for the moon landing, petrol rationing, fluctuations in the share market and global political upheaval, but is anyone ready for Stephen J Peak and his juiced up laptop? His drive is hard, his discs no longer floppy and his storage has increased, but calling himself ‘The Gigabyte King’ might be a stretch. Ken ‘The Gig Pig’ Francis has been gadabouting across the CBD (ie: Chelsea, Brighton and Dingley) to see everyone from Jo Jo Zep to Brian Nankervis and The Moon Man. Life imitating Artemis? Finey is firing after an incredibly busy week at Lenny’s Fine Foods. He’s pumped full of vegetable lasagna and intelligent opinions. A first for this podcast. Kev’s in his musical element with a Top 40 Chart from 3XY dated April 18th, 1975. OMG it is OLD but GOD IT'S BAD - not ICK like, ACE like. You DIG?

By August, She was Mine. from Ruck 'n Roll Mar 31, 2026
It's like sitting around a campfire, toasting marshmallows and singing Kumbaya! Said no-one ever about this podcast. With Finey toiling away in the Lenny's Fine Food kitchen, the gleesome threesome roll on regardless and clueless. Stephen J (The Pompitous of Love) makes some bold football predictions that verge on comedic genius or madness. A team of AI monkeys is currently discussing possible surgical options. Ken shares his thoughts on Kylie being announced as the AFL's Grand Final entertainment plus the real story of where and when Locomotion became her entree to international pop stardom. Kev's as happy as Larry, Curly and Moe with the musical selection as this week it is The Hollies. Kevin Hillier, Stephen J Peak, Ken Francis.

Right People, Right Time, Wrong Location. from Ruck 'n Roll Mar 23, 2026
Disney had Fantasyland. The Ruck 'n Roll equivalent is Peakville, a land of endless buffets, unlimited litigation, pointless conversations and tuneless music. With that in mind, we forge on regardless to discuss a wide and varied array of human connection points like football, cricket and death, as well as some lighter subjects like death, cricket and football. Did someone say footy tripping? Did one, or even two panellists tip the card? Why are Finey and Kev smiling? Musically, it is a murky trek back to April 1st 1983 and the iconic 3XY Top 40 of the day and the sea was angry that day, my friend, no April foolin'. Kilimanjaro was rising, cannibals were being eaten and Terry from Minder was belting out bad guys and the odd show tune. Get your dancing shoes on and party like it's 1999 or the Summer of '69 or even December '63. Hit the play button and away we go..........

We All Shine On. from Ruck 'n Roll Mar 17, 2026
We are only two rounds into the AFL season, but the tension is palpable, the emotions are stirring, the loins are being girded and the goats are being scaped. Footy tipping really is serious business, isn't it? In unrelated news, the Patron Saint of Losing Thoroughbreds Stephen J Peak has had a life changing experience, so too our resident social butterfly Ken Francis, who has been gigging in Frankston and lived to tell the tale. Musically, our fab four dissect John Lennon's non Beatles music and it is a rollercoaster from Cold Turkey to Beautiful Boy with a dash of Instant Karma and Oh Yoko thrown in. It's an episode so chunky you could carve it.
