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 come to expect. Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Subscribe in

A League of Their Own.

2024/11/12

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 against the Indians and it's not good for Pat's boys. Kev's excited about the return of Yellowstone and not

The one day of the year we are all racing experts. So match our Ruck 'n Roll panellists with the following classic racing expressions. Who has a head like a beaten favourite? Who looks like he has been in a good paddock? And who needs a few reminders with the persuader to keep his mind on the task at hand? Seems there are no wrong answers here and hopefully nothing but winners in our Cup preview episode.

Our Cup Runneth Over

It is the podcast that stops a nation! Would you believe it is the podcast that stops a small contingent of unnamed stars of the constellation from self combustion? Moving on to this week's show, where intelligent discourse and razor sharp repartee is found in abundance between trite, flippant comments about horse racing, cricket, football, the dearly departed and over rated songs from international superstars. Listen responsibly, chances are you are about to lose your tenuous grip on reality.

A Revelation, A Revolution and A Revitalization.

From the RnR concerned citizen file - Brightonian Stephen J Peak reports the locals are revolting! Funnily, the locals say the same thing about him. Finey chalks up tatt #117 and Dad joke #666. Kev has the latest on the AFL, the EPL, T20 and the Cox Plate. Musically, it is under-rated international songs and the boys unearth some unappreciated gems from The Guess Who, Todd Rundgren, The Small Faces and more. Don't miss Finey's exclusive revelation regarding his radio future. Kevin Hillier, Mark

Guess who had a hearing, a small win and is feeling pretty good about himself? Guess again, because it is not the show's resident counsel, but in fact the illustrated man has had words, not pictures, and tells the tale. We have found more words about the AFL Meat Market, the AFLW problem, the Spring Racing Carnival and of course the dearly departed in The Deathalyser. Musically it is underrated Aussie songs and some rippers get unearthed to enjoy their deserved moment in the sunshine. You may hear

The feathers fly in this episode. Finey is tweeting? But about real birds, not a social media platform, and his Magpies aren't named Daicos. We have gone from footy season to swooping season but still find time for a few thoughts on the Rugby League Grand Final. Stephen J Peak and Kev take time out from their busy schedule of plover swoops and studying the Spring Racing Carnival form to ask and answer some questions re the ridiculous world of footy contracts. Musically, it is tall poppy time with

The Happy Ending Episode

We say farewell to the AFL season with a full autopsy on the red carpet, the fashion, the backstabbing. Sorry, that was the pre-show meeting, or maybe it was the Brownlow? Stephen J Peak gives his summation of the Katy Perry performance, Finey knows where the Swans went wrong and Kev covers the medal presentation. There is an NRL Grand Final to discuss as well as Spring Racing, the Deathalyser and musically, it's the under rated overseas acts' turn for some much deserved attention. Kevin

It is the premiership hangover before the actual premiership that’s how clever we are. Yes, you will get a thumping headache, slight to moderate nausea, some internal turbulence, dizziness may occur and there will be unexplained periods of gibberish. Just like any other show we’ve done really. Finey, Stephen J Peak and Kev are at the top of their form which means only one thing. Your guess is as good as ours as to what that is.

Finey has done his knee! Actually it was his tattooist, as another area of the Fine anatomy gets fully inked. Is it a Jack Ginnivan tribute? Stephen J Peak confirms he does his best work behind the scenes and interested parties are trying to find where those scenes might be, as are many of his clients. Kev gives the AFL finals a full going over, Hinkley style. Plus there's NRL, EPL, Spring Racing and F1 racing. Musically, we continue our current theme with underrated Australian acts.

The Cream Rises.

Footy finals and the cream rises to the top unless of course you are Carlton or the Bulldogs (insert Kev's sad face). The freshly inked (again) Finey has his say on those remaining in the chase plus Peaky has his four cent worth, he is a lawyer after all. Words like precocious, obliteration, sphincter and tumultuous are good words and one day you might hear them on this show. Musically we turn our attention to the over rated overseas musical stars and some tall poppies get their right wack

After a wind delay (surprisingly not caused by Stephen J Peak) and some technical set backs this episode of Ruck n’ Roll is finally here, but Finey isn’t. The delectable delights of Lenny’s Fine Foods have not stolen him from our presence, in fact it was a school reunion. Those former grade three’s can be very persuasive, and who could say no to all that red cordial? Meanwhile on the show, plenty of sport for our pontification (Thanks for the big word SJP).

We are at the pointy end of the football season so we do a forensic deep dive into the abyss of the AFL teams that did not make it into September. It may get messy. Musically we dip our lids to the great Australian songwriters Vanda and Young, Terry Britten, Don Walker, Ross Wilson, Johnny Young, Brian Cadd and many many more.

What could possibly go wrong? Listen and find out. There is plenty of footy chat and tips heading into the business end of the seasons for all codes.

We bid au revoir to the Paris games and share our most memorable moments. In 'breaking' news, Finey proclaims it won't be back. Ken's got right into rock climbing and Kev thinks the actual medals look like something out of the super hero bag at the Melbourne Show. As footy heads to the business end of the season, nothing changes in our ability to pick winners. Don't fret, we have not forgotten the Logies. They do get a mention. Musically, we discuss what movie and television stars cut it as

It's both sold, sold, sold and gold, gold, gold this week as Finey channel surfs across the Paris games and the Auctioneering World Championships, but wait, there's more ... including cubing, piecing and OmegaBall. Musically, it's all about those good and bad performances for major sporting events and yes Meatloaf is mentioned but not how you might think. Plus a shallow dive into the magazines young Fine, Francis and Hillier were reading in their teens. What could possibly go wrong? Kevin

Great Scott! While this is our 300th, we are 100 shy of a Pendlebury. We are just taking it one milestone at a time. In this record breaking, earth shattering, mind blowing and bum numbing episode, you will hear about football, ice hockey, Formula One racing, television themes, adult themes and coarse language, but there is no nudity, Wordle or boot scootin'.

Faster. Higher. Stronger! Than what? No Olympic records here, but see who the boys have on the podium when it comes to cartoon themes, this week's musical theme. Plenty of sport to discuss including some of the Parisienne performances, plus golf, F1, darts hurling, NRL and of course AFL. Lenny's Fine Food Footy Tipping continues as does the Deathalyser.

All the food groups get ticked this week, including politicks? Brian blows his horn - or is that his TRUMPet? - on the latest from the US elections. Is it game over in the footy tipping or will there be a late surge or a sneaky Fine-Hillier manoeuvre that will turn the tables? There is a big serving of sport from AFL to Euros to cricket plus some golf, rugby and baseball. Musically we turn our attention to advertising jingles and what a blast that turned out to be.

Brian is as shaky as the Giants' spot in the AFL top 8, but as Toby Green as he might feel, he soldiered on, not to mention he is still leading the Lenny's Fine Food Footy Tipping. But let's not mention that. Finey is no shrinking violet, so he is pretty peeved at the downsizing of many of our favourite food items, from ice creams to hamburgers. The best and worst memories of television music shows showcases some forgotten classics like GTK, Hit Scene, Uptight and Finey's cameo on Beatbox. And to
