Some very painful school memories kick off this episode, with the sting of the cane, the strap and the long wooden ruler echoing in the stories from four very naughty boys. But wait, there's more where that came from as discussion turns to the big news of the week: the Bardot reunion. On a more serious note, sports of all persuasions get the once over, including footy, T20 World Cup, the Moto GP, EPL and the Polish darts. On a musical note, as we use that term dangerously in this case, the chart for

If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, then one member of the R 'n R ensemble is a weapon of mass destruction and he proves it beyond reasonable doubt when talk turns to the AFL State of Origin clash. It's self destruction at the T20 World Cup as the Aussies do a Bradbury - something they don't need at the Winter Olympics, where gold is easier to find than condoms. Speaking of that, romance is in the air as the R 'n R Love God reflects on his Valentine's Day activites. Musically, we take a

It's Trouble with a capital T and yes, it does include the 1982 Lindsay Buckingham hit, but that's not all folks. Also on the menu is a Superbowl serving of Bad Bunny, a feast of T20 World Cup action, a slice or two of the AFL's financial pie and the Chef's Surprise is a little something from the Milano Cortina Games that might be hard to swallow. Musically, we visit February 1982 and the new romantics are making an impression. Kevin Hillier, Stephen J Peak, Ken Francis, Mark Fine Follow us on

Find out in this illuminating, eventful and (as always) classy episode. Noah had enough trouble with two tablets. We have a panellist juggling sixteen a day! Who do you think that might be?

No bells, whistles, marching bands or fireworks are needed to herald the return of the fab four for a new year of chaos, chatter, blather and whack. Bring on the tennis, cricket, Olympics and a World Cup or two, not to mention footy of all codes. Whether based on fact or fiction, this quartet of talking heads, of various shapes, sizes and attractiveness, will pontificate, adjudicate and facillitate their views and opinions but never regurgitate, lacerate or educate.

As 2025 winds down, our fab four find plenty to get wound up about, including our favourite summer pastimes - cricket and eating sweets. The Poms might have served up another load of tripe but the RnR dessert trolley is laden with everything from fairy bread to Bombe Alaska. Thankfully, a distinct lack of unprovoked animal attacks for any of the panel this week. There is some F1 chat, cricket commentary analysis, golf talk and more.

The Kangaroos may have slayed the AFLW Lions, cricketers with pink balls are poised to stampede the Gabba but the Ruck 'n Roll headline this week is the home invasion you won't read about in the papers or hear about on the nightly news. We have the EXCLUSIVE inside story with graphic details of the invaders' entry via the bathroom window, ransacking of rooms and a full-on confrontation with the victim before fleeing via a front window. This is the harrowing tale of Stephen (not his full name) a

As the name of the show suggests, football is always in our thoughts and the AFL Draft and AFLW Grand Final are up for discussion, dissection and derision, as is Perth's two day hit anf giggle fest, or - as they called it - the First Ashes Test. Sprinkle in some EPL, F1 and golf then get ready for the main attraction. Our musical analysis is resting like a good eye fillet or a opening batsman with a dodgy back.

Google Maps tried, NASA satellites gave it a shot, sniffer dogs had no hope. This episode travels down rabbit holes, along bumpy, pothole-filled roads and sails unchartered and unfriendly waters before disembarking to a sweet and savoury sideshow of snacks. So just your average show really! From reviewing AC/DC live at the G to the latest on the dachshund saga, there's Monster Trucks, Tetris champions, Don Lane's son and darts.

Marlin Perkins, Robert Irwin and Tarzan would cower if they tackled the wilds of our intrepid Ruck 'n Roll explorers. Finey returns from his fishing expedition in the Territory with tails and tales - fishy and true. Ken braved the Collingwood natives to catch his current favourite band Hot Machine in action. Stephen J Peak laughed in the face of potential dachshund retribution though he did it slowly as his knees are as wonky as his racing tips. Kev has landed the musical Delorean on May 31st, 1974

It has taken 360 episodes for there to be no words capable of describing the contents of the weekly episode. This keyboard could not possibly convey the drama, absurdity and hilarity that you are about to hear. Trained counsellors, hostage negotiators, animal welfare workers and trauma specialists have all thrown their hands up in despair. These are unprecedented times ... but you have been warned.

In a strange twist that Alanis Morissette may call Ironic, Stephen J Peak is a late scratching from the show this week. The vet is attending. Meanwhile back at the show, it really is a colourful palette of topics and talking points, including drooling over potato latkes, fuming over Ange's sacking and honouring Ace's passing. Don't miss the finale of Good Cop Bad Cop as the boys mull over the best and worst of overseas crime fighters with a few surprises and some fair dinkum, unbelievable choices

What a week for this little ensemble. Finey has been creating spicy Moroccan delights at Lenny's. Ken has been getting down and dirty with The Angels and The Saints. Kev is still gobsmacked by the return of his gold album and a recent interview with Nellie from Little House on the Prairie and what about Stephen J Peak? The man who can pump up his own tyres like there is no tomorrow cannot, has not and will never get his hands dirty changing one. 'That's what the RACV is for' As you recover from that

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.

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 becomes ... well, you get the drift.

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.

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 coming up and AFL Origin, not all the other tripe.

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. Prick up your ears, alert the censors and keep left unless overtaking. And now on with the show.
