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. Keep your hands off your clocks, you are in the Ruck 'n Roll time zone - no

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 dance floor is humming and the mirror ball is spinning as the delights of the Smooth internet radio Top 40 dance

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 coming up and AFL Origin, not all the other tripe. Over in Controversy Corner, Finey has plenty to say about

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.

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 disco era and movies where the main star eats the other cast members.

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 footy talk heading into the finals, Finey's got new ink, Ken busts out for Footloose and Kev remembers the

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 on week one of the AFLW. Kev is in grave danger of finishing last in the footy tipping and with one round to

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.

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 plenty of footy talk, darts, very slow horses racing and many other topics too humorous to mention. Negotiations

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 this week's chart came out, as we go back to September 1964 when The Beatles were just beginnng. It's an

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 words, three blokes shooting the breeze.

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 3XY, Ken was only going to 20 gigs a week and the Peakcock tells us he was gliding across dance floors

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 looks like a Scrabble rack or a Wordle puzzle. It is AC/DC getting the RnR musical autopsy. Our resident social butterfly Ken Francis has been out and about hitting the bright lights of Frankston and reviews

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 Stephen J run their probe over sport, life, death and the music of June 1965. It's a dirty job but someone has to do

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 scour the catalogue of Beach Boys classics to pay homage to the late Brian Wilson. Warning: Finey has gone

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 life. Kev's Not happy Jan with Spurs sacking Ange.

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 darts Stephen J uses to come up with his weekly equine selections. More details soon. Musically, Eric

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 Origin and the AFL's cry babies.

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 lose again! In a startling development, Peaky does have a great idea to take some pressure of the AFL
