Ruck 'n Roll

In between keen, astute and educated observations about sport, life and the world, Ruck 'n Roll has never lost touch with its inner teenage boy. 

Juvenile, cheeky, naughty and in need of a good kick up the backside, this week our foolish foursome fondly remember their first car, a pivotal life milestone. 

Match the stars and cars:

• a green Datsun called The Frog,
• a Toyota Shaggin' Wagon,
• a gold Torana sports coupe&nbs...

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...

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?    

Explain...

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 ...

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...

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 crys...

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. 

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 exp...

'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.&nb...

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 f...

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 ? ...

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 3X...

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 ...

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...

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...

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 - Si...

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: Chel...

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.&nb...
