Spring Fever's got a Hold.
The dreaded post-gig lurgy has floored Ken, who is missing this week. The fact he spent a lot of time with SJP last week is pure coincidence. Said no-one. That aside, there is lots to talk about this week, including South Melbourne’s amazing Australia Cup victory, AFL trades, cricket in South...
-
Comin' in Hot.
Like a caged beast in a David Attenborough doco, Stephen J Peak has again been released into the wild, or as it is better known in environmental and ecological circles - Fitzroy. The Evelyn Hotel to be precise, where a special breed of female homosapiens known as Hot Machine were introducing new,...
-
Where the Wild Roses Don't Grow
The 2026 AFL Grand Final unpacked from go to woe! We have it all covered - Kylie flying, Dockers crying, Melbourne weather, Kylie's leather, Wharfie Time blue, Kylie's hairdo. What more could you ask for? It's a rhetorical question, move on. It's Showtime (Bertie Beetle bag not included) Kevin...
-
We're all Someone's Son.
It's the three Fs everyone is talking about - Football, Farnham and Fashion - and you won't find a better podcast to provide you with the worldly and wordy wrap up of all the F words. As you know, we know all the F words. Finey dials in from downtown Daylesford to give his Grand Final thoughts…

The Sun that makes the Day.
If you thought the NFL lit up the City of Melbourne, and it did, wait 'til you hear about the other invasion of the CBD from the NFI. If you don't know what that stands for, then you are obviously a card carrying NFI member. The musical flood gates opened as our intrepid legal beagle braved the...
-
Four Strong Winds
Standby for shocks and surprises as the faint waft of warmer weather dents the bozone layer and a sliver of 2026 shines on proceedings, delivering a rare foray into music made since the turn of the century. Ken reviews Hot Machine's latest gig and previews their debut album. But wait, there's…

Bloody Well Right !
Finals, Fathers, Football, Food and several other F words get quite a workout this week, but it is the E words that bring the self-appointed resident show wordsmith to his knees. Spoiler alert: the E words may or may not include emasculated, emaciated, erection, eviscerated, easy, ego or…

Listen Like Thieves.
In a packed podcast, we review all the AFL sides that didn't make the top ten. There's also cricket, EPL, AFLW and the Deathalyser. Even non-working new speakers cannot silence the legal eagle when he takes flight. When it comes to discussions regarding the Bombers, Stephen J is 'hird' loud and...
-
Hey, Street Sweeper, Clear My Way.
Crown King Fine the Tipping Guru. As the home and away season comes to a close, Finey, like the AFL Dockers, has top spot under lock and key. Kev, like the AFL Swans, is in second spot and that is where the similarity ends. The battle for the all important and less embarrassing third spot is on...
-
First Set of Wheels.
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...
-
Fight For Your Right To Peaky!
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....
-
A Juvenile Product of the Working Class.
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…
more -
Hello there Sailor.
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,...
-
Time You Straighten Right Out
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...

One Day I Met a Girl
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!!! Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak, Ken Francis Producer - Steve Visscher…
more -
No Milk Today.
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...
-
The Rain, The Park and Other Things.
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…

Mrs Slocombe’s Pussy
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…

It's a Little Bit F-Funny?
'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,...
-
Performance Enhancing Mugs.
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...
-
Beam Me Up Scotty!
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...
-
Some Like it Hot
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...
-
It's Not Unusual.
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...
-
Accidently Kenny Street!
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...
-
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
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…
more -
People Hearing Without Listening.
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...
-
I'm Gonna Be Like You Dad.
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...
-
By August, She was Mine.
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...
-
Right People, Right Time, Wrong Location.
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…
more -
We All Shine On.
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...
-
Have You Heard The News?
Finey had a better offer, so it is the gleesome threesome discussing the events of the week. And what a week, with footy, Formula One and cricket providing plenty to slice and dice. Despite that, SJP gets in a tizz over an AFL player's jewellery and players not wearing gloves. No-one said it had…
more -
I Hope You're Having Fun.
After a summer of twirling our seventies cricketing moustaches and enthusiastically rubbing a red ball in our groin area, it's time to get real. Time to get our rucks in a row, our behinds in gear and our floggers in hand. ..Footy is Back, Baby! Armed with a mouthful of words, a fistful of…
more -
Yes, Mr. Peters
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...
-
Where the Clear Wind Blows.
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...
-
Vikings shouldn't mix their work and play.
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...
-
February Made Me Shiver.
If the expression 'Worming his way into your affections' was to be used in relation to any member of the R 'n R team, who would you think it would apply to? Find out in this illuminating, eventful and (as always) classy episode. Noah had enough trouble with two tablets. We have a panellist…

Hello be thy name.
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...

Pa Rum Pum Pum Pum - The Little Drama Boys.
'Tis the show before Christmas, the last for the year The rundown resembles something you’d get from Ikea Kevin and Ken will supply lots of banter And Peaky’s built to be our resident Santa The boys are full of cheek and good cheer And plan a big finish to a bloody good year So come all ye…

Sweets for My Sweets
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…

On the First Day of Christmas we give to you Two Pigeons and One Goose.
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…

Life is a Minestrone
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…
more -
All in the Name of Liberty.
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...
-
The Pompatus of Love
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…
more -
The Dachshund Episode.
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…
more -
Get Ready To Match The Stars !
John, Paul, George and Ringo; Abraham, Martin and John; Coles and Garrard. The list goes on but it has nothing to do with this show or anything else to be honest. On the show this week - a word salad of immense intellectual importance to which Mensa, Densa and several other of Santa's reindeers...
-
Let's Be Careful Out There.
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…
more -
Things Were Different Then.
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…
more -
Do the Watusi !
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...
-
Walk this Way
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....
-
Burn, Baby, Burn!
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...
