With Grav being a big let down and snoozing through a pre planned recording, Patricia stepped up to the plate to record a preview of this weekend's games Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoicesAv Ruck ‘n’ Roll

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 thought…

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 …

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 dea…

Grav and Patricia back again to discuss the return once again of Johnny Sexton, Welsh rugby's fifth region, being at odds with Gatland, lots of Darcys, negotiating family positions and an the wrong squad Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoicesAv Ruck ‘n’ Roll

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…

Grav and Patricia come together to talk harbouring fugitives, counting players, the greatest team ever, protecting 9s, "gooseys" and when don't you clap something you appreciate? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoicesAv Ruck ‘n’ Roll

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…

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 stud…

The new season is underway and after the second round, Grav and Patricia are here to talk about it, WXV, Chelsea Daggers, Strictly, peak Cheika, AI, Aperol and Leinestermas Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoicesAv Ruck ‘n’ Roll

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 dis…

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 f…

Grav and Patricia are joined by author and rugby fan James Stafford to discuss the new season, his book 'Rugby Rebels, Role Models and Giant Killers,' his new book 'Unbelievable Underdogs and Rebellious Role Models,' Welsh rugby, Chris Robshaw and Samuel L. Jackson. Get his books here; https://www.polarispublishing.com/book/an-illustrated-history-o…

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, Hi…

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 m…

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 al…

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. Kevin Hillier, Mark F…

Man the Lifeboats! Assume the Crash Position! Alert the Media! From the "You didn't see this one coming" file, Stephen J Peak joins Kev and Finey in the hottest of hotseats. 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. Some horse racing, horsing…

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 p…

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…

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 boo…

Grav and Patricia are joined by Jonny McGinty to discuss the rugby season just past, the things they aren't allowed to talk about, competing at the imaginary home Olympics, quizzes, long seasons and Patricia's continuing technical issues Learn more about your ad choices.

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 Deathal…

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 g…

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. Th…

Grav and Patricia once again battle their technology to talk misogynistic Masons, big fines, long distance cinemas, Taylor Swift and ask whether or not it's sexist. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoicesAv Ruck ‘n’ Roll

Brian is not your average Joe, as anyone who has seen him on stage already knows, but he might be an average Joe Biden impersonator. At least that would explain his performance this week. There is new ink for Finey and he shares his body mapping experience - warts and all. Kev brings the set list of the Rolling Stones' current tour for discussion a…

The reviews are in and Brian is a smash star of the Countdown Show according to RnR's resident reviewer and lounge lizard- Freakin' Kenny Francis. Hear all the gross, Sorry goss and backstage whispers. Adjust the volume and your expectations accordingly. Plus Finey and Kev share their precious Countdown memories (cause Brian can't remember what he …

Welcome to the Jungle warfare. Brian loads up both barrels for a Rambo like attack on Guns N' Roses in the music chat this week. Unlike Kev, Finey sees no romance in the AFL's father son rule and wants immediate changes. He'd also like changes in the current order in the Lenny's Fine Foods Footy Tipping competition. Who's on last is not amusing him…

The reason for Finey's absence from the last show is revealed, along with a few other things which may or may not add to the entertainment value of the show, but might explain his footy tips. Brian is unhappy about being snubbed again for the King's Birthday honours but Kev has a solution. Musically, it's all about Cold Chisel as they gear up for t…

Who said Brian Mannix can't get arrested? This show proves he can. Or could. Ken Francis is just the man to fill the shoes of one Mark Fine, who misses for that old AFL chestnut 'personal reasons'. It has nothing to do with his current footy tipping standing. On that, Brian has increased his lead and the size of his head accordingly. The chart chat…

Finey gives new meaning to the media expression 'back story.' In fact, it's the pits! Brian is feeing the heat as the pack closes in on his tenuous lead in Lenny's Fine Foods Footy Tipping competition. Kev proclaims the worst song EVER is in the 3XY Top 40 chart from June 2nd 1982, the centrepiece of Chart Chat for this week. All that and the usual…

Finally, Grav and Patricia return to the microphones to record a podcast and it's a great one. They talk wafers v biscuits, leopard print ties, rugby burn out, Ellie Kildunne (naturally), tasers and New Tredegar... and all whilst eating a Wispa Gold Learn more about your ad choices.

It's the wash up of Brian's return to the stage with Uncanny X-Men and it turns out he's not washed up. Jury due back soon. Finey is live from a secret romantic rendezvous and he's Nat alone. Ain't love grand! Kev has made a charge up the leaderboard in the Lenny's Fine Foods Footy Tipping competition. There's EPL, Wrexham, A-League talk and the Ch…

Wake Up Finey, Wake Up! Fresh from his radio daze, Finey shares his latest pillow talk. No rest for the rock star though, as Brian gears up for the Uncanny X-Men reunion gigs this weekend. Plus we premiere the newest song from those 80s legends 'We Love It". Let us know if you do. Kev's Chart Chat finds something worthy from June 1991, even though …

Find out what a seven year old Brian Mannix was listening to as the Chart Chat features the 3UZ Top Forty from July 7th, 1968 (think The Irish Rovers, Elvis, Hugo Montenegro and Gary Puckett) and Kevin reveals how Dr Geoffrey Edelsten fits into this Chart Chat. The Lenny's Fine Foods Footy Tipping competition is only a whisker away from a full Stew…

Fresh from recording some new X Men songs, Brian is cock a hoop with life and his own awesome performance in the studio and in the footy tipping. Spoiler Alert - Brian is still in the lead. Finey is cooked literally after a schnitzel frenzy at Lenny's Fine Foods for Passover. Kev's not overly impressed with the ARIA chart from May 1988 - it's an As…

The great Simon Madden brings football credibility, musical prowess and communication skills sadly lacking in the last 200 plus episodes of this show. Finey has his tattooed hands full with customers at Lenny's for the Passover celebrations, so one of the great rucks of all time steps in and shares some priceless football insights. The big question…

On the balance of probabilities this episode may be fit for human consumption, but then again it may need several AFL goal umpire reviews to determine if the content is in or out or has been touched. Brian is crowing, but not in Graham Kennedy style, because he is once again on top of Lenny's Fine Foods Tipping competition. Yes a week is a long tim…

The fisherman returns and he is in vintage Finey form from the start, especially regarding the footy and in particular Brian's beloved Bombers. But it isn't over there as the tattooed man then hooks into a song Kev likes in the Chart Chat from the 4BC Top 40 from April 1966 and then unloads on Elvis Presley, Brian's absolute favourite. All that plu…

A source close to Ruck 'n Roll HQ claims all is not what it appears among the three stars of the show. Our insider says the reported rifts and infighting are a sham and the three get on famously and enjoy doing the show. Finey is missing this week but not with a mystery hamstring injury, as suggested by some unnamed sources. He is fishing in the NT…

Did someone say Benny Hill? Yes Kev did, and he also mentions Yoko's legs. Find out why. Finey wants a new speed zone for the GP circuit and Brian needs a new show to replace MAFS, and judging by his tirade he won't be heading to the Celebrity Jungle. Lenny's Fine Foods Footy Tipping competition is settling down after Brian started like Ben Johnson…
