Ruck 'n Roll

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 continue with Robbie Williams, Snoop Dog, Adam Sandler and Lady Gaga but until then, enjoy our current emsemble.          Kevin Hillier, Stephen J Peak, Ken Francis, Mark Fine  All present and accounted for.  Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Christopher Gates  for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you are easily offended, highly contagious, lactose intolerent, ticklish, scared of heights, potty trained, union accreditied, date stamped or hard of hearing, do we have a show for you! 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 episode not for those sufferers of haemophobia, hadephobia or peakophobia, more commonly known as Bloody Hell Stephen J Peak syndrome.  Kevin Hillier, Stephen J Peak, Ken Francis, Mark Fine (homeward bound)  Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Christopher Gates  for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.         Fasten your seat belts, stow your tray tables, turn on your electrical devices and assume the crash position. The Ruck 'n' Roll play button is ON.   Kevin Hillier (on alert), Stephen J Peak (on medication), Ken Francis (on fire), Mark Fine (on assignment)  Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Christopher Gates  for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 in his gold-tipped shoes.  The Prosecution rests and laughs heartily as you will too.      Kevin Hillier, Stephen J Peak, Ken Francis, Mark Fine (rested)  Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Christopher Gates  for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

EOFY? BYO? AC/DC ✓ No mid year slump here and that is not the only thing missing from this show. Like the SCG, a visit from the Grass God would not hurt. 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 the latest production from its Arts Centre.     Before you say 'But wait, there's more' - There isn't.   Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak, Ken Francis Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy informati

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 it.  Replace your divots, observe the no smirking signs and may the farce be with you.  Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 30 plus with his slip, slop and slap for the purveyors of your Good Vibrations, Wild Honeys and Kokomos.  Boil the kettle, pat the dog and put another shrimp on the barbie - it's showtime!            Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. As always there is plenty of footy talk and hilarious observations of life in general, plus the winning lotto numbers for next Saturday, a cure for stupidity and a recipe for scones.           Kevin Hillier, Stephen J Peak, Ken Francis.

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 Clapton is under the RnR spotlight. From The Yardbirds to Cream and his solo success, how does the man they called The Guitar God rate? Lock up your dachshunds, padlock the biscuit tin and man the lifeboats!         Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak.

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. Screw open the Ben Ean Moselle, grab a packet of Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs and get ready to snort like Arnold Horshack. Let's get this party started.          Kevin Hillier, Ken Francis, Stephen J Peak, Mark Fine (returning soon) Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 umpires. We don't get serious too often but this week the deathalyser is cause for some deeper discussion. Musically, attention turns to one of the most celebrated rock bands of any generation- The Who. It's a  meaty, beaty, big and bouncy journey through their classics.                 Kevin Hillier, Stephen J Peak, Ken Francis  Mark Fine (back soon)  Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Ho

This show is more bat cave than conclave, more dope than Pope. Critics say Ruck 'n Roll is all the rage and they are right. Ken has been raging with ZZ Top and George Thorogood. Kev's raging about football commentary like patrons at a Tina Arena show and the jury is still deciding if Stephen J Peak was the victim or cause of four road rage incidents in one kilometre last Friday night as he scurried to his radio gig. Musically, it is another Peak inspired choice with U2 coming under the RnR microscope. One man's Bono is another man's Bonox as they say.      Kevin Hillier, Stephen J Peak, Ken Francis  Mark Fine (absent-had a better offer) Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It has come to the attention of the show's producers that certain members of the Ruck 'n Roll ensemble are NOT on drugs. How this was able to occur is the subject of an internal investigation and the findings will be made public - forthwith (whatever that means).    As for the actual program, Finey is off this week but is basking in the glory of his best week in the tipping. Ken has been to the Gilbert O'Sullivan show and loved it. Stephen J is ingesting hemp oil gummies which clearly are not performance enhancing and gives his two bobs' worth on clash jumpers and other things. Musically, Kev relives his 3XY days with a chart from May 6th 1983 which is equal parts funk, junk, pop and slop.                                                                                          &

We are a soldier down as we wrap up the Anzac weekend of sport. In true St. Kilda style, Finey has been subbed out and Ken Francis joins Kev and Stephen J. Timely, as Ken was front row at The Shrine during the dawn service and gives some very interesting insights and observations into what happened during the ceremony. Some robust discussion follows about the protests, the protagonists and the whole Anzac Day commemorations.  But wait, there's more with AFL, RSL, EPL and the usual helpings of OMG and FFS!  Musically, it is a homegrown menu with the best and worst of Aussie Crawl/James Reyne sliced and diced. There will be a few bones to pick over afterwards.  Kevin Hillier, Stephen J Peak, Ken Francis.

In an episode oozing with the goodness of a glass and a half of fresh, full cream bulldust and more pertinent than any political press conference, Ruck 'n Roll again exaggerates its own importance.     As the last morsels of Easter eggs and hot cross buns pass their lips, Kev, Finey and Stephen J regale all with their thoughts and views on a wide range of world topics. God knows what tripe fills the other 72 minutes of this 73 minute show!      Musically, is it a magical trip to May of 1968 to visit the good, the bad and the ugly of a pop packed 3UZ Top 40 chart.  Buckle up.   Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some say Stephen J Peak sits on his musical taste and many have, but he certainly does not sit quietly. Queen is the latest to incur his disapproval: "Not one good track" he said last week. We put it to the RnR musical test this week. Will it be Goo Goo, Gar Gar or something more Flash? The sports menu has plenty of footy of all codes, Rory in all his golfing glory and maybe some racing winners? Lather up your hot cross buns and sprinkle the fairy dust - or is it bull dust? Only one way to find out.        Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For daylight saving, we have wound the clocks back to April 1980, not just to accommodate Stephen J Peak's wardrobe and Kev's Dad jokes, but to relive a 3XY Top 40 chart that Finey says is 'The best ever'!  From Split Enz to Blondie, it is one for the ages. It is early doors in the footy season but SJP claims the Saints are finals certainties and seven teams are done and dusted for 2025, but he saves his most stupifying comment until the end of the show.     Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send lawyers, puns and money because the you know what does hit you know who. Follow the bouncing ball of this week's episode. Act 1:  A spirited, sensible and sharp discussion on the sports events of the week. Act 2:  A sincere acknowledgement of those who have passed in the last seven days on the Deathalyser. Intermission:  BYO snacks, drinks and mind altering substances Act 3:  A deep dive into the music of ELO. What could possible go wrong? Enter stage right Stephen J Peak !!! When we reach Xanadu, it is not 'an idyllic, exotic, or luxurious place,' as you will hear in graphic detail. Does contain strong language, complete stupidity and proof that the law-yer is an ass.   Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stephen J Peak should be basking in the glory of the mighty Saints and his own tipping form, but instead the burbling beak from the bayside sits uneasy in the chair amid the impending ramifications of a dodgy chicken souvlaki. Finey's fractured and factual fairy tale may have a happy ending but it is an eyewatering journey to that destination. Kev's lost in a musical tsunami of golden memories, diving into the 2SM Top 40 from April 1972. The good ship Ruck 'n Roll sets sail for another adventure. Will it be a Titanic, Minnow or a Pacific Princess voyage? Man the lifeboats!      Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Footy finally gets a proper start and the boys have plenty to say about suspensions, media beat ups, the pitiful performances of Port and the Blues and the abyss facing Saints supporters. Stephen J Peak is struggling to find a footy winner but maybe he'll find a four legged beast of burden to salute the judge. The unique Lenny's Fine Foods Footy Tipping comp gets into full swings and roundabouts, claiming its first casualty. Musically, it is a deep dive into The Rolling Stones to uncover the best and worst of Mick and Keef.     Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Follow us on Facebook...https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
