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 Milano Cortina Games that might be hard to swallow.

Musically, we visit February 1982 and the new romantics are making an impression.

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 juggling sixteen a day! Who do you think that might be? Did someone say hypochondriac? Let's just say it is more Dachshundsen than Munchausen Syndrome. Wink Wnk!

The boys let fly on the state of the AFL's State of Origin concept and musically - one of the great Aussie pub bands Hoodoo Gurus step into the spotlight.

Alert the press, man the life boats and ladies and gentlemen, please make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position and all carry-on luggage is stowed underneath the seat in front of you or in the overhead bins. Let's Ruck 'n Roll !!!

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 talking heads, of various shapes, sizes and attractiveness, will pontificate, adjudicate and facillitate their views and opinions but never regurgitate, lacerate or educate.

Forgive us our trespasses and lead us not into temptation or any form of plagarism.

Whoops! Anyone know a good lawyer?

'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 faithful and ripe

It’s the last time you get to hear all this tripe.

That’s how we finish, we’ve run out of luck

The ending is obvious but who gives a Ruck ... ‘n Roll

'Til 2026

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

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 distinct lack of unprovoked animal attacks for any of the panel this week.

There is some F1 chat, cricket commentary analysis, golf talk and more.

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 the invaders' entry via the bathroom window, ransacking of rooms and a full-on confrontation with the victim before fleeing via a front window.

This is the harrowing tale of Stephen (not his full name) a suburban septuagenarian set upon by a gang (for dramatic purposes two is a gang) of ... pigeons!

And you thought the dachshund story was hilarious. Wait 'til you hear this one.

But wait, there is more - including some sensible sports talk. And in our food travels, we have reached the main course and feathers will fly and fry.

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 for the main attraction.

Our musical analysis is resting like a good eye fillet or a opening batsman with a dodgy back. Our attention turns to the second part of the RnR culinary expedition. The snacks have been cleared and it is time for the entrée. Let us start by affirming our stance on what an entrée actually is.

Entrée in modern French table service - and for much of the English-speaking world - is a dish served before the main course of a meal.

There are two other definitions that may be handy as you digest this epiosde.

Dégustation is the careful, appreciative tasting of various food, focusing on the gustatory system, the senses and high culinary art.

Disgusting is repulsive, revolting, offensive, repugnant, nauseating, abominable, and loathsome.

Bon appétit: Enjoy the show!!

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 reviewing AC/DC live at the G to the latest on the dachshund saga, there's Monster Trucks, Tetris champions, Don Lane's son and darts. What more could you ask for?

Sorry, no flower arranging or tips on stamp collecting. Maybe next time. Ruck ON!
