  • Things Were Different Then.
    Oct 13 2025

    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 what about Stephen J Peak?

    The man who can pump up his own tyres like there is no tomorrow cannot, has not and will never get his hands dirty changing one. 'That's what the RACV is for'

    As you recover from that revelation, be prepared for much worse as our resident embarrister recalls a snow trip that could be an epiosde of The Golden Bachelor.

    This week we turn our attention to the best and worst Aussie cop and crime shows on television. Why? Because we can and it's less stressful than watching it live in our shopping centres and streets. From Homicide to Underbelly with some Blue Heelers and Water Rats thrown in, this really is Good Cop, Bad Cop.

  • Do the Watusi !
    Oct 7 2025

    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 day living. If this is reading like a thinly disguised attempt to hide the lack of meaningful content in this week's show, then utopia has been reached. Proceed with caution and as the title suggests - Do the Watusi.

  • Walk this Way
    Sep 30 2025

    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.

    Musically, the trip to 1986 brings little joy as pop becomes poop, rap becomes crap and a hit becomes ... well, you get the drift.

    Keep your hands off your clocks, you are in the Ruck 'n Roll time zone - no curtains will fade, guaranteed.

  • Burn, Baby, Burn!
    Sep 23 2025

    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 backing the Dogg for a good show at the MCG on Saturday but he is on the Cats.

    Musically, the dance floor is humming and the mirror ball is spinning as the delights of the Smooth internet radio Top 40 dance tunes are unleashed. What a treasure trove of aural offerings including The Weather Girls, The Trammps, Abba, Sister Sledge, Baccara, Boney M, Gloria Gaynor, Donna Summer and KC. Grab a bucket as that lot get sorted.

  • Let's Look for the Purple Banana.
    Sep 16 2025

    Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the unholy wows and kapows of Stephen J Peak as he ventures into that sacred of all Ruck 'n Roll commitments - a live gig on a school night with Saint Ken of Francis. Does it end in tears, beers or the local Chinese takeaway?

    The footy finals means plenty of meaningful, manly type talk about really important football stuff like the games coming up and AFL Origin, not all the other tripe.

    Over in Controversy Corner, Finey has plenty to say about the demise of the Dapto Dogs and Ken is livid about one of the live acts he saw last week (no small children or animals are injured in the making of this program.)

    Musically, it is another shit sorry shot of the eighties from the vaults of the 3XY Top 40 from September 1984. Big Brother was watching but did he have the sound on?

  • Long Legs, Short Skirts with No Tights!
    Sep 9 2025

    The show that knows no boundaries. The show that serves no masters. The show that ploughs its own furrow. The show that isn't frightened to say what no one else is thinking! This is that show and then some.

    The pearls of wisdom come thick and fast from the learned lips of the regular cast. You'll never know from where they pluck it but they can't be far from that girl in Nantucket.

    Prick up your ears, alert the censors and keep left unless overtaking.

    And now on with the show.

  • The Words Don't Get in the Way.
    Sep 2 2025

    The combination of Spring in the air, footy finals and a musical trip back to the hippy era brings a heightened, enlightened and at times frightened performance from members of the ensemble.

    The raft of topics is as always a cacophony of differing views on the problems of the world! As long as those problems only concern old blokes kicking a footy, plus-sized men go-go dancing through the disco era and movies where the main star eats the other cast members.

    In a rare moment of brillance and clarity (for the show, not the man), Finey delivers a fascinating AFL finals connection.

    And in a not-so-rare moment of juvenile delinquency, Kev introduces the Fat Black Pussycat in South Yarra.

  • It's a Prisoner Island.
    Aug 26 2025

    The footy tipping crown sits comfortably on the head of Finey - an easy victor in the finish. The final tip for the season confirmed S J Peak's stranglehold on the wooden spoon and -even when offered the chance to not finish last - he declined. Now you know the thinking, or lack thereof, behind his racing selections. Chances are, you have already lost ... your mind. He has.

    There is lots of footy talk heading into the finals, Finey's got new ink, Ken busts out for Footloose and Kev remembers the good old days of AM radio in the eighties as we musically head back to September 1982.
