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 and not so. For Kev, it's the Tightrope and other Leon Russell songs. The grand finale is Stephen 'Danger is my middle name' Peak * and his amazing death defying fire eating and sword swallowing act. That is something to behold -especially as he washes it down with a seven course banquet from Fongs of Brighton - and in the show stopping finale finale with the wave of a sauce smeared chopstick, SJ peak becomes the elephant in the room. Ta Da! And to think the tattooed man missed all this.

Musically, it is the purity of rediscovering a 4IP Top 40 chart from February 1968. No bells or whistles required.

(*the J is Just for show)

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 Gigabyte King’ might be a stretch.

Ken ‘The Gig Pig’ Francis has been gadabouting across the CBD (ie: Chelsea, Brighton and Dingley) to see everyone from Jo Jo Zep to Brian Nankervis and The Moon Man. Life imitating Artemis?

Finey is firing after an incredibly busy week at Lenny’s Fine Foods. He’s pumped full of vegetable lasagna and intelligent opinions. A first for this podcast.

Kev’s in his musical element with a Top 40 Chart from 3XY dated April 18th, 1975. OMG it is OLD but GOD IT'S BAD - not ICK like, ACE like. You DIG?

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 is on, the seats are undercover and nothing floats in its own pea, or at least we hope not.

Musically, we keep it simple - Simon and Garfunkel.

And now here'sssssssssssssssssssssss Don or Kev!

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 predictions that verge on comedic genius or madness. A team of AI monkeys is currently discussing possible surgical options.

Ken shares his thoughts on Kylie being announced as the AFL's Grand Final entertainment plus the real story of where and when Locomotion became her entree to international pop stardom.

Kev's as happy as Larry, Curly and Moe with the musical selection as this week it is The Hollies.

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, as well as some lighter subjects like death, cricket and football.

Did someone say footy tripping? Did one, or even two panellists tip the card? Why are Finey and Kev smiling?

Musically, it is a murky trek back to April 1st 1983 and the iconic 3XY Top 40 of the day and the sea was angry that day, my friend, no April foolin'. Kilimanjaro was rising, cannibals were being eaten and Terry from Minder was belting out bad guys and the odd show tune.

Get your dancing shoes on and party like it's 1999 or the Summer of '69 or even December '63. Hit the play button and away we go..........

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 life changing experience, so too our resident social butterfly Ken Francis, who has been gigging in Frankston and lived to tell the tale.

Musically, our fab four dissect John Lennon's non Beatles music and it is a rollercoaster from Cold Turkey to Beautiful Boy with a dash of Instant Karma and Oh Yoko thrown in.

It's an episode so chunky you could carve it.

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 to make sense and it rarely does.

Musically, it is a trip back to January 1966 for the 3UZ Official Top 40 with The Carnival is Over by the Seekers in the Number One spot. What a treasure trove of memories. Will it be Good News Week? Lies? Or Que Sera Sera? Maybe The Sounds of Silence would be more appropriate!

For those about to Ruck, we salute you ...

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 opinions and a head full of you know what, the Ruck 'n Roll team will leave no turn unstoned to bring you a totally unique perspective on the 2026 football season. That's a cast iron promise from our iron carrying cast.

This week we also talk the music of Wings.

Bake a cake, buy a present and call the firies as Stephen J and Kev celebrate yet another birthday. By the way Peaky - that wish will never come true.

Ruck ON!!!
