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 form which means only one thing. Your guess is as good as ours as to what that is.

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, Hinkley style. Plus there's NRL, EPL, Spring Racing and F1 racing. Musically, we continue our current theme with underrated Australian acts.        ...

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 might hear them on this show.   Musically we turn our attention to the over rated overseas musical stars and some tall poppies get their right...

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 all that red cordial? Meanwhile on the show, plenty of sport for our pontification (Thanks for the big word SJP). A moving tribute to a footy...

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 Fine, Stephen J Peak Subscribe in iTunes!https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotifyhttps://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on...

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 around and Logies talk, plus musically - it's funeral music.      Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Subscribe in...

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 pick winners. Don't fret, we have not forgotten the Logies. They do get a mention.  Musically, we discuss what movie and television stars cut it...

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 think. Plus a shallow dive into the magazines young Fine, Francis and Hillier were reading in their teens. What could possibly go wrong?       ...

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 boot scootin'.  Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Ken Francis Subscribe in iTunes!https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotifyhttps://spoti.fi/2DdgYad ...

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 Deathalyser.  But that's not all folks! The cartoon themes is an absolute nostalgic tsunami.   Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Ken Francis Subscribe in...

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 golf, rugby and baseball. Musically we turn our attention to advertising jingles and what a blast that turned out to be. Uncle Sam, Louie the Fly...

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. The best and worst memories of television music shows showcases some forgotten classics like GTK, Hit Scene, Uptight and Finey's cameo on Beatbox. ...

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 and despite a lack of interest from two of the panel, we continue the Lenny's Fine Foods Footy Tipping Fiasco.   Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark...

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 had for lunch).   There is footy tipping, Brian tripping, Lenny's dripping and various other words ending in ing except entertaining, of...

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 at all.      Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark Fine Subscribe in iTunes!https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotifyhttps://spoti.fi/2DdgYad ...

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 the big Five Oh tour.       Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark Fine Subscribe in iTunes!https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on...

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 shines on the winter of love - May 1967 featuring Engelbert, Frank & Nancy, Jimi and Lynne Randell.   Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Ken...

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 daily requirements of  gratuitous bad language, sexual references, drug themes and frequent liar points. Ruck ON!     Kevin Hillier, Brian...

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 Chart Chat is a glorious return to June 1974 - think Suzi Q, The Sting, Slade, Bowie, Thorpie and ZZ Top.  Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark...

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 Brian and Finey fully endorse The Horses as a good number twos.  And the less said about Lenny's Fine Foods Footy Tipping Competition, the...

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 Stewards Inquiry as Brian not only leads but in fact increased his margin this week.   There is also some singing, swearing and...

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 Astley overload on the Chart Chat. Park your sensibilities, engage your sense of humour and strap yourself in for another verbal injection of real...

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 though is -   Can Brian keep it up? Not the first time that question has been asked, but this time it refers to the his footy tips. Chart Chat...

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 time in football. Musically we head to 1999 and talk New Radicals, Chris Isaak and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers-rare gems in a field of...
