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...

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...

The fisherman returns and he is in vintage Finey form from the start, especially regarding the footy and in particular Brian's beloved Bombers.

All that plus the Lenny's Fine Foods Footy Tipping competition is heating up and the weekly check into The Deathalyser.   Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark...

A source close to Ruck 'n Roll HQ claims all is not what it appears among the three stars of the show.

Did someone say Benny Hill? Yes Kev did, and he also mentions Yoko's legs. Find out why. Finey wants a new speed zone for the GP circuit and Brian needs a new show to replace MAFS, and judging by his tirade he won't be heading to the Celebrity Jungle.  Lenny's Fine Foods Footy Tipping competition is settling down after Brian started like Ben Johnson in the 1988 Olympics. The Chart Chat is a beauty from March 1972 with everything from Led Zeppelin to The Moms and Dads.     Free hot cross...
