Ruck 'n Roll

This show is more bat cave than conclave, more dope than Pope. Critics say Ruck 'n Roll is all the rage and they are right. Ken has been raging with ZZ Top and George Thorogood. Kev's raging about football commentary like patrons at a Tina Arena show and the jury is still deciding if Stephen J Peak was the victim or cause of four road rage incidents in one kilometre last Friday night as he scurried to his radio gig.

Musically, it is another Peak inspired choice with U2 coming under the RnR microscope. One man's Bono is another man's Bonox as they say.

It has come to the attention of the show's producers that certain members of the Ruck 'n Roll ensemble are NOT on drugs. How this was able to occur is the subject of an internal investigation and the findings will be made public - forthwith (whatever that means).   

As for the actual program, Finey is off this week but is basking in the glory of his best week in the tipping. Ken has been to the Gilbert O'Sullivan show and loved it. Stephen J is ingesting hemp oil gummies which clearly are not performance enhancing and gives his two bobs' worth on clash jumpers and other things. Musically, Kev relives his 3XY days with a chart from May 6th 1983 which is equal parts funk, junk, pop and slop.

We are a soldier down as we wrap up the Anzac weekend of sport. In true St. Kilda style, Finey has been subbed out and Ken Francis joins Kev and Stephen J. Timely, as Ken was front row at The Shrine during the dawn service and gives some very interesting insights and observations into what happened during the ceremony. Some robust discussion follows about the protests, the protagonists and the whole Anzac Day commemorations. 

But wait, there's more with AFL, RSL, EPL and the usual helpings of OMG and FFS! 

Musically, it is a homegrown menu with the best and worst of Aussie Crawl/James Reyne sliced and diced. There will be a few bones to pick over afterwards.

In an episode oozing with the goodness of a glass and a half of fresh, full cream bulldust and more pertinent than any political press conference, Ruck 'n Roll again exaggerates its own importance.    

As the last morsels of Easter eggs and hot cross buns pass their lips, Kev, Finey and Stephen J regale all with their thoughts and views on a wide range of world topics. God knows what tripe fills the other 72 minutes of this 73 minute show!     

Musically, is it a magical trip to May of 1968 to visit the good, the bad and the ugly of a pop packed 3UZ Top 40 chart. 

Buckle up.

Some say Stephen J Peak sits on his musical taste and many have, but he certainly does not sit quietly. Queen is the latest to incur his disapproval: "Not one good track" he said last week. We put it to the RnR musical test this week. Will it be Goo Goo, Gar Gar or something more Flash?

The sports menu has plenty of footy of all codes, Rory in all his golfing glory and maybe some racing winners?

Lather up your hot cross buns and sprinkle the fairy dust - or is it bull dust? Only one way to find out.

For daylight saving, we have wound the clocks back to April 1980, not just to accommodate Stephen J Peak's wardrobe and Kev's Dad jokes, but to relive a 3XY Top 40 chart that Finey says is 'The best ever'!  From Split Enz to Blondie, it is one for the ages.

It is early doors in the footy season but SJP claims the Saints are finals certainties and seven teams are done and dusted for 2025, but he saves his most stupifying comment until the end of the show.

Send lawyers, puns and money because the you know what does hit you know who. Follow the bouncing ball of this week's episode.

Act 1:  A spirited, sensible and sharp discussion on the sports events of the week.

Act 2:  A sincere acknowledgement of those who have passed in the last seven days on the Deathalyser.

Intermission:  BYO snacks, drinks and mind altering substances

Act 3:  A deep dive into the music of ELO. What could possible go wrong? Enter stage right Stephen J Peak !!! When we reach Xanadu, it is not 'an idyllic, exotic, or luxurious place,' as you will hear in graphic detail. Does contain strong language, complete stupidity and proof that the law-yer is an ass.

Stephen J Peak should be basking in the glory of the mighty Saints and his own tipping form, but instead the burbling beak from the bayside sits uneasy in the chair amid the impending ramifications of a dodgy chicken souvlaki. Finey's fractured and factual fairy tale may have a happy ending but it is an eyewatering journey to that destination. Kev's lost in a musical tsunami of golden memories, diving into the 2SM Top 40 from April 1972. The good ship Ruck 'n Roll sets sail for another adventure. Will it be a Titanic, Minnow or a Pacific Princess voyage? Man the lifeboats!

Footy finally gets a proper start and the boys have plenty to say about suspensions, media beat ups, the pitiful performances of Port and the Blues and the abyss facing Saints supporters. Stephen J Peak is struggling to find a footy winner but maybe he'll find a four legged beast of burden to salute the judge.

The unique Lenny's Fine Foods Footy Tipping comp gets into full swings and roundabouts, claiming its first casualty. Musically, it is a deep dive into The Rolling Stones to uncover the best and worst of Mick and Keef.

Let the games begin and they shall, as Kev, Finey and Stephen J roll out their thoughts on the AFL season opening, the first round of real AFL action, the mighty Melbourne Storm's insane first game plus darts, racing, squid wrestling and India's cricket win. One of those topics is not included? Bugger the Indians! 

Musically, we dial into the 4BC Top 40 chart from April 9th 1969 and it isn't all hippie beads, caftans and pot smoking pop. From the Are you there Tommy file there's Tommy James, Tommy Roe and Tommy Rot as well as some tomless classics.
