Not the threesome you were expecting? That makes all of us. Another fun filled romp through the thoughts and observations of podcast's version of chef's surprise. It's football, meat pie floaters, pedicures and prize galahs. 

The boys share their top five spots in Australia, revealing some interesting places and even more interesting stories behind the choices in a journey from the top of this sunburnt country to the bottom.

Ruck 'n Roll

What do you get when World of Sport meets Countdown. You get Ruck 'n Roll.  You get longtime radio DJ Kevin Hillier, sports nut and broadcaster Mark Fine, music nut and broadcaster Ken Francis plus lawyer and raconteur Stephen J Peak and you have an unusual mix. But the four of them have many things in common - their love of sport, their love of music and their love of chatting about that and more. Put them in a studio together and the mix is electric.

Gough, Finey & Ita!

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 ...

Have You Heard The News?

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!!!

I Hope You're Having Fun. 

Some very painful school memories kick off this episode, with the sting of the cane, the strap and the long wooden ruler echoing in the stories from four very naughty boys. But wait, there's more where that came from as discussion turns to the big news of the week: the Bardot reunion. On a more serious note, sports of all persuasions get the once over, including footy, T20 World Cup, the Moto GP, EPL and the Polish darts. 

On a musical note, as we use that term dangerously in this case, the chart for discussion comes from 4GR Toowoomba, February 1970. Stand by for a shocking revelation that may irreparably damage the very shaky musical credibility of one of the Ruck 'n' Roll team. We use the term team very dangerously there as well. Ruck ON!
