The AFL, the ABC and the FBI all come into the RnR viewfinder this week. The  national draft, the AFL fixture and Mike Tyson also have our attention. Ken Francis joins us for his thoughts on the Countdown 50 Year television special. And finally, what gems are unearthed from the 3XY Top 40 from December 1980? It is the usual vat of hot issues, implied scandal and outright fabrications that you have come to expect.       Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak  Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

In a packed program this week ... Stephen J Peak proves he is in a league of his own in more ways than one as he remembers his days as part of a women's American football program which turned out to be more NFI than NFL (may contain implied nudity, juvenile themes, preposterous claims of originality and total BS). Finey has some provocative thoughts about the Aussie cricketers' coming series against the Indians and it's not good for Pat's boys. Kev's excited about the return of Yellowstone and not because the horses are faster than the ones Peaky tipped in the Cup. There is our weekly tribute to the recently passed and the duos theme continues with our favourites from sport, music and showbiz.             Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

The one day of the year we are all racing experts. So match our Ruck 'n Roll panellists with the following classic racing expressions. Who has a head like a beaten favourite? Who looks like he has been in a good paddock? And who needs a few reminders with the persuader  to keep his mind on the task at hand?                                                      Seems there are no wrong answers here and hopefully nothing but winners in our Cup preview episode.                                                                                                              We also talk cricket, footy, those who have left this mortal coil and finish with our favourite Aussie duos.    Grumble responsibly.

It is the podcast that stops a nation! Would you believe it is the podcast that stops a small contingent of unnamed stars of the constellation from self combustion? Moving on to this week's show, where intelligent discourse and razor sharp repartee is found in abundance between trite, flippant comments about horse racing, cricket, football, the dearly departed and over rated songs from international superstars. Listen responsibly, chances are you are about to lose your tenuous grip on reality.       Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

From the RnR concerned citizen file - Brightonian Stephen J Peak reports the locals are revolting! Funnily, the locals say the same thing about him. Finey chalks up tatt #117 and Dad joke #666. Kev has the latest on the AFL, the EPL, T20 and the Cox Plate.  Musically, it is under-rated international songs and the boys unearth some unappreciated gems from The Guess Who, Todd Rundgren, The Small Faces and more. Don't miss Finey's exclusive revelation regarding his radio future.     Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

Guess who had a hearing, a small win and is feeling pretty good about himself? Guess again, because it is not the show's resident counsel, but in fact the illustrated man has had words, not pictures, and tells the tale. We have found more words about the AFL Meat Market, the AFLW problem, the Spring Racing Carnival and of course the dearly departed in The Deathalyser.  Musically it is underrated Aussie songs and some rippers get unearthed to enjoy their deserved moment in the sunshine. You may hear Mental as Anything, Goanna, TISM, The Easybeats and Hush in glowing terms or will it be William Shakespeare, Pussyfoot, Joe Dolce or Warwick Capper that rises like a mushroom through the fluent and effluent babble of the boys?

The feathers fly in this episode. Finey is tweeting? But about real birds, not a social media platform, and his Magpies aren't named Daicos. We have gone from footy season to swooping season but still find time for a few thoughts on the Rugby League Grand Final. Stephen J Peak and Kev take time out from their busy schedule of plover swoops and studying the Spring Racing Carnival form to ask and answer some questions re the ridiculous world of footy contracts. Musically, it is tall poppy time with our trio of musical bon va vonts giving us their most over rated Australian songs, including names like Farnham, Icehouse, Kylie and Chisel !!!      Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

We say farewell to the AFL season with a full autopsy on the red carpet, the fashion, the backstabbing. Sorry, that was the pre-show meeting, or maybe it was the Brownlow?  Stephen J Peak gives his summation of the Katy Perry performance, Finey knows where the Swans went wrong and Kev covers the medal presentation. There is an NRL Grand Final to discuss as well as Spring Racing, the Deathalyser and musically, it's the under rated overseas acts' turn for some much deserved attention.        Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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.             Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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 wack. Sinatra, Streisand and Sting are superstars and as such don't rate a mention in this discussion. Wait till you hear who does.     Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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 champion in the Deathalyser and the musical banter is to say the least, over rated. No, it really is. The good news keeps coming. It is a delight to have Ken Francis back, Kev wasn’t washed ashore on an Inverloch beach like another ancient relic and Stephen J Peak wasn’t that relic.

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 Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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 iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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 as singers. Finey makes an amazing discovery about the singing prowess of an action adventure icon (it's our closing song). Ken unearths some Aussie musical gems and Kev has some advice for our Nicole.  Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Ken Francis Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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.

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 Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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 iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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 and Rheem come on heavy, hot and strong before a big finish to the show - our RnR tribute to the advertising jingles.    Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark Fine Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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. And to finish, remember where the steward told you the sick bags are because Brian debuts his AI song for all the Gold Coast Girls.   Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark Fine Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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 Fine Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2023

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 course.   Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark Fine, Ken Francis Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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.

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 Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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 Francis, Mark Fine (absent) Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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.

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 Fine Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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 better.  Ruck ON!  Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark Fine Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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 sackings!  --  Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark Fine Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

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.

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.

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 mediocrity. The Deathalyser as always is sad, but this week also provides  a moral dilemma.    Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark Fine Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

The fisherman returns and he is in vintage Finey form from the start, especially regarding the footy and in particular Brian's beloved Bombers. But it isn't over there as the tattooed man then hooks into a song Kev likes in the Chart Chat from the 4BC Top 40 from April 1966 and then unloads on Elvis Presley, Brian's absolute favourite. 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 Fine Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

A source close to Ruck 'n Roll HQ claims all is not what it appears among the three stars of the show. Our insider says the reported rifts and infighting are a sham and the three get on famously and enjoy doing the show.  Finey is missing this week but not with a mystery hamstring injury, as suggested by some unnamed sources. He is fishing in the NT. Ken Francis has been subbed in and brings a super 3XY Top 40 from July 1981 for Chart Chat. A friend of the program, on the guarantee of anonymity, told this boofhead sorry masthead that some parts of this episode may include fake news, attempts at humour and general piss taking. Conflicting reports were received from other sources that don't actually exist, that deny hearing any traces of humour in the episode at all.

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 buns offer expired three weeks ago.

It is another sedate, uneventful episode of everyone's favourite weekly podcast! Finey says the Pies are not a premiership threat (GOING), Brian maintains his very slippery grip on the top of the tipping ladder(GOING) and Kev gets the arse from his Geelong radio show (GONE). Chart Chat travels back to March of 1990 and many songs. like Jetstar passengers, have travelled better than others.   Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark Fine Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

When he should be shouting from the rooftop about his footy tipping triumph, Brian is instead croaking his way through the show. Spoiler Alert: He is no less annoying. We wrap up Finey's radio return, the footy (both AFL & NRL) and some cricket news. Chart Chat travels back to March 1969 and asks and answers the musical question- Where Do You Go To My Lovely?     Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark Fine Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024

It seems like an eternity but the footy is back and that means the 2024 Lenny's Fine Foods Footy Tipping is back. It is the best and most interesting footy tipping contest ever devised, after all even Brian can win it. He won't, but he can.  Finey brings World Championship sledging back to the cricket fields and the Chart Chat heads to the murky depths of March 1996 and it is not unchartered territory but it should be.      Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark Fine Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2024
