Robust, spirited, feisty, vigorous, unyielding, tempered, lively, compelling and intense are just some of the words you won't hear in this episode of Ruck 'n Roll, but several describe the nature of banter in this week's program. You might like to add inane, irrelevant, unprintable, insulting and nonsensical. No more words, time for some music.  

Our musical journey takes us to the Bermuda Triangle of Top 40 on board a 3XY chart from May of 1985. It has not aged well.

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.

Some Like it Hot 

We go all out for the celebration of Scott Pendlebury's AFL games record. Every 433 seconds, one of our intrepid team will say something Scott related. Listen carefully because it maybe subtle, vague or even obtuse. 

Also in this Scott-stacked episode, a deep dive into World of Scott. 

We dare ask the questions that have puzzled for years:

Is Scott a better surname or Christian name? 

Is Scot-free really free ?  

Was Scott of the Antarctic reckless?  

When did Australian Crawl lyrics become relevant or intelligible? 

And that smooth segue leads us into this:

Instead of the usual dusty Top 40 chart or a musical autopsy on an artist's life's work, it's 'Scott Mania'. 

Who is the best Scott? Is it an actor, a singer, an explorer or maybe a golfer, writer or a Thunderbird? What?!!! 

Get on board the Scott Express, leaving now ...... Ruck ON!!!

Beam Me Up Scotty! 

All hands are on deck for this episode as Stephen J Peak returns. It is a culinary explosion as Stephen shares his rather dubious degustation destination during his absence. Who knew dinner could be an occupation!? The SJP Experience isn't finished there, wait 'til you hear about his nocturnal balcony activities. 

The following episode is rated OMG and may contain Adult Themes with childish giggling, Nudity with screaming and vomiting, Language other than English and Foul and Horror - God you will experience the horror. 

You will also hear the occasional intelligent discussion about sport and musically, Sir Thomas Jones Woodward aka Tom Jones is the act under the spotlight.           

So all join hands and try to contact the living ... Ruck ON!!!

It's Not Unusual. 

Mark Fine returns from Singapore and Stephen J Peak is a no show! Shock! Horror! Gasp! The gossip columnists would dine out on this development, but nothing to see here.        No IVO's here, the only orders Mr. Peak is interested in come from Uber Eats. 

In this episode Anzac Day and the Anzac Appeal round get a robust 360 review. As does the AFL's  ARC, Scott Pendlebury and Billy Field. That would be the first time that pair have ever been in the same sentence. 

Musically, as we use the term loosely, we head to 1992 and dive head first into the ARIA Top 40 for the year, which has Billy Ray Cyrus perched at number 1. Nuff said.
