Show Notes
Welcome aboard your weekly flight to the Bermuda Triangle of podcasting otherwise known as Ruck 'n Roll (insert Vincent Price Thriller laugh but strictly no MJ-like groin touching). Captain Hillier speaking at the controls, along with First Officer Kenny 'Cockpit' Francis and your cabin crew Purser Peak and our Chef de Mission - launching Lenny's Fine Flying Food - Mark Fine. Our flight time is one hour but with the expected wind gusts from the Purser and the constant re-rooting of the flight path, delays to our final destination are expected. There will be turbulence, plus altitude and attitude variances, and please observe the 'no smirking' signs. For the comfort of your fellow passengers, please keep flatulence to a minimum, belching to an acceptable volume and strictly no nose picking. For your listening enjoyment the cabin crew will be with you soon to see if you would like headphones. Before you do that old joke remember who make up our cabin crew. Fasten your chastitiy belt and Ruck On!!! Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak, Ken Francis Producer - Steve Visscher © 2026 Howdy Partners Media

The dreaded post-gig lurgy has floored Ken, who is missing this week. The fact he spent a lot of time with SJP last week is pure coincidence. Said no-one. That aside, there is lots to talk about this week, including South Melbourne’s amazing Australia Cup victory, AFL trades, cricket in South Africa, running out of petrol and of course the Spring Racing Carnival gets a guernsey. Warning: If you follow SJP’s tips you have already lost your mind. Your shirt will follow.

Like a caged beast in a David Attenborough doco, Stephen J Peak has again been released into the wild, or as it is better known in environmental and ecological circles - Fitzroy. The Evelyn Hotel to be precise, where a special breed of female homosapiens known as Hot Machine were introducing new, exciting sounds from some prehistoric gizmo known as - a record album. Stephen and Sherpa Ken Francis survived and we hear their tale in this episode. In other parts of this wildlife adventure, we talk about humans being swapped so they can kick a pigskin around, other humans throwing flying projectiles at a piece of wood and fine equine beasts racing each other with fancy dressed small creatures sitting on top of them.

The 2026 AFL Grand Final unpacked from go to woe! We have it all covered - Kylie flying, Dockers crying, Melbourne weather, Kylie's leather, Wharfie Time blue, Kylie's hairdo. What more could you ask for? It's a rhetorical question, move on.

It's the three Fs everyone is talking about - Football, Farnham and Fashion - and you won't find a better podcast to provide you with the worldly and wordy wrap up of all the F words. As you know, we know all the F words. Finey dials in from downtown Daylesford to give his Grand Final thoughts and predictions. SJP is filthy about the behaviour of footy crowds and wants them severely punished by the league and the law. Ken saw the Farnham tribute show and is glowing about a world class musical night and only has one sour note - no free to air. Ken also shares Kylie's little known musical connection to the Lions ahead of her Grand Final appearance. Heat up the party pies and sausage rolls and cool the tinnies, it's time to Ruck 'n Roll.
