Podcast appearances and mentions of kevin hillier

Jenny Pattrick came to writing novels after a very successful life in teaching and in the jewellery industry where she is something of a revered figure. The New Zealand born and raised author chats about her 11th novel, Sea Change. Jenny takes us to a coastal community reeling from a tsunami and the aftermath brings out the best and worst in those affected. My second guest is author A.M.Jaxon, talking about the first part of The Love Connection Series. Saoirse's Story takes you from Donegal in Ireland to Brisbane as the main character seeks a new life, but it is anything but plain sailing. Two very different writers, two very different books, but equally engaging and entertaining. Sea Change (Bateman Books) Saoirse's Story (Hembury Books) All thanks to our podcast partners CSCG.

Our musical journey this week takes us to the sizzling seventies, but much of the rest of the program has barely left the cave. Stephen J Peak gives us an interesting insight into lawyers watching lawyers and again shows why he never became a professional punter. Ken Francis is in for Finey and as always brings decorum and knowledge to the discussion. We'd prefer hot chips or chocolate, but that's life. Kev's Not happy Jan with Spurs sacking Ange. As always there is plenty of footy talk and hilarious observations of life in general, plus the winning lotto numbers for next Saturday, a cure for stupidity and a recipe for scones.

Finey returns and he has come from the clouds in the footy tipping to be the clear leader at the halfway point of the season. Did Peak peak too early and is Kev's bias is costing him? Will he ever get over those prelim final losses of the eighties and nineties? There is plenty of footy news to discuss as well as F1, NRL, darts and racing. FYI - Stewards are currently investigating what type of darts Stephen J uses to come up with his weekly equine selections. More details soon. Musically, Eric Clapton is under the RnR spotlight. From The Yardbirds to Cream and his solo success, how does the man they called The Guitar God rate? Lock up your dachshunds, padlock the biscuit tin and man the lifeboats!

It's another double-barrelled episode of Authorised, with two authors who come to our bookshelves via very different paths. Muriel Cooper was the queen of talkback radio for many years and a trailblazer in broadcasting for the women who have followed her. These days she is a psychologist and author and her latest book is the most refreshing self help guide you will find anywhere. The title says it all - Up Shit Creek in a Barbed Wire Canoe and How to Cope with it (Norstrilia Press). As flippant as that sounds, Muriel has some very useful hints, presented in her own unique style. Joanna Jenkins became a fulltime writer after a long and distinguished law career. The law's loss is our gain, as Joanna's second novel shows her to be a very clever, unpredictable and adventurous author with well-honed storytelling skills. The Bluff (Allen & Unwin) is a compelling story, as is how it came to be. All thanks to our podcast partners CSCG.

Not only do we musically travel back to 1979 and the height of the disco boom, but Stephen J Peak relives his daze of gold tipped shoes, tight fitting cream corduroy slacks and lemon cotton body shirts and shaking his groove thing at Inflation and The Underground. But wait, there's more - and fortunately it is not more of that. All codes of footy get a run, especially Ange, NRL State of Origin and the AFL's cry babies. Screw open the Ben Ean Moselle, grab a packet of Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs and get ready to snort like Arnold Horshack. Let's get this party started.

It's another Fine (less) mess you have gotten yourself into. Finey is still absent and it is working wonders with his footy tipping. We may suggest something similar for Stephen J Peak if his current form continues, both in footy and the sport of kings. It might be too late for Stephen to replicate his famous advertising chant about losing his shirt and pants, 'cause chances are he is about to lose again! In a startling development, Peaky does have a great idea to take some pressure of the AFL umpires. We don't get serious too often but this week the deathalyser is cause for some deeper discussion. Musically, attention turns to one of the most celebrated rock bands of any generation- The Who. It's a meaty, beaty, big and bouncy journey through their classics.

Peter Norris has led an extraordinary life by any measure. His childhood was unlike anyone else's and like us all, he made some good and bad choices, but the options he had to choose from were very different to most kids. Peter's father was a career criminal and it looked like Peter was following in his footsteps until he made a difficult choice. Peter's story is harrowing, confronting, sad, joyous and totally compelling. The Bank Robber's Boy (Big Sky Publishing) does have a happy ending and Peter shares the whole experience in this candid chat with Kevin. All thanks to our podcast partners CSCG.

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. Kevin Hillier, Stephen J Peak, Ken Francis.

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. Kevin Hillier, Stephen J Peak, Ken Francis.

Sarah Hayden now adds author to her very impressive list of life credentials which include wife, mother of 5, foster mother of 55, qualified social worker and equine assisted psychotherapist and Mayor of Golden Plains Shire Council. Her book Parenting Different - How to raise your neurodivergent kids to be their authentic and awesome selves (Murdoch Books) is both a personal journey and a practical guide to navigating and embracing the ever-changing and unpredictable experiences that unfold in the neurodivergent world. Her story - told with passion, drive and determination - is incredible. All thanks to our podcast partners CSCG.

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.

Emma talks about her first novel 'Last Shot' (Penguin) and Mike shares tales about his latest 'The Baggy Green' (Gelding Street Press).

It is more off Broadway than an Oscar extravaganza as Kev, Finey and Stephen J Peak slip into the opening round of the AFL with their thoughts and selections. After a controversial inaugural season, Lenny's Fine Foods Footy Tipping returns. Musically this week it is sporting songs of varying persuasions that come under the watchful eye, critical tongue and tone deaf ears of the Ruck 'n Rollers. All this and less can be expected in this episode. Program's availability subject to natural disasters like bad hair days, over boiled cabbage and the odd cyclone. T's & C's apply.

On the Ruck 'n Roll menu this week a smorgasbord of tasty topics. There's cricket of all levels, from the elite in Pakistan to the headbutter in Gippsland. Football is served up in all flavours - AFL, NRL, and EPL. Musically Kylie tops the chart du jour from March 20, 1988 but does she make anyone's good or bad list? It is an all you can stomach episode (as it always is). Ruck ON!!

Stephen J Peak is in the wars. Kev can see light, crosses and a complete lack of activity at the end of the tunnel and Finey takes jumbo schnitzels and mini kisses. What does it all mean? Is this a sign from above? Is she really going out with him? Are Friends Electric? Do you know the way to San Jose? If you don't, listen to the episode now. More of these musically inane questions will be posed randomly on your phone. You think we are joking?

It's Question Time in the Ruck 'n Roll House. Kev asks If there is NIL in the till, how can Victoria host NFL, NBA and the NHL but not the Commonwealth Games? Finey wonders whether the good people of Victoria are the victims of a massive rort. And Stephen J Peak ponders whether it's best to use Menulog, Uber Eats or Deliveroo! The musical question - Is the 3XYchart from April 1976 as bad as it seems? And in the Deathalyser this week, a serious question regarding how we report, discuss and deal with suicide.

The wait is over. Kev, Finey and Stephen J return for 2025 and the sparks are flying early. The shame of Aussie sports fans exposed, dick pics (not exposed) but discussed and the holiday adventures across the globe are in the spotlight. Musically, it's back to February 1985 for a serving of Madonna, Style Council and The Stranglers. Get in the queue and get ready its the first serve of a very long 2025 match. Ruck on!

The final show of a very interesting year is here and it is a gift from the Gods of Podcasting. Three wise men were not enough so we enlisted the help of Ken Francis to place the angel on the top of the tree. Ho Ho Ho into some festive banter and yuletide hilarity plus the usual sprinkling of seasonal bulldust from Kev, Finey and Peaky. We will return in 2025 (T's& C's apply) Merry Christmas from Kev, Finey, Stephen J, Ken and our producer Steve. Stay safe, happy travels and good health to you and your family. RUCK ON !

Delays, hospital rounds and a bout of the dreaded lurgi have been the order of the week, but the medicos have managed to restore Kev to active duty and we're off and running!   This week, Peaky's legal skills may see him qualify for a secondary career in UN peacekeeping, Finey's doing the numbers on his body art project...and they're impressive on more counts than one...the Deathalyser serves up a shock, and we head back to November1966 for a look at the charts from 4BC. And we have a wrap of all the AFL news, the AFLW Grand FInal, cricket and Formula 1, and a look ahead to see what 2025 has in store.   -- Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Subscribe in iTunes!https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can't bat, can't bowl but can sledge and with that show mantra, Kev, Finey and S J Peak give their views on the major stories of the week (some stories may appear bigger than they actually are). The 3XY chart this week is just that - WEAK like the Australian batting line up and both cop their rightful whack. No prisoners here, everyone is fair game, from Marnus to Ding Dong, Smudge to Dazza it's shame on. Finally, Finey's been doing some sticker spotting and does not like what he sees.       Kevin Hillier, Mark Fine, Stephen J Peak Subscribe in iTunes!https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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?

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 Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.

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 Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 Spotifyhttps://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 © 2023See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. Who's on last is not amusing him at all.      Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark Fine Subscribe in iTunes!https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotifyhttps://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 © 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
