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!!!

'As the chill of winter brings its icy countenance' is a nice turn of phrase and might be a good opening line for a Bureau of Meteorology staff meeting, but here it acts as an entree to the cold, hard reality of this episode's freshly generated word salad.

It's festive, frivilous, fractious, forthright, fearless, feckless, flamboyant, fiery and flawed ... and even Kev has injected an F word to keep the show moving forward.

Is it vile or vial? Is it cheating or competing? Is it right or rort? A robust discussion about the Enhanced Games is just part of the fun and games in this episode. The robustness continues through football of all codes and modes and our intrepid panel drill down on everything from commentary to name changes and even some dental cover. The perils of the pre-recorded show strike as we discuss Brad Scott's coaching future. There's five minutes we will never get back.

And to finish this episode we pay tribute to the great Neale Daniher. Play on.
