Bridge and Spida - Gold FM 92.5 Gold Coast

Last day of the show for 3 weeks! Big plans for the holidays, but not before a big day on the show. Leisel has always dreamed of being on A Current Affair and thinks something has finally happened to her that might make the cut! ACA reporter Maggie Raworth joins the show, to give Leisel her professional opinion about Leisel’s pitch. The World Cup is getting close to its climax, with Argentina and Spain in the big dance. One of the truly amazing stories is a 20-year-old photo of Lionel Messi and baby Lamine Yamal, who are now facing off in the game! Messi as the 39 y/o veteran, arguably the greatest ever, up against the 19y/o Spanish sensation. Liam breaks down the chances of all those things lining up and it’s truly astonishing! The GC Phonetic Alphabet has been getting more love and the “W” spot has been especially popular for a new Gold Coast business – the Wee Nibble Café in Nerang! Leisel couldn’t believe the cost of a mum’s groceries yesterday, but some listeners call in to give their weekly grocery budgets… Finally, over the holidays Spida has been given a gift from Sheree – two books that promise to make him return as a completely different man. We will believe it when we see it! See you all in a few weeks!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The team talk about their childhood books! The most memorable reads from when they were kids. Spida’s was The Very Hungry Caterpillar, when he was 18… GC Phonetic Alphabet is back with more suggestions from the people of the Gold Coast! Comm Games are about to kick off and European Athletics have brought in new photography rules to stop the sexualisation of athletes. Leisel has some thoughts on the new regulations. Leisel got a text at 9:48pm last night, waaaaay past her bed time. Just as she is talking through it, Liam receives a controversial text of his own! Spida Spray is back & this time the big fella is very confused about an item on the sides menu at a local surf club. Safe to say, he would’ve preferred the chips, or wings!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The team begin building the Gold Coast Phonetic Alphabet! Leisel was trying to nail the NATO version, but it just wouldn’t compute – so why not localise it?! Spida has some recommendations to improve the Department of Transport experience, The Podium Game is back with podiums of things you wish would have lasted longer: Sleep, childhood, or the feeling of winning Olympic Gold? Jed Walter has re-signed long term with the Gold Coast SUNS and joins the team in studio to talk about life and footy on the GC – long term!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Question of the Day: If you had $1000 to spend on the Gold Coast, where is the first place you go? Leisel is going straight to Pac Fair, Spida is heading out on a deep-sea charter, Liam is shouting the bar & George is golfing. Liam’s son Mack is back to school today, but his parents forgot about some holiday homework that made for a mad last-minute cram. Leisel had a bad experience with the NATO phonetic alphabet, having to wing it over the phone - she thought she had it covered after all her practice in the $1000 Minute, then turned to water under pressure! Spida is in a new hydrid car and the charging situation is not agreeing with him. He needs advice + the show gets very personal when George gets accused of buying sourdough to fulfill his show bet. It could be seen as an attack on his honour unless he really is a sneaky liar? All will be revealed tomorrow.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Producer George made it to work on time this morning, with a debt to pay. He has brought in some sourdough, but the team is not convinced. The listeners weigh in on whether his effort over the weekend was satisfactory! Leisel has a question about personalised plates and attracting police attention. Surely vanity plates are like a red rag to a bull for police? Especially some of the plates people are rolling around with… Spida is still good mates with his sister’s ex-husband, including going to his next wedding, much to his sister’s dismay! It gets the team talking about what people kept after their divorce and we hear from a bloke whose ex-fiance’s dad was the best man at his wedding! Things are looking grim for the SUNS, with Dimma declaring that the season is as good as over. What is next for the struggling SUNS?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The team talk about Producer George's punishment after his embarrassing no-show. It's the end of school holidays so the team hear listeners "at work with mum and dad" stories. Everyone remembers a time when they had to go into the office, or onto site, with their folks. A big stretch of Nerang-Broadbeach Road is in the dark with signs saying it is due to theft. Confused, the team need to GC to explain how thieves are taking out the lights. Leisel has a guest arriving sooner than she thought and is not prepared at all, so she's scrambling to get a mattress sorted. What is better - a Facebook Marketplace second hand mattress, or an inflatable? Sheree Everitt joins the show to give her coward husband some grief after she had to handle a potential intruder while he hid in the house. Finally, Goegre arrives to work after a wake up call from the show. Verrrrrrry poor from him! Punishment imminent.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The best things in life are free? The team choose what they would want to have an unlimited supply of. Spida Sprays short people in exit rows & Liam is happy to concede for the shorties, on one condition.... Leisel had a late-night discovery on her drive home last night. It may not seem like anything anything major, but maybe she does have a point?! The team talk to Dreamworld CEO about the new Warriors NRL partnership "Wahsworld!" After the office receptionist had her card mistakenly cancelled by a trainee at the bank, Liam thinks that in certain places, people should be required to wear L plates. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Question of the Day goes south when the team talk about getting bitten by a dog in the worst possible place. Leisel met someone who only lasted 6 hours in their teaching job, but that's nothing compared to a listener who only lasted 45 minutes at his job as a chef! Taylor Swift apparently walked down the aisle to her own song, so Leisel and Spida reflect on their wedding songs & whether your own song is play on! GC Gossip returns with some juicy GC SUNS rumours involving a certain Collingwood star. Producer George comes in studio to defend his bad mood, after he says a "sourdough crime" has been committed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Producer George in studio to talk about his sourdough debacle, where his sister-in-law turned his precious sourdough into a cob loaf. Spida had his nephew's 18th birthday in NZ over the weekend and a food delivery went wrong. Leisel Likes the limited-edition Banana Drumsticks, which sparks an argument about party mix lollies. Tom Tate joins the show to give a GC update & share travel plans for his upcoming leave. The guest list for Origin at ours is locked and loaded, with 2 listeners becoming very worthy final additions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Producer George gives a rating to the team for their effort during the week, but they are more concerned that he is home alone for a month. Leisel received a text message invitation to a 50th birthday party in Victoria, from a number she doesn't know. The only logical option? Call the number and get to the bottom of the invitation! Origin night at the Bellagio is starting to make everyone nervous and what better way to calm the nerves than invite some people who have racked up damage bills in the past. One bloke even scores an invite after telling the story of how he accidentally burned the top story of a pub down...Gold Coast 3-code sporting superstar Teagan Levi is in studio before the Titans NRLW season kicks off this weekend. A true Gold Coast product, Teagan was drafted to the Suns AFLW team, played Rugby 7's for Australia at the Olympics & now is taking to the NRLW competition. Why not?! Liam wraps it up with his Child of the Week - this time awarding joint honours for one of his most important displays of etiquette and human decency. Go kids!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today is international "I forgot" day! A day made for Liam - the king of all things forgotten and forgetful! He needs listeners to make him feel better about his forgetful ways. It is also a big day for Spida, with a number of Aussie slang terms being added to the Oxford English Dictionary, including "checkout chick," "flog" and "arc up." Spida's Spray gets a bit more serious, looking into the domestic violence problem on the Gold Coast and in Australia. Finally, Leisel has found her favourite ever graffiti tag & it's even sillier than you would think.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the EOFY and Producer George wants to know what the team's best moments of the 25-26 financial year were. Leisel had a moment with someone else's child at the doctor's office. She was compelled to discipline the child, whose parent was not keeping an eye on them! Play on or not on? Liam found someone in the office that posted old cloth nappies on Facebook Marketplace. Surely that's over the line? Podiums are back with the MVP of Household Items! Finally, Leisel's marathon day is creeping up and it's time to lock in her online dating form, for spectators to scan via QR code on the day!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The team discuss what party tricks they can learn before Origin next Wednesday. Spida has been called in for pest control for a friend's Red Back infestation and he needs help. The deadly animals are living in an electrical box and he's not sure if spraying them will cause an explosion. Leisel has made a very saucy discovery in her travels around the Gold Coast - one of the GC's favourite swingers' clubs! The team discuss what entry into the club might look like... Mayor Tom Tate joins the show for Tom Tate Tuesday as always, to discuss holidays on the Coast, the recent State Government transport decision & the swift end to his skating career. Finally, Leisel is worried about her house prices dropping after hearing cat fights when she lays in bed at night. What's going on in Mudgeeraba?!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

George has a miss with the question of the day, so the team tease him about his sourdough instead. Origin at Ours continues to grow, with some interesting calls about party tricks. Some unsavoury pregame & halftime entertainment has been locked in! The SUNS copped a tough loss on the weekend & some questions are starting to be asked about where this season is headed. Leisel went to Katherine on the weekend for the first time since she was born there 40 years ago. She has a whinge about the accommodation, but more so about the sign on the entre to town. "Birthplace of Cadel Evans." It sparks a fun debate about who deserves the sign more - our Olympic legend or the cycling superstar that was the first Aussie to win the Tour de France. It's a close one! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Liam poses the hypothetical – would you rather share all your digital history, or have to share all food and drinks for the rest of your life. This comes off the back off Liam finding the LAST meatball Chupa Chupp at IKEA yesterday. It was a disgusting collaboration and made worse by everyone having to taste the same lollipop. Producer George gets stitched up with the final lick. Tyla calls in to tell Leisel there is love to be found when exercising. She met her hubby at Muay Thai and asked him out. Never looked back! Finally, with the Socceroos game inbound, we hear from people who have been at major life events but have been distracted with one eye on the TV. The Dragons NRL premiership stopped a wedding in its tracks. GO SOCCEROOS!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What could you throw further- a naan bread or a baguette? The team is split on this with Leisel and Spida going naan & Liam and George thinking baguette. Leisel is back on deck and goes into DETAIL about her unprepped, un-sedated colonoscopy. The calls come in from the Gold Coast, talking about the procedures they have had while awake! It makes Leisel feel a bit better about her hospital stay. Spida Sprays farmer’s markets, thinking that they are full of wannabes and influencers, without a farmer in sight. He says there is no longer such a thing as a farmers’ market on the Gold Coast. Another Origin at Ours party-goer has been locked in! Brett and Lisa have agreed to put their children’s State of Origin allegiances on the line, to join the show at the Bellagio for the game!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Producer George has started making sourdough and Spida think it’s a huge waste of time. Spida feels the same about when he is cooking, but Liam thinks those jobs are not a waste - like making your bed and mowing the lawn. George thinks the beautiful things are not about using time efficiently - it’s about the love and care that goes into it. Leisel joins the show from the Gold Coast University Hospital! She is all good but has needed to stay in for scanning. Great to hear her voice and get some reassurance! Loosely Related is back, with the Queen, Elvis and Bob Marley’s family call in to the show! Spida brings some GC Gossip as he has heard rumours about Chris Hemsworth filming on the GC. Finally, an Origin Game 3 bet has been laid down. The allegiance of the children is on the line!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Liam proposes an AFL rule change, Spida jumps on with an NRL change & George thinks there’s an easy quick-fix for soccer. Gail from Tweed Heads told the team that she is related to Michael Hancock and they go down the rabbit hole of “loose relations”. Roger Moore, Lady Godiva and Darren Middleton’s family members call in! Spida apologises to Victory Ford for ripping the side-step off his car. Liam talks a big game about damaging borrowed goods, until another caller joins the show… Liam has built a machine that you can ask Socceroo’s questions. It shows what our next fixture will be after the Paraguay game on Friday. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Leisel asks the question: what is classy when you’re rich but trashy when you’re poor. The 5km training has begun and Leisel reads through her possible T-shirt designs! Crisafulli is proposing the new transport network for the Gold Coast and the team aren’t sure how effective it will be. Origin at Ours is underway to set up the ultimately listening party at the Bellagio Gold Coast and Brookes story wins the day for her to make the guest list. Finally, Liam had a viral moment over the weekend in the commentary box when a kid stole a Sherrin at the footy. The dramatic chase was commentated live by the team in the box!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Raise for a RideSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tomorrow is the big day and the team talk through this HOTA gallery climb… Leisel has been alone too long & she is worried that she has crossed a threshold that she can never return from – she has started having full conversations with herself. Turns out she’s not alone! Spida is in the same boat - should we be worried about them? Spida Sprays the texting habits of kids these days, wondering what the deal is with sending 7 back-to-back texts, each with one sentence. He thinks “pay-per-text” needs to be brought in. Liam is being a responsible adult and is hooked up to a 24-hour blood pressure monitor. He feels like a human Tamagotchi and the results could mean he needs to quit the show. Stress! Spida lost his phone yesterday and it showed up in a funny place. So funny that he was unsure if he wanted it back!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The team kick off with some rapid fire Would You Rather! They then talk to listeners who have tattoos on their backside after the Mayor’s comments yesterday - the caller with a rabbit tattoo is shocking… Australian Crawl’s James Reyne joins the show to talk about the brand reuniting for this year’s Red Hot Summer Tour in Coolangatta - an amazing band, full of hits and great stories in their short but sweet time together. It’s Podium Day & to celebrate the World Cup it is the Podium of the Hottest Accents. Leisel is all over the shop with the most rogue decisions and Spida struggled hard to come up with his. We are getting close to Raise for a Ride with the team scaling HOTA Gallery. They chat to the blokes responsible for their safety on the day – the abseiling team – and they are not very reassuring! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Japanese football fans were captured picking up all the rubbish as they left the stadium at the World Cup. The team talk about other courteous behaviours that would make the world a better place. Sad news yesterday about the Mudgeeraba Show - cancelled for 2026 due to weather. Spida has mixed emotions, reflecting on the time his chocolate cake got judged poorly at the show! The criticism is classic. Leisel Likes is back with a big shoutout to her amazing and helpful neighbour, Jesse. Tom Tate Tuesday as always, the show joined by the Mayor to discuss the new Council budget & the tattoo he planned to get on his bum? Two blue lovebirds as a secret with his wife, Ruth! Unbelievable stuff from the Gold Coast’s fearless leader. Finally, on the eve of Origin 2, reports have surfaced that Laurie Daley’s pregame speeches are putting people to sleep. Spida and Leisel are no stranger to inspirational speakers, having had their share of big pump ups & total flops.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Socceroos fever has swept the nation and the team decide – if they could pick any team to win a championship, who would they choose? Hard to go past how insane a Socceroos World Cup would be. Leisel is feeling proud of her reno efforts after having flooring installed, but now she’s not sure if she should push on and do the next job DIY or call in the pro’s. She needs to tile the splashback in her kitchen! Tim the Tiler calls in to support Leisel. He can help her out and get her on the right track! Spida has a confession to make about his behaviour on the weekend. He and Sheree were travelling back from Melbourne and knew they had potato and leek soup in the fridge ready for dinner. They were going to be arriving late and didn’t want to stop to get bread for the soup, so Spida took 6 dinner rolls from the Virgin lounge! It might be the most “old man” crime that has ever happened! Finally, after a big draught and the chase going cold, Liam and Spida think they have finally solved Leisel’s dating woes, by signing her up for the Gold Coast Marathon?! Spida thinks it’s the ultimate place to find love. If you see someone running with a QR code on her back, that’s an Olympic champion looking for romance!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Liam asks the crew what time period of their life they would choose to “Groundhog Day.” Leisel is not sold on her new EV and is feeling a smidge of buyer’s regret… The team chat about all their odd show behaviours, which direction they face and how they clean themselves. Spida showers in the dark and hates being disturbed. Liam became addicted to a new AFL-based game where you have to build a team to have a perfect 23-0 season. He became obsessed with building a team that included Spida and FINALLY achieved it yesterday! Finally, the Gold Coast call in to help Spida with an earworm.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Leisel has a game of Idioms. Try to guess where the saying came from! Liam has some fresh Gold Coast Gossip. Whispers are that the newest sports franchise on the GC will be a netball team! Leisel is fed up with being asked to review everything. The list of review requests is insane. The FIFA World Cup kicks off TODAY so Liam tests Leisel and Spida’s football knowledge with a game of “fill in the blank.” Fair to say, their knowledge leaves a bit to be desired. Finally, Spida’s Spray gets political. Australia is starting to feel the heat from Pauline Hanson and he thinks it is time that that everyone prepares for the impossible to be realised – is Pauline truly a chance?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The team discuss what niche hobby or activity they could go to the World Championships for - Parallel parking, card throwing, Backgammon and catching oysters in the mouth? Leisel had a shocking moment at the hairdresser yesterday, when the hairdresser shaved the back of her neck and then kept going down, shaving her back! She never knew she had a hairy back - someone call the authorities, bigfoot has been found! The team run through their Worst Movies Podium. Avatar, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood & Star Trek all top the lists! With a special surprise sporting guest, Liam brings in his brother to talk all things Australian Open Lawn Bowls. Spida is fascinated, until he starts talking about his upcoming travel. His granddaughter has some demands, which mean airport humiliation for the big fella. How does he walk through the airport with a metre tall stuffed unicorn?!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The team play a game of “Herd Mentality” where they have to try and say the same word from a prompt. Turns out, they are no good at thinking like a herd. We all have traumatic memories from grandparents’ house. Broken glasses, smells, foods and more. We hear from the Gold Coast about their grandparent trauma, including being forced to watch scary VHS tapes & shovelling show-cat poo. Spida and Leisel face off in a “hot and cold” debate about curb side parking. Spida is HOT and thinks it should be banned, but Leisel can’t understand how that could work. Leisel also has a problem with Robina at the moment. There is a distinct stench as she drives down Robina Parkway every morning. Turns on she is not imagining it & listeners call in to give their theories and try get to the bottom of the stink.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Producer George took advantage of the Triple M Gold name on Saturday to go VIP to the Tweed Seagulls home game! He has a case to answer… Aussie Emergency Glass bought the show at the Give Me 5 charity auction, so the team take calls about broken glass stories! We’ve all been there. Liam and Leisel had howlers on the weekend that left them both very red-faced. Spida is called in as judge, to decide who embarrassed themselves worse. What’s worse - losing your glasses twice, or eating at a catholic school event before the Principal has had a chance to say grace…George made the most of the footy and didn’t extend the invite to the rest of the team. He even took a bunch of mates with him! What a joke. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Producer George chooses his 1, 2, 3’s of the week and Spida has had a shocker! The stink bucket flop + his embarrassment at one of GC’s night of nights. Liam has a suggestion for a bachelor-style video to kick off the Logies this year, in the wake of Sam Pang stepping away from his role as host. It’s flu season and everyone is sick, so Spida blesses the Gold Coast with his sure-fire remedies (that we do not recommend and almost certainly will not make you feel better). Finally, hear the full recap of the Gold Coast Australian of the Year Awards. Spida basically heckled the winner of the award mid-speech + another great story emerged after Jesse Noonan from Rock ‘n’ Slide Skateboarding accepted his award!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

George is looking for names for his sourdough starter. The team’s suggestions are sub-par! Cooly Rocks On is underway, the epic nostalgia festival that takes over the southern Gold Coast. Spida reflects on the history of the festival and how his Cooly Rocks experiences have changed over the years. From hooner, to family man, to old man! Spida Sprays Gold Coast billboard outrage & it leads to conversation about “Birds & the Bees” chats. The Gold Coast call in to tell the team how they were taught and how they have gone about it with their kids! Liam recently met someone with a booger in their nose, and he was not comfortable to tell them. Fair enough or dog act?! Finally, Give Me 5 is BACK. Triple M Gold in partnership with the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation are back to raise funds for patient’s transport costs for oncology. It’s a vital service and worthy cause for bringing back Give Me 5.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Producer George has started trying to make sourdough (in an attempt to become more interesting). The rest of the team gives some skills they would like to know to make them more interesting. Musical instruments, fashion, farming or cars? There is a Tassie Devil loose on the Gold Coast and the clock is ticking! How can we track down Mary and what do we do if we find her?! Queensland days is this weekend, so the team give their Podiums of QLD and for the first time ever, everyone has the same thing on their podium – Steve Irwin, obviously! Spida’s Stinky Bucket comes to an almighty finale. Liam and Leisel play a bluff game to see who has to take on the bucket and Liam comes off second best. The stench is… something?!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chewing gum has been banned on Gold Coast trams, with threats of fines. At first the team thought this was a ridiculous rule, but now they are thinking more fines might help stop these rate rises. They chat about the antisocial behaviours that should be made fineable offences! Not returning shopping trollies and slow coffee orders are at the top of the list. Tom Tate joins the show to talk about those rate rises, the rumours about matching Olympic pay, the SUNS traffic problem and more. Leisel Likes is back with a new Tik Tok series about a kid digging a hole every day until he reaches China. We have all thought about it, this kid is living it! Spida’s Stinky Bucket Bluff continues with a phone call about why it should absolutely be left alone and not opened. Phil painted his office with off paint months ago and can still barely go inside. Airs it out every morning!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Leisel has a whinge at a shockingly bad pocket call she made at 10pm on Saturday night. She called her financial planner and was very bloated. Let’s just say they may have received a slightly farty voice mail... Unreal! Spida brings his spray forward to this morning so that there is time to plan. WHOEVER is responsible for it - with the biggest SUNS home game ever this weekend - the parking situation needs to be sorted out! Spida gives his recommendations to the government, the council and the SUNS about how to keep things flowing this weekend. Rod McLeod is brought in for a special interview, without telling him prior. Rod the Newsreader is a huge Angels fan and the team give him an impromptu interview with John Brewster about their upcoming show at Coolangatta Hotel as a part of Cooly Rocks On. Finally, Spida sets the stage for a game of bluff to decide who has to sniff his disgusting bucket!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Liam thinks everyone should know their favourite: Film, Album and Dish. Do you know yours/ Leisel responds to IOC President, Kirsty Coventry's, comments about why Olympians should not get paid. The shows resident Olympic legend says that "glory doesn't pay the bills." She goes as far as saying that with the pay the way it is, and bills the way they are, she would not encourage people to pursue the Games. "The glory is not worth it." Spida tees off on tip fees. He's not too upset about the $5 fee being brought in for landfill, but he says that $5 should also give us the right to go back to the good old days, where you could scour the tip for goodies. One man's trash, as they say...Hot topic Gold Coast issue at the moment is the black kelpie "Willy Wonka" born with an extra appendage. The team try and dance around discussions about the unlikely extra "old fella". Miss Chrissy Keepance joins the show to chat about Cooly Rocks On and her work as a pinup pageant mentor & so much more. Her ultimate challenge - get Spida doll'd up!Talk about putting lipstick on a pig...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's rugby league Christmas! The team give the rundown of their plans tonight for the game. Leisel and Spida have very disappointing plans. In honour of the game, Podiums this week is the Greatest Rivalries! Liam is not on board with Spida's, but he can hardly talk. The listeners call in to have their say and let Spida know how they feel about his effort. Leisel saw a Gold Coast business name recently that caught her eye and she needed to tell the team. It is not what was expected and why it appealed to her is even more of a concern! Boston flies back to the US this morning after a visit home. He was asleep when Spida left the house this morning, so why not call him and say a proper farewell? Maybe because Spida is the least expressive, emotional person of all time. Perfect - made for the ultimate awkward interaction when Sheree and Boston joined the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kevin Costner is floating around the Gold Coast, so the team answer the question: Which star is big enough that you would go out of the way to see them? Liam thinks The Rock, Spida wants Trumpy and Leisel thinks Kim Kardashian. George would go out of his way for Danny Devito! Spida went suit shopping yesterday and reveals that he can’t go shopping without Sheree. He’s not alone – everyone knows about the “man seat” in the shops and plenty of folks can’t be trusted to pick their own clothes. Tom Tate wasn’t available to chat to the team today, so auditions were taken for a replacement. The team got a direct quote from the Mayor about issues affecting the Gold Coast and Pete from Pimpama absolutely nailed the delivery. Classic. The man across all the local happenings, Nicka35, calls in to give the latest about Kevin Costner’s whereabouts – Keep your eyes peeled in Tugun! Time for the Gold Coast to get its own “Hollywood” sign?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Enhanced Games is underway & the show talk about what it would take to compete. Kyle Chalmers declined millions - Leisel chats about what she would have done if the offer came in when she was competing. A controversial new statue has gone up in Surfers, of Dog Man and Rabbit Lady riding a stainless steel dolphin. Opinions are divided, or at least confused! Leisel has a new mantra about positivity in every cell of the body. It’s a mantra for a happy life and Spida is on board, but Liam is far more cynical about mantras. Spida is fed up, whinging after the weekend in the wake of the news that Cheezels is releasing a Salt & Vinegar flavour. Blasphemous!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Spida tries to start the pod with remixes of nursery rhymes but it turns out they are so much cruder than he could say! Producer George than gives his 3, 2, 1 from the week, for the team’s performances. Liam has been a basket case, Spida got better as the week progressed and Leisel Jones takes the win for the energy this week. Liam chooses his Child of the Week and Quinn’s dental bravery takes the award. Leisel has a neighbour that had an embarrassing mispronunciation, so the team hear from the Gold Coast about their tricky words. Scott Pendlebury breaks the AFL games record this weekend and despite retiring almost 20 years ago, Spida played against him! Spida seems to think it would have been the highlight of Pendles’ career & the stats of their matchups is laughable. Finally, Liam had a shocker yesterday on the golf course, losing all of his belongings and being generally all over the shop. It made him realise something about his marriage that he has to delve deeper into… Have a good weekend!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To start the pod we hear if the team has anyone that they need to apologise to! Liam has a big apology to the people living below him in London many years ago. Spida sprays pickleball courts because they are popping up everywhere. It seems like they are the only developments getting approved and going ahead. Hide your Voltaren! Liam has a bone to pick with WhatsApp group messages, saying that people need to take some responsibility for their messaging, then Leisel and Liam get mad at Spida for not showing up to an event last night. He has no excuses. They attended an exclusive event about the top Onlyfans earners in the country... Spida would have stood out like a sore thumb! Early in the show Spida made a claim about coat hangers being shaped into the map of Australia. The others think people had to buy them shaped like that to use as antennas, but Spida is adamant he can do it. Prove it!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Origin Call Up competition is underway & the team name the reliable friend that would answer the call to action, to win origin tickets! They try and call them live to test their loyalty. Leisel is now convinced that her car, which was such a pain to pick up, is a lemon. Chips in the windscreen, scratched paint & losing charge very fast! She needs to take some calls about other people’s lemons, to make her feel better. Titans CEO Steve Mitchell chats to the team about the BIG news this morning that the Titans are heading to Vegas for the 2027 NRL season opener! The synergy between the Goldy and Vegas is real. We are made for it! After the GC’s “Yes” slogan, the team have a decision to make - about an invitation to a premiere of “Turned On: Dirty, Sexy Money’. Spida can’t hack it, but gets roped in! Can’t wait to hear about that tomorrow… Finally, our Origin Call Up today was a son-in-law inviting his mother-in-law to the big game! Do we think he is in the bad books?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Origin Call Up competition is underway & the team name their reliable friend that would answer the call to action, to win origin tickets! Leisel had a horrible car dealership experience & she needs extra time to really vent. It was a comedy of errors that left her waiting for hours to drive away with her new car. Tom Tate joins the show to chat all things Gold Coast, including the new slogan “The city that says yes.” The Mayor chats about what that actually means & hears Leisel’s not-so PG suggestion. Finally, Leisel and Spida are feeling threatened - Liam has new found stardom after his big run. They went to an event yesterday and he was the one getting bailed up in public! Forget 300 AFL games & Olympic Golds… There’s a new star in town. All he needed to do was run an ultra-marathon!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The team answer what their favourite creature comfort is, that they can’t live without. Leisel is a big slippers wearer, Spida loves his trackies and Liam has a special spot on the couch. Spida and Sheree spent 3 hours on Facetime with his grandparents, trying to explain how to load a TV show on Netflix. We all know the feels, with the older generation and constantly changing technology. Leisel is awaiting a new arrival and has been prepping a nursery at her house. Spida has some extra suggestions, to make sure it is properly set up. Liam has returned from his 100-miler as a champion and a success, but it wasn’t all roses and rainbows. He breaks down the race, by the numbers. Finally, the Origin Call Up begins. Full details of how to win your way to Origin 1 in Syndey with Triple M Gold Breakfast. Calls to make the shortlist begin tomorrow!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Liam is out of the studio running 100 miles like an absolute madman. Boston is back from the US and is in the bad books because he wanted his mates to pick him up for the airport. He is only back for a week and said he will only be around for 3 days to see his folks! “I brought you into this world, I’ll take you out of it!” Spida loved Pauline Hanson’s quote about the Budget & the show reflect on the best Aussie politician quotes. It’s Magic Round and Leisel has a plan for getting a win for the Titans. Etsy Witches. Everyone is very confused, but anything is worth a shot for the Titans at this point. Finally, the great Michael Klim joins the show to talk about the Cooly Classic this weekend and his move to QLD.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Liam is about to set off on his 100-mile race. Absolute insanity and the team have some final thoughts. They answer questions about things they would rather do, than run 161km. Fair to say, they would go pretty far… Leisel is worried about getting a new car and the GC make her feel no better by telling their stories about brand new things that they’ve broken. Spida Sprays the Trump Tower news, saying the Gold Coast need foreign investment to make these massive projects go ahead. Liam gives the odds on things that may cause him not to finish this race. His calves, his brain and his bowels are all in the mix. Leisel and Spida put their money on him not finishing… Really optimistic stuff + The politician cheating scandal in Brissy gets the team talking. Do we care? Should we? If it’s impacting their work that’s one thing, but is it our business if they are getting honey where they get money?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The team are asked what body part they are, in the context of the show. Spida: Lungs or Mouth? Liam: Brain or Armpit? Leisel: Skin or Colon? George: Liver or Kidneys? Gorden Tallis joins the show to talk all things Magic Round & Titans! We are right behind the boys as they take on Newcastle on Sunday. Spida is away and using a hire car that is beeping at him every time he opens the door. He has to tell everyone around that he is not stealing it and has to climb out the back door to stop it beeping. A caller joins the show to give Spida the very simple solution… Leisel was pumped for the budget yesterday and spent all day waiting for it to kick off. We’re not sure how far she got through, considering she forgets the name of the Treasurer of Australia… Leisel fills the boys in about all the drama and excitement of the budget last night. Breaking news this morning on the Gold Coast with Trump Tower being scrapped. Spida is fired up! He is not happy with the petition and what this means for the Gold Coast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Liam in charge of Question of the Day asks the team what job they would take in a small town. Cops, publicans, firies, psychologists and plenty more. Leisel is receiving no sympathy and she’s fed up - she wants people to appreciate how bad her ingrown toenail is & to give her the love and care she deserves. Spida and Liam don’t give her anything, so she takes to the phones and gets sympathy from the listeners. They are totally on her side. Financial guru and friend of the show, Scott Phillips, joins to break down the budget tonight and how to best enjoy the “grand final” of Australia’s financial calendar. Leisel has some questions about EV’s & Spida wants to know how anyone could suffer through watching it. Liam has a game for the other two about iconic songs in film. Chemical Brothers “Go” has exploded since the release of Apex and there are so many songs that immediately take you into a scene! Too bad Leisel and Spida are hopeless with movies!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Producer George asks the team if they have heard the “Trifecta Food Theory” that classifies all foods as either a sandwich, salad or soup. The go down a bit of a culinary rabbit hole. They think steak is proof that the theory is incorrect. Liam and his son Mack got attacked by a blind pelican over the weekend & we hear from the Gold Coast about their best animal attack stories. Leisel then breaks down the news about Alexa Leary missing out on the Comm Games team due to her reclassification, what it means for Alexa and how it fits in the context of parasports. Liam thinks it opens a very obvious door for Alexa to be picked up as a broadcaster for the Games! Finally, having a lovely morning for Mother’s Day on Sunday, Spida’s world got turned upside down by 3 simple words when he and Sheree stopped in to a bottle-o. “Just the usual?” What a fool!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday imminent, Spida asks what the world will be like when the team turns 100? Flying cars, augmented reality, space travel? With Mother’s Day on Sunday we hear from the listeners about mum’s important lessons. Attenborough also famously doesn’t have a driver’s licence & the team want to hear from other older non-drivers. Liam picks Mack, against all odds, as his Child of the Week due to his tuckshop order! + Leisel got filthy while turfing her yard and was visiting Bunnings an absolute mess, when an employee offered to hose her down in Bunnings. A service they offer or just an act of charity for someone who obviously needed it…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We hear a not-safe-for-radio response that Spida gave ON TV in 2006, about the thing that first attracted him to Sheree. Diabolical response! The team also discuss whether you would rather be an hour early for everything, or 5 minutes late. Tom Tate has signed on the dotted line (apparently) to make flying taxis happen by 2032. The studio is divided about how realistic it is, but Spida is totally onboard and convinced. Liam thinks he has lost the plot. In 2006 Spida was on Family Feud and Liam found the footage! In a moment that you couldn’t script, Spida is offered the same question as 20 years ago and he answers the same… INCORRECTLY! Shane Jacobson the legend joins the show to chat his new show “Oops I Bought a Pub,” about his recent venture in rural Victoria. Always good for a laugh, Shane may have bitten off more than he can chew in the world of being a publican. Spida Sprays unfinished projects after the new broke that the Inland Rail project is being halted due to cost estimates blowing out to $45 Billion. He has had a gut full of empty promises.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You have 24 hours to run a marathon, drink 24 beers and eat 24 donuts. Can you do it and what’s your strategy? The absolute legend Steph Gilmore joins the show to chat about her 2026 Gold Coast Pro victory, women’s surfing and staying hungry after returning to competition. It’s podium day and in honour of Mother’s day, the team choose their favourite homecooked meals. Leisel’s friend gave away an expensive pair of runners to someone she knows and later saw them on Facebook Marketplace for $20. Play on, or friendship ruiner?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
