On today’s pod, Leisel, Liam & Spida tackle the ultimate music dilemma: if you could only listen to one album forever, what would it be? (Expect some strong picks, from Matchbox 20 to Red Hot Chili Peppers.) Then it’s into the car chaos Queenslanders’ biggest road rage pet peeves, from lazy indicators to rogue utes and tailgaters. Plus, the team busts the myth about Jackie Chan’s “Gold Coast house” that keeps popping up on canal tours. And Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate jumps on to chat Suns finals fever, celebrity spotting, and whether a city-wide day off is on the cards if the Suns go all the way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It’s a big Monday on the Triple M Gold Breakfast Podcast with Leisel Jones, Liam & Spida! Q of the day: would you give up every memory from your past if it meant knowing your future? Plus, we hear listeners’ hilarious (and dangerous!) golf course disasters, celebrate the Suns’ nail-biting finals moment, and meet the lads behind the Sexy Concreters & Tradie Mates Calendar raising money for mental health.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Leisel takes the reins for Q of the Day with a tricky one: Would You Rather - Marry the person you lost your virginity to, or work your first job for the rest of your life? Spida's answer may surprise you... We chat birthday presents that show you're old, all things GC Suns ahead of their biggest game EVER on Saturday + we wish a happy Father's Day to our dads - especially to Brett Beasley, who was honoured as Community Father of the Year for his tireless work on the back of unimaginable tragedy. Enjoy the Pod!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We get a glimpse into the team's head with Question of the Day: If you woke up and everyone could hear your thoughts, what places would you avoid going? We then hear from Tom Tate in the wake of recent Light Rail news and Dreamworld plans. While he’s at it, Spida takes the chance to get Tom’s endorsement as King of the North… Can he get it? Plus, the news cycle went into a spin over Reece Walsh’s dunny dive – the team break it down before Spida continues his royal campaign but starting to carve out his Kingdom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Question of the Day takes the team all over the place: If you were able to talk to any object, what would you choose? Their answers go from questionable to down-right dirty. Then we hear from Leisel about how a birthday Ladies' Lunch blew up in her face & Spida makes official his push to be "King of the North" to fill the void of northern Gold Coast Ambassadors. Would you pledge your allegiance to King Spida?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The AFL Minor Round season has been completed and the Western Bulldogs miss out on playing finals after a surprising Freo win away from home.Spida shares his All-Australian team after Brody did his last week. The lads discuss who wins the club b&fs and what really happens on a mad monday.Tune in!
Big Friday energy on a Thursday, thanks to the Gold Coast Show Holiday Tomorrow! The team get nostalgic answering the Question of the Day: if you woke up six years old again, what would you do? Expect roller skates, BMXs, beach days and even “Apple & Banana” childhood nicknames. Then it gets real with heart-stopping (and hilarious) stories of lost kids in hotels, lifts and K-Marts. Plus, Spida's old mate Wayne Campbell, now GM of Footy at the Gold Coast Suns, joins the show after their historic first-ever finals berth. Strap in.. it’s a mix of laughs and celebration!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Producer Joolz confesses to being that person at the airport with a full toilet-roll trail stuck to her shoe. The team spiral into the bizarre world of “flaming…” (yeah, you’ll just have to hear it). Then local legends Ash & Jace from Gold Coast fashion label Sabbi join the show to chat about their viral new Grocery Line Club collection and give Spida the makeover we never thought possible. Yes, there’s leopard print. Yes, his ears don’t suit hats. And yes, he got wolf-whistled. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It’s a packed pod today! The team debates the ultimate question: could you live without books, movies, or music? We’re also joined by Gold Coast couple Sonny & Alicia from The Block ahead of tonight’s fiery “Fight Night” episode. And after last night’s Margarita Monday for Leisel's 40th Birthday, Spida makes his big (and disastrous) margarita debut while Leisel powers through party week - next stop, Timezone Tuesday with the Triple M Gold Fam Bam.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It’s Friday fun with Leisel, Liam & Spida! We dream big on what we’d blow double the income on.. from cowgirl art to backyard gyms and boujee saunas. Liam revisits the very illegal car window boob theory (yes, it’s back and even on TV now) and we chat with Jesse Hooper from Killing Heidi ahead of their Gold Coast gig.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What if it was illegal not to be covered in tattoos? The team reveal what artwork they’d choose.. ranging from pin-up girls to Sudoku puzzles! Plus, Leisel gets teary over a runaway RoboVac, Spida introduces us to “Brian,” and listeners confess their unhealthy attachments to their cleaning machines. Would you name yours? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Deep breaths everyone... The final round of the AFL season is upon us with plenty to play for (for 9 teams anyway).Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera signs the biggest contract per year in AFL history. Spida and Brodes have their say on the Izak Rankine suspension. Who leads the Brownlow leading into the final round? Tune in for all this and MORE!
Producer Joolz cops heat for being “fashionably late” before the team debates which Olympic event you could enter and guarantee not to come dead last. Then, fresh off her win, Miss Universe Australia 2025 Lexie Brant joins the studio with her crown, her boyfriend’s new nickname, and a whole lot of sparkle. And finally, Spida goes on a passionate rant about South Australia banning the iconic little soy sauce fish.. could Queensland be next?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A fresh week kicks off with the crew “stealing” each other’s best abilities, from Olympic swimming to Spida’s handyman skills. The Gold Coast’s newest battle heats up: jet skis vs stand-up paddleboards, and Spida has a wild plan to settle it. Leisel shares her run-in with a booze bus and Liam’s daughter Quinn turns 9 with a birthday dinner order that cost Liam a small fortune.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Leisel, Liam and Spida reveal just how much the AFL is paying to get Snoop Dogg on the Grand Final stage and why the NRL might have to think outside the box (and budget) to compete. Plus the crew imagines their own $69.95 live show setlists, debates the fastest way to rip a Band-Aid, and builds the most chaotic “Trigger Songs” party playlist ever, from YMCA to Motley Crüe to Fatboy Slim.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Fresh from their mid-year break, Leisel, Liam & Spida hit the ground running, straight into one of life’s toughest hypotheticals: would you rather be blocked up forever or… have an “accident” every time you sneeze? Leisel shares tales from her zen Kiwi retreat, where she unexpectedly met someone who’s presided over all of Spida’s AFL tribunal dramas. There’s juicy Gold Coast gossip about Bailey Smith and Tammy Hembrow, plus the moment Leisel derailed Liam’s live footy call.. not for sports updates, but to suss out if the handsome umpire was single. It’s cheeky, chaotic and oh-so Goldy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Patrick Voss asserts himself as the greatest goalkicker to run out on the MCG. Spida comes to us live from Thailand at a Muay Thai camp. Yes, you read that correctly. Turns out the weatherman is wrong in every country.Crows are the real deal. Tune in for all this and more!
It’s the last show before the crew heads off for a break and chaos reigns supreme. With Leisel still off sick, Spida and Liam go full rogue, imagining what their lives would look like if they joined the circus (hint: it's a mess of baggy pants, broken rhythms, and ringmaster delusions). Producer Joolz joins in for Question of the Day, and somehow we land on Leisel dressed as a Yowie, haunting endurance runners in the hinterland. (Spida's idea you think?) But just as the rumours hit fever pitch, Leisel calls in to reveal the truth behind her absence and gives us a sneak peek at her epic 40th birthday plans: Four parties. 4 Days. For Forty. Plus: We chat to Jordan from The Morning Shift about kicking off their world tour right here on the Gold Coast and why he thinks this place might actually be New Zealand’s secret capital.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In today’s episode of The Liesel Jones, Liam & Spida Podcast (without Leisel again) Spida pitches another bizarre theory involving dolphins and the team dives into the ultimate hypothetical: if you could steal one athlete’s skill or ability, what would it be? From Tiger Woods’ golf game to Killian Jornet’s mountain goat stamina, no sport is off limits. Spida's fear of heights derails an entire VR team bonding session. We also check in with Carl Domjan, Head of Propulsion at Gilmore Space to find out why the Gold Coast rocket launch was delayed (spoiler: it’s not the big mango’s fault). And finally, we hear some hilarious stories of holiday mishaps including one epic passport blunder in Vietnam.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Leisel’s still away, but Spida's imagination is definitely not. Today he’s convinced she’s trading Olympic gold for a pair of boxing gloves and stepping into the ring with Paul Gallen. Is it true? Probably not. But is it wildly entertaining? Absolutely. Meanwhile, Joolz rolls in late again, looking like a human highlighter, and the team dives headfirst into building their dream burgers. From Liam’s chip medley and Spidas questionable “alpinos” to Liams spicy mayo obsession, it’s enough to make you hungry and concerned. Then it’s all about those misheard lyrics you’ve been belting out wrong for years. Think “Hold me close, I’m tired of dancing” or “We built Knox City with sausage rolls.” Listener Rod even rewrote an entire Green Day song as a tribute to Shane Warne, and honestly… it slaps.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
No Liesel? Spida’s has a theory... that she’s launched herself into orbit to belt out a Michael Bolton song. Producer Joolz asks the big question: What would you do if you heard an intruder in your house at night? Liam’s response involves heroic parenting and becoming a human door wedge. We dive into Kmart’s controversial car chip & dip holder - genius or dangerous distraction? The team brainstorms the ultimate ‘eat-while-you-drive’ inventions (Sushi holders? Automatic lolly dispensers? Bibs from the ceiling?! Yes, really) Plus, Carlos in Labrador wins the day with a chip hack that’s pure McGenius.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Liam shares the trauma of getting knock-and-runned while home alone (and full of pizza), Leisel outs herself as an AI addict, and Spida admits he’s gone from footy champ to ChatGPT-dependent road trip planner. Plus, surf guru Reg Prasad drops by for salty advice on ocean therapy, creepy surf vans, and getting your kids to send you to the Maldives (seriously). And yep – someone broke up using ChatGPT… and forgot to delete the prompt. Cringe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We celebrate a historic State of Origin Game 3 win - sorry NSW listeners, you may want to skip ahead. We hear from a chafed but cheerful Luke Bradnam post-marathon and Liesel takes us inside her hilariously uncomfortable spa experience at a Gold Coast bathhouse. Plus, Producer Joolz poses the ultimate question: If your personality were a snack, what would it be? Maxibons, nachos, and surprisingly divisive egg & lettuce sandwiches all get a shout-out. It's footy, food and awkward poolside silence, ha!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We kick off with a fun twist: What’s the one movie or show you wish you could erase from your memory just to experience it again for the first time? From Search Party to Happy Gilmore, the gang dives deep. Leisel opens up about re-entering the dating scene and reveals the staggering number of likes she scored in just one hour on a dating app (hint: it's over 400
Spida admits he wore headphones to the gym for the first time ever… and instantly felt like a massive tosser. We explore the unwritten gym rules, headphone etiquette, and whether "headphones = wanker" is a fair call.

"I didn't expect to be Donovan Mitchell...It all started with a dream on a boat." Donovan Mitchell is making history this NBA season, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to unprecedented heights. With a record-breaking 15-game winning streak, the team is off to its best start in franchise history, surpassing even the heights of the LeBron era. As the Cavs embark on this historical start to the season, the 5x NBA All Star sits down with Ryan, Fred, and Channing to unpack what's fueling the Cavs' dominance this season, shedding some insight on the team's mentality, lessons learned through past losses and what the future holds on this episode of The Pivot Podcast in partnership with Fanatics. Mitchell highlights the team-first mentality instilled by Coach Atkinson, whose philosophy of playing with pace and building good habits has created a winning environment. While he understands the undefeated record won't last forever, Mitchell opens up about the unique chemistry in the Cleveland locker room, where egos are left at the door and players genuinely root for one another—a dynamic that Mitchell believes will help them achieve something special and push through times of adversity. But basketball is just part of Mitchell's story that we discuss in this conversation as the All Star reflects on personal milestones he's accomplished in his 28 years of life, from buying his mom a house to fulfilling a childhood dream to opening an athletic center at his alma mater hoping to inspire the next generation. In an emotional moment of reflection, Mitchell shares how his grandmother paved the way for him and his family to have the opportunity to turn big dreams into reality, never forgetting where he came from. He shares how growing up between a low-income neighborhood in NYC and the affluent Brewster Academy in Connecticut shaped his work ethic and exposed him to the world, teaching him the value of opportunity and harsh reality of culture and status. The guys go back to Mitchell's college years where his pride in his roots and his admiration for fellow Louisville star, Lamar Jackson, as Mitchell's inspiration from the quarterback originated by him having a front row seat to Jackson's success and rise from an underestimated prospect to 2x NFL MVP. But with all the highs and accolades earned, Mitchell opens up about the lessons he's learned from tough losses- especially during his time with the Utah Jazz- and how those moments have made him a stronger player and better leader. Now, as he steers the Cavs through a historic season, Mitchell is focused on leaving a legacy that extends beyond the court, using his platform to empower others and make a lasting impact.

Donovan Mitchell is one of the biggest superstars in the NBA. The guys chop it up about Spida's injury during the playoffs, the best guards in the NBA, and Jalen vs. Dak. After the interview, Don takes Gillie and Wallo to his old school to give them a shooting lesson. That turned in Spida cooking both the guys. Gillie held his own and Wallo did what Wallo does… got lucky and banked a few shots. Afterwards, Donovan took us next door to see the new basketball gym he is building at his old high school, Greenwich Country Day School.
