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.

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.

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.

One of our listeners accidentally chucked out a winning lottery ticket.. yep, straight into the bin! So we dive headfirst into the world of rubbish rescues. What’s the weirdest or most desperate thing you've ever dug through a dirty bin for? Some of the stories are gold (literally)
Plus, Liam shares his very honest thoughts on the dreaded alternate drop menu… and let’s just say, he’s not a fan.

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.

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!

It’s Origin Decider Day and we’re fired up! Ahead of Game 3, the team dives into pre-game entertainment (Brad Cox.. yay or nay?) and who should really be rocking that stage. Plus, footy legend Wally Lewis joins the show for a red-hot preview of the Blues vs Maroons showdown in Sydney.

Meanwhile, things get weird (in the best way) with Producer Joolz's Question of the Day: If you could swap lives with someone in your phone contacts for 24 hours, who would it be? The answers range from billionaires and Triple M bosses to Olympic skateboarders and camel wranglers. Yes, really.

And in a whale-sized dose of good news, marine researcher Laura Torre Williams joins us to confirm an extraordinary event, a baby humpback calf born right here off the Gold Coast! We talk whale births, swimming lessons for newborns, and why the Gold Coast Bay is now officially a maternity ward for whales.

What would you rather face: 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck? Producer Joolz gets roasted over her "ChatGPT-inspired" hypothetical question. Plus, we dive into a debate about which sense we'd be willing to lose (turns out, smell has very few fans).

Then, Olympian and X Games champion Chloe Covell joins us live in studio with her mum Julie for a chat that’s as inspiring as it is hilarious. From training at busy public skate parks (and accidentally taking out toddlers) to becoming a playable character in the new Tony Hawk Pro Skater game, Chloe proves she's not just one of the best in the world, she’s one of the coolest.

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 😲). And things really heat up when the CEO of the Gold Coast Marathon calls in with a VIP invite and a cheeky matchmaking idea.

To top it off, it’s the Great Debate: Do headphones make you a tosser at the gym? Spida says yes. Leisel says absolutely not. You decide.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. 🎧

It’s also Throwback Thursday, so we’re talking first-ever jobs.. from dipping bananas in chocolate at The Big Banana at age 10 to slicing Devon at Chaddy Coles.

And finally, the Gold Coast Marathon is around the corner, so Spida reveals which suburbs would smash it, and which ones would fall apart before the wall at 32km. Burleigh’s too busy selfie-ing, Sanctuary Cove can’t bring their golf buggies, and Coomeras built for sprinting, not marathons.
