Triple M Breakfast with Leisel Jones, Liam and Spida

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!

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!

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.

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?

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.

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!

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!

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…

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.

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?
