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.

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.

Liesel’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.
