Get This (2006-) is an comedic radio talk show, broadcast around Australia, 9am-10am weekdays, on Triple M, which is part of the Austereo Network. It is hosted by Tony Martin (of Martin/Molloy fame), and co-hosted by Ed Kavalee.
Guest hosts
The show's great premise is to rotate co-hosts. Every day is a new guest host. Some of the featured co-hosts have been Richard E. Grant, Chris Isaak, Ross Noble, Dylan Moran, Bert Newton, Peter Rowsthorn, Julia Zemiro, Tom Gleisner, Rob Sitch, Jane Kennedy, Santo Cilauro, Angus Sampson, Fifi Box, Marty Sheargold, Pete Smith, Greg Fleet, Dave Graney, Lachy Hulme, Tim Rogers, Cal Wilson, Bob Franklin, Glenn Robbins, Ben Elton and even Tony's own sister, violinist Kerry Martin.The show is different every day, depending on the co-host's expertise. Martin also creates comedy sketches that include edited recordings of politicians of the day and musical parodies. He will even go as far as to ridicule his co-hosts on a daily basis, though it is Kavalee who garners the most abuse.
Segments
Talkback Mountain is the portion of the show that involves the listeners calling in the give their own opinion or story. "Prize King" Ed Kavalee awards prizes to the callers, and never fails to give them something completely useless.Big topics on the show are movies, current affairs, lack of programming originality, Tony and Ed's own lives, funny news articles from around the world, "celebrity insiders", Rex Hunt, and the much overplayed Nickelback.
Notable events
During the recent FIFA World Cup, Get This turned the spotlight on Togo's German football coach Otto Pfister, with Kavalee's "Constant Pfister Updates", invented headlines such as "Pfisticuffs!" and Martin's song tributes "Pfister in the Sun", "Magical Pfistery Tour", "Pfister Madly" and "Let's Pfist Again".External links
