The Get This... team is fronted by Tony Martin. He is an overweight and stubbled Richmond Tigers fan. He wrote and starred in the films Crackerjack and Boytown. In TV circles, he is known as the host of a shortlived Channel Nine talk show who simulated air synth on stage moments before Kerry Packer rang the studio and said, "Who is this Nick Kershaw!". Tony Martin is often mistaken for his former colleague Mick Molloy. This is ironic because Molloy is extremely underweight and of small stature. Some argue that if Molloy had been involved in writing Crackerjack or Boytown said movies would have been of a higher class and slightly more funny. Unlike Martin, Molloy would not know who the Richmond Tigers were if they were biting his backside; he is too busy recording the 7:30 report and Lateline to pursue such sporting endeavours. Martin's sidekick is Ed "Meatpie" Kavalee (born Led Kava), an animal rights activist who tries to get under the skin of the PETA crew by promoting KFC in a series of homoerotic TV ads, and by videoing himself dressed in a panda suit promoting man and animal love. He also aggravates PETA by re-enacting the childhood of several prominent serial killers. Specifically, he videos himself torturing kittens and uploads that on Youtube. He hopes that one particular video of him skinning a live rlsand is used as an alias. Ed one day hopes he will become a successful singer. He has already written a book nae a bible on NDF for which has won him a Nobel Peace Prize. Richard Marsland (not his real name) contributes to the mayhem with his anecdotes about life in Adelaide and his appearances on Rove Live, Channel Ten's answer to UKTV's Birds of a Feather. His best contribution so far has been his review of Adelaide Beats, a subect every visitor to the City of Churches should be familiar with. Marsland appreciates the practical nature of the Satiny Kaftan when using a beat because there is little time to mess around with belts and zippers. Marsland was a victim of Uncyclopedia's alternate reality (aka Wikipedia), being banned from the site after several of his real names were released to the public. Among his true monikers are Mission to Marsland, Veronica Marsland and Shock Jock Richard Marsland. The name Richard Marlsand is used as an alias. Under one of his real identities, Marsland likened women to pieces of uncovered meat. He has also had a feature on his morning show A.M (All Marsland) Adelaide where he would whip and later woo his co host, Anne Wills. Many people have been considered the mysterious Fourth Member of Get This... The most likely candidates are Pete Best, Stuart Sutcliffe, Winkie Dink and Brian De Palma. No definitive answer couldbe given by the time that Get This... was disbanded. The collapse came about largely due to intereference from Japanese conceptual artist Yoko Ono, who started dating one of the crew. "How would you like to hear some old-school shit?

Get This was an Australian Radio show that aired on the Triple M network from 2006 to 2007. It started off as a 1 hour show but was upgraded to 2 hours in 2007. The show was hosted by Tony Martin and Ed Kavalee (with Richard Marsland on the buttons). A guest host came in each day (only for the 2nd hour during '07). Despite the show growing in popularity and increasing Ratings, the show was axed at the end of 2007 making it Too Good to Last. The show was known for it's regular radio sketches usually of a topical nature concerning things ranging from political issues to parodies of BritComs. Many of which spawned CatchPhrases which often get repeated during discussion on the show or even developing Memetic Mutation and reoccuring in subsequent sketches and used for quick sound bites that regularly punctuated jokes told by people on the show. Get This also put out a regular Podcast containing sketches (at least the ones that didn't contain copyrighted material) or discussed topics from previous shows. Tony would often put in over time to get the podcasts coming out on a semi regular basis along with ringtones created from popular sound bites and individual sketches for download from the website. The end of each show Tony would sign off with a phrase or soundbite from the show that tickled his love rod. * The Ahnold: Tony's Arnold Schwarzenegger impression would sometimes get a run. * Anyone Remember Pogs: Tony regularly invoked this trope, but Ed actually broached the subject of Pogs once. * Amusing Injuries: Ooh Me Plums! * Ass Shove: Richard's alleged flag-waving antics are documented in an interview with then-Prime Minister John Howard in Podcast 51. * As You Know: "Hi, I'm Richard..." * Awful British Sex Comedy: a favourite topic, especially when Ross Noble would pop by. * Bait and Switch * Bested At Bowling: or at table tennis, as the case turned out to be. * Biting the Hand Humor: Tony, Ed, and Richard would often make fun of Triple M's music library, particularly the heavy repetition of songs. * In 2006 it was anything by Nickleback, and James Blunt's Wiseman; in 2007 Hinder and Mika were the the targets of much vitriol. * Bottom of the Barrel Joke: Towards the end of the show's tenure, Fridays were taglined "all jokes must go!", with Tony insisting that all the really bad jokes should be saved for Friday, after the week was over and they had run out of all other material. * Breathless Non-Sequitur: Tony's very, very good at these. * Broken Record * Cannot Tell a Joke: Ed can tell jokes, but many of his own sketches were ruined by his own lack of organisation and planning, and turned out being funnier in 'ruined' form than if they had gone according to plan. * Catch Phrase: * Car Meets House: Get This would always be on the lookout for stories about cars being driven into houses, so long as no-one was injured. * Chain of Corrections * Comeback Tomorrow * Convenience Store Gift Shopping: Some of the earliest Talkback Mountain prizes were purchased from what Ed called a 'variety gift emporium' (in reality, a two-dollar store). * Cult Classic * Defictionalization: Shaft of Hope. * Digging Yourself Deeper * Disorganized Outline Speech: most things that fell out of Ed's mouth (that weren't half-eaten sandwiches). * Distracted by the Sexy * Dodgy Toupee: At the end of Podcast 96, a whole segment is dedicated to ranking the dodgiest hairpieces in the movie business. * Don't Explain the Joke * Ear Worm: All of the songs sung (and then repeated ad neusem at Ed and Richard's expense). * Nights in white satin, never reaaaaaaaaching the end, something or rather, something else. * The Vengabus is coming and everybody's running from north to south Ibiza, in the Mediterrainian suuuuun. * Your body is a wonderland... * Flowers, flowers drifting by the paa-aaane! In mah dreams, so sweet, flowers red, blue and piii-iink! * I'm with me wiiii-ife, but nobody knows who I am so I'm the papers pretending to like foot-baaaaaall. * Edited for Syndication: When the show expanded into a two-hour format in 2007, Triple M Adelaide continued to broadcast only the first hour, with all mentions of upcoming guests in the second hour edited out. * Executive Meddling: The hosts often discussed, on-air, notes and "suggestions" the higher-ups tried to give them. * An example in Podcast 107 was when the higher-ups at Triple M criticized them for not generating enough "watercooler talk", this only resulted in several sketches involving two blokes standing around discussing an actual water cooler. * Everybody Owns a Ford: ...or a Mercedes Benz Vito. Or a Nissan Navara. * Fake Brit: One of the funniest parts of Ooh Me Plums (Besides the whole Groin injuries in polite society thing). * Ed often points out that Tony always sings in a fake British accent. * Failure Is the Only Option * Fan Nickname: Ricky M, Armitage Shanks, Dick Bar, Marslando Calrissian... the amount was insane (and encouraged by Ed) for Richard, here's a list (that only starts scraping the surface) * Follow Up Failure * Funny Aneurysm Moment: In one 2007 show, Richard Marsland makes fun of newsreader Charmaine Dragun's unusual name. Both Marsland and Dragun have since fallen victim to depression and committed suicide. * Also, any reference Richard made to his own death. A particularly uncomfortable example is when he quipped that the "In Memoriam" segment of the 2007 Logies went on so long that he started expecting to see his own name come up. Sadly, that came true just two years later. * Unfortunately this comes up a lot with Ricky M. The "I'm an Iced Coffee powered suicide machine" line from the Police Ten 7 sketch and Richard saying that he would like to have kids at some stage. * Exactly 12 minutes into Podcast 52, Tony plays the sound of a heavy rain storm and taunts "How do you like that, Brisbane?" Cue the Queensland floods of 2011, where Brisbane was massively devistated. * Grand Finale * Heh, Heh, You Said "X" * In a World: The Districts Swiftest Indian parodies this. * Insane Proprietor: A semi-regular topic of discussion on the show. And Track 2 of Illegal Download discusses the inherent problems in dealing with someone insane enough to deliver such brain snapping bargains. * I Was Young and Needed the Money: Ed's exact excuse when confronted with the skeleton in his closet, Meat Pie. * Memetic Mutation: * Ratings * Recap Episode: Often the episode after a time slot change will be filled with explanations of why people are suddenly yelling Assault! Assault! on air. * Melodramatic Pause * Never Say That Again: That first Rex Hunt clip in 2006. The Triple M monkey, Barry. Upskirting and downblousing. And anything that would conjur up the opening bars of Toto's 'Africa'. * Perfectly Cromulent Word: Ed's 'elephantile'. * The Promise * Quote Mine * Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: Pfffft! Splunk! Flumph! Or most memorably, WANK! * Screwed by the Network * Spiritual Successor: Get This has one in the form of Nova FM's Summer Lovin' Podcast, which started in mid-December 2010 and is hosted by Tony and Ed, with Matt Dower producing. * And in 2011, Tony and Ed hosted The Joy Of Sets, with can best be described as Get This meets The Soup. * Station Ident * That Came Out Wrong: Richard Marsland accidentally called a Heinz brand's of baked beans Indian Muncher instead of Indian Snatcher. * That Was Not a Dream: usually Ed and often Tony, reflecting on another sketch-gone-horribly-wrong. * The Teaser * Unusual Euphemism
