I posted this to my blog, it happened this morning. Nice to know there are still some fans out there.

I am a fan of the greatest show to have ever been on radio in the world. Get This ran for two years 2006-2007, and even now, two years later, I can listen to any one of the 162(+1) podcasts and always find myself laughing uncontrollably. The show has had such an influence on my life, I usually drop in a Get This reference to just about every blog entry I do. For other fans of the show, they will understand this blog post, for anyone else, I suggest you get the podcasts, put them on your Pot/Kettle, and enjoy the show.

Today while out doing some shopping, a woman was talking, on the loudish side, on her mobile phone. Ignoring the obvious lack of knowledge she had for AGC (Automatic Gain Control), I could not help but overhear the following line, which lead to a very Get This moment:

* Woman: How are the dogs, how are Paris and Toto?
* At this point, nay on a millisecond later, the PA system in the store starts playing “Africa” by Toto.
* I say half under my breath “Marsland!”
* At which point a guy in the next aisle calls out “Get This!” Before laughing his head off.

I know it is a “you had to be there” thing, but it certainly made my day, and it is great that a show that ended two years ago is still making me smile.

Hi all, I'm absolutely busting to find out the original piece of music whenever Ed used to announce his prizes. Does anyone also know where the music from the infamous Warrick Capper calls were sourced? I've been trying to track it down for months to no avail. I really hope someone can at least identify one of them.

a more creative response from the fleetman would have been nice but it still made me chuckle.

g'day,

i was wondering how much it would cost me to get Greg stripping in my garage whilst juggling an assortment of self help books and mayonnaise to the soundtrack of pirates of the Caribbean.
also would it be possible to book delivery man 2 to iron my socks?

cheers...

Yes, she does exist. I got some photos of the last show from in the MMM studio from a friend of a friend (of a friend). Obviously I can't, and wont, publish them without permission, but she looks real to me :)

Anyone interested in a signed copy of T-Marts new book A Nest of Occasionals? Well get your butts down to Knox City Shopping Centre Victoria, purchase his book at the very reasonable and bargain price of something dollars and something something cents, get it signed and you too will have the privilage of show and telling your collectors item to all your "friends". I'll be there and there's no doubt i'll be getting my rocks off...

Now that full episodes are readily available (thanks, guys!), how about a complete episode guide? I'm thinking a wiki page for each show, with a reasonably detailed listing of topics of conversation, etc., and a cross-index for things like sketches that appear several times.

For example, I just happened to think of the "Watersports" bit. I'm giggling just thinking about it. I'd love to be able to do a quick search and put that episode on the iPod for tomorrow's commute.

So that's what I'm doing:

http://jumperpants.info/wiki/Main_Page

And to start with, I'm halfway through annotating my all-time favorite episode, which I was listening to when I hatched this whole plan: http://jumperpants.info/wiki/Episode_74 .

I'm making it ad-free. I happen to run a server anyway, so (assuming traffic is reasonable) hosting shouldn't be a problem.

If you feel like joining in, especially if you have serious wiki experience with things like templates, that would be terrific.

P.s.: "Watersports" (tee hee) is in the 17 July 2007 ep. I had to find it the hard way.

I'm a week or two late watching this. I freaked out when I saw The Tone as Vince Colossimo's character's gay partner. He did a fine job for such a small role, and a different direction for him! He looked quite tall for some reason, and perhaps not as rake-thin as we're accustomed to.

He had more on-screen time than when he was that Russian waiter in the final episode of "Newstopia" and he muttered "Selwyn Froggitt" under his breath.

For all those looking for the files once made available at yellowbelliedblacksnake.info, I have good news (and boy do we need it right now).

I have finished uploading the 2006 episodes to a free hosting service. They can be found by follwing this link: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=c4dd4fb09f35098291b20cc0d07ba4d258a48aef1753be4d

Now, please keep in mind that these episodes have not been labelled properly (original file names from yellowbelliedblacksnake.info) so to be able to play them in proper chronological order you may have to arrange the mp3s into the proper folders by month on your Hard Drive like I've shown (I didn't bother with a playlist file this time around. Sorry).

I'm going to take a quick break from uploading (my ADSL has been tied up due to this) and then continue with the 2007 episode a bit later. Those will take much longer to do as they are larger files but I will let everyone know when they are done.

Check back here in a week for the 2007 shows...
