* ChekhovsBoomerang: The film ''Film/{{Boytown}}'', in a bizarre real life version of this trope. It was a huge part of the show's beginning, as Tony and Ed first met during the filming, and many of the early and the most frequently recurring guest hosts were either stars of the film on to promote it, or friends that Tony and Ed made during the production. More than a year later, the film -- more specifically, ''the special features on the film's DVD'' -- created a massive rift between Tony and Mick Molloy, his longtime collaborator and the film's co-writer/producer. [[labelnote:Context]]Tony was hired to make ''[=BoyTown=] Confidential'' a {{Mockumentary}} on the eponymous BoyBand for the DVD, but the Molloys cancelled the project, claiming it was due to a lack of post-production funding. [[https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/?nk=839c195e086f52b7c51df7a8c6ea598a-1603684272 When Tony stated that he would have been willing to fund it himself]], it led to speculation that the real reason it was cancelled was to prevent it from upstaging ''[=BoyTown=]'' itself. Tony and Mick have not worked together since.

* DeadAir: Certainly not usually a problem, but referred to and played with. Tony speculated what Triple M's current emergency broadcast song was (claiming it used to be The Eagle's Hotel California) that would kick in after a period of on-air silence.

** And in 2011, Tony and Ed hosted ''TheJoyOfSets'', with can best be described as ''Get This'' [[XMeetsY meets]] ''Series/TheSoup''.

* TheOtherWiki: When Tony and Ed learned of the rampant Wiki vandalisation that was happening on the ''Get This'' page, they were delighted and encouraged all their listeners to get in on the act. It even spread to other, vaguely related pages, such as people editing Karl Stefanovic's page to say he's a robot, replace his picture with that of [[StarWars C-3PO]] or suggest that he has been subject to a product recall. As of June 2015, ''said article remains locked explicitly to prevent this type of vandalism.''

-->'''Tony''': And he'll often just wear a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Mokbel Mokbel]] for a whole movie. ''[[NationalTreasure National Treasure]]'', what was going on there?

-->'''Tony''': [[JohnTravolta Travolta]], most suspicious hair. [[NicolasCage Cage]], second most suspcious.

''GetThis'' 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.
