The Hamish & Andy Show (Hamish and Andy), is an Australian radio show created by and starring comedic duo Hamish Blake & Andy Lee. It was broadcast on the Today Network to every state in Australia as well as the ACT for two hours in the key weekday afternoon drivetime slot. Since 3 December 2010, it has moved to Friday shows only. It is also broadcast in New Zealand and Dubai as a weekly highlights package. In late 2009, a 3 hour special entitled 'Hamish and Andy's Midwinter Warmer' was broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC6 Music.

The show is the highest-rating radio series in Australian history, consistently gaining up to 20% market share in the crucial Melbourne market. The show has approximately 2.7 million listeners, and has over 1 million podcast downloads each week.

Blake and Lee announced in August 2010, they would be cutting down to a weekly show in 2011, due to wanting to pursue other ideas that had previously been pushed aside due to the daily radio show. The final daily program aired on the third of December in Melbourne as part of their Thank You Tour. Fifi Box and Jules Lund have been announced as hosts of drive from Monday to Thursday.

2000's Notable activities

The Peoples' Chip

Main article: The People's Chip

Hamish & Andy ran a competition to invent a new flavour of potato crisp. They eventually invented gravy flavour. 495 packets were manufactured and distributed for free. After the flavour became popular, a further 60,000 packets of the crisps were manufactured and again distributed for free.

It was later announced that the gravy chip would be sold in stores all around Australia for a two week trial period starting from 11 August for people who did not receive a packet of gravy chips.

The People's Greyhound

Main article: Fred Basset (greyhound)

In September 2006, the duo purchased a greyhound and named it Fred Basset, after the comic strip character of the same name.

Afghanistan

In April 2008, the duo travelled to Afghanistan and performed their show live (except for the Friday show) alongside Australian soldiers.

The trip to Afghanistan was first instigated when the duo received an email from an Australian soldier serving overseas, excited about hearing The Hamish & Andy Show at his base. The letter opened discussion of whether the show should go overseas and broadcast with the troops.

Hamish & Andy, after contacting the Australian Defence Force several times, were told that they would be able to broadcast in an overseas location where the troops were serving.

Caravan of Courage

Main:Caravan of Courage (series)

In October 2007, Hamish & Andy set out on their Caravan of Courage trip in an attempt to "hug" Australia, with the intention of travelling from Perth to Brisbane and visiting many small towns that do not typically receive tourist recognition along the way.

Caravan of Courage 3: Yes We Van

Main:Caravan of Courage (series)

Hamish and Andy announced (via a "family meeting") on the 5 August 2009 show that they wanted to go on a two-week caravan trip in America, driving from Miami to Los Angeles. They then decided that America isn't big on caravans and are looking at getting a camper van instead and, after three shows, settled on the name "Yes We Van" as a pun on the iconic quote by Obama, "yes we can". Other names included "We Come From A Van Down Under", "The United States of Ameri-Caravan", "RV There Yet?" and "American We Do It, Yes We Van". Grumpy Dave initially said no to the idea but after his job was threatened by his boss, "The Chairman", on air he then gave the green light. The duo also got written approval from Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and a blessing from the United States Embassy to travel across America. The unofficial purpose of the trip was to win $9,000 in Las Vegas playing Blackjack in order to buy a Hoverboard. They raised $1,000 in pledges by enlisting the help of 10,000 people donating a maximum of 10 cents each, doing so by hosting a mock 'pledge drive'. However, they did not end up winning the money.

On 10 May, Hamish and Andy announced they were taking the caravan out for a fourth time for a "family holiday" to Great Britain and Ireland. They first completed a lap of Ireland and then visited England, Scotland and Wales. The caravan they travelled in was decided by Hamish throwing a dart at a dartboard with pictures of four different vans. The dart landed on the Renault CI Cipro 85. They named it Sir Vancelot after Sir Lancelot, a character in the Arthurian legend.

The Tall Ship Adventure; Open Your Buccaneers Tasmania

In March 2009, to commemorate the show beginning broadcasting to Tasmania, Hamish and Andy traveled in a tall ship from Melbourne to Hobart crossing the Bass Strait. They traveled on the Windward Bound (renamed the "Taully Shore" by Hamish), a 200 year old tall ship. During the crossing off Bass Strait they encountered heavy storms and seas reaching 8 metres. They chose Naval ranks out of a hat. Hamish picked Rear Admiral while Andy picked Commodore. Hamish was known to often give commands to Andy one of which was to marry a rat. The pair dressed up in 18th century uniforms consisting of a cutlass each and a uniform. To commemorate the occasion, the two put together a "treasure chest" of collectible items such as recordings of their shows and other miscellaneous items like pieces of leather and a poker set. The chest was later given to the Hobart Council, who later auctioned off the chest with its contents and the money was donated to charity. The chest is now owned by a private collector.

Unessential Listening

The duo released a compilation album of segments from their radio show, Unessential Listening, in 2008 on Roadshow Music. The album peaked at number five on the Australian Top 100 Albums Chart, received platinum certification by the Australian Recording Industry Association and went on to win Best Comedy Release at the ARIA Music Awards of 2009.

BYO Pool Party

On 4 December 2009, Hamish and Andy celebrated the final show of the year with a BYO Pool Party. The free event was located at Dawes Point, Sydney. The entire pool party was streamed via the internet for listeners who were unable to attend, marking the first live Hamish and Andy video stream. The John Butler Trio and Powderfinger were house bands at the event.

The Peoples' Bull

Hamish & Andy announced on 20 January 2010 that they had found a competition in the newspaper "Stock & Land" to win a bull worth $6,000. They have enlisted the help of the listeners to collect the 4 weekly coupons required to enter, for the winner to share the bull with the listeners. On 22 February 2010, it was discovered that the two didn't win the bull, nor did anybody else who committed to collect coupons to represent Hamish & Andy.

Hamish and Andy are Dads!

Hamish and Andy adopted two girls to see how they would go down as fathers in 2007.

Conjoined Twins

Hamish and Andy accidentally offended a listener when talking about conjoined twins and thus took on the challenge to be physically conjoined by a specially made outfit for nearly a week which ended on a Rove episode in 2007. Hamish was on the right side and Andy was on the left side.

Freeating

The duo decided to eat only free food for a week in 2009 as they noticed that there was a lot of free food around. They could not purchase food, receive food from family or friends, steal food, or eat food already in their houses. They finally were allowed to finish the challenge on an episode of Rove on 12 July.

Ghosting

Hamish and Andy invented a new sport "Ghosting", where they walk as close as possible to a target person for as long as possible. They have incorporated this sport in many different countries including Great Britain and Ireland, and China when they attempted to ghost a soldier. The boys knew that they had created a huge hit sport, and their enthusiasm for it crossed borders. Currently in America the Twin Cities Ghosting League in Minnesota is supporting Hamish and Andy as well as helping troubled youths in the Minneapolis/St.Paul metro area.

2010's Notable activities

Hungry, Hungry Heroes

Hamish and Andy along with a team of food-lovers attempted to do a challenge where they will find certain restaurants that serve a special meal that is so big that if the person finishes it completely, their name will be put on a plaque or on the wall in the restaurant. Of the five people that competed in the challenge none succeeded.

Bi-Bi-Tri-Bi-athlon

The boys have decided to compete in 24 events throughout the weekend of 6 & 7 March. They have set rules that they can complete no less than 51 percent of a sport before moving on to the next, in order to have a chance at influence the outcome of the game and only compete in official sanctioned leagues or competitions of the relevant sports. The Bi-Bi-Tri-Bi-athlon will be held throughout the country. Originally planned for the weekend of 6 and 7 March, on 2 March Hamish and Andy were training with coach Shane Warne and Andy split his chin and knocked his two front teeth out whilst playing ice hockey. It has now been announced that the event will move back to the weekend of 13 & 14 March due to the injury. To prepare for the event, Hamish had a full body wax and added a new Olympic rings tattoo to his arm. They completed the event on the Sunday evening of the 14th with a final tally of nine wins, one draw and fourteen losses.

See No Evil, Hear No Evil

After watching the movie of the same name starring Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, the pair decided to go 50 hours without the use of one of their 5 senses. For the weekend of 6 & 7 February 2010, Andy went without his sight and Hamish went without his hearing. This was achieved through the use of eye patches and dark glasses for Andy and specially moulded earplugs for Hamish.

The premise was that each would accommodate for the other's missing sense. Hamish became Andy's eyes, leading him when the pair were walking, or describing what was happening during other activities, including a cooking class. Conversely, Andy became Hamish's ears, writing down what he and others were saying so Hamish could follow the conversation.

Thank You Tour

To celebrate the end of the show in the regular format, Hamish and Andy broadcast their final five shows to live crowds. The shows were free and all featured live bands.

Past Segments

Blast from the Past

Every Wednesday, a pre-recorded phone prank is played. Formerly, the challenge was simply to keep the other person on the line as long as possible. Presently, the challenge is for one of the boys to convince the person who answers that he is someone from that person's past. A challenge is typically added in which the prankster has to use a specific topic or request in their conservation with their purported "old buddy".

PA System

Every Friday, The PA system is where Hamish & Andy take callers that have something to say to a certain person or group that they deem important. There are often a range of announcements from "I'd like to tell Ben that dinner's on the table and come now please" to "The bowling party is changing to 7pm". It recently became "International" for podcasters who want to participate.

Fred Basset

At the end of the show on Friday, Hamish, much to the disdain of Andy, reads the Fred Basset comic on air. (This is not to be confused with the show's purchase of The People's Greyhound of the same name.) Andy has tried many different ways to prevent Hamish from reading this comic, including:

• Playing with his mobile phone's ring-tones, interrupting Hamish with comments, blackmailing and bribing him.
• Bringing Hamish's mother into the studio, who begged him not to read Fred Basset.
• Ringing Hamish's then girlfriend Anna and threatening to obtain a 'sex-ban', but Hamish ignored them both and continued.
• Tricking Hamish into reading in water and saying that he was talking into an underwater microphone, when in actuality he was inaudible.
• Andy has also most recently enjoyed employing far more physical attempts to prevent Hamish from reading the comic, such as firing tennis balls at him from a machine, having him 'egged' by schoolgirls, punching him during Basset and covering him in dog-food and unleashing a pack of dogs onto him.
• Andy also once simply walked right out of the studio and went home when the Fred Basset Segment started.
• Andy has also retaliated by reading a different comic: Snake Tales.
• To 'celebrate' Earth Hour, Andy made Hamish read the comic in the disabled toilets with the lights turned off, being able to use matches scattered on the floor for light. He also placed the comic in the toilet.
• During the See No Evil, Hear No Evil challenge, Andy played a pre-recorded message over the top of the Fred Basset comic while Hamish was deaf and could not hear the recording.
• Andy managed to prevent Hamish from reading the comic strip when he got him to put a wooden box on his head & began to pour cockroaches from the top. Hamish however got to read Basset the following Monday when he sneakily got Jack to play a song he had created reading out the comic.
• Andy also managed to prevent Hamish from reading Basset by talking with Hamish's housemates and offering Hamish the position of the drummer on the game "Guitar Hero" if he didn't read Basset. Hamish accepted and received a flood of hate-mail for the following week until he read Fred Basset on the next week.
• During one reading, Andy grabbed a hammer and smashed an LCD monitor in the studio which Hamish was reading the comic off, much to the dismay of the station's General Manager.

In 2011, the segment of Fred Basset was ended due to the lack of time on the new show. However to keep the public able to have the "Basset Experience" Hamish started a section on the website called the "Brotherhood of Basset" where he uploads a comic a week than writes underneath the comic how he would present it on the show.

Tell 'Em They're Dreamin'! (The Trading Post Game)

Every Thursday, Hamish & Andy play a pre-recorded segment in which they take turns to telephone someone who has placed a classified advertisement in the Trading Post newspaper to sell a particular item (the advertisement having been selected by the other person). The task is for the caller to ask five questions about the item, and try to work out what item is being sold. The name Tell 'Em They're Dreamin' is a reference to the film The Castle. This was an idea given to Hamish and Andy via an email by one of their listeners, Nathan Lauterbach.

Hey, Get Us an Autograph!

Hamish & Andy ask their celebrity reporter, Brad Blanks, to obtain an autograph from, or arrange an interview with, various New York celebrities. On several occasions he has tried to interview Robert De Niro only to receive abrupt, often monosyllabic answers. Celebrities will often comment on his appearance, in particular Ricky Gervais, who has made jokes about Brad's "sweaty" appearance, and well as Clive Owen who mentioned Brad's penchant for arriving at Red Carpets under the influence of alcohol.

Trivial Claims Court

A listener calls in with a trivial question. One example is 'Do penguins have knees?'. Other callers then provide their response to the question. Usually twelve callers are taken, simulating a criminal jury.

Race to find celebrities; "Old School" Celebrity Crush Hunting

On occasions Hamish and Andy battle against each other to find famous celebrities for different purposes. Two of the most popular searches were to find:

A Celebrity Endorsement for their Greyhound, Fred Basset. The two celebrities were Paris Hilton and John Travolta. But by the end of the competition, Hamish gave up on finding Paris Hilton, and instead found Mike Whitney. Two famous celebrities whom two listeners had a crush on when they were younger. The celebrities were Taylor Hanson and Jennie Garth. Titled Celebrity Crush Hunt, Hamish and Andy were still neck and neck in finding their celebrities but on 24 May 2007, Hamish won the competition by finding Taylor Hanson.

In 2009, Hamish & Andy battled against each other to make contact with celebrities, so that two listeners could interview their 'old school' celebrity crush as a teenager. Andy tried to track down Brian Austin Green while Hamish was after Steven Seagal. The boys employed several different strategies in order to get them onto the show. Andy pretended to be the owner of a jewellery chain in Australia named 'Cactus Fire', in an attempt to convince Brian Austin-Green's niece to get Brian onto the show. Whilst Hamish bought five cases of Stephen Seagal's energy drink Lightning Bolt, which cost him $250 and has never arrived to him. Eventually, Andy won the race to get Brian on the show, and his young fan Becky was able to speak to him.

Experimental as Anything

Once a week Hamish and Andy do odd experiments to see if any truth comes out of it. One example is testing to see if it was possible to dry a black thong under a public bathroom hand dryer. Another segment involved them eating biscuits and potato chips, and then proceeding to 'send a toffee down' in order to get the remaining food stuck in their teeth out. After concluding it had a 100% success rate, Hamish joked at a later date that most chewing gum companies entire selling point is the fact that they serve an almost identical function. A running joke at the beginning of the segment is a comment on the unusually long length of the opener, the opener is about 10 seconds longer than the opener of other segments.

Forced Connect

Hamish and Andy call two phone numbers (usually of celebrities) at the same time to hear the conversation occur as the victims try to figure out what is happening, then Hamish and Andy then reveal themselves as the pranksters. Celebrities that have been called include Kyle and Jackie O, Jules Lund and Kamahl , Warrick Capper and Stephen Curry, Hamish's housemates, John and Haydo, as well as connecting Horgs with a McDonalds in the hope that amidst the confusion Horgs would try and order food.

If You're Single And You Know It Pat Your Head

Once a week Hamish and Andy invite listeners who are single and in cars to pat their heads (Hamish & Andy also pat their heads, although they are both in relationships). They also invite listeners to call in and tell them the results of the patting.

Two Become One (2 Person Prank)

This segment is based on the fact that Hamish and Andy's voices sound very similar on the phone. Hamish and Andy ring up a store or hotline, and have a conversation with that person trying to fool them into thinking it is one person. After each sentence a bell that the person on the other end cannot hear sounds and they trade sentences. After a while a longer bell will ring and they will trade words. Notable victims include Andy's Mum and Megan Gale (but she cottoned on almost immediately).

Family Meeting

When Hamish and Andy want to present an idea to the listeners they announce a "family meeting". Previous family meetings have included discussions about trips overseas, such as "The Caravan of Courage; Yes We Van", "The Caravan Of Courage; Who Dares Dar-wins","The Caravan of Courage; Great Britain & Ireland" on 5 May 2010 and a week long trip to Japan in order to interview Tom Hanks.

Bring Out Your Dead

On the last Friday of every month, the guys announce a new segment that was originally deemed to be not good enough for radio by the producers of the show. An example of one of the segments ran was "Radio Crimestoppers" (a radio version of Crimestoppers) which was simply a segment created by Andy in which he described a 'crime' he witnessed (in this instance littering) and described the perpetrator verbally. Several callers rang-up claiming to know who they were, including one man who rang up to say that he fit the description, and whilst innocent, was being yelled at and pointed out by passing drivers.

Hot or Not Bots

Each week, Hamish picks out a robot which the guys then decide it is hot or not. One example was a small robot designed to clean up crumbs.

HB:BC

Originally was HB:HT which stood for Hamish Blake's Hot Topic, but after presenting two Hot Topics Hamish decided it was too hard to determine if his topic was hot enough for the show (Andy disagreed his second topic was actually hot) Hamish decided to close that segment and replace it with HB:BC which was Hamish Blake's Big Call. Examples of a big call are:

• Deleting Barack Obama from the show's Twitter account

Minus One Letter Movie Trailers

As the title describes, the boys take one letter out of a famous movie title, and record a spoken trailer about that film instead, so far they have had:

• An Inconvenient Ruth
• Roundhog Day
• Dude, Here's My Car
• Lice in Wonderland
• Bravehear
• Finding Emo
• Lady and the Ramp
• Petty Woman
• Green Car
• The Man With The Ron Mask
• Old Finger
• Ambo
• 1 Things I Hate About You
• Dad Poet's Society
• Failure to Lunch

Regular Segments

Random John

Random John involves calling a random number, and hoping for a John. If you get a John you get one John Point, if you get a John Johnson you get fifty John Points and in the unlikely event that you get a John Johnny Johnson you get one hundred and twenty John Points. If you are unfortunate enough to come across a Rob, you lose a John Point due to an email from a podcaster saying that they will never get a John. The pair have started a Random John World Cup; in which they have had the highest John streak after getting a John on 27 May 2011. The duo has since decided to not to continue with the segment in order to maintain the John point and not risk losing it to a Rob. The segment will restart if another Random John World Cup partipant gets a John point.

Horgs' Inventions

Occasionally, Andy's friend Horgs is asked to talk about his latest ideas for inventions. Horgs also interviewed Tom Cruise with Andy while Hamish was at a wedding. Horgs is Andy's ex-roommate and high school best friend, his wife's name is Katie and he is famous on the show for beginning his segment with a whistle, a sound the guys joke is a 'signal for investors to get out their chequebooks.'

Some of Horgs' inventions include:

• 'Weatherbet', which was a website on which one could bet on the weather for the next day, an idea which the following week Horgs' explained was stolen by a listener who subsequently registered the domain name, which also began Horgs' catchphrase of "invest with me; not against me".
• The 'Horgiana', a 'comfortable shoe'; the name of which was a direct play on the brand Havaianas.
• The 'TLC' or 'Two Level Car', an idea which he presented to Richard Branson at the opening of his Virgin Active gym in Sydney, which was, surprisingly, not totally dismissed by Richard.
• The 'Choc Nut', which was based on Horgs' belief that if you filled the inside of a nut with chocolate, most of the chocolate wouldn't be metabolised and therefore you would not put on weight.
• The 'Gym Train', whereby a regular commuter train would have one carriage modified into a gym for passengers to exercise on their way to work.
• The 'I Hate Mondays' song, an idea Horgs admits isn't original but hasn't been done for '20 years', according to him. This has been the only invention thus far to take off and actually reach a second week, in which Horgs' announced the full lyrics to the song, and on the same day whilst interviewing Harry Connick, Jr., he actually performed an improvised version of the song. On Friday 19 March, it was announced that over the weekend Hamish & Andy would actually gather singers together to perform the song. It is planned to have 25 singers on the verses and 100 on the chorus (one of which will be Horgs himself). On 16 July 2010, the song was released on the Australian iTunes Store for $1.69 AUD.

On the show, Horgs' is well-known for frequently using the catchphrase, '(Insert product) have done well over the years'. The other running joke is that most of his 'unique' ideas have actually been invented, mostly on the Japanese market.

Jazz Chat

After changing from a daily to a weekly show, Hamish & Andy created the segment Jazz Chat to give quick bullet point topics in the last 3 minutes of the show to make up for the lack of time they have on the new show. The Roger Clark Quartet played the background jazz music live during the segment on the 11 March 2011 show.

DVD Releases

Hamish and Andy have released their first DVD release, Hamish and Andy's Caravan of Courage, which features the American and Great Britain and Ireland Caravan of Courage trips.
