Season 4 • Episode 6
LatestIn a rare example of foresight, Hamish and Andy have announced that they’ve “kind of, pretty much” decided what they want to do with the extra time they have in 2011 – they are going on a gap year to America. However, Hamish and Andy remembered that they told Channel Nine they would do a TV show this year as well, so while continuing their weekly radio show for Austereo's Today Network, they’ll now attempt to combine their dream gap year with a TV series.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The show originated from their actual radio bit about taking a gap year at nearly 30, making the entire premise a meta-joke about their own careers.
This became a blueprint for Australian comedy duos abroad, proving local chemistry travels better than expensive production.
