Use of Get vs Gets

[kwbMitel]

Something sounds off to me when it comes to the usage below

You get it | Sounds normal
Someone else gets it | Sounds normal

Sometimes Neither you nor someone else get it (or is it gets it)

A commercial is playing on the radio about loss of employment insurance. They say the following:

"if either you or your spouse gets laid off..." Get sounds better to me but I've been fooled before.

Mine was a tongue in cheek comment and a play on words. Sometimes I feel that people take things too literally. I shan't bother you again.

Yeah, I think we got that and continued in a similar vein.

Nope, did not get that, I'm getting old, it got the better of me, hope this gets the right response.
