Vegemite

I guess you had to be there Preface concerning humans.

Spread across every continent on Earth, like Vegemite all the way to the crusts, we find perhaps the most extraordinary creature this planet has ever produced.

Homo sapiens.

A medium-sized bipedal primate with an upright stance, refined over several million years to easily reach the top shelf in Tesco for the last can of Prince's Pork Luncheon Meat.

I mean, Marmite really took off sort of in the 20s and 30s.

And it became huge in Australia to the point that then Vegemite got launched in order to compete.

So there's Vegemite in Australia.

There's Marmite here.

There's a thing called Synovus in Switzerland, which is a fruitier version of Marmite.

Go.

Okay, so, well, you've answered the first half of this about microgravity, but Brady Harmon says, have there been any developments in artificial gravity? Is it all sci-fi or can we do it? And also Brady says, Vegemite serving tip of the day spread on a hard-boiled egg.

I'm guessing Brady is from Australia.

Yeah,

he can only be from Australia if he's given culinary tips for Vegemite.

Let's take a quick break, and when we come back with our guest Ariel Ekblaw, we're going to find out about how do we make artificial gravity, they do it in sci-fi, with or without rotating space stations.

So let's find out when we return.

It's Matt, where do we leave off? We had a question about artificial gravity.

Peanut butter is so much better than anything else.

Are you a peanut butter or a Vegemite? No.

I hate peanut

butter, dude.

I am a satay lover, but I really dislike peanut butter.

You're such an enigma.

Well, I don't like Vegemite

either, so, you know.

I don't know what this means.

Have any of Liam's teammates tried Vegemite?

What do you mean you don't know what that means?

What is Vegemite?

It's poop on a cracker from Australia.

Okay.

Smelled like my feet.

That's okay.

I don't know what this means.

Have any of Liam's teammates tried Vegemite?

What do you mean you don't know what that means?

What is Vegemite?

It's poop on a cracker from Australia.

Okay.

Smelled like my feet.

That's okay.

Finally, number one on the list.

An Australian judge says a Vegemite ban doesn't violate a prisoner's human rights.

That's right.

What? Strange things happen in prison in Australia, too.

Argued in court that by withholding the polarizing yeast-based spread... breached his human rights to enjoy his culture as an Australian.

He

just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich.

Did that whole thing just for that.

Tuesday, the question of the day.

A convicted prisoner in Australia failed to convince a court that being denied Vegemite violated his human rights.

He argued that the prison ban deprived him of his Australian cultural identity.

So the question was, what's a food or condiment you couldn't live without? Eddie on X.

Flavour.

Vegemite glazed steak.

Do me a favour.

Spicy pickle.
