Australia QR Code Tracking, Marmite Shortage, Seasonal Flu Warnings
Australia has implemented a high-tech contact tracing system requiring citizens to scan QR codes at every building and restaurant they enter. Meanwhile, the country is facing a shortage of Marmite, reportedly due to a lack of "beard dregs" or yeast byproducts. Warnings are issued that Australia may face new lockdowns as their winter flu season approaches.
Brexit Marmite Row, Tesco and Unilever Price Dispute
A public dispute between Tesco and Unilever over the price of Marmite is characterized by the hosts as a "PR move" to frighten British citizens about the consequences of Brexit. Unilever sought to raise prices by 10% due to the falling value of the pound, leading Tesco to briefly pull products from its online store. The hosts believe this is part of a media campaign to force a "do-over" vote on EU membership.
Listener Donations, MS Humor and De-douching
The show continues with donor shout-outs, including a 16th birthday wish for Tamara Davis and a donation from a listener with multiple sclerosis who uses self-deprecating humor. The hosts explain show jargon like "de-douching" for new listeners, comparing the show's unique culture to eating Marmite.
