Speaker 1: Welcome to them, Christian, No, come on show podcast.
Speaker 2: Now Patsy has spotted something. You know, Patsy is not
Speaker 2: just a journalist Monday to Friday on air, always looking
Speaker 2: for the scoop. Yes, that I constantly scanning. Is it
Speaker 2: a crime over there?
Speaker 1: Is that?
Speaker 2: So one thinking about a crime that I can attack
Speaker 2: right now? Like that movie Minority Report, pre.
Speaker 3: Cogs Neighborhood, Patsy, we went to the cinema yesterday, so
Speaker 3: a fabulous movie.
Speaker 1: Actually, what do you see?
Speaker 3: Monster Family too? If you want to take the kids
Speaker 3: somewhere for holidays? Well when you got kids anything on
Speaker 3: a rainy Sunday, Christian, Yes, are quite right anyway. We've
Speaker 3: got a chop top as you do, and the popcorn.
Speaker 3: But is it just me or are they getting smaller
Speaker 3: like everything else?
Speaker 4: Patsy, They are one hundred percent getting smaller. I used
Speaker 4: to work at a theater bar back in Sydney in
Speaker 4: the Capitol Court.
Speaker 2: You did listen to him? You can take rio out
Speaker 2: of Sydney. Blow that funny little bar.
Speaker 4: That bar.
Speaker 1: It's not like a normal bar. They're all dressed up
Speaker 1: smart in the Dicky boat.
Speaker 4: Had to wear a little vest.
Speaker 1: Like a real bar. But what what can you tell
Speaker 1: them from the front line.
Speaker 4: They were definitely bigger back then that you could you
Speaker 4: could feel the weight of them. And the big scoop
Speaker 4: has one hundred percent gone smaller. I reckon at least
Speaker 4: over fifteen to twenty percent smaller than what it used
Speaker 4: to be.
Speaker 2: Circle with these things now gradually they do it tiny
Speaker 2: bit by tiny bit, so you don't suddenly notice where
Speaker 2: you were ten years ago. I reckon chop tops. You
Speaker 2: give it the five years, it'd be the size of
Speaker 2: one of those what they called chopper chops, a little loipop,
Speaker 2: and you won't even know. You won't even know. I'm
Speaker 2: sure this is This happens a lot, doesn't it. Where
Speaker 2: like pringles, they get smaller, smaller.
Speaker 4: Now it's imperceptible to the naked eyes. But then over time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got to say this right, I think this
Speaker 2: goes right to the top. Okay, if I'm not here tomorrow,
Speaker 2: you know Big Chocolate got me. They've rubbed me out,
Speaker 2: as they call it.
Speaker 1: In no I mean I've seen it. Thrillers.
Speaker 2: I said, let's rub them out. He's not there on
Speaker 2: the letter anymore. That's all em by. Choky business has
Speaker 2: got me right. They drown me in about of the
Speaker 2: Wonka factory. That's where I am right now. If you
Speaker 2: need to come find my body. Have you seen first hand,
Speaker 2: like our damning account from Rio former theater Land employee
Speaker 2: behind the bar, he can confirm that the choc tops
Speaker 2: are getting smaller?
Speaker 1: What have you seen getting smaller? Okay? Do we need
Speaker 1: to take to the streets.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, we need to take to the street now.
Speaker 2: Why aren't we out on the streets demanding bigger cabriy
Speaker 2: cream eggs? Enough with the old mandates for the vaccines,
Speaker 2: what about mandates for chocolates.
Speaker 1: And sweets stripes?
Speaker 2: Come on strike nine four one four one o four three.
Speaker 2: What do you reckon is getting smaller? This goes right
Speaker 2: to the top. I know you didn't get rubbed out
Speaker 2: as well. They're just come for me, not you. You're safe.
