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