Due to the cancellation of the 2020 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and consequentially, our live shows, we decided to record a very special show via YouTube Live on April 26. If you want to WATCH this special Patch, head to our YouTube channel via youtube.com/welcometopatchwork.

Who has the responsibility of calling back if a phone call drops out? Do you need to correct a typo in a text message? How many appliances should you plug in to a powerboard?

With very special guests, Scrolling Through Time, Hi Team, Oh Wow and Really Good!

**Nominated for 'Best Comedy' at the Australian Podcast Awards 2018 & 2019**

Have you ever wondered if it’s acceptable to bring food to someone's house and take it back home if no one has eaten it? Well if you have, then you’re in good company. Christian, Dion and Josh are Welcome to Patchwork: An Australian comedy podcast that thinks too hard about the monotony of life. By debating the obvious, challenging social conventions and improvising sketches, we're more concerned with the crumbs than the cookie.

YouTube Live Patch: How Should You Handle A Phone Call Drop Out?

We begin with Josh’s so-called “worst idea ever”: a heated debate about monitor timeout settings that morphs into a discussion about energy saving, screen burn, and whether you can feel your password in your fingers. Then Dion unveils a mysterious crack on his phone’s screen protector—but can’t recall how it happened. Josh is appalled. Christian is strangely sympathetic.

Later, we find ourselves in a crowded venue with Josh, hyper-aware he’s blocking a walkway but too polite to say anything. Do you instinctively manage group positioning in public spaces, or would you rather blend in and suffer silently?

Finally, Dion tries to eat a chip. But how loud is too loud? We ask: can you tell how noisy your own chewing is? Do you pace your bites? Would you buy concert-proof lolly wrappers?

Plus: silent ten-pin bowling, mismatched perceptions of sporting ability, and a surprise theory about crowd flow and height.

Patch #149 – Do You Know How Loudly You Chew?

What begins as a practical question from Josh spirals into a breakdown of techniques, hand placement, seatbelt etiquette, and the flirtatious potential of a mid-drive unzip.
Is it safer to undo your seatbelt or ask your partner to grab the wheel?
What’s your jumper removal strategy at a red light?
Can you safely tie your shoelaces while driving?
And do you ever rev your engine?

Buckle up - or don’t - and enjoy our little detour for Patch 148.

How Do You Safely Take Your Jacket Off While Driving?

With Dion back on the mic, we begin by questioning his curious choice to take place his call in another room but on speaker. This quickly turns into a debate about phone etiquette, hands-free habits, and whether Dion’s long-standing fear of mobile radiation is paranoia or just good prep. We also examine the strange acoustics of speaker mics, the performance of whispering taxi drivers, and the phone-in-bra technique favoured by certain mums.

Next, we tackle the strange panic that sets in when a rogue soccer ball rolls your way at the park. Josh recounts a high-pressure moment in Princes Park where he had to choose between a casual pass or a full-blown toe-bash. Do you prioritise style or accuracy? Should you stick to the sport’s rules when returning the ball? And is there a small part of all of us that hopes we’ll be immediately recruited?

Finally, we chew over one of life’s most quietly stressful conundrums: where do you throw away chewing gum when there’s no bin around? Flick it, wrap it, or pocket it for later disposal?
