A reminder to avoid topical content, we open with a discussion on the Paris Summer Olympics and NBC sponsoring Snoop Dogg to make cameos at different events. Christian can't understand the appeal of sending Snoop Dogg to the Olympics and Josh reveals that it's all about the content. 

Josh wonders what the Olympics even is and why we can't get our shit together for other global issues whilst Christian expresses concern over what becomes of the athletes after they've finished competing. We then ask why more athletes and less Bruce McAvaneys don't go into commentary positions.

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.

Why Was Snoop Dogg At The Olympics?

On a cold Monday night in August 2024, tired from just existing, Josh and Christian decided to record Patch 133, "The Depression Sessions" aka Frankly Mr Chatly. For any first time listeners, this is not the Patch for you. 

Christian and Josh reflect on winter and the sadness of realising that you're already half way through the year. Christian and Josh then exchange some stories from a night out the week before; Christian looks like a little boy, Josh accidentally made a back zipper on his costume's pants.

After a rubbish day, how do you self soothe? Do you get cosy like Josh? Do you need to numb your brain like Christian? Christian and Josh discuss ASMR, weighted blankets and keeping your mind distracted.

Christian then asks Josh whether there's a healthy level of overthinking? How do you handle overthinking? Are you a good communicator? We then throw down some real introspection about our capacity to communicate with those around us. We also ask, what are your tools for falling asleep?

Finally, we get really depressed over the bottomless pit of online content.

Patch #133 - The Depression Sessions (Frankly Mr Chatly)

After a quick salute to our Great Aunt Ear, Christian tells Josh and Nelson a story about his struggles applying a bandaid to a recent grater related injury to his finger. Are you confident applying bandaids to cuts? What ever happened to the Cadbury Favourites style box of different shaped bandaids?

Nelson then walks us through his experiences of donating platelets fortnightly and the pains of answering their questionnaire honestly. He then makes us all feel like pieces of shit for not donating our blood to children.

Do You Know How To Apply A Bandaid? ft. Nelson Allingham

Christian and Josh are joined in the Patchwork studio by the handsome and hilarious Nelson Allingham, host of the Read It On Reddit podcast. Christian welcomes Nelson by confessing that he often passively listens to his podcast while completing chores before tragically revealing that he prematurely retired one of his jumpers from rotation by wearing it to bed. Nelson sympathises and offers a compromise of sleeping with no clothes but believes one of the tell tale signs of a sleep top, is the neckline. Josh reflects on waking himself up while sleep talking; Nelson sleep barks. 

Christian then opens up to Josh and Nelson about having a fridge full of half filled jars of different sauces, pastes and whatnots. How do you prevent this from happening? Should you use the entire contents of the jar every time a new one is opened, like Nelson and Josh? Or do you wait for the mercy of mould before you throw the jar out? Josh gives us the lowdown on the sharehouse experience while Christian sings the praises of baby food. We then discuss whether particular foods have greater rights over freezer space than others? Bread or salmon? Finally, Nelson offers up a fresh take on how to save space in the fridge - the King's Cup.

After a particularly bad experience, Nelson asks Christian and Josh for help identifying the circumstances in which you can ignore a friend of a friend you see walking down the street. Does it matter whether you're having a bad day? Do you need to at least head nod? What if you can't think of anything to chat to them about? What if you don't want to get locked into a long chat? After walking us through his bad experience of being ignored, Nelson finally reveals that the 'friend of a friend' is in fact one of our own.      

With very special guests "Mad Lifts" and "Copy Cat" (Frank Walker from National Tiles).
