Episode 308: Taking an Autism Test and Winning Powerball

·47 min·4 clips

Two podcasters take an autism test and discover they can't read faces

Brendon frames the episode around a Patreon pitch and a half-joking promise that the whole audience can win Powerball together. He plugs the free feed, the paid feed, and the newer video experiments before the show really gets going. Cornell joins him for the main hang. The first stretch immediately circles an adult autism test. That question opens the door to a broader conversation about habits, repetition, and what people actually notice about each other. Brendon talks about cutting his own hair and deciding he does not want to pay for a result that looks the same anyway. Cornell pushes back while Brendon argues that most people do not pay much attention unless something is extreme. The conversation widens into a deliberately messy riff about how little Brendon registers visually. He runs through colors, skin tones, and absurd placeholder descriptions as if they all belong in the same bucket. The bit is blunt and intentionally overextended. It is also very much in the show’s lane, where a simple observation gets stressed until it turns strange. The hosts keep stopping and starting, as if the topic itself is trying to escape. They toss in old-show references, including a nod to Bone Zone, without slowing the pace. The language stays coarse and casual. At one point they joke about YouTube not wanting swearing in the first ten minutes. That pressure becomes part of the bit instead of a real interruption. The show also checks in on new video ideas and puppet material. Brendon keeps advertising the Patreon while sounding like he is half-managing the whole operation in real time. The episode uses that self-awareness as fuel rather than apology. The final stretch circles back to the autism-test result and turns it into a miniature payoff. Brendon wants a simple pass-or-fail answer. Cornell refuses to make it that neat. The ending keeps the same loose, teasing rhythm all the way to the close. It feels less like a lesson than a long, deranged room conversation that keeps finding another corner to bump into. That is the point. The episode is built from interruption, repetition, and the pleasure of making a dumb premise carry more weight than it should. It closes by sending listeners to the Patreon for the full uncut episode and the extra material around the edges.

As heard by us

A loose, profane hang that turns an adult autism test into a wandering bit.

This cut starts with a Patreon plug and then settles into a loose, self aware hang built around an adult autism test, haircut habits, what people notice or miss, and a few old show callbacks.
