The Sklars start off the show with a recap of Dan Van Kirk's day with Chili’s. Also, Dan shares some of his exclusive Chili’s schwag that he got for Randy and Jason. Then, the gang welcomes to the show comedian Andy Peters, who shares the advice that Colin Quinn gave, to jumpstart Andy's whole career. Headlines on this week’s County include grappling with drunken zebra’s, a former college student who sticks around to create some malicious mischief, and the brand new charity “random acts of pasta,” as funded by the Olive Garden. Lastly, Christopher Walken calls in to defend his performance in the Thanksgiving spectacular “Peter Pan.”

No matter how cool, young or hip you are, eventually the world of mass media will leave your increasingly-saggy ass behind. Recently, the YouTube channel of PewDiePie, a Swedish video game commenter, became the most viewed YouTube channel in history with over 6.6 billion views. The Wall Street Journal cites that PewDiePie makes around $4 million a year from ads sold on his YouTube account. In the Cracked offices, this feat was met with responses like, "what the hell is PewDiePie," "I've lost faith in society," and, "I have no idea what any of those words mean." We’re old -- not ‘discounts at The Sizzler’ old, but old enough that we’re no longer the gatekeepers of popular culture. Tragically (for us) and normally (for everyone else), pop culture is moving faster than ever: YouTubers are making millions; things that some of us were too old for originally, like Power Rangers, are being rebooted; and 13-year-olds seem to have legitimate grounds to bemoan "kids these days." This week on the podcast, Cracked editors Jack O'Brien, Jason Pargin (aka David Wong), Soren Bowie, and Tom Reimann discuss the specific areas of pop culture that seem to have left them behind.

What if Tony Stark built humanitarian robots out of super cheap materials and not a weaponized fleet of mech suits? What if someone could run as far and as infinitely as Barry Allen but at a more human speed? What if you found out that an American president reached power using Charles Xavier-like powers of persuasion. It sounds like a made up version of the Marvel extended universe -- yes, the Flash is a DC property, but just go with it -- but these are actual, recorded talents that you NEVER hear about. Recorded at the Comikaze Expo in Los Angeles, Cracked Podcast co-hosts Jack O'Brien and Michael Swaim are joined by Soren Bowie, Adam Tod Brown, Tom Reimann, Dan O'Brien, and Alex Schmidt for a panel about insane real-life powers the world should know more about, then take questions from the audience.
