0:00Hey, Ed Helms here, host of Snafu, my podcast about history's greatest screw ups. This fall, I'm coming back for season four, and I'm bringing you even more snafus than ever. That's right. Every single episode will be a brand new crazy mishap from history. From the Donner Party to the Great Molasses Flood, and yes, that is a real thing. I'll be covering the most head-scratching moments from throughout humanity's very messy past. And this season, I'm dragging along some of my funniest and most interesting friends for the ride. You want to make sure it's easy to catch those fish so you feel good about yourself.

0:37What was that like for you to soft launch into the show? Sorry, Jenna, I'll be asking the questions today. I forgot whose podcast we were doing. Cal, any guess what the current population of California is? Oh, boy. 32 million plus or minus a Kardashian? Nick Kroll. I hope this story is good enough to get you to toss that sandwich. Let's see how it goes. It's going to be a very big helping of history served up with a side of banter, maybe some insight, and definitely a lot of laughs. 32 lost nuclear weapons? Wait, stop? What? That's our campaign slogan. Forget about it. Forget about it. Ernie Shackleton sounds like a solid 70s basketball player.

1:21Who still wore knee pads. And for the very first time, you can now watch Snafu on YouTube. Yeah, just go to youtube.com slash at symbol snafu pod. I love a snafu. I love you. I love this pod. So three of my favorite things are about to happen all at once. Just an abundance of riches right here.
