What is the teaser for the new Warhammer 40,000 podcast?

Unknown 0:00
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Hey guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but you know. Tired and sick. Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Robert Smigel 0:33
Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy. Not quite. On Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends, me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guests, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an acapella band with their between songs banter.

Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter.
Robert Smigel 0:57
Listen to Humor Me with Robert Smigel and friends on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the Enhanced Games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Michelle McPhee 1:34
I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on. A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman.
Unknown 1:45
Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud.
Michelle McPhee 1:50
But how long can this alliance last? Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Oh, welcome back to, well, this is the Behind the Bastards feed, and this is normally where you get new episodes of Behind the Bastards, but every now and then we try something new. And in the not-too-distant future, I'm planning to be launching a new podcast with my friend and fellow giant nerd, Joe Kasabian, also a fellow podcaster. Hey, Joe, how are you doing? Hey buddy, it's good to be here. Yeah, and we're wanting to do, we're planning to do a podcast on Warhammer 40,000, which is a game system that some of you are probably aware of and others of you maybe aren't. I think a lot of people know about this now. It's reached kind of a point of cultural critical mass where I think a significant chunk of people on the internet are just kind of casually aware it exists in a way that they weren't when we were kids and started playing this.
Joe Kassabian 3:10
Yeah, 100%. I remember back when I first heard about Warhammer through the books, nobody really knew what it was other than other people that would fall into that fan zone. But now, anybody who doesn't even know it's a miniature, maybe they know it from the Total War games or whatever, but it's definitely the biggest it's ever been.
Robert Evans 3:32
Yeah, and the podcast, we'll talk later about what exactly the podcast, kind of things the podcast will be covering. But this episode, I specifically wanted to talk about the intersection of Warhammer 40K and like pop culture and pop politics in the United States and elsewhere. Because it's one of having a surprisingly large impact on like the way people communicate on the internet and the way people talk about Donald Trump in particular. That's really weird. But before we get into that, Because I think that's the thing that's got to be relevant to everybody, even the people who, you know, aren't into the game at least can get something out of this stuff, which is why we're putting this up as our teaser episode in the Bastards feed.
Robert Evans 4:12
But before we do that, Joe, you've got a book to plug.
Joe Kassabian 4:16
I do.
