Let Me Tell You About (Show)

Let Me Tell You About (abbreviated "LMTYA") is a podcast and the main focus of this wiki. The podcast is based around Tad and a guest (usually Aleks) talking about a particular topic, including but not limited to:
* Work experience
* Video games
* History
* Online oddities
* Other ridiculous nonsense.
As of July 2021, Aleks, the long-time and de facto cohost, stepped down from the podcast to pursue his creative passions. While Joe has stepped in to fill the second mic, an official new cohost has yet to be announced.
jk Aleks is back lol.
== Origins & History ==
The series began in early 2016 as Homestuck was on its deathbed and Tad wanted to start his own creative venture. Split choosing between developing a game and making a podcast, Tad went with the podcast option because it could lead to instant gratification and he could share it with Aleks so they could stay friends.
The original first episode has been lost to time for apparently being utter dogshit, leaving "Getting Arrested Outside of A Comic Shop" as the earliest available episode. The podcast eventually caught some heat, gaining thousands of views and fans from its episodes, "Let Me Tell You About... Shutting Down Neopets," "Let Me Tell You About... Chris Chan" and its subsequent remastered cut, and "Let Me Tell You About... Assigned Male."

== Notable Episodes ==
=== Chris Chan ===
Main article: Chris Chan
The most popular episode of the podcast, with views totaling over 600K between the original 2016 and remastered 2017 versions. Joe enlightens Tad to the ongoing antics of notorious internet lolcow Christian Weston Chandler: from his early years, to the conception of Sonichu, to his unending Love Quest, and the bad hombres who aim to throw a wrench in Chris's efforts to find a "Sweetheart from the Ground-Up."
Note: this episode is a time capsule of Christorical events up to mid-2016, and does not reflect any...recent developments. For the full, naked, and unabridged manmade horror, your journey begins at the link above.
=== Assigned Male ===
Statistically the second most popular episode of the podcast at around 280K total views. Tad and Khan discuss Sophie Labelle's Assigned Male: a terrible webcomic rife with poor design choices, one-sided arguments, emotional manipulation, and scummy, psychopathic tendencies that mirror the creator's own existence. Similar to Chris Chan, recent updates in Labelle's life brought the question of whether or not a follow-up episode would be made, but Tad expressed concerns that it would put a larger target on their backs for YouTube to consider LMTYA a "bullying" channel.
It should be noted that somehow, some way, Tad's opinions on Homestuck have caused more controversy in the comments than the actual subject matter at hand.
=== Aleks' Dream Series ===
A three-part series in which Aleks takes Tad on a deep dive into his dream journal. His dreams are notable for their narrative-driven, even episodic style, and introduce memorable characters such as Bindaman, the Time Vigilantes, Frank the Intelligent Zombie, and NIEL.
=== Thanar, Hero of WoW Roleplay ===
An early fan favorite, this episode goes into Aleks' time on the WoW roleplay server Prologue: detailing the shenanigans he caused, witnessed, or was forcibly thrown into while roleplaying with a guild of /v/ merchants. A Discord user planned to create a full animated retelling of Thanar's adventures, but only a few excerpts were released before the project was scrapped. 
=== Japanese 101 Stories ===
Another highly-regarded fan favorite, Dan and Michael regale Tad in the weebshit horrors they endured throughout their college Japanese classes. This episode is noted for spawning quotable moments that remain popular with the fanbase to this day, such as Chinese Luigi, the Literal Goomba, and HOW CAN YOU BE GAY IN SIGN LANGUAGE? 
== Subseries & One-offs ==
LMTYA has several subseries and one-offs that change up the formula (or the intro theme). While the style and feel of these episodes range wildly, all are still under the overarching LMTYA banner.
=== Noyz Boyz - 2016-present; 28 episodes ===
Beginning as a break from the mainline LMTYA formula, Noyz Boyz is a series of recordings where Tad, Aleks, Joe, and/or another guest hop on to shoot the shit or talk about a particular topic not fleshed out enough to make its own episode of LMTYA.
=== Somewhat Accurate History (SAH) - 2018-present; 24 episodes ===
Somewhat Accurate History is a history-centered series in which a specific person, event, or trend from history is discussed. As the title implies, the topics are discussed with loose accuracy, choosing instead to focus on the funnier/cooler aspects of them for the audience's listening pleasure. While there is a wide range of topics discussed, Aleks general tends to focus on Russia and events from the 1500s while Tad mainly discusses odd stories from the 1800s.
Originally, Aleks wanted to commentate on the 2019 Hong Kong pro-democracy protests and how U.S. companies (in particular Blizzard-Activision) were complacent with China censoring word of the protests in their games; this resulted in the episode "Let Me Tell You About... China," which talked about the history of the Chinese Civil War and Mao Zedong's rule. A month later, "Let Me Tell You About... Cortez and the Aztecs" was released, still under the mainline LMTYA banner. Finally, with the release of "The Incas and El Dorado - Somewhat Accurate History," the series became separate - albeit in name only.
Note: While unofficially beginning with the China episode and officially beginning with the Cortez episode, 2 episodes released months/years before are counted as SAH episodes: "Pewdiepie, The Biggest Face Turn in Youtube History" and "The Human Spectacle of Game Shows."
=== Henshin Homies - July - September 2018; 6 episodes ===
A short-lived watchalong podcast hosted by Tad and Alba where they watch and discuss Kamen Rider W, a Japanese Henshin tv series for babies. Each podcast episode covers a chunk of Kamen Rider W episodes, including an introductory Episode Zero and a special finale episode covering the Kamen Rider x Decade movie. While garnering decent interest, Tad expressed that he wasn't looking to continue the series, as he didn't really feel the dynamic between him and Alba. 
=== No Stupid Questions - 2019-2021; 8 episodes===
A series where Tad and Aleks or Joe answer hard-hitting questions from viewers. The original, 7 episode run lasted through the latter half of 2019, but was brought back for a one-time special as "Tad 'n' Joe Call in Show - Romantic Advice from the 'Kissing Cousins.'"
===Swole Quest - 2017; 2 episodes===
A series where Tad and Michael discuss physical fitness, mental health, and anime waifus. Was meant to be a bi-weekly series but only received 2 episodes released a month, then half a part, and never received another epi-I mean, a brand-new episode's coming out in two weeks! Just be patient, bro! 
===Homestuck Ruined My Life - Homestuck Month 2017 (2017-2019); 6 episodes (Main Article)===
A series where Tad recounts why he read Homestuck, what it was, and the cultural impact it had. Infamously, it lasted 1 year and 9 months despite being made exclusively for "Homestuck Month" (October 2017).
=== Google Review Roundup - 2020-present; 7 episodes ===
A series where Tad, Joe, and sometimes a guest or two look around Google sites to try to find the most interesting and humorous reviews around. Unlike most of the series, Google Review Roundups are recorded during a YouTube livestream, rather than being pre-recorded and edited. 
=== Camp Tell You Boutee - 2022; 3 episodes ===
A short miniseries that stars Tad, Joe and Kirsten that centers around the trio discussing topics centering around supernatural beings such as various cryptids and succubi. The series portrays itself in a manner akin to taking place at a traditional summer camp, with the main trio calling themselves camp counselors. 
=== Trivia ===
* The name “Let Me Tell you About” originated from a Homestuck meme where convention goers would try to tell people about Homestuck
