Thaddeus "Tad" Becker is the host of Let Me Tell You About, its subseries Noyz Boyz, Best Boyz, Questions of the Month/No Stupid Questions, and Somewhat Accurate History, and Revival. He appears in every episode of each.
Tad is known for his undying devotion to the popular webcomic, Homestuck, and his equally undying hatred for Andrew Hussie. The comic is infamous for having been a catalyst in the creation of the podcast, as the podcast was originally birthed from Tad's longing for something more as during the comic's death rattle.
He got married to his longtime girlfriend, "Salty," on April 22nd of 2018. Deciding on a small reception, he asked his stepfather, Jeremiah Higgins, to preside over the marriage, to which he agreed.
He also streams on twitch.tv with the name "LMTYA", typically before episodes are put on YouTube.
Personality[]
Being a man who's witnessed the majority of Homestuck in real time, as well as someone working minimum wage while going to school, Tad is no stranger to sudden, severe disappointment. Despite this, he maintains a joking, "funny boy" attitude which he uses to keep up dialogue with cohosts and guests.
Homestuck[]
Tad is a fan of the webcomic Homestuck, (it's his constant bliss) going as far as to make six episodes on the subject. In every episode, there is at least one reference in some form, whether it's when the comic started as code, or directly mentioning characters or plot points of the comic. Tad has stated that he has read the comic in its entirety three times over. He has had one guest on the podcast directly related to Homestuck, one of the musicians, R!J Lake, where they discussed the comic, his music, and his other projects.
