Let Me Tell You About... The Hot Air Balloon North Pole Expedition

[@allisonfink8883]

I've been listening to you guys since 2017 and this is honestly in my top 3, I was not tall enough to ride this rollercoaster of an episode

[@LetMeTellYouAbout]

Much like an 1800's Fair goer

[@whocares9171]

That last journal entry give me actual fucking chills

[@popgunpanic2390]

I thought the difference between let me tell you about, and somewhat accurate history was that let me tell you about has to have atleast 1 homestuck reference

[@esseubot]

Yeah this one should've been a LMTYA because it was centered around a bad idea that just kept getting more awful as it goes on

The heart thing with the wife wasn't too unusual at the time (but probably more popular in the 1800s) in Europe. Lots of famous people or their families would often request the heart to be burried in a different place than the body. I've learned about so many historical figures that had it done to them that I never considered it might seem weird to anyone haha!

[@theanonymousmrgrape5911]

Very solid episode, if you’re ever planning to do another episode on idealistic and underprepared people who *spoilers* get themselves killed unnecessarily in the arctic; might I suggest the story of Christopher McCandless.

[@Stormfin]

Followup to that, the Shackleton Expedition. It gets outright Quixotic at times.

[@LetMeTellYouAbout]

I'll check it out!

[@spazzls4090]

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DUDE THE FEELS

@@LetMeTellYouAbout There's an entire book I had to read for my sophomore english class

[@Stormfin]

@@spazzls4090 Shackleton? Yeah, I had to do it too. It got kinda funny with how miserable it got.

[@maxpitchkites]

Cool balloon fact's: Salomon August Andree is the alternative universe version of Adolph Sax, possibly also a victim of time travel as suggested by the mysterious journal entry.

[@LetMeTellYouAbout]

Oh shiiiiit

[@blueduderecreation2103]

Another perfect podcast to listen to on the long drive to work.

[@Freedom0451]

Listened on Spotify but wanted to comment to say that the episode was great. We need a biopic of this asap and I say we need Joe in the lead role

[@derekghost9543]

I love you two goobs like you wouldn't believe.

[@jewjewsbizarreadventure]

Been watching you guys for a while now and this has to be my fave! If you're looking for suggestions, I'd recommend the history of Thailand or the Phillipines! Both are pretty overlooked historically speaking

[@dramaticallyread]

One of your best episodes.

[@NOyaLzuMu]

tad is full of hot air

[@jurassicparkboy]

I'd honestly think a revisit to this topic of the golden age of polar exploration would be so cool. Aleks' mentioning of the story of the Lost Franklin Expedition would make for a legendary episode in itself. The story is unbelievably bleak.

[@mathieuleader8601]

my ancestor invented kendal mint cake to help Shackleton on his voyage

[@LetMeTellYouAbout]

I don't know what any of that means but good on ya

[@johnguidoiv6431]

When Tad does it, can we call these LMTYA’s and when Aleks does it we call them SWAH’s?

[@jackhazardous4008]

I love the way you guys laugh when everything goes to shit

[@josephstalin6286]

*reads title* Oh no..

[@Stormfin]

Oh...oh, this one. The Scary one.

[@chocolatenekokitty]

Tad I love your SWAH/LMTYA episodes lately-- the last two have been so fucking interesting. Keep it up!

[@onemanlegion3274]

Guest starring Andrew Dobson.

[@Stormfin]

I love it that after the igloo, both of you stopped enjoying their mess-ups. It just stopped being funny after a point.

[@MsBloodyFox]

The story of the HMS Terror is truly terrifying.

[@Ikcatcher]

Oh boy time for my monthly history class

[@UsingGorillaLogic]

Another tad episode? What a double whammy green eggs and hammy!

[@ohitsstar1241]

Aw fuck its my favorite podcast that’s not Revival: a Dungeons and Dragons podcast.

[@hamlordofpork]

Thank you homies

[@jamiep9991]

The whole heart removal thing was probably connected to some old superstitions about the undead from ancient Europe.

could some one please explain what thats a refernce too

This is an important but forgotten part of Swedish history. It also spooky as fug

[@masterkillx]

ayyy bois we getting close to Russia again

[@Frerichs1962]

So are you guys are going to do a video on HMS Terror now?

[@spazzls4090]

this is the only podcast to make me lol

[@thehillz726]

do you guys have a link to the story about the Russian guy ? his story sounds trippy as hell

[@nickname5447]

Finally finished listening to this today. Surprisingly depressing actually. I think I'll stick to my Adolf Sax for now.

[@LetMeTellYouAbout]

He had the heart of a champion

WOOYEAH

Hell yea

[@ThatguycalledJoe]

Tad I can't believe you'd call that emergency boat what you did. There's no way it was a screw steamer, so the S.S. prefix is completely inappropriate. Shame on you for spreading misinformation.

[@LochNessHamster]

Your voices do not match your portraits at all. I always assumed the deep voiced, less geeky one was the buzzcut dude that kind of looks like Phil Anselmo from Pantera, and the Hatsune Miku obsessed one was the dude with glasses. I literally can't imagine it the other way around. I MUST see what you two actually look like.

[@LetMeTellYouAbout]

It's a common mixup

[@LochNessHamster]

@@LetMeTellYouAbout Is that the reason that you guys started drawing arrows with your names pointed at your portraits?

[@LetMeTellYouAbout]

Yup

[@twoskies1839]

that was.. much more riveting than i expected damn also this might be a dumb request and feel free to call me a snowflake or w/e, but can yall possibly refrain from using the r slur? i love yalls content but every time i hear you say it i get kinda uncomfortable

[@LetMeTellYouAbout]

I'm not sure which word you're referring to actually

[@Varatri]

as somebody who is autistic, let them say it. us retards really dont care at all if somebody says it and would prefer if people just said it, its literally just a word.
