What happens when two people who grew up in a very strange corner of Los Angeles look back and realize just how bizarre their upbringings really were?

They start a podcast, of course.

I'm Ashley Johnson.

And I'm Talas and Jaffe.

Before we became the internet people we are today, we spent our childhoods as working actors, appearing in shows like growing pains and films like Mr. Mom.

In our podcast, Weird Kids, we're diving deep into our unique upbringings, our friendship

with each other, and all the delightfully odd interests we still carry with us today.

In each episode, we get to share stories of our youth, the things that bring us joy, the

problems that we face,

and occasionally the friends we've collected along the way.

If you're a misfit, an outcast, or just a weirdo who loves all things nostalgic and

unconventional, come take a seat at our table.

Each week, we'll be releasing previously members-only episodes on YouTube and all major podcast

platforms, with new episodes dropping exclusively and ad-free on beacon.tv.

Welcome back, all of you vile creatures, to Curse of Strad Part 2. I am Baron Bon Cartwright, and as always I am joined by Countess Leando, Nati Lewis,

and...

Jeremy Dracobula, but there are those who call me Count Orcob.

Ooh, child. We are here for the second part of Curse of Strad. Thank you for listening or watching, indeed, the first one. I have to remember that I'm actually, that people will be able to see me in this one. It's not a podcast. We hope you enjoyed it. Yeah, this is what I normally do when we're recording podcasts.

Yeah, exactly. And now I feel exposed.

Yeah, but you're going to keep doing it anyway, because, you know, you're not embarrassed.

Not at all.

We actually tried to record the intro a few times, but Jeremy refused to stop doing a full Beyonce during it.
