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.

Hello, Halflings. It's me, Jasper William Cartwright, and I am joined today by...

Hi, hi, hi, hi. It's me, uh, Liv Kennedy, but you can call me Liv. Thanks. And Jeremy Cobb, but Valeria Messalina calls me Sponge Cobb's Jairpants. Oh, nice. That's a quality one. Can I? It hasn't been a SpongeBob one before. That's wild. Yeah. I don't think we've had any reference to SpongeBob, which feels like such a seminal thing for us and people of our age.

But anyway, we're not here to talk about SpongeBob,

although that would be a good episode, honestly.

I think we could really get into some SpongeBob law.

Deep SpongeBob law.

Deep SpongeBob.
