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.

This is a headgum podcast. Hello, Halflings. It's me, Jeremy. Here to let you know that what you're listening to right now is actually the shorter version of this episode.

That's right.

There is an extended cut of this episode.

This episode, my interview with Iza, a full 30 minutes longer, I think, somewhere in that neighborhood.

It's like 30 plus minutes longer somewhere in that vicinity.

Anyway, there's a whole section where we talk about all sorts of other fun stuff.

Reality shows, glee gets mentioned.

It's a blast.
