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. My pronouns are he, him. And I am joined today by...

You threw me off. I wasn't expecting it because I was like I was like I was doing a little hand puppy like My name is Jeff a minute I don't know why I'm being sad What's even better about that live Is the fact that you were hand puppeting off screen For the rest of us because your window is too small and we couldn't even know you were doing it.

We just thought you were doing. It was just for me. It was just for me. Hi, I'm Olivia Kennedy, but you can call me, Liv. Thank you. And my pronouns are she here. Thank you, so much. Yay. And my name is Jeremy Cobb. My pronouns are he, him. But Quinn Schulte from a couple of characters podcast, friend of the show, calls me Cobbapple. Ooh, it's good. Instead of crabapple. Yeah, nice. Can I say cobbple? Is that okay? Like kind of real. Crabble. Yeah. That feels like it's him together... I mean, look, I have no objection to kabble, but I feel like that is steering away from Quinn's vision. Sure. Sure, sure, sure. I guess I'm all sort of offering it as like creative notes to Quinn's vision, but like I'm willing to accept the original vision if that's what, like, if they feel really The only person in the history of the show that we've done this too. Yeah, I'm sure that... Yes.

I'm so fine. accept the original vision if that's what, like, if they feel really straight. The only person in the history of the show that we've done this too.

Yeah, I'm sure that.

Yes.

I say Cabapel would, it makes more sense even as a C-O-B-A-P-P-L-E instead of a C-O-B-B-A-P-P-L-E. So let's make it a spin-off. Right. Let's say Cabaple is either a spin-off, a prequel, something like that.

Yeah.
