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. Before we get into this week's episode, we have so many new patrons to shout out, yo.

Like, we joined and did the big announcement with

head gum, and there's a lot of people have joined the Patreon since we last recorded an episode.

So we wanted to come on and do us extra special shout out to all of our new patrons,

because there is a few of you.

It's been a veritable avalanche of Nadpoles.

So without further ado, let's thanks and patrons.

I'll start us off.
