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. We just wanted to put a quick trigger warning

at the top of this episode, as we do touch on themes of sexual violence within this episode. Hopefully,

we talk about it in the same sensitive way that we always

approach our work with, but we wanted to make sure that we give you guys the tools to look

after yourselves. And if this is something that might be triggering for you, then please

for free to skip this episode. Thank you very much, Halflings. Let's get into the episode.

Hello, Halflings. How is everyone doing?

I hope you're well.
