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, just a quick content warning. This episode does address the real story of James Egbert

the third and contains references to suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, there are many resources available and we've dropped some down in the episode description. You are not alone and you never will be. Now on with the episode.

Hello, haflings. It's me, Liv Kennedy, and I am joined today by...

Oh, Jeremy Cobb. My pronouns are he, him. But Sarajevi or Sarah V. I apologize if I've mispronounced it. It's difficult to tell sometimes. Calls me Ermi J. Obke. I like that. Thank you. It's pretty cool. I like that a lot. It's a solid one. Absolutely.

My partner, especially here.

And we are also joined by someone else today.

Hi, Jeremy.

Yes, that's right.
