What films and news open this episode and set the week’s agenda?
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 Taliesin 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.
He finally got her. Oh my God, he got her. For years, a deranged man in Wichita known as The Poet stalked Ruth Finley. He sent her letters, gifts, and poems. The Wichita police put everything they had into Ruth's case, but got nowhere.
The Poet was always two steps in front of us, and we just didn't know why.
And the city was already living in fear under the watch of another monster who called himself BTK. And he also had a thing for poetry.
Could we really have two different people?
But no one could have guessed how this would end.
That's one of those Hitchcock endings that we did not expect.

So I'm sitting watching England play Argentina. Hi, Simon. Hi. And then everyone's gathered around, you know, just because it's the World Cup and all that. And it's pretty tense. And then my phone buzzes. I imagine it's someone saying, you know, this is a tense match or, you know, what do you think? Or we're doomed or something like that. But no, it's a message from Mark saying, okay, our films for the next week are... I'm thinking, what? What? Do you not? What? How is this possible? And this continued. I think you said another one during the World Cup final as well. Yep, this is what we're working on in the next films. Anyway, I mean, I know you're not up for sport, but... I would have thought that you'd have been aware of what everyone else was doing.
If I can be quite clear, I sent those messages during the hydration breaks. Oh, I see. Okay. So firstly, I watched three football matches, right? I watched England-Argentina when we scored and then went into a defensive crouch. Hang on. I feel as though the world is rearranging itself. After we scored, why is it that we're no longer going anywhere near their end of the pitch? And anyway, so there was that. Then I watched England-France, which I thought was terrific. It was just like, goal, goal, goal. I mean, it was 4-0 at the end of the first half. I feel very disturbed now because this is the kind of conversation that I might have with someone else on the team. And you'd be going, what? What is this? What is a goal?
No, no, no. I really enjoyed it. And also what I really liked was the good-naturedness of it all.
